D. When adopting its position on the draft budget for 2011, the Council followed a number

of guidelines:

1. GENERALLY

(a) The Council's position on the draft budget for 2011:

- shows due regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006

on budgetary discipline and sound financial management;

- is within the framework of the budget guidelines established for the

2011 budget in the Council conclusions adopted in March 20101.

(b) Particular care was taken:

- to follow an approach leading to a budget that is realistic and

comprehensively balanced, complying with budgetary discipline and

sound financial management. While recognising the efforts already

made by the Commission in its draft budget, the need of additional

efforts was underlined;

- to provide adequate funding for the European Union's various

priorities, determining appropriations on the basis of the budget

implementation rate in 2009, budget forecast alerts in 2010, realistic

absorption capacities and performance information provided in the

activity statements. This approach was also followed with regard to

allocations for administrative expenditure arising from operational

programmes and the expenditure of the executive agencies responsible

for their management;

1 6794/10 FIN 66.


- to ensure a limited and controlled growth of payment appropriations in

comparison with 2010 under all headings and sub-headings of the

financial framework, adjusting the amounts on the basis of an analysis

of the 2009 budget implementation and the 2010 budget forecast

alerts. This approach should be seen in the context of the budgetary

constraints applied in all Member States.

The Council approved the following declaration on payment

appropriations:

"The Council asks the Commission to submit an amending budget if the appropriations entered in the 2011 budget are insufficient to cover expenditure under sub-heading 1a(Competitiveness for growth and employment), sub-heading 1b (Cohesion for growth and employment), heading 2 (Preservation and management of natural resources) and heading 4 (EU as a global player)."

It also approved the following declaration on a specific procedure

regarding payment appropriations under sub-heading 1b:

"The Council urges the Commission to present by the end of September 2011 at the latest updated figures concerning the state of affairs and estimates regarding payment appropriations under sub-heading 1b (Cohesion for growth and employment) and, if necessary, to present a draft amending budget for this sole purpose.

The Council will take position on the draft amending budget as quickly as possible in order to avoid any shortfall in payment appropriations."

- to apply for decentralised agencies a similar approach as for the

administrative expenditure of the institutions (see point II.D.3.e.(iii)

below);


- to leave adequate margins under the ceilings of the headings and sub-

headings of the financial framework, with the exception of sub-

heading 1b, in order to be able to cope with unforeseen situations,

while respecting the amounts in commitment appropriations proposed

by the Commission regarding co-decided programmes.

2. IN OTHER GENERAL RESPECTS

(a) Nomenclature

The Council retained the nomenclature proposed in the DB.

(c) Preparatory actions, pilot projects and legal bases

Special care was taken to comply with the provisions of the

Interinstitutional Agreement as regards legal bases.

The Council created a new budget line for the preparatory action for the

preservation of commemorative sites in Europe.

(d) Activity statements

A particular attention was given to activity statements. Specific meetings

were organised with the Commission services in order to allow an in-depth

dialogue with delegations.

These activity statements were an element in the decision making process

aiming at setting the appropriate level of appropriations to be entered in the

draft budget for 2011. Specific attention was given to performance

information provided in the activity statements to assess if the budget

request of the Commission was sufficiently justified.


The Commission services were invited to continue to improve the content of

the activity statements when drafting them in the context of future budgetary

procedures.

3. EXPENDITURE BY HEADING OF THE FINANCIAL FRAMEWORK

As to expenditure under the different headings of the financial framework the

Council's position leads to:

(a) in the case of expenditure for sustainable growth (heading 1 of the

Financial Framework):

(i) as regards competitiveness for growth and employment expenditure

(sub-heading 1a of the financial framework)

- establish the level of commitment appropriations, targeting a

total reduction of EUR 46.55 million in the appropriations

requested in the DB in respect of a number of specific budget

lines under this heading, on the basis of past and current budget

implementation and realistic absorption capacities;

- fix the level of the appropriations for subsidies for decentralised

agencies, reducing the appropriations requested in the DB by a

total of EUR 3.04 million as a result of the approach followed

for these agencies. A total of 184 temporary posts for new

agencies and agencies in charge of new tasks were accepted;


- set the level of payment appropriations, targeting a total

reduction of EUR 891.14 million in the appropriations requested

in the DB of which EUR 62.40 million in the field of

competitiveness, EUR 121.80 million in the field of transports,

EUR 545.97 million in the field of research, EUR 50 million on

the budget line for the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund

and EUR 110.97 million on various other budget lines, on the

basis of an analysis of the 2009 budget implementation and the

2010 budget forecast alerts.

The Council also approved a declaration on payment

appropriations (see point II.D.1.b above).

- the margin available under sub-heading 1a would be

EUR 96.70 million.

(ii) concerning cohesion for growth and employment expenditure (sub-heading 1b of the financial framework)

- accept the DB as regards commitment appropriations;

- set the level of payment appropriations, reducing the

appropriations requested in the DB by a total of

EUR 1 075 million while resulting in an increase of 13.97 % in

comparison with 2010;

This amount represents a reduction in payment appropriations

concentrated in the field of the European Regional Development

Fund (EUR 386 million), the European Social Fund

(EUR 129 million), and the completion of the former

programmes (EUR 560 million), representing a correction in

budgeting on the basis of the available information.


The Council also approved declarations on payment

appropriations and on a specific procedure regarding payment

appropriations under sub-heading 1b (see point II.D.1.b above).

- the margin available under sub-heading 1b would be

EUR 16.91 million.

(b) regarding expenditure for preservation and management of natural resources (heading 2 of the financial framework)

- a total reduction of EUR 474.64 million in commitment appropriations

requested in the DB, of which EUR 38.75 million in the field of

interventions in agricultural markets, EUR 420 million on the budget

line for clearance of accounts and EUR 15.89 million on various other

budget lines, on the basis of past and current budget implementation

and taking into account the available information related to some

specific agricultural areas;


agencies, reducing the appropriations requested in the DB by a total of

EUR 0.46 million in commitments and EUR 0.31 million in payments

as a result of the approach followed for these agencies. One temporary

post was accepted;

- set the level of payment appropriations, reducing the appropriations

requested in the DB by a total of EUR 820.71 million, of which

EUR 38.75 million in the field of interventions in agricultural markets,

EUR 420 million on the budget line for clearance of accounts,

EUR 143 million in the field of Rural development,

EUR 142.90 million in the field of European Fisheries Fund and

EUR 76.06 million on various other budget lines, on the basis of past

and current budget implementation.


These amounts estimated on the basis of past budget implementation

and available information may be reviewed in the light of the Autumn

letter of amendment.

The Council also approved a declaration on payment appropriations

(see point II.D.1.b above).

- the margin available under heading 2 would be EUR 1 326.40 million.

(c) in the case of expenditure relating to citizenship, freedom, security and

justice (heading 3 of the financial framework)

(i) for freedom, security and justice expenditure (sub-heading 3a of the

financial framework)

- set the level of commitment appropriations, reducing by a total

of EUR 10.91 million commitment appropriations requested in

the DB in respect of a number of specific budget lines under this

heading, on the basis of past and current budget implementation;



total of EUR 8.36 million as a result of the approach followed

for these agencies. A total of 90 temporary posts were accepted;

- set the level of payment appropriations, targeting a total

reduction of EUR 49.61 million in the appropriations requested

in the DB on a number of budget lines on the basis of an

analysis of the 2009 budget implementation and the 2010 budget

forecast alerts;

- the margin available under sub-heading 3a would be

EUR 81.66 million.


(ii) as regards citizenship expenditure (sub-heading 3b of the financial

framework)

- set the level of commitment appropriations, increasing by a total

of EUR 0.16 million the commitment appropriations requested

in the DB. This increase was the result on the one hand of slight

reductions in respect of a number of specific budget lines under

this heading on the basis of past and current budget

implementation and on realistic absorption capacities and on the

other hand of an increase of EUR 4 million for the financing of a

preparatory action for the preservation of commemorative sites

in Europe;



total of EUR 1.49 million in commitments as a result of the

approach followed for these agencies;

- set the level of payment appropriations, reducing by a total

amount of EUR 19.30 million the appropriations requested in

the DB in a targeted manner over a series of budget lines, on the

basis of an analysis of the 2009 budget implementation and the

2010 budget forecast alerts;

- the available margin under sub-heading 3b would be

EUR 15.02 million.


(d) in the context of expenditure relating to the EU as a global player

(heading 4 of the financial framework)

- set the level of commitment appropriations, reducing by a total

amount of EUR 93.74 million the commitment appropriations

requested in the DB on a number of specific budget lines under this

heading, on the basis of past and current budget implementation and

on realistic absorption capacities;


agencies, reducing the appropriations requested in the DB by a total of

EUR 0.9 million as a result of the approach followed for these

agencies;

- set the level of payment appropriations, reducing by a total of

EUR 590.90 million the appropriations requested in the DB, of which

on the one hand EUR 387.90 million in a targeted manner over a

series of budget lines, on the basis of an analysis of the 2009 budget

implementation and the 2010 budget forecast alerts, and on the other

hand not retaining the amount proposed in the DB of EUR 203 million

regarding the Emergency Aid Reserve.

The Council also approved a declaration on payment appropriations

(see point II.D.1.b above).

- the margin available under Heading 4 would be EUR 164.07 million

to cover at a later stage additional needs.


(e) regarding administrative expenditure (heading 5 of the financial framework)

(i) - limit the global increase of the administrative expenditure of the

EU institutions, in line with the approach followed by the

Member States for their national civil service;

- set the administrative budget of each institution at the

appropriate level, taking into account their specificities and real

and justified needs;

- carry out targeted reductions under certain budgetary lines for

all the institutions, taking into account the 2009 budget outturn

and real needs;

- accept part of the appropriations related to the preparation of the

accession of Croatia, on the basis of an accession in 2012;

- not accept the 1.85 % increase linked to the adjustment of the

2009 salaries included by some institutions in their draft

estimate, pending the decision of the Court of Justice;

- increase the standard flat rate abatement on salaries for most of

the institutions, taking into account their current vacancy rate;

- not accept any new post requested by the institutions with the

exception of the posts for the European Council which is a new

institution;

- accept requested conversions, transformations, upgradings and transfers of posts.


This approach has resulted in a controlled increase of administrative

expenditure while ensuring a proper functioning of the institutions. A

margin of EUR 322.77 million remained available under the ceiling of

heading 5 of the financial framework.

(ii) When examining the administrative budgets, the Council also focused

on administrative expenditure linked to operational programmes and

on administrative expenditure of the executive agencies. In this

respect, it was decided to carry out targeted reductions, in particular

on the basis of the 2009 budget outturn.

(iii) As regards decentralised agencies, the Council applied a similar

approach as for the institutions. Therefore, the increase was limited to

1.5 % compared to 2010 for the agencies at "cruising speed" and to

3 % for the agencies in charge of "new tasks". For the latter, half of

the new posts requested were accepted. For "new agencies", the

requests were accepted without changes, except for the Agency for the

operational management of large scale IT systems in the area of

freedom, security and justice for which appropriations and posts are

foreseen for 6 months.

(g) regarding revenue

- accept the DB subject to the technical adjustments arising from the

changes made to expenditure and staff in the draft budget for 2011.


III. ESTIMATED REVENUE

1. The European Union's total budget revenue amounts to EUR 126 527 133 769,

equivalent to 1.02% of the EU gross national income (GNI)1.

The own resources needed to finance the European Union's draft budget for 2011

represent 1.01% of EU GNI, less than the ceiling of 1.23% of GNI, as arrived at by the

method of calculation in Article 3(1) of Council Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom of

7 June 2007, on the system of the European Communities' own resources2.

The estimates of miscellaneous revenue, dependent on contributions from salaries, and

the related consolidated tables, were adjusted in line with the decisions taken on the

requests for posts by the various institutions.

The revenue to finance the Council's position on the draft budget for 2011 is shown in

the tables below.

1 Rounded figures.2 The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to:

(i) payments made to the 10 new Member States (which joined the EU on 01.05.2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2009, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2007-2009; and

(ii) total allocated expenditure in those Member States, except for agricultural direct payments and market-related expenditure as well as that part of rural development expenditure originating from the EAGGF, Guarantee Section. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

3 The "UK advantage" corresponds to the effects arising for the United Kingdom from the changeover to capped VAT and the introduction of the GNP/GNI-based own resource.

4 These windfall gains correspond to the net gains of the United Kingdom resulting from the increase - from 10 % to 25 % as of 01.01.2001 - in the percentage of traditional own resources retained by Member States to cover the collection costs of traditional own resources (TOR).


According to article 4(2) of Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom, during the period 2007-2013 the

additional contribution of the United Kingdom resulting from the reduction of allocated expenditure

by the expenditure related to enlargement as referred to in paragraph (1)(g) shall not exceed

EUR 10.5 billion, measured in 2004 prices. The corresponding figures are set out in the table below.

2. Net traditional own resources (customs duties and sugar levies) amount to

EUR 16 777.10 million.

3. The Community VAT base amounts to EUR 54 680.82 million for 2011 (at the rate

of 1 %), taking into account the general capping of Member States' GNI base at 50 %,

which has actually had to be applied in the case of the VAT bases of eight Member

States (CY, IE, LT, LU, MT, PL, PT and SI). The uniform rate of VAT own resources is

0.30%. However, in accordance with the Own Resources Decision 2007/436/EC,

Euratom1, entered into force on 1 March 2009, the rate of call for the period 2007-2013

is fixed for Austria at 0.225 %, for Germany at 0.15 % and for the Netherlands and

Sweden at 0.10 %. VAT own resources at the uniform rate thus amount to

EUR 13 786.80 million.

4. The uniform rate of "additional base" own resources resulting from the Council's

position on the draft budget for 2011 is 0.7534 %.

5. Revenue other than own resources (Titles 4 to 9) amounts to EUR 1 467.14 million.

6. In Title 4 (Miscellaneous Community taxes, levies and dues), Articles 4 0 0, 4 0 4 and

4 1 0 have been adjusted on the basis of the decisions taken regarding staff.

1 The implementation of this new Own Resources Decision is regulated by Council Regulation
