Amending budget 3/2013: surplus from the budget year 2012

2013/2070(BUD)

PURPOSE: presentation of the Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 3/2013 which is intended to budget the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2012.

CONTENT: the present Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 3/2013 seeks to budget the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2012. As provided for in the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the Union, it is the only subject of this DAB and it has to be submitted within 15 days following the submission of the provisional accounts, which took place at end March 2013.

Surplus: the implementation of the budget year 2012 shows a surplus of EUR 1 023 276 525.93 (not including contributions from European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and European Economic Area (EEA)), which is therefore entered as revenue in the 2013 budget.

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 :

  • Traditional Own Resources (TOR),
  • Value Added Tax (VAT),
  • Gross National Income (GNI))

including the updated amount of the UK correction which will be available after the Advisory Committee on Own Resources (ACOR) meeting in May 2013.
