ANNEX 1: EAGF  – 2009  BUDGETARY PROCEDURE  
ANNEX 2: P ROVISIONAL CONSUMPTION OF EAGF  APPROPRIATIONS UP TO 31/01/2009 
EN 3   EN 1. T HE EAGF  2009  BUDGETARY PROCEDURE  
The 2009 budgetary procedure for the European  Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and 
the corresponding amounts of appr opriations involved at each stage of the procedure are 
summarised in the table presented in Annex 1. 
The 2009 EAGF budget was adopted by the Budge tary Authority in December 2008. The 
budget’s commitment appropriations for agricultu ral market measures and direct aids 
(policy area 05) amounted to EUR 40 781.2 million and its payment appropriations 
amounted to EUR 40 962.7 million. Furthermore,  commitment appropriations amounting to 
EUR 320.7 million and payment appropriations amounting to EUR 271.1 million were foreseen for policy area 17 – veterinary and phyto-sanitary measures. Finally, commitment 
appropriations amounting to EUR 29.5 million and payment appropriations amounting to 
EUR 32.0 million were foreseen fo r policy area 11 – fisheries. 
The total amount of the 2009 budg et’s commitment appropriations  for EAGF amounted to 
EUR 41 131.4 million and its payment appropriations amounted to EUR 41 265.8 million. The difference between commitment and paymen t appropriations is due to the fact that 
differentiated appropriations are used for payments which are made directly by the 
Commission. These schemes relate mainly to the promotion of agricultural products, to 
policy strategy and coordination measures for ag riculture as well as to the veterinary and 
phyto-sanitary measures. 
2. R
EVENUE ASSIGNED TO EAGF 
On the basis of the rules of Article 34 of the new CAP Financing Regulation (EC) 
No 1290/20051, revenue originating from financial corrections unde r conformity clearance 
decisions, from irregularities and from the milk  levy are designated as revenue assigned to 
the financing of EAGF expenditu re. According to these rules, assigned revenue can be used, 
to cover the financing of EAGF expenditure incurred by the Member States. In the case 
where part of this reve nue is not used, then, this part will be automatically carried over into 
the following budget year.2 
The Commission’s Amending Letter  presents both its latest estimate on the amount of 
appropriations which will be needed in order to  finance the expected expenditure for market 
measures and direct aids and estimates of the assigned revenue which is expected to be collected in the course of the budget year co ncerned and the carry ove r of the balance of 
assigned revenue left available from the prev ious budget year. As a consequence, in its 
proposal for an Amending Letter on the amount of  appropriations to gr ant to the EAGF, the 
Commission takes into consideration the total as signed revenue expected to be available in 
the coming budget year by requesting a level of  appropriations calculated by deducting the 
estimated level of assigned revenue from its estimated expenditure for EAGF for the same year. The Budgetary Authority, then, adopts the new EAGF budget whos e appropriations do 
not include the expected assigned revenue.  
                                                
 
1 OJ L 209, 11.8.2005, p. 1. 
2 Assigned revenue carried over has to be used first, this means before the appropriations voted by the Budgetary 
Authority or the assigned revenues generated in th e year (Article 10 of the financial regulation). 
EN 4   EN At the time of establishment of the 2009 Am ending Letter, the Comm ission’s estimates for 
the available assigned revenue amounted  to EUR 2 376.0 million. Specifically:  
– The assigned revenue expected to be generated in the course of the 2009 budget year 
was estimated at EUR 1 042 million. Amounts of EUR 600.0 million and EUR 105.0 million were expected from conformity clearance corrections and from irregularities corres pondingly. The receipts from the milk levy were estimated at 
EUR 337.0 million. 
– The amount of assigned reve nue expected to be  carried over from the budget year 
2008 into 2009 was estimated at EUR 1 334.0 million. 
In its 2009 Amending Letter, the Commission as signed this revenue of EUR 2 376.0 million 
to 2 schemes. Specifically:  
– EUR 515.0 million was assigned to the operationa l funds for producer organisations in 
the fruits and vegetables sector, and 
– EUR 1 861.0 million to the si ngle payment scheme.  
For these 2 schemes, the Budgetary Authority ev entually voted appropri ations amounting to 
EUR 260.0 million and EUR 27 239.0 million in accordance with the Commission’s Amending Letter. The sum of the voted approp riations and the assi gned revenue mentioned 
above corresponds to a total estimate of a ppropriations requirements of EUR 775.0 million 
for the operational funds for produc er organisations in the fruits  and vegetables sector and 
EUR 29 100.0 million for the single payment scheme. 
In annex 2 which presents the 2009 budget’ s execution for the period to 31 January 2009, 
the voted appropriations for the aforementione d two schemes are incl uded in the original 
budget appropriations for the fruits and vegetables  sector and for the decoupled direct aids 
sector which amount to EUR 343.6 million and to EUR 31 295.0 million correspondingly without taking account of the aforementioned assigned revenue. After including the revenue 
assigned to these sectors, the total fores een appropriations amounts to EUR 858.6 million 
for fruits and vegetables and EUR 33 156.0 million for decoupled direct aids.  
3. R
EVENUE ORIGINATING FROM THE TE MPORARY RESTRUCTURING AMOUNTS (SUGAR 
SECTOR ) 
The temporary restructuring amounts in the s ugar sector are treated as assigned revenue 
intended to finance the sugar restructuring aid and other ai ds foreseen in the Sugar 
Restructuring Fund. For each marketing ye ar, starting with 2006/07 up to 2008/09, these 
amounts relate to the sugar, insulin syru p and isoglucose quantita tive quotas held by 
operators in each Member State and they are to be paid by the Member States into the Fund in two instalments, the deadlines of which are 31 March and 30 November respectively for 
each year. At the time of establishment of the 2009 budget, the estimation of this revenue 
amounted to EUR 1 742.0 million for the upcom ing budget year. At the same time, an 
amount of EUR 2 006.0 million was expected to be carried over from the budget year 2008 
into 2009. 
EN 5   EN 4. C OMMENTS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2009  EAGF  BUDGET  
For the period 16 October 2008 to 31 January  2009, the budget’s actual implementation 
level compared to the expenditure profile base d on the indicator, whic h was established on 
the basis of the dispositions of Articl e 20 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, is 
presented in the table of Annex 2. Hereafter, a brief commentary is presented for the budget 
articles which show the most significant dive rgences between the actual and the expected 
level of implementation of the 2009 budget: 
4.1. Monetary factors 
In accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, the budget adopted by the 
Budgetary Authority was draw n up on the basis of the aver age parity rate for July-
September 2008 of EUR 1 = US $ 1.51. It should be noted that, for the period 1 August 2008 to 31 January 2009, the average pa rity rate was approximately equal to 
EUR 1 = US $ 1.37, i.e. 9.3% below the rate used  for the establishment of the 2009 budget.  
4.2. Market factors 
4.2.1. Food programmes (–EUR 44.8 million) 
This execution below the budget’s appropriations is due to the slowing down of the rhythm 
of implementation of the 2009 pl ans for the most deprived pe rsons by the Member States 
when compared to the level pointed out by the indicator. At this point in time, the 
Commission does not dispose of any information as to the Member States’ intentions with 
regard to the implementation of these plans a nd, therefore, considers this execution pattern 
to be temporary. 
4.2.2. Fruit and vegetables (+EUR 119.0 million) 
The implementation pattern of this sector is primarily due to the payments made by the 
Member States for the operational funds for prod ucer organisations compared to the level of 
the indicator on 31 January 2009.  
The main reason for this apparent over-impleme ntation is that the total credit appropriations 
foreseen for this sector amount to EUR 858.6 m illion (NB: for details, please see point 2 
above) when taking account of the assigned revenue. The foreseen revenue of EUR 515.0 million will be used to cover expenditure  incurred in this sector above the voted 
appropriations of EUR 343.6 million.  
At this point in time, the Commission considers that the total credit appropriations available 
for this sector will be sufficient to cover th e expenditure expected to be incurred by the 
Member States in 2009.  
4.2.3. Wine (–EUR 163.9 million) 
This execution below the budget’s appropriations is due to the very slow implementation 
rhythms of the national support programmes by Member States when compared to the level 
of budget appropriations pointed out by the indicator on 31 Janua ry 2009. At this point in 
time, the Commission does not dispose of an y information as to the Member States’ 
intentions with regard  to these programmes and, therefore,  considers this execution pattern 
to be temporary.  
EN 6   EN 4.2.4. Milk and milk products (–EUR 6.4 million) 
The implementation level of this sector is s lightly under the level of  budget appropriations 
pointed out by the indicator on 31 January 2009. Ho wever, the situation in dairy markets has 
quickly deteriorated. In order to face this growing crisis , the Commission proposed the re-
introduction of export refunds for dairy products. Furthermore, market prices in the EU have 
fallen substantially and they currently stand below intervention buying–in prices. At this 
point in time, butter intervention at fixed price has been closed because the maximum 
quantity of 30 000 t was exceeded on the third day after its opening. Butter intervention by 
tender has been now opened. As regards ski mmed milk powder, the quantity offered for 
intervention in the first w eek amounted to 43 000 t, th e maximum limit being equal to 
109 000 t. This situation was not foreseeabl e at the time of establishing the 2009 budget 
which did not foresee sufficient appropriations to face off this crisis.  
4.3. Direct aids (+EUR 2 527.5 million) 
4.3.1. Decoupled direct aids (+EUR 2 285.0 million)  
The total credit appropriations foreseen fo r this sector amount to EUR 33 156.0 million 
including the assigned revenue (NB: fo r details, please see point 2 above). 
This implementation level is primarily due to the payments made by Member States for the 
single payment scheme compared to the leve l of budget appropriations  pointed out by the 
indicator on 31 January 2009.  
The main reason for this implementation level is  due to the rhythm of payments made for 
the single payment scheme which has been faster than expected. The indicator foresees an execution of 83.1% of the voted appropriations  compared to an actual execution of 90.4% 
(execution on voted budget and assigned revenue compared with voted budget) as of 
31 January 2009. 
The Commission expects that, as the deadline of 30/6/2009 for the payment of direct aids 
approaches, the Member States' payment rhythm will naturally slow down since most of the due aid payments would have been already ma de. However, at this point in time, the 
Commission cannot completely exclude that the to tal credit appropriations available for this 
sector will not be sufficient to cover the ex penditure expected to be incurred by Member 
States in 2009 when taking acc ount of the assigned revenue. 
4.3.2. Other direct aids (+EUR 245.8 million) 
This implementation pattern is primarily due to the faster rhythm of payments made, in the 
same period, by Member States compared to th e one of last year for the same scheme. 
Indeed, in 2009, Member States, as of 31 Ja nuary 2009, had utilised 62.1% of the budget's 
appropriations compared to last year's rhythm of 59.9%, that is: Member States paid, in the 
same period, approximately 2.2% more ai ds this year than last year.  
The Commission expects that, as the deadline of 30/6/2009 for the payment of direct aids 
approaches, the Member States' payment rhythm will naturally slow down since most of the due aid payments would have been already ma de. However, at this point in time, the 
Commission cannot exclude that th e total credit appropria tions available for this sector will 
not be sufficient to cover the expenditure exp ected to be incurred by the Member States in 
2009. 
EN 7   EN 4.4. Audit of agricultural expenditure 
4.4.1. Accounting clearance of previous years’ accounts (+EUR 126.8 million) 
This implementation pattern results from th e comparison of the clearance of accounts 
corrections already made w ith the level of the corre sponding indicator as of 
31 January 2009. However, it should be noted that all the accounting clearance decisions 
expected within this budget year have not been  taken yet. Therefore, the Commission, at this 
point in time, considers this level of implementation to be temporary. 
5. I MPLEMENTATION OF REVENUE ASSIGNED TO EAGF 
The table in Annex 2 shows that assigne d revenue amounting to EUR 439.2 million was 
collected as of 31 January 2009. Specifically: 
– the revenue from corrections based on conformity clearance decisions amounted to 
approximately EUR 62.2 million with additi onal amounts expected by the end of the 
budget year; 
– the revenue from irregularities amounted  to approximately EUR 39.8 million with 
additional amounts also expected by the end of the budget year, and  
– at this point in time, most of the revenue from the milk levy has been collected and it 
amounts to approximately EUR 337.2 million co mpared to the initial estimate of 
EUR 337.0 million; 
– finally, contrary to the initially estimat ed amount of EUR 1 334.0 million, the amount 
of assigned revenue eventually carried  over from 2008 into 2009 amounted to 
EUR 1 474.1 million. 
Therefore, the amount of assigned revenue av ailable for financing EAGF expenditure, on 
31 January 2009, amounts to EUR 1 913.4 million. At  this point in time, the Commission 
estimates that the amount of assigned re venue still to be collected amounts to 
EUR 602.8 million (estimated assigned revenue to be generated in the 2009 budget of 
EUR 1 042 million of which EUR 439.2 million has been collected) and this amount would 
be needed in order to cover the expenditure es timated at the time of the establishment of the 
2009 budget. 
6. I MPLEMENTATION OF REVENUE ORIGINATING FROM THE TEMPORARY RESTRUCTURING 
AMOUNTS (SUGAR SECTOR ) 
In November 2008, Member States paid th e second instalment of the temporary 
restructuring amounts due for the marketi ng year 2007/08 amounting to approximately 
EUR 831.3 million. 
Contrary to the initially estimated amount of EUR 2 006.0 million, the amount of assigned 
revenue carried over from 2008 into 2009 eventually amounted to EUR 2 044.6 million. 
EN 8   EN 7. I MPLEMENTATION OF SUGAR RESTRUCTURING FUND 
As of the end of January 2009, Member States ha d made practically no payments for aids to 
the restructured sugar industr y, for diversification aids or  for aids to sugar refining. 
8. C ONCLUSIONS  
The provisional execution of the 2009 EAGF budge t's appropriations, for the period up to 
31 January 2009, shows that monthly reimburse ments to Member States exceeded the 
budget's voted appropriations, pointed out by the current level of the indicator, by 
approximately EUR 2 405.5 million and when taking account of the collected assigned 
revenue by about EUR 492.1 million. Assigned revenue amounting to EUR 602.8 million is still expected to be collected  in 2009. The accelera tion in the rhythm of payments by the 
Member States for direct aids and the amount ne eded to cover the shortfall in the accounting 
corrections, after the Budgetary Authority 's increase of these corrections by  
– EUR 410.0 million, are, primarily , behind this execution pattern. 
The Commission expects that, in the course of the year, the accelerated rhythm of payments 
for direct aids will slow down as the deadline of 30/6/20 09 for making these payments 
approaches and that the amount of expected assigned revenue will gradually increase. However, the Budgetary Authority's increase of accounting clearance corrections by  – EUR 410.0 million, the major part of which w ill need to be covered at the end of the 
budget year, has to be taken into account in c onjunction with the situa tion in the milk and 
milk products sector where additional expe nditure can be expected. Therefore, the 
Commission, at this point in time, cannot excl ude that the budget’s av ailable appropriations 
will not be sufficient to cover the foreseen EAGF expenditure.
