COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL

Financial information on the European Development Fund

1.Foreword

In accordance with Article 7(3) of the 11th EDF Internal Agreement and Article 21(2) of Council Regulation (EU) 2015/323 on the financial regulation applicable to the 11th European Development Fund (hereinafter referred to as "11th EDF Financial Regulation"), the Commission presents in this document estimates of commitments, payments and contributions for the period 2016 and 2017, taking into account the forecasts of the European Investment Bank (EIB).

This document sets out the financial implementation of the EDFs (8th to 11th) for 2015 and the forecasts of implementation for 2016 and 2017.

Member States contribute funds directly to the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the instruments which it manages under the 9th, 10th, and 11th EDFs (the Investment Facility and interest-rate subsidies).

2.Introduction

The Commission and the EIB have updated their commitment and payment forecasts for 2016 and 2017 for each of the ACP countries and the OCTs . The payment forecasts in particular have been compiled with the aim of helping Member States to assess as accurately as possible the amounts they need to earmark in their national budgets while ensuring that sufficient financial resources are available for the EDF to avoid liquidity problems.

In accordance with Article 7 of the 11th EDF Internal Agreement and Article 21(4) of the 11th EDF Financial Regulation , the estimates provided in this document have been updated.

The graph below shows the general trend in gross commitments and payments since 1999 until 2015 and projections for the period 2016-2017 (Commission and EIB cumulated amounts).

Gross commitments and payments: trend 1999-2017 (EUR Million)

Note: Figures from implementation of the European Development Funds as of 31 December 2015 (commitments, payments and financial situation) and forecasts for 2016 and 2017.

3.Financial forecasts for 2016 - 2017

The following table provides an update of the commitments, the payments and of the contributions, based on the Commission's latest forecasts.
on the exercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred to the Commission under Council Directive 96/16/EC on statistical surveys of milk and milk products

1.Background

Council Directive 96/16/EC on statistical surveys of milk and milk products was adopted on 19 March 1996. It was amended by Regulation (EU) No 1350/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 amending certain legislative acts in the field of agricultural and fishery statistics to align implementing powers with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Article 3(2) of the Directive confers powers to adopt delegated acts on the Commission. This power is conferred ‘to amend the list of milk products covered by the surveys and to lay down the standard definitions applicable for the communication of the results for the various products’. The statistical actions provided for in the delegated acts must be duly justified by input from experts based on a cost-effectiveness analysis, where appropriate. This should include an assessment of the burden on respondents and of production costs.

The list of milk products and their standard definitions are set out in Annex I to Commission Decision 97/80/EC of 18 December 1996 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Directive 96/16/EC on statistical surveys of milk and milk products.

According to Article 6a(2) to the Directive, the power to adopt delegated acts is conferred for a period of five years from 10 January 2014. This power is to be tacitly extended for periods of five years unless the European Parliament or the Council object.

The Commission is obliged to draw up a report on the delegation of power not later than nine months before the end of the five-year period. This report fulfils this obligation.

2.Commission exercise of delegated powers under Council Directive 96/16/EC

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Directive 96/16/EC.

Most milk products were not subject to changes during the period in question. A few of them were subject to changes, but these were so minor that the adaptation of European and national statistical systems could not be justified.



3.Conclusions

The Commission has not yet exercised the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on it by Council Directive 96/16/EC.

The Commission considers that it should continue to have these powers as in the future it may need to adopt a delegated act to modify the points mentioned in Article 3(2) of the Directive to meet the needs of data users in the context of the future common agricultural policy.
on the exercise of the power to adopt delegated acts conferred on the Commission under Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 concerning Union framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector

1.Background

Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 of the European Parliament and the Council on the establishment of a Union framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector and support for scientific advice regarding the common fisheries policy confers on the Commission the power to adopt delegated acts. Under Article 4 of this Regulation the Commission shall adopt a multiannual programme for the collection and management of data of biological, environmental, technical and socioeconomic data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors (EU MAP). Article 4(1) empowers the Commission to adopt the detailed list of data requirements to achieve the objectives set out in Articles 2 and 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the common fisheries policy that forms part of this EU MAP by delegated act.

The power to adopt delegated acts is conferred for a period of 3 years from 10 July 2017. This power is tacitly extended for periods of 3 years unless the European Parliament or the Council object. According to Article 24(2) the Commission shall draw up a report in respect of the delegation of power. This report fulfils this obligation.

2.Commission exercise of delegated powers under Regulation (EU) 2017/1004

The 2017-2019 EU MAP expired on 31 December 2019. The Commission used its delegated power to adopt Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910 of 13 March 2019 establishing the multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socioeconomic data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. The Commission Delegated Decision renews the corresponding provisions and rules of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1251 for 2020-2021, without changing the substance of the provisions.

Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910 was adopted to establish the EU MAP for 2020-2021. For the purpose of the EU MAP this Decision has to be considered in conjunction with Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/909, adopted on 18 February 2019 and also applicable for 2020-2021.

3.Conclusion

The Commission has exercised its delegated powers upon the expiry of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1251 in 2019. Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910 ensures the framework, provisions and rules establishing a multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socioeconomic data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors for 2020-2021, thus ensuring the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 for this period. The Commission sees the need to extend the empowerment to adopt consequent delegated acts establishing multiannual Union programmes beyond 2021.
REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL

3.Comments on the provisional implementation of the 2020 EAGF budget

1.The 2020 EAGF budget procedure

On 27 November 2019, the European Parliament adopted the 2020 general budget of the European Union. The budget included for the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) commitment and payment appropriations amounting to EUR 43 410 million and EUR 43 380 million respectively, for direct payments and market related expenditure.

The reason for the different amounts for both types of appropriations is the use of differentiated appropriations for certain measures directly implemented by the Commission. These relate mainly to promotion measures for agricultural products and to policy strategy and coordination measures.

2.Revenue assigned to the EAGF

Based on the provisions of Article 43 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, revenue originating from financial corrections under accounting and conformity clearance decisions and irregularities constitutes revenue assigned to the financing of EAGF expenditure.

According to these provisions, assigned revenue can cover the financing needs of any EAGF expenditure. Any part of the revenue left unused within the budget year is automatically carried forward to the following budget year .

The 2020 EAGF budget includes:

·the Commission's latest estimates of the financing needs for market measures and direct payments,

·the estimates of assigned revenue to be collected in the course of the budget year,

·and the carry-over of the balance of assigned revenue left available from the previous budget year.

In its proposal for the 2020 EAGF budget appropriations, the Commission took into consideration the total expected assigned revenue, and requested for the 2020 budget a level of appropriations calculated by deducting the estimated assigned revenue from the estimated needs. The Budgetary Authority adopted the EAGF budget taking account of the expected assigned revenue.

At the time of establishing the 2020 budget, the Commission’s estimates of the available assigned revenue was EUR 1 071 million, composed of:

·assigned revenue expected to be generated during the 2020 budget year, estimated at EUR 719 million (EUR 592 million from conformity clearance corrections and EUR 127 million from irregularities);

·assigned revenue to be carried over from 2019, estimated at EUR 352 million.

The Commission assigned this estimated revenue of EUR 1 071 million to the following schemes:

·EUR 150 million to the operational funds for producer organisations in fruit and vegetables, and

·EUR 921 million to the basic payment scheme.

The sum of the voted appropriations and the assigned revenue for these schemes corresponds to:

·EUR 849 million for the operational funds for producer organisations in fruit and vegetables, and
