PURPOSE: presentation of a Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 6 to the General Budget of the European Union for the year 2015.

CONTENT: Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 6 for the year 2015 covers the following:

a revision of the forecast of Traditional Own Resources (TOR, i.e. customs duties and sugar sector levies), VAT and GNI bases, the budgeting of the relevant UK corrections as well as their financing resulting in a change in the distribution between Member States of their own resources contributions to the EU budget; the creation of two new budget items 21 01 04 08 and 22 01 04 03 — Support expenditure for trust funds managed by the European Commission. These items are intended to receive compensation for management costs related to the European Union trust funds for external action, in accordance with Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation; an amendment of the establishment plan of the BEREC Office, without incurring any changes to the overall budget or the total number of posts. To recall, the BEREC Office was established in 2009 and is located in Riga (Latvia). Currently, it has a staff of 15 temporary agents. The proposed amendment of the 2015 establishment plan of the BEREC Office is necessary in order to allow for the reclassification (promotion) of two administrators (AD 5) and two assistants (AST 3) temporary posts in 2015. The overall budget and the total number of posts will remain unchanged.

In summary, DAB 6/2015 has no consequences for expenditure in 2015 . The impact for revenue is a change in the distribution between Member States of their own resources contributions.

  • PURPOSE: presentation of a Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 6 to the General Budget of the European Union for the year 2015.

    CONTENT: Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 6 for the year 2015 covers the following:

    • a revision of the forecast of Traditional Own Resources (TOR, i.e. customs duties and sugar sector levies), VAT and GNI bases, the budgeting of the relevant UK corrections as well as their financing resulting in a change in the distribution between Member States of their own resources contributions to the EU budget;
    • the creation of two new budget items 21 01 04 08 and 22 01 04 03 — Support expenditure for trust funds managed by the European Commission. These items are intended to receive compensation for management costs related to the European Union trust funds for external action, in accordance with Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation;
    • an amendment of the establishment plan of the BEREC Office, without incurring any changes to the overall budget or the total number of posts. To recall, the BEREC Office was established in 2009 and is located in Riga (Latvia). Currently, it has a staff of 15 temporary agents. The proposed amendment of the 2015 establishment plan of the BEREC Office is necessary in order to allow for the reclassification (promotion) of two administrators (AD 5) and two assistants (AST 3) temporary posts in 2015. The overall budget and the total number of posts will remain unchanged.

    In summary, DAB 6/2015 has no consequences for expenditure in 2015. The impact for revenue is a change in the distribution between Member States of their own resources contributions.
