Annex

 

Amending letter nr1 to the Draft amending budget n°10 to the budget 2010 - COM(2010) 770 final of 26/11/2010.

The amending letter Nr 1 to the Draft amending budget n°10 covers following elements:

  • In this letter of amendment to the DAB 10/2010, the Commission wants to suppress the reduction of commitment appropriations foreseen in Heading 2 linked to the article 05 02 12 "Milk and milk products" (- EUR 280 million ) and article 05 02 03 "Refunds on non-Annex 1 products" (- EUR 50 million).
    At the completion of the execution 2010 (October 15, 2010), the needs for the EAGF are indeed higher than the available commitment appropriation voted by the Budgetary Authority. All the voted appropriations may hence be consumed as well as some assigned revenue generated in 2010. Assigned revenue generated in 2010 and not consumed in 2010 will be carried over in 2011, lowering therefore 2011 need for voted appropriation.

 Use of budgetary allocations

The Commission publishes a budgetary implementation report every month, which is transmitted to the budgetary authority (Council of the European Union and European Parliament) and to the Court of Auditors. This report describes the evolution of budgetary credits. It includes information amassed at the level of Financial Perspectives, summarizing the data concerning commitment appropriations and payment appropriations.
Budgetary implementation also forms part of the annual financial statement that the Commission must present for control to the Parliament and the Court of Auditors.
