1.           Explanatory Memorandum
On 9 July 2014 the
Commission adopted Draft Amending Budget (DAB) 4/2014. This DAB primarily
concerned an update in the forecast of revenue, including the budgeting of a
series of fines, which had become definitive.
During the period since
the adoption of the DAB 4/2014, further fines amounting to
EUR 299 million have become definitive, and additional interest of
EUR 75 million may now also be budgeted, giving total additional
revenue of EUR 374 million.
Taking into account the
amounts already included in DAB 3 and 4/2014, the total additional revenues
from fines and interests are now as follows:
EUR million
 Revenue lines || DAB 4/2014 || Additional revenue since DAB 4/2014 || New amount including additional revenue 
 7 0 1 — Interest on late payments and other interest on fines || 239,0 || 75,0 || 314,0 
 7 1 0 — Fines, periodic penalty payments and other penalties || 3 237,0 || 299,0 || 3 536,0 
 Total || 3 476,0 || 374,0 || 3 850,0
