Amending budget 2/2016: surplus of the financial year 2015
2016/2051(BUD)
On 15 April 2016, the Commission submitted to the Council draft amending budget (DAB) No 2 to the general budget for 2016 concerning the budgeting of the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2015.
To recall, the implementation of the budget year 2015 shows a surplus of EUR 1 349 116 813.74 resulting from:
- an over-registering in revenue (+ EUR 980 million),
- an under-spending of payment appropriations (+ EUR 187 million),
- a positive balance of monetary exchange (+ EUR 182 million).
The budgeting of this surplus will diminish accordingly the global contribution of Member States to the financing of the EU budget.
On 17 June 2016, the Council adopted its position on DAB No 2 to the general budget for 2016 as set out in the technical annex to its position on the DAB 2/2016.
