  PURPOSE: presentation by the Commission of the consolidated annual accounts of the European Union for the financial year 2013, as part of the 2013 discharge procedure. Analysis of the accounts of the ENIAC Joint Undertaking. CONTENT: this Commission document sets out the consolidated annual accounts of the European Union for the financial year 2013 as prepared on the basis of the information presented by the institutions, organisations and bodies of the EU, in accordance with Article 129 (2) of the Financial Regulation applicable to the EU's General Budget, including the ENIAC Joint Undertaking. The document contains the figures on which the discharge procedure is based. Discharge procedure of the EU Joint Undertakings: the EU Budget finances a wide range of policies and programmes throughout the EU. In accordance with the priorities set by the European Parliament and the Council in the multi-annual financial framework (MFF), the European Commission carries out specific programmes, activities and projects in the field with the technical support of some specialised agencies. The consolidated annual accounts of the EU provide information on the activities of the institutions, agencies and other bodies of the EU from a budgetary and accrual accounting perspective. The consolidated reports on the implementation of the general budget of the EU include the budget implementation of all Institutions. Agencies and Joint Undertakings (JUs) do not have a separate budget inside the EU budget; and they are partially financed by a Commission budget subsidy. Each JU is subject to its own discharge procedure. ENIAC: in 2013, the tasks and budget of the Joint Undertaking were as follows: description of the tasks of the Joint Undertaking: the ENIAC Joint Undertaking, located in Brussels, was set up by Council Regulation (EC) No 72/2008 for a period of 10 years. The aim of ENIAC is to define a commonly agreed research agenda in the field of nano-electronics. It pursues this by pooling resources from the public and private sectors to support R&D activities in the form of projects; accounts of the JU: the total commitment of the EU amounts to EUR 450 million. At 31 December 2013, the Commission held 95.41% of the ownership participation in ENIAC. The cumulative unrecognised share of losses is EUR 26 million. Please also consult the final accounts of ENIAC Joint Undertaking.
