1.    FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE 

1.1.    Title of the proposal/initiative

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on phasing out Russian gas imports and improving monitoring of potential energy dependencies and amending Regulation (EU) 2017/1938

1.2.    Policy area(s) concerned 

Energy policy, customs policy, trade policy

1.3.    Objective(s)

1.3.1.    General objective(s)

The main objective of this legislative proposal is to phase out of Russian energy imports, specifically on gas and oil, with the objective to reduce Europe’s dependency on fossil fuels and to accelerate the transition to clean energy sources. The phase out of Russian gas imports must be completed by 2027.

The Russian Federation has systematically proven to be an unreliable partner, weaponising gas and manipulating energy markets, for instance by hoarding capacities in natural gas infrastructure, to the detriment of the Union’s essential international security interests. Hence, the remaining Russian gas imports pose significant risks to the Union’s security of energy supply with harmful economic and societal consequences. Against this background and considering that further payments of EUR 23 billion/year for Russian energy imports endanger the Union’s security, it is necessary to take additional measures to eliminate these imports, recognising that a complete phase out of energy supplies from the Russian Federation has to be a gradual process, bearing in mind security of supply and market considerations.

1.3.2.    Specific objective(s)

The purpose of the proposed Regulation is to effectively contribute to removing the Union’s dependencies and exposure to the significant risks for trade and energy security resulting from imports of gas and oil from the Russian Federation. The current remaining dependencies, if not addressed, could render the Union particularly vulnerable to potential unpredictable coercive actions of the Russian Federation.

The proposed Regulation seeks to decisively phase out pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) originating in or exported directly or indirectly from the Russian Federation, thereby preventing their access to the Union market. The proposed Regulation establishes a prohibition on natural pipeline gas imports as well as on LNG imports from the Russian Federation as of 1 January 2026

To reinforce the ban on Russian natural gas imports, the proposed Regulation establishes that starting 1 January 2026, entities from the Russian Federation or controlled by Russian persons are prohibited from obtaining long-term LNG terminal services in the EU for contracts made or amended after 17 June 2025, with contracts established prior to this date facing the prohibition from 1 January 2028. This would make accessible the corresponding import capacity to alternative suppliers within EU LNG terminals.

For an effective implementation of the ban on Russian gas imports, the proposed Regulation introduces mechanisms to enhance the transparency, monitoring, and traceability of Russian gas within the Union markets. With this objective, importers of Russian gas would be obliged to provide customs authorities with the necessary information to enable the application of the restrictions on gas imports from the Russian Federation. To bolster these efforts, customs authorities should foster an exchange of information with regulatory authorities, competent authorities, the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and the Commission.

To prepare for the full phase out of Russian gas in 2028 in a coordinated manner and to give the market sufficient time to anticipate the changes involved without risk for security of gas supply or a significant impact on energy prices, the proposed Regulation compels Member States to undertake a proactive role by developing and implementing national diversification plans geared towards phasing out Russian natural gas. These plans must delineate precise measures and establish milestones for the gradual elimination of direct or indirect Russian gas imports. Together with the enhanced cooperation with national customs authorities, this comprehensive dataset will enable the Commission to fill existing gaps concerning details of Russian supply contracts. The national diversification plans will allow the Commission to coordinate, and, where necessary, provide advice on diversification measures. The Commission's analysis of national diversification plans should culminate in a report and, if needed, recommendations for EU-wide measures to accelerate the reduction of dependence on Russian gas.

To fill existing gaps concerning details of Russian supply contracts, the proposed Regulation foresees a new transparency and monitoring framework requiring importers of Russian-origin natural gas to provide detailed contractual information to the Commission and to national competent authorities. When monitoring gas security of supply in the Union, the Commission should also take into account information on imports provided by customs authorities and information included in Member States' national diversification plans.

The proposed Regulation mandates that Member States also draft diversification plans to phase out Russian oil imports, aiming for information and coordination concerning the complete cessation of oil supplies by the end of 2027, as envisaged by the Versailles Declaration.  

1.3.3.    Expected result(s) and impact

This unified approach signifies a comprehensive strategy aimed at severing energy dependencies from the Russian Federation, thereby affirming the Union's commitment to an independent and resilient energy system. More generally, the proposed regulation pursues the objective of enhancing, in the field of energy supply, the Union’s economic security.

1.3.4.    Indicators of performance

Moreover, by 1 March 2026, Member States should develop national diversification plans with concrete actions and timelines for ceasing imports of Russian natural gas and oil supplies in accordance with the proposed Regulation.

When it comes to the national diversification plans for natural gas, Member States should include (i) available information on the volume of imports of natural gas which originates in or is exported directly or indirectly from the Russian Federation under existing supply contracts, as well as on LNG terminal services contracted by natural or legal persons established in the Russian Federation, where applicable; (ii) a clear description of measures in place and planned at national level to phase out natural gas which originates in or is exported directly or indirectly from the Russian Federation, including the quantities expected to be phased out, milestones and a timeline for their implementation and envisaged options for alternative supplies and supply routes. Such measures may include the use of the Aggregate EU Platform, support measures for diversification efforts of energy companies, cooperation in regional groups such as the CESEC High-Level Group, identifying alternatives to natural gas imports via electrification, energy efficiency measures, boosting the production of biogas, biomethane and clean hydrogen, renewable energy deployment or voluntary demand reduction measures; (iii) identification of any potential technical or regulatory barriers to replace natural gas which originates in or is exported directly or indirectly from the Russian Federation and options to overcome these.

Moreover, customs authorities and national competent authorities should monitor the implementation of the import prohibition of Russian natural gas and obligations set out under this Regulation. They should exchange all information necessary to assess whether the import ban and related obligations are complied with, so to be able to evaluate possible risks for gas trade and supply security.

The Commission shall assess the implementation of the proposed Regulation and progress in the phase out of gas from the Russian Federation based on the information received. Such assessment should be published in an annual report.

1.4.    The proposal/initiative relates to: 

 a new action 

 a new action following a pilot project / preparatory action 2  

 the extension of an existing action 

 a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another/a new action

1.5.    Grounds for the proposal/initiative 

1.5.1.    Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term including a detailed timeline for roll-out of the implementation of the initiative

Considering that since 2022 most Member States and market participants have finalised their supply relations with the Russian Federation, this proposed Regulation entails a prohibition on gas imports under new contracts concluded after [17 June 2025] as of 1 January 2026.

By 1 March 2026, Member States should develop national diversification plans delineating precise measures and establishing milestones for the gradual elimination of direct or indirect gas imports from the Russian Federation..

Such plans are supposed to help preparing the Member States for the full phase out of Russian gas in 2028 in a coordinated manner, to give the market sufficient time to anticipate the changes involved without risk for security of gas supply or a significant impact on energy prices.

1.5.2.    Added value of EU involvement (it may result from different factors, e.g. coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For the purposes of this section 'added value of EU involvement' is the value resulting from EU action, that is additional to the value that would have been otherwise created by Member States alone.

Reasons for action at EU level (ex-ante): The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine has had a significant negative impact on the Union's economy. The conflict has severely disrupted global supply chains, triggered substantial increases in energy prices, and introduced considerable volatility into the markets. As a result, the Union's trade relations with Russia have been substantially impaired.

Expected generated EU added value (ex-post): In response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in February 2022 and in line with the Versailles Declaration of Heads of State and Government, the Commission launched the REPowerEU Plan in May 2022. The Union was able to reduce Russian gas imports from 2021 to 2023 by over 70% from 150 bcm to 43 bcm, and energy prices have significantly gone down from the 2022 peaks. Against this background and considering that further payments of EUR 15 billion/year for Russian gas imports endanger the Union’s security, it is necessary to take additional measures to eliminate these imports, recognising that a complete phase out of energy supplies from the Russian Federation has to be a gradual process, bearing in mind security of supply and market considerations.

1.5.3.    Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past

The energy sector has been profoundly affected as Russia exploited Union’s reliance on its energy exports to the Union as a means of exerting coercion and manipulation. The reliance on Russian energy imports rendered the Union and Member States vulnerable to disruptions and price fluctuations, which have had a far-reaching impact on the entire economy. The elevated energy prices eroded the competitiveness of EU industries, ultimately undermining the Union's economic stability and growth prospects.

Russia has a history of threatening the EU’s security of supply by unilaterally cutting gas flows to Europe as it happenend in 2006, 2009 and 2014, the intentional reduction of gas flows and storage filling levels ahead of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in the autumn of 2021 followed by the cut of gas supplies in 2022.

The Russian Federation and its energy companies can therefore no longer be considered reliable energy trading partners by the Union.

The impact of Russia’s weaponisation of energy goes beyond energy security of supply and seriously harmed the Union’s economy as a whole. Energy prices were the most important driver of inflation, which at its peak reached levels above 10% in 2022. The Union energy system suffered serious repercussions, which trickled down to the retail markets and final consumers as the Union's economy is reliant on stable and predictable energy supplies.

For these reasons, the purpose of the proposed Regulation is to effectively contribute to removing the Union’s dependencies and exposure to the significant risks for trade and energy security resulting from imports of gas and oil from the Russian Federation. The current remaining dependencies, if not addressed, could render the Union particularly vulnerable to potential unpredictable coercive actions of the Russian Federation.

1.5.4.    Compatibility with the multiannual financial framework and possible synergies with other appropriate instruments

The proposed legislation is completely aligned with the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) in recongising the negative impact of the illegal war of Russian aggression against Ukraine which has brought war back to European soil with a devastating effect on different dimensions, including energy. This proposal is offering a set of measures necessary aiming to tackle the increased geopolitical instability and the crisis circumstances in which we have been living over the past years.

It is also in line with the evident need to significantly increase investments to foster long-term competitiveness. Accelerating Europe’s twin transition provides the opportunity for the Union to regain leadership in key sectors through smart public and private investment in strategic sectors, while preserving a level playing field in the single market and thereby cohesion. This is also important against the background of current strategic dependencies, the ongoing demographic change and to ensure affordable access to energy.

The EU budget is the ultimate EU tool to underpin common action at EU level, preserving the integrity of the Single Market, securing economies of scale, effectiveness, convergence, solidarity and passing a clear political message that the EU stands together in the face of challenges. For all the reasons above, this legislative packgage perflectly fits within this solid and well-established framework.

1.5.5.    Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for redeployment

The proposed Regulation will require budgetary support when it comes to additional job posts in DG ENER to monitor its correct implementation (including potential missions abroad). It is estimated that three additional job posts (Contractual Agents FGIV level) should be planned to adequately deal with the mornitoring and assessment tasks that this Regulation is proposing. It would be important to keep into consideration the possibility for Commission’s officials to travel abroad to explain and promote the messages of the proposed Regulation, while ensuring its correct implementation. The financing is planned to stay within the current EU budgetary framework.

Furthermore, the proposed Regulation foresees the support from ACER in the assessment and monitoring of the phase out of gas from the Russian Federation. ACER shall therefore be granted additional tasks, namely on monitoring of Russian contracts and in assisting the Commission and national authorities, for which it will need additional human resources. These resources can be covered by redeploying staffs originally granted to ACER in fullfilling the tasks assigned to the Agency by the Market Correction mechanisms regulation (c.f LFS for Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION Establishing a market correction mechanism to protect citizens and the economy against excessively high prices COM/2022/668 final).

Considering that monitoring of correct importing practices of natural gas will likely continue beyond 2027 and the possibility that DG ENER will have to deal with litigation cases deriving from the proposed Regulation, DG ENER may consider requesting additional human resources once the new Multiannual Financial Framework is adopted.

2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES

2.1.    Monitoring and reporting rules 

The proposed measure is focussed on policy actions, monitoring, reporting and does not foresee any revenue or expenditure management, only the recruitment of additional human resources (Contract Agent FGIV level).

2.2.    Management and control system(s) 

2.2.1.    Justification of the budget implementation method(s), the funding implementation mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed

The expenditure corresponding to these contracts will be managed in line with corporate processes.

2.2.2.    Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them

The Commission applies thorough controls on the management of employment contracts and DG ENER abides by strict ethical standards. The legislative proposal does not entail any revenue collection and does not require any additional control mechanism.

2.2.3.    Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio between the control costs and the value of the related funds managed), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure) 

The overall risk of errors is expected to be very low and is already covered by the existing control environment.  No automated controls are expected to be required.

2.3.    Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities 

The legislative proposal does not entail any revenue collection by DG ENER. Regarding the expenditures, they are foreseen for the hiring of additional human resources between 1st January 2026 and 31st December 2027, besides missions abroad for the relevant Commission’s officials. Potential requests for additional human resources beyond 2027 will depend on the budgetary availabilities of the new Multiannual Fianancial Framework.

The risk of fraud and irregularities is considered very low and will be covered by existing controls. DG ENER revised its antifraud strategy in line with OLAF guidelines in 2020 and plans for a subsequent update in 2026. The local strategy includes relevant actions to ensure awareness raising on fraud prevention, dedicated risk assessment actions and ensures an effective and efficient cooperation with investigative bodies.

The corporate framework ensures the right of access to information, premises and staff to the external (European Court of Auditors) and internal (IAS) auditors.

Description of tasks to be carried out by:

Officials and temporary staff

/

External staff

This legislative proposal is articulated in a number of options which require solid policy knowledge and substantial time allocation. DG ENER is suffering at the moment of workforce constraints, which, if not reinforced, may impact on the monitoring and tracking tasks derivign from this legislation. The candidate is requested to have a solid knowledge of the functioning of the gas and/or oil markets, besides feeling confident in dealing with Security of Supply provisions and gas/oil market rules. As transparency, monitoring and reporting are the pillars of the legislative proposal, the candidate will be required to (i) ensure a smooth exchange of information between the national customs authorities, the national energy authorities and the Commission; (ii) take part to the assessment of the national diversification plans submitted by the Member States by the indicated timeline; should this not be the case, the candidate should be able to support the Member State in elaborating a more ambitious target.

The additional posts should be occupied as soon as possible (as of 1st January 2026 at the latest), until at least the final deadline for complete gas phase out, 31 December 2027.

Considering that monitoring of correct importing practices of natural gas will likely continue beyond 2027 and the possibility that the Commission will have to deal with litigation cases deriving from the proposed Regulation, the Commission may consider requesting additional human resources once the new Multiannual Financial Framework is adopted.

3.2.6.    Compatibility with the current multiannual financial framework

The proposal/initiative:

   can be fully financed through redeployment within the relevant heading of the multiannual financial framework (MFF)

   requires use of the unallocated margin under the relevant heading of the MFF and/or use of the special instruments as defined in the MFF Regulation

To ensure full and adequate implementation of the proposed Regulation, DG ENER is requesting three additional Full Time Equivalent (FTEs) candidates under the contractual form of ‘Contractual Agents FGIV’ to become operational as soon as possible (as of 1st January 2026 at the latest) until 31st December 2027.

The budget line considered for this purpose is POWER-CAENER (E.06010102.01), being this Regulation fully in line with the REPowerEU objectives.

These FTEs will have to be knowledgeable in policy related content when it comes to gas and oil markets and will be tasked with the assessment, monitoring and reporting activities deriving from the implementation of the Regulation in question. Moreover, this budget request should cover the possibility to organise missions for the Commission’s officers, at different levels, to the Member States to discuss with national authorities and/or companies impacted by this legislation.

Considering that monitoring of correct importing practices of natural gas will likely continue beyond 2027 and the possibility that the Commission will have to deal with litigation cases deriving from the proposed Regulation, the Commission may consider requesting additional human resources once the new Multiannual Financial Framework is adopted.

   requires a revision of the MFF

4.    Digital dimensions

4.1.    Requirements of digital relevance

The proposed Regulation is assessed as having limited requirement of digital relevance. In fact, it refers to two main aspects of the proposed legislative text.

First, the Commission is requiring the Member States to submit their national diversification plans to phase out Russian natural gas and oil by using the provided template and notify it via formal email exchange, taking inspiration from the mechanism used in the Emergency Plans and the Preventive Action Plans foreseen within the framework of the Security of Supply Regulation. Once received, the Commission will notify orally the notification of such plans to the Gas Coordination Group and will publish them on the Commission's website.

Second, the proposed Regulation should provide for an effective framework to establish the actual origin and the point of export of natural gas imported into the Union. Importers of natural gas should therefore be obliged to provide customs authorities with all information necessary to establish the origin and the point of export of natural gas imported into the Union and to decide whether the imported gas falls under an exception which allows imports of Russian natural gas after. Customs authorities should cooperate with regulatory authorities and competent authorities to implement the provisions of this Regulation and exchange relevant information.

Given that the national diversification plans will be notified via formal email exchange and that customs authorities, regulatory authorities and competent authorities should have the necessary tools and databases in place to ensure that relevant information can be exchanged, DG ENER foresees no impact on the IT landscape of the Commission, nor a new loan of investment for the Commission’s IT services to go through.

4.2.    Data

The existing gaps concerning details of Russian supply contract undermine the Union’s ability to evaluate gas supply security. Therefore, the proposed Regulation proposes a new transparency and monitoring framework requiring importers of Russian-origin gas to provide detailed contractual information to the Commission and other competent authorities. The information should include at least all of the following: the date of the conclusion of the gas supply contract; the duration of the gas supply contract; the contracted gas quantities, including all upward or downward flexibility rights; the identity of the parties to the gas supply contract, including the EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) number of the economic operator in the EU who purchases the gas; the producer of the gas and the country of production, if appropriate, where the gas was further processed; for LNG imports, the port of first loading; the delivery points, including possible flexibilities concerning the delivery point; any modification of the gas supply contract, indicating content and date of the modification, with the exception of modifications which relate solely to the gas price.

The data will be complemented by Member States' national diversification plans.

Together with the enhanced cooperation with customs authorities and other authorities involved in the monitoring, which may request more detailed information, this comprehensive dataset will enable the Commission to assess the Union's exposure to Russian gas and the effectiveness of phase-out strategies.

4.3.    Digital solutions

No specific digital solution is set up for this piece of legislation.

The information exchanged refers to the information included in the national diversification plans (quantities, contract details, partners, delivery logistics, and conditions excluding price information) which will be notified to the Commission via formal email exchange and consequently to the Gas Coordination Group, before being published on the Commission’s website.

Regarding the exchange of information between customs authorities, regulatory authorities and competent authorities, they should have the necessary tools and databases in place to ensure that relevant information can be exchanged between national authorities and authorities in different Member States where necessary.

Customs authorities should notify regulators, the national competent authority, ACER and the Commission on a monthly basis regarding key elements concerning the development of imports of Russian gas (such as quantities imported under long-term or short-term contracts, entry points, or contract partners).

4.4.    Interoperability assessment

Importers of natural gas should therefore be obliged to provide customs authorities with all information necessary to establish the origin and the point of export of natural gas imported into the Union. Given the complexity of the information requested, customs authorities should have the right to ask importers for detailed contractual information, including entire supply contracts, excluding price information, where this is necessary to understand the context of certain clauses or references to other provisions.

Customs authorities should cooperate with regulatory authorities and competent authorities to implement the provisions of the proposed Regulation and exchange relevant information, notably when it comes to the assessment of exemptions allowing imports of Russian natural gas after [1.1.2026].

Customs authorities, regulatory authorities and competent authorities should have the necessary tools and databases in place to ensure that relevant information can be exchanged between national authorities and authorities in different Member States where necessary. Customs authorities should notify regulators, the national competent authority, ACER and the Commission on a monthly basis regarding key elements concerning the development of imports of Russian gas (such as quantities imported under long-term or short-term contracts, entry points, or contract partners).

4.5. Measures to support digital implementation

The current legislative proposal is relying on existing mechanisms of notification, monitoring and reporting: in the case of the diversification plans, the Member States will notify via email to the Commission and the Commission will report to the Gas Coordination Group before making the plan publicly available on its website; in the case of exchanging with the customs authorities, the legislative process will rely on existing mechanisms and databases already available for the customs authorities.

NB: In case the initial Commission proposal evolves considerably during the legislative negotiations, it should be considered to update information laid down in the LFDS for any financial and/or digital aspects, as necessary, with the aim to support the negotiation process and create clarity for all parties concerned.

4.Methods of calculation used to estimate costs

4.1.Human resources

This part sets out the method of calculation used to estimate the human resources considered necessary (workload assumptions, including specific jobs (Sysper 2 work profiles), staff categories and the corresponding average costs)

The staff required to implement the proposal (in FTEs): 

Internally redeployed

Exceptional additional staff

Within the implementing DGs*

Exceptionally, from the Commission redeployment pool after orientation from the CMB**

To be financed from Heading 7*** / Research

To be financed from BA line

To be financed from fees

NB: The average costs for each category of staff at Headquarters are available on BUDGpedia:

https://myintracomm.ec.europa.eu/corp/budget/financial-rules/budget-implementation/Pages/financial-statement.aspx

□ Officials and temporary staff

□ External staff

Outside HEADING 7 of the multiannual financial framework

□ Only posts financed from the research budget

External staff

The proposed Reglation is articulated in a number of options which require solid policy knowledge and substantial time allocation. DG ENER is suffering at the moment of workforce constraints, which, if not reinforced, may impact on the monitoring and tracking tasks derivign from this legislation. The candidate is requested to have a solid knowledge of the functioning of the gas and/or oil markets, besides feeling confident in dealing with Security of Supply provisions and gas/oil market rules. As transparency, monitoring and reporting are the pillars of the legislative proposal, the candidate will be required to (i) ensure a smooth exchange of information between the national customs authorities, the national energy authorities and the Commission; (ii) take part to the assessment of the national diversification plans submitted by the Member States by the indicated timeline; should this not be the case, the candidate should be able to support the Member State in elaborating a more ambitious target.

The additional posts should be occupied as soon as possible (as of 1st January 2026 at the latest), until at least the final deadline for complete gas phase out, 31 December 2027.

Considering that monitoring of correct importing practices of natural gas will likely continue beyond 2027 and the possibility that the Commission will have to deal with litigation cases deriving from the proposed Regulation, the Commission may consider requesting additional human resources once the new Multiannual Financial Framework is adopted.

4.2.Other administrative expenditure

HEADING 7 of the multiannual financial framework

Outside HEADING 7 of the multiannual financial framework

Part of the budget requested should cover possible missions to be carried out as implementation actions of this legislative proposal. Commission’s officers may be requested to go on mission abroad to promote and explain the measures proposed in the Regulation, to discuss with EU Member States’ regulatory authorities to ensure smooth and swift implementation of the Regulation in question.

DG ENER is asking for a budget request amounting to EUR 15.000/ year, meaning EUR 5.000/ per FTE, representing five missions to the EU Member States.

(1)    Such measures may include the use of the Aggregate EU Platform pursuant to Article 42 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1789, [The reference seems to be incorrect, please check and correct] support measures for diversification efforts of energy companies, cooperation in regional groups such as the Central and South-Eastern Europe Energy Connectivity (CESEC) High-Level Group, identifying alternatives to natural gas imports via electrification, energy efficiency measures, boosting the production of biogas, biomethane and clean hydrogen, renewable energy deployment or voluntary demand reduction measures.
(2)    As referred to in Article 58(2), point (a) or (b) of the Financial Regulation.
(3)    Diff. = Differentiated appropriations / Non-diff. = Non-differentiated appropriations.
(4)    EFTA: European Free Trade Association.
(5)    Candidate countries and, where applicable, potential candidates from the Western Balkans.
(6)    Still pending validation by DG ECFIN
(7)    Human resources for 2025 will be depending on whether or not the current proposal is adopted in time
(8)    Technical and/or administrative assistance and expenditure in support of the implementation of EU programmes and/or actions (former ‘BA’ lines), indirect research, direct research.
(9)    The necessary appropriations should be determined using the annual average cost figures available on the appropriate BUDGpedia webpage.
(10)    The necessary appropriations should be determined using the annual average cost figures available on the appropriate BUDGpedia webpage.
(11)    Please specify below the table how many FTEs within the number indicated are already assigned to the management of the action and/or can be redeployed within your DG and what are your net needs.
(12)    As regards traditional own resources (customs duties, sugar levies), the amounts indicated must be net amounts, i.e. gross amounts after deduction of 20% for collection costs.
(13)    Commission calculates the need the additional staff beyond 2027.
(14)    The opinion of DG DIGIT – IT Investments Team is required (see the Guidelines on Financing of IT, C(2020 ) 6126 final of 10.9.2020, page 7).
