Amending budget 2/2014: surplus from the budget year 2013

2014/2035(BUD)

On 15 April 2014, the Commission submitted to the Council draft amending budget (DAB) No 2 to the general budget for 2014 concerning the budgeting of the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2013.

The implementation of the budget year 2013 shows a surplus of EUR 1 005 406 925.37 resulting from:

a) an over-registering in revenue (+ EUR 771 million) divided by title as follows:

  • Title 1 (Own resources): - EUR 226 million,
  • Title 3 (Surpluses, balances and adjustments): - EUR 360 million,
  • Title 7 (Interest on late payments and fines): + EUR 1 331 million,
  • Other titles: + EUR 26 million.

b) an under-spending of payment appropriations (+ EUR 276 million), of which:

  • appropriations authorised in the 2013 budget (Commission):+ EUR 107 million,
  • appropriations carried over from 2012 (Commission): + EUR 54 million,
  • un-mobilised reserves in 2013: + EUR 1 million,
  • appropriations authorised in 2013 and carried over from 2012 (other Institutions): + EUR 114 million.

c) a negative balance of monetary exchange (- EUR 42 million).

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

On 14 July 2014, the Council adopted its position on DAB No 2/2014, as set out in the technical annex to the explanatory memorandum of its position on the draft amending budget (12300/14 ADD 1).
