Report on budgetary and financial management in the financial year 2011

Court of Justice of the European Union

1.   INTRODUCTION

This report which, in accordance with Article 122 of the Financial Regulation and Article 185 of the Implementing Rules, accompanies the accounts of the Court of Justice of the European Union for 2011, ‘give[s] an account, inter alia, of the rate of implementation of the appropriations together with summary information on the transfers of appropriations among the various budget items’. It also makes it possible to describe, first, ‘the achievement of the objectives for the year, in accordance with the principle of sound financial management’ and, second, ‘the financial situation and the events which have had a significant influence on activities during the year’.

Chapter 2 of this Report gives an overview of budget implementation in 2011 and Chapter 3 examines in more detail the trends in budget lines by budget chapter. Lastly, the annexes provide tables with figures, again relating to budget implementation in 2011.

With regard to judicial activity sensu stricto, readers are invited to consult the Annual Report of the Court of Justice of the European Union for 2011 on the Curia internet site (http://curia.europa.eu), which provides detailed information and statistics concerning the judicial activities of the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal. It is to be observed that the year 2011 was notable for, first and foremost, the intensity of judicial activity. With 1 569 new cases and 1 518 cases completed, the Court of Justice of the European Union has seen the number of actions brought before, and disposed of by, its three judicial organs rise to a marked degree. This trend bears testimony to the confidence placed by national courts and by litigants in the courts of the Union. However, that increase in the number of cases demands a certain vigilance on the part both of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the legislative authorities of the Union, in order not to jeopardise the efficiency of the latter’s judicial system and to continue to serve the citizens of Europe as well as possible. With that in mind, last year the Court of Justice proposed a series of amendments to its Statute and a complete recasting of its Rules of Procedure with a view, first, to improving its efficiency and productivity and, second, to modernising its procedures.

The year 2011 was notable also for the major IT and building projects carried out, that allowed the Court to enjoy a modern, solid structure for developing its judicial activity.

As regards IT, three work projects of large scale, intended chiefly to bring the Court closer to citizens, have been successfully concluded. Thus, the opening of the e-Curia system, the launching of a new, more efficient engine for searching the case-law and putting the catalogue of the Court’s library on line now help make the Court of Justice more accessible and more transparent.

As regards buildings, the renovation work on the old Erasmus, Thomas More and Annex C buildings has entered a very active stage, so as to allow the buildings thus renovated to be occupied again as from the beginning of the judicial year in September 2013, and in particular to allow five new court rooms to be available. Furthermore, the project for the 5th extension to the Court’s buildings was presented to and approved by the two arms of the budgetary authority in July 2011. It will make it possible, in 2017 as far as can be seen, to reunite all the Court’s staff (currently scattered among several rented buildings) on a single site and thereby to increase the efficiency of its services.

2.   OVERVIEW OF BUDGETARY IMPLEMENTATION IN 2011

2.1.   Revenue

The estimated revenue of the Court of Justice of the European Union for the financial year 2011 was EUR 43 514 000.

As shown in Table 1 below, the established entitlements in 2011 come to EUR 44 562 294 and are 2,41 % higher than estimated.

It may be noted that the revenue-entitlements established in Title 4 (chiefly deductions from the remuneration of Members and staff in respect of taxes and social security contributions) represent a very high percentage of the total revenue (96,78 %); revenue in Title 5 (chiefly the reimbursement by the Court of Auditors and by the Translation Centre of the cost of leasing parts of the T/Tbis buildings, proceeds from the sale of electric power produced by the panels of photovoltaic cells, proceeds from the sale of publications, telecommunication refunds and financial products) represents only 3,22 % of the total.

Annexes I and II provide additional information with figures on the whole revenue stream (revenue entitlements carried over, revenue entitlements established and revenue entitlements collected).

As regards revenue from entitlements carried over from the preceding financial year, Table 2 below shows that revenue in Title 5 represents most of the total revenue from entitlements carried over and used in 2011 (71,04 %).

2.2.1.   Appropriations in the financial year

The appropriations entered in the budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union for the financial year 2011 came to EUR 341 229 998.

As shown in Table 3 below, budget implementation for the financial year 2011 amounts to EUR 335 904 453 and represents a rate of use of final appropriations that, as in 2010, remains very high (greater than 98 %).

It is also to be noted that, as in previous years, nearly three quarters of the budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union is allocated to expenditure on Members and staff (Title 1 expenditure).

2.2.3.   Appropriations corresponding to assigned revenue

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, certain revenue may be assigned to the financing of specific items of expenditure. Such assigned revenue represents, therefore, additional appropriations that may be used by the Court.

Table 5 below details, by chapter, the sums of assigned revenue carried over from one financial year to another and the assigned revenue established and collected during the financial year.

2.2.4.   Transfers of appropriations

In the course of the year 2011, the Court of Justice of the European Union made 19 budget transfers pursuant to Articles 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, representing a total of EUR 10 911 431.

In accordance with the provisions of Articles 22(2) and 24(4) of the Financial Regulation, seven transfers of appropriations were the subject of notification to the budgetary authority. Those transfers amount to EUR 8 907 488 and form the greater part (82 %) of the total amount of appropriations transferred in the financial year. As explained in Chapter 3 below, a little more than EUR 7 million relates to transfers of appropriations made in the latter part of the year in order to make use of various surpluses of appropriations within Titles 1 and 2 of the budget for the purpose of making advance payments on certain major building projects, in accordance with the provisions of the lease/purchase contracts signed with the Luxembourg authorities. In accordance with the principle of proper financial management, these advance payments help to lessen the future weight of the financial charges and lease/purchase payments for the projects concerned. Furthermore, the appropriations for external services in the sphere of translation were reinforced, in the sum of EUR 1,6 million, in order to cope with the huge workload caused by the increase in the institution’s judicial activity.

In addition, 12 transfers within articles, not notified to the budgetary authority, as provided for under Article 22(4) of the Financial Regulation, were made for a total of EUR 2 003 943.

Annex VI provides details of all of those transfers of appropriations and of the budget lines concerned.

3.   BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION IN 2011 BY CHAPTER

3.1.   Title 1 — Persons working with the institution

As shown in Table 6 below, the final budget funding of Title 1 for the financial year 2011 is EUR 252 076 510 (an increase of only 1,59 % compared to 2010, as shown in Annex III); it represents a little less than 74 % of the total budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Those appropriations were committed to the extent of EUR 247 499 120, a rate of implementation that remains very high (more than 98 %, just as in 2010).

3.1.1.   Chapter 10 — Members of the institution

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 31 167 153, were committed to the extent of EUR 30 434 394, i.e. a rate of implementation of 97,64 % (compared to 93,53 % in 2010).

Some part of the variations in the implementation of the appropriations in this chapter is linked, first of all, to the remuneration of the Members and to the (inevitable) differences between the rates of adjustment of remuneration eventually decided by the Council and the assumptions made when the budget was drawn up (+ 0,1 % on 1 January 2011, against an estimate of 0,4 %). What is more, the Council has refused to adopt the Commission’s proposal of an increase in remuneration of 1,7 % from 1 July 2011 (the corresponding provisional appropriations having originally been calculated on an estimated adjustment of 1,3 %).

Another part of the variations in the implementation of the appropriations is bound up with the three-yearly replacement of Members of the three courts, and with the other causes of possible unforeseen events (resignation or death) occasioning certain specific statutory expenditure (entitlements related to entering the service, transfer or leaving the service, temporary allowances, pension, etc.). Such differences are, of their very nature, inescapable, for the process of drawing up the budget requires estimates for the renewal of the Members’ terms of office, and for unforeseen events, to be made at a very early stage (almost a year and a half before the renewal dates) and cautiously, whereas the actual renewal of the Members’ terms of office is subsequently the product both of decisions of the Member States and of individual decisions of the Members of the courts.

It is, however, to be noted that for the financial year 2011 those necessarily fortuitous factors weighed less heavy on the variations in appropriations (the estimates made in early 2010 concerning the replacements in the Civil Service Tribunal in 2011, in particular, having been confirmed in their entirety in September 2011), which explains a better use of appropriations (under-implementation of only 0,7 million in 2011, against a little more than 2 million in 2010).

Lastly, as regards transfers of appropriations, at the end of the year a sum of EUR 0,2 million was transferred from Chapter 10 to the lease/purchase item in Chapter 20.

3.1.2.   Chapter 12 — Officials and temporary staff

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 197 660 794, were committed to the extent of EUR 194 472 834, an implementation rate that remains very high (more than 98 %, as in 2010).

Chapter 12 adds up to the largest chapter of appropriations in the Court’s budget (nearly 60 % of the total budget). The surplus established at the end of the financial year is, therefore, relatively small, having regard both to the total amount of those appropriations and to the difficulties of making budget estimates nearly 12 months ahead, using numerous forecasting parameters that are necessarily only estimates (rate of salary increases, rate of inflation, tempo of recruitment or turnover, rate of standard abatement, etc.). For example, and as previously mentioned in point 3.1.1 above, a not inconsiderable part (nearly EUR 2 million) of the variations in the implementation of appropriations is ascribable to the (unavoidable) differences between the rates of adjustment of remuneration eventually decided by the Council and the assumptions relied on when the budget was prepared.

It is important to emphasise that the surplus found is in fact connected with the various forecasting parameters mentioned above and not with any decline in the proportion of posts occupied, which remains very high at the Court of Justice. The proportion of vacant posts remains well below 3 % on average, a figure corresponding to normal turnover of staff. Those good results are the fruit borne by a very active recruitment policy on the part of all of the Court’s services, allowing the number of vacant posts to be kept as low as possible, in spite of the constraints inherent in the normal, inevitable turnover of staff, and the greater difficulty of recruiting staff in Luxembourg because of the high level of the cost of living. The low proportion of vacant posts is also an excellent indicator of the heavy workload borne by the services of the Court, the great increase in judicial activity demanding the best possible use of the human resources allocated to it (1).

Generally speaking, the Court turns to good account the analysis of the disparities in implementation found in the appropriations of Chapter 12, in order to continue to refine its methodology for estimating remunerations and to improve as much as possible its performance in the implementing of appropriations.

Lastly, so far as transfers of appropriations are concerned, towards the end of the year the two arms of the budgetary authority authorised the use of a large part of the surplus established in Chapter 12, in order to reinforce, first, the appropriations in Chapter 20 so as to make advance payments on certain major building projects (EUR 4,3 million) and, second, the appropriations for free lance translation services in Chapter 14 (EUR 1,6 million) so as to increase capacity for contracting out in the context of very intense judicial activity.

3.1.3.   Chapter 14 — Other staff and external services

Generally, the final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 18 415 063, were committed to the extent of EUR 17 997 804, a high rate of implementation that, as in 2010, is still about 98 %.

The final appropriations in Chapter 14 are mainly concentrated in two budget items. A quarter of those appropriations relate to Item 1400‘Other staff’ (where the rate of implementation is close to 99 %), and almost three quarters relate to Item 1406‘External services in the linguistic field’ (where the rate of implementation is 97,5 %), intended to cover the services of free lance interpreters and translators.

As previously mentioned, the considerable growth of judicial activity has borne particularly heavily on the translation service (2), which has been led, the reinforcement of posts during 2011 notwithstanding, to contract out as large a proportion of its activity as possible, so as not to jeopardise the periods allowed for handling cases or the publication of case-law in all the languages of the Union. This situation necessitated a significant reinforcement of appropriations (EUR 2,5 million on top of the 7 million originally granted). This reinforcement was made possible by, first, the transfer of appropriations authorised by the budgetary authority from Chapter 12 (EUR 1,6 million) and, second, various transfers of appropriations (for a sum of EUR 0,9 million) decided by the Registrar of the Court, in accordance with his powers, within Article 140‘Other staff and external persons’, moving the appropriations as urgently required.

However, and at the same time, it is to be stressed that the courts have taken new steps to reduce the flow of pages to be translated. Although the full effect of those measures will be felt only in the long term, it was possible to restrict the overall increase in the workload to 7,7 % in 2011, which turns out, paradoxically, to be rather reassuring, having regard to the worrying trends noted at the beginning of the year and to the increase in 2010 (+ 12,6 %).

3.1.4.   Chapter 16 — Other expenditure relating to persons working with the institution

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 4 833 500, were committed to the extent of EUR 4 594 086, a rate of implementation slightly higher than 95 % (against 97 % in 2010).

Two items in this chapter represent nearly 80 % of the final appropriations. These are Item 1612‘Further training’, where the rate of implementation was 94 % (against 97 % in 2010), and Item 1654‘Early childhood centre’ where the rate of implementation is, as it was in 2010, 100 %.

So far as further training is concerned, putting in hand the strategic training framework led to the introduction of skills bases for certain kinds of occupation with a view to defining more targeted training plans over a period of three years. Those studies, and the trial training stages required, explain the lower utilisation of appropriations in 2011.

3.2.   Title 2 — Buildings, furniture, equipment and miscellaneous operating expenditure

As shown in Table 7 below, the final budget funding for the financial year 2011 in Title 2 comes to EUR 89 113 488, representing a little more than a quarter of the entire budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Those appropriations were committed to the extent of EUR 88 371 913, a very high rate of implementation of more than 99 %, as in 2010.

The table in Annex III also shows that the final appropriations committed in 2011 (EUR 88,37 million) rose by more than 10 %, compared to those in 2010 (EUR 80,15 million), because of the major building and IT projects carried out or in hand, mentioned briefly in the introduction and now set out in more detail in the paragraphs below.

3.2.1.   Chapter 20 — Buildings and associated costs

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 66 383 488, were committed to the extent of EUR 66 097 229, i.e. 99,57 % (99,55 % in 2010).

Those appropriations are intended to cover the cost of renting, buying and running the various buildings occupied by the Court of Justice.

More generally, the institution’s buildings policy pursues two main objects:

| — | first, the Court intends to reunite all its services on a single site, so as to improve its operation to the maximum, |

first, the Court intends to reunite all its services on a single site, so as to improve its operation to the maximum,

| — | secondly, after first following a policy of renting, the Court has, ever since its seat was definitely fixed in Luxembourg (decided at the European Council at Edinburgh in 1992), sought to become the owner of the buildings it occupies, like the other institutions and in accordance with the recommendations of the special report of the Court of Auditors (No 2/2007), which emphasises the budget savings of such a policy. |

secondly, after first following a policy of renting, the Court has, ever since its seat was definitely fixed in Luxembourg (decided at the European Council at Edinburgh in 1992), sought to become the owner of the buildings it occupies, like the other institutions and in accordance with the recommendations of the special report of the Court of Auditors (No 2/2007), which emphasises the budget savings of such a policy.

More detailed information on the institution’s buildings policy and the state of projects under way is given to the budgetary authority every year in a specific report addressed to it in the course of the second quarter.

The final appropriations in Articles 200‘Buildings’ and 202‘Costs relating to buildings’ represent 79 % (EUR 52 328 488) and 21 % (EUR 14 055 000), respectively, of the total appropriations in this chapter.

The appropriations in Article 200‘Buildings’ in essence fund expenditure on rent and lease/purchase.

Expenditure under Item 2000‘Rent’ has risen to almost EUR 11,6 million (an implementation rate of 100 %) and corresponds to the renting of four buildings (Allegro, Geos, T and Tbis), which it remains necessary to occupy. The Allegro and Geos buildings will be given up at the end of 2013, when the old Erasmus, Thomas More and Annex C buildings, now undergoing complete renovation (3), will be available. In contrast, the T and Tbis buildings will have to be kept until the completion of the 5th extension to the Court’s buildings (submitted to and approved by the two arms of the budgetary authority in July 2011) with 2017 in view.

For its part, expenditure under Item 2001‘Lease/purchase’ came to EUR 38,8 million (an implementation rate of 100 %) and corresponds in the main to the charges payable under the two contracts concluded with the Luxembourg authorities for the construction and purchase of the various buildings of the Court of Justice’s main site (including the Palais, renovated and extended, brought into service at the end of 2008). As mentioned above, it proved possible to assign certain surpluses of appropriations released in Titles 1 and 2 of the budget to additional advance payments (almost EUR 7,5 million) which, in the interests of sound financial management, and as has been done since 2007, makes it possible to reduce very considerably the future burden of the financial charges and lease/purchase payments for the purchase projects.

As regards expenditure in Article 202‘Buildings-related costs’, that amounts to EUR 13 828 512 (rate of implementation of 98,4 %) and corresponds, almost entirely, to the expenditure on cleaning and maintenance, energy consumption and security/surveillance required to ensure that the buildings of the Court are soundly run. There have been changes in this expenditure in 2011 in a twofold movement:

| — | after 2009 and 2010, years in which the use of the buildings in the new Palais was, broadly, at a running-in stage, it may be noted that the steps taken (adjustments/calibration of technical installations, rationalisation of cleaning and maintenance and security and surveillance systems) have enabled substantial savings of appropriations (particularly as regards the item energy). It has thus been possible to release EUR 2 million to contribute to the advance payment mentioned in the previous paragraph; |

3.2.2.   Chapter 21 — Data processing, equipment and movable property

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 16 835 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 16 623 718, a very high rate of 98,74 % (99,36 % in 2010).

The appropriations in Chapter 21 are, for the most part, intended for expenditure on IT, the balance being allocated to the cost of furniture, technical equipment and installations and vehicles.

So far as Article 210‘Equipment, operating costs and data-processing and telecommunications services’ is concerned, it is important to stress how crucial this expenditure is to the proper working of all the Court of Justice’s activities, first and foremost its judicial activity (especially in the context of a marked increase in the number of new cases), but also linguistic and administrative activities.

As noted in the introduction, in November 2011 the finishing touches were put to several developments on a large scale. First of all, in connection with a huge dematerialisation of the Court of Justice’s judicial processes, there was the opening of the e-Curia site, allowing the electronic exchange and management of procedural documents between the parties’ representatives and the registries of the institution. As regards public access to information, a new case-law search engine was brought into production on 1 December 2011 (InfoCuria – external gateway), which adds considerably to the options for searching the Court’s case-law from the very beginning. Lastly, the catalogue of the Court’s library was put on line on the Curia site, thus allowing advanced research in the large stock of legal works held by the Court. At the same time as those major developments, other developments or improvements of several internal applications continued, in order to strengthen the efficiency and productivity of the services involved in the judicial process.

A budget allocation similar to that of 2010 (of a little more than EUR 13 million) was used to cope with those major investments in development and with current requirements as regards the acquisition of equipment, the maintenance of installations and telecommunications and multimedia charges. Having regard to the amount of its IT equipment and specialist applications, that result could be obtained only thanks, first, to interinstitutional cooperation as intensive as possible and, second, to more selective arbitrage in respect of new developments.

So, the increase in IT appropriations in relation to 2010 (EUR 1,37 million, or + 10 %) is ascribable solely to the putting in hand of the first part of the 2011-13, three-year plan for the security of application infrastructures, which has been submitted to the budgetary authority and is intended to give effect to the recommendations of recent, external audits so as to respond to the need of continuity demanded by the proper working of the courts, now highly computerised. This programme of consolidation covers both the security of infrastructures and simplified planning of applications.

So far as the other budget items in Chapter 21 (furniture, technical equipment and installations and transport) are concerned, expenditure has been controlled most strictly, allowing furthermore the transfer of the sum of EUR 300 000 to Chapter 20 in order to contribute to the advance payments mentioned above.

3.2.3.   Chapter 23 — Current administrative expenditure

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 2 103 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 2 018 251, i.e. almost 96 % (against 98 % in 2010).

As the table in Annex III shows, the appropriations committed in 2011 in this chapter have, overall, fallen by practically 4 % in relation to 2010. Of those appropriations, nearly 77 % was allocated to the two following types of expenditure:

| — | expenditure in Article 230‘Stationery, office supplies and various consumables’, which amounted to EUR 932 432 (with a rate of implementation of almost 100 %, as in 2010). The new fall in appropriations in 2011 confirms the great savings of appropriations already made under this item in recent years, by reason of the ever increasing use of electronic exchange of information within the institution, |

Although these appropriations are down, overall, compared to 2010, a reinforcement of EUR 50 000 was necessary on account of the increase, larger than had been foreseen, both in postage rates and in the quantity of post to be stamped (especially registered mail directly linked to the rise in the large number of cases dealt with by the Court). |

Last, it is perhaps not unhelpful to recall that Article 238 has a budget that, while relatively restricted (EUR 90 000), is intended to promote a mobility policy for the Court’s staff that is friendlier to the environment both for getting to work and for work-related movements between the institution’s various buildings. This budget makes it possible to honour the interinstitutional contract concluded with the Ville de Luxembourg for the use of the urban bus network.

3.2.4.   Chapter 25 — Meetings and conferences

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 792 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 662 954.

While the total amount of appropriations is, deliberately, lower than in 2010, progress has been noted in the rate of implementation (from 79 % in 2010 to almost 84 % in 2011), ascribable to the necessarily more fortuitous nature of expenditure in this chapter, intended, for the most part, for the Court’s ceremonial events and official visits, seminars and study and information visits.

Ceremonial activity included several formal sittings, among which were those for the Members of the Court of Auditors taking up their duties in 2011, and those for the Members of the Civil Service Tribunal on the partial replacement of Members of that court, which took place at the end of September.

Furthermore, seminars or meetings with national judges enable the Court to pursue its aim of making those judges aware of how the institution operates, of the preliminary ruling procedure and of the practice of European Union law. In addition to the important ‘Annual Judges’ Forum’, 86 days of seminars made it possible to assemble 1 300 participants.

Finally, arranging study or information visits for a wider public (nearly 14 000 visitors in 2011) responds to the desire to improve the communication of information concerning the judicial institution and the case-law of the European Union.

3.2.5.   Chapter 27 — Information: acquisition, archiving, production and distribution

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 3 000 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 2 969 760, i.e. almost 99 %, as in 2010.

The appropriations in this chapter are allocated to two types of expenditure which contribute in full to the Court’s judicial activity:

| — | expenditure in Article 272‘Documentation, library and archiving expenditure’, which amounted to EUR 1 166 483 (implementation rate of 100 %). It must be borne in mind that that expenditure constitutes an investment necessary to the proper working of the three courts and the departments of the institution, |

It must be borne in mind that that expenditure constitutes an investment necessary to the proper working of the three courts and the departments of the institution,

| — | expenditure in Article 274‘Production and distribution’, which amounted to EUR 1 803 276 (implementation rate of more than 98 %). For the most part, that expenditure supports the communication of judgments, opinions and the case-law reports of the three courts to the public. This activity enjoys close collaboration with the Office of Publications of the European Union. The much more advantageous terms obtained by the Office for contracts for the publication of the Official Journal have, in addition, made it possible to save EUR 300 000 to reinforce certain lines in Chapters 20 (lease/purchase item) and 23 (postal charges item). In smaller part, expenditure under Article 274 covers also the cost of publishing the Court’s Annual Report and information material (brochures, folders and other multimedia material) for the various types of visitor. The rise in the level of the last-mentioned appropriations (of around 8 %, in relation to 2010) is due to the need to update this information material following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, which altered the ambit of the institution’s powers. |

3.3.   Title 3 — Expenditure resulting from special functions carried out by the institution

Chapter 37 — Special expenditure relating to certain institutions and bodies

The final budget funding in Title 3 consists solely of the appropriations in Chapter 37 for Item 3710‘Court expenses’. For the financial year 2011, those appropriations amounted to EUR 40 000 and were committed to the extent of EUR 33 419,55, i.e. an implementation rate of 83,5 % (51,3 % in 2010).

That is expenditure, for which the Court is liable, relating to legal aid, covering lawyers’ fees and other expenses. It is difficult to estimate such expenditure, which explains why the level of budget implementation varies greatly from year to year.
