CHANGES TO THE STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE BY SECTION

1. INTRODUCTION

The Commission presented the Draft Amending Budget No. 10 to the general budget 2010 (DAB 10/2010) on 20 October 2010.

In this letter of amendment to the DAB 10/2010, the Commission wants to suppress the reduction of commitment appropriations foreseen in Heading 2 linked to the article 05 02 12 "Milk and milk products" (- EUR 280 million ) and article 05 02 03 "Refunds on non-Annex 1 products" (- EUR 50 million).

At the completion of the execution 2010 (October 15, 2010), the needs for the EAGF are indeed higher than the available commitment appropriation voted by the Budgetary Authority. All the voted appropriations may hence be consumed as well as some assigned revenue generated in 2010. Assigned revenue generated in 2010 and not consumed in 2010 will be carried over in 2011, lowering therefore 2011 need for voted appropriation.

[12] The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) is not included in the calculation of the margin under heading 1a (EUR 500 million). EUR 195 million above the ceiling is financed by the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument.

[13] The European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) amount is entered over and above the relevant headings as foreseen by the IIA of 17 May 2006 (OJ C 139 of 14.6.2006)

[14] The 2010 margin for heading 4 does not take into account the appropriations related to the Emergency Aid Reserve (EUR 248,9 million).

[15] For calculating the margin under the ceiling for heading 5, account is taken of the footnote (1) of the financial framework 2007-2013 for an amount of EUR 80 million for the staff contributions to the pension scheme.
