INTRODUCTION 

The  Commission  presented  the  Draft  Amending  Budget  No. 10  to  the  general  budget  2010 
(DAB 10/2010) on 20 October 2010. 

In  this  letter  of  amendment  to  the  DAB  10/2010,  the  Commission  wants  to  suppress  the 
reduction of commitment appropriations foreseen in Heading 2 linked to the article 05 02 12 
"Milk and milk products" (- EUR 280 million ) and article 05 02 03 "Refunds on non-Annex 1 
products" (- EUR 50 million). 

At  the  completion  of  the  execution  2010  (October  15,  2010),  the  needs  for  the  EAGF  are 
indeed higher than the available commitment appropriation voted by the Budgetary Authority. 
All  the  voted  appropriations  may  hence  be  consumed  as  well  as  some  assigned  revenue 
generated  in  2010.  Assigned  revenue  generated  in  2010  and  not  consumed  in  2010  will  be 
carried over in 2011, lowering therefore 2011 need for voted appropriation.

The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) is not included in the calculation of the margin under heading 1a (EUR 500 million). EUR 195 million above the ceiling is 
financed by the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument. 
The European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) amount is entered over and above the relevant headings as foreseen by the IIA of 17 May 2006 (OJ C 139 of 14.6.2006) 
The 2010 margin for heading 4 does not take into account the appropriations related to the Emergency Aid Reserve (EUR 248,9 million). 
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 80 million for the staff 
contributions to the pension scheme.
