PURPOSE: Presentation of the Commission's Draft Budget\n(DB) for 2018 (all sections).
\nBACKGROUND: The 2018 draft budget is in line with the\nannual evolution foreseen in the multiannual financial framework\n(MFF). It focuses on the challenge of migration, both within and\noutside the EU. The 2018 budget will be the fifth of the\ncurrent MFF.
\nThe budget is proposed in the context of the mid-term\nreview of the MFF formally adopted by the Council.
\nThe Commission should also use the budget under\nthe 'Agriculture' heading to allocate additional funding for\nsecurity and migration.
\nThe budget in a few figures: the draft budget for 2018 (including special\ninstruments) is as follows:
\n\n· \nthe overall ceiling for commitment\nappropriations (CAs) amounts to EUR 160.6 billion,\ncorresponding to 1.02% of GNI, and represents an increase of EUR 2\n213.9 million compared to the 2017 budget. The resulting total\nmargin under the ceiling of the commitments of the MFF amounts to\nEUR 1.1 billion;
\n\n· \nthe ceiling on payment appropriations\n(PAs) amounts to EUR 145.4 billion, which corresponds to\n0.92% of GNI, i.e. an increase of 8.1% in the amounts compared\nwith 2017, due to the structural programmes And EU investment\nfor the period 2014-2020 that will reach their cruising speed,\nafter a slow start. The remaining margin under the MFF payments\nceiling for 2018 is EUR 10.4 billion.
\nThe main budgetary priorities for the year are as\nfollows:
\n- employment and investment: The European\nStrategic Investment Fund (ESIF) aims to support employment and\nboost growth through the more intelligent use of existing and new\nfinancial resources in order to capitalise on private investment.\nIt has already mobilised EUR 194 billion of investment to date. In\n2018, the Commission proposes to allocate an additional EUR 2\nbillion to the ESIF guarantee fund.
\nIn general, EUR 55.4 billion will be allocated to the\nStructural and Investment Funds for regions and Member States and\naround EUR 59.6 billion for farmers and rural\ndevelopment.
\nThe promotion of sustainable development will\nalso guide the actions covered by the EU budget outside the Union,\nwhich will be considerably strengthened as regards neighbouring\ncountries. The new European Sustainable Development Fund\nshould therefore mobilise additional funds, particularly from the\nprivate sector;
\n- new prospects for young people: the\nErasmus + programme will increase to EUR 2.3 billion, an\nincrease of 9.5% compared to the 2017 budget. By the end of 2016,\naround 1.6 million young people had benefited from actions under\nthe Youth Employment Initiative. This initiative has helped\nto reduce the youth unemployment rate in most Member\nStates. However, given that unemployment rates are still higher\nthan pre-financial crisis levels, it is necessary to continue\nefforts at EU level and to provide assistance. To this end, an\nadditional EUR 1.2 billion should be allocated to the initiative\nfor the period 2017-2020 of which EUR 233 million is included in\nthe 2018 draft budget and EUR 500 million in an amending budget for\n2017, proposed in parallel.
\nIn addition, the European Solidarity Corps,\nwhich aims to offer young people voluntary, internship and\nemployment offers for periods of 2 to 12 months, to promote\nsolidarity within society throughout Europe. This initiative will\nhave its own budget and a legal basis to allow 100 000 Europeans to\nparticipate by 2020, for a total amount of EUR 342 million for the\nperiod 2018-2020, of which EUR 89 million in\n2018;
\n-increasing security within and outside the\nEU: given that migration and security\nremain top priorities, the Commission plans to continue funding a\nwide range of related actions within the European Union such as the\nprovision of humanitarian aid, the strengthening of the management\nof external borders and the support of the Member States most\naffected. The EUR 4.1 billion allocated for this purpose in\nthe draft budget for 2018 in the areas of migration and security\ncovers the EU's overall allocation for migration and security to an\nunprecedented amount of EUR 22 billion for the period\n2015-2018.
\nAdditional funds will also be available to combat the\nroot causes of migration externally, including by providing\nassistance to third countries facing large migratory flows, such as\nLebanon and Jordan. The draft budget also includes the\ncommitments made for this region at the Brussels conference on\naid for the future of Syria in April 2017 totalling EUR 560\nmillion.
\nIn the area of security, EU funding will focus\non preventive security measures, in particular in the field of\norganised crime, including enhanced coordination and cooperation\nbetween national law enforcement agencies, improving the security\nof the Union's external borders and supporting Member States in\ncombating terrorism and cybercrime.
\nIn addition, in 2017, the Commission launched a\npreparatory action for defence-funded research work financed\nby the Union. A total of EUR 90 million is envisaged in the\nbudget for the period 2017-2019 to finance collaborative research\nin innovative technologies and products in the field of\ndefence.
\nMAIN FEATURES OF THE BUDGET BY HEADING: the following\npresentation is structured according to the budget headings set out\nin the 2014-2020 financial framework:
\nHeading 1: Smart and inclusive\ngrowth: this budget heading is\ndivided into two sub-headings:
\n\n· \n1.a Competitiveness for growth and\nemployment: Commitment appropriations\nfor this sub-heading amount to EUR 21.841 billion. This amount is\nup by 2.5% compared to the 2017 budget, mainly due to increases in\nsupport of the Common Strategic Framework for Research and\nInnovation, the European Interconnection Mechanism and Erasmus +.\nThere remains a margin of EUR 56.1 million, after recourse to the\noverall margin for commitments, of EUR 658.4 million.\nPayment appropriations increase by 3.9% to EUR 20 billion;
\n\n· \n1.b Economic, social and territorial\ncohesion: commitment appropriations\nincrease by 2.4% to EUR 55.408 billion, leaving a margin of EUR 6.5\nmillion. In line with the political agreement reached on the MFF\nmid-term review, an amount of EUR 233 million is proposed for the\nYouth Employment Initiative in 2018. Payment appropriations for the\nheading as a whole have increased by 25.7% compared to the budget\nfor 2017 rising to EUR 46.763 billion;
\nHeading 2: Sustainable Growth: Natural\nResources: Commitment\nappropriations amounting to EUR 59.553 billion are proposed for\nthis heading, an increase of 1.7% compared to 2017. The level of\nexpenditure leaves a margin of EUR 713.5 million below the ceiling.\nPayment appropriations amount to EUR 56.36 billion, an increase of\n2.6% compared to 2017. The financing of market-related expenditure\nand direct payments amounted to EUR 43.5 billion in commitment\nappropriations and EUR 43.47 billion in payment\nappropriations.
\nHeading 3: Security and citizenship:\ngiven the scale of the challenges, the\nCommission proposes to continue to make a major effort in 2018 to\nfinance migration and security-related expenditure in Heading 3.\nThe level of commitment appropriations amounted to EUR 3.473\nbillion, i.e. EUR 817 million above the ceiling. There is therefore\nno margin under this heading, which will require the\nmobilisation of the flexibility instrument, the envelope of\nwhich has been increased as part of the MFF mid-term review, in\norder to cover all the needs of heading 3 in 2018 (EUR 817\nmillion). Payment appropriations amount to EUR 2.964 billion. The\nlevel of commitments and payments is lower (-18.9% for commitments\nand -21.7% for payments) than for the 2017 budget, which was very\nhigh, due to the need for an urgent response to\nmigration.
\nHeading 4: Europe in the world:\ncommitments amounting to EUR 9,593 billion are\nenvisaged. By 2017, the Commission had mobilised EUR 730 million\nunder the contingency margin in favour of this heading. For 2018,\nit is proposed to leave a margin of EUR 232 million to cover new\nneeds that might still arise, such as the possible extension of\nthe refugee facility in Turkey, for the Commission will perhaps\nneed to submit a letter of amendment to the draft budget or an\namending budget. The commitment appropriations for 2018 therefore\ncorrespond to a decrease of EUR -569.1 million, or -5.6%, compared\nwith the budget for 2017. The level of payment appropriations,\namounting to EUR 8.951 billion, is down -5.6%, reflecting the\nabsence of any arrears of outstanding commitments under this\nheading;
\nHeading 5: Administration (expenditure of the European\ninstitutions and staff): Commitment and payment\nappropriations for heading 5, 'Administration', including all\ninstitutions, including European pensions and schools, have each\nincreased by 3.1% with commitments amounting to EUR 9.682 billion.\nThe draft budget includes adjustments made by the Commission to\nensure a better match between the draft estimates of expenditure\nfor the Court of Justice, the European Economic and Social\nCommittee and the European Committee of the Regions. The margin\nunder the ceiling of heading 5 amounts to EUR 663.6 million, of\nwhich EUR 570 million compensate for the recourse in the 2017\nbudget to the contingency margin for expenditure under heading 3\nrelating to migration. The margin for 2018 still\navailable amounts to EUR 93.6 million.
\nOn 4 September 2017, the Council adopted its position\non the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial\nyear 2018.
\nThe Council provides EUR 158 917.3 million in\ncommitment appropriations and EUR 144 429.56 million in payment\nappropriations. This represents an increase of 0.63% and 7.39%\nrespectively compared to the 2017 EU budget.
\nThe significant increase in payments reflects the fact\nthat the 2014-2020 programmes will be at an advanced stage of\nimplementation.
\nThe total amount of payment appropriations provided\nfor in the Council's position on the DB for 2018 corresponds to\n0.92% of the EU gross national income (GNI).
\nA. Principles: when adopting its\nposition, the Council took into account the following\nprinciples:
\nAdministrative expenditure: the Council acknowledged the efforts made to reach\nthe -5% staff reduction target. It insisted that a proper\nassessment of the outcome of the 5% staff reduction exercise be\ncarried out.
\nIn order to ensure an appropriate level of\nadministrative expenditure and the proper functioning of the\ninstitutions, the Council adopted the following\napproach:
\nDecentralised agencies:\nthe Council suggested reducing the overall level of contributions\nfrom the Union budget by EUR 5 million in commitment and\npayment appropriations. Agencies which did not fully implement the\ncontributions received from the Union budget in the past and/or for\nwhich the absorption capacities could be lower than the forecasts\nmade by the Commission would be affected by those\nreductions.
\nPayment appropriations:\nthe Council will carefully examine the letter of\namendment for agriculture (including information on assigned\nrevenue) in order to appropriately assess the level of resources\nunder heading 2 (Sustainable growth: natural resources) in the 2018\nbudget.
\nThe\nCouncil also called on the Commission to:
\nB. Expenditure by main MFF\nheadings:
\nHeading 1: Smart and inclusive growth: EUR 76 499 million in\ncommitments and EUR 66 415 million in payments, up by 2.1% and 17.5% respectively compared to\n2017.
\n1a) Competitiveness for growth and\njobs: the amount is set at EUR 21 091 million in\ncommitments, a decrease of 1.04% compared to 2017.
\nThe\nsub-heading is characterised by the following elements:
\nThe\nreductions envisaged would involve a number of specific budget\nlines in the following areas:
\nThe\nmargin available under sub-heading 1a would be EUR 806.05\nmillion.
\n1b) Economic, social and territorial\ncohesion: the Council provided EUR 55 407 million in\ncommitments, an increase of 3.4% compared to 2017.
\nOther main features of this sub-heading\ninclude:
\nThe\nmargin available under sub-heading 1b would be EUR 6.45\nmillion.
\nHeading 2: Sustainable growth: natural\nresources: EUR 59 278 million in\ncommitments. This is an increase of 1.18% to 2017.
\nThe heading is characterised by the following\nelements:
\nReductions would be made as regards administrative\nsupport, operational technical assistance and operational lines\nunder:
\nThe\nmargin available under heading 2 would be EUR 988.48\nmillion.
\nHeading 3: Security and citizenship: the amount of this heading is set at EUR\n3 442 million in appropriations and sees an increase of\n19.65% compared to the 2017 budget.
\nThis heading is characterised by the\nfollowing:
\nThe\nmargin available under heading 3 would be equal to\nzero. The Flexibility Instrument is mobilised for an amount\nof EUR 786.24 million in commitment appropriations.
\nHeading 4: Global Europe: the Council lays down an amount of EUR 9 503\nmillion in commitments, a decrease of 6.49% compared to 2017.\nIt also decided to:
\nThe margin available under heading 4 would be\nEUR 321.95 million.
\nHeading 5: Administrative expenditure: the administrative expenditure amounts to EUR 9\n627 million, a decrease of 2.51% compared to 2017. As regards\nstaff levels, the Council accepted the establishment plans as\nproposed by the Commission in the DB for 2018.
\nThe\nmargin available under heading 5 would be EUR 148.58\nmillion.
\nSpecial instruments: the\nCouncil maintained the appropriations\nentered in the DB for 2018 for the Emergency Aid Reserve and the\nEuropean Union Globalisation Adjustment Fund. Moreover, it did not\ninclude any amount in the reserve for the European Union Solidarity\nFund (-EUR 524.0 million in commitment appropriations, -EUR 200.0\nmillion in payment appropriations).
\nThe Committee on Budgets adopted the joint report by\nSiegfried MUREŞAN (EPP, RO) (Section III Commission)\nand Richard ASHWORTH (ECR, UK) (other sections) on the Council\nposition on the draft general budget of the European Union for the\nfinancial year 2018.
\nPolitical priorities:\nMembers stressed that Parliaments reading of the 2018 budget\nfully reflects the political priorities adopted by an\noverwhelming majority in its resolution of 15 March 2017 on general\nguidelines and of 5 July 2017 on a mandate for the trilogue. They\nrecalled that sustainable growth, jobs, in particular youth\nemployment, security and climate change are at the core of those\npriorities.
\nHowever, given that the Union continues to face\nnumerous challenges, the necessary financial resources must be\ndeployed from the Union budget, in order to meet the political\npriorities and allow the Union to deliver concrete answers and\neffectively respond to those challenges. Union spending should be\nbased on the principle of European added value and should\nrespect the principle of subsidiarity.
\nProposed cuts: Members\nfailed to understand how the Union can achieve progress\nconsidering the EUR 750 million cuts proposed by the Council\nunder subheading 1a. They proposed instead to additionally\nreinforce research and innovation programmes that have a very\nhigh implementation rate and which, due to oversubscription, are\nfaced with a particularly low success rate for\napplications.
\nMembers remained committed to its pledges made during\nthe EFSI negotiations, namely to minimise the impact of\nEFSI-related cuts on Horizon 2020 and the Connecting Europe\nFacility (CEF) in the framework of the annual budgetary procedure.\nThey proposed to offset those cuts by restoring the\noriginal annual profile of those two programmes, in order to\nallow them to fully accomplish the objectives agreed during the\nadoption of the relevant legislation.
\nMoreover, they expressed their political support for\nthe establishment of the European\nSolidarity Corps (ESC) and welcomed the legislative proposal\nput forward in this regard by the Commission. However, pending a\ndecision on the financing of the ESC and the adoption of the\nrelevant regulation under the ordinary legislative procedure, no\nfinancial provision should be entered for this purpose in the 2018\nbudget. They proposed, therefore, that relevant appropriations\nand redeployments, entered by the Commission in the Draft Budget\n2018 (DB), should be for the moment reversed, as the\ndecision on the 2018 budget should not prejudge in any way the\noutcome of the legislative negotiations.
\nStrengthening policies:\nconcerned by the fact that youth unemployment remains at\nunprecedented levels, Members recommended reinforcing the Youth\nEmployment Initiative (YEI) beyond the level proposed by the\nCommission for 2018. They proposed to bring the YEI to EUR 600\nmillion in commitments in 2018.
\nMembers stated that, while at present the peak of\nthe migratory and refugee crisis seems to have decreased, the\nCommission is urged to continuously monitor the adequacy of\nallocations under Heading 3 (Security and Citizenship) and make\nfull use of all available instruments under the current MFF to\nrespond in a timely manner to any unforeseen event that might\nrequire additional funding. They proposed reinforcing in a\nlimited manner the Asylum\nMigration and Integration Fund and the Internal\nSecurity Fund, as well as the agencies with responsibilities in\nthe field of asylum, such as the European Asylum Support Office\n(EASO). Overall, Heading 3 is reinforced by EUR 108.8\nmillion in commitment appropriations above the DB.
\nAs regards climate, Members regretted that the\nCommission has failed to put forward concrete and realistic\nproposals to achieve the Paris Agreement goals. Therefore, they\nproposed to increase above the level of the DB for climate-related\nactions and for the Commission to present all the necessary\nproposals to reach the goals in the forthcoming draft\nbudgets.
\nAs the Unions external action is faced with ever\ngrowing funding needs which greatly exceed the current size of\nHeading 4, Members considered that the mobilisation of the Union\nbudget to respond to the migration challenge will continue to\nrequire dynamic responses in the coming years. Therefore, Members\nsuggested reversing almost all of the Councils cuts and\nreinforcing Heading 4 by EUR 299.7 million above the DB in\ncommitment appropriations.
\nOn administration in general, Members\nconsidered that Councils cuts do not reflect the real\nneeds and thus jeopardise the already significantly\nrationalised administrative expenditure. They suggested restoring\nthe DB for all Commission administrative expenditure, including\nadministrative and research support expenditure in Headings 1 to\n4.
\nMembers set the overall level of appropriations for\n2018 at EUR 162 597 930 901 in commitment appropriations and\nEUR 146 712 004 932 in payment appropriations.
\nMembers went on to make a series of observations and\nrecommendations under each sub-heading of the budget and each Union\ninstitution, in line with their general budgetary views.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 414 votes to 163,\nwith 90 abstentions, a resolution on the Council position on the\ndraft general budget of the European Union for the financial year\n2018.
\nIt set the overall amount of appropriations for 2018\nat:
\nPolitical priorities:\nMembers stressed that Parliaments reading of the 2018 budget\nfully reflects the political priorities adopted by an overwhelming\nmajority in its resolution of 15 March 2017 on general guidelines\nand of 5 July 2017 on a mandate for the trilogue. They recalled\nthat sustainable growth, jobs, in particular youth employment,\nsecurity and climate change are at the core of those\npriorities.
\nHowever, given that the Union continues to face\nnumerous challenges, the necessary financial resources must be\ndeployed from the Union budget, in order to meet the political\npriorities and allow the Union to deliver concrete answers and\neffectively respond to those challenges. Union spending should be\nbased on the principle of European added value and should respect\nthe principle of subsidiarity.
\nProposed cuts:\nreaffirming its commitment to financing Union policies that enhance\njobs and growth in all its regions through investment in research,\neducation, infrastructure, SMEs and employment, in particular youth\nemployment, Parliament failed to understand how the Union can\nachieve progress in those fields considering the EUR 750 million\ncuts proposed by the Council under subheading 1a. It decided\ninstead to additionally reinforce research and innovation\nprogrammes that have a very high implementation rate and which, due\nto oversubscription, are faced with a particularly low success rate\nfor applications.
\nIt remained committed to its pledges made during the\nEuropean Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) negotiations, namely\nto minimise the impact of EFSI-related cuts on Horizon 2020 and the\nConnecting Europe Facility (CEF) in the framework of the annual\nbudgetary procedure. It proposed to offset those cuts by restoring\nthe original annual profile of those two programmes, in order to\nallow them to fully accomplish the objectives agreed during the\nadoption of the relevant legislation.
\nMoreover, Members expressed their political support\nfor the establishment of the European\nSolidarity Corps (ESC) and welcomed the legislative proposal\nput forward in this regard by the Commission. However, pending a\ndecision on the financing of the ESC and the adoption of the\nrelevant regulation under the ordinary legislative procedure, no\nfinancial provision should be entered for this purpose in the 2018\nbudget. They proposed, therefore, that relevant appropriations and\nredeployments, entered by the Commission in the Draft Budget 2018\n(DB), should be for the moment reversed, as the decision on the\n2018 budget should not prejudge in any way the outcome of the\nlegislative negotiations.
\nStrengthening policies:\nParliament underlined that the following policies should be\nenhanced:
\nCompetitiveness for growth and jobs, Parliament rejected Councils unjustified EUR 750 million\ncuts to subheading 1a, which alone represent almost two thirds\nof the overall Council cuts in commitments in MFF headings. It\nstressed that such cuts contradict Councils own stated\npolitical priorities. Parliament decided, therefore, to further\nreinforce beyond the DB and the pre-EFSI and pre-ESC profiles those\nprogrammes that are key to boosting growth and jobs and that\nreflect widely agreed Union priorities, namely Erasmus+, Horizon\n2020 (Marie Curie, European Research Council, SME Instrument),\nCOSME, and EaSI (Progress and Eures).
\nMoreover, it called for a defence research\nprogramme with a dedicated budget within the next Multiannual\nFinancial Framework. Members also proposed that increased resources\nshould be allocated in the framework of the 2018 Budget in order to\nconduct a comprehensive and unbiased assessment of the risk posed\nby third countries in terms of their strategic deficiencies in the\narea of anti-money laundering and countering terrorist\nfinancing and to establish a list of 'high-risk'\njurisdictions.
\nAdequate resources should also be allocated to the\nEuropean Union Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal\ntesting (EURL ECVAM) to effectively perform its duties and\ntasks.
\nAs a result, Parliament increased the level of\ncommitment appropriations for subheading 1a above the DB by\nEUR 143.9 million.
\nEconomic, social and territorial\ncohesion, Parliament disapproved\nof Council's proposed cuts of EUR 240 million in payments\nunder subheading 1b, including on support lines and reverses them,\npending updated forecasts from the Commission. It is especially\nconcerned by the fact that youth unemployment remains at\nunprecedented levels and recommended reinforcing the Youth\nEmployment Initiative (YEI) beyond the level proposed by the\nCommission for 2018. It proposed bringing the YEI to EUR 600\nmillion in commitments in 2018.
\nSecurity and citizenship: Members stated that, while at present the peak of\nthe migratory and refugee crisis seems to have decreased, the\nCommission is urged to continuously monitor the adequacy of\nallocations under Heading 3 (Security and Citizenship) and make\nfull use of all available instruments under the current MFF to\nrespond in a timely manner to any unforeseen event that might\nrequire additional funding. They proposed reinforcing in a\nlimited manner the Asylum\nMigration and Integration Fund and the Internal\nSecurity Fund, as well as the agencies with responsibilities in\nthe field of asylum, such as the European Asylum Support Office\n(EASO). Overall, Heading 3 is reinforced by EUR 108.8\nmillion in commitment appropriations above the DB.
\nMembers are in favour of the creation of a new\nbudget line for a Search and Rescue Fund to support Member\nStates in their obligations under international maritime law. The\nCommission is called upon to present a legislative proposal to set\nup such an EU Search and Rescue Fund.
\nGlobal Europe: as\nthe Unions external action is faced with ever growing funding\nneeds which greatly exceed the current size of Heading 4,\nParliament considered that the mobilisation of the Union budget to\nrespond to the migration challenge will continue to require dynamic\nresponses in the coming years. Therefore, Members suggested\nreversing almost all of the Councils cuts and reinforcing\nHeading 4 by EUR 299.7 million above the DB in commitment\nappropriations.
\nParliament also expressed grave concern at the rise of\ninstability and uncertainty both within and outside the Union. It\ninsisted on the need for a renewed focus on the Unions\napproach to cohesion, integration, peace, sustainable development\nand human rights. The Commission and the Member States are urged to\nboost efforts towards further sustaining peace and conflict\nprevention. In this context, it recalled the worldwide\ninspiration brought by the Good Friday Agreement while\nacknowledging the unprecedented challenges and pressures in the\naftermath of the United Kingdom 2016 Referendum. Parliament called\nupon the Commission and Member States to enhance their support for\nreconciliation to secure peace and stability in Ireland.
\nOn administration in general, Parliament considered that\nCouncils cuts do not reflect the real needs and thus\njeopardise the already significantly rationalised administrative\nexpenditure. It suggested restoring the DB for all Commission\nadministrative expenditure, including administrative and research\nsupport expenditure in Headings 1 to 4.
\nDecentralised Agencies:\nParliament welcomed the inclusion of adequate resources provided\nfor in the 2018 budget to support the European Supervisory\nAuthorities (ESAs). It emphasised, however, that in the interest of\na prudent use of their budgets, the ESAs must stick to the tasks\nand to the mandate assigned to them by the Union\nlegislator.
\nSpecial instruments:\nParliament called for an increase in the Emergency Aid Reserve\n(EAR) and the EU Solidarity Fund (EUSF) in light of the most recent\nand tragic disasters, namely the fires and extreme drought in\nPortugal and Spain.
\nMembers went on to make a series of more specific\nobservations and recommendations under each sub-heading of the\nbudget and each Union institution, in line with their general\nbudgetary views.
\nPURPOSE: Presentation of the Commission's Draft Budget\n(DB) for 2018 (all sections).
\nBACKGROUND: The 2018 draft budget is in line with the\nannual evolution foreseen in the multiannual financial framework\n(MFF). It focuses on the challenge of migration, both within and\noutside the EU. The 2018 budget will be the fifth of the\ncurrent MFF.
\nThe budget is proposed in the context of the mid-term\nreview of the MFF formally adopted by the Council.
\nThe Commission should also use the budget under\nthe 'Agriculture' heading to allocate additional funding for\nsecurity and migration.
\nThe budget in a few figures: the draft budget for 2018 (including special\ninstruments) is as follows:
\n\n· \nthe overall ceiling for commitment\nappropriations (CAs) amounts to EUR 160.6 billion,\ncorresponding to 1.02% of GNI, and represents an increase of EUR 2\n213.9 million compared to the 2017 budget. The resulting total\nmargin under the ceiling of the commitments of the MFF amounts to\nEUR 1.1 billion;
\n\n· \nthe ceiling on payment appropriations\n(PAs) amounts to EUR 145.4 billion, which corresponds to\n0.92% of GNI, i.e. an increase of 8.1% in the amounts compared\nwith 2017, due to the structural programmes And EU investment\nfor the period 2014-2020 that will reach their cruising speed,\nafter a slow start. The remaining margin under the MFF payments\nceiling for 2018 is EUR 10.4 billion.
\nThe main budgetary priorities for the year are as\nfollows:
\n- employment and investment: The European\nStrategic Investment Fund (ESIF) aims to support employment and\nboost growth through the more intelligent use of existing and new\nfinancial resources in order to capitalise on private investment.\nIt has already mobilised EUR 194 billion of investment to date. In\n2018, the Commission proposes to allocate an additional EUR 2\nbillion to the ESIF guarantee fund.
\nIn general, EUR 55.4 billion will be allocated to the\nStructural and Investment Funds for regions and Member States and\naround EUR 59.6 billion for farmers and rural\ndevelopment.
\nThe promotion of sustainable development will\nalso guide the actions covered by the EU budget outside the Union,\nwhich will be considerably strengthened as regards neighbouring\ncountries. The new European Sustainable Development Fund\nshould therefore mobilise additional funds, particularly from the\nprivate sector;
\n- new prospects for young people: the\nErasmus + programme will increase to EUR 2.3 billion, an\nincrease of 9.5% compared to the 2017 budget. By the end of 2016,\naround 1.6 million young people had benefited from actions under\nthe Youth Employment Initiative. This initiative has helped\nto reduce the youth unemployment rate in most Member\nStates. However, given that unemployment rates are still higher\nthan pre-financial crisis levels, it is necessary to continue\nefforts at EU level and to provide assistance. To this end, an\nadditional EUR 1.2 billion should be allocated to the initiative\nfor the period 2017-2020 of which EUR 233 million is included in\nthe 2018 draft budget and EUR 500 million in an amending budget for\n2017, proposed in parallel.
\nIn addition, the European Solidarity Corps,\nwhich aims to offer young people voluntary, internship and\nemployment offers for periods of 2 to 12 months, to promote\nsolidarity within society throughout Europe. This initiative will\nhave its own budget and a legal basis to allow 100 000 Europeans to\nparticipate by 2020, for a total amount of EUR 342 million for the\nperiod 2018-2020, of which EUR 89 million in\n2018;
\n-increasing security within and outside the\nEU: given that migration and security\nremain top priorities, the Commission plans to continue funding a\nwide range of related actions within the European Union such as the\nprovision of humanitarian aid, the strengthening of the management\nof external borders and the support of the Member States most\naffected. The EUR 4.1 billion allocated for this purpose in\nthe draft budget for 2018 in the areas of migration and security\ncovers the EU's overall allocation for migration and security to an\nunprecedented amount of EUR 22 billion for the period\n2015-2018.
\nAdditional funds will also be available to combat the\nroot causes of migration externally, including by providing\nassistance to third countries facing large migratory flows, such as\nLebanon and Jordan. The draft budget also includes the\ncommitments made for this region at the Brussels conference on\naid for the future of Syria in April 2017 totalling EUR 560\nmillion.
\nIn the area of security, EU funding will focus\non preventive security measures, in particular in the field of\norganised crime, including enhanced coordination and cooperation\nbetween national law enforcement agencies, improving the security\nof the Union's external borders and supporting Member States in\ncombating terrorism and cybercrime.
\nIn addition, in 2017, the Commission launched a\npreparatory action for defence-funded research work financed\nby the Union. A total of EUR 90 million is envisaged in the\nbudget for the period 2017-2019 to finance collaborative research\nin innovative technologies and products in the field of\ndefence.
\nMAIN FEATURES OF THE BUDGET BY HEADING: the following\npresentation is structured according to the budget headings set out\nin the 2014-2020 financial framework:
\nHeading 1: Smart and inclusive\ngrowth: this budget heading is\ndivided into two sub-headings:
\n\n· \n1.a Competitiveness for growth and\nemployment: Commitment appropriations\nfor this sub-heading amount to EUR 21.841 billion. This amount is\nup by 2.5% compared to the 2017 budget, mainly due to increases in\nsupport of the Common Strategic Framework for Research and\nInnovation, the European Interconnection Mechanism and Erasmus +.\nThere remains a margin of EUR 56.1 million, after recourse to the\noverall margin for commitments, of EUR 658.4 million.\nPayment appropriations increase by 3.9% to EUR 20 billion;
\n\n· \n1.b Economic, social and territorial\ncohesion: commitment appropriations\nincrease by 2.4% to EUR 55.408 billion, leaving a margin of EUR 6.5\nmillion. In line with the political agreement reached on the MFF\nmid-term review, an amount of EUR 233 million is proposed for the\nYouth Employment Initiative in 2018. Payment appropriations for the\nheading as a whole have increased by 25.7% compared to the budget\nfor 2017 rising to EUR 46.763 billion;
\nHeading 2: Sustainable Growth: Natural\nResources: Commitment\nappropriations amounting to EUR 59.553 billion are proposed for\nthis heading, an increase of 1.7% compared to 2017. The level of\nexpenditure leaves a margin of EUR 713.5 million below the ceiling.\nPayment appropriations amount to EUR 56.36 billion, an increase of\n2.6% compared to 2017. The financing of market-related expenditure\nand direct payments amounted to EUR 43.5 billion in commitment\nappropriations and EUR 43.47 billion in payment\nappropriations.
\nHeading 3: Security and citizenship:\ngiven the scale of the challenges, the\nCommission proposes to continue to make a major effort in 2018 to\nfinance migration and security-related expenditure in Heading 3.\nThe level of commitment appropriations amounted to EUR 3.473\nbillion, i.e. EUR 817 million above the ceiling. There is therefore\nno margin under this heading, which will require the\nmobilisation of the flexibility instrument, the envelope of\nwhich has been increased as part of the MFF mid-term review, in\norder to cover all the needs of heading 3 in 2018 (EUR 817\nmillion). Payment appropriations amount to EUR 2.964 billion. The\nlevel of commitments and payments is lower (-18.9% for commitments\nand -21.7% for payments) than for the 2017 budget, which was very\nhigh, due to the need for an urgent response to\nmigration.
\nHeading 4: Europe in the world:\ncommitments amounting to EUR 9,593 billion are\nenvisaged. By 2017, the Commission had mobilised EUR 730 million\nunder the contingency margin in favour of this heading. For 2018,\nit is proposed to leave a margin of EUR 232 million to cover new\nneeds that might still arise, such as the possible extension of\nthe refugee facility in Turkey, for the Commission will perhaps\nneed to submit a letter of amendment to the draft budget or an\namending budget. The commitment appropriations for 2018 therefore\ncorrespond to a decrease of EUR -569.1 million, or -5.6%, compared\nwith the budget for 2017. The level of payment appropriations,\namounting to EUR 8.951 billion, is down -5.6%, reflecting the\nabsence of any arrears of outstanding commitments under this\nheading;
\nHeading 5: Administration (expenditure of the European\ninstitutions and staff): Commitment and payment\nappropriations for heading 5, 'Administration', including all\ninstitutions, including European pensions and schools, have each\nincreased by 3.1% with commitments amounting to EUR 9.682 billion.\nThe draft budget includes adjustments made by the Commission to\nensure a better match between the draft estimates of expenditure\nfor the Court of Justice, the European Economic and Social\nCommittee and the European Committee of the Regions. The margin\nunder the ceiling of heading 5 amounts to EUR 663.6 million, of\nwhich EUR 570 million compensate for the recourse in the 2017\nbudget to the contingency margin for expenditure under heading 3\nrelating to migration. The margin for 2018 still\navailable amounts to EUR 93.6 million.
\nOn 4 September 2017, the Council adopted its position\non the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial\nyear 2018.
\nThe Council provides EUR 158 917.3 million in\ncommitment appropriations and EUR 144 429.56 million in payment\nappropriations. This represents an increase of 0.63% and 7.39%\nrespectively compared to the 2017 EU budget.
\nThe significant increase in payments reflects the fact\nthat the 2014-2020 programmes will be at an advanced stage of\nimplementation.
\nThe total amount of payment appropriations provided\nfor in the Council's position on the DB for 2018 corresponds to\n0.92% of the EU gross national income (GNI).
\nA. Principles: when adopting its\nposition, the Council took into account the following\nprinciples:
\nAdministrative expenditure: the Council acknowledged the efforts made to reach\nthe -5% staff reduction target. It insisted that a proper\nassessment of the outcome of the 5% staff reduction exercise be\ncarried out.
\nIn order to ensure an appropriate level of\nadministrative expenditure and the proper functioning of the\ninstitutions, the Council adopted the following\napproach:
\nDecentralised agencies:\nthe Council suggested reducing the overall level of contributions\nfrom the Union budget by EUR 5 million in commitment and\npayment appropriations. Agencies which did not fully implement the\ncontributions received from the Union budget in the past and/or for\nwhich the absorption capacities could be lower than the forecasts\nmade by the Commission would be affected by those\nreductions.
\nPayment appropriations:\nthe Council will carefully examine the letter of\namendment for agriculture (including information on assigned\nrevenue) in order to appropriately assess the level of resources\nunder heading 2 (Sustainable growth: natural resources) in the 2018\nbudget.
\nThe\nCouncil also called on the Commission to:
\nB. Expenditure by main MFF\nheadings:
\nHeading 1: Smart and inclusive growth: EUR 76 499 million in\ncommitments and EUR 66 415 million in payments, up by 2.1% and 17.5% respectively compared to\n2017.
\n1a) Competitiveness for growth and\njobs: the amount is set at EUR 21 091 million in\ncommitments, a decrease of 1.04% compared to 2017.
\nThe\nsub-heading is characterised by the following elements:
\nThe\nreductions envisaged would involve a number of specific budget\nlines in the following areas:
\nThe\nmargin available under sub-heading 1a would be EUR 806.05\nmillion.
\n1b) Economic, social and territorial\ncohesion: the Council provided EUR 55 407 million in\ncommitments, an increase of 3.4% compared to 2017.
\nOther main features of this sub-heading\ninclude:
\nThe\nmargin available under sub-heading 1b would be EUR 6.45\nmillion.
\nHeading 2: Sustainable growth: natural\nresources: EUR 59 278 million in\ncommitments. This is an increase of 1.18% to 2017.
\nThe heading is characterised by the following\nelements:
\nReductions would be made as regards administrative\nsupport, operational technical assistance and operational lines\nunder:
\nThe\nmargin available under heading 2 would be EUR 988.48\nmillion.
\nHeading 3: Security and citizenship: the amount of this heading is set at EUR\n3 442 million in appropriations and sees an increase of\n19.65% compared to the 2017 budget.
\nThis heading is characterised by the\nfollowing:
\nThe\nmargin available under heading 3 would be equal to\nzero. The Flexibility Instrument is mobilised for an amount\nof EUR 786.24 million in commitment appropriations.
\nHeading 4: Global Europe: the Council lays down an amount of EUR 9 503\nmillion in commitments, a decrease of 6.49% compared to 2017.\nIt also decided to:
\nThe margin available under heading 4 would be\nEUR 321.95 million.
\nHeading 5: Administrative expenditure: the administrative expenditure amounts to EUR 9\n627 million, a decrease of 2.51% compared to 2017. As regards\nstaff levels, the Council accepted the establishment plans as\nproposed by the Commission in the DB for 2018.
\nThe\nmargin available under heading 5 would be EUR 148.58\nmillion.
\nSpecial instruments: the\nCouncil maintained the appropriations\nentered in the DB for 2018 for the Emergency Aid Reserve and the\nEuropean Union Globalisation Adjustment Fund. Moreover, it did not\ninclude any amount in the reserve for the European Union Solidarity\nFund (-EUR 524.0 million in commitment appropriations, -EUR 200.0\nmillion in payment appropriations).
\nThe Committee on Budgets adopted the joint report by\nSiegfried MUREŞAN (EPP, RO) (Section III Commission)\nand Richard ASHWORTH (ECR, UK) (other sections) on the Council\nposition on the draft general budget of the European Union for the\nfinancial year 2018.
\nPolitical priorities:\nMembers stressed that Parliaments reading of the 2018 budget\nfully reflects the political priorities adopted by an\noverwhelming majority in its resolution of 15 March 2017 on general\nguidelines and of 5 July 2017 on a mandate for the trilogue. They\nrecalled that sustainable growth, jobs, in particular youth\nemployment, security and climate change are at the core of those\npriorities.
\nHowever, given that the Union continues to face\nnumerous challenges, the necessary financial resources must be\ndeployed from the Union budget, in order to meet the political\npriorities and allow the Union to deliver concrete answers and\neffectively respond to those challenges. Union spending should be\nbased on the principle of European added value and should\nrespect the principle of subsidiarity.
\nProposed cuts: Members\nfailed to understand how the Union can achieve progress\nconsidering the EUR 750 million cuts proposed by the Council\nunder subheading 1a. They proposed instead to additionally\nreinforce research and innovation programmes that have a very\nhigh implementation rate and which, due to oversubscription, are\nfaced with a particularly low success rate for\napplications.
\nMembers remained committed to its pledges made during\nthe EFSI negotiations, namely to minimise the impact of\nEFSI-related cuts on Horizon 2020 and the Connecting Europe\nFacility (CEF) in the framework of the annual budgetary procedure.\nThey proposed to offset those cuts by restoring the\noriginal annual profile of those two programmes, in order to\nallow them to fully accomplish the objectives agreed during the\nadoption of the relevant legislation.
\nMoreover, they expressed their political support for\nthe establishment of the European\nSolidarity Corps (ESC) and welcomed the legislative proposal\nput forward in this regard by the Commission. However, pending a\ndecision on the financing of the ESC and the adoption of the\nrelevant regulation under the ordinary legislative procedure, no\nfinancial provision should be entered for this purpose in the 2018\nbudget. They proposed, therefore, that relevant appropriations\nand redeployments, entered by the Commission in the Draft Budget\n2018 (DB), should be for the moment reversed, as the\ndecision on the 2018 budget should not prejudge in any way the\noutcome of the legislative negotiations.
\nStrengthening policies:\nconcerned by the fact that youth unemployment remains at\nunprecedented levels, Members recommended reinforcing the Youth\nEmployment Initiative (YEI) beyond the level proposed by the\nCommission for 2018. They proposed to bring the YEI to EUR 600\nmillion in commitments in 2018.
\nMembers stated that, while at present the peak of\nthe migratory and refugee crisis seems to have decreased, the\nCommission is urged to continuously monitor the adequacy of\nallocations under Heading 3 (Security and Citizenship) and make\nfull use of all available instruments under the current MFF to\nrespond in a timely manner to any unforeseen event that might\nrequire additional funding. They proposed reinforcing in a\nlimited manner the Asylum\nMigration and Integration Fund and the Internal\nSecurity Fund, as well as the agencies with responsibilities in\nthe field of asylum, such as the European Asylum Support Office\n(EASO). Overall, Heading 3 is reinforced by EUR 108.8\nmillion in commitment appropriations above the DB.
\nAs regards climate, Members regretted that the\nCommission has failed to put forward concrete and realistic\nproposals to achieve the Paris Agreement goals. Therefore, they\nproposed to increase above the level of the DB for climate-related\nactions and for the Commission to present all the necessary\nproposals to reach the goals in the forthcoming draft\nbudgets.
\nAs the Unions external action is faced with ever\ngrowing funding needs which greatly exceed the current size of\nHeading 4, Members considered that the mobilisation of the Union\nbudget to respond to the migration challenge will continue to\nrequire dynamic responses in the coming years. Therefore, Members\nsuggested reversing almost all of the Councils cuts and\nreinforcing Heading 4 by EUR 299.7 million above the DB in\ncommitment appropriations.
\nOn administration in general, Members\nconsidered that Councils cuts do not reflect the real\nneeds and thus jeopardise the already significantly\nrationalised administrative expenditure. They suggested restoring\nthe DB for all Commission administrative expenditure, including\nadministrative and research support expenditure in Headings 1 to\n4.
\nMembers set the overall level of appropriations for\n2018 at EUR 162 597 930 901 in commitment appropriations and\nEUR 146 712 004 932 in payment appropriations.
\nMembers went on to make a series of observations and\nrecommendations under each sub-heading of the budget and each Union\ninstitution, in line with their general budgetary views.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 414 votes to 163,\nwith 90 abstentions, a resolution on the Council position on the\ndraft general budget of the European Union for the financial year\n2018.
\nIt set the overall amount of appropriations for 2018\nat:
\nPolitical priorities:\nMembers stressed that Parliaments reading of the 2018 budget\nfully reflects the political priorities adopted by an overwhelming\nmajority in its resolution of 15 March 2017 on general guidelines\nand of 5 July 2017 on a mandate for the trilogue. They recalled\nthat sustainable growth, jobs, in particular youth employment,\nsecurity and climate change are at the core of those\npriorities.
\nHowever, given that the Union continues to face\nnumerous challenges, the necessary financial resources must be\ndeployed from the Union budget, in order to meet the political\npriorities and allow the Union to deliver concrete answers and\neffectively respond to those challenges. Union spending should be\nbased on the principle of European added value and should respect\nthe principle of subsidiarity.
\nProposed cuts:\nreaffirming its commitment to financing Union policies that enhance\njobs and growth in all its regions through investment in research,\neducation, infrastructure, SMEs and employment, in particular youth\nemployment, Parliament failed to understand how the Union can\nachieve progress in those fields considering the EUR 750 million\ncuts proposed by the Council under subheading 1a. It decided\ninstead to additionally reinforce research and innovation\nprogrammes that have a very high implementation rate and which, due\nto oversubscription, are faced with a particularly low success rate\nfor applications.
\nIt remained committed to its pledges made during the\nEuropean Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) negotiations, namely\nto minimise the impact of EFSI-related cuts on Horizon 2020 and the\nConnecting Europe Facility (CEF) in the framework of the annual\nbudgetary procedure. It proposed to offset those cuts by restoring\nthe original annual profile of those two programmes, in order to\nallow them to fully accomplish the objectives agreed during the\nadoption of the relevant legislation.
\nMoreover, Members expressed their political support\nfor the establishment of the European\nSolidarity Corps (ESC) and welcomed the legislative proposal\nput forward in this regard by the Commission. However, pending a\ndecision on the financing of the ESC and the adoption of the\nrelevant regulation under the ordinary legislative procedure, no\nfinancial provision should be entered for this purpose in the 2018\nbudget. They proposed, therefore, that relevant appropriations and\nredeployments, entered by the Commission in the Draft Budget 2018\n(DB), should be for the moment reversed, as the decision on the\n2018 budget should not prejudge in any way the outcome of the\nlegislative negotiations.
\nStrengthening policies:\nParliament underlined that the following policies should be\nenhanced:
\nCompetitiveness for growth and jobs, Parliament rejected Councils unjustified EUR 750 million\ncuts to subheading 1a, which alone represent almost two thirds\nof the overall Council cuts in commitments in MFF headings. It\nstressed that such cuts contradict Councils own stated\npolitical priorities. Parliament decided, therefore, to further\nreinforce beyond the DB and the pre-EFSI and pre-ESC profiles those\nprogrammes that are key to boosting growth and jobs and that\nreflect widely agreed Union priorities, namely Erasmus+, Horizon\n2020 (Marie Curie, European Research Council, SME Instrument),\nCOSME, and EaSI (Progress and Eures).
\nMoreover, it called for a defence research\nprogramme with a dedicated budget within the next Multiannual\nFinancial Framework. Members also proposed that increased resources\nshould be allocated in the framework of the 2018 Budget in order to\nconduct a comprehensive and unbiased assessment of the risk posed\nby third countries in terms of their strategic deficiencies in the\narea of anti-money laundering and countering terrorist\nfinancing and to establish a list of 'high-risk'\njurisdictions.
\nAdequate resources should also be allocated to the\nEuropean Union Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal\ntesting (EURL ECVAM) to effectively perform its duties and\ntasks.
\nAs a result, Parliament increased the level of\ncommitment appropriations for subheading 1a above the DB by\nEUR 143.9 million.
\nEconomic, social and territorial\ncohesion, Parliament disapproved\nof Council's proposed cuts of EUR 240 million in payments\nunder subheading 1b, including on support lines and reverses them,\npending updated forecasts from the Commission. It is especially\nconcerned by the fact that youth unemployment remains at\nunprecedented levels and recommended reinforcing the Youth\nEmployment Initiative (YEI) beyond the level proposed by the\nCommission for 2018. It proposed bringing the YEI to EUR 600\nmillion in commitments in 2018.
\nSecurity and citizenship: Members stated that, while at present the peak of\nthe migratory and refugee crisis seems to have decreased, the\nCommission is urged to continuously monitor the adequacy of\nallocations under Heading 3 (Security and Citizenship) and make\nfull use of all available instruments under the current MFF to\nrespond in a timely manner to any unforeseen event that might\nrequire additional funding. They proposed reinforcing in a\nlimited manner the Asylum\nMigration and Integration Fund and the Internal\nSecurity Fund, as well as the agencies with responsibilities in\nthe field of asylum, such as the European Asylum Support Office\n(EASO). Overall, Heading 3 is reinforced by EUR 108.8\nmillion in commitment appropriations above the DB.
\nMembers are in favour of the creation of a new\nbudget line for a Search and Rescue Fund to support Member\nStates in their obligations under international maritime law. The\nCommission is called upon to present a legislative proposal to set\nup such an EU Search and Rescue Fund.
\nGlobal Europe: as\nthe Unions external action is faced with ever growing funding\nneeds which greatly exceed the current size of Heading 4,\nParliament considered that the mobilisation of the Union budget to\nrespond to the migration challenge will continue to require dynamic\nresponses in the coming years. Therefore, Members suggested\nreversing almost all of the Councils cuts and reinforcing\nHeading 4 by EUR 299.7 million above the DB in commitment\nappropriations.
\nParliament also expressed grave concern at the rise of\ninstability and uncertainty both within and outside the Union. It\ninsisted on the need for a renewed focus on the Unions\napproach to cohesion, integration, peace, sustainable development\nand human rights. The Commission and the Member States are urged to\nboost efforts towards further sustaining peace and conflict\nprevention. In this context, it recalled the worldwide\ninspiration brought by the Good Friday Agreement while\nacknowledging the unprecedented challenges and pressures in the\naftermath of the United Kingdom 2016 Referendum. Parliament called\nupon the Commission and Member States to enhance their support for\nreconciliation to secure peace and stability in Ireland.
\nOn administration in general, Parliament considered that\nCouncils cuts do not reflect the real needs and thus\njeopardise the already significantly rationalised administrative\nexpenditure. It suggested restoring the DB for all Commission\nadministrative expenditure, including administrative and research\nsupport expenditure in Headings 1 to 4.
\nDecentralised Agencies:\nParliament welcomed the inclusion of adequate resources provided\nfor in the 2018 budget to support the European Supervisory\nAuthorities (ESAs). It emphasised, however, that in the interest of\na prudent use of their budgets, the ESAs must stick to the tasks\nand to the mandate assigned to them by the Union\nlegislator.
\nSpecial instruments:\nParliament called for an increase in the Emergency Aid Reserve\n(EAR) and the EU Solidarity Fund (EUSF) in light of the most recent\nand tragic disasters, namely the fires and extreme drought in\nPortugal and Spain.
\nMembers went on to make a series of more specific\nobservations and recommendations under each sub-heading of the\nbudget and each Union institution, in line with their general\nbudgetary views.
