EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

INTRODUCTION 

1. 
The  MFF  Regulation  for  the  years  2021-20273  was  adopted  in  December  2020.  The  legislative 
framework  for  the  funds  under  shared  management  for  the  period  2021-2027,  and  in  particular  the 
Common Provisions Regulation4, was adopted in mid-2021. This meant that the legal framework for 
the programming exercise of the funds under shared management was in place at a late stage.  

Article 7 of the MFF Regulation provides for a specific adjustment of the MFF ceilings, to be carried 
out  by  the  Commission  at  the  beginning  of  2022,  allowing  for  the  transfers  of  2021  allocation  of 
commitment  appropriations  for  the  identified  funds  under  shared  management  either  not  used  or 
carried  over,  in  the  case  of  the  adoption  after  1  January  2021  of  new  rules  or  programmes  under 
shared management. The nine funds concerned, the list of which is set out in Article 7(1) of the MFF 
Regulation,  are  the  European  Regional  Development  Fund,  the  European  Social  Fund  Plus,  the 
Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, the 
European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund, the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the 
Internal  Security  Fund  and  the  Instrument  for  Financial  Support  for  Border  Management  and  Visa 
Policy. 

The  results  of  the  adjustments  of  the  MFF  ceilings  of  Headings  2a,  3,  4  and  5  to  be  made  by  the 
Commission  in  accordance  with  Article  7  of  the  MFF  Regulation  are  included  in  a  specific 
Communication.5  

Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 1 for the year 2022 reflects the specific impact of this transfer on 
2022 commitment appropriations for the various funds under shared management under  Headings 2a, 
3,  4  and  5.  The  remaining  transferred  amounts  will  be  reflected  in  the  respective  Draft  Budgets  of 
2023, 2024 and 2025. 

Overall, the net impact of this DAB on expenditure in the 2022 budget amounts to an increase of EUR 
12 247,1 million in commitment appropriations. No additional payment appropriations are requested. 

2. 

REQUESTS BY MFF HEADING AND PROGRAMMES 

The adoption of the Communication on the MFF adjustment and this DAB are necessary conditions 
for  the  implementation  in  2022  of  all  programmes  which  were  not  adopted  in  2021  by  the  first 
instalment of budgetary commitments and the payment of pre-financing under these programmes. All 
27  Member  States  are  concerned  by  this  re-programming  exercise.  A  swift  adoption  of  this  DAB 
would prevent further delays in the implementation of the programmes. 

In line with the provisions of Article 7 of the MFF Regulation, the amounts neither committed in 2021 
nor  carried  over  to  20226  are  transferred  in  equal  proportions  to  each  of  the  years  2022  to  2025. 
Therefore this DAB reflects the transfer of 25 % of the allocations not used in 2021 (i.e. commitment 
appropriations  not  used  nor  carried  over),  corresponding  to  a  total  of  EUR  12  247,1  million  to  the 
2022 financial year. The specific amounts to be transferred to 2022 are detailed by budget line in the 
tables below.

The Commission does not propose any change to the level of payment appropriations in the context of 
this draft amending budget. As usual, it will keep budget implemetation under close scrutiny, which 
may result in proposals for adjustment at a later stage in the year.
