1.   INTRODUCTION

In accordance with Article 249 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Financial Regulation — FR) (1), this document constitutes a report on the budgetary and financial management of Section II of the EU budget (European Council and Council) for the 2021 financial year.
The report is based on the provisional accounts for 2021, the findings of the annual activity reports of the Council’s authorising officers and information on budget implementation from the Council’s financial system.
Chapter II of this report presents a summary of the framework which was established for the 2021 financial year. An overview of the implementation of the budget appropriations available in 2021 is given in Chapter III.
The implementation of the 2021 budget by budget line is presented in the Annex.
2.   OBJECTIVES AND BUDGET FOR THE 2021 FINANCIAL YEAR

2.1.   Main financial objectives

The main financial objectives of the General Secretariat of the Council for 2021 were:






—


to ensure decision-making could continue in the European Council and the Council in spite of the continuous exceptional situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic;










—


to ensure continuous support for the European Council and the Council by effective and efficient use of financial resources;










—


to further proceed with the process of administrative digital modernisation with the objective of enhancing the quality of its organisation and the proper use of resources.




2.2.   Establishment of the budget for the European Council and Council in 2021

2.2.1.   
General approach


The establishment of the 2021 budget for the European Council and Council (hereinafter EC/C) was based on the general objective of not exceeding, in nominal terms, the overall level of the 2020 budget for non-salary related expenditure by over 2 %.
Increases related to statutory or contractual obligations, or in areas considered essential for the proper functioning of the GSC, have been offset by prioritising and reprogramming certain projects taking into account budget implementation in recent years.
As for the establishment plan, the GSC continued to streamline the organisation by implementing the following actions:






—


transforming 25 AST posts into 25 AD posts as part of the continuation of the administrative modernisation, with a budget-neutral effect.




2.2.2.   
2021 budget


The budget authority established the overall 2021 EC/C budget at EUR 594,4 million. This represents an increase of EUR 3,8 million (+0,6 %) compared with 2020.
The number of posts in the establishment plan for 2021 for the EC/C was fixed at 3 029.
Table 1 gives an overview of the 2021 budget by category.

3.   GLOBAL OVERVIEW OF BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION IN 2021

3.1.   Activities and objectives of the European Council and Council in 2021

Within the framework of the financial activity report, the GSC provides information on its core activities which are relevant from a financial point of view, and describes the functioning of the European Council and Council over the financial year. The report also highlights the principal achievements of the year.
3.1.1.   
Meetings


Table 3 gives an overview of the evolution of the number of meetings organised by the GSC for the European Council and Council between 2017 and 2021.
In 2021, in addition to the 4 382 institutional meetings and meetings with third countries, the GSC organised 199 other meetings (e.g. seminars, information sessions and briefings).

Despite the continuous exceptional working conditions due to the pandemic situation as a result of COVID-19, the number of meetings organised by the GSC increased by 30 % compared to the previous year. The level of institutional meetings was quite similar to pre-pandemic levels, thanks in particular to the organisation of meetings via VTC (64,7 % out of the total institutional meetings). The effects of the restrictive situation was more noticeable in the number of conferences, press briefings and press conferences hold.
Moreover, on 14 and 15 June 2021 the GSC hosted bilateral summits — EU-Canada and EU-USA respectively.
In addition, the 6th Eastern Partnership (EaP) summit took place on 15 December 2021. It brought together EU countries and Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. The EaP seeks to foster stability, prosperity and mutual cooperation, advance the commitment to the necessary reforms and address the global and regional challenges.
3.1.2.   
Legislative activities


Another quantitative indicator of activities is the number of legal acts published in the Official Journal (OJ) (Table 4). In 2021, 1 340 legal acts were published in the OJ. It should be noted that the publication of the legal acts in the OJ is the last step in the legislative process.

Despite the challenging working conditions in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Council increased its legislative activity compared to the pre-pandemic year (2019).
3.1.3.   
Administrative modernisation


In 2021, the GSC continued to improve the quality and efficiency of its internal organisation, focusing in particular on dealing with the working restrictions arising from the continuous COVID-19 pandemic situation:






—


A new decision on recruitment policy and procedures within the GSC to increase efficiency in the selection process and also to include elements in line with the GSC Diversity and Inclusion Strategy;










—


Several GSC-specific IT tools such as eConsilium have been redesigned to improve the way the Council operates in the digital world;










—


An analysis of how the pandemic had affected the GSC was carried out, including an assessment of the GSC’s organisation response, to identify best practices and define clear and useful recommendations for improvements to how the GSC worked during and immediately after the pandemic.




3.1.4.   
Achievement of objectives in 2021


Achievement of the objectives established for the 2021 budget year may be summarised as follows:






—



Establishment plan

On 1 January 2021, in the GSC there were 2 885 occupied posts. Following turnover during the year, on 31 December 2021 there were 2 908 occupied posts, representing a difference of 23 additional occupied posts in the EC/C Establishment Plan.
NB: Occupied posts also include posts occupied by non-remunerated staff who occupy a post, in line with the definition set by the Staff Regulation.










—



Financial management

In 2021, the GSC continued to further improve its financial management and performance. Several improvements in corporate financial governance were implemented, e.g. the:






—


launch of the integrated business planning initiative which aims to extend the governance framework with an improved process combining short-, medium- and long-term planning of financial and human resources in relation to activity-oriented and strategic planning;










—


development of a financial dashboard to improve awareness of financial performance across GSC services;










—


hybrid signature of contracts was allowed as a first step with a view to a future full electronic signature.




In the context of improving the cash flow position of European businesses, the average payment time for invoices at the GSC was 19 days in 2021, the maximum time limit being 30 calendar days (Directive 2011/7/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2)).










—



Buildings policy

The Council’s buildings policy is stable. Since 2004, the Council’s aim has been to ultimately accommodate all its activities and those of the European Council in Brussels in buildings which it owns, which are adapted to its needs and which are located near one another. This reorganisation was completed with the delivery of the Europa Building on 30 June 2016.




3.2.   Revenue

Table 5 gives an overview of the global outcome of revenue operations in 2021. The term ‘Established rights 2020’ refers to recovery orders which were made in 2020 but for which the recovery of the amounts took place only in 2021. The term ‘Established rights 2021’ refers to recoveries made in 2021.

The total volume of revenue operations in terms of established rights, i.e. issued recovery orders, was EUR 104,2 million in 2021. Of this amount, EUR 102,3 million was recovered during the financial year and EUR 1,9 million will be collected in 2022.
Most of the total recovered revenues (59 %, or EUR 60,4 million out of EUR 102,3 million) in 2021 relates to community taxes, levies and dues collected from GSC personnel. Of this amount, deductions from staff remuneration yield EUR 33,1 million, while EUR 27,3 million corresponds to contributions and transfers of pension rights to the pension scheme.
The remainder, or 41 % (EUR 41,9 million) is accrued from various administrative operations, mainly from the following sources:






—


recovery of parts of the amounts paid to Member States in previous years for delegates’ travel expenses following their declarations for 2020 and 2021 (EUR 37,9 million, Chapter 3 3);










—


contributions to the administrative costs arising within the framework of the ‘Schengen acquis’ with Iceland and Norway (EUR 1,3 million, Chapter 3 3);










—


contributions by other institutions and payments by Council officials for the Council crèche (EUR 0,9 million, Chapter 3 3);










—


payments by the Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors and the European University Institute in Florence as their contributions to the common financial system with the Council (EUR 0,7 million, Chapter 3 2);










—


proceeds from renting out premises and reimbursements related to them (EUR 0,5 million, Chapter 3 1);










—


transfers from the EEAS to the Council as advance payments for the services provided by the GSC to the EEAS (EUR 0,4 million, Chapter 3 2).




3.3.   Expenditure in 2021

3.3.2.   
Overview of implementation of the budget 2017–2021


Over the past five years (Graph 1), the overall implementation rate of the EC/C budget has been 91,5 % on average. The implementation rate refers to the commitments made during the budget year out of the available adopted budget.
The actual annual payments rate between 2017 and 2021 was on average 81,4 % of the budget. The difference between the overall implementation and payments in a given year (i.e. non-paid commitments) has been carried over, in accordance with Article 12(7) of the Financial Regulation, to the next budget year for payments. Expenditure for remunerations and allowances for members and staff of Union institutions cannot be carried over (Article 12(8) of the Financial Regulation).

Graph 1


Overall budget implementation for 2017–2021






For 2021, the appropriations carried over relate to obligations duly contracted before the end of the budget year but where the goods and services had not yet been delivered and/or no invoices had been received before the end of the year.
3.3.3.   
Implementation of appropriations by category in 2021


The analysis of expenditure in 2021 is presented in 14 expenditure categories.
Table 8 compares the final budget after transfers (column 2) with the budget outturn in terms of commitments (column 3). The difference between the final budget and the committed appropriations corresponds to the amounts not used in 2021 and therefore cancelled.

The overall implementation rate of the 2021 budget is 88 %. The difference between the final budget and implementation can be explained as follows:






—


Total underspending in the establishment plan category is EUR 4,9 million. This underspending relates mainly to lower needs for basic salaries (EUR 3,5 million). Other elements that explain the underspending are lower needs for various statutory entitlements (EUR 0,6 million) and for overtime (EUR 0,4 million) plus lower expenditure relating to social security (EUR 0,2 million).










—


In the other staff expenditure category, 58,5 % of the underspending (EUR 2,4 million out of EUR 4,1 million) relates to staff travel expenses. Savings in other expenditure related to staff (training, medical expenses, social services, etc.) total EUR 0,4 million. Lower payments for contract staff, seconded national experts and other outside services account for another EUR 1,3 million.










—


The overall implementation of building-related expenditure resulted in a saving of EUR 2,0 million. Of this amount, EUR 1,2 million is due to lower costs in maintenance and cleaning and EUR 0,4 million is from savings in certain fitting-out works. Another EUR 0,2 million comes from savings in building security and surveillance. The remaining EUR 0,2 million is from works to make premises secure and other building-related costs (i.e. waste removal, signage and surveys by specialised bodies).










—


In the IT domain, budget implementation was 100 %.










—


For furniture, underspending of EUR 0,02 million is mainly due to lower needs arising from the renting and maintenance of furniture, partly due to the postponement to early 2022 of the EU-African Union multilateral summit.










—


The EUR 0,8 million saving in technical equipment is mainly due to a lower level of purchases and replacement of technical equipment, particularly in the security area.










—


The implementation in transportation is close to 100 %.










—


The implementation of delegations’ travel expenses was 100 %. The amount available for delegations’ travel expenses after transfers amounted to EUR 10,2 million. The initial budget was EUR 15,5 million, to which EUR 25 million was transferred from savings in some interpretation envelopes. On the other hand, EUR 30,4 million was transferred to interpretation for the technical envelope (4). The technical interpreting envelope partially funds the languages currently used as pivot languages, a technical tool used as a bridge between combinations, instrumental for ensuring multilingual communication.










—


The underspending in appropriations for interpretation amounts to EUR 57,5 million. This under spending is the final result after the transfer of EUR 25 million from interpretation envelopes to delegations’ travel envelopes (5). The final result also includes the transfer of EUR 30,4 million from delegations’ travel expenses as part of the implementation of the technical envelope.










—


EUR 0,9 million of the total underspending of EUR 1,5 million on organising meetings and conferences reflects lower catering needs than were budgeted for. Reduced needs for the renting of external conference rooms and accreditation allowed for an additional saving of EUR 0,2 million. This can be explained by the effect of the pandemic on regular meetings combined with the postponement of the EU-African Union Multilateral Summit.










—


The implementation rate of the appropriations in the ‘Information’ category was 100 %.










—


In the ‘Miscellaneous’ category, the underspending of EUR 0,5 million is explained mainly by lower needs in legal services (EUR 0,4 million) combined with reduced needs for office removals, studies, uniforms and other operating expenditure.

The implementation rate for the appropriations carried over from 2020 was 85,5 %. The main reasons for this implementation rate are:






—


partial or complete non-delivery of works/goods/services ordered by the GSC during the previous year;










—


invoices not received for works/goods/services delivered. This inevitably constitutes a budgetary burden for the next budget year, as new commitments will have to be introduced in 2022 for those transactions.




3.4.2.   
Appropriations carried over automatically from 2021 to 2022


Appropriations carried over from 2021 to 2022 totalled EUR 62 million.

The assigned revenue in 2021 relating to the activities of the GSC amounted to EUR 41,8 million. During the financial year, EUR 0,5 million was committed while EUR 41,3 million was carried over to 2022 in accordance with Article 12(4) of the FR.
Around 87 % of the assigned revenue (EUR 36,4 million) relates to the balance of delegations’ travel expenses after submission of their travel declarations and the anticipated reimbursement of the 2021 travel envelopes by several Member States.
The remainder relates mainly to the reimbursement of amounts connected with various administrative operations at the Council.


(1)  Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union, amending Regulations (EU) No 1296/2013, (EU) No 1301/2013, (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) No 1304/2013, (EU) No 1309/2013, (EU) No 1316/2013, (EU) No 223/2014, (EU) No 283/2014, and Decision No 541/2014/EU and repealing Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 (OJ L 193, 30.7.2018, p. 1).

(2)  Directive 2011/7/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 on combating late payment in commercial transactions (OJ L 48, 23.2.2011, p. 1).

(3)  Net amount > EUR 250 000.
