1.   INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

In conformity with Article 142 of the Financial Regulation (FR) (1) this document constitutes a report on budgetary and financial management of Section II of the EU budget (European Council and Council) for the financial year 2013.

1

The report is based on the accounts for 2013, the findings in the annual activity reports of the Council’s authorising officers and the budget implementation information from the Council’s financial system.

Chapter 2 of this report presents a summary of the framework which was established for the financial year 2013. A global overview on the implementation of the budget appropriations available in 2013 is given in chapter 3.

The implementation of the budget 2013 by budget line is presented in the Annex.

Establishment of the budget for the European Council and Council in 2013

2.2.1.   General approach

General approach

The establishment of the budget 2013 for the European Council and Council (EC/C hereafter) was based on the general objective not to exceed, in real terms, the overall level of the 2012 budget.

Increases in certain projects or contractual obligations were compensated by introducing reductions in other domains. In addition, supplementary cuts were introduced in areas where the recent budget implementation had been clearly below the available appropriations.

As for the establishment plan, the GSC fully absorbed the impact of the accession of Croatia in its establishment plan. The increase of 46 posts in the establishment plan related to Croatia was offset by:

| — | reducing the number of posts in the establishment plan by 31 in line with the Commission’s proposal to reduce the staff level by 5 % over five years, and |
| --- | --- |

—

reducing the number of posts in the establishment plan by 31 in line with the Commission’s proposal to reduce the staff level by 5 % over five years, and

| — | introducing a supplementary reduction of 15 posts in the establishment plan. |
| --- | --- |

—

introducing a supplementary reduction of 15 posts in the establishment plan.

2.2.2.   Budget 2013

Budget 2013

The budget authority established the overall EC/C budget 2013 at EUR 535,5 million. This corresponds to an increase of EUR 1,6 million (0,3 %) compared to the 2012.

The number of posts in the establishment plan for 2013 for the EC/C was 3  153.

Table 1 gives an overview on the budget 2013 by different categories. Given the estimated inflation of 1,9 % for 2013, the EC/C budget was in fact reduced in real terms by 1,6 %.

The reductions achieved in 2006-13 are largely a result of prudent budget management. The reduction in 2011 is mainly due to the transfer of resources to the EEAS, whereas the decreases in 2012 and 2013 relate to reductions of appropriations of certain activities in view of the previous years’ implementation and actual needs.

Another quantitative indicator of activities is the legal acts published in the Official Journal (OJ) (table 4). In 2013, 1  132 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.

3.1.2.   Achievement of objectives in 2013

Achievement of objectives in 2013

Achievement of the objectives established for the budget year 2013 may be summarised as follows:

| — | Establishment plan


  In 2013, the GSC recruited 189 officials (126 permanent officials and 63 temporary agents). During the year 224 officials (199 permanent officials and 25 temporary agents) left resulting in a net decrease of 35 occupied posts in the EC/C establishment plan.
  As a part of the GSC’s administrative modernisation the number of posts in the establishment plan was reduced by 15 in addition to the 31 related to the reduction of the staffing level by 5 % in five years’ time.
  On the other hand 46 posts related to the Accession of Croatia were included in the establishment plan of the EC/C. |

| — | Financial management


  In 2013, the GSC continued to further improve its financial management and performance. The internal financial processes measured by used time and accuracy improved compared to 2012. Authorising officers’ careful budget planning, for example, resulted in less reallocation of funds during the financial year.
  In the context of improving the cash flow position of European businesses, the average payment delay of invoices in the GSC was 20 days in 2013, the maximum time limit being 30 calendar days (Directive COM(2009) 126 final). |

Revenue

Table 5 gives an overview on the global outcome of revenue operations in 2013. The expression ‘Established rights 2012’ refers to the recovery orders which were made in 2012 but for which the recovery of the amounts took place only in 2013. The expression ‘Established rights 2013’ in turn corresponds to recoveries launched in 2013.

The total volume of revenue operations in terms of established rights, i.e. issued recovery orders, was EUR 87,8 million in 2013. From this amount EUR 80,7 million was recovered during the financial year whereas EUR 7,1 million will be collected in 2014.

The majority of the total recovered revenues (65 % or EUR 52,4 million out of EUR 80,7 million) in 2013 relates to Community taxes, levies and dues collected from the GSC’s personnel. From this amount EUR 20,9 million covers the deductions from staff remuneration whereas EUR 31,4 million corresponds to contributions and transfers of pension rights to the pension scheme.

The remainder, or 35 % (EUR 28,3 million), is accrued from various administrative operations. This amount comes mainly from the following sources:

| — | Recovery of parts of the amounts paid to Member States in previous years for delegates’ travel expenses following their declarations for 2011 and 2012 (EUR 6,7 million and EUR 6,6 million respectively, Chapter 57). |

3.3.1.   Overview of implementation of the budget in 2004-13

Overview of implementation of the budget in 2004-13

The overall implementation rate of the EC/C budget has been on average 95 % over the past 10 years (Graph 1). The implementation rate refers to the commitments made during the budget year.

The actual annual payments during the period have been on average 81 % of the budget. The difference between the overall implementation and payments of a given year (i.e. non-paid commitments) has been carried over, in conformity with Article 13(4) of the Financial Regulation, to the next budget year for the payments.

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

In 2013, EUR 5 million was committed for the acquisition of the Europa Building. The amount has been carried over to 2014 for the actual payment.

The analysis of expenditure in 2013 is presented at the level of 14 expenditure categories.

Table 6 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 in 2013.

Almost 50 % of the assigned revenue is related to the delegations’ travel expenses (EUR 13,3 million). The amount of EUR 8,3 million in interpretation comes from the top-up payments on certain languages to cover the supplementary interpretation in those languages. The remainder is mainly related to reimbursement of amounts connected with various administrative operations of the Council.
