THE EAGF 2009 BUDGETARY PROCEDURE 

The 2009 budgetary procedure for the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and 
the  corresponding  amounts  of  appropriations  involved  at  each  stage  of  the  procedure  are 
summarised in the table presented in Annex 1. 

The 2009  EAGF budget  was adopted by  the Budgetary Authority in December  2008. The 
budget’s  commitment  appropriations  for  agricultural  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 for policy area 11 – fisheries. 

The total amount of the 2009 budget’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  payment  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  agriculture  as  well  as  to  the  veterinary  and 
phyto-sanitary measures.

REVENUE 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  under  conformity  clearance 
decisions, from irregularities and from the milk levy are designated as revenue assigned to 
the financing of EAGF expenditure. 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 revenue 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  concerned  and  the  carry  over  of  the  balance  of 
assigned  revenue  left  available  from  the  previous  budget  year.  As  a  consequence,  in  its 
proposal for an Amending Letter on the amount of appropriations to grant to the EAGF, the 
Commission takes into consideration the total assigned 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 whose appropriations do 
not include the expected assigned revenue.

OJ L 209, 11.8.2005, p. 1. 
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 the year (Article 10 of the financial regulation).

At the time of establishment of the 2009 Amending Letter, the Commission’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  correspondingly.  The  receipts  from  the  milk  levy  were  estimated  at 
EUR 337.0 million. 

The  amount  of  assigned  revenue  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 assigned this revenue of EUR 2 376.0 million 
to 2 schemes. Specifically:  

– 

– 

EUR 515.0 million was assigned to the operational funds for producer organisations in 
the fruits and vegetables sector, and 

EUR 1 861.0 million to the single payment scheme.  

For these 2 schemes, the Budgetary Authority eventually voted appropriations 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 appropriations and the assigned revenue mentioned 
above corresponds to a total estimate of appropriations requirements of EUR 775.0 million 
for the operational funds for producer 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  aforementioned  two  schemes  are  included  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  foreseen  appropriations  amounts  to  EUR 858.6 million 
for fruits and vegetables and EUR 33 156.0 million for decoupled direct aids.  

3. 

REVENUE  ORIGINATING  FROM  THE  TEMPORARY  RESTRUCTURING  AMOUNTS  (SUGAR 
SECTOR) 

The  temporary  restructuring  amounts  in  the  sugar  sector  are  treated  as  assigned  revenue 
intended  to  finance  the  sugar  restructuring  aid  and  other  aids  foreseen  in  the  Sugar 
Restructuring  Fund.  For  each  marketing  year,  starting  with  2006/07  up  to  2008/09,  these 
amounts  relate  to  the  sugar,  insulin  syrup  and  isoglucose  quantitative  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  upcoming  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.

COMMENTS 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 based on the indicator, which was established on 
the  basis  of  the  dispositions  of  Article  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  divergences  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  drawn  up  on  the  basis  of  the  average  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  parity  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  plans  for  the  most  deprived  persons  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 and, 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 producer organisations compared to the level of 
the indicator on 31 January 2009.  

The main reason for this apparent over-implementation is that the total credit appropriations 
foreseen  for  this  sector  amount  to  EUR 858.6 million  (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  the  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 January 2009. At this point in 
time,  the  Commission  does  not  dispose  of  any  information  as  to  the  Member  States’ 
intentions with regard to these programmes and, therefore, considers this execution pattern 
to be temporary.  

EN

   EN 

4.2.4.  Milk and milk products (–EUR 6.4 million) 

The implementation level of this sector is slightly under the level of budget appropriations 
pointed out by the indicator on 31 January 2009. However, 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  skimmed  milk  powder,  the  quantity  offered  for 
intervention  in  the  first  week  amounted  to  43 000 t,  the  maximum  limit  being  equal  to 
109 000 t.  This  situation  was  not  foreseeable  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  for  this  sector  amount  to  EUR 33 156.0 million 
including the assigned revenue (NB: for 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 level 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  made.  However,  at  this  point  in  time,  the 
Commission cannot completely exclude that the total credit appropriations available for this 
sector  will  not  be  sufficient  to  cover  the  expenditure  expected  to  be  incurred  by  Member 
States in 2009 when taking account 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  the  one  of  last  year  for  the  same  scheme. 
Indeed, in 2009, Member States, as of 31 January 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 aids 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  made.  However,  at  this  point  in  time,  the 
Commission cannot exclude that the total credit appropriations available for this sector will 
not be sufficient to cover the expenditure expected to be incurred by the Member States in 
2009.

Audit of agricultural expenditure 

4.4.1.  Accounting clearance of previous years’ accounts (+EUR 126.8 million) 

This  implementation  pattern  results  from  the  comparison  of  the  clearance  of  accounts 
indicator  as  of 
level  of 
corrections  already  made  with 
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.

IMPLEMENTATION OF REVENUE ASSIGNED TO EAGF 

The  table  in  Annex 2  shows  that  assigned  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 additional 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  compared  to  the  initial  estimate  of 
EUR 337.0 million; 

finally, contrary to the initially estimated 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  available  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  revenue  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 estimated at the time of the establishment of the 
2009 budget. 

6. 

IMPLEMENTATION  OF  REVENUE  ORIGINATING  FROM  THE  TEMPORARY  RESTRUCTURING 
AMOUNTS (SUGAR SECTOR) 

In  November 2008,  Member  States  paid  the  second  instalment  of  the  temporary 
restructuring  amounts  due  for  the  marketing  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.

IMPLEMENTATION OF SUGAR RESTRUCTURING FUND 

As of the end of January 2009, Member States had made practically no payments for aids to 
the restructured sugar industry, for diversification aids or for aids to sugar refining. 

8. 

CONCLUSIONS 

The provisional execution of the 2009 EAGF budget's appropriations, for the period up to 
31  January  2009,  shows  that  monthly  reimbursements  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  acceleration  in  the  rhythm  of  payments  by  the 
Member States for direct aids and the amount needed to cover the shortfall in the accounting 
corrections,  after 
these  corrections  by  
increase  of 
– EUR 410.0 million, are, primarily, behind this execution pattern. 

the  Budgetary  Authority's 

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  30/6/2009  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  will  need  to  be  covered  at  the  end  of  the 
budget year, has to be taken into account in conjunction with the situation in the milk and 
milk  products  sector  where  additional  expenditure  can  be  expected.  Therefore,  the 
Commission, at this point in time, cannot exclude that the budget’s available appropriations 
will not be sufficient to cover the foreseen EAGF expenditure.
