Report on budgetary and financial management in the financial year 2012

Court of Justice of the European Union

1.   INTRODUCTION

This report, in accordance with Article 142 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (the Financial Regulation) and Article 227 of the rules of application of that financial regulation, is to ‘give an account [for the financial year] of the rate of implementation of the appropriations together with summary information on the transfers of appropriations among the various budget items’. It serves also to describe, firstly, ‘the achievement of the objectives for the year, in accordance with the principle of sound financial management’ and, secondly, ‘the financial situation and the events which have had a significant influence on activities during the year’.

In that context, Chapter 2 of this report gives an overview of budget implementation in 2012 and Chapter 3 examines in more detail the trends in budget lines by budget Chapter. Lastly, the annexes, by means of tables with figures, provide detailed information on budget implementation in 2012.

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 2012 on the Curia website (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. The year 2012 saw the adoption of the Court’s new rules of procedure and certain amendments to its Statute following a long, but productive, legislative process. The objective of such reform is, firstly, to bring up to date the procedures before the Court and, secondly, to enable the Court to continue to improve its efficiency.

That improvement, which has been constant in recent years, can also be observed in 2012. The duration of preliminary ruling proceedings reached its lowest level since the end of the 1980s and the General Court, after a particularly productive year, successfully reduced both the ‘stock’ of pending cases and the duration of proceedings, which was cut by two months this year.

As regards IT, the three projects intended to bring the Court closer to citizens have fully shown their value in 2012. Thus, the e-Curia system, launched at the end of 2011, enabling procedural documents to be lodged and served electronically, has been a success and has seen a substantial rise in the number of users over the year. The new, more efficient case-law search engine and the online catalogue of the Court’s library are also much appreciated tools. In addition, the decision as regards the reports of the case-law of the three judicial bodies to replace publication on paper by electronic publication as from 1 January 2012 will not only reduce the costs of publication, but will also facilitate access for members of the legal profession to the case-law.

As regards buildings, the renovation work on the old Erasmus, Thomas More and Annex C buildings has entered its final 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 development of the project for the 5th extension to the Court’s buildings continues. That will make it possible, by 2019, 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 2012

2.1.   Revenue

The estimated revenue of the Court of Justice of the European Union for the 2012 financial year was EUR 43 986 000.

As shown in Table 1 below, the established entitlements in the 2012 financial year come to EUR 50 990 325 and are 15,92 % 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 (97,89 %); 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 2,11 % 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 the greater part of the total revenue from entitlements carried over and collected in 2012 (91,35 %).

2.2.   Expenditure

2.2.1.   Appropriations in the financial year

The appropriations for expenditure entered in the budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union for the 2012 financial year came to EUR 348 335 000.

As shown in Table 3 below, budget implementation for the 2012 financial year amounts to EUR 343 567 693 and represents a rate of use of final appropriations that, as in 2011, remains very high (close to 99 %).

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 21 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 shows details, by Chapter, of 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 2012 financial year, the Court of Justice of the European Union made 18 budget transfers pursuant to Articles 22 and 24 of the former Financial Regulation, representing a total of EUR 15 797 500.

In accordance with the provisions of Articles 22(2) and 24(4) of the former Financial Regulation, seven transfers of appropriations were the subject of notification to the budgetary authority. Those transfers amount in total to EUR 14 087 000 and form the greater part (89 %) of the total amount of appropriations transferred in the financial year. As explained in Chapter 3 below, a little more than EUR 12 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 burden of financial charges and lease- payments for the projects concerned. Further, following the decision in respect of the reports of the case-law of the institution’s three judicial bodies that judgments delivered after 1 January 2012 should be published electronically, appropriations intended for Item 2741‘General publications’ were increased, by EUR 0,9 million, in order to complete the paper publication of the reports of case-law prior to 2012, making use of the advantageous contractual terms of the contract still in force in 2012 (a contract which terminated at the end of that year).

In addition, 11 transfers within Articles, not notified to the budgetary authority, as provided for under Article 22(4) of the former Financial Regulation, were made for a total of EUR 1 710 500, of which EUR 550 000 concerns transfers of appropriations carried out in the latter part of the year in order to make advance payments on the abovementioned building projects,

Annex VI provides details of all of those transfers of appropriations and of the budget lines concerned which were the source and destination of budget appropriations.

3.   BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION IN 2012 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 2012 comes to EUR 251 676 000 (a reduction of 0,16 % compared to 2011) and represents 74 % of the total budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Those appropriations were committed to the extent of EUR 248 118 584, a rate of implementation that remains very high (more than 98 %, just as in 2011).

3.1.1.   Chapter 10 — Members of the institution

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 31 738 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 30 895 975, i.e. a rate of implementation of 97,35 % (compared to 97,64 % in 2011).

One 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 differences between the rates of adjustment of remuneration ultimately decided by the Council and the assumptions made when the budget was drawn up (+ 0 % on 1 January 2012, against an estimate of 0,9 %, and + 0 % from 1 July 2012, against an estimate of + 0,9 %).

Another part of the variations in the implementation of the appropriations is bound up with the three-yearly renewal of terms of office of Members of the three courts and with the other causes of possible unforeseen events (resignation or death) occasioning certain specific expenditure under the Staff Regulations (entitlements related to entering the service, transfer or leaving the service, temporary allowances, pension, etc.). Such differences are, of their very nature, inescapable, since the process of drawing up the budget requires estimates, of the renewal of Members’ terms of office, and of 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 2012 financial year those necessarily fortuitous factors weighed less heavily on the variations in appropriations (the estimates made in early 2011 concerning renewals in the Court of Justice in 2012 having been confirmed almost in their entirety in October 2012, when there were four renewals of terms of office, as opposed to the five estimated in the 2012 budget).

Lastly, as regards transfers of appropriations, at the end of the year a sum of EUR 0,8 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 197 958 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 196 730 313, a rate of implementation which is higher than in 2011 (more than 99 % in 2012, as against 98 % in 2011).

Chapter 12 adds up to the largest Chapter of appropriations in the Court’s budget (nearly 57 % 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 2,9 million) of the variations in the implementation of appropriations is ascribable to the differences between the rates of adjustment of remuneration ultimately decided by the Council (no increase has been accepted since the increase of 0,1 % awarded on 1 July 2010) and the assumptions relied on when the 2012 budget was prepared, following the Commission’s proposal.

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 around 3 % on average, a figure corresponding to normal turnover of staff. Those good results are the fruit of a very active recruitment policy on the part of all 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 difficulties 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, as a result of the increase in judicial activity in recent years.

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 thereby endeavour to improve as much as possible its performance in the implementing of appropriations. In that vein, certain major methodological adjustments leading to a reduction in requests for appropriations by some EUR 3,5 million were introduced in the budgetary calculations for the 2013 financial year.

Lastly, as 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 increase the appropriations in Chapter 20 so as to make advance payments on certain major building projects (EUR 9 million).

3.1.3.   Chapter 14 — Other staff and external services

Generally, the final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 16 206 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 14 919 828, a rate of implementation which is lower than that in 2011 (92 % in 2012 as against 98 % in 2011).

The final appropriations in Chapter 14 are mainly concentrated in two budget Items. Firstly, almost 29 % of the total appropriations in this Chapter relate to Item 1400‘Other staff’ (where the rate of implementation is close to 99 %, as in 2011) and, secondly, almost 65 % of the total appropriations in this Chapter relates to Item 1406‘External services in the linguistic field’ (where the rate of implementation fell to 89 %, as compared with 97,5 % implementation in 2011), intended to cover the services of freelance interpreters and translators.

In general, it must be recalled that the policy of giving preference to the use of internal resources allows the greatest possible limitation of recourse to freelance service providers, which is however the essential adjustment variable in order to cope with the increased number of hearings and the increased number of pages to be translated as a result of high judicial activity.

As regards translation, the implementation of various procedural measures, introduced by the Court during previous years and significantly extended in 2011, against a background of growing pressure in terms of the quantity to be translated (+ 5,7 % in 2008, + 6,7 % in 2009, + 12,6 % in 2010 and again + 7,7 % in 2011), ultimately led to a noticeable reduction in the number of pages to be translated in 2012, as compared with the total number of pages to be translated in 2011 (– 8,8 %) and, as a result, reduced use of appropriations for freelance outsourcing.

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 part of the surplus established in Chapter 14 in order to increase the appropriations in Chapter 20, so as to make advance payments on certain major building projects (EUR 1,45 million).

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

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 5 774 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 5 572 467, a rate of implementation of almost 97 % (against 95 % in 2011).

Two Items in this Chapter represent nearly 80 % of the final appropriations. These are Item 1612‘Further training’, where the rate of implementation was almost 99 % (against 94 % in 2011), and Item 1654‘Early childhood centre’ where the rate of implementation is, as it was in 2011, 100 %.

As regards Item 1654, it was necessary to increase the initial budget funding by EUR 305 000, following a request by the Commission with the aim of covering an operating deficit in 2012 due to both the financial impact of a judgment relating to the wages of staff employed in the Early childhood centre on the basis of Luxembourg private law (pursuant to the ‘Secteur d’aide et soins’ collective agreement) and to the bringing into service of the CPE V building within the new Luxembourg-II European school opened in September 2012.

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

As shown in Table 7 below, the final budget funding for the 2012 financial year in Title 2 comes to EUR 96 619 000, representing almost 28 % of the entire budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Those appropriations were committed to the extent of EUR 95 418 787, a very high rate of implementation of almost 99 %, as in 2011.

The table in Annex III also shows that the final appropriations committed in 2012 (EUR 95,42 million) increased by almost 8 % as compared with those in 2011 (EUR 88,37 million).

3.2.1.   Chapter 20 — Buildings and associated costs

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 70 942 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 70 358 308, i.e. 99,18 % (99,57 % in 2011).

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:

| — | firstly, the Court intends to bring together all its services on a single site, so as to improve its operation to the maximum, |

firstly, the Court intends to bring together 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, 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 (2)), which emphasises the budget savings of such a policy. |

secondly, after first following a policy of renting, the Court has, 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 (2)), 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 80 % (EUR 56 495 000) and 20 % (EUR 14 447 000) 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’ amounted to almost EUR 12,8 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 vacated at the end of 2013, when the old Erasmus, Thomas More and Annex C buildings, now in the final phase of complete renovation (3), will be available. In contrast, the T and Tbis buildings will have to be kept until the completion of the project for the 5th extension to the Court’s buildings (submitted to and approved by the two arms of the budgetary authority in July 2011), looking to 2017.

For its part, expenditure under Item 2001‘Lease/purchase’ came to EUR 42 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 12,6 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 13 864 929 (rate of implementation of 96 % compared with 98,4 % in 2011) 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. The reduction in the rate of implementation of appropriations in this Article is due to two factors: firstly, less expenditure than estimated in relation to the major work of renovating the Annex buildings, completion of which is currently anticipated in the first half of 2013, and, secondly, significant energy savings linked both to better contractual terms (interinstitutional contract concluded by the OIB) and to weather which was milder than in 2011.

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

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 18 850 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 18 611 026, a very high rate of almost 99 %, as in 2011.

The appropriations in Chapter 21 are for the most part (84 %) 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, but also linguistic and administrative activities.

In parallel with certain major developments, particularly in the context of electronic publication of the case-law, other developments or improvements in several internal applications have been pursued in order to increase the efficiency and productivity of the services involved in the judicial process.

From 2011 to 2012 the budget allocated to IT increased by EUR 1,4 million (almost + 10 %). In that regard, current requirements show an increase of EUR 0,7 million as compared with 2011. The reason is that some investment in development and in terms of acquisition of hardware, maintenance of equipment and telecommunication/multimedia costs was required in 2012, inter alia, in connection with the use of digital working in respect of the flow of documents or the electronic publication of the case-law. Moreover, the Directorate for Information Technologies has assumed certain responsibilities, in particular management of the photocopier network and management of the security backbone network, which were borne until 2011 by the Directorate for Buildings and Logistics.

As regards the rise in appropriations for strategic requirements (0,7 million), that is due, firstly, to the implementation of the second stage of the three-year plan for the security of application infrastructures (this plan is intended to give effect to the recommendations of external audits so as to respond to the need for continuity essential to the proper working of the courts, now highly computerised) and, secondly, to the investment in IT infrastructures made in respect of the project of renovating the Annex buildings.

As regards the other budget Items in Chapter 21, expenditure linked to technical equipment and installations and to vehicles is similar to that in 2011. Lastly, expenditure linked to the purchase of furniture substantially increased in 2012 because of the investment necessary to fit out the renovated Annex buildings.

3.2.3.   Chapter 23 — Current administrative expenditure

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 1 832 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 1 710 642, slightly more than 93 % (against 96 % in 2011).

As shown in the table in Annex III, the appropriations committed in 2012 in this Chapter have, overall, fallen by more than 15 % compared with 2011. Of those appropriations, nearly 73 % relates to the two following types of expenditure:

| — | expenditure in Article 230‘Stationery, office supplies and various consumables’, which amounted to EUR 699 845 (with a rate of implementation of 99 %). The substantial fall, almost 25 % compared with 2011, in appropriations in 2012 confirms the great savings of appropriations made under this Item in recent years, by reason of the ever increasing use of electronic exchange of information within the institution, |

Lastly, it is worth mentioning that efforts have been made to limit current operating expenditure in Article 238‘Other administrative operating expenditure’ which had a budget of EUR 444 000 in 2012 and where the rate of implementation was reduced to 79,3 % (against 86,7 % in 2011 for a budget largely the same). It should also be mentioned that this budget Article includes, inter alia, appropriations 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, to the extent of EUR 90 000.

3.2.4.   Chapter 25 — Meetings and conferences

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 710 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 507 756.

In 2012 the total amount of appropriations was intentionally lower than in 2011, and it should also be noted that the rate of implementation of appropriations fell (from 84 % in 2011 to 71,5 % in 2012) which is 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 2012, and those for the Members of the Court of Justice on the partial renewal of terms of office in that court, which took place in October.

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 annual ‘Judges’ Forum’ which assumed particular importance on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Court (the highest national courts being represented among the 99 participants from the various Member States), 94 days of seminars also made it possible to assemble 1 397 participants.

Finally, arranging study or information visits for a wider public (582 groups, a total of 12 629 participants) 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 4 285 000, an increase of almost 43 % compared with 2011, were committed to the extent of EUR 4 231 055, or almost 99 % as in 2011.

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 1 263 607 (implementation rate of 99 %) with an increase of EUR 97 123 as compared with 2011 (+ 8,3 %). It must be borne in mind that that expenditure constitutes an investment which is essential 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 which is essential 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 2 967 448, against EUR 1 803 276 2011 (with a rate of implementation of almost 99 % in 2012 against 98,4 % in 2011). For the most part, that expenditure supports the publication of judgments, opinions and the case-law reports of the three courts. This activity enjoys close collaboration with the Publications Office of the European Union. The decision to publish the reports of case-law electronically as regards judgments delivered after 1 January 2012 does not relieve the Court of the obligation to complete the ‘paper’ publication of the reports of case-law prior to 2012. To that end, and with the full agreement of the Publications Office, the Court therefore decided to proceed with the production of those last reports before the end of 2012, which made it necessary to increase by EUR 0,925 million the publication budget managed by the Publications Office. That transfer was made possible by savings released in Article 202‘Buildings-related costs’. |

That transfer was made possible by savings released in Article 202‘Buildings-related costs’.

To a lesser extent, 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 substantial reduction in the level of the last-mentioned appropriations (almost 31 %, compared with 2011) is due to, firstly, savings made in connection with the production of the institution’s Annual Report in the 22 official languages and, secondly, a reduced need to replace information material in the light of existing stock.

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 2012 financial year, those appropriations amounted to EUR 40 000 and were committed to the extent of EUR 30 322, i.e. an implementation rate of 76 % (83,5 % in 2011).

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 one year to the next.
