Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 as regards the amounts allocated to the Member States under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

As part of the package on the current Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027, the EU legislator established a Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR) 1 with an allocation of EUR 5 billion (in 2018 prices; EUR 5.5 billion in current prices). The BAR is a temporary, targeted instrument, based on Article 175 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), aiming to provide swift support to Member States to counter the adverse economic, social, territorial and, where appropriate, environmental consequences of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union in Member States, including their regions and local communities, and sectors, in particular in those that have been most adversely affected by the withdrawal, and to mitigate the related negative impact on the economic, social and territorial cohesion. Support from the reserve can be used for national measures specifically taken between January 2020 and December 2023 and having a direct link with the adverse consequences of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the Union. The BAR Regulation came into force on 9 October 2021.

The BAR was conceived and designed at a moment of uncertainty about the scale and speed of Brexit, and the gravity of its impact on Member States. In view of other pressing crises, the possibility of transfers from the BAR to the Recovery and Resilience Facility 2 (RRF) was introduced by the EU co-legislators in the REPowerEU Regulation 3 amending inter alia the RRF and the BAR Regulations. In accordance with that BAR amendment, Member States were to notify the Commission by 1 March 2023 of any intention to transfer part or all of the provisional allocation from the BAR to the REPowerEU chapter of their RRF plan. This possibility enabled Member States to secure the funds in the related investment window of the RRF.

23 out of 27 Member States submitted a reasoned request for transfer of resources from the BAR to their RRF plan, out of which 10 Member States requested a full transfer. The total amount of transfer requests reached EUR 2.1 billion, corresponding to 38% of the total financial envelope. The remaining BAR allocation stood at EUR 3.4 billion, of which EUR 584 million (in current prices) was envisaged to be paid in 2025 upon receipt of documentation attesting to sufficient eligible expenditure.

On 20 June 2023, the Commission adopted a proposal for the mid-term revision of the MFF 4 aiming at reinforcing the EU’s long-term budget to increase the Union’s resilience and leadership in the most urgent priorities and needs, notably strengthening the EU support to Ukraine.

On 29 February 2024, the Council adopted Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/765 amending Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 5 with the consent of the European Parliament for the mid-term revision of the MFF.

According to Article 1(5) of that amendment to Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093, the maximum resources provisionally allocated of the BAR as provided for in Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 were reduced by EUR 584 264 090. This amount corresponds to the outstanding BAR allocation after the pre-financing paid to Member States and the transfers to REPowerEU decided by the Member States.

The maximum resources of the Brexit Adjustment Reserve as provided for in Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 should therefore be reduced. To ensure effective use of the resources already paid to the Member States under the BAR and to avoid jeopardising the implementation of the RRF in the Member States, the reduction should not affect the resources already paid to Member States as pre-financing and the resources which Member States requested to be transferred to the RRF.

2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

•Legal basis

The proposal is based on Article 175 TFEU which is the relevant legal basis for the specific provisions of the Regulations to be amended within the EU Cohesion policy.

While Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 is also based on Article 322(1) TFEU, this proposal does not derogate from the principle of annuality and the carry-over rules, set out in Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council 6 and thus the proposal does not need to refer to that provision of the Treaty as its additional legal basis.

•Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)

This proposal is in line with the subsidiarity principle, as it only affects the budgetary provisions of the Regulation to be amended, not its scope, objective, or delivery mode.

•Proportionality

In line with the principle of proportionality, as set out in Article 5(4) TEU, the content and form of EU action should not exceed what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Treaties. This proposal respects the proportionality principle, as it is limited to changes strictly necessary to give effect to the amendment to Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 in the basic act regulating the Brexit Adjustment Reserve.

•Choice of the instrument

The BAR Regulation mentioned above is to be amended by way of a Regulation to align it with the amendment of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093.

3.BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS

The proposal for a modification of the BAR aims to reduce the resources provisionally allocated to the BAR by an amount of EUR 584 264 090, which is redeployed for other purposes. The above reduction is expressed in current prices.

4.OTHER ELEMENTS

•Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements

The proposed amendments aim to give effect to the mid-term revision of the MFF as reflected in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 and do not aim to modify the monitoring and reporting obligations of the Regulation that is proposed to be amended.

•Detailed explanation of the specific provisions of the proposal

The proposal is limited to the introduction of targeted amendments to an existing Regulation. As it just aims to give effect to the mid-term revision of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093, in particular to its Article 10(2), merely the following changes are proposed:

Amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 to reduce the remaining provisional allocation that becomes available in 2025 by EUR 584 264 090 in current prices and in particular: 

–In Article 4, paragraph 3:

–point (b) is amended to take into acount the reduction of the remaining provisionally allocated amount to be made available in 2025;

–a new subparagraph is added after point (b) to reflect the consequences of that reduction.

2025/0289 (COD)

Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 as regards the amounts allocated to the Member States under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 175 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee 7 ,

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions 8 ,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1)Since the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 of the European Parliament and of the Council 9 , unprecedented geopolitical events have occurred, triggered by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the ensuing energy crisis and the related spike in inflation and interest rates. Those geopolitical and economic developments have brought new emergencies which should be addressed to deliver on the Union’s shared priorities and needs. Taking into account the near exhaustion of the limited budgetary flexibilities and the limits reached by redeployment possibilities, the multiannual financial framework established by Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 10 had to be reinforced for the years 2024 to 2027 to provide for the funding that is the most essentially needed to respond to urgent and common challenges.

(2)Against that background, the Council adopted Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/765 11 , which amended Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 by reducing the maximum resources laid down in that Regulation for the Brexit Adjustment Reserve, making it possible to redeploy them for other purposes.

(3)The maximum resources of the Brexit Adjustment Reserve as provided for in Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 should therefore be reduced. To ensure effective use of the resources already paid to the Member States under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve and to avoid jeopardising the implementation in Member States of the Recovery and Resilience Facility established by Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European and of the Council 12 , the reduction should not affect the resources already paid to Member States as pre-financing nor the resources which Member States requested to be transferred to their Recovery and Resilience Facility.

(4)The amount of EUR 584 264 090 that would be due to be paid in accordance with Article 12(3) of that Regulation in 2025, should therefore not be paid and should be deducted from the overall envelope of the reserve.

(5)Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1755, paragraph 3 is amended as follows:

1.in the first subparagraph, point (b) is replaced by the following:

‘(b) any remaining provisionally allocated amount shall be made available in 2025 in accordance with Article 12.’;

2.the following subparagraph is added:

‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, the amounts not transferred to the Recovery and Resilience Facility in accordance with Article 4a that would be due to be paid by the Commission in accordance with Article 12(3), shall not be paid and shall be deducted from the amount referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article.’.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
