Amending Letter for 2009 

In October 2008 the Commission adopted Amending Letter No 2 to the 2009 PDB, 
setting commitment appropriation requirements for EAGF at EUR 41 579.89 million 
which was lower by EUR 1 280.4 million compared to the Preliminary Draft Budget.

December 2008.  

The voted EAGF commitment appropriations amounted to EUR 41 131.4 million in 
total, ie: they were lower by EUR 448.5 million compared to the Amending Letter. 
Within  this  total,  commitment  appropriations  amounting  to  EUR 3 409.6 million

1.5. 

Amending Budget No 8/2009 

In  June  2009,  the  Commission  proposed  and  the  Budgetary  Authority  adopted 
Amending  Budget  No 8/2009,  of  the  2009  budget’s  commitment  appropriations, 
which  increased  the  amount  available  for  EAGF  by  EUR 49.3 million  destined  for

Amending Budget No 10/2009 

In November 2009, the Commission proposed and the Budgetary Authority adopted 
Amending  Budget  No 10/2009  whereby  EAGF’s  commitment  appropriations  were 
reduced by EUR 135.0 million in order to contribute to the financing of the European 
Economic  Recovery  Package  (EERP)  and  TRDI's2  payment  appropriations  were

Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund-Guarantee Section). 

1.7. 

Revenue assigned to EAGF3 

In accordance with Article 34 of the CAP Financing Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 
the  receipts  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. This assigned revenue can be used, 
partly  or  wholly,  to  cover  the  financing  of  EAGF  expenditure  if  the  budget 
appropriations  granted  by  the  Budgetary  Authority  are  not  sufficient  to  finance  the 
expenditure  incurred  by  the  Member  States.  In  the  case  where  all  or  part  of  this 
revenue  is  not  used,  then,  it  will  be  automatically  carried  over  into  the  following 
budget year in order to finance budgetary needs of that year. 

At  the  time  of  establishment  of  the  2009  budget,  an  estimate  of  the  revenue  was 
made both for the amount expected to be collected in the course of the 2009 budget 
year as well as of the amount which was expected to be carried over from the budget 
year 2008 into 2009. This estimate was taken into consideration when the Budgetary 
Authority adopted the 2009 budget. Specifically:  

– 

– 

Revenue from the conformity clearance corrections and from irregularities was 
estimated at EUR 600.0 million and EUR 105.0 million correspondingly while 
the receipts from the milk levy were estimated at EUR 337.0 million. Thus, the 
total amount of assigned revenue expected to be collected in the course of the 
2009 budget year was estimated at EUR 1 042.0 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. 

The  total  amount  of  EUR 2 376.0 million  was  taken  into  consideration  as  the 
Commission  reduced  the  appropriations  requested  for  the  operational  funds  for 
producer organisations in the fruit and vegetables sector by EUR 515.0 million  and 
for the single payment scheme by EUR 1 861.0 million. After taking account of these 
amounts,  the  Budgetary  Authority  eventually  granted  appropriations  amounting  to 
EUR 260.0 million and EUR 27 239.0 million correspondingly for these schemes. 

For details, please see annexes 4.I and 4.II. 

1.8. 

Temporary restructuring amounts in the sugar sector4  

The  temporary  restructuring  amounts  in  the  sugar  sector,  as  set  out  in  article  11  of 
Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  320/2006,  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, inulin 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.

expected  to  be  transferred  to  the  EU  budget  within  the  year  amounted  to 
EUR 1 742.0 million.  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.

2.1.4.1.  Monthly payments on the provision for expenditure 

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 1290/2005  of  21  June  2005  on  the  financing  of  the 
Common  Agricultural  Policy6  states  in  Article  15  that  "monthly  payments  shall  be 
made  by  the  Commission  …  for  expenditure  effected  by  Member  States'  accredited 
paying  agencies  during  the  reference  month".  Monthly  payments  shall  be  made  to 
each  Member  State  at  the  latest  on  the  third  working  day  of  the  second  month 
following that in which the expenditure is effected.  

The  monthly  payments  are  a  reimbursement  of  net  expenditure  (after  deduction  of 
revenue) which has been already carried out and are made available on the basis of 
the monthly declarations forwarded by the Member States7. The monthly booking of 
expenditure  and  revenue  is  subject  to  checks  and  corrections  on  the  basis  of  the 
detailed  declaration8.  Moreover,  these  payments  will  become  final  after  the 
verification  during  the  following  exercises  in  the  light  of  the  clearance  of  accounts 
decisions. 

Payments made by the Member States from 16.10.2008 to 15.10.2009 are covered by 
the  system  for  monthly  payments.  For  the  remaining  payments,  the  Commission 
carries out direct payments for a limited number of measures. 

For  exercise  2009,  the  total  net  amount  of  monthly  payments  effected  was 
EUR 43 197 343 784.95. 

2.1.4.2.  Decisions on monthly payments for 2009 

For  the  financial  year  2009,  the  Commission  adopted  twelve  decisions  on  monthly 
payments.  Furthermore,  an  additional  monthly  payment,  adjusting  those  already 
granted  for  the  total  expenditure  chargeable  to  the  year,  was  decided  in  December 
2009.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2009 EAGF BUDGET  

3.1. 

Introduction 

The  2009  agricultural  year  was  marked  by  a  remarkable  fall  in  agricultural  output 
prices,  both  in  the  EU  and  in  world  markets,  particularly  in  the  dairy  sector.  The 
difficult situation in agricultural markets was further accentuated by the world-wide 
financial  crisis  and  by  the  overall  negative  economic  outlook.  These  developments 
affected  both  the  level  of  EAGF  expenditure  and  the  utilisation  of  available  credit 
appropriations in certain areas of the budget. 

The  implementation  of  the  budget  amounted  to  EUR 43 454.1 million.  This 
expenditure  was  funded  by  the  budget's  initial  appropriations,  by  using  the  entire 
amount of assigned revenue, of EUR 1 474.1 million, carried over from 2008 and a 
part of the assigned revenue collected in 2009 amounting to EUR 944.5 million out 
of  a  total  EUR 1 086.0 million.  Within  Policy  area  05-Agriculture  and  Rural

Development, the expenditure for market measures amounted to EUR 3 987 million 
and  for  direct  aids  to  EUR 39 113.9 million,  both  sectors  exceeding  the  budget’s 
voted  appropriations.  This  apparent  over-implementation  was  partly  covered  by 
transfers of appropriations from other items of the budget and partly by the revenue 
which was assigned to the EAGF budget. 

Furthermore, the aforementioned total implementation amount includes expenditure 
for fisheries market measures (Policy area 11) of EUR 29.4 million as well as those 
corresponding to veterinary expenditure (Policy area 17) of EUR 364.3 million. (NB: 
For details please see annex 3). Annex 5 presents a breakdown of EAGF expenditure

COMMENTS  ON  THE  IMPLEMENTATION  OF  THE  AGRICULTURAL 
BUDGET 

A  brief  commentary  on 
appropriations is presented hereafter based on details appearing in annex 3. 

implementation  of 

the  agricultural  budget's 

the 

4.1. 

Chapter 05 02: Interventions in agricultural markets 

4.1.1. 

Introduction 

Total  payments  for  this  area  of  the  budget  amounted  to  EUR 3 987.0 million  and 
they  were 
to 
the  budget’s  voted  appropriations  amounting 
EUR 3 287.7 million and by assigned revenue amounting to EUR 702.0 million. 

funded  by 

4.1.2.  Cereals  

The  sector's  over-implementation  was  primarily  due  to  the  fact  that  intervention 
stocks increased from around 0.047 million tonnes at the start of the year to around 
1.56 million tonnes by the end of the year. 

4.1.3.  Food programmes 

With  regard  to  the  distribution  of  agricultural  products  to  deprived  persons,  the 
observed  under-implementation  was  due 
the  administrative  difficulties 
encountered  by  certain  Member  States  which  prevented  them  from  making  all  the 
market  purchases for the  various products foreseen in the 2009 distribution plan. It 
should  also  be  noted  that  the  budgeted  amount  increased  to  EUR  500  million  in 
2009. 

to 

4.1.4.  Fruit and vegetables  

The sector's apparent over-implementation was due to the technical effect of funding 
part  of  the  expenditure  by  assigned  revenue,  amounting  to  EUR 413.4 million,  for 
operational funds for producer organisations and by the increased payments incurred 
by Member States for aid to producer groups for preliminary recognition. 

4.1.5.  Products of the wine-growing sector 

The primary measures funded in this sector are the national support programmes and 
the grubbing up scheme. With regard to the national support programmes, Member 
States incurred a satisfactory implementation of these programmes in view of the fact

that  this  was  the  first  year  of  their  application.  With  regard  to  the  grubbing  up 
scheme, applications for aid were much higher resulting in higher expenditure by the 
Member States concerned compared to the appropriations retained in the budget. 

4.1.6.  Milk and milk products 

In order to counter the difficult market situation in the dairy sector, the Commission 
reintroduced  export  refunds  in  January  2009.  Furthermore,  significant  quantities  of 
skimmed  milk  powder  and  butter  were  bought  into  public  storage  for  which  the 
buying-in period was extended beyond the normal time limit of 31 August. The 2009 
budget having been established in September 2008 did not foresee appropriations for 
these operations with the result that the expenditure incurred in this sector exceeded 
the corresponding budget appropriations.

apparent  over-implementation  was,  primarily, 
attributable to the single payment scheme (payment appropriations had been reduced 
to  take  account  of  assigned  revenue)  and  it  was  covered  partly  by  budget  transfers 
from other items of the budget and partly by the revenue which was assigned to this 
scheme in the 2009 budget.

Chapter 05 07: Audit of agricultural expenditure 

4.3.1.  Article 05 07 01: Control of agricultural expenditure 

This  article  mainly  includes  the  amounts  credited  to  the  EAGF  budget  through  the 
corrections  from  accounting  clearance  of  accounts  and  from  the  non-respect  of 
deadlines  for  payments  to  beneficiaries.  The  total  amount  of  these  corrections 
amounted  to  -  EUR 115.1 million.  The  budget  appropriations  adopted  by  the 
Budgetary  Authority  amounted  to  -  EUR 490.0 million  for  these  corrections.  The 
Commission  closed  this  account  by  transferring  appropriations  amounting  to 
EUR 375.1 million  from  the  assigned  revenue  collected  in  the  course  of  the  2009 
EAGF budget year. 

5. 

IMPLEMENTATION OF ASSIGNED REVENUE 

5.1. 

Revenue assigned to EAGF 

The  assigned  revenue  actually  carried  over  from  2008  into  2009,  amounted  to 
EUR 1 474.1 million  and  has  been  entirely  used  for  financing  expenditure  of  the 
2009  budget  year  in  accordance  with  article  10  of  the  Financial  Regulation.  This 
amount  covered  expenditure  of  EUR 343.8 million  for  the  operational  funds  for 
producer organisations and of EUR 1 130.4 million for the single payment scheme. 

The assigned revenue collected in 2009 amounted to EUR 1 086.0 million. A part of 
this  assigned  revenue  amounting  to  EUR 944.7 million  was  used  in  order  to  cover 
expenditure 
to 
the  year  and 
EUR 141.5 million  was  automatically  carried  over  into  the  2010  budget  in  order  to 
fund budgetary needs of that year.

5.2. 

Assigned  revenue  concerning  temporary  restructuring  amounts  in  the  sugar 
sector 

The  total  amount  of  assigned  revenue  transferred  by  Member  States  in  2009 
amounted  to  EUR 1 742.0 million.  In  addition,  the  assigned  revenue  carried  over 
from 2008 into 2009 amounted to EUR 2 044.6 million. Therefore, the total amount 
of  assigned  revenue  available  to  the  EU  budget  in  2009  in  the  form  of  temporary 
restructuring  amounts  came  to  EUR 3 786.0 million.  At  this  point  in  time,  after  the 
aid payments made to the beneficiaries of the sugar restructuring fund, the temporary 
restructuring amounts present a balance of EUR 768.3 million which will be carried 
forward into 2010. 

For details please see point 5.3 and annexes 4.I and 4.II. 

5.3. 

Sugar Restructuring Fund 

In the course of the 2009 budget year, Member States made total payments for aids 
to the restructured sugar industry, for diversification aids as well as for aids to sugar 
refining  which  amounted  to  approximately  EUR 3 017.7 million.  These  aids  were 
paid from  the  aforementioned  revenue originating  from  the  temporary  restructuring 
amounts in the sugar sector. 

For details please see annexes 4.I and 4.II. 

6. 

BREAKDOWN BY TYPE OF EXPENDITURE  

The total EAGF expenditure amounts to EUR 43 454.1 million (excluding the Sugar 
Restructuring  Fund).  Hereafter,  this  expenditure  is  presented  broken  down  into  the 
most significant categories along with the percentage that these represent in the total 
EAGF expenditure for 2009: 

Storage 

Expenditure for storage amounted to EUR 173.4 million, i.e: 0.04 % of the total. The 
main  products  involved  were  products  of  the  cereals,  wine,  and  milk  and  pig  meat 
sectors. 

Export refunds 

Spending on export refunds amounted to EUR 649.5 million, i.e: 1.50 % of the total. 

Other market measures 

Other  market  measures  expenditure  amounted  to  EUR 3 085.6 million,  i.e.: 7.10 % 
of  the  year's  total.  This  category  covers  expenditure  mainly  relating  to  the  cereals, 
fruit and vegetables, wine, milk and milk products, beef and veal, pig meat markets 
as well as the food programmes. It also includes part of the corrections arising from 
the audit of agricultural expenditure. 

Direct aids 

Expenditure  for  direct  aids  amounted  to  EUR 39 113.9 million,  i.e.: 90.01 %  of  the 
total. 

Direct expenditure 

EN 

12 

   EN 

This  expenditure  amounting  to  EUR  447  million,  i.e.:  1.03%  was  made  directly  by 
the  Commission  and  it  mostly  covered  the  expenditure  relating  to  veterinary 
measures as well as to farm accounting and agricultural surveys. 

Rural development 

No appropriations were foreseen in the 2009 budget for the Guarantee Section of the 
ex-EAGGF9.  At  the  same  time,  Member  States  declared  recoveries  of  previously 
paid amounts of -EUR 13.3 million. 

The evolution of this breakdown by type of expenditure for the period 2004-2009 is 
presented in annex 6.
