PURPOSE: presentation of a Draft Amending Budget (DAB)
No 6 to the General Budget of the European Union for the year
2015.
CONTENT: Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 6 for the year
2015 covers the following:
- a revision of the forecast of Traditional Own
Resources (TOR, i.e. customs duties and sugar sector levies), VAT
and GNI bases, the budgeting of the relevant UK corrections as well
as their financing resulting in a change in the distribution
between Member States of their own resources contributions to the
EU budget;
- the creation of two new budget items 21 01 04 08 and
22 01 04 03 — Support expenditure for trust funds managed by
the European Commission. These items are intended to receive
compensation for management costs related to the European Union
trust funds for external action, in accordance with Article 187(7)
of the Financial Regulation;
- an amendment of the establishment plan of the BEREC
Office, without incurring any changes to the overall budget or the
total number of posts. To recall, the BEREC Office was established
in 2009 and is located in Riga (Latvia). Currently, it has a staff
of 15 temporary agents. The proposed amendment of the 2015
establishment plan of the BEREC Office is necessary in order to
allow for the reclassification (promotion) of two administrators
(AD 5) and two assistants (AST 3) temporary posts in 2015. The
overall budget and the total number of posts will remain
unchanged.
In summary, DAB 6/2015 has no consequences for
expenditure in 2015. The impact for revenue is a change in the
distribution between Member States of their own resources
contributions.
