On 16 April 2009, the Commission submitted to the Council preliminary draft amending budget (PDAB) No. 5 to the general budget for 2009 concerning the budgeting of the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2008.

The implementation of the budget year 2008 shows a surplus of EUR 1 796 151 821 resulting from:

a) an over-registering in revenue (+ EUR 5 613 960 482.55) divided by Title as follows:

  1. Own resources: + EUR 326 117 029.94
  2. Surpluses, balances and adjustments: + EUR 14 192 368.45
  3. Revenue accruing from persons working with the institutions and with other Community bodies: - EUR 51 814 293.59
  4. Revenue accruing from the administrative operation of the institutions: + EUR 271 768 472.49
  5. Contributions and refunds in connection with Community agreements and programmes: + EUR 5 008 556 818.43
  6. Interest on late payment and fines: + EUR 28 482 577.62
  7. Borrowing and lending operations: + EUR 7 838 804.12
  8. Miscellaneous revenue: + EUR 8 818 705.09

b) an under-spending of payment appropriations (- EUR 3 320 097 225.84) divided by heading of the Financial Framework as follows:

  1. Sustainable Growth: + EUR 243 334 299.77
  2. Preservation and Management of Natural Resources: - EUR 3 908 317 870.85
  3. Citizenship, Freedom, Security and Justice: + EUR 91 467 907.90
  4. The EU as a Global Partner: + EUR 247 161 206.30
  5. Administration (All Institutions): + EUR 6 257 177.04

c) a negative balance of monetary exchange (- EUR 497 711 435.90).

The budgeting of this surplus will diminish accordingly the global contribution of the Member States to the financing of the EU budget.

On 27 April 2009, the Council established draft amending budget No. 5 for the financial year 2009, as submitted by the Commission in its preliminary draft amending budget No. 5 and as set out in the technical annex to this explanatory memorandum of the Council’s draft budget (see Council doc. 9127/09 ADD 1).
