EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

The present
Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 2/2014 is intended to budget the surplus
resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2013. As provided for in
the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the Union[4], under Article 18 § 3,
it is the only subject of this DAB and it has to be submitted within 15 days following the submission of the provisional accounts,
which took place at end March 2014.

1. 
The implementation of the budget year 2013 shows
a surplus of EUR 1 005 406 925,37 (not including
contributions from European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and European Economic
Area (EEA)), which is therefore entered as revenue in
the 2014 budget.

The registering of the surplus can be
analysed as follows:

2013 || EFTA-EEA || European Union || Total

Revenue for the financial year || 293 208 636,00 || 149 210 450 357,56 || 149 503 658 993,56

Payments against current year appropriations || -293 010 664,09 || -147 273 877 214,59 || -147 566 887 878,68

Payment appropriations carried over to year N+1 || -4 220 213,94 || -1 325 132 086,83 || -1 329 352 300,77

Cancellation of unused appropriations carried over from year N-1 || 465 452,28 || 33 282 462,39 || 33 747 914,67

Difference between assigned revenue carried over from years N-1 to N and N to N+1 || || 402 838 997,98 || 402 838 997,98

Exchange differences for the year || || -42 155 591,14 || -42 155 591,14

Budget outturn 2013 || -3 556 789,75 || 1 005 406 925,37 || 1 001 850 135,62

2. 
The budgeting of the surplus will diminish
accordingly the global contribution of the Member States to the financing of
the EU Budget. This global decrease by Member State 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 2014.
