I.   INTRODUCTION

In accordance with Article 249 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) (Financial Regulation — FR), this document constitutes a report on the budgetary and financial management of Section II of the EU budget (European Council and Council) for the 2022 financial year.

The report is based on the provisional accounts for 2022, the findings of the annual activity reports of the Council’s authorising officers and information on budget implementation from the Council’s financial system.

Chapter II of this report presents a summary of the framework which was established for the 2022 financial year. An overview of the implementation of the budget appropriations available in 2022 is given in Chapter III.

The implementation of the 2022 budget by budget line is presented in the Annex.

II.   OBJECTIVES AND BUDGET FOR THE 2022 FINANCIAL YEAR

A.   Main financial objectives

The main financial objectives of the General Secretariat of the Council (GSC) for 2022 were:

| — | to ensure decision-making could continue in the European Council and the Council and that a gradual return to pre-pandemic levels of activity was possible; |

B.   Establishment of the budget for the European Council and Council in 2022

(I)   
  General approach

The establishment of the 2022 budget for the European Council and Council (hereinafter EC/C) was based on the general objective of not exceeding, in nominal terms, the overall level of the 2021 budget for non-salary-related expenditure by over 2 %, while the budget for salary-related expenditure was calculated according to the guidance provided by the European Commission

Increases in areas of spending related to statutory or contractual obligations, or in areas considered essential for the proper functioning of the GSC, have been offset by efficiency gains and by prioritising and reprogramming certain projects.

In staffing, the GSC continued to streamline the organisation by implementing the following actions:

| — | transforming 1 AD post into 1 AST post, 25 AST posts into 25 AD posts and 10 AST posts into 10 SC posts as part of the continuation of the administrative modernisation, with a budget-neutral effect; |
| --- | --- |

—

transforming 1 AD post into 1 AST post, 25 AST posts into 25 AD posts and 10 AST posts into 10 SC posts as part of the continuation of the administrative modernisation, with a budget-neutral effect;

| — | adapting the flat-rate reduction to 4 % reflecting a more efficient organisation of filling vacant posts. |

(II)   
  2022 Budget

The budget authority established the overall 2022 EC/C budget at EUR 611,5 million. This represents an increase of EUR 17,1 million (+2,9 %) compared with 2021.

The number of posts in the establishment plan for 2022 for the EC/C was fixed at 3 029.

Table 1 gives an overview of the 2022 budget by category.

III.   GLOBAL OVERVIEW OF BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION IN 2022

A.   Activities and objectives of the European Council and Council in 2022

Within the framework of the financial activity report, the GSC provides information on its core activities which are relevant from a financial point of view, and describes the functioning of the European Council and Council over the financial year. The report also highlights the principal achievements of the year.

(I)   
  Meetings

Table 3 gives an overview of the evolution of the number of meetings organised by the GSC for the European Council and Council between 2018 and 2022. A new methodology has been put in place for 2022: meetings such as seminars, information sessions and briefings are no longer included in the statistics. The figures for previous years have been adapted accordingly.

Institutional meetings in 2022 returned to pre-pandemic levels in terms of the total number of meetings organised. Physical meetings increased by 158 % compared to 2021. This increase was balanced to some extent by a decrease in the number of meetings held through video-conference or in hybrid mode (to a level of around 25 % of the previous year’s number).

On 17 and 18 February 2022 the GSC hosted the sixth European Union (EU) — African Union (AU) summit, five years after the previous one held in 2017 in Abidjan. It represented a major achievement for the GSC, with more than a hundred delegations present, including 27 EU leaders, 39 African leaders and a significant number of guests. The summit was held in an innovative format, where EU and AU leaders participated in a series of thematic roundtables, which allowed for dynamic and frank exchanges on the challenges but also on possible solutions and joint actions.

Additionally, the Brussels VI Conference on supporting the future of Syria and the region was held in the Europa building on 10 May 2022 and the EU–Western Balkans Leaders Meeting took place on the morning of 23 June 2022, ahead of the June European Council and Euro Summit meeting in Brussels.

Towards the end of the year, the first ever summit between the leaders of EU and ASEAN Member States took place on 14 December 2022, to mark 45 years of diplomatic relations between the two organisations.

(II)   
  Legislative activities

Another quantitative indicator of activities is the number of legal acts published in the Official Journal (OJ) (Table 4). In 2022, 1 571 legal acts were published in the OJ. It should be noted that the publication of the legal acts in the OJ is the last step in the legislative process.

A gradual return to pre-pandemic conditions and various measures put in place following the Russian aggression against Ukraine explain the increase in number of legal acts published compared to previous years.

(III)   
  Administrative modernisation

In 2022, the GSC continued to improve the quality and efficiency of its internal organisation, focusing in particular on a gradual return to pre-pandemic conditions and levels of activity:

| — | Several GSC-specific IT tools were developed to modernise and digitalise key business processes related to Council decision-making. One of these IT tools is a new module in eConsilium that provides presidencies with a collaborative calendar for high-level meetings such as Council and Coreper. Another GSC-specific IT tool is Translation Management System (TMS), which allows all translation requests to be handled in a comprehensive, flexible and standardised manner. |

| — | The existing 360o feedback exercise, designed to provide managers with the insights they need for their continuous development from a multi-sided perspective, was extended to other officials who act as first reporting officers. In a 360o feedback exercise, views from the people officials work with (their team, key colleagues and hierarchy) are gathered. Each official uses the report to work on their professional development. |

(IV)   
  Achievement of objectives in 2022

Achievement of the objectives established for the 2022 budget year may be summarised as follows:

| — | Establishment plan

  On 1 January 2022, there were 2 912 occupied posts in the GSC. Following turnover during the year, on 31 December 2022 there were 2 924 occupied posts, representing a difference of 12 additional occupied posts in the EC/C Establishment Plan.
  NB: Occupied posts also include posts occupied by non-remunerated staff who occupy a post, in line with the definition laid down in the Staff Regulations. |

| — | Financial management

  In 2022, the GSC continued to further improve its financial management and performance. Several improvements in corporate financial governance were implemented, e.g.:






  — | Completion of the first full annual cycle of the new approach to management planning. The integrated management planning initiative aims to simplify the process for authorising officers and to encourage managers to take a more joined-up approach to setting objectives, planning their work activities and managing their human and financial resources. |

The internal website was reorganised to provide easier access to information on the budget process, financial procedures, document templates, financial training and modifications to the GSC’s financial IT system.

In the context of efforts to improve the cash flow position of European businesses, the average payment time for invoices at the GSC was 18 days in 2022, the maximum time limit being 30 calendar days (Directive 2011/7/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2)).

| — | Buildings policy

  The Council’s buildings policy is stable. Since 2004, the Council’s aim has been to ultimately accommodate all its activities and those of the European Council in Brussels in buildings which it owns, which are adapted to its needs and which are located near one another. This reorganisation was completed with the delivery of the Europa Building on 30 June 2016.
  The GSC is currently exploring new ways of working (NWOW), as recommended by the European Court of Auditors in its report ‘Office accommodation of EU institutions — Some good management practices but also various weaknesses’. A pilot project is underway in the Europa and Justus Lipsius buildings. An evaluation of the pilot project has been launched. An initial interim report has been produced. The final evaluation report will be presented in 2023.
  The GSC has also been assessing the impact of the digital transformation that has occurred, particularly during the COVID-19 period. The decisions that may be taken in this context could affect the GSC’s buildings and its buildings policy.
  In 2022, in order to face the unexpected dramatic increase in energy prices and to lower energy consumption, the general temperature in different parts of the buildings was adjusted. |

B.   Revenue

Table 5 gives an overview of the overall outcome of revenue operations in 2022. The term ‘Established rights 2021’ refers to recovery orders which were made in 2021 but for which the recovery of the amounts did not take place until 2022. The term ‘Established rights 2022’ refers to recoveries made in 2022.

(II)   
  Overview of implementation of the budget 2018–2022

Over the past five years (Graph 1), the overall implementation rate of the EC/C budget increased from 91,9 % to 97,9 %. The implementation rate refers to the commitments made during the budget year out of the available adopted budget.

The actual annual payments rate between 2018 and 2022 was 81,9 % of the budget on average. The difference between the overall implementation and payments in a given year (i.e. non-paid commitments) has been carried over, in accordance with Article 12(7) of the Financial Regulation, to the next budget year for payments. Expenditure for remunerations and allowances for members and staff of Union institutions cannot be carried over (Article 12(8) of the Financial Regulation).

Graph 1

Overall budget implementation for 2018–2022

For 2022, the appropriations carried over relate to obligations duly contracted before the end of the budget year but where the goods and services had not yet been delivered and/or no invoices had been received before the end of the year.

(III)   
  Implementation of appropriations by category in 2022

The analysis of expenditure in 2022 is presented in 14 expenditure categories.

Table 8 compares the final budget after transfers (column 2) with the budget outturn in terms of commitments (column 3). The difference between the final budget and the committed appropriations corresponds to the amounts not used in 2022 and therefore cancelled.

The overall implementation rate of the 2022 budget is 97,9 %. The difference between the final budget and implementation can be explained as follows:

| — | Total underspending in the establishment plan category is EUR 0,9 million (about 0,3 % of the final staff budget). This relatively small underspend results mainly from lower needs for various statutory entitlements (EUR 0,3 million) and for basic salaries (EUR 0,2 million). Other elements that explain the underspending are lower expenditure relating to social security (EUR 0,2 million) and for overtime (EUR 0,1 million). |

Other elements that explain the underspending are lower expenditure relating to social security (EUR 0,2 million) and for overtime (EUR 0,1 million).

| — | In the other staff expenditure category, 21,7 % of the underspending (EUR 0,2 million out of EUR 1,1 million) relates to staff travel expenses. Savings in other expenditure related to staff (training, medical expenses, social services, etc.) total EUR 0,3 million. Lower payments for contract staff, seconded national experts and other outside services account for another EUR 0,3 million. |

| — | The overall implementation of building-related expenditure resulted in a saving of EUR 1,3 million. Of this amount, EUR 0,6 million comes from savings in building security and surveillance. Another EUR 0,3 million is due to lower costs for maintenance and cleaning. The remaining EUR 0,4 million is from savings in certain fitting-out works and other building-related costs (i.e. waste removal, signage and surveys by specialised bodies). |
