Amending budget 4/2021: update of revenue; revised forecast of own resources and other revenue

The Council adopted its position on draft amending budget (DAB) No 4 to the general budget 2021 as set out in the technical annex to its explanatory memorandum.

As a reminder, on 2 July 2021, the Commission submitted to the Council draft amending budget (DAB) No 4 to the general budget for 2021.

The purpose of this draft is to update the revenue side of the budget to take account of recent developments:

- the entry into force on 1 June 2021 of Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 on the system of the European Union's own resources, applicable since 1 January 2021;

- the updated forecast of own resources for the 2021 budget, approved by the Advisory Committee on Own Resources (ACOR) on 26 May 2021;

- the update of other revenues such as the UK contribution, fines and others.

The total budgetary revenue of the EU amounts to EUR 170 557 881 854 (+ 3.93 compared to the 2020 budget).
