EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.Introduction

The purpose of Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 6 for the year 2021 is to provide additional appropriations to speed up global vaccinations, cover activations under the Union Civil Protection Mechanism and expenditure arising from external fisheries agreements, as well as some adjustments to expenditure and revenue.

In particular, it covers the following elements:

·reinforcement of the Neighbourhood Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe 9 for an amount of EUR 450 million in commitment and in payment appropriations in the context of the COVID-19 global health response to donate 200 million Covid-19 vaccine doses to low and lower-middle income countries by the middle of next year;

·reinforcement of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM/rescEU) 10 for an amount of EUR 57,8 million in commitment appropriations to provide additional funding to cover new emergencies including repatriation flights from Afghanistan, the response in Haiti following the recent earthquake and outstanding operations including forest fires whose costs exceed the existing availablities until the end of the year;

·increase of the level of commitment appropriations on the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreements (SFPA) budget line for an amount of EUR 3,5 million considering the updated budget needs following the conclusion of the negotiations on the new protocols with Cook Islands and Mauritania;

·adjustment of the budgetary nomenclature following specific Member States requests to transfer resources pursuant to Article 26 of the Common Provisions Regulation (CPR) 11 ;

·update of the revenue side of the budget to take account of the revised estimates of own resource based on non-recycled plastic packaging waste.

Overall, the net impact of this DAB on expenditure amounts to an increase of EUR 473,5 million in commitment appropriations. No additional payment appropriations are requested.

2.Global COVID-19 Vaccines

Given that less than 1% of global doses of vaccine for COVID-19 have been administered in low and lower-middle income countries, there is a clear and pressing need to speed up global vaccinations. The EU has already committed to share 250 million doses. In order to provide an additional 200 million doses to low and lower-middle income countries, EUR 1,3 billion will need to be mobilised. This is proposed to be financed notably via the remaining amounts in the Emergency Support Instrument and a transfer from the Neighbourhood Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe (NDICI-GE) cushion. In order to complement these two contributions and reach the EUR 1,3 billion and considering there is no margin left in Heading 6 and no further possibilities for redeployments have been identified, the Commission proposes to mobilise EUR 450 million in commitment and payment appropriations from the Flexibility Instrument 12 . This will enable immediate action to roll out another 200 million vaccine doses in the first half of 2022.

The payment appropriations can be offset by a corresponding reduction of the “Rural development types of interventions — 2014-2022 programmes” under the EAFRD. This reduction is justified by the COVID-19 EAFRD lump-sum payments to farmers and food processing SMEs below the maximum threshold of 2% of the EAFRD allocations for the majority of the programmes that applied for it. In addition, the late adoption of the prolongation of the rural development programmes under the CAP Transitional Regulation has also resulted in lower payments on the 2021 EAFRD allocation. Based on the declarations of expenditure received so far and on an analysis of Member States' most recent forecasts submitted by the end of August 2021, the surplus identified amounts to EUR 617 million. The part of this surplus which is not included in this DAB (EUR 167 million) is included in the Global transfer (DEC 20/2021).

3.Reinforcement of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM/rescEU)

Following another semester of exceptional number of requests for assistance under the UCPM due to Covid-19, including one of the biggest operation in the history of the UCPM for the benefit of India and Nepal, UCPM/rescEU has been activated over the summer for evacuations from Afghanistan, operations in Haiti following the recent earthquake and fighting forest fires and consequences of floods in Europe. Additionally, activations are expected before the end of the year following the tropical cyclones season in the Latin-American region and in the Pacific. In 2021, the number of requests for assistance to the UCPM is expected to surpass the exceptional level of 2020 (102 requests that year). In total, as of 29 September 2021, 91 requests for assistance have been submitted to the UCPM. Overall, ensuring an appropriate response under the UCPM will require additional commitment appropriations estimated at EUR 57,8 million. The current level of available payment appropriations is sufficient to fulfil payment obligations until the end of the year.

Given that two sources of redeployment have been identified in the current budget, it is proposed to finance EUR 37,8 million of the additional need by a redeployment of respectively EUR 20 million in commitment appropriations from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and EUR 17,8 million in commitment appropriations from the Union contribution to the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

The ECDC was reinforced in amending budget 1/2021 for three specific COVID-19 response related activities for a total amount of EUR 106 million in 2021 commitment and payment appropriations:

·outsourced whole genome sequencing for which EUR 12 million are now returned by the agency, due to a lower sequencing rate;

·national infrastructure support for which EUR 6 million are returned as a result of a lower interest from Member States and EEA countries;

·and cross-border capacity-building support for which EUR 2 million is returned as a result of the on-going procurement.

The ECDC managed to implement EUR 86 million in commitments and payments and has signalled a surplus in 2021 of EUR 20 million. The corresponding payments are made available in the Global transfer. EUR 10 million will still be needed and will be proposed to be made available again in 2022.

The EMA has identified a surplus of EUR 17,8 million in commitment and payment appropriations. This results from IT developments and investments related to EMA’s new mandate. The agency has started and progressed well on the detailed specifications for the IT developments related to the new tasks, but will not be in a position to make all the budgetary commitments already in 2021. The EUR 17,8 million will be proposed to be made available again in 2022 - 2023.

The corresponding payments are made available in the Global transfer.

Considering the redeployments as detailed above, there is an additional need for funding in 2021 of EUR 20 million. Given the absence of a margin in Sub-heading 2b, it is proposed to mobilise the Flexibility instrument for this reinforcement.

4.Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreements (SFPAs)

The Commission has reviewed the overall budget needs for 2021, taking into account:

·the conclusion of the negotiations with Cook Islands and Mauritania of the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreements (SFPAs),

·the corresponding agreements and protocols are expected to enter into provisional application mid-November 2021;

·the delayed signature of some protocols (Kiribati, Madagascar, Liberia, all postponed to 2022-2023); and

·the savings made on the agreements with Greenland and Gabon that were signed for an annual fee lower than initially forecast.

The combined impact results in an additional need for around EUR 3,5 million in commitment appropriations, proposed to be taken from the margin under Heading 3.

Considering the Council decision for both agreements is adopted in October and will be in force at the time of the adoption of this DAB, the appropriations are proposed to be inscribed directly on the main operational line.

5.Application articles 14 and 26 CPR and impact on the nomenclature structure

Article 26 CPR for the 2021-27 period foresees that Member States may request in the Partnership Agreement or in a request for an amendment of a programme to transfer of up to 5% of the initial national allocation of each Fund to any other instrument under direct or indirect management, or Funds under shared management. A similar possibility is foreseen in Article 14 in relation to transfers in the Partnership Agreement of up to 2% of the initial allocation from ERDF, ESF+, CF and EMFAF to InvestEU.

The programming exercise is ongoing and several Member States have already requested or indicated their intention to use the provisions of Articles 14 and 26 and make such transfers of resources. In order to implement these requests and respect the MFF ceilings and in line with the approach taken for the transfers from ERDF and ESF+ to the JTF and from CF to the Connecting Europe Facility, the Commission proposes creating 18 new budget lines within the relevant programmes (without appropriations) as follows:

6.Update of the revenue side of the budget to include the updated forecast for the plastics-based own resource

ORD 2020 was ratified by all Member States on 31 May 2021 and as a consequence entered into force on 1 June 2021. ORD 2020 has established a new own resource based on non-recycled plastic packaging waste. The Commission proposed to implement the impact of the ORD 2020 in DAB 4.

Non-recycled plastic packaging waste results from the difference between plastic packaging waste and the recycled quantity thereof. The forecast of plastic packaging waste used by the Commission is based on the following method: the annual growth rates of GNI in constant prices for 2017/2018-2021 according to the latest available Commission economic forecast are applied to the latest outturn data for plastic packaging waste.

Member States’ recycling rates are assumed to follow a linear convergence path between the recycling rate based on the latest available outturn data (2017/2018) and the EU recycling target of 50 % to be met by 2025. The increase of recycling rates is capped at 2 percentage points per year to ensure a realistic convergence path. The recycling rate of Member States having already reached or surpassed the target in 2017/2018 is kept constant.

Based on this method and including updated forecast bases provided by Luxembourg, Portugal and Romania, the forecast for all Member States was agreed in the 181st Advisory Committee on Own Resources (ACOR) meeting on 26 May 2021 and included in the DAB 4.

In application of Article 15 of the Making Available Regulation for the plastics-based own resource (‘MAR2’) 13 , Member States were invited to send to the Commission their updated forecasts on the volume of non-recycled plastic packaging waste by 31 July 2021.

The Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Croatia, Italy, Hungary, Austria and Slovakia sent their updated forecasts of non-recycled plastic packaging waste for 2021 and 2022. Belgium, Bulgaria, Poland and Sweden confirmed the forecast bases agreed during the ACOR meeting on 26 May 2021. The remaining Member States did not send updated forecasts of non-recycled plastic packaging waste for 2021 and 2022.

In this context and as an exception from the annual ACOR forecasting procedure that takes place once a year in May, the Commission agreed with all Member States in the ACOR of September an updated set of forecasts for 2021 and 2022 for the non-recycled plastics-based own resource only.

Compared to the results of the ACOR in May the updated forecast results in changes for several Member States. It leads to an overall increase of the non-recycled plastic packaging waste own resource of EUR 20 million. The GNI resources will be adjusted downwards by the same amount.

7.Adaptation of budgetary remarks for the European Development Fund

The Commission proposes to modify the budget remark for the budget article 16 01 05 – Support expenditure for the European Development Fund.

This budget line is used to pay the common costs of Commission staff in EU Delegations. In addition, in order to cater for the phasing out of activities under the previous African Peace Facility (APF), part of the European Development Fund (EDF), the Commission proposes to adjust the budgetary remarks to provide that some limited (and decreasing, from 4 in 2021 to 0 in 2025) number of staff at Headquarters will also be covered under this line for the period 2021-2024 to ensure the transition to the new off-budget European Peace Facility (EPF). The updated budget remark is set out in the budgetary annex.

8.Financing

Overall, the net impact of this DAB on expenditure amounts to an increase of EUR 473,5 million in commitment appropriations. No additional payment appropriations are requested.

Given the absence of margins and room for redeployment under Sub-heading 2b and Heading 6 of the MFF, the Commission proposes to mobilise the Flexibility Instrument in line with Article 12 of the MFF Regulation in commitment appropriations for an amount of EUR 20 million for Sub-heading 2b Resilience and Values to reinforce the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM/rescEU) and EUR 450 million for Heading 6 Neighbourhood and the World to reinforce the NDICI-GE to provide financing for additional vaccines to low income countries.

The 2021 payment appropriations related to the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 amount to EUR 1 286,7 million. The estimated payment schedule of the related outstanding amounts for these years is detailed in the following table:
