1 EUROPEAN COMMISSION GENERAL BUDGET SECTION III - COMMISSION TITLES 01, 02, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26, 29, 40 BRUSSELS, 29/09/2010 TRANSFER OF APPROPRIATIONS N DEC 53/2010 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. Introduction After reviewing actual implementation and expected utilisation of payment appropriations to the end of the financial year, the Commission each year proposes a so-called "Global Transfer" designed to rebalance payment appropriations for the current budget year. As far as possible, the shortfall in appropriations identified is met by internal transfers within the relevant budget chapters. The Global Transfer proposal relates to readjustments that cannot be met by such internal transfers. Traditionally, the Global Transfer concerns only payment appropriations. This Global Transfer proposal for 2010 relates to payment appropriations across most headings of the multi-annual financial framework, amounting to some EUR million in total. In absolute terms, the largest increase is for Cohesion policy (EUR million for the European Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund combined) whereas the largest decrease is for Rural Development (EUR million). This Global Transfer proposal, developed in close collaboration with the Directorates-General concerned, aims at meeting the additional payment needs of programmes and actions that have been implemented faster than anticipated, using the available appropriations from those that are expected to be under-utilised by year-end. The proposed transfers for reinforcement concern the following Headings of the multi-annual financial framework: Heading 1a: Competitiveness EUR million Heading 1b: Cohesion EUR million Heading 2: Natural Resources EUR 84.0 million Heading 3a: Freedom, Security and Justice EUR 3.2 million Heading 3b: Citizenship EUR 17.0 million Heading 4: EU as a Global Player EUR million The proposed transfers for reductions are from: Heading 1a: Competitiveness EUR million Heading 2: Natural Resources EUR million Heading 3a: Freedom, Security and Justice EUR 27.1 million Heading 3b: Citizenship EUR 31.8 million Heading 4: EU as a Global Player EUR million In total, 95 budget lines are concerned (51 for reinforcement and 44 for reductions), compared to 79 (31 for reinforcement and 48 for reductions) budget lines included in the Global Transfer presented at the end of Reinforcements and reductions of payment appropriations EN 1 EN

2 The proposed reinforcements are summarised in this section, with reference to the available appropriations to offset these increases. In the first instance, matching is undertaken within each heading of the multiannual financial framework. The excess payment appropriations in headings 2 (- EUR million), 3a (- EUR 23.9 million) and 3b (- EUR 14.8 million) are balanced by the need for reinforcements in headings 1a (+ EUR 30.3 million) and 1b (EUR million). 2.1 Reinforcements The transfer request proposes to reinforce 51 budget lines. The main lines (i.e. for which changes are above EUR 10 million) concerned, by heading and decreasing size of the reinforcement, are the following: Heading 1a Competitiveness for Growth and Employment + EUR 70 million for Support for research cooperation in the area of information and communication technologies (ICTs - Cooperation). The current progress in the implementation of operations related to Call 6 of the FP7 ICT Cooperation programme will allow the Commission to initiate pre-financing payments before the end of The additional appropriations requested are therefore necessary to ensure that at least 37 Call 6 pre-financing payments can be authorised by the Commission. + EUR 46.8 million for Euratom - Nuclear fission and radiation protection. The new estimate takes into account the progress of research projects signed between 2007 and 2009 (for calls for proposals FP7-Fission-2007 and FP7-Fission-2008), and of financial reporting at this stage of the year for these projects, and the acceleration of procedures for evaluation and negotiation of the call for proposals FP7-Fission-2010 thereby reducing the time of contracting. + EUR 25.9 million for budget article People. The proposed increase will allow for the signing a higher proportion of grants and subsequent pre-financing in EUR 22.3 million for Capacities - Research for the benefit of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (budget article ). As in the case of People ( ), the proposed increase on this budget article will allow for the signing a higher proportion of grants and subsequent pre-financing in EUR 20 million for Cooperation - Socioeconomic sciences and the humanities. The new estimate takes account of the good progress in the 94 research projects signed between 2007 and 2009, and the acceleration of procedures for evaluation and negotiation of calls for proposals in 2010, thus reducing the time of contracting. + EUR 20 million for Cooperation - Environment (including climate change). Measures taken to reduce the time-to-grant have allowed for the launching of the main call for proposals FP7-ENV-2010 earlier than expected, and for the acceleration of negotiations for all calls for proposals in EUR 15 million for Completion of previous EC framework programmes (prior to 2007). The current stock of FP6 cost claims received and registered by the Commission has been analysed to determine which payments will be due before the year-end. On this basis, out of a stock of pending invoices amounting to EUR 61 million, it is expected that an increase of payment appropriations will be necessary to pay 66 invoices. + EUR 13.5 million for Capacities - Research infrastructures The additional appropriations requested are necessary for the interim payment for the GÉANT project the pan- European data network dedicated to the research and education community. + EUR 12 million for budget article Capacities - Research potential. The new estimate of payment appropriations required takes into account the acceleration of procedures for evaluation and negotiation of the call for proposals in The additional appropriations are needed to cover pre-financing. + EUR 11.7 million for Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme - Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme The 2009 budget, for this budget line faced an under implementation due to significant delays in the submission of interim reports by beneficiaries of the Enterprise Europe Network and ensuing delays in payments from 2009 to These payments have now been caught up with, and the current request for an increase is intended to compensate this delay of payments from 2009 to 2010, while allowing other 2010 payments to continue according to schedule Heading 1b Cohesion for Growth and Employment EN 2 EN

3 + EUR 625 million for the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Convergence (budget article ). The operational programmes are reaching cruising speed in 2010 and more payment claims than originally foreseen are expected. In order to respond to the higher than expected claims for reimbursements and to ensure smooth continuation of the actions the budget article needs to be reinforced. + EUR 500 million for budget article Cohesion Fund. The implementation of programmes is reaching cruising speed in 2010, and Member States are expected to submit a higher than forecast amount of payment claims before the end of the year Heading 2 Preservation and Management of Natural Resources + EUR 33 million for Animal disease eradication and monitoring programmes and monitoring of the physical conditions of animals that could pose a public health risk linked to an external factor - New measures. In 2009 the commitment appropriations on this budget line were increased by EUR million through an amending budget in order to finance vaccination campaigns against blue tongue. Payment appropriations were not increased at that time as the reimbursement to the Member States takes place in the year following the execution of the programmes. These reimbursements now need to be made. + EUR 26 million for Emergency fund for veterinary complaints and other animal contaminations which are a risk to public health - New measures. For the Emergency funds, claims above EUR 2 million are submitted to an ex ante audit by the Commission services before a payment can be made. It is very difficult to determine the duration of these audits, and thus the date of payment of the claims received, as this depends on the size and complexity of the files received, the organisation of the Member States, the length of the discussions between Commission services and the Member States, etc. For these reasons, the amount requested in the 2010 draft budget was kept at a conservative level. However, now that the full needs for 2010 are known, reinforcement is requested. + EUR 22 million for LIFE+ (Financial Instrument for the Environment to 2013). Taking into account the recommendations of the Court of Auditors (2008 report), and building on the development of IT tools for the processing and evaluation of proposals received, it was possible to accelerate the whole procedure for the LIFE call, and the grant agreements have been signed in the summer of 2010, i.e. three months earlier than foreseen. The reinforcement is requested to address the pre-financing needs related to this call. EN 3 EN

4 2.1.4 Heading 4 EU as a Global Player + EUR million for European Neighbourhood and Partnership financial cooperation with Eastern Europe. Since the coming into force of the ENPI regulation, the move towards an increased use of budget support has brought considerable advantages in terms of quality and continuity of the policy dialogue between the Commission and each beneficiary country, as well as in terms of rapidity of disbursement and simplification of administrative procedures. This has a positive impact on the disbursement rate of the programmes which has materialized more rapidly than anticipated. Part of the necessary reinforcement (EUR 21.9 million) can be achieved by internal re-deployment within chapter The remaining amount of EUR million is requested through the Global Transfer. + EUR 48.7 million for Macro-economic assistance (budget article ). Macro Financial Assistance (MFA) is a short term crisis instrument aiming at addressing urgent and exceptional external financing needs. Some degree of uncertainty is inevitable both on the scheduling of commitments for new operations and on the rhythm of payment under existing operations which is linked to the satisfactory implementation of the economic programme supported by the IMF, as well as the fulfilment of EU specific conditions. It is estimated that the initial budget for 2010 of EUR 90 million in payment appropriations needs to be reinforced to meet total needs by the end of the year of EUR million. + EUR 38 million for Conflict resolution and other stabilisation measures. The missions financed on this budget line (EULEX Kosovo, EUJUST LEX Iraq and EUSEC DR Congo) are spending their budgets at a faster rate than forecasted due to a better budgeting and follow-up of spending. + EUR 32 million for Non-State actors in development (budget article ). In its Communication Streamlining financial rules and accelerating budget implementation to help economic recovery SEC (2009) 477 final, of 8 April 2009, the Commission announced measures to speed up budget implementation. Among these was the possibility to launch calls for proposals covering two years and a new procedure that allows the release of the first advance payment on the basis of the signed contract, without the presentation of a payment request as well as accelerated procedures reducing considerably the overall time span in the grant awarding procedures. These measures have had the desired effect, and have led to the faster conclusion of contracts, and accelerated implementation, reporting and invoicing. + EUR 18.9 million for Police missions. The main missions financed on this budget line EUPOL Afghanistan, EUPOL Democratic Republic of Congo, EUPM Bosnia and Herzegovina and EUPOL COPPS (EU Police Mission in the Palestinian Territories) are spending their budgets at a faster rate than forecasted due to better budgeting and follow-up of spending. The build-up of mission structure and the corresponding execution of expenditure by the Heads of Mission have taken place more smoothly and swiftly than initially estimated, in particular for the purchase of equipment. + EUR 12 million for budget article Adjustment support for sugar protocol countries. This budget article was created in In the first years, the rate of implementation was slow. However, disbursement rates have now increased considerably, with budget support granted to Mauritius and to Trinidad and Tobago. A revision of the forecasts at the start of September has shown that the available payment appropriations for the rest of 2010 are insufficient. + EUR 10 million for Relations with South Africa (budget article ). There has been a shift in the type of management mode from implementation through traditional projects to implementation by budget support. This management mode has led to acceleration in the implementation of payments, and the forecasts previously based on historical movements underestimate the actual payment needs. EN 4 EN

5 2.2 Reductions The transfer request proposes to reduce the level of payment appropriations for 44 budget lines. The main lines affected (i.e. for which changes are above EUR 10 million), by heading and decreasing size of the reduction, are the following: Heading 1a Competitiveness for Growth and Employment - EUR 58.4 million from budget article Cooperation - Health - Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) Joint Undertaking. On 16 March 2010 the Board of Directors the JTI adopted an amendment to its 2010 budget, taking into account the calendar for its second call for proposals (IMI - CALL ) launched by the JTI on 27 November The signature of grant agreements related to this call will be shifted due to the redefinition of the science priorities. It is expected that the first nine contracts related to this call will only be committed in late 2010, and as such there will be a substantial reduction in the amount of pre-financing to be paid from the 2010 budget. - EUR 46.6 million from Completion of the sixth EC Framework Programme (2003 to 2006). Payments from this budget item are based on reports submitted by the recipients and depend on the quality of reporting and the state of advancement of research projects. The reduction in needs is mainly due to the "Health" programmes (up to EUR 29 million) and international cooperation (EUR 8 million). - EUR 33 million from Energy projects to aid economic recovery - European Offshore wind grid system. When the initial estimate of payment appropriations was made the projects had not yet been negotiated. In the case of five projects the beneficiaries have waived the right to prefinancing for reasons related to bank guarantees to be provided. This will not effect the overall implementation of the Recovery Plan. - EUR 22 million from Energy projects to aid economic recovery - Energy networks. Some beneficiaries have not asked for pre-financing for reasons related to bank guarantees, environmental permits or formal decisions to invest. This will not effect the overall implementation of the Recovery Plan. - EUR 11.5 million from SESAR Joint Undertaking. Following the evaluation of technical bids of IBAFO II (Invitation to Submit a Best and Final Binding Offer), the technical activities that are performed by members of the SESAR Joint Initiative (industry, providers of air navigation services, manufacturing etc.) can only begin in part in It follows that the prefinancing the SESAR Joint Initiative will make to its members will also be staggered. - EUR 11 million from Decommissioning of nuclear installations and waste management. The main grounds for the delays in payments are technical issues linked to the implementation of the Decommissioning and Waste Management (D&WM) Programme, mainly relating to authorisation processes with governmental authorities for the nuclear waste management. Delays in the licensing processes (e.g. transport of nuclear waste, building permits for decommissioning facilities, etc.) have obliged the JRC to renegotiate the corresponding contracts, and as a consequence the annual payment forecast could not be respected Heading 2 Preservation and Management of Natural Resources - EUR million from rural development (budget item ). The evolution of payments in 2010 shows an implementation level lower than expected even though the payments made have significantly increased in comparison to The analysis of the situation, based on a revised forecast submitted by Member States in September 2010, shows that the payment needs for the rest of the year are below the available appropriations. - EUR 13.9 million from Completion of Leader (2000 to 2006). The closure of LEADER+ has started in 2010 as expected. However, contrary to the initial plans, the payments to be made will be below the appropriations available for the year. - EUR 13.3 million from Transitional instrument for the financing of rural development by the EAGGF Guarantee Section for the new Member States - Completion of programmes (2004 to 2006). It is expected that the closure of seven outstanding programmes will take place in According to the latest calculations, the final payment amount will be slightly below the appropriations available in the budget Heading 3a Freedom, Security and Justice EN 5 EN

6 - EUR 16.2 million from article Prevention of and fight against crime, due in large part to a lower than expected response to the targeted calls for proposals in The submitted applications constituted only 75 % of the available budget Heading 3b Citizenship - EUR 27.5 million from article Transition facility for new Member States. The contracted amounts in Bulgaria were lower than initially foreseen. This was partially the result of the withdrawal of Extended Decentralisation Implementation System (EDIS) accreditation of the Central Finance and Contracting Unit which implements the Transition Facility Programme For Romania the initial forecast could not be achieved because of slow contracting due to the late submission of the tender documents by the Implementing Authorities Heading 4 EU as a Global Player - EUR million from budget item Instrument for structural policies for preaccession - Closure of pre-accession assistance, relating to eight applicant countries. A reinforcement of payment appropriations in the course of 2009, covered the needs for the outstanding commitments (reste à liquider - RAL), which had been included in the 2010 budget request. Furthermore, very few payments are expected to occur in 2010, and so it is proposed to further reduce the level of payment appropriations. - EUR 62.8 million from Cooperation with developing countries in Asia. The reduction is the result of a series of amounts related to programmes in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The full explanation of the situation in each case is set out in the annex. - EUR 39.1 million from the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance for Rural Development (IPARD) (budget article ). In order to benefit from IPARD candidate countries have to set up the necessary structures and procedures in order to guarantee that IPARD funds can be managed in such a way as to fulfil the European standards. However, the conferral of management to Turkey has not yet been completed, and so advance payments could only be made to Croatia and FYROM. - EUR 19.8 million from Cooperation with developing countries in Latin America. The unstable political situation in Nicaragua (among the main recipients of EU aid in Latin America) has led to the suspension of payments for budget support, decreasing the forecasted payment execution for the budget line. Furthermore, and despite taking measures to accelerate disbursement, a slower pace of implementation has been recorded in other Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Venezuela). - EUR 19 million from Aid for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Afghanistan. The payment for the contribution to the Mine Action Programme was realised from payment appropriations that have become available through recovery orders; this has generated an unforeseen surplus of EUR 12 million. Support to the Afghan Public Health and Nutrition Sector has been affected by contracting delays and, in the case of the Khanabad Irrigation Scheme, deteriorating security has hampered the implementation of works.

7 3. Proposed transfers All proposed transfers, either for an increase or reduction in appropriations, are summarised in the Summary Table in budget nomenclature order. The table indicates: the initial budget appropriations, including amending budgets as of 20 September 2010; transfers as of 20 September 2010; the implementation as of 20 September 2010; the total remaining available appropriations; proposed transfers (increase or reduction); percentage change, compared to the initial budget (including any amending budgets); short justifications for the proposed transfers. For reductions or reinforcements representing less than 10% of the authorised appropriations on the budget line one of the following standard justifications applies: - Implementation faster than expected; - Implementation slower than expected; - Non-implementation of scheduled advance payments; - Commitment appropriations not matched by sufficient payment appropriations; - Increased absorption of payments which were delayed in the previous year. For reinforcements and justifications representing more than 10% of the authorised appropriations on the budget line more detailed justifications are provided. EN 7 EN
