EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1.  INTRODUCTION 

The purpose of Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 10 for the year 2020 is threefold: 

 

 

 

to increase the level of payment appropriations in line with the updated forecast and after 
having  taken  into  account  the  redeployments  proposed  in  the  "Global  transfer"  (DEC 
16/2020 submitted to Parliament and Council early October);  

to  adjust  the  revenue  side  to  incorporate  the  impact  of  exchange  rate  differences  and 
additional fines collected; and 

to  budget  further  more  limited  expenditure  adjustements.  They  concern  the  level  of 
appropriations  of  the  European  Agriculture  Guarantee  Fund  (EAGF)  and  some 
decentralised agencies (ESMA, EIOPA, EBA and ELA). 

The  overall  increase  in  payment  appropriations  (EUR 1 569,3 million)  requested  concerns 
headings  1a  'Competitiveness  for  Growth  and  Jobs',  1b  'Economic,  Social  and  Territorial 
Cohesion', 2 'Sustainable Growth – Natural Resources' and 4 'Global Europe'.  

The increase of commitment appropriations in heading 2 is slighlty rebalanced by savings in 
heading 1a agencies resulting in an overall increase in commitments of EUR 36,4 million. 

The  overall  impact  on  the  revenue  side  is  a  decrease  of  other  revenue  by  EUR 588 million 
rebalanced by a corresponding increase in the GNI contributions. 

2.  ADDITIONAL NEEDS IN PAYMENT APPROPRIATIONS 

The  “Global  transfer”  is  an  annual  exercise  organised  at  corporate  level  within  the 
Commission  for  which  all  Directorates  Generals  and  Services  are  requested  to  review  by 
early September their respective payment implementation of the current budget until the end 
of the year concerned. This exercise aims to ensure maximum implementation of the budget 
in payment appropriations at the end of the year by matching additional needs with expected 
under-implementation.  An  ad  hoc  request  for  transfer  (under  Article  31  of  the  Financial 
Regulation) is annually submitted to Parliament and Council in early October as a result. 

DAB No8 for the year 2020, tabled by the Commission at the end of August, was decoupled 
from the ‘Global transfer exercise’ and included only requests for which urgent action from 
the  Union  was  requested.  Therefore  DAB  No8,  which  proposed  a  significant  request  for 
additional  payment  appropriations  (i.e.  EUR 6 190 million),  focused  exclusively  on  two 
specific  elements:  provide  additional  payment  appropriations  (i)  to  the  Emergency  Support 
Instrument (ESI) to finance the COVID-19 vaccines strategy and (ii) for cohesion following 
the adoption of the Corona Response Investment Initiative Plus (CRII+)11. 

In addition to the requests included in DAB No8, the 2020 ‘Global transfer’ exercise resulted 
in additional gross payment needs of EUR 2 125,2 million, only partially offset by expected 
payment under-implementation of EUR 595,4 million. The additional payments requested in 
this  DAB  No10  aims  at  closing  the  gap  of  EUR 1 529,8 million  as  detailed  under  the  
sections 2.1 through 2.4.

2.1.  Competitiveness of enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (COSME) 

the  Union  experienced  a  sudden 

As  a  result  of  the  COVID-19  crisis,  many  Small  and  Medium-Sized  Enterprises  (SMEs) 
across 
the 
Communication12 of 13 March 2020 on the coordinated economic response to the COVID-19 
crisis,  the  Commission  decided  to  redirect  EUR 1 billion  from  the  European  Fund  for 
Strategic Investment (EFSI) to existing guarantee facilities. As part of this initiative, the Loan 
Guarantee Facility within COSME was reinforced by EUR 714 million to incentivise banks 
to provide liquidity finance to companies with the aim of helping at least 100 000 European 
businesses to access around EUR 8 billion of financing. 

liquidity.  As  announced 

lack  of 

in 

The implementing partner, the European Investment Fund (EIF), published a revised call for 
expression of interest for financial intermediaries to apply for the specific COVID measure, 
which  was  successfully  closed  end  of  May  this  year.  This  reinforcement  results  in  an 
increased need for payment appropriations as any cash-needs by the EIF have to be paid first 
through the COSME Loan Guarantee Facility (the first-loss piece) before cash-calls are being 
made under EFSI (the second-loss piece).  

Internal redeployments have partially covered these unforeseen needs but additional payment 
appropriations of EUR 93,8 million are needed to allow the European Commission to honour 
its contractual obligations vis-à-vis the EIF.

2.2.  Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) — CF contribution 

The  implementation  of  the  cohesion  strand  of  the  Connecting  Europe  facility  for  Transport 
(CEF-CF) is progressing faster than expected and the payment needs for the rest of the year 
exceed the current availabilities.  

Beneficiaries  have  an  obligation  to  submit  an  interim  payment  claim  every  two  years  and 
have  the  possibility  to  submit  a  “voluntary”  interim  payment  claim  every  year.  In  2020, 
several  large  beneficiaries  used  this  flexibility  and  submitted  more  interim  payment  claims 
than the average pattern observed in previous years. This fast implementation pace was not 
initially  foreseen  in  the  2020  budget  and  constitutes  the  main  reason  for  the  increased 
payment needs. 

The Commission performed an in-depth action-by-action analysis of the payments needs and 
current  budget  availabilities,  taking  into  account  a  redeployment  of  available  payment 
appropriations  within  the  chapter  CEF  Transport,  and  considers  that  a  reinforcement  of 
EUR 100 million  in  payment  appropriations  is  needed  in  order  to  respect  the  payment 
deadlines  and honour all legal obligations.

2.3.  European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) 

The COVID-19 crisis has not slowed down the financial implementation of the programmes 
financed by the EAFRD.  

The Commission has performed an in-depth analysis of the forecasts submitted by Member 
States by the end of August 2020 and considers that a reinforcement of EUR 750 million in 
payment appropriations is needed in order to cover all expected payment applications to be 
paid  in  2020.  These  forecasts  also  include  the  estimated  impact  of  the  lump-sum  payment 
proposed  by  the  Commission  to  provide  relief  to  farmers  or  small-medium  sized  agri-
businesses affected by the COVID-19 (based on the finally agreed 2 % maximum share of the 
Union  contribution,  as  opposed  to  the  1 %  initially  proposed  by  the  Commission).  Some 
Member  States  have  in  fact  already  started  introducing  this  new  EAFRD  measure  in  their 
rural development programmes and others are expected to follow.  

This translates already in 2020 in additional reimbursement requests.

2.4.  Global EU response to Covid-19 

Following the publication of the joint communication on the Global EU response to Covid-
1913,  where  the  Union  expressed  solidarity  and  commitment  to  help  partner  countries  deal 
with the health, economic and social consequences of the crisis as part of the Team Europe 
efforts,  the  Commission  has  reprogrammed  its  operations  under  the  Instrument  for  Pre-
Accession  Assistance  (IPA  II),  the  European  Neighbourhood  Instrument  (ENI)  and  the 
Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). As a result, there is a need for reinforcement in 
payment appropriations of these three instruments by EUR 586 million in total as follows: 

2.4.1 

Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA II) 

For  IPA  II,  budget  support  payments  have  been  adjusted  and  advanced,  pre-financing  and 
support in indirect management increased in order to speed up implementation.

Based on the revised forecasts for payments to be made until the end of 2020, and on top of 
the  redeployments  identified,  additional  appropriations  for  a  total  of  EUR 210 million  are 
needed  to  cover  payments  for  contracts  for  Montenegro,  Albania,  Kosovo14,  Serbia,  North 
Macedonia  and  Turkey  as  well  as  budget  support  payments  for  Serbia,  Albania  and  North 
Macedonia.

2.4.2 

European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) 

For ENI, the Commission has modified and increased the budget of on-going programmes in 
order to speed up their implementation and related payments. 

Besides  redeployments  already  identified  as  a  result  of  the  revised  forecasts,  additional 
payment  appropriations  for  a  total  of  EUR 286 million  are  needed  to  cover  the  accelerated 
disbursements of several budget support programmes for Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, Algeria, 
Georgia and Armenia as well as for the top up of the envelopes of several other national and 
regional programmes for the benefit of small and medium sized businesses (for example for 
resilience and stability in Ukraine East and Armenia).

For DCI, the Commission has accelerated disbursements related to budget support operations 
in  several  countries  and  some  funds  have  been  reallocated  to  new  projects  specifically  to 
respond  to  the  Covid-19  crisis,  for  instance  in  Afghanistan.  The  related  contracts  are  being 
signed and will lead to pre-financing payments already in 2020.

The most urgent needs have already been covered through redeployments, but only partially. 
Additional payment appropriations for a total of EUR 90 milion are therefore needed to cover 
accelerated  disbursements  for  Nepal,  Myanmar,  Cambodia,  Tajikistan,  Uzbekistan  and 
Afghanistan.

3.  OTHER ADJUSTMENTS ON EXPENDITURE 

3.1.  European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) 

In  the  context  of  exceptional  measures  to  cope  with  the  Covid-19  crisis,  the  Commission 
adopted  before  the  summer  two  packages  of  measures  related  to  agricultural  markets.  The 
first package was dedicated to provide advances and assure smooth functioning of the various 
direct payment schemes as well as to flexibilise controls. The second package focused on a 
set of provisions related to market support measures in particular in the fruits and vegetables 
and wine sectors.  

With these measures, the Commission has created the conditions for the full use of the EAGF 
appropriations under the Budget  2020.  Both  the  current level  of implementation  and recent 
Member States forecasts support this assumption.  

The  2020  budget  execution  of  the  EAGF  is  already  very  advanced,  in  particular  for  direct 
payments  showing  an  even  better  execution  than  in  previous  years.  Market  related 
expenditure  will  be  largely  concentrated  in  the  very  end  of  the  financial  year,  with  still 
considerable  uncertainties  on  the  actual  level  of  spending  particularly  for  the  wine 
programmes, support to  producer organisations in  the fruit/vegetables sector and the school 
schemes. 

Based  on  currently  available  information,  EAGF  assigned  revenue  is  expected  to  be 
EUR 176 million  lower  than  the  budgeted  amount.  This  difference  is  explained  by  (a)  the 
settlement  of  the  financial  consequences  of  Court  of  Justice  case  C-252/18P  in  favour  of 
Greece,  (b)  lower  assigned  revenue  from  conformity  and  clearance  of  accounts  decisions 
taken by the Commission and (c) the delay of some recoveries to 2021. 

As  a  result,  there  is  the  risk  of  a  small  deficit  compared  to  the  appropriations  currently 
available in the EAGF budget for 2020, which could be covered by mobilising the remaining 
margin available under Heading 2. 

Based  on  the  information  currently  available,  and  taking  into  account  the  forecasts  of 
Member  States,  the  Commission  proposes  to  reinforce  the  Operational  funds  for  producer 
organisations budget line under the EAGF as outlined below:

4.  ADJUSTMENTS OF REVENUE 

4.1  Exchange rate differences in own resources 

The  budget  is  established  in  euro  whereas  Member  States'  contributions  are  determined  in 
national  currency.  The  annual  contributions  of  Member  States  are  paid  in  12  monthly 
instalments  ("twelfths").  Each  instalment  paid  in  a  non-euro  currency  is  recorded  in  the 
accounts using the monthly exchange rates of the month in which the payment is made. 

For Member States outside the Eurozone the budget is converted into national currency using 
the exchange rate of the last quotation day of the calendar year preceding the budget year16. 
Thus for 2020, the exchange rate of  31 December 2019 is  used to  convert the budget  from 
euro into non-euro currencies. 

Therefore any differences in the exchange rates used for calculating the monthly "twelfth" in 
national  currency  and  the  accounting  rates  applicable  in  the  month  of  payment  of  the 
"twelfth" result inevitably in differences between the own resources amounts in euro foreseen 
in the budget and the amount actually cashed in. 

Monthly  exchange  rate  fluctuations  may  compensate  each  other  out  during  a  budget  year. 
However in 2020, the exchange rate development is overall negative. From January to June, a 
total  of  minus  EUR 400,6 million  of  exchange  rate  differences  has  been  registered  for  own 
resources and entered in the Amending budget No 7. 

The  explanatory  memorandum  of  Amending  Budget  No 7  highlighted  the  possibility  of 
further negative exchange rate developments and ensuing additional budgetary amendments 
proposed to the Budgetary Authority in an autumn draft amending budget. 

Since then (July – September) the evolution of the exchange rate, driven in particular by the 
depreciation  of  British  pound  resulted  in  an  additional  deficit  of  EUR 180 million.  In 
September,  the  British  pound  depreciated  sharply  again.  If  it  remains  broadly  at  the  same 
level  as  on  1  October,  there  would  be  a  further  exchange  rate  deficit  in  own  resources  of 
EUR 536 million during the last three months of the year. 

In  order  to  reduce  the  risk  of  a  budgetary  deficit  by  the  end  of  2020  an  amount  of  minus 
EUR 716 million  is  proposed  to  be  entered  in  the  budget  (on  top  of  the  already  budgeted 
minus EUR 400,6 million in Amending Budget No 7) to offset exchange rate differences till 
the end of the year.

4.2  Fines and penalty payments 

Taking  into  account  the  amounts  that  have  been  cashed  until  the  end  of  September,  it  is 
proposed  to  increase  the  forecasts  introduced  in  the  budget  2020  (EUR 218 million17)  by 
EUR 128 million.  This  will  reduce  accordingly  the  own  resources  contributions  from 
Member States to the EU budget.
