Report on budgetary and financial management in 2010

Court of Justice of the European Union

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 of the European Union for 2010, gives an account of, in particular, the rate of implementation of appropriations. Likewise, it offers a summary of the transfers of appropriations between various budget items carried out in the course of the financial year 2010.

Chapter 2 of this Report gives an overview of budget implementation in 2010 and Chapter 3 examines in more detail the trends in budget lines by budget Chapter. Lastly, the annexes provide tables with figures, again relating to budget implementation in 2010.

In regard to judicial activity as such, readers are invited to consult the Annual Report of the Court of Justice of the European Union for 2010 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 General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal.

2. OVERVIEW OF BUDGETARY IMPLEMENTATION IN 2010

2.1. Revenue

The estimated revenue of the Court of Justice of the European Union for the financial year 2010 was EUR 39 957 000.

As shown in Table 1 below, the established entitlements in 2010 come to EUR 44 043 087 and are 10,23 % higher than estimated (1).

Table 1

Estimated revenue and established entitlements

(EUR) Title Estimated revenue 2010 Established entitlements 2010 % of total 4 Revenue accruing from persons working with the institutions and other Community bodies 39 817 000,00 42 959 551,79 97,54 5 Revenue accruing from the administration of the institution 130 000,00 1 072 685,37 2,44 9 Miscellaneous revenue 10 000,00 10 850,00 0,02 Total 39 957 000,00 44 043 087,16 100,00 % 100,00 % 110,23 %

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 (97,54 %), while revenue in Titles 5 and 9 (chiefly the reimbursement by the Court of Auditors and by the Translation Centre of the cost of leasing parts of Bâtiment T/Tbis, proceeds from the sale of publications, telecommunication refunds and financial products) represents less than 2,45 % 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 4 represents most of the total revenue from entitlements carried over and used in 2010 (75,93 %).

2.2. Expenditure

2.2.1. Appropriations in the financial year

The appropriations entered in the budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union for the financial year 2010 were EUR 329 300 000.

As shown in Table 3 below, the budget implementation for 2010 amounts to EUR 323 784 221,31 and represents a rate of use of final appropriations of 98,32 %, which is still very high, and is, as in 2009, greater than 98 %.

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 staff (Title 1 expenditure).

Annexes III and IV provide detailed additional data on the use of appropriations in the financial year 2010 (comparison with 2009 and details of implementation by budget line).

2.2.2. Appropriations carried over

Table 4 below shows that, of the appropriations carried over from 2009 to 2010, the total of which was EUR 18 228 846,03, a very large proportion was used (84,9 %).

Annex IV provides additional detailed information with figures on the use of appropriations carried over from 2009 to 2010.

2.2.3. Appropriations corresponding to assigned revenue

Mention is made of the fact that, pursuant to Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, some revenue may be assigned to the financing of specific items of expenditure. Such assigned revenue represents, therefore, additional appropriations which can be used by the Court.

Table 5 below details, by Chapter, the sums of assigned revenue carried over from one financial year to another and the assigned revenue established and collected during the financial year.

As shown in Table 5, the appropriations of assigned revenue established in 2009 come to EUR 969 356, nearly 90 % of which amount corresponds to the following items:

— reimbursement of buildings-related costs in respect of areas made available to other institutions (EUR 594 526),

— income from the sale of Court publications such as case-law reports (EUR 177 030),

— reimbursement of telephone or postage costs (EUR 119 106).

Annex V provides additional detailed information with figures on the use of assigned revenue.

2.2.4. Transfers of appropriations

In the course of 2010, the Court of Justice of the European Union made 17 budget transfers pursuant to Articles 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, representing a total of EUR 8 345 278, that is to say, a figure lower than the amount of the same type of transfers made in 2009 (EUR 9 345 304).

In accordance with the provisions of Articles 22(2) and 24(4) of the Financial Regulation, seven transfers of appropriations were the subject of notification to the budgetary authority. Those transfers amount to EUR 5 621 700 and form the greater part (67 %) of the total sum of appropriations transferred in the financial year. So far as Title 1 is concerned, the release of provisional appropriations (almost EUR 3 million) contributed, in particular, to the payment of exceptional back pay (of 1,85 %) dating from July 2009, decided by the Council in December 2010 in response to a judgment of the Court of Justice (3). Furthermore, the appropriations for external services in the sphere of translation were reinforced, by EUR 1 million, in order to cope with the heavy workload caused by the increase in the institution’s judicial activity. So far as Title 2 is concerned, a sum of almost EUR 1 million made it possible to increase the prepayments made towards the buildings project of renovating and extending the Court’s buildings in order to reduce future budget costs under the lease-purchase contract entered into with the Luxembourg authorities.

In addition, 10 transfers within articles, not notified to the budgetary authority, as provided for pursuant to Article 22(4) of the Financial Regulation, were made for a total of EUR 2 723 578.

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

3. BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION 2010 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 2010 is EUR 248 514 000, which represents a little more than 75 % of the total budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Those appropriations were committed to the extent of EUR 243 614 674,62, which is a rate of implementation of 98,03 %, which remains very high (98,71 % in 2009).

Table 6

Use of appropriations in the financial year

(EUR) Title 1 Appropriations in 2010 financial year Commitments in 2010 financial year % of implementation 10 Members of the institution 32 267 000,00 30 180 903,86 93,53 12 Officials and temporary staff 194 718 000,00 192 360 236,34 98,79 14 Other staff and external services 16 550 000,00 16 242 289,99 98,14 16 Other expenditure relating to persons working with the institution 4 979 000,00 4 831 244,43 97,03 Total 248 514 000,00 243 614 674,62 98,03

3.1.1. Chapter 10 – Members of the institution

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 32 267 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 30 180 903,86, a rate of implementation of 93,53 % (97,12 % in 2009).

It may be noted that certain variations in the implementation of the appropriations for the remuneration of the Members are linked to inevitable differences between the rates of adaptation of remuneration decided by the Council and the assumptions made when the budget was drawn up (+ 1,85 % on 1 January 2010, against an estimate of 2,1 %, and + 0,01 % on 1 July 2010 against an estimate of + 2,5 %). The savings in appropriations thus made and the release of provisional appropriations (EUR 386 000) also made it possible to cope with an exceptional payment of arrears of pay (1,85 %), as stated at paragraph 2.2.4.

In addition, it may also be noted that some savings of appropriations, of slightly over a million euros, have been achieved in 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 subsequently the product both of decisions of the Member States and of individual decisions of the Members of the courts.

No transfer was made in 2010 from Chapter 10 to other chapters in the budget.

3.1.2. Chapter 12 – Officials and temporary staff

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 194 718 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 192 360 236,34, which is a very high implementation rate of 98,79 % (98,96 % in 2009).

As in 2009, those very good results continue to be the fruit borne by a very active recruitment policy on the part of all of the Court’s services. The proportion of posts filled at the end of the year 2010 is nearly 98 %, a remarkable figure if the effect of ordinary staff turnover among all staff of the institution (1 927 posts) is taken into consideration. Furthermore, it must be borne in mind that, in the context of a grave economic crisis, the Court of Justice had requested no new posts for 2010, intensifying its policy of redeployment in order to fill certain priority needs internally.

As with the appropriations in Chapter 10, it is noted that certain variations in the implementation of the appropriations for the remuneration of officials and temporary staff are linked to inevitable differences between the rates of adaptation of remuneration decided by the Council and the assumptions made when the budget was drawn up (+ 1,85 % on 1 January 2010, against an estimate of 2,1 %, and + 0,01 % on 1 July 2010 against an estimate of + 2,5 %).

The savings in appropriations thus made and the release of provisional appropriations (EUR 2,38 million) also made it possible to cope with an exceptional payment of arrears of pay (1,85 %), as stated at paragraph 2.2.4. They also enabled a transfer of a million euros to reinforce the appropriations under Item 1406‘External services in the linguistic field’ in Chapter 14.

3.1.3. Chapter 14 – Other staff and external services

Generally, the final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 16 550 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 16 242 289,99, a high rate of implementation of 98,14 % (99,5 % in 2009).

The final appropriations in Chapter 14 are concentrated, almost entirely, in two budget items. Nearly one third of those appropriations relate to Item 1400‘Other staff’, where the rate of implementation remains high (a little more than 96 %). The remaining two thirds relate to Item 1406‘External services in the linguistic field’, where the rate of implementation is almost 100 %.

As regards the latter item, which covers external services in both translation and interpreting, it must be recorded that, notwithstanding the various measures of organisation taken by the Court in recent years with a view to limiting translation requirements, the translation workload grew by more than 12 % in 2010, compared to 2009. So, and owing to the wish of the Court of Justice not to request new posts in 2010, it has been necessary to have increased recourse to external sub-contracting and to reinforce the corresponding appropriations by the sum of one million euros from Chapter 12.

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

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 4 979 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 4 831 244,43, a high rate of implementation of 97,03 % (96,97 % in 2009).

Two items in this Chapter represent 79 % of the final appropriations: Item 1612‘Further training’, where the rate of implementation remains high (nearly 97 %, as in 2009), and Item 1654‘Early childhood centre’ where the rate of implementation is 100 %.

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

As shown in Table 7 below, the final budget funding in Title 2 for the financial year 2010 is EUR 80 746 000, representing a little less than a quarter of the total budget of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Those appropriations were committed to the extent of EUR 80 149 024,44, which is a very high rate of implementation of 99,26 % (the same as in 2009).

Use of appropriations in the financial year

3.2.1. Chapter 20 – Buildings and associated costs

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 59 350 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 59 082 644,75, or 99,55 % (99,96 % in 2009).

After a sharp rise in those appropriations in Chapter 20 from 2008 to 2009 (+ 33 %) by reason of the completion and the bringing into service of the new Palais buildings, (4) the level of those appropriations has stabilised in relation to 2009 (– 0,6 %).

The final appropriations in Articles 200‘Buildings’ and 202‘Buildings-related costs’ represent respectively 77 % (EUR 45 723 000) and 23 % (EUR 13 627 000) of the total appropriations in this Chapter.

As regards Article 200‘Buildings’, expenditure in Item 2000‘Rent’ came to EUR 10 841 538 (100 % rate of implementation), corresponding to the rental of four buildings (Allegro, Geos, the T Building and the T bis Building), the occupation of which remains necessary all the same because of staff numbers and the unavailability of the old buildings Annexes A, B et C which are undergoing substantial renovation to bring them into compliance with various national standards that have come into force since their construction (between 1986 and 1993).

Expenditure in Item 2001‘Lease-purchase’ came to nearly EUR 33 million (rate of implementation of 100 %), chiefly representing the charges payable in performance of contracts concluded with the Luxembourg authorities for the construction and purchase of the various buildings of the Court of Justice. Furthermore, in the interests of sound financial management, it was possible to assign certain surplus appropriations released in Chapters 20, 21, 23 and 27 of the budget to a prepayment over and above those previously made since 2007. 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.

As regards expenditure in Article 202‘Buildings-related costs’, that amounts to EUR 13 454 818 (rate of implementation of 98,74 %) 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 operate effectively. After 2009, a year in which the use of the buildings in the new Palais was, broadly, at a running-in stage, it may be noted that steps taken (adjustments/calibration of technical installations, rationalisation of cleaning and maintenance and security/surveillance systems) have enabled a saving of appropriations contributing to the advance payment mentioned in the previous paragraph.

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

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 15 592 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 15 491 884,75, a very high rate of 99,36 % (98,54 % in 2009).

The final appropriations of Chapter 21, down by 1,7 % compared to 2009, are 90 % related to expenditure linked to IT and movable property.

So far as concerns Article 210‘Equipment, operating costs and data-processing and telecommunications services’, and unlike the situation in 2009, the Court of Justice has met its needs in respect of purchases of stock, maintenance of installations and development of applications without any reinforcement of appropriations. Having regard to the size of its and the specialised applications whose maintenance is vital to the proper working of judicial activity, it was possible to obtain that result only thanks, first, to the advantages of interinstitutional cooperation as intensive as possible and, second, to more selective arbitration in respect of new developments.

As regards Article 212‘Furniture’, 100 % of the allocated appropriations were committed. Those appropriations were devoted, as planned, to purchasing additional furniture and to renewing some of the furniture (acquired more than 15 years ago).

3.2.3. Chapter 23 – Current administrative expenditure

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 2 143 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 2 101 661,65, or 98,07 % (88,18 % in 2009).

Of the final appropriations in Chapter 21, down overall by 1,7 % in relation to 2009, more than 78 % was allocated to the two following types of expenditure:

— expenditure in Article 230‘Stationery, office supplies and various consumables’, which amounted to EUR 985 261 (rate of implementation 99,93 %, compared with 80,75 % in 2009),

— expenditure in Article 236‘Postal charges’, which amounted to EUR 692 000 (rate of implementation of 100 % compared with 95,22 % in 2009).

Major savings of appropriations have already been made in recent years, particularly as regards paper, due to ever greater use of electronic transfer of information within the institution. The reduction is, therefore, less considerable in 2010, but it has none the less been possible to release EUR 25 000 and transfer them to Item 2001‘Lease/purchase’.

In contrast, it was necessary to reinforce the budget for postal charges by EUR 71 000 on account of the larger than foreseen increase both in postage rates and in the quantity of post to be stamped (in particular, registered mail directly linked to the increase in the large number of cases dealt with by the Court).

Lastly, Article 238 has a relatively restricted budget for promoting 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. That budget had to be reinforced by EUR 45 000, under the contract concluded with the Ville de Luxembourg, because the number of users of the urban bus network was higher than had been foreseen.

3.2.4. Chapter 25 – Expenditure on meetings and conferences

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 798 000, were committed to the extent of EUR 629 948,85, or 78,94 % (93,28 % in 2009).

These appropriations are, largely, devoted to expenditure linked to the ceremonial activities of the Court and to expenditure devoted to visits to the institution.

In 2010, ceremonial activity was marked by a series of significant events:

— several formal sittings, including in particular those concerning the solemn undertaking given by the President and Members of the Commission who took up their duties in late 2009, by the Members of the Court of Auditors who took up their duties during 2010 and by the Members of the General Court on the replacements made in October 2010,

— Conference on the fifth anniversary of the setting up of the Civil Service Tribunal.

The organisation of visits to the Court of Justice responds to the aim of improving the communication of information on the Court and on European Union case-law to legal practitioners and students of law. By organising contacts with national judges (meetings and seminars), the Court continues to pursue the twofold objective both of making national judges aware of how the Court operates, of the preliminary ruling procedure and the practice of European Union law and also of offering the judges a forum where they may meet.

Budget estimates for those types of activity being by nature more fortuitous, the lower level of activity in 2010 explains the lower rate of implementation in relation to 2009.

3.2.5. Chapter 27 – Information: acquisition, archiving, production and distribution

The final appropriations in this Chapter, amounting to EUR 2 863 000, were committed to the extent of 2 842 884,44, that is to say, 99,3 % (99,22 % in 2009).

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 1 162 884 (implementation rate of 100 %). It must be borne in mind that although that expenditure constitutes an investment necessary to the proper working of the three courts and the departments of the institution, the amount of those appropriations had been voluntarily frozen at the 2009 level,

— expenditure in Article 274‘Production and distribution’, which amounted to EUR 1 680 000 (implementation rate of 100 %). Such expenditure essentially supports the communication of judgments, opinions and the case-law reports of the three courts to the public. The reduction in the amount of appropriations in relation to 2009 is considerable (nearly 28 %) and is, in essence, due to the very much more advantageous conditions of the new contracts for the publication of the Official Journal concluded by the Office of Publications. In consequence, the surplus appropriations have enabled a reinforcement of certain lines in Chapters 20 (Item 2001) and 23 (Articles 236 and 238).

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

Chapter 37 – 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 financial year 2010, those appropriations amounted to EUR 40 000 and were committed to the extent of EUR 20 522,25, an implementation rate of 51,3 % (78,58 % in 2009).

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, which explains why the level of budget implementation varies greatly from year to year.

3.4. TITLE 10 – Other expenditure

Chapter 10 0 – Provisional appropriations

The original budget funding of EUR 485 700 is equal to 5 % of the annual amount of appropriations for external translation services placed in reserve at the time of the budgetary procedure for 2010. The European Parliament voted a horizontal amendment for several European institutions pending the drafting of a special report on interinstitutional cooperation in the sphere of translation. That reserve was released early in July 2010 by transfer of the abovementioned amount to Item 1406‘External services in the linguistic field’.

(1) That difference is reduced to 2,16 % 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 pro memoriam) when the initial budget is drawn up, but is duly taken into account in that same budget via a deduction from the budget items of the expenditure concerned.

(2) The Parliament had originally put by in reserve, for most of the institutions, 5 % of the appropriations for external services in the linguistic field pending the preparation of a special report on interinstitutional cooperation in this sphere. That reserve (EUR 485 700 for the Court of Justice) was released in early July 2010.
