COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL

Technical adjustment of the multiannual financial framework for 2023 in accordance with Article 4 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027


COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL

Technical adjustment of the multiannual financial framework for 2023 in accordance with Article 4 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027

1.introduction

The present communication provides the budgetary authority with the result of the technical adjustment ahead of the budgetary procedure for the year 2023 in accordance with Article 4 of the Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027 1 (the ‘MFF Regulation’). In particular, the technical adjustment establishes the expenditure ceilings at current prices based on the fixed 2% deflator as provided for in Article 4(2) of the MFF Regulation.

On the basis of the latest economic forecasts 2 , the communication also provides a calculation of the margin under the own resources ceiling set in application of the Council Decision on the system of own resources of the European Union in force at the time of the adoption of this communication.

The communication also presents the amounts available under the Single Margin Instrument under Article 11(1)(a) and 11(1)(c), the adjustment of the payment ceiling in accordance with Article 11(1)(b) and the programme specific adjustments as provided in Article 5 of the MFF Regulation.

In accordance with Article 4(1) of the MFF Regulation, the Commission makes the technical adjustment to the financial framework and communicates the results to the budgetary authority each year, ahead of the budgetary procedure for year n+1.

According to Article 4(4) of the MFF Regulation, and without prejudice to Articles 6 and 7 of that Regulation, no further technical adjustments are made in respect of the year concerned, either during the year or as ex-post corrections during subsequent years.

2.Terms of the adjustment of the Multiannual Financial Framework table (Annex - tables 1-2)

Table 1 in the Annex shows the EU multiannual financial framework in 2018 prices of the MFF Regulation adjusted according to Articles 2(1), 5(2) and 11 of that Regulation.

Table 2 in the Annex shows the EU multiannual financial framework adjusted in current prices.

The financial framework expressed in percentage of the Union’s gross national income (GNI) is updated with the latest economic forecasts. On that basis, the EU GNI for 2023 is established at EUR 16 342 510 million in current prices.

2.1.Main results of the technical adjustment of the Multiannual Financial Framework for 2023

The overall MFF ceiling for commitment appropriations for 2023 stands at EUR 182 667 million in current prices, which equals 1,12% of GNI. The overall MFF ceiling for payment appropriations corresponds to EUR 168 575 million in current prices, equivalent to 1,03% of GNI.

On 1 June 2021, Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 of 14 December 2020 on the system of own resources (‘ORD 2020’) 3 entered into force. It applies retroactively as of 1 January 2021. The own resources ceiling for payment appropriations is set at 2,00% of the sum of all the Member States’ GNIs. Out of this, 0,60 percentage points are a temporary increase for the sole purpose of covering all liabilities stemming from the European Union Recovery Instrument 4 .

The resulting margin for 2023 between the MFF ceiling for payment appropriations and the own resources ceiling for payment appropriations stands at EUR 158 275 million, or 0,97% of GNI 5 .

The table below provides information for the period 2021-2027 on the margin (in percentage of GNI) between the MFF ceiling for payment appropriations and the own resources ceiling for payment appropriations.

2.2.Adjustment of the sub-ceiling for Heading 3

According to Article 2(1) of the MFF Regulation, the sub-ceiling for Heading 3 for ‘market related expenditure and direct payments’ (pillar I of the Common Agricultural Policy - CAP) for the period 2021-2027 shall be adjusted following the transfers between the first and second pillars of the CAP in accordance with the legal act establishing these transfers. The total amount of the ceiling for commitment appropriations for Heading 3 does not change.

The sub-ceiling of Heading 3 is adjusted for the third time 8 in the technical adjustment of the MFF for 2023.

The deadline for submitting transfer notifications by Member States to the Commission was 1 August 2021. The result was set out in Commission Delegated Regulations 2022/42 9 of 8 November 2021 and 2022/648 of 15 February 2022 10 . These transfers covered the reduction of payments and flexibility between pillars in accordance with Article 11(1), Article 11(6), fourth subparagraph, Article 14(1), seventh subparagraph, and Article 14(2), seventh subparagraph of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 11 . These amendments affect the application of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 12 for the year 2023.

The changes in current prices in the Heading 3 sub-ceiling are converted into 2018 prices to adjust the multiannual financial framework table which is expressed in 2018 prices. For this purpose, the net balance of transfers is first converted into 2018 prices by using the 2% fixed annual deflator. This result is then rounded up to express the adjusted sub-ceiling in millions of euros. The rounding-up is necessary to ensure that the MFF sub-ceiling is always higher than the net balance available for expenditure in the annual budget for the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF). The resulting small difference does not constitute an available margin, but is exclusively arising from the rounding operation. For each annual budget, the Commission will use the exact amounts of the net balance available for EAGF expenditure.

The table below shows the net result (in million euro) of the transfers between the two pillars of CAP and their impact for the Heading 3 sub-ceiling.

2.3.Programme specific adjustments in accordance with Article 5(2) of the MFF Regulation

In accordance with Articles 5(2) and 4(1)(e) of the MFF Regulation, this communication includes the calculation, for the year 2023, of the additional allocations for specific programmes referred to in Annex II to the MFF Regulation and the resulting upwards adjustments of the ceilings for commitment and payment appropriations.

For 2021, the revenue from fines (and related interest) imposed under Council Regulations (EC) No 1/2003 13 and (EC) No 139/2004 14 and recorded as budgetary revenue up to the end of the year amounts to EUR 1 233 million 15 (EUR 1 117 million in 2018 prices). This amount is below the minimum threshold of EUR 1 500 million in 2018 prices. Therefore, the minimum threshold provides the total volume of the adjustment for 2023 in 2018 prices.

The adjustment in current prices amounts to EUR 1 657 million after applying the 2% annual deflator and rounding up to million euro in line with how the MFF ceilings are expressed. This amount corresponds to the upward adjustment of the overall ceiling in commitment appropriations and the ceiling in payment appropriations for the year 2023.

The breakdown of the adjustment by MFF heading and programme is based on the column 'Distribution key' of Annex II to the MFF Regulation. The adjustments of the individual ceilings in commitment appropriations are rounded up to the nearest million euro 16 .

2.4.Adjustment of the payment ceiling in accordance with Article 4(1)(d) and Article 11(1)(b) – Single Margin Instrument.

In accordance with Article 4(1)(d) of the MFF Regulation, the technical adjustment shall include the amount of the adjustment of the ceiling for payment appropriations under the Single Margin Instrument (SMI) as referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 11(1).

In accordance with Article 11(1)(b), this adjustment is carried out for the first time in 2022 for the technical adjustment of 2023.

The 2021 payment ceiling was EUR 166 140 million in current prices. The payments executed in 2021 amount to EUR 165 587 million. To this amount the carry-overs from 2021 to 2022 must be added (EUR 2 226 million) as they are considered as executed.

The payments and carry-overs related with the special instruments (EUR 4 316 million) are excluded from the execution as they are treated as being over and above the MFF ceilings in accordance with Article 3(2) of the MFF Regulation. Therefore the execution taken into account for the calculation of the SMI is EUR 163 496 million.

The remaining margin under the 2021 payment ceiling is EUR 2 644 million in current prices.

2 492,0

The amount of the SMI part 11(1)(b) in 2018 prices corresponds to EUR 2 492 million. Taking into account the provisions of Article 11(3), the payment ceiling in 2021 shall be decreased by this amount. The amount of the SMI part 11(1)(b) is transferred to the payment ceilings of the years 2022 (EUR 1 246 million) and 2023 (EUR 1 246 million). This results in an unchanged overall payment ceiling for the period 2021-2027 in 2018 prices.

According to Article 4(2) of the MFF Regulation, the 2% deflator shall be used for the calculation of the SMI part 11(1)(b) and the corresponding adjustment of the payment ceiling. The 2021 ceiling in current prices is therefore reduced by EUR 2 644 million and the ceiling in current prices is increased by EUR 1 349 million for 2022 and EUR 1 376 million for 2023. As a result of the application of Article 11(1)(b), the overall payment ceiling in current prices for the period 2021-2027 corresponds to EUR 1 196 916 million.

The table below shows the details of the adjustment of the payment ceiling resulting from the implementation of the provisions of Article 11(1)(b).

3.2.1.Single Margin Instrument

3.2.1.1. Amount of commitment appropriations available under the Single Margin Instrument part 11(1)(a)

In accordance with Article 4(1)(c) of the MFF Regulation, the Commission shall calculate and communicate, as part of the annual technical adjustment of the MFF, the amount available in commitment appropriations under the Single Margin Instrument (SMI) as referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph of Article 11(1). This amount is calculated for the first time in this communication.

Article 11(1)(a) of the MFF Regulation provides that margins left available below the MFF ceilings for commitment appropriations of year n-1 will be made available over and above the MFF ceilings for commitment appropriations for the years 2022 to 2027.

In the final annual EU budget for 2021, the margin left available under the commitment ceiling amounts to EUR 629,0 million in current prices. The commitments on Special Instruments (including the mobilisation of the SMI parts 11(1)(a) and 11(1)(c)) are not taken into account as they are entered in the budget over and above the MFF ceilings in accordance with Article 2(2) of the MFF Regulation.

According to Article 4(2) of the MFF Regulation, the 2% annual fixed deflator shall be used for the calculation of the technical adjustment. The amount of the remaining margin from 2021 which shall be made available for 2022 corresponds to EUR 629,0 million in current prices in 2021 or EUR 641,5 million in current prices in 2022. In case it is not used in 2022, the SMI available in 2023 will therefore be equal to EUR 654,4 million (in current prices in 2023).

The table below shows the details of the calculation of the SMI originating from 2021.

3.2.1.2. Total maximum amounts in commitments and payments that may be mobilised under the Single Margin Instrument parts 11(1)(a) and 11(1)(c).

The total maximum amount referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph of Article 11(2) is 0,04% of the EU GNI, that is equivalent to EUR 6 537,0 million in 2023.

The total maximum amount referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 11(2) is 0,03% of the EU GNI, that is equivalent to EUR 4 902,8 million in 2023.

3.2.2.Flexibility Instrument

According to Article 12 of the MFF Regulation, the Flexibility Instrument can be mobilised up to a maximum annual amount of EUR 915 million in 2018 prices, or EUR 1 010,2 million in current prices for 2023. Any portion of the unused annual amounts of the previous two years may be carried over.

(5)      The specific margin under the temporary increase of the own resources ceiling corresponding to 0,60% of the sum of all the Member States’ GNIs will depend on the expenditure authorised for 2023 in relation to liabilities under the European Union Recovery Instrument and the corresponding own resources to finance it.
(6)    In accordance with Article 4(4) of the MFF Regulation, the MFF ceiling for payment appropriations and the margins for the year 2021 and 2022 are not further adjusted following the technical adjustment for 2021 (communicated to the European Parliament and the Council on 18.12.2020 (COM(2020)848 final)) and 2022 (communicated to the European Parliament and the Council on 07.06.2021 (COM(2021)365 final).
(7)    This percentage is calculated by subtracting the average of the annual MFF ceilings for payment appropriations for each year of the period 2021-2027 (namely 1,02% of the sum of all the Member States’ GNIs) from the own resources ceiling for payment appropriations of 2.00% of the sum of all the Member States’ GNIs, applicable throughout the whole period 2021–2027.
(8)    The first adjustment was described in the technical adjustment of the MFF for 2021 (COM/2020/848 final) of 18 December 2020. The adjustment for 2022 was described in COM(2021)365 of 4 June 2021.

According to Article 11(1), Member States shall reduce the amount of direct payments by at least 5 % for the part of the amount exceeding EUR 150 000. In accordance with Article 11(6), Member States shall notify the Commission of their decisions on the reduction of payments for calendar year 2022 and of any estimated product of reduction by 1 August 2021.

(15)      Based on the 2021 provisional annual accounts (Articles 420 and 424) after deduction of the amount collected for the year n-1 referred to in Article 141(1) of the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community.
(16)      The amount for the heading with highest share is established as the difference between the total adjustment and the sum of the amounts for all other headings in order to avoid rounding discrepancies.
(17)      Regulation (EU) 2021/691 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013, OJ L 153, 3.5.2021, p. 48.
