Report on budgetary and financial management in 2008

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 for 2008, gives an account of, inter alia, the rate of implementation of appropriations. In addition, it offers a summary of the transfers of appropriations to and from various budget items carried out in the course of the 2008 financial year.

Chapter 2 of this Report gives an overview of budget implementation in 2008 and Chapter 3 examines in more detail the trends in budget lines according to budget chapters.

Lastly, the Annexes provide detailed information in the form of statistical tables relating again to budget implementation in 2008.

In regard to judicial activity as such, readers are invited to consult the Annual Report of the Court of Justice for 2008 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 Court of First Instance and the Civil Service Tribunal.

2.   OVERVIEW OF BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION IN 2008

2.1.   Revenue

The estimated revenue of the Court of Justice for the financial year 2008 was EUR 36 539 000.

As shown in Table 1 below, the established entitlements in 2008 are EUR 38 785 961 and are 6,15 % higher than estimated (1).

It will be noted that revenue-entitlements established in Title 4 (principally 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 (97,06 %), while revenue in Titles 5 and 9 (principally proceeds from the sale of publications, insurance refunds, telecommunication refunds and financial products) represents less than 3 % of the total.

Annexes II and III provide additional data on the whole of the revenue stream (revenue-entitlements carried over, revenue-entitlements established and revenue-entitlements collected).

It will be noted that revenue recovered (EUR 38 737 467) represents 99,88 % of established entitlements in 2008 (99,18 % in 2007).

As regards revenue from entitlements carried over from the preceding financial year, Table 2 below shows that, as is the case for revenue in the financial year, revenue in Title 4 represents most of the total revenue from entitlements carried over (93,83 %). The amounts still to be recovered in Title 4 essentially correspond to the amounts to be recovered from national pension bodies in connection with transfers of pension rights.

2.2.   Expenditure

2.2.1.   Appropriations in the financial year

The appropriations entered in the budget of the Court of Justice for the 2008 financial year were EUR 294 077 591.

As shown in Table 3 below, the budget implementation for 2008 amounts to EUR 290 385 281 and represents a very high rate of use of final appropriations of 98,74 %, an improvement as compared with the preceding year (97,40 % in 2007).

It will also be noted that, as in previous years, more than three quarters of the Court of Justice’s budget is allocated to expenditure on staff (75,30 % in 2008).

2.2.2.   Appropriations carried over

Table 4 below shows that a very large proportion of appropriations carried over from 2007 to 2008, the total amount of which was EUR 12 919 099, was used (91,42 % in 2008 as against a rate of use of 87,53 % in 2007 for appropriations carried over from 2006 to 2007).

2.2.3.   Transfers of appropriations

In the course of 2008, the Cot of Justice made 18 budget transfers pursuant to Articles 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, representing a total of EUR 10 931 540, a figure considerably lower than the amount of the same type of transfers made in 2007 (17 transfers in respect of a total of EUR 14 831 500).

In accordance with the provisions of Articles 22(2) and 24(2), (3) and (4) of the Financial Regulation, 8 transfers of appropriations were the subject of notification to the budgetary authority. Those transfers amount to a total of EUR 8 695 500 and correspond to close to 80 % of the total sum transferred in the financial year.

In addition, 10 transfers within articles, not notified to the budgetary authority as provided for under Article 22(4) of the Financial Regulation, were made in respect of a total of EUR 2 236 040 representing 20 % of the total sum transferred in the financial year.

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

3.   BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION IN 2008 BY CHAPTER

3.1.   TITLE 1 — Persons working with the institution

As Table 5 below shows, the final budget funding of Title 1 for the financial year 2008 is EUR 222 070 742, which represents almost 76 % of the total budget of the Court of Justice. Those appropriations were committed to the extent of EUR 218 656 267, in other words a very high rate of implementation of 98,46 % (as against 96,89 % in 2007). The expenditure in this title has increased by 6,03 % as compared with 2007.

3.1.1.   Chapter 1 0 — Members of the institution

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 28 824 623, were committed to the extent of EUR 28 131 683, which represents a high implementation rate of 97,60 %, a marked improvement as compared with 2007 (93,91 %).

It should be noted that the majority of appropriations requested for the year 2008 for Chapter 1 0 had been calculated on the basis of a rate of increase in remunerations of 2,2 %, whereas the actual increase fixed in December 2007 was of only 1,4 %. The 0,8 % difference in the increase allowed for savings in appropriations compared with initial estimates.

In addition, it may also be noted that certain savings have been achieved in respect of budget items connected with expenditure under the Staff Regulations relating to the renewal of the terms of office of the Members of the three courts (temporary allowances, rights connected with entering the service, transfer or leaving the service). Such differences are the result of the normal process of drawing up the budget, which requires estimates for the renewal of the Members’ terms of office 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 then the product both of decisions of the Member States and of individual decisions of the Members of the courts.

Further, it has been possible to make certain adjustments to the initial funding of appropriations in this chapter; these adjustments are detailed in Annex I. Apart from an increase within Chapter 1 0 (Article 1 0 3 ‘Pensions’, owing to the unforeseeable departure of Members wishing to retire), the transfers were made only to Item 2 0 0 1 ‘Lease/purchase’ in Title 2 (see comments below on appropriations in Chapter 2 0 ‘Buildings and associated costs’).

3.1.2.   Chapter 1 2 — Officials and temporary staff

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 174 905 500, were committed to the extent of EUR 172 675 432, which represents a high implementation rate of 98,72 %, an improvement as compared with 2007 (97,68 %).

Such good results are the product of a very active recruitment policy on the part of all of the Court’s services. The proportion of posts filled is highly satisfactory in respect of posts granted in connection with the enlargement of 2004 and also most encouraging for posts created for the recent EUR 2 enlargement. If non-enlargement posts are included, the proportion of posts filled as at 31 December 2008 is 98 %, a very high figure if the effect of ordinary staff turnover is taken into consideration.

However, certain savings in appropriations were achieved in Chapter 1 2, the main reasons for which are as follows:

| — | the appropriations requested for the relevant items of remunerations and connected expenses for the year 2008 had been calculated on the basis of a rate of increase in remunerations of 2,2 %, whereas the actual increase fixed in December 2007 was of only 1,4 %. Savings have, therefore, been made on remunerations in respect of the whole year, |

the rate of recruitment has been slower than expected and certain recruitment problems have persisted for particular skills (IT staff and interpreters).

It must be stressed that the surplus is, relatively speaking, tiny, if one considers, first, the total amount in Chapter 1 2 (approximately 60 % of the Court’s total budget) and, second, the difficulties involved in making budget estimates nearly 12 months in advance, using certain forecasting parameters that necessarily produce approximations (rate of increase in salaries, rate of inflation, rate of recruitment or staff turnover ...). The Court’s unceasing efforts in recent years (in terms of the quality of its forecasting and of the annual management of the budget) have, moreover, made it possible to reduce existing surpluses, a trend which has been maintained in 2008.

In addition, it has been possible to make certain adjustments to the initial funding of appropriations in this chapter; these adjustments are detailed in Annex I. Apart from an increase within Chapter 1 2 (Item 1 2 0 4 ‘Rights connected with entering the service, transfer and leaving the service’), the transfers of appropriations have facilitated, to a greater extent, an increase in Item 2 0 0 1 ‘Lease/purchase’ and, to a lesser extent, an increase in Item 1 6 1 2 ‘Further training’, Item 2 1 0 0 ‘Purchase, servicing and maintenance of equipment and software’ and Item 2 1 0 2 ‘External services for operation, creation and servicing of software and systems’ (corresponding observations are included below in relation to the various budget chapters concerned).

3.1.3.   Chapter 1 4 — Other staff and external services

Generally, the final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 14 396 460, were committed to the extent of EUR 13 964 180, which represents a high implementation rate of 97 %, a clear improvement as compared with 2007 (93,94 %).

Two items in this chapter represent 93 % of the final appropriations: Item 1 4 0 0 ‘Other staff’, where the rate of implementation was very high at 99,73 % (98,83 % in 2007), and Item 1 4 0 6 ‘External services in the linguistic field’, where the rate of implementation was 96,98 %, a clear improvement as compared with 2007 (93,54 %). In the latter sphere, which covers external services in both translation and interpreting, which are essential to the proper functioning of the Court’s judicial activities, the improvements in the use of appropriations is accounted for essentially by the increase in judicial activity but also, partly, by the particular difficulty in recruiting interpreters because of insufficient competition lists.

3.1.4.   Chapter 1 6 — Other expenditure relating to persons working with the institution

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 3 944 159, were committed to the extent of EUR 3 884 970, which represents a high implementation rate of 98,5 %, a clear improvement as compared with 2007 (95,19 %).

Two items in this chapter represent more than 77 % of the final appropriations: Item 1 6 1 2 ‘Further training’, where the rate of implementation was 97,80 %, and Item 1 6 5 4 ‘Early childhood centre’ where the rate of implementation is 100 %.

As Annex I shows, transfers from Chapter 1 2 have enabled unforeseeable requirements identified in Chapter 1 6 to be covered.

That is particularly the case as regards Item 1 6 1 2 ‘Further training’, funded from Chapter 1 2 ‘Officials and temporary staff’, which had to be increased essentially in order to cover the growth in specialised language training for the Court’s lawyer-linguists and interpreters as a direct result of the enlargements of 2004 and then of 2007, but also of the operation, since 1 March 2008, of the urgent preliminary ruling procedure which increases the requirements of language coverage. That increase in appropriations for language training must be placed in a wider context. When 50 % of its staff belong to the language services (translation and interpretation), the Court of Justice is thereby making a long-term investment which has, to date, enabled requests for new posts in this area to be restricted as far as possible.

The same applies as regards Item 1 6 5 4 ‘Early childhood centre’, which is allocated entirely to the funding of interinstitutional activities, of which the managing institutions are the Parliament for the creches and the Commission for the day-care centre/study centre. The managing institutions were faced with a significant increase in child-related activities (linked directly to the two recent phases of enlargement), with the resulting consequences in terms of investment in infrastructure and a need for specialist external staff. This information on the significance of those increases and their budgetary impact was not yet available when the 2008 budget was being drawn up, hence the increase in appropriations from Chapter 1 2.

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

As Table 6 below shows, the final budget funding in Title 2 for the 2008 financial year is EUR 71 970 249, which represents a little less than a quarter of the total budget of the Court of Justice. Those appropriations were committed to the extent of EUR 71 717 563, which is a very high rate of implementation of 99,65 % (99,30 % in 2007).

3.2.1.   Chapter 2 0 — Buildings and associated costs

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 44 881 884, were committed to the extent of EUR 44 737 141, or 99,68 %.

As explained below, the increase in expenditure in this chapter (15,57 % as compared with 2007) is directly linked to the new investment in immovable property.

The final appropriations in Articles 2 0 0 ‘Buildings’ and 2 0 2 ‘Buildings-related costs’ represent, respectively, 76 % (EUR 34 168 359) and 24 % (EUR 10 713 525) of the total appropriations in this chapter.

As regards Article 2 0 0, expenditure in Item 2 0 0 0 ‘Rent’ was EUR 11 182 459 (100 % rate of implementation) and expenditure in Item 2 0 0 1 ‘Lease/purchase’ was EUR 21 116 349 (100 % rate of implementation). Expenditure on the latter item is very largely assigned to prepayments, on the basis of contracts signed with the Luxembourg authorities, in respect of ongoing building projects, principally the new Palais project, which became necessary owing to the two recent enlargements.

The latter building project consisted of the renovation of the old Palais and the construction of a ‘ring’ surrounding it, of two high towers and of a gallery linking the old and new buildings. The construction/renovation works were, for the most part, completed in 2008, enabling the Members and staff of the Court of Justice to move into the new buildings on schedule.

In the interests of sound financial management, and as has already been mentioned above, the surplus appropriations released in Chapters 1 0 and 1 2 of the budget (7 million in total) were able to be assigned to prepayments over and above those already entered in that regard in the budget for 2008. Such a transaction is entirely in accord with the expressed wishes of the two arms of the budgetary authority concerning the Community institutions’ building projects, in order to restrict the burden on future budgets imposed by those projects.

It should also be mentioned that appropriations which became available in Item 2 0 0 7 ‘Fitting-out of premises’ (because of the non-installation of certain mobile shelving systems in the new Palais) were assigned to Item 2 0 0 8 ‘Studies and technical assistance in connection with building projects’ to facilitate the monitoring of this important building project.

As for expenditure in Article 2 0 2, the expenditure concerned is mainly on cleaning and maintenance, energy consumption and security/surveillance of the buildings, amounting to EUR 10 611 632 (99,05 % rate of implementation). The increase in this expenditure is directly linked to the increase in staff and to the new areas brought into use.

3.2.2.   Chapter 2 1 — Data processing, equipment and movable property

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 20 165 398, were committed to the extent of EUR 20 112 512,05, or 99,74 %; more than 90 % is accounted for by expenditure on data processing and movable property.

As in the case of expenditure in Chapter 2 0, the significant increase in expenditure in this chapter (40,12 % as compared with 2007) corresponds above all to the new investment (data processing and movable property) required in order to bring into use the new buildings in 2008.

As regards Article 2 1 0 ‘Equipment, operating costs and data-processing and telecommunications services’, current resources have, as in previous years, been applied to the regular renewal of the stock of hardware, the servicing of existing systems, to current support operations and to new judicial or administrative IT development projects.

In that context, additional appropriations (EUR 345 000 from Chapter 1 2) assigned to Item 2 1 0 2 ‘External services for operation, creation and servicing of software and systems’ have enabled the difficulties in recruiting IT staff to be addressed by using external subcontractors for priority applications, including, in particular, the introduction of the new urgent preliminary ruling procedure on 1 March 2008, the cost of which could not be predicted when the 2008 budget was drawn up.

In addition to this recurrent activity, a significant proportion of the resources in Article 2 1 0 (just over EUR 3 million) was applied, as planned, to the complete installation of the telephone network and of the multimedia data network in the buildings of the new Palais. Moreover, an increase in appropriations (approximately EUR 300 000) from Chapter 1 2 and from Item 2 1 0 3 ‘Telecommunications’ enabled the capacity and redundancy of the digital network to be increased and an independent security network to be incorporated which was not provided for in the initial specifications.

As regards Article 2 1 2 ‘Furniture’, a little over EUR 3,3 million of the EUR 3,5 million of appropriations voted in respect of that article was devoted, as planned, to the necessary investment in that area in connection with bringing the new buildings into use.

3.2.3.   Chapter 2 3 — Current administrative expenditure

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 3 054 265, were committed to the extent of EUR 3 029 172, or 99,18 %.

Over 58 % of the appropriations in this chapter were allocated to two types of expenditure:

| — | expenditure in Article 2 3 0 ‘Stationery, office supplies and various consumables’, which amounted to EUR 1 162 610,78 (99,85 % rate of implementation), and |
| --- | --- |

—

expenditure in Article 2 3 0 ‘Stationery, office supplies and various consumables’, which amounted to EUR 1 162 610,78 (99,85 % rate of implementation), and

| — | expenditure in Article 2 3 6 ‘Postal charges’, which amounted to EUR 614 991,41 (99,92 % rate of implementation). |
| --- | --- |

—

expenditure in Article 2 3 6 ‘Postal charges’, which amounted to EUR 614 991,41 (99,92 % rate of implementation).

It should be noted that, within this chapter, it was possible to accommodate the increase in postal charges as a result of savings in paper consumption.

Lastly, as regards Article 2 3 8 ‘Other administrative operating expenditure’, almost EUR 1 million of the EUR 1,2 million of appropriations entered in this article, was devoted, as envisaged, to the costs of moving the Members and staff into the new buildings, which, moreover, accounts for the significant increase in appropriations in Chapter 2 3 as compared with 2007 (38,8 %).

3.2.4.   Chapter 2 5 — Expenditure on meetings and conferences

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 728 340, were committed to the extent of EUR 704 344, or 96,71 % (93,16 % in 2007).

As far as expenditure in this chapter is concerned, 2008 was marked, in particular, by the inauguration ceremony for the buildings of the new Palais on 4 December 2008.

3.2.5.   Chapter 2 7 — Information: acquisition, archiving, production and distribution

The final appropriations in this chapter, amounting to EUR 3 140 362, were committed to the extent of EUR 3 134 393, or 99,81 % (99,84 % in 2007).

The appropriations in this chapter were allocated to two types of expenditure which entirely support the Court’s judicial activity:

| — | expenditure in Article 2 7 2 ‘Documentation, library and archiving expenditure’, which amounted to EUR 1 067 018 (99,55 % rate of implementation), and |
| --- | --- |

—

expenditure in Article 2 7 2 ‘Documentation, library and archiving expenditure’, which amounted to EUR 1 067 018 (99,55 % rate of implementation), and

| — | expenditure in Article 2 7 4 ‘Production and distribution’, which amounted to EUR 2 067 375 (99,95 % rate of implementation). |
| --- | --- |

—

expenditure in Article 2 7 4 ‘Production and distribution’, which amounted to EUR 2 067 375 (99,95 % rate of implementation).

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

Chapter 3 7 — Expenditure relating to certain institutions and bodies

The final budget funding in Title 3 consists solely of the appropriations in Chapter 3 7 for Item 3 7 1 0 ‘Court expenses’. In the 2008 financial year, those appropriations amounted to EUR 36 600 and were committed to the extent of EUR 11 450, a rate of implementation of 31,28 %.

The expenditure in question, for which the Court is liable, relates to legal aid, covering lawyers’ fees and other expenses. It is difficult to estimate such expenditure because the budget implementation varies greatly from year to year.

3.4.   TITLE 10 — Other expenditure

Chapter 10 0 — Provisional appropriations

No budget funding was allocated to Title 10 in the 2008 financial year.

---

(1)  That difference is reduced to 1,7 % if account is taken of assigned revenue available for re-employment which, in accordance with budgetary practice, is presented as a token entry (‘p.m.’ or pour mémoire) when the initial budget is drawn up but which is duly taken into account in that same budget via a deduction from the budget items of the expenditure concerned.
