Amending budget 4/2008: surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget 2007

2008/2094(BUD)

PURPOSE: to present the preliminary draft amending budget No 4 (PDAB) to the general budget 2008 of the European Union, in order to budget the surplus from 2007.

CONTENT: the present Preliminary Draft Amending Budget No 4/2008 is intended to budget the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2007.

This surplus is the only subject of this PDAB and amounts to EUR 1 528 833 290 (excluding the net balance with EFTA-EEA), which is therefore entered as revenue in the 2008 budget.

The registering of the surplus can be analysed as follows:

  • Revenue for the financial year: EUR 117 562 980 129.91;
  • Payments against current year appropriations: EUR -113 027 971 812.19;
  • Payment appropriations carried over to year N+1: EUR -3 114 011 336.73;
  • EFTA appropriations carried over from year N-1: EUR -2 103 751.46;
  • Cancellation of unused appropriations carried over from year N-1: EUR 246 263 210.47;
  • Exchange differences for the year: EUR -123 510 791.35;
  • Budget outturn 2007: EUR 1 541 645 648.65.

The budgeting of the surplus will diminish accordingly the global contribution of the Member States to the financing of the EU Budget. This global decrease by Member State will also be influenced by the updated own resources forecast (TOR, VAT and GNI) including the updated amount of the UK correction.
