INTRODUCTION 

The Commission transmitted the draft budget for 2011 in all the official languages on 15 June 
20106. The 2011 draft budget is the first to be negotiated under the new arrangements put in 
place by the Lisbon Treaty. Council completed its reading of the draft budget on 12 August, 
while the European Parliament voted its reading on 20 October. As the European Parliament 
adopted  amendments  to  the  draft  budget,  which  could  not  be  accepted  by  the  Council,  a 
Conciliation Committee was convened, in accordance with article 314 §4(c) of the Treaty on 
the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). 

The Conciliation Committee worked over a period of twenty-one days, between 26 October 
and 15 November and came very close to an agreement on the elements of the draft budget for 
2011.  However,  it  was  finally  not  possible  to  reconcile  the  positions  of  the  European 
Parliament and Council within the time period allowed, and so, in accordance with article 314 
§8 of the TFEU, "a new draft budget shall be submitted by the Commission".

(4) For calculating the margin under the ceiling for heading 5, account is taken of the footnote (1) of the financial framework 2007-2013 for 
an amount of EUR 82 million for the staff contributions to the pensions scheme. 

(5) The global margin for the commitments does not take into account the appropriations related to the European Globalisation adjustment 
Fund  (EUR 500 million),  the  Emergency  Aid  Reserve  (EUR 253,9 million)  and  to  the  staff  contributions  to  the  pensions  scheme 
(EUR 82 million). 

(6)  The  global  margin  for  the  payments  does  not  take  into  account  the  appropriations  related  to  the  Emergency  Aid  Reserve 
(EUR 100 million) and to the staff contributions to the pensions scheme (EUR 82 million). 

The  Commission  presents  this  new  proposal  for  a  draft  budget  for  2011,  in  line  with  the 
positions as expressed by both Council and European Parliament at the conciliation period. 

In  terms  of  commitment  appropriations,  the  total  expenditure  proposed  in  the  2011  draft 
budget is EUR 141 818,3 million, corresponding to 1,13 % of GNI, that is EUR 332,0 million 
more than in 2010. This leaves a combined margin of EUR 1 984,1 million under the ceilings.

increase  of 
EUR 3 571,2 million  compared  to  payment  appropriations  in  the  2010  budget,  and  leaves  a 
margin of EUR 7 934,9 million under the ceiling. Parliament expressed its understanding for 
Council's  position  given  the  budgetary  constraints  that  Member  States  currently  face.  The 
Commission repeats its firm belief that this level of payments can only be agreed to, if it is 
accompanied  by the commitment of the budgetary  authority to  act  promptly  on  requests  for 
additional  payment  appropriations  through  amending  budgets  or  transfers,  in  order  to  avoid 
any shortfall in payment appropriations.

Commitment  appropriations  for  Competitiveness  for  Growth  and  Employment  (heading 
1a) are proposed at EUR 13 520,6 million, which is a decrease of 9,0 % compared to the 2010 
budget.  As  these  amounts  exceed  the  ceiling  of  heading  1a,  the  Commission  proposes 
simultaneously  to  mobilise  the  Flexibility  Instrument  by  EUR 34 million7.  Payment 
appropriations  increase  by  2,7 %  to  EUR 11 645,8 million.  The  apparent  reduction  in 
commitment appropriations for this heading must be seen in the context of the inclusion in the 
2010  budget  of  the  second  tranche  of  additional  appropriations  for  the  funding  of  energy 
projects to aid economic recovery. Once this element is excluded, commitment and payment 
appropriations increase by 5,0 % and 3,0 % respectively. 

For  Cohesion  for  Growth  and  Employment  (heading  1b)  commitment  appropriations 
increase  by  3,2 %  to  EUR 50 980,6 million,  leaving  a  margin  of  EUR 6,4 million.  Payment 
appropriations  increase  by  14,6 %,  to  EUR 41 682,5 million.  The  substantial  increase  in  the 
level  of  payments  reflects  the  cruising  speed  reached  by  the  Cohesion  policy  programmes 
related  to  the  2007  –  2013  programming  period,  thus  contributing  to  economic  recovery  in 
Europe. 

Commitment  appropriations  of  EUR 58 659,2 million  are  proposed  for  Preservation  and 
Management of Natural Resources (heading 2), , which is a decrease of 1,4 % compared to 
the  2010  budget  and  leaves  a  margin  of  EUR 1 680,3 million  under  the  ceiling.  Payment 
appropriations decrease by 3,0 % to amount to EUR 56 409,3 million. Within this heading the 
amount foreseen for market related expenditure and direct aids reaches EUR 42 891,2 million 
in commitment appropriations, and EUR 42 786,6 million in payment appropriations. 

Freedom,  Security  and  Justice  (heading  3a)  sees  an  important  increase  in  commitment 
appropriations  of  13,2 %, 
leaving  a  margin  of 
EUR 67,0 million.  Payment  appropriations  also  increase  significantly,  by  10,2 %  to 
EUR 814,3 million. 

to  EUR 1 139,0 million, 

rising 

For  Citizenship  (heading  3b),  commitment  appropriations  amount  to  EUR 682,9 million, 
leaving  nearly  no  margin  (EUR 0,1 million).  Payment  appropriations  for  this  heading 
decrease  by  3,9 %  to  EUR 646,0 million.  The  decrease  is  due  to  the  mobilisation  of  the 
Solidarity Fund in 2010 (EUR 13,0 million), that has been added to the original budget in the 
course of the year. 

Heading  4,  the  EU  as  a  Global  Player  sees  an  increase  in  commitment  appropriations  of 
7,5 % to EUR 8 754,3 million, exceeding the ceiling on heading 4. The Commission proposes 
simultaneously  to  mobilise  the  Flexibility  Instrument  by  EUR 71 million8.  Payment 
appropriations  decrease  by  6,9 %  to  EUR 7 249,0 million.  The  total  amount  of  payment 
appropriations  is  lower  compared  to  2010,  since  outstanding  commitments  (the  so-called 
‘RAL’, reste à liquider) on many ‘completion’ lines for previous programmes that are being 
closed have diminished substantially.

EUR 8 080,4 million. This leaves a margin of EUR 334,3 million9.

KEY ELEMENTS OF THE NEW DRAFT BUDGET PROPOSAL 

The starting point for the preparation of this new draft budget for 2011 is the Commission's 
original proposal from June, as modified by three letters of amendment (AL) – AL 1/201110 
(European  External  Action  Service),  AL  2/201111  (agencies  and  European  Financial 
Stabilisation Mechanism), and AL 3/201112 (agricultural expenditure). 

The  changes  now  proposed  reflect  the  discussions  which  have  already  taken  place  between 
the two arms of the Budgetary Authority. These discussions have led to an important degree 
of  convergence,  and  these  elements  of  compromise  are  retained  in  the  Commission's  new 
proposal, with a view to facilitating a swift agreement on Budget 2011. 

The  consequences  of  non-agreement  on 
the 
implementation of key policies and programmes, and would send a damaging message to the 
citizens  of  Europe  at  a  time  of  economic  uncertainty.  The  credibility  of  EU  at  international 
level would also be hindered. 

the  budget  would  be  detrimental 

to 

It is with this imperative in mind that the Commission is seeking to reconcile the positions of 
the two arms of the Budgetary Authority in this proposal for a new draft budget. 

The details of the changes proposed are outlined hereafter. 

3.1. 

General Approach on Payment Appropriations 

A major adaptation is that of the level of payment appropriations. In the original 2011 draft 
budget, the Commission proposed an increase of 5,8 % for payments, compared to the 2010 
budget on the basis of an evaluation of the payment needs for programmes. 

Since then the economic difficulties facing Europe have become more apparent, and a general 
consensus has developed across the Member States on the need to apply austerity measures. 
Therefore,  this  new  draft  budget  proposes  an  overall  level  of  payment  appropriations  of 
EUR 126,5 billion,  as  proposed  by  the  Council.  There  were  converging  views  during  the 
conciliation that this amount could be an essential element of a possible overall agreement. 

Nevertheless, the Commission would also like to stress that contrary to national budgets, the 
EU budget can never be in deficit, and all the requests for reimbursements coming from the 
Member States in relation to policy implementation must be honoured. In this respect, a joint 
declaration with the two arms of the Budgetary Authority confirming their readiness to deal 
swiftly with amending budget or transfers in case of need is essential.

For  calculating  the  margin  under  the  ceiling  for  heading  5,  account  is  taken  of  footnote  (1)  of  the 
financial  framework  2007-2013  for  an  amount  of  EUR 82 million  for  the  staff  contribution  to  the 
pension scheme. The 2011 level of expenditure taken into account for the other institutions is based on 
the latest available estimates.

To meet this requirement, a reduction in payments appropriations has been made necessary, 
compared to Commission's  initial proposal for the 2011 draft budget, through  the following 
methodology: 

After  taking  into  account  the  consequences  of  the  adjustments  proposed  for  non 
differentiated  appropriations  and  for  specific  payment  reinforcements,  as  detailed 
below under sections 3.2 and 3.3, the overall reduction in payment appropriations, as 
compared  to  the  Commission's  draft  budget  including  amending  letters,  has  been 
broken down between the various headings as follows: 

–  One third on heading 1b, 

–  One third on heading 2, 

–  One third on headings 1a, 3a and 4, 

–  No impact on heading 3b. 

The reductions compared to the level of payments within each heading has been shared out 
proportionally  on  all  budget  lines  with  differentiated  appropriations,  taking  however  into 
the  Conciliation  Committee  expressed 
consideration  specific  adjustments  on  which 
converging views, as described in sections 3.2 and 3.3 below and with the exception of pilot 
projects and preparatory actions, decentralised agencies, the budget lines of heading  1b that 
have  been  left  unchanged  in  payments  by  both  arms  of  the  budgetary  authority  in  their 
respective  readings  of  the  original  draft  budget  (mostly  convergence)  and  the  Life+  and 
animal and plant health programmes within heading 2, as well as the Emergency Aid Reserve 
(EAR) in heading 4. 

3.2 

Expenditure Headings of the Financial Framework 

Excluding  agencies  (decentralised  and  executive)  and  proposals  on  pilot  projects  and 
preparatory  actions,  which  are  detailed  in  section  3.3  below,  the  following  adjustments  by 
heading of the multi-annual financial framework are included in the new draft budget. 

3.2.1  Heading 1a — Competitiveness for Growth and Employment 

The Commission proposes to increase the level of commitment appropriations for a number 
of  actions  (see  table),  while  maintaining  the  same  level  as  proposed  in  the  original  draft 
budget for most others. The increases reflect the European Parliament priorities in relation to 
Youth, SMEs and research. 

This creates a situation where the level of commitment appropriations exceeds the ceiling of 
the  multi-annual  financial  framework,  and  so  the  Commission  proposes  to  mobilise  the 
Flexibility Instrument for an amount of EUR 34 million for heading 1a. 

The  general  methodology  on  payment  appropriations  applies  to  this  heading.  Nevertheless 
when increases have been proposed by the European Parliament in its reading to accompany 
the increases in commitments, they have been included as such in the new draft budget. The 
Commission  also  confirms  an  amount  of  EUR 50 million  in  payments  for  the  European 
Globalisation  Adjustment  Fund  (EGF),  subject  to  the  overall  reduction  described  in  section 
3.1.

3.2.2  Heading 1b — Cohesion for Growth and Employment 

The  level  of  commitment  appropriations  remains  unchanged  compared  to  the  original  draft 
budget,  with  one  exception:  a  new  budget  article  13 03 31  "Technical  assistance  and 
dissemination of information on the EU strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and an improved 
knowledge of macro-regions strategy", which is created for an amount of EUR 2,5 million in 
commitment (with no payments). 

Payment appropriations have been adapted so that the limit of EUR 126,5 billion for the total 
draft budget is respected, It is particularly important for this heading that the joint declaration 
referred  to  in  section  3.1  above  is  confirmed,  so  that  additional  payments  can  be  made 
available quickly if needed.

3.2.3  Heading 2 — Preservation and Management of Natural Resources 

The  careful  analysis  of  needs  made  by  the  Commission  in  its  original  draft  budget,  and 
subsequently updated by the amending letter 3/2011 is the starting point for the new proposal. 
The  new  proposal  integrates  some  priorities  of  the  European  Parliament  such  as 
reinforcements for School milk, Life+, the Community Fisheries Control Agency and Animal 
Health,  and  partially  includes  the  Council's  position  on  the  Clearance  of  accounts.  These 
adjustments are set out in the table below. 

For non-differentiated appropriations, payments are set at the same level as commitments. For 
other budget lines, the general methodology on payments is followed (see section 3.1 above).

This draft budget includes also EUR 540 million of assigned revenue for EAGF carried over 
from  2010  to  2011.  This  amount  is  higher  than  the  amount  of  EUR 210 million  which  was 
foreseen in the amending letter 3/2011 to the original 2011 draft budget because a reduced use 
of assigned revenue generated in 2010 in the execution of the budget 2010. As a consequence, 
this  additional  assigned  revenue  carried  over  from  2010  to  2011  reduces  the  need  for 
for  producer 
appropriations  on 
organisations) and 05 03 01 (Single Payment Scheme - SPS) by EUR 330 million. The effect 
of reduced appropriation on these lines is to increase the unallocated margin available in 2011

Commitment  appropriations  are  set  at  the  level  proposed  in  the  original  draft  budget,  with

same level as commitments. 

3.2.6  Heading 4 — EU as a Global Player 

The  Commission  is  proposing  some  targeted  reinforcements  reflecting  the  priorities  of  the 
Budgetary Authority. The most significant change relates to Palestine for which an additional 
amount of EUR 100 million is proposed. These adjustments lead to a situation where the level 
of  commitment  appropriations  exceeds  the  ceiling  of  the  multi-annual  financial  framework, 
and  so  the  Commission  proposes  to  mobilise  the  Flexibility  Instrument  for  an  amount  of 
EUR 71 million for heading 4 to cover additional needs for Palestine. 

Without prejudice to the application of the general methodology mentioned under section 3.1 
above, payment appropriations for Palestine are also increased by EUR 100 million while for 
the other lines for which commitments are increased, payments are maintained at the level of 
the  original  draft  budget.  The  Commission  also  proposes  to  limit  the  payments  for  the

3.2.7  Heading 5 — Administration 

The  proposed  new  draft  budget  excludes  the  appropriations  related  to  the  outstanding  2009 
salary  adjustment  (1,85 %)  for  all  institutions,  pending  the  adoption  of  the  new  Council 
decision following the judgment of the Court of Justice on 24 November 2010 in favour of the 
Commission.  A  draft  amending  budget  will  be  presented  in  2011.  In  the  meantime,  a 
sufficient margin shall be left unused under the ceiling of heading 5. The draft compromise in 
the  Conciliation  included  a  draft  joint  statement  with  a  commitment  by  both  arms  of  the 
budgetary  authority  for  a  swift  adoption  of  an  amending  budget  in  case  the  Court  ruled  in 
favour  of  the  corresponding  salary  increase.  The  Commission  regards  the  adoption  of  this 
statement as an indispensable part of a final agreement on budget 2011.  

In  addition,  appropriations  for  salaries  and  pension  have  been  revised  downwards  for  all 
institutions in relation to the 2010 salary adjustment, reflecting the most recent estimates of a 
maximum of 0,7 %. 

For the Commission, the new draft budget is based on the position following amending letter 
1/2011 (European External Action Service), with the exception of budget lines xx 01 02 11 02 
(Conferences  and  Meetings)  and  xx 01 02 11 03  (Committees),  where,  in  the  spirit  of 
compromise, the appropriations are set at the lower level jointly agreed by both arms of the 
Budgetary Authority in their respective readings. 

For  the  institutions  other  than  the  Commission,  after  taking  into  account  the  salary-related 
corrections, the new draft budget reflects the reading of the European Parliament, except for

   EN 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the Council, where it is the Council's own position that is followed following amending letter 
1/2011 (European External Action Service). 

Regarding  the  institutions  other  than  the  European  Parliament,  the  Council  and  the 
Commission,  the  additional  posts  compared  to  2010  are  as  follows:  Court  of  Justice  of  the 
European Union (+29), European Economic and Social Committee (+11), Committee of the 
Regions (+18), European Ombudsman (+1), and European Data Protection Supervisor (+2). 

3.3. 

Horizontal Issues 

3.3.1  Decentralised agencies 

The  EU  contribution  (in  both  commitment  and  payment  appropriations)  and  the  number  of 
posts  for  decentralised  agencies  are  set  at  the  level  proposed  by  the  Commission  in  the 
original draft budget, as modified by amending letter 2/2011, with the following exceptions: 

–  For budget item 15 02 27 02 European Training Foundation – Contribution to Title 3 under 
heading  4,  a  reinforcement  of  EUR 0,5 million  in  both  commitments  and  payments  is 
proposed. 

–  For budget item 11 08 05 02 Community Fisheries Control Agency – Contribution to Title 

3 under heading 2 a reinforcement of EUR 4 million in commitments is proposed. 

Compared  to  the  original  draft  budget  and  as  agreed  jointly  by  both  arms  of  the  budgetary 
authority in their respective reading of the original draft budget: 

–  There is one additional post less for Eurojust, 

–  The  appropriations  for  the  Agency  for  the  operational  management  of  large-scale  IT 

systems in the area of freedom, security and justice are cut by half. 

3.3.2 

Executive agencies 

The  EU  contribution  (in  both  commitment  and  payment  appropriations),  and  the  number  of 
posts for executive agencies are set at the level proposed in the June draft budget. 

3.3.3 

Pilot Projects and Preparatory Actions 

A  comprehensive  package  of  46  pilot  projects  and  preparatory  actions  (PP/PA)  for  a  total 
amount  of  EUR 72,7 million  in  commitment  appropriations  is  proposed  in  the  new  draft 
budget.  This  includes  all  the  PP/PA  proposed  by  the  European  Parliament,  the  Council  and 
the Commission. 

When a pilot project or a preparatory action appears to be covered by an existing legal basis, 
the  Commission  may  implement  the  action  concerned  under  the  relevant  legal  basis  and 
propose  the  transfer  of  appropriations  to  the  corresponding  budget  line  in  the  course  of  the 
year. 

Payment  appropriations  for  all  new  pilot  projects  and  preparatory  actions  are  set  at  a 
maximum of 50 % of the corresponding commitments; the initial amount proposed is retained 
if lower than  50 % of commitments. For  PP/PA which already exist and are to be extended 
into 2011, the level of payments is the one defined in the original draft budget.

The  new  preparatory  action  on  "EU  mediation  support"  is  moved  to  budget  item  2 2 3 8  in

3.3.4 

Budgetary remarks 

With  the  exception  of  additional  remarks  for  line  XX 01 02 11,  all  textual  amendments 
introduced by the European Parliament or the Council in their respective readings are agreed, 
on the understanding that they cannot modify or extend the scope of an existing legal base. 

3.3.5  New budget lines 

The budget nomenclature as proposed by the Commission in its original draft budget and in 
the three amending letters remains unchanged. In addition new budget lines are proposed to 
accommodate the package of pilot projects and preparatory actions. 

Moreover, the initial nomenclature for CSFP is amended as follows: 

–  19 03 01 01 — Monitoring mission in Georgia 

–  19 03 01 02 — EULEX Kosovo 

–  19 03 01 03 — EUPOL Afghanistan 

–  19 03 01 04 — Other crisis management measures and operations.  

3.3.6 

Reserves 

In full accordance with article 43(1) of the Financial Regulation, reserves are in particularset 
on lines for which the legal basis is not yet adopted.

CONCLUDING REMARKS 

By  proposing  a  new  2011  draft  budget,  which  integrates  the  elements  of  compromise 
established by the Conciliation Committee, the Commission creates the conditions for a swift 
adoption of the 2011 budget, without recourse to a further period of conciliation. 

A  timely  adoption  and  entry  into  force  of  the  2011  budget  is  vital  to  ensure  the  proper 
implementation of policies and programmes of the European Union. The Commission will do 
its utmost to achieve this goal.
