INTRODUCTION

Mission of the European Court of Auditors

The European Court of Auditors is the EU institution established by the Treaty to carry out the audit of EU finances. As the EU’s external auditor it contributes to improving EU financial management and acts as the independent guardian of the financial interests of the citizens of the Union.

The Court renders audit services through which it assesses the collection and spending of EU funds. It examines whether financial operations have been properly recorded and disclosed, legally and regularly executed and managed so as to ensure economy, efficiency and effectiveness. The Court communicates the results of its audits in clear, relevant and objective reports. It also provides its opinion on financial management issues.

The Court promotes accountability and transparency and assists the European Parliament and Council in overseeing the implementation of the EU budget, particularly during the discharge procedure. The Court is committed to being an efficient organisation at the forefront of developments in public audit and administration.

1. The budgetary and financial management report for 2010 provides an overview on the implementation of the budget and explains events which had a significant impact on activities during the financial year.

2. The attached annexes (Annex I to Annex IV) provide a detailed picture by budget line.

REVENUE

Established entitlements 2010 and entitlements carried over from 2009

3. Established entitlements for the financial year 2010 came to a total of 18 932 771 euros (Table 1). Including the appropriations carried forward from the previous financial year (499 582 euros) and variations in 2010 (– 288 038 EUR) (Table 2) established entitlements amounted to an overall total of 19 144 315 euros. Table 1 Established entitlements 2010 (EUR) Title Established entitlements 2010 Total recovered 2010 % in total 4 — Revenue accruing from persons working with the institution 18 353 273 18 353 273 100,00 5 — Revenue accruing from the administrative operations of the institution 579 140 574 302 99,16 9 — Miscellaneous revenue 358 358 100,00 Total 18 932 771 18 927 934 99,97

Table 2 Entitlements carried over from 2009 (EUR) Title Entitlements carry-over Adjustments Total Total recovered % in total 4 — Revenue accruing from persons working with the institution 499 330 – 288 038 (1) 211 292 140 737 66,61 5 — Revenue accruing from the administrative operations of the institution 0 0 0 0 0,00 9 — Miscellaneous revenue 252 0 252 252 100,00 Total 499 582 – 288 038 211 544 140 989 66,65

4. The established entitlements for the financial year 2010 (18 932 771 euros) represent 95,09 % of the estimated revenue of 20 132 000 euros, compared to 98,38 % (18 791 087 euros) in 2009.

5. The total revenue recovered as at 31 December 2010 is 19 068 923 euros, of which 18 927 934 euros are recoveries on entitlements established in 2010 (Table 1) and 140 989 euros came from entitlements established prior to the financial year (Table 2).

6. Of the 19 068 923 euros of revenue recovered, 18 494 010 euros (96,98 %) represent the deductions made from the salaries of Members, staff and other agents (taxes, pensions and sickness insurance) and the transfer in of pension rights by staff. Other revenue recovered in the financial year came to 574 912 euros. In total, 45 866 euros of bank interest was earned in 2010. By way of comparison, in 2009, the deductions made from the salaries of Members, staff and other agents (taxes, pensions and sickness insurance) and the transfer in of pension rights by staff amounted to 98,24 % and the other revenue for the financial year came to 330 250 euros, of which the bank interest earned was 58 973 euros.

7. The amount still to be collected at the end of the financial year equals to 75 393 euros, i.e. 0,39 % of entitlements established during the financial year and residual entitlements established in preceding financial years. This compares to 499 582 euros in 2009 representing 2,59 %.

EXPENDITURE OF THE YEAR

Final appropriations available, commitments and payments by title

8. The total appropriations available for the year 2010, the appropriations committed, the payments made during the year and the remaining amount to be carried over to 2011 are summarised in Table 3 and Table 4 below.

9. A more detailed analysis by chapter can be found in Table 6 to Table 9 below together with the explanatory notes on some specific chapters and/or items. Table 3 Final appropriations available and commitments by title (EUR) Title Final appropriations Appropriations committed % Title 1 — Persons working with the institution — Total 118 524 398 109 147 112 92,09 Title 2 — Buildings, movable property, equipment and miscellaneous operating expenditure — Total 29 421 333 28 811 318 97,93 Titles 1 and 2 — Total 147 945 731 137 958 430 93,25

Budget transfers

10. In the course of the financial year, the Court effected 22 budgetary transfers for a total amount of 1 626 968 euros (Table 5), one of which of 13 900 euros related to the transfer from the reserve to the operational budget line of the Translation Directorate. These transfers were undertaken to ensure the smooth working of the various departments of the Court and to meet any requirements this entailed. The effects of the transfers can be seen at item level and above in Annex II. Table 5 Budget transfers in 2010 (EUR) Type of transfer Number of transfers in 2010 Total amount transferred Title to title 1 13 900 Chapter to chapter 3 91 000 Article to article 3 340 068 Item to item 5 997 000 Sub-item to sub-item 10 185 000 Total 22 1 626 968

Title 1 — People working with the institution

11. Table 6 and Table 7 below summarise the final appropriations, commitments and payments for 2010 in Title 1. Table 6 Final appropriations available and commitments in Title 1 (EUR) Chapters Final appropriations Appropriations committed % 10 — Members of the institution 13 364 068 12 979 864 97,13 12 — Officials and temporary staff 94 245 530 87 458 637 92,80 14 — Other staff and external services 4 603 800 3 589 599 77,97 16 — Other expenditure relating to persons working for the institution 6 311 000 5 119 012 81,11 Title 1 — Total 118 524 398 109 147 112 92,09

12. In 2010, the utilisation rate of appropriations of Title 1 equals 92,09 % (in 2009 this rate was 87,66 %).

13. Appropriations in Chapter 1 2 (officials and temporary staff) were utilised in 2010 at 92,80 % (in 2009 the rate was 86,86 %). This improved implementation rate includes the effect of the full accumulated arrears of the 2009 salary adjustment and the lower level of vacant positions. An amount of 6 786 893 euros was not used, partly due to the reduced but still continuing effects of delays in recruitment. The level of recruitment of competition laureates increased significantly at the end of 2009 and during 2010, the effects of which will be evident in 2011. A further reason is the fact that most agents who leave the institution do so at a relatively high grade while recruitment is almost entirely at entry grades.

14. This year’s utilisation rate of Chapter 14 (Other staff and external services) of 77,97 % (in 2009 this rate was 82,67 %) was mainly caused by an unused budget of 502 213 euros in budget item 1400 (concerning mainly contract workers) and 233 891 euros in budget item 1404 (mainly concerning national and international civil servants and private sector staff seconded to the Court of Auditors). The under-utilisation in budget item 1400 was mainly due to efforts to reduce costs. For budget item 1404, in 2010 the Court of Auditors adopted a policy which sets the numbers of such staff and this will therefore allow a more accurate budget establishment in the future. Table 7 Commitments and payments in Title 1 (EUR) Chapters Commitments Payments % Carry-over % 10 — Members of the institution 12 979 864 12 687 250 97,75 292 614 2,25 12 — Officials and temporary staff 87 458 637 87 103 778 99,59 354 859 0,41 14 — Other staff and external services 3 589 599 3 567 360 99,38 22 239 0,62 16 — Other expenditure relating to persons working for the institution 5 119 012 4 210 132 82,25 908 880 17,75 Title 1 — Total 109 147 112 107 568 520 98,55 1 578 592 1,45

15. In 2010, payments amounted to a total of 107 568 520 euros, equivalent to 90,76 % of the final appropriations and to 98,55 % of the total commitments (in 2009 these rates were 86,22 % and 98,36 % respectively).

16. Commitments carried over automatically to 2011 in accordance with Article 9(4) of the Financial Regulation amounted to 1 578 592 euros, i.e. 1,33 % of the final appropriations and 1,45 % of the total commitments (in 2009 these rates were 1,44 % and 1,64 % respectively).

17. The most important amount of the carry-over regarding Chapter 16 concerns missions for staff with an amount of 456 940 euros. There are a number of missions carried out in 2010 for which expense claims were not received or had been received but not fully processed by the end of the financial year. Other amounts — contributing to the carry-over of Chapter 16 — for which legal obligations existed but invoices were not received in 2010 are the early childhood centre (216 420 euros) and further training for staff (172 644 euros).

Title 2 — Buildings, movable property, equipment and miscellaneous operating expenditure

18. Table 8 and Table 9 below summarise the final appropriations, commitments and payments for 2010 in Title 2. Table 8 Final appropriations available and commitments in Title 2 (EUR) Chapters Final appropriations Appropriations committed % 20 — Buildings and associated costs with K3 18 561 000 18 390 592 99,08 20 — Buildings and associated costs without K3 7 561 000 7 390 592 97,75 21 — Data processing, equipment and movable property: purchase, hire and maintenance 7 199 333 7 136 582 99,13 23 — Current administrative expenditure 430 000 405 897 94,39 25 — Meetings and conferences 858 000 846 723 98,69 27 — Information: acquisition, archiving, production and distribution 2 373 000 2 031 524 85,61 Title 2 — Total with K3 29 421 333 28 811 318 97,93 Title 2 — Total without K3 18 421 333 17 811 318 96,69

19. The rate of utilisation of appropriations in Title 2 reached 97,93 % in 2010 (compared to 99,74 % in 2009). Table 9 Commitments and payments in Title 2 (EUR) Chapters Commitments Payments % Carry-over % 20 — Buildings and associated costs with K3 18 390 592 7 656 283 41,63 10 734 309 58,37 20 — Buildings and associated costs without K3 7 390 592 6 294 739 85,17 1 095 853 14,83 21 — Data processing, equipment and movable property: purchase, hire and maintenance 7 136 582 4 736 089 66,36 2 400 493 33,64 23 — Current administrative expenditure 405 897 273 493 67,38 132 404 32,62 25 — Meetings and conferences 846 723 642 377 75,87 204 346 24,13 27 — Information: acquisition, archiving, production and distribution 2 031 524 797 061 39,23 1 234 463 60,77 Title 2 — Total with K3 28 811 318 14 105 303 48,96 14 706 015 51,04 Title 2 — Total without K3 17 811 318 12 743 759 71,55 5 067 559 28,45

20. Payments amounted to a total of 14 105 303 euros (of which payments for the K3 building 1 361 544 euros), equivalent to 47,94 % of the final appropriations and to 48,96 % of the commitments (in 2009 these rates were 18,57 % and 18,61 % respectively). Commitments carried over to 2011 automatically in accordance with Article 9(4) of the Financial Regulation amounted to 14 706 015 euros, i.e. 49,98 % of the final appropriations and 51,04 % of the commitments (in 2009 these rates were 81,17 % and 81,39 % respectively).

The building project K3 and comparison with 2009

21. The second tranche of financing of 11 million euros for the Court’s K3 building project was included in the 2010 budget. This amount has been committed and a part of it paid in 2010. The balance carried forward to 2011 will cover contracts signed by the project manager on the Court’s behalf with construction companies and will be utilised in accordance with the submission made to the budgetary authority pursuant to Article 179(3) of the Financial Regulation on 13 January 2009. Construction work commenced in March 2010 and the project remains on time and within budget.

22. The K3 building project distorts the utilisation rates summarised in paragraph 20 above and makes a comparison with 2009 difficult. For a better comparison with the 2009 figures it is necessary to exclude the effects of this project. Excluding it, payments of Title 2 amounted to a total of 12 743 759 euros, equivalent to 69,18 % of the final appropriations and to 71,55 % of the commitments (in 2009 these rates were 70,16 % and 70,90 % respectively). Commitments automatically carried over to 2011 in accordance with Article 9(4) of the Financial Regulation amounted to 5 067 559 euros, i.e. 27,51 % of the final appropriations and 28,45 % of the commitments (in 2009 these rates were 28,80 % and 29,10 % respectively).

23. Of the 10 734 309 euros carried over in Chapter 20 (Buildings and associated costs) 9 638 456 euros concern the building project K3. The other major amounts in Chapter 20 which were committed but the invoices not received by the year-end were security (400 404 euros), cleaning and maintenance (360 968 euros) and energy consumption (274 928 euros).

24. The two budget lines which mainly contribute to the carry-over of 2 400 493 euros of Chapter 21 (data processing, equipment and movable property: purchase, hire and maintenance) are budget item 2102 (external services for the operation, implementation and maintenance of software and systems) with an amount 1 772 390 euros and budget item 2100 (purchase, work on and maintenance of equipment and software) with an amount of 430 152 euros. The carry-over represents commitments for which legal obligations exist but the invoices were not yet received at the year end (services delivered but not yet invoiced, ongoing projects not yet invoiced and purchase of material not yet delivered and/or invoiced). The carry-over is at a comparable level to that of last year (2 785 661 euros of which 2 762 096 was paid during 2010).

25. In Chapter 27 (information: acquisition, archiving, production and distribution), the carry-over concerns mainly budget item 2740 — Official Journal and budget item 2741 — Publications. The carry-over of 593 448 euros for budget item 2740 consists of the OJ publications of the last months of 2010 which will only be invoiced in 2011 (2). Regarding budget item 2741 — Publications — the carry-over of 284 187 euros covers the legal obligations for invoices not yet received (publication of some 2010 Special Reports). The same applies to budget item 2700 — Limited consultations, studies and surveys where 222 671 euros are carried over mainly for experts services for audit.

CARRY-OVERS OF 2009

26. The carry-overs of 2009 appropriations are shown in Table 10. Table 10 Carry-overs of 2009 appropriations to 2010 (EUR) Chapters Carry-over from 2009 to 2010 Payments on carry-over Cancellations 10 — Members of the institution 112 801 95 897 16 904 12 — Officials and temporary staff 158 853 128 416 30 437 14 — Other staff and external services 37 244 28 359 8 885 16 — Other expenditure relating to persons working for the institution 1 338 826 1 200 297 138 529 Title 1 — Total 1 647 724 1 452 969 194 755 20 — Buildings and associated costs with K3 55 111 220 54 964 716 146 504 20 — Buildings and associated costs without K3 849 373 706 369 143 004 21 — Data processing, equipment and movable property: purchase, hire and maintenance 2 785 661 2 762 096 23 565 23 — Current administrative expenditure 114 804 80 492 34 312 25 — Meetings and conferences 215 190 182 315 32 875 27 — Information: acquisition, archiving, production and distribution 1 322 990 925 996 396 994 Title 2 — Total with K3 59 549 865 58 915 615 634 250 Title 2 — Total without K3 5 288 018 4 657 268 630 750 Titles 1 and 2 — Total with K3 61 197 589 60 368 584 829 005 Titles 1 and 2 — Total without K3 6 935 742 6 110 237 825 505

27. Automatic carry-overs of appropriations (Article 9(4) of the Financial Regulation) from the financial year 2009 to the financial year 2010, totalling 61 197 589 euros, gave rise to payments amounting to 60 368 584 euros, i.e. an utilisation rate of 98,65 % (87,53 % in 2009).

28. Of the 54 964 716 euros payments on the carry-over budget of Chapter 20, 54 258 347 euros are payments of the budget line 2 0 0 3 (‘Acquisition of immovable property’) which concern the works for the construction of the K3 building started in March 2010. These payments covered by the first tranche of financing of 55 000 000 euros — included in the 2009 budget — concern contracts signed by the project manager (see paragraph 21) on the Court’s behalf with construction companies.

29. Within the above context, the project manager enters into financial commitments towards the construction companies. As a counter-balance to this, the contract between the Court and the project manager requires the Court to have sufficient funds, within the limits of what is available in the budget, to cover the liabilities of the project manager vis-à-vis the construction companies. To ensure this, the Court has signed a fiduciary contract with a local bank and thus holds the funds made available by the budgetary authority. The financial interest of the Union is at the same time protected by the use of the fiduciary contract.

30. This utilisation is in accordance with the submission made to the budgetary authority pursuant to Article 179(3).

(1) Adjustment necessary after the outsourcing of the transfer in of pension rights.
