1.   SUMMARY

SUMMARY

As in the previous year, 2011 was a year of fundamental changes for Section II of the EU budget. The creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS), as foreseen in the Treaty of Lisbon, reduced the expenditure foreseen for the functioning of the European Council and the Council.

The letter of amendment (12749/1/10) to the draft budget for the financial year 2011 for the European Council and Council reduced the resources of Section II by 411 establishment plan posts and EUR 79,7 million in terms of appropriations. These resources and related activities were transferred as the Council’s contribution to the establishment of the EEAS.

In 2011, the General Secretariat (GSC) continued the process of its administrative modernisation. In this context, the GSC transferred its Sickness Insurance Antenna to the PMO of the Commission. The project for the Europa Building passed from the consolidation phase to the actual construction work.

The European Council and Council budget 2011 was established at EUR 563,3 million. At the end of the financial year 2011 an amount of EUR 506,8 million was committed (corresponding to an implementation rate of 90 %).

The main reasons for the under-spending of EUR 56,4 million are:

| — | under-spending of the delegations’ travel envelopes (EUR 20,9 million), |

—

under-spending of the delegations’ travel envelopes (EUR 20,9 million),

| — | under-occupation of the establishment plan and lower salary costs (EUR 9,1 million), |

| — | fewer needs in fitting-out works in the Council buildings (EUR 2,2 million). |
| --- | --- |

—

fewer needs in fitting-out works in the Council buildings (EUR 2,2 million).

The implementation of amounts carried over from 2010 to 2011 totalled EUR 40,2 million out of EUR 49,8 million. The objective remains to further increase the implementation of the carried over amounts.

The GSC’s revenue operations in 2011 amounted to EUR 128,6 million. From this amount EUR 117,5 million was recovered during the financial year while the rest will be recovered in 2012.

More than half (EUR 62,4 million, or 53 %) of these recovered revenues are related to the Community taxes, levies and dues which were collected from the GSC’s staff in 2011. An amount of EUR 54 million is related to different administrative operations of the GSC. This amount includes a transfer of EUR 18,6 million from the EEAS to the GSC, which are advance payments for the services that the GSC provided in 2011 to the EEAS. The remaining EUR 1,1 million relates to various contributions and repayments under community agreements.

The biggest source (72 %) in the assigned revenue in 2011 was the delegation’s travel expenses. Based on their declarations an amount of EUR 26,2 million was recovered as a result of the delegations’ under-spending in 2010.

The assigned revenue accrued before 2011 amounted to EUR 30,7 million. By the end of the financial year 98 % (EUR 30,2 million) had been used.

2.   INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

This report is based, in conformity with Article 128 of the Financial Regulation, on the accounts for 2011, the findings in the annual activity reports of the Council’s authorising officers and the budget implementation information from the Council’s financial system.

The report responds also to the obligations of Article 122 of the Financial Regulation and Article 185 of the Implementing Rules providing an overview of budgetary and financial management in the Council in 2011.

Chapter 3 of this report presents a summary of the framework which was established for the financial year 2011. A global overview of the implementation of the budget appropriations available in 2011 is given in Chapter 4.

The implementation of the budget 2011 by budget line is presented in a table in the Annex.

3.2.1.   General approach

General approach

The establishment of the budget 2011 for the European Council and Council (ECC hereafter) was based on two separate procedures in 2010:

| (1) | the draft budget 2011 in May; and |
| --- | --- |

(1)

the draft budget 2011 in May; and

| (2) | an amending letter to the draft budget 2011 in September in view of the creation of the European External Action Service as a new EU institution on 1 January 2011. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

an amending letter to the draft budget 2011 in September in view of the creation of the European External Action Service as a new EU institution on 1 January 2011.

| Ad (1) | The 2011 ECC budget was based on the objective of not increasing appropriations in real terms except for the preparation of the accession of Croatia. The GSC has not introduced requests for new staff, except for of the cabinet of the President of the European Council. This approach implied that new initiatives or need for additional resources would have to be covered by reductions in other areas. |

Transfer of resources to the European External Action Service.

The Treaty of the European Union provides the creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS hereafter). The establishment of the EEAS budget was set by the Amending Letter No 1 to the draft general budget 2011.

The amending letter transferred resources from the Commission and the Council to EEAS with additional new staff and financial resources. For the Council this implied a transfer of 411 establishment plan posts and EUR 79,7 million to the EEAS.

This amount was composed of the following elements:

| — | staff related expenditure: EUR 45,9 million, |
| --- | --- |

—

staff related expenditure: EUR 45,9 million,

| — | buildings, equipment and operating expenditure: EUR 6,0 million, |

3.2.2.   Budget 2011

Budget 2011

The budget authority established the overall ECC budget 2011 at EUR 563,3 million.

The difference of EUR 70,3 million (– 11 %) compared to the 2010 budget breaks down as follows:

| — | transfer of resources to the EEAS, EUR 79,7 million, |
| --- | --- |

—

transfer of resources to the EEAS, EUR 79,7 million,

| — | a nominal increase of EUR 8,9 million (1), |
| --- | --- |

—

a nominal increase of EUR 8,9 million (1),

—

increase of EUR 2,1 million related to the preparation of the enlargement of Croatia,

| — | a reduction in the budget in real terms of EUR 1,6 million. |
| --- | --- |

—

a reduction in the budget in real terms of EUR 1,6 million.

The establishment plan 2011 of the ECC was increased by 12 posts. The President’s Private Office was reinforced by 11 posts. In addition to this, the Commission transferred 1 post back to the ECC after the OIB decided that it would no longer be in charge of the management of the Council crèche.

Table 1 gives an overview of how the budget 2011 was established by category. Without the impact of the transfer of resources to the EEAS and the supplementary appropriation related to the preparation of the accession of Croatia the nominal increase for the ECC budget was 1,1 % from 2010 to 2011. Given the estimated inflation for 2011 the ECC budget was actually reduced in real terms by 0,6 %.

As a result of prudent budget management, reductions in the Council’s share were gradually achieved in 2007, 2008, 2009 and also in 2010, when the additional amounts related to the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon could be budgeted without increasing the share of Section II of the EU budget. In 2011, the reduction in the share is mainly due to the transfer of resources to the EEAS.

Another quantitative indicator of activities is the legal acts published in the Official Journal (OJ) (Table 4). In 2011, 986 legal acts were published in the OJ. It should be noted that the volume of the legal acts depends on the finalisation of the legislative process before the acts can be elaborated into final texts for publishing in the OJ.

4.1.2.   Achievements of administrative objectives in 2011

Achievements of administrative objectives in 2011

Achievement of the objectives established for the budget year 2011 may be summarised as follows:

| — | support for the President of the European Council and Council

  In 2011, the President’s Private Office was reinforced by 11 officials with an objective to provide more support for the President of the European Council. |

| — | Consolidation of the organisation

  The ECC establishment plan was reduced by 411 posts due to the transfer of resources to the EEAS. During the year, the GSC recruited 179 officials (150 permanent officials and 29 temporary agents) whereas 132 officials and 29 temporary agents left the Council. As a result the net occupancy in the ECC’s establishment plan increased by 18 posts. |

| — | Administrative modernisation

  In order to fill short-term gaps in staffing (e.g. long-term illnesses, maternity leave, etc.) the GSC increased considerably the provision for compensatory recruitment. This provision provided the GSC the possibility to recruit a maximum of 55 contractual agents in 2011.
  As a response to the need to find synergies and efficiency gains between the institutions, the GSC and the PMO of the Commission agreed to transfer the activities of the GSC Sickness Insurance Antenna to the PMO from 1 August 2011. As a result, the ECC establishment plan can be reduced by 9 posts, and replaced by contractual agents in the PMO. The modification of resources has been included in the 2012 budget. |

| — | Adaptation to the consequences of the creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS)

  The creation of the EEAS implied the transfer of 411 establishment plan posts and EUR 79,7 million from the ECC budget to the EEAS.
  In addition, the GSC was committed to a successful launch of the EEAS. The main means by which the GSC provided support to the EEAS was via Service Level Agreements (SLA).
  There were two types of SLAs. Temporary SLAs covered the services that the EEAS was not able to provide in 2011 (specific IT support, security, conference services/protocol activities, medical service, crèche and the management of certain contracts related to the buildings transferred to the EEAS). The EEAS has transferred the necessary resources to the GSC (totalling EUR 18,6 million) after which the GSC was in a position to continue with the envisaged activities.
  Structural SLAs covered services that the EEAS was not intending to develop itself, like the translation of documents. This service was rendered without a charge as long as it stayed below the agreed volume. |

4.2.   Revenue

Revenue

Table 5 gives an overview of the global outcome of revenue operations in 2011. The total volume of revenue operations in terms of established rights, i.e. issued recovery orders, was EUR 28 million more than in 2010. From this amount EUR 26,3 million relates to the revenue accruing from the administrative operations of the institution including a transfer of EUR 18,6 million from the EEAS to the Council. This amount financed the services the GSC provided to the EEAS in 2011.

The rest of the increase, EUR 1,7 million, is explained by a higher amount collected as miscellaneous community taxes, levies and dues.

4.2.2.   Revenue accrued before 2011

Revenue accrued before 2011

In respect of outstanding recovery orders, an amount of EUR 7,6 million was carried over for recovery from 2010 to 2011. The amount carried over was 14 % higher than the year before. The increase is mainly related to the growing number of transfers of pension rights to the EU pension scheme.

As shown in Table 7, EUR 6,7 million (88 %) of the outstanding amount was recovered in 2011 while EUR 0,9 million was carried over to 2012.

4.3.1.   Overview of implementation of the budget in 2004-11

Overview of implementation of the budget in 2004-11

The global implementation rate of the Council/ECC budget has been on average 96 % over the past eight years (Graph 1). In 2009, the Council budget was reduced by amending budget No 10/2009 to the EU budget by EUR 40 million. The amount was transferred as the Council’s contribution to the European Economic Recovery Plan (EERP).

amending budget No 10/2009 to the EU budget

As can be seen in Graph 1, the payments during the financial year have increased in recent years whereas the overall amounts carried over to the following financial year have diminished. The reduction of the budget in 2011 is a result of transfer of resources from the Council to the EEAS.

Graph 1

The appropriations carried over break down into two major categories: functioning and buildings. The first is related to obligations duly contracted before the end of the budget year but where the goods have not been delivered yet and/or for which no invoices were received before the end of the year.

The second category refers to the GSC’s acquisition of buildings such as LEX, the crèche and the Europa Building. In the last few years, the GSC has been able to use the savings made during the budget implementation to finance these acquisitions. This in turn has significantly reduced the overall cost of the building projects, especially in terms of interest payments.

In 2011, two payments were made for the acquisition of the Europa Building: the first in February of EUR 15 million and the second in December of EUR 10 million.

The analysis of expenditure in 2011 is presented at a level of the 11 most significant expenditure categories.

Table 8 compares the final budget after transfers (column 2) with the outturn of the budget in terms of commitments (column 3). The difference between the final budget and the committed appropriations corresponds to the amounts not used during the budget year 2011.

The global implementation rate for 2011, including the advance payments for the Europa Building, is 90 %.

The difference between the initial budget estimates and implementation can be explained as follows:

| — | Due to the low occupation rate of posts in the establishment plan (on average 92 % (5) an amount of EUR 7,3 million was not spent. |

From this amount EUR 1 million corresponds to the supplementary appropriation provided for the preparation of the accession of Croatia. Since the planned date for the accession was transferred to later in 2013, the GSC used only EUR 0,35 million from the original supplement of EUR 1,35 million foreseen for this purpose in 2011.
  As for other savings, EUR 1,9 million relates to mission costs, whereas reduced needs for social and medical services account for EUR 0,1 million. |

| — | The global implementation of the building related expenditure (in Title II, without the Europa Building) resulted in a saving of EUR 2,2 million. From this amount EUR 1,2 million is related to the rescheduling of certain fitting-out and installation works to 2012. Smaller need for repairs accounts for EUR 0,4 million while lower payments on surveillance and prevention make up a saving of EUR 0,3 million. |

In 2011, the ECC budget was internally modified by 23 B-transfers based on Article 22(4) of the FR. Even though these transfers do not require prior notification of the budget authority, they have to be duly justified, both for the lines to which the appropriations are to be transferred and for those from which they are to be taken.

Table 10 gives an overview of the budget lines which were significantly (7) modified in 2011 by different transfers.

The available amount at the end of the financial year 2011 continued to decrease and was 66 % (EUR 1,2 million) lower than in 2010.

The most significant part (72 %) of assigned revenue is related to the delegations’ travel expenses (EUR 26,6 million). The amount of EUR 3,7 million in interpretation comes from the top-up payments on certain languages.

The remainder is mainly related to reimbursement of amounts by other institutions on various activities and systems, such as participation to the common financial system with the Council, contribution to occupied places in the Council crèche and other contributions and refunds connected with the administrative operations of the Council.
