    PURPOSE: to present the Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 2/2018 entering the surplus for the financial year 2017. CONTENT: the aim of this DAB is to enter in the 2018 budget the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2017. As provided for in the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the Union, the surplus 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 2018. The implementation of the budget year 2017 shows a surplus of EUR 555 542 325, which is therefore entered as revenue in the 2018 budget. The budgeting of the surplus will diminish accordingly the global contribution of the Member States to the financing of the 2018 budget. The 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 meeting in May 2018 and included in a subsequent Draft Amending Budget. The implementation by the Commission reached 99.9 % of the authorised payment appropriations. The amount not implemented was EUR 201 million, of which EUR 99 million of the Emergency Aid Reserve. The under-implementation of the other institutions of EUR 83 million was lower than in previous two years (EUR 103 million in 2016 and EUR 94 million in 2015).

2018/2057(BUD) 2018/05/31 BUDG 2 amendments... Amendment 1 # André ELISSEN, Marco ZANNI Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Notes, once again, the relatively high level of competition fines in 2017, totalling EUR 3 273 million; considers that, besides any surplus resulting from under-implementation, the Union budget should be enabled to reuse any revenue resulting from fines or linked to late payments without a corresponding decrease in GNI contributions; recalls its proposal for a special reserve to be establishaccording to the existing rules, revenue resulting from fines or linked to late payments should not be reused inby the Union budget, which will be progressively filled up by all types of unforeseen other revenue and duly carried over in order to provide additional spending possibilities when the need arise and should instead be used to decrease national GNI contributions; Amendment 2 # Eider GARDIAZABAL RUBIAL, Daniele VIOTTI Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Believes that, given the urgent need to provide a quick response to the migration challenge as well as to the difficulties that Parliament and the Council are already facing in agreeing on a first proposal for the extension of the Facility for Refugees in Turkey, the 2017 surplus, amounting to EUR 555,5 million, provides an excellent solution to finance the Union contribution to this instrument for 2018 without taking the Union general budget to its limits; source: 622.319
