On 15 April 2011, the Commission submitted to the Council draft amending budget (DAB) No 3 to the general budget for 2011 concerning the budgeting of the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2010.

The implementation of the budget year 2010 shows a surplus of EUR 4 539 394 282.77, resulting from:

a) an over-registering in revenue (+ EUR 1 800 893 694.72) divided by Title as follows:

  • Own resources: + EUR 598 511 630.16
  • Surpluses, balances and adjustments: - EUR 793 598 435.03
  • Revenue accruing from persons working with the institutions and with other Union bodies: - EUR 57 634 099.68
  • Revenue accruing from the administrative operation of the institutions: + EUR 174 790 065.27
  • Contributions and refunds in connection with EU/Community agreements and programmes: + EUR 588 234 734.47
  • Interest on late payment and fines: + EUR 1 284 563 930.33
  • Borrowing and lending operations: + EUR 0.00
  • Miscellaneous revenue: + EUR 6 025 869.20

b) an under-spending of payment appropriations (+ EUR 2 716 168 645.59) divided by heading of the financial framework as follows:

  • Sustainable growth: + EUR 1 366 617 606.92
  • Preservation and management of natural resources: + EUR 601 493 352.24
  • Citizenship, freedom, security and justice: + EUR 43 907 829.32
  • The EU as a global player: + EUR 499 531 162.03
  • Administration (All Institutions): + EUR 204 618 695.08.

c) a positive balance of monetary exchange (+ EUR 22 331 942.47).

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

In conclusion, on 16 June 2011, the Council adopted its position on draft amending budget No 3 of the European Union for the financial year 2011 as set out in the technical annex to this Draft amending budget (see Council doc. 11630/11).
