CONTENT: the present draft amending budget (DAB) No
2/2017 is intended to enter in the budget 2017 the surplus
resulting from the implementation of the budget year
2016.
As provided for in the Financial Regulation applicable
to the general budget of the Union, it is the only subject of this
DAB and it has to be submitted within 15 days following the
submission of the provisional accounts at end of March
2017.
Surplus: the
implementation of the budget year 2016 shows a surplus of EUR 6
404 529 791,03 (excluding the outturn of contributions received
from European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries part of the
European Economic Area (EEA) agreement), which is therefore
entered as revenue in the 2017 budget.
The budgeting of the surplus will diminish accordingly
the global contribution of the Member States to the financing of
the 2017 EU budget.
The final contributions by Member States 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 which will
be available after the Advisory Committee on Own Resources (ACOR)
meeting in May 2017.
