4. Draws attention to this increasing gap under heading 1b of the 2017 draft budget between commitments and payments appropriations: from EUR 2 billion in 2016 to EUR 16,3 billion in 2017; highlights that, as the implementation rate of the European Structural and Investment Funds is expected to increase in 2017, sufficient budgetary resources are needed to match that increase; raises awareness that the late start of the implementation of cohesion policy programmes in the current MFF and the lack of administrative capacity of beneficiaries to accelerate the implementation of programmes could delay the payments in 2017; is seriously concerned that this situation will negatively influence the backlog of payments, notably through the possible accumulation of unpaid invoices over the second half of the multiannual financial framework;
