1.   INTRODUCTION

In accordance with Article 249 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Financial Regulation — FR) (1), this document constitutes a report on the budgetary and financial management of Section II of the EU budget (European Council and Council) for the 2021 financial year.

The report is based on the provisional accounts for 2021, 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 2021 financial year. An overview of the implementation of the budget appropriations available in 2021 is given in Chapter III.

The implementation of the 2021 budget by budget line is presented in the Annex.

2.2.   Establishment of the budget for the European Council and Council in 2021

2.2.1.   
  General approach

The establishment of the 2021 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 2020 budget for non-salary related expenditure by over 2 %.

Increases related to statutory or contractual obligations, or in areas considered essential for the proper functioning of the GSC, have been offset by prioritising and reprogramming certain projects taking into account budget implementation in recent years.

As for the establishment plan, the GSC continued to streamline the organisation by implementing the following actions:

| — | transforming 25 AST posts into 25 AD posts as part of the continuation of the administrative modernisation, with a budget-neutral effect. |

2.2.2.   
  2021 budget

The budget authority established the overall 2021 EC/C budget at EUR 594,4 million. This represents an increase of EUR 3,8 million (+0,6 %) compared with 2020.

The number of posts in the establishment plan for 2021 for the EC/C was fixed at 3 029.

Despite the continuous exceptional working conditions due to the pandemic situation as a result of COVID-19, the number of meetings organised by the GSC increased by 30 % compared to the previous year. The level of institutional meetings was quite similar to pre-pandemic levels, thanks in particular to the organisation of meetings via VTC (64,7 % out of the total institutional meetings). The effects of the restrictive situation was more noticeable in the number of conferences, press briefings and press conferences hold.

Moreover, on 14 and 15 June 2021 the GSC hosted bilateral summits — EU-Canada and EU-USA respectively.

In addition, the 6th Eastern Partnership (EaP) summit took place on 15 December 2021. It brought together EU countries and Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. The EaP seeks to foster stability, prosperity and mutual cooperation, advance the commitment to the necessary reforms and address the global and regional challenges.

3.1.2.   
  Legislative activities

Another quantitative indicator of activities is the number of legal acts published in the Official Journal (OJ) (Table 4). In 2021, 1 340 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.

Despite the challenging working conditions in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Council increased its legislative activity compared to the pre-pandemic year (2019).

3.1.3.   
  Administrative modernisation

In 2021, the GSC continued to improve the quality and efficiency of its internal organisation, focusing in particular on dealing with the working restrictions arising from the continuous COVID-19 pandemic situation:

| — | A new decision on recruitment policy and procedures within the GSC to increase efficiency in the selection process and also to include elements in line with the GSC Diversity and Inclusion Strategy; |

3.1.4.   
  Achievement of objectives in 2021

Achievement of the objectives established for the 2021 budget year may be summarised as follows:

| — | Establishment plan

  On 1 January 2021, in the GSC there were 2 885 occupied posts. Following turnover during the year, on 31 December 2021 there were 2 908 occupied posts, representing a difference of 23 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 set by the Staff Regulation. |

In the context of improving the cash flow position of European businesses, the average payment time for invoices at the GSC was 19 days in 2021, 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 total volume of revenue operations in terms of established rights, i.e. issued recovery orders, was EUR 104,2 million in 2021. Of this amount, EUR 102,3 million was recovered during the financial year and EUR 1,9 million will be collected in 2022.

Most of the total recovered revenues (59 %, or EUR 60,4 million out of EUR 102,3 million) in 2021 relates to community taxes, levies and dues collected from GSC personnel. Of this amount, deductions from staff remuneration yield EUR 33,1 million, while EUR 27,3 million corresponds to contributions and transfers of pension rights to the pension scheme.

The remainder, or 41 % (EUR 41,9 million) is accrued from various administrative operations, 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 2020 and 2021 (EUR 37,9 million, Chapter 3 3); |

3.3.2.   
  Overview of implementation of the budget 2017–2021

Over the past five years (Graph 1), the overall implementation rate of the EC/C budget has been 91,5 % on average. The implementation rate refers to the commitments made during the budget year out of the available adopted budget.

The actual annual payments rate between 2017 and 2021 was on average 81,4 % of the budget. 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

For 2021, 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.

3.3.3.   
  Implementation of appropriations by category in 2021

The analysis of expenditure in 2021 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 2021 and therefore cancelled.

The overall implementation rate of the 2021 budget is 88 %. The difference between the final budget and implementation can be explained as follows:

| — | Total underspending in the establishment plan category is EUR 4,9 million. This underspending relates mainly to lower needs for basic salaries (EUR 3,5 million). Other elements that explain the underspending are lower needs for various statutory entitlements (EUR 0,6 million) and for overtime (EUR 0,4 million) plus lower expenditure relating to social security (EUR 0,2 million). |

| — | In the other staff expenditure category, 58,5 % of the underspending (EUR 2,4 million out of EUR 4,1 million) relates to staff travel expenses. Savings in other expenditure related to staff (training, medical expenses, social services, etc.) total EUR 0,4 million. Lower payments for contract staff, seconded national experts and other outside services account for another EUR 1,3 million. |

| — | The overall implementation of building-related expenditure resulted in a saving of EUR 2,0 million. Of this amount, EUR 1,2 million is due to lower costs in maintenance and cleaning and EUR 0,4 million is from savings in certain fitting-out works. Another EUR 0,2 million comes from savings in building security and surveillance. The remaining EUR 0,2 million is from works to make premises secure and other building-related costs (i.e. waste removal, signage and surveys by specialised bodies). |

| — | The implementation of delegations’ travel expenses was 100 %. The amount available for delegations’ travel expenses after transfers amounted to EUR 10,2 million. The initial budget was EUR 15,5 million, to which EUR 25 million was transferred from savings in some interpretation envelopes. On the other hand, EUR 30,4 million was transferred to interpretation for the technical envelope (4). The technical interpreting envelope partially funds the languages currently used as pivot languages, a technical tool used as a bridge between combinations, instrumental for ensuring multilingual communication. |

Reduced needs for the renting of external conference rooms and accreditation allowed for an additional saving of EUR 0,2 million. This can be explained by the effect of the pandemic on regular meetings combined with the postponement of the EU-African Union Multilateral Summit. |
