PURPOSE: to present Draft Amending Budget N° 7/2013.

CONTENT: Draft amending budget (DAB) No 7 for the year 2013 covers an increase of commitment appropriations of EUR 150 million in heading 1b of the multi-annual financial framework (MFF).

This is with the aim of addressing certain issues resulting from the final outcome of the negotiations of the MFF for the years 2014-2020, affecting France, Italy and Spain. The European Council of 27 and 28 June 2013 considered that a budgetary solution should be given to that matter.

In view of the current economic crisis and as a contribution to the special effort needed to address the specific situations of unemployment, in particular youth unemployment, and of poverty and social exclusion in these Member States, the Commission considers that the most appropriate way to assist them is by increasing the European Social Fund (ESF).

As the existing allocations have already been fully committed in the EU budget, the Commission proposes to increase the ESF allocations to those three Member States for the year 2013 .

The reinforcement of EUR 150 million in commitment appropriations will be covered by the margin under the expenditure ceiling of heading 1b (EUR 16 million), and by the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument (EUR 134 million) targeted at this specific action.

Knowing that these additional funds should contibute to addressing the specific situations of unemployment, in particular youth unemployment, and of poverty and social exclusion in these Member States, the Commission considered that the most appropriate way to assist them is by increasing the European Social Fund (ESF). The reinforcement of EUR 150 million in commitment appropriations will be covered by the margin under the expenditure ceiling of heading 1b (EUR 16 million), and by the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument (EUR 134 million) targeted at this specific action. At the same time, Parliament approved the Commission proposal to reserve the additional funds to the ESF programmes underway in the Member States concerned and it looked to the Commission to report in due time to the European Parliament on the actions and measures financed by these funds . Furthermore, it also approved the Council position on the Draft Amending Budget No 7/2013.

  • PURPOSE: to present Draft Amending Budget N° 7/2013.

    CONTENT: Draft amending budget (DAB) No 7 for the year 2013 covers an increase of commitment appropriations of EUR 150 million in heading 1b of the multi-annual financial framework (MFF).

    This is with the aim of addressing certain issues resulting from the final outcome of the negotiations of the MFF for the years 2014-2020, affecting France, Italy and Spain. The European Council of 27 and 28 June 2013 considered that a budgetary solution should be given to that matter.

    In view of the current economic crisis and as a contribution to the special effort needed to address the specific situations of unemployment, in particular youth unemployment, and of poverty and social exclusion in these Member States, the Commission considers that the most appropriate way to assist them is by increasing the European Social Fund (ESF).

    As the existing allocations have already been fully committed in the EU budget, the Commission proposes to increase the ESF allocations to those three Member States for the year 2013.

    The reinforcement of EUR 150 million in commitment appropriations will be covered by the margin under the expenditure ceiling of heading 1b (EUR 16 million), and by the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument (EUR 134 million) targeted at this specific action.
