    The European Parliament adopted by 624 votes to 14, with 29 abstentions, a resolution aiming to adopt, unamended, the Council's position on Draft amending budget No 3/2011. It recalls that Draft amending budget No 3/2011 aims to enter in the 2011 budget the surplus from the 2010 financial year, amounting to EUR 4 539 394 283.The main components of that surplus are: (i) a positive outturn on income of more than EUR 1.8 billion; (ii) an under-spend in expenditure of EUR 2.72 billion; (iii) a positive exchange rate difference of EUR 22.3 million,The major part of the income side (EUR 1.28 billion out of EUR 1.8 billion) comes from interest on late payments and fines.Parliament is firmly convinced that the part of income calculated from interest on late payments and fines is not to be considered as a surplus and should therefore not be deducted from the Member States' contributions (own resources based on GNI). Such income should be directly put back and reinvested in the EU budget. Parliament approves, however, Council's position on Draft amending budget No 3/2011 unamended and stresses that it is determined to promote and defend this principle in the forthcoming negotiations on annual and multiannual budgets.

    PURPOSE: to present Draft Amending Budget No 3 to the General Budget 2011. CONTENT: the present Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 3/2011 is intended to budget the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2010. As provided for in the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities, under Article 15(3), it is the only subject of this DAB and it has to be submitted within 15 days following the submission of the provisional accounts, which took place on 31 March 2011.The implementation of the budget year 2010 shows a surplus of EUR 4 539 394 283 (not including contributions from European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and European Economic Area (EEA)), which is therefore entered as revenue in the 2011 budget.The budgeting of the surplus will diminish accordingly the global contribution of the Member States to the financing of the EU Budget. This global decrease by Member State will also be influenced by the updated own resources forecast (Traditional Own Resources (TOR), Value Added Tax (VAT) and Gross National Income (GNI)) including the updated amount of the UK correction. In June 2011, the Commission will present, in a separate Draft Amending Budget, updated forecasts, which are expected to change further the amounts of the contributions by country.
