1.1. Building-up the External Action Service 
The Treaty of the European Union (TEU) provi des that the High Representative of the 
Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Po licy chairs the Fore ign Affairs Council, 
contributes through her proposal towards the preparations of th e Common Foreign and 
Security Policy (CFSP) and ensures the im plementation of the decisions adopted by 
the European Council and the Council. The High Representative represents the Union in matters related to the CFSP, conducts th e dialogue with third parties on the Union's 
behalf and expresses the Union's position in international organisations and international conferences. 
In fulfilling her mandate, the High Representative shall be assisted by a European 
External Action Service (hereinafter EEAS)  as stipulated by the Treaty of the EU. 
An effective EEAS is critical to allo wing the EU to accomplish the strategic 
objectives set by the Lisbon Trea ty and to contribut e to strengthening its role on the 
global stage, giving it more profile, and enab ling it to project its interests and values 
more efficiently. 
The added value that the EEAS can bring to  the complex challenges and threats the 
EU is facing is its ability to combine the instruments available. A service drawing on the valuable expertise of the European Commission services, of services of the 
General Secretariat of the C ouncil and on the experience of the diplomatic service of 
EU Member States. 
On 24 March 2010 the Commission presented to the two arms of the legislative 
authority a proposal for the revision of the Financial Regulation (COM(2010) 85), and 
on 9 June 2010 it adopted the proposal for the modification of the Staff Regulation 
(COM(2010) 309).  
On 17 June the European Commission pr esented draft amendi ng budget No 6/2010 to 
the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2010 within the 
framework of the then draft Counc il Decision. Draft amending budget 6/2010 
proposes the establishment of a separate budget section (Section X) with a separate 
establishment plan for the EEAS in the general budget 2010. In order to guarantee business continuity and to ease budget mana gement during the transitional phase, the 
related appropriations were left in th e budget sections of  the Council and the 
Commission for the budget year 2010 and are to be transferred with this current 
amending letter for the 2011 budget. 
Draft amending budget 6/2010 also contains a request for additional staff and related 
appropriations covering the last quarter of the year 2010 (EUR 9,5 million): 20 AD posts at headquarters, 80 AD posts in delegations, as  well as some  support staff 
(10 contract agents at headquarters and 60 local agents in delegations). 
On 26 July 2010, on the proposal of the High Representative (HR), the Council 
adopted Decision (2010/427/EU) establishing the organisation and functioning of the 
EN 6   EN European External Action Service. At its July session, the European Parliament gave 
its opinion on the Decision. 
The Council, the European Parliament, the High Representative and the Commission 
are all committed to ensuring that the build- up of the new service takes account of the 
economic context, while enabling the EEAS to  take up the new tasks flowing from the 
Lisbon Treaty as quickly as possible. 
In spring this year the draft budget 2011 wa s adopted without the inclusion of the 
EEAS section. The present letter of amendm ent proposes, in line w ith draft amending 
budget No 6/2010, the creation of the new budget section with the related 
appropriations for the EEAS as from 1 January 2011. 
The present amending letter provides the budg etary resources allowing a viable and 
efficient start-up in view of an autono mous EEAS as from 2011, by creating a fully-
fledged budget section for the EEAS, wh ile ensuring the sm ooth functioning and 
continuity of all ongoing activities. 
The EEAS will operate with th e means transferred from the Commission and Council, 
which have been responsible for most of the tasks to be performed by the EEAS until 
now. This implies that this proposal does not only create the 2011 draft budget for the 
EEAS, but also amends the budget secti ons of the Commission and the Council. 
1.2. An efficient organisational structure wi thin a context of fiscal consolidation 
The establishment of the EEAS has to be gui ded by the principles of cost-efficiency, 
budget neutrality, and sound and efficient ma nagement, also taking into account the 
impact of the current economic crisis on national public finances and the required 
efforts for fiscal consolidation. 
Transitional arrangements and gradual build-up of capacity wi ll have to be used in the 
setting up of this service. In terms of  sound and efficient management, unnecessary 
duplication of tasks, functions and resources  with other structur es will have to be 
avoided, using all opportunities fo r rationalisation and streamlining. 
The departments and functions of the relevant  services of the General Secretariat of 
the Council and of the Comm ission listed in the Annex to  the Council Decision will 
be transferred all at once to the EEAS. Upon their transfer to the EEAS, each official 
will be assigned to a post in the func tion group corresponding to his/her grade. 
In addition, the EEAS will be gradually sta ffed with diplomats from Member States 
(temporary agents) and support staff. Once it reaches cruising speed, staff originating 
from the national diplomatic services is expe cted to represent one third of all AD staff. 
2. T HE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE EEAS  IN 2011 
2.1. Principles for the establishment of the EEAS budget  
This amending letter aims at establishing to  the extent possible a full annual operating 
budget for the EEAS. 
EN 7   EN However, only items which are fully identified and at the same time quantifiable with 
a sufficient degree of precision are budgeted. In other cases, for reasons of 
rationalisation and streamlining, service le vel agreements (e.g. for IT services, 
translations, etc.) are to be concluded between the EEAS and the Commission and the 
Council Secretariat General. These agreemen ts are to be reviewed regularly and 
adjusted accordingly, once the EEAS reaches cruising speed. 
The proposal covers the transfer of staff and related appropriations from the budget 
sections of the Commissi on (Section III) and the Counc il (Section II) according to 
annex I of Council Decision (2010/427/EU) establishing  the EEAS to the budget 
section of the EEAS (Section X). The budge t sections of the Commission and the 
Council are reduced accordingly. The amending le tter also includes the full-year cost 
related to the additional sta ff requested in draft amending budget 6/2010, an additional 
requests for 18 additional new posts at headquarters (EUR 2,0 million additional 
expenditure in 2011) and for upgraded  security of the EEAS premises 
(EUR 3,275 million additional expenditure in 2011). 
The resulting administrative expend iture for the EEAS in 2011 amounts to 
EUR 475,8 million, of which EUR 184,9 million at headquarters (Titles 1 and 2 of the 
section X of the general budget) and EU R 290,9 million in delegations (Title 3). 
2.2. EEAS establishment plan and related remuneration cost 
The total number of posts in the establishment plan of the EEAS is 1 643: 1 114 posts 
are transferred from the Commission, 411 from the Counc il, 100 new posts requested 
in draft amending budget 6/2010, and 18 new posts  requested in this  amending letter. 
The additional 18 new post (10 AD9 temporary posts and 8 AST5 permanent ones) are requested at this stage to address the most urgent needs in relation to increased 
workload resulting from taking over tasks previously carried out by the rotating 
presidency and other tasks flowing from the Lisbon Treaty, and to consolidate the 
EEAS capacity to function autonomousl y. The requested new AD posts will 
contribute towards reaching the target of 1/3 from national diplomatic services in the 
EEAS. 
The summary table below provides the break down of the EEAS posts by origin and 
distinguishing headquarters from  delegations. Those posts in clude posts with the staff 
to be transferred as well as vacant posts.

Total 1 114 411 100 18 1 643 
The revised establishment plans of the EEAS, Commission and Council are included 
in the budgetary annex. 
The corresponding expenditure for tota l remuneration is estimated at 
EUR 211,9 million. 
EN 8   EN The appropriations transferred from the Commission to the EEAS are estimated at 
EUR 152,4 million (EUR 74,0 million at he adquarters and EUR 78,4 million in 
delegations), and at EUR 40,9 million for posts transferred from the Council 
(EUR 37,0 million for headquarters and EU R 3,9 million for the liaison offices in 
New York and Geneva). 
The 100 new AD posts requested for the EEAS in 2010 in draft amending budget 
6/2010 have to be budgeted for the full year 2011 (EUR 17,4 million). The 18 new 
posts requested in this amending letter ar e budget as follows: the 8 AST posts for six 
months and the 10 AD posts exceptionally fo r 9 months to allow the EEAS to cope 
with its political objectives; the corresponding additional expenditure for remuneration is estimated at EUR 1,2 milli on. The resulting combined expenditure for 
remuneration is estimated at EUR 18,6 million (EUR 5,3 million at headquarters and EUR 13,3 million in delegations). 
2.3. EEAS other human resources (not covered by the establishment plan) 
In addition to the 1 643 posts in its own es tablishment plan, the EEAS will also have 
another estimated 2 077 full-time equiva lent (FTE) human resources, including 
seconded national experts, cont ract agents, agency staff, and local agents  (the latter 
only in delegations). The corresponding e xpenditure is estimated at EUR 70,4 million. 
The part of those appropri ations transferred to the EEAS from the Commission budget 
amount to EUR 58,3 million of which EUR 3,8 million (for an estimated 80 FTE) at headquarters and EUR 54,5 million (for an estimated 1 664 FTE) in delegations. 
The transfer from the Council budget am ount to EUR 9,6 million covering the human 
resources working in the fi eld of Common Foreign and Se curity Policy, European 
Security and Defence Policy (EUR 9,5 million for an estimated 260 FTE), as well as those working in the liaison offices in Ne w York and Geneva (EUR 0,1 million for an 
estimated 3 FTE). 
The amending letter also includes the appr opriations needed to cover the annual 
remuneration of the additional 10 contract agents at headquarters (EUR 0,4 million) 
and 60 local agents in delegations (EUR 2,1 million) requested in the draft amending 
budget 6/2010. 
2.4. EEAS other administrative expenditure

Appropriations relating to other staff rela ted expenditure such as training, medical 
services and missions amount to a total of EUR 36,28 million. 
EUR 29,6 million are transferred from  the Commission budget to the EEAS 
(EUR 6,2 million for expenditure rela ted to staff at headquarters and 
EUR 23,4 million for staff in delegations). EUR 5,0 million are transferred from the Council budget (EUR 3,6 million related to esta blishment plan posts at headquarters, 
EUR 0,1 million for staff in liaison o ffices in New York and Geneva, and 
EUR 1,3 million for the other human resource s working in the field of CFSP/ESDP). 
Appropriations amounting to EUR 1,3 million are requested to cover the needs related 
to the additional staff requested in th e draft amending budget 6/2010 (EUR 0,2 million 
for staff at headquarters and EUR 1, 1 million for staff in delegations). 
Appropriations amounting to EUR 0,3 million are requested to cover the needs related 
to the 18 additional posts requested for 2011. 
2.4.2. Buildings, IT equipment and other operating expenditure 
Appropriations relating to buildings, e quipment and other operating expenditure, 
including IT, amount to a total of EUR 157,3 million. 
 Buildings and related expenditure 
The transfer of appropriations from the Commission section of  the budget to the 
EEAS has been calculated on the basis of th e cost of office space currently occupied 
by staff to be transferred to the EEAS.  
Appropriations relating to buildings and re lated expenditure in the EEAS section of 
the budget amount to a total of EUR 112,7 million. The High Representative is 
expected to take a decision on the EEAS premises by the end of October. On this basis 
and in light of decisions to be taken on th e organisational structure current estimates 
will have to be adjusted. That may enta il the need for corresponding additional 
appropriations, which would then be requested in an amending budget. 
EUR 91,2 million are transferred from the Commission to the EEAS 
(EUR 12,3 million for headquarters and EUR 78,9 million for delegations). The amount for headquarters covers the share of the EEAS staff in the cost of the 
Charlemagne building and the bu ildings located in ‘Rue de la Loi 56’ and ‘Rue de la 
Science 15’. The amount for delegations cove rs the share of the EEAS staff in the 
total cost relating to buildings in the worldwide network of delegations. 
EUR 12,1 million are transferred from the Council (EUR 6,9 million at headquarters 
and EUR 5,2 million for the liaison offices in New York and Geneva. This amount 
covers inter alia the rent for buildings fo r which the contract will be handed over to 
the EEAS (the liaison offices in New York and Geneva, a building in ‘rue Froissart’ 
hosting part of the EUSRs' teams as well as  the ‘Kortenbergh’ bu ilding and the ‘Ecole 
Royale Militaire’ for the other human res ources working in the field of CFSP/ESDP) 
together with the associated costs for maintenance and security. All contractual 
obligations linked to these expenditu res will be taken over by the EEAS on 
EN 10   EN 1 January 2011. However, some of these cont racts require the European Union to pay 
in advance (article 178.2 of the FR), be fore 1 January 2011 but to charge those 
payments to the 2011 budget (for instance the rent for the first quarter of 2011 of the 
‘Kortenbergh’ building as well  as the first payments fo r cleaning, security etc.). 
Therefore a small amount will remain in title 3 of the 2011 Council budget, to cover 
the first needs of the EEAS in 2011. 
EUR 6,0 million are requested to cover need s for buildings relate d to the additional 
staff requested draft amending budget 6/2010  (EUR 0,4 million at headquarters and 
EUR 5,6 million for staff in delegations). 
EUR 0,1 million are requested to cover needs for buildings related to the 18 additional 
posts requested for 2011. Moreover, the EEAS will require upgraded security in its definitive premises; a minimum contingenc y amount of EUR 3,3 million is requested 
for security to cover the most urgent needs for adaptation works to prepare the 
installation of heavy techni cal platforms, secure mee ting facilities and secure 
communications rooms. 
 IT, equipment and other operating expenditure  
Appropriations relating to IT, equipment a nd other operating expenditure amount to a 
total of EUR 44,6 million. 
EUR 27,7 million are transferred from  the Commission budget to the EEAS 
(EUR 5,8 million for headquarters a nd EUR 21,9 million for delegations). 
EUR 14,5 million are transferred from the Council (EUR 14,3 million at headquarters 
and EUR 0,2 million for the liaison o ffices in New York and Geneva). 
EUR 2,1 million are requested to cover the needs for IT, equipment and other 
operating expenditure related to the additional staff re quested in draft amending 
budget 6/2010 (EUR 0,2 million at headquarters and EUR 1,9 million for staff in delegations). 
EUR 0,3 million are requested to cover the needs for IT, equipment and other 
operating expenditure related to the 18 additional posts requested for 2011. 
2.5. Gradual build-up – preliminary indications 
The Council Decision contains a number of pointers for th e top structure of the new 
service, including the posts of Executive Secretary General, two Deputy Secretary 
Generals and a very senior official re sponsible for Budget and Administration. The 
senior management will also include a nu mber of posts with responsibilities for 
different thematic and geographical areas. The senior structure of the EAS will need to cover the full range of responsibilities of  the High Representative (foreign policy, 
external relations, ESDP), taking account al so of her role as Vice President of the 
Commission. 
Some of the new needs of the EEAS will be covered by resources liberated from the 
efficiency gains of merging services tran sferred from the Council General Secretariat 
and Commission. However, additional resour ces could be required to manage the 
Presidency tasks of chairing over 1000 me etings of geographical and thematic 
EN 11   EN working groups per year as well as so me 350-400 political dialogue meetings with 
third countries at political and official  level (including Association Councils, 
Partnership and Co-ope ration Councils etc). 
The EEAS has a target of 10 % efficiency savings in headquarters spending to be 
achieved by eliminating duplication, syne rgies and savings from more modern 
working methods. These savings will make an  important contribution to meeting the 
costs of taking over the tasks of the rotating presidency (w hich have been covered in 
the past by national budgets of the country holdi ng the Presidency). This is the context 
in which the principle of budget neutrality will be achieved, once the initial start-up 
phase and associated transitional costs have been completed. 
As mentioned in the paper of the High Repr esentative on achieving by 2013 the target 
of 1/3 national diplomats, the conversion of  part of the appropr iations for seconded 
national expert (SNE) into AD posts and the upgrading of posts for support (AST) 
staff to AD level may also be needed to r each cruising speed. The paper also foresees 
over time the integration in the EEAS of the tasks of the EUSRs, currently funded 
under the CFSP budget. 
The High Representative intends to work up the details of the EEAS organisational 
structure with the senior management of th e service on the basis of these principles, 
once these key staff have been appointed. 
After completion of the transition and with a better view on budge tary requirements, 
the EEAS may present revised estimates of  expenditure with possible additional 
demands in the course of 2011 to be included in a draft amending budget. 
3. T HE COMMISSION AND COUNCIL SECTIONS OF THE BUDGET  
The establishment plans of Section II (E uropean Council and Counc il) and Section III 
(Commission) of the general budget are reduced by the numbe r of posts transferred to 
the EEAS, i.e. 1 114 posts from the Commission and 411 posts from the Council. 
The relating appropriations are transferred to the EEAS from the relevant budget lines 
in the Council and Commission budget which are reduced in accordance. 
4. C ONCLUSION  
There is a general consensus on enabling the EEAS to take up the new tasks flowing 
from the Lisbon Treaty as quickly as possibl e, while ensuring that the build-up of the 
new service also takes account of the curr ent economic context. The building-up of 
the EEAS has to be guided by the principles of budget neutrality, cost-efficiency and sound and efficient management. 
In line with the European Commission propos al on the modification of the Financial 
Regulation, the present amending letter proposes to amend budget Sections II 
(European Council and Council) and III (Commi ssion) and to create a new Section X 
(European External Action Service) in th e 2011 draft budget, as  reflected in the 
enclosed budgetary annex. 
EN 12   EN The proposed establishment plan of the EEAS includes 1 643 posts, of which 1 114 
are transferred from the Commission, 411 from the Counc il, 100 new posts requested 
in draft amending budget 6/2010, and 18 additional new posts requested for 2011. In addition, the EEAS will also have another estimated 2 077 full-time equivalent human 
resources, including seconded na tional experts, contract agents, agency staff, and local 
agents (the latter in delegations). 
The resulting administrative expend iture for the EEAS in 2011 amounts to 
EUR 475,8 million, of which EUR 82,2 million tr ansferred from Section II (European 
Council and Council), EUR 359,2 million from Section III (Commission), 
EUR 29,2 million requested as additional approp riations in relation to the full-year 
cost of the new human resources (100 new AD posts, 60 local agents in delegations 
and 10 contract agents at headquarters) requested in draft amending budget 6/2010, 
and EUR 5,2 million requested for 18 additional posts and strengthened security of the 
EEAS definitive premises in 2011.
