EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1.  INTRODUCTION 

The purpose of Draft Amending Budget No 1 for the year 2023 (DAB 1) is to introduce the necessary 
technical  changes  to  the  2023  budget  stemming  from  the  political  agreements  reached  on  several 
legislative  proposals,  in  particular  with  respect  to  REPowerEU,  the  Carbon  Border  Adjustment 
Mechanism (CBAM) and the Union Secure Connectivity programme. 

In particular, DAB 1 covers the following elements: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

adjustment  of  the  budgetary  nomenclature  and  remarks  following  the  adoption  of  the 
REPowerEU plan4  and Regulation5  with targeted  amendments  to  the Recovery and  Resilience 
Facility  Regulation  (RRF)6,  the  Emissions  Trading  Schemes  (ETS)  Directive7  as  well  as  the 
Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR) Regulation8; 

transferring the operational line of the CBAM from heading 1 to heading 3 of the Multiannual 
Financial Framework (MFF), in line with the final agreement reached in December 2022 by the 
European  Parliament  and  the  Council  on  the  establishment  of  the  CBAM,  while  adjusting  the 
staffing  and  other  administrative  appropriations  under  heading  7  as  per  the  revised  legislative 
financial statement (LFS); 

reinforcement of the Space Secure Connectivity programme for an amount of EUR 50 million in 
commitment appropriations, in order to complete the financing of the programme for the period 
until the end of 20279; 

adjusting  the  EU  contribution  and/or  staff  numbers  of  the  Anti-Money  Laundering  Authority 
(AMLA), the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), the 
Agency  for  support  to  the  Body  of  European  Regulators  for  Electronic  Communications 
(BEREC)  and  the  European  Chemicals  Agency  (ECHA)  to  take  account  of  changes  in  their 
mandates; 

adjusting the establishment plan of the Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA)  to take 
account of a minor change in the staff structure of the executive agency; 

increasing  the  level  of  appropriations  of  the  European  Data  Protection  Supervisor  (EDPS)  to 
finance  legal  fees  following  an  increase  of  litigation  cases  relating  to  the  application  of  the 
General Data Protection Regulation10.  

Overall,  the  net  impact  of  DAB  1  on  expenditure  amounts  to  an  increase  of  EUR  52,6  million  in 
commitment appropriations. No additional payment appropriations are requested. 

2.  REPOWEREU 

The  geopolitical  context has changed considerably  since the adoption of the Regulation  establishing 
the  Recovery  and  Resilience  Facility  (‘RRF’)11.  To  address  new  challenges,  on  18  May  2022  the 
Commission proposed to reinforce the firepower of the RRF through the REPowerEU plan.

The  Regulation12  on  the  creation  of  dedicated  REPowerEU  chapters  in  the  recovery  and  resilience 
plans  defines  specific  REPowerEU  objectives  that  should  be  addressed  by  the  investments  and 
reforms  to  be  included  in  the  existing  recovery  and  resilience  plans  (‘RRPs’).  In  addition,  the 
Regulation provides for additional sources of dedicated funding to finance the relevant measures. This 
includes additional revenue from auctioning of allowances from the Emissions Trading System under 
Directive 2003/87/EC as well as from voluntary transfers from the Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR). 
The additional financial support related to the REPowerEU chapters will be disbursed complementary 
to  the  initial  RRF  financial  contribution  and,  where  applicable,  the  loan  support,  according  to  a 
common instalment schedule. 

On 1 February 202313, the Commission published new guidance on the recovery and resilience plans. 
In order to ensure a rapid roll-out of REPowerEU measures, Member States should strive to submit 
their modified RPPs which include REPowerEU chapters by 30 April 2023. This is prior to the legal 
deadline of 31 August 2023, bearing in mind that the deadline for committing the amounts available 
under the remaining 30  % of the  grant  allocation is  end-2023.  In order to  allow the Commission to 
make the budgetary commitments in a timely manner upon the adoption of the Council implementing 
decisions,  the  Commission  proposes  to  make  all  the  necessary  additional  adjustments  to  the  budget 
nomenclature and budget remarks in DAB 1. Accordingly, the Commission proposes to create a new 
budget line 16 02 04 ‘Recovery and Resilience Facility - Contribution from the BAR’ as follows:

Additionally,  it  is  proposed  to  delete  the  budget  line  08  03  05  “Recovery  and  Resilience  Facility  - 
Contribution  from the EAFRD”  and to  include estimates with  regard to  the additional  funding from 
the REPowerEU ETS for the budget Chapter 06 02 – Recovery and Resilience Facility and Technical 
Support Instrument. 

The corresponding budget remarks are set out in the budgetary annex. 

3.  CARBON BORDER ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM (CBAM) 

The initial Commission proposal for the establishment of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism 
(CBAM)14  was  based  on  a  decentralised  governance  model  with  substantial  involvement  of  the 
Member States in the implementation of the mechanism. As set out in the original legislative financial 
statement (LFS) accompanying the proposal, this would have required the development of a relatively 
modest  IT  system  (which  the  Commission  proposed  to  finance  in  the  Draft  Budget  2023  under  the 
operational  heading  1  Single  Market,  Innovation  and  Digital)  and  limited  human  resources  in  the 
Commission (a maximum of eight establishment plan posts at full cruising speed, to be financed under 
heading 7 European Public Administration).  

However, the final agreement reached by the European Parliament and the Council in December 2022 
on the establishment of  the  Mechanism is  based on a centralised  governance model,  which requires

heavy involvement of the Commission in the implementation and the development and maintenance 
of a substantial IT system. At the same time, the co-legislators did not retain the option of financing 
CBAM from external assigned revenue accruing from the Emissions Trading System. Therefore, the 
increased  costs  for  the  IT  system  will  have  to  be  financed  from  the  margin  under  the  expenditure 
ceiling of heading 3 (Natural Resources and Environment), whereas the additional Commission staff 
will have to be financed under heading 7.  

On 1 February 2023 the Commission transmitted a revised  LFS to the European Parliament and the 
Council, which sets out the budgetary impact of the new governance model covering the period 2023-
2027.  The  Commission  proposes  to  include  the  impact  for  the  financial  year  2023  in  DAB  1,  with 
some minor reductions  of appropriations  as  compared to the  estimates in  the revised  LFS  for 2023. 
Notably,  given  the  need  to  accelerate  the  preparations  for  the  creation  of  the  IT  system,  the 
Commission has been able to cover EUR 7,7 million of the CBAM needs identified in the revised LFS 
by appropriations available under the Customs and Fiscalis programmes in 2023. 

Accordingly,  the  Commission  proposes  to  create  a  new  budget  line  for  CBAM  in  heading  3  with  a 
level of respectively EUR 4,1 million in commitment appropriations and EUR 1,6 million in payment 
appropriations and to delete the existing budget line in heading 1, while adding the appropriations to 
the corresponding margin under heading 1, as follows:

As regards staffing, the Commission was fully ready to address the initial staffing needs of up to eight 
posts  under  the  decentralised  governance  model  by  reallocation  and  reprioritisation  of  resources 
within  the  institution,  in  line  with  the  policy  of  stable  staffing  which  the  Commission  has 
implemented  since  the  start  of  the  current  MFF.  However,  an  estimated  90  staff  will  be  needed  to 
ensure  the  centralised  management  of  CBAM  at  full  cruising  speed,  of  which  16  posts  and  four 
external staff in 2023. Also given that the Commission has met the needs of other priority areas within 
its stable staffing policy over the past years, such as for the COVID-19 response, the energy crisis and 
the  extensive  work  in  relation  to  Ukraine,  it  is  not  possible  to  find  such  large  staff  numbers  by 
redeployment,  without  jeopardising  other  critical  ongoing  activities.  That  is  why  the  Commission 
issued a unilateral statement on the financing of human resources for CBAM on 1 February 2023:  

“The Commission recalls that the final agreement reached by the co-legislators on the establishment 
of the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) has evolved significantly in terms of the human 
resources  required  for  its  implementation  within  the  Commission,  compared  to  the  legislative 
financial statement which accompanied the original proposal (COM(2021) 564 final of 14.07.2021), 
which was based on a decentralised model of implementation. 

The  additional  Commission  human  resources  required  by  the  final  agreement  endorsed  by  the  co-
legislators will not allow the Commission to respect the principle of stable staffing and will require 
additional resources, to be authorised by the European Parliament and the Council during the annual 
budget procedure along with the related budgetary appropriations.  

Without  any  additional  means,  such  as  the  external  assigned  revenue  accruing  from  the  ETS,  the 
options to finance the necessary administrative costs (staff and IT) of CBAM cannot be easily found. 

5 

 
 
 
 
 
Heading  7  European  Public  Administration  of  the  multiannual  financial  framework  2021-2027  was 
built on the principle of stable staffing, and there is no margin to finance additional officials.  

The  margin  in  Heading  3  Natural  resources  and  Environment  may  in  principle  accommodate  IT-
related  expenditure,  subject  to  its  limits.  The  reduced  availabilities  under  the  heading  will  limit  the 
capacity of the EU budget to finance new political priorities.” 

It is against this background that the Commission now asks for an additional 16 posts in its operating 
establishment plan and four contract agents in 2023, as well as a corresponding amount of EUR  1,5 
million to cover the related administrative expenditure in heading 7, assuming recruitment on average 
mid-year. 

These additional staff will be carrying out tasks linked to both the implementation of CBAM and the 
IT  project.  As  such,  12  AD  posts  will  address  the  2023  workload  related  to  several  delegated  and 
implementing  acts,  the  methodology  for  calculating  embedded  emissions,  financial  responsibility 
oversight  and  contracts  and  reports.  Commission  staff  will  also  be  needed  to  review  and  assess  the 
functioning  of  the  CBAM  system  and  to  implement  the  IT  system.  In  addition,  the  strategic 
importance,  the  magnitude  and  complexity  of  the  CBAM  IT  project  require  a  dedicated  CBAM  IT 
team estimated at a total of 15 FTEs to manage the overall project implementation and operations. The 
Commission  has  already  internally  redeployed  seven  FTEs  for  this  purpose.  Eight  further  FTEs,  of 
which four AD posts and four contract agents, are therefore needed in 2023.

4.  UNION SECURE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAMME 

In the final trilogue on 23 November 2022, the co-legislators agreed to increase the financing of the 
Union  Secure  Connectivity  initiative  by  EUR  50  million  from  the  unallocated  margin  under  the 
expenditure ceiling of Heading 1. In order to implement this agreement, the Commission proposes to 
include in DAB 1 an amount of EUR 50 million in commitment appropriations, which will contribute 
to the launch of procurement procedures in 2023. The current level of payment appropriations in the 
2023 budget is considered sufficient to cover this year’s payment needs.

5.1 

Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) 

The Commission proposal to establish the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA)15 foresaw the 
start  of  activities  in  2023.  In  accordance  with  Article  49  of  the  Financial  Regulation,  the  foreseen 
amount of EUR 1 085 270 for 2023 was entered into the reserve (the ‘provisions’ title). Due to longer 
negotiations on the proposal, however, the activities will not start in 2023 and therefore the amount in 
the reserve can be cancelled. The margin in heading 1 will increase correspondingly.

5.2 

European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) 

The  mandate  of  the  European  Union  Agency  for  the  Cooperation  of  Energy  Regulators  (ACER)  is 
proposed to be extended by the following two new initiatives. 

Firstly,  the  Council  Regulation  enhancing  solidarity  through  better  coordination  of  gas  purchases, 
exchanges  of  gas  across  borders  and  reliable  price  benchmarks16  tasks  ACER  with  creating  an 
objective price assessment tool, and over time a benchmark, of the EU’s LNG imports by collecting 
real-time information on all daily transactions. In order to enable the agency to carry out its new tasks, 
the  Commission  proposes  to  increase  the  EU  contribution  to  ACER  by  EUR  1,83  million  in  2023. 
This  includes  the  financing  of  five  additional  posts  in  the  establishment  plan  of  the  agency.  The 
increase in the EU contribution to ACER is proposed to be offset from the CEF-Energy programme. 

Secondly, the Council Regulation establishing a market correction mechanism to protect citizens and 
the  economy  against  excessively  high  prices17  provides  that  ACER  will  exercise  support  in 
monitoring, activating and suspending the market correction mechanism. This entails additional tasks 
including  as  regards  the  functioning  of  commodity  markets  and  security  of  supply,  that  are  not 
currently part of the Commission’s role. In order to enable the agency to carry out its new tasks, the 
Commission  proposes  to  increase  the  EU  contribution  to  ACER  by  EUR  942  000  in  2023.  This 
includes the financing of six additional posts in the establishment plan of the agency. The increase in 
the EU contribution to ACER is proposed to be offset from the CEF-Energy programme.  

The overall impact on expenditure is as follows:

Further to difficulties encountered by the Agency for support to the Body of European Regulators for 
Electronic Communications (BEREC Office) to allocate a sufficient number of temporary agent posts 
to its core management and administrative functions, the Commission proposes to add one post in the 
establishment  plan.  The  additional  establishment  post  will  be  financed  within  the  existing  EU 
contribution.   

The updated establishment plan is set out in the budgetary annex. 

5.4 

European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) 

The  Commission  proposal  for  a  Regulation  concerning  batteries  and  waste  batteries18  proposed  to 
assign  new  tasks  to  the  European  Chemicals  Agency  –  Environmental  directives  and  international 
conventions (ECHA), which was expected to require an amount of EUR 602 000 in 2023, offset from 
the  LIFE  programme.  In  accordance  with  Article  49  of  the  Financial  Regulation,  this  amount  was 
entered into the reserve (the ‘provisions’ title). However, following the circulation of a revised LFS, 
the  corresponding  financial  impact  is  postponed  to  2024.  Therefore,  the  Commission  proposes  to 
return the 2023 allocation to the LIFE programme as follows:

The establishment plan of the Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) needs to be amended to 
accommodate  a  change  of  staff  structure  in  the  agency.  Hence  a  budgetary  neutral  upgrade  of  one 
AST  post  into  one  AD  post  is  requested,  with  no  impact  on  the  administrative  expenditure  of  the 
agency for 2023.   

The updated establishment plan is set out in the budgetary annex. 

7.  EUROPEAN DATA PROTECTION SUPERVISOR (EDPS) 

The  role  of  the  EDPS  in  the  application  of  the  General  Data  Protection  Regulation19  requires  a 
reinforcement of its budget by EUR 300 000, in order to finance legal fees following an increase of 
litigation cases.  

As  national  Data  Protection  Authorities  (DPA)  are  developing  their  enforcement  activities,  more 
disputes require intervention by the European Data Protection Board (EPDB), a unique responsibility 
in  the  EU  digital  regulatory  governance  landscape.  The  EDPB  binding  decisions  play  a  key  role  in 
ensuring the correct and consistent application of the GDPR by the national Supervisory Authorities.

Binding  decisions  address  large-scale  cross-border  matters,  and  generally  address  complex  subject 
matters in relation to processing operations performed by major players. They are therefore challenged 
before  the  General  Court.  Actions  by  the  controller  targeted  by  the  investigation  are  considered 
inadmissible following the General Court’s order of 7 December 2022 in Case T-709/21 WhatsApp v 
EDPB. However, that order is currently under appeal, which means that the EDPB’s relief from that 
stream of litigation is not yet final and will depend on whether the Court of Justice will confirm the 
General Court’s order. 

More  actions  will  be  launched  shortly  and  by  March  2023,  the  EDPB  will  have  to  deal  with  nine 
litigation cases in parallel. EDPB submissions for proceedings require assistance by a law firm as they 
generally address new and/or complex legal questions on the interpretation and application of EU law 
and of the GDPR requiring a part of the litigation work. The total level of appropriations needed for 
legal  support  in  2023  is  estimated  at  EUR  600  000.  After  a  thorough  assessment  of  the  room  for 
internal redeployment within Title 3 of the EDPS budget, EUR 150 000 can be redeployed from other 
budget  lines.  Therefore,  and  also  considering  the  initial  level  of  appropriations  of  EUR  150  000 
available on the corresponding budget  line, it is proposed to  increase the level  of appropriations  for 
this purpose by EUR 300 000.
