   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 14.6.2017  COM(2017) 299 final   COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL Financial information on the European Development Fund  European Development Fund (EDF): forecasts of commitments, payments and contributions   
 
 
1. 

FOREWORD 
In  accordance  with  Article  7(3)  of  the  11th  EDF  Internal  Agreement1  and  Article 
21(4) of Council Regulation (EU) 2015/323 on the financial regulation applicable to 
the 11th European Development Fund2 (hereinafter referred to as "11th EDF Financial 
Regulation"), the Commission presents in this document the commitments, payments 
and contributions made in 2016 and to be made in the years 2017 and 2018, taking 
into account the forecasts of the European Investment Bank (EIB).  
This document sets out the financial implementation of the EDFs (Eighth to 11th) for 
2016 and the forecasts of implementation for 2017 and 2018. 

Member States contribute funds directly to the European Investment Bank (EIB) for 
the  instruments  which  it  manages  under  the  Ninth,  10th,  and  11th  EDFs  (the 
Investment Facility and interest-rate subsidies).  

2. 

INTRODUCTION 

The Commission and the EIB have updated their commitment and payment forecasts 
for  2017  and  2018  for  each  of  the  ACP  countries3  and  the  OCTs4.  The  payment 
forecasts in particular have been compiled with the aim of helping Member States to 
assess  as  accurately  as  possible  the  amounts  they  need  to  earmark  in  their  national 
budgets while ensuring that sufficient financial resources are available for the EDF to 
avoid liquidity problems. 
In  accordance  with  Article  7(3)  of  the  11th  EDF  Internal  Agreement5  and  Article 
21(4) of the 11th EDF Financial Regulation6, the estimates provided in this document 
have been updated. 

The graph below shows the general trend in gross commitments and payments since 
1999  until  2016  and  projections  for  the  period  2017-2018  (Commission  and  EIB 
cumulated amounts).

FINANCIAL IMPLEMENTATION FOR 2016 AND FORECASTS FOR 2017 AND 2018 

End-of-year  totals  for  2016  commitments  exceeded  the  estimates  provided  in  the 
Communication of October 2016. However, the target for payments was not reached. 

The  2016  estimate  for  commitments  provided in  the  October  2016  Communication 
(EUR 5,325 million) is exceeded by EUR 1,594 million. One of the reasons for the 
overrun of the target is that initial forecasts did not include the decision to allocate 
EUR  500  million  of  additional  credits  to  the  EU  Emergency  Trust  Fund  for  Africa 
(EUTF  Africa).7  The  current  level  of  absorption by  the  Commission  keeps  the  11th 
EDF on track for full commitment by the end of the implementation period. 

EDF payments (EUR 3,416 million) failed to reach the 2016 estimate announced in 
October  2016  (EUR  3,752  million)  but  are  still  EUR  216  million  above  the  2015 
year's  execution  (EUR  3,210  million).  The  Commission's  estimates  depended  on 
EUTF Africa payments (EUR 250 million for 2016 with EUR 207.5 million coming 
from the EDF). However, the EUTF Africa only called EUR 98.5 million EDF funds. 

A  tight  and  difficult  treasury  situation  is  still  expected  for  2017-2018.  Reasons 
include  the  consumption  of  the  EDF  "cash  buffer"  in  2015  (Contributions  called  = 
EUR  3,200  million  against  Payments  EUR  3,210  million),  disbursements  for  the 
EUTF  Africa,  increased  funding  of  the  African  Peace  Facility  for  the  period  2016-
2018  and  the  proposal  for  a  Regulation  on  the  European  Fund  for  Sustainable 
Development  (EFSD)  establishing  the  EFSD  Guarantee  Fund.8.  Once  adopted,  this 
proposal envisages a contribution of EUR 400 million from the 11th EDF of which 
EUR 150 million to be paid in 2017. 

Attachments 1  and  2  show  respectively  for  commitments  and  payments  the  actuals  of  2016 
and the forecasts for the 2017-2018, compared to the previous communicated forecasts. 

Attachment  3  shows  the  actual  financial  situation  of  2016  and  the  forecasts  for  2017-2020, 
compared to the previous communicated forecasts. 

Attachments 4 and 5 show respectively the Member States' contributions by EDF for 2017 by 
instalment and for the years 2017-2020 by total. 

Attachment  6  and  7  show  respectively  the  decommitted  funds  from  previous  EDFs  and  the 
impact of the reduction on contributions of each Member State.

On 2 August 2016, the Council adopted Decision (EU) 2016/1337 to allocate an amount of up 
to a maximum of EUR 491,387,500 of decommitted funds from the 10th EDF for the purpose 
of replenishing the African Peace Facility for the period 2016-2018 in accordance with Article

Attachment 7: Impact of the reduction on contributions by remaining balances 
of each Member States (EUR) 

In  accordance  with  Article  61  of  the  Council  Regulation  (EU)  2015/323  on  the  Financial 
Regulation  applicable  to  the  11th  EDF13,  the  following  table  displays  the  impact  of  a 
reduction  of  contribution  based  on  the  amount  in  the  reserve  from  decommitted  funds  of 
previous EDFs. However, the amounts presented in the table are theoretical, since they do not 
take  into  account  the  proposed  implementation  of  the  refund  of  EUR  200  million,  as  per 
proposal presented by the European Commission together with this Communication, nor the 
envisaged  allocation  of  EUR  150  million  foreseen  for  2017  to  the  European  Fund  for 
Sustainable Development (EFSD), the EFSD Guarantee and the EFSD Guarantee Fund.
