EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.
Introduction
The MFF Regulation for the years 2021-2027 was adopted in December 2020. The legislative framework for the funds under shared management for the period 2021-2027, and in particular the Common Provisions Regulation, was adopted in mid-2021. This meant that the legal framework for the programming exercise of the funds under shared management was in place at a late stage.
Article 7 of the MFF Regulation provides for a specific adjustment of the MFF ceilings, to be carried out by the Commission at the beginning of 2022, allowing for the transfers of 2021 allocation of commitment appropriations for the identified funds under shared management either not used or carried over, in the case of the adoption after 1 January 2021 of new rules or programmes under shared management. The nine funds concerned, the list of which is set out in Article 7(1) of the MFF Regulation, are the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund, the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy.
The results of the adjustments of the MFF ceilings of Headings 2a, 3, 4 and 5 to be made by the Commission in accordance with Article 7 of the MFF Regulation are included in a specific Communication.
Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 1 for the year 2022 reflects the specific impact of this transfer on 2022 commitment appropriations for the various funds under shared management under Headings 2a, 3, 4 and 5. The remaining transferred amounts will be reflected in the respective Draft Budgets of 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Overall, the net impact of this DAB on expenditure in the 2022 budget amounts to an increase of EUR 12 247,1 million in commitment appropriations. No additional payment appropriations are requested.
2.
Requests by MFF heading and programmes
The adoption of the Communication on the MFF adjustment and this DAB are necessary conditions for the implementation in 2022 of all programmes which were not adopted in 2021 by the first instalment of budgetary commitments and the payment of pre-financing under these programmes. All 27 Member States are concerned by this re-programming exercise. A swift adoption of this DAB would prevent further delays in the implementation of the programmes.
In line with the provisions of Article 7 of the MFF Regulation, the amounts neither committed in 2021 nor carried over to 2022 are transferred in equal proportions to each of the years 2022 to 2025. Therefore this DAB reflects the transfer of 25 % of the allocations not used in 2021 (i.e. commitment appropriations not used nor carried over), corresponding to a total of EUR 12 247,1 million to the 2022 financial year. The specific amounts to be transferred to 2022 are detailed by budget line in the tables below.
The Commission does not propose any change to the level of payment appropriations in the context of this draft amending budget. As usual, it will keep budget implemetation under close scrutiny, which may result in proposals for adjustment at a later stage in the year.
