   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 29.2.2024  COM(2024) 100 final 2024/0060 (COD)  Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending  Regulations (EU) 2021/522,  (EU) 2021/1057,  (EU) 2021/1060,  (EU) 2021/1139,  (EU) 2021/1229,  and  (EU) 2021/1755 as regards the changes to the amounts of funds for certain programmes and funds   
 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

• 

Reasons for and objectives of the proposal 

On  20  June  2023,  the  Commission  adopted  a  proposal  for  the  mid-term  revision  of  the 
Multiannual Financial Framework1 (MFF) aiming at reinforcing the EU’s long-term budget to 
increase the Union’s resilience and leadership in the most urgent priorities and needs, notably 
strengthening the EU support to Ukraine.   

On  29  February  2024,  the  Council  adopted  an  amendment  to  Regulation  (EU,  Euratom) 
2020/20932  with  the  consent  of  the  European  Parliament  for  the  mid-term  revision  of  the 
MFF. 

The  MFF  revision  includes  increases  of  resources  for  several  EU  programmes.  To  mitigate 
the  impact  of  the  revision  of  the  MFF  on  national  budgets,  these  increases  will  be  partly 
compensated by redeployments and reprioritisations within the EU budget. The net increase 
of funding for new priorities amounts to EUR 21 billion until the end of this MFF.  

This requires modifying  the expenditure  ceilings, as well as, in  some  cases,  amendments  of 
the budgetary provisions of the legislative acts establishing the programmes and instruments 
concerned,  in  line  with  the  provisions  of  point  18  of  the  Interinstitutional  Agreement  of  16 
December 20203 as regards the incorporation of financial provisions in legislative acts. 

The  following  Regulations  must  be  amended  as  the  appropriate  reductions  to  the  financial 
envelopes  of  the  programmes  go  beyond  the  flexibility  under  that  Interinstitutional 
Agreement:

Regulation (EU) 2021/1229 of the European Parliament and of the Council8, 
Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 of the European Parliament and of the Council9, 

In  addition,  there  is  a  parallel  amendment  increasing  the  financial  envelope  of  the  Border 
Management and Visa Instrument (BMVI), which is not included in the present proposal due 
to the different voting rules. 

There is a pressing need to provide the Union with appropriate funding and to provide legal 
certainty to the preparations of the draft budget  of the Union for the financial year 2025, as 
well as for the financial programming for the years 2026 and 2027. The Commission therefore 
calls on the European Parliament and the Council to ensure a rapid adoption via the use of an 
urgent adoption procedure.  

2. 

• 

LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY 

Legal basis 

The proposal is  based on Article 43(2),  Article  164,  Article 168(5),  Article 175  and Article 
177 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU’) which are the relevant 
legal bases for the specific provisions of the Regulations to be amended.  

• 

Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)  

This  proposal  is  in  line  with  the  subsidiarity  principle,  as  it  only  affects  the  budgetary 
provisions of the Regulations to be amended, not their scope, objective, or delivery mode.  

• 

Proportionality 

This  proposal  respects  the  proportionality  principle,  as  it  is  limited  to  changes  strictly 
necessary to give effect to the amendment to Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093. 

• 

Choice of the instrument 

The regulations listed above are to be amended by way of a Regulation to give effect to the 
amendment  of  Council  Regulation  2020/2093.  The  inclusion  of  all  necessary  amendments 
(except  for  the  one  to  the  Border  Management  and  Visa  Instrument)  in  a  single  legislative 
proposal aims at ensuring a coherent negotiation process as well as at facilitating the adoption 
by the legislator as a matter of urgency.   

3. 

BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS 

The amendment  to  Regulation  (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093  includes  reinforcements of several 
programmes and priorities, whose impact on national budgets is mitigated by redeployments 
of  funds  from  a  set  of  EU  programmes.  This  proposal  aims  at  implementing  these 
redeployments.

Under  Heading  2a,  this  proposal  will  result  in  a  reduction  of  the  resources  allocated  to 
Interregional Innovation Investments by EUR 75 000 000 in current prices (EUR 64 020 145 
in 2018 prices), the European Urban Initiative by EUR 55 000 000 in current prices (EUR 46 
929  686  in  2018  prices),  ESF+  Transnational  Cooperation  by  EUR  65  000  000  in  current 
prices (EUR  55 473 996 in  2018 prices).  It  will also  make it possible to reduce the amount 
used as technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission; the reduction is estimated at 
EUR 210 000 000 in current prices (EUR 178 656 655 in 2018 prices)  for the period 2025-
2027. 

Under Heading 2b, it is proposed to reduce the EU4Health amount by EUR 1 000 000 000 in 
current  prices  (845 000 000 in  2018 prices)  for the period 2025-2027 from  the programme-
specific  adjustment  defined  in  Article  5  and  Annex  II  of  the  Council  Regulation  (EU, 
Euratom) 2020/209310.  

Under Heading 3, it is proposed to reduce the resources allocated to the Public Sector Loan 
Facility  by  EUR  150  000  000.  The  European  Maritime,  Fisheries  and  Aquaculture  Fund’s 
(EMFAF) direct and indirect management resources for the period 2025-2027 will be reduced 
by EUR 105 000 000. 

Concerning special instruments, it is proposed to reduce the resources provisionally allocated 
to the Brexit Adjustment Reserve by EUR 584 264 090. 

The  above  reductions  are  expressed  in  current  prices  and  set  a  limit  on  the  amounts  of 
commitment  appropriations  to  be  included  in  the  annual  budgets  for  years  2025,  2026  and 
2027.

Parliament  and  of  the  Council,  unprecedented  geopolitical  events  have  occurred, 
triggered  by  Russia’s  illegal  war  of  aggression  against  Ukraine,  the  ensuing  energy 
crisis  and  the  related  spike  in  inflation  and  interest  rates.  These  geopolitical  and 
economic developments have brought new emergencies which should be addressed to 
deliver  on  the  Union’s  shared  priorities  and  needs.  Taking  into  account  the  near 
exhaustion  of  the  limited  budgetary  flexibilities  and  the  limits  reached  by 
redeployment  possibilities,  the  Multiannual  Financial  Framework  (MFF)  had  to  be 
reinforced  for  the  period  2024-2027  to  provide  for  the  funding  that  is  the  most 
essentially needed to respond to urgent and common challenges. 
Following  the  Commission  proposal  for  a  targeted  revision  of  the  2021-2027  MFF9, 
Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/209310 was amended by Council Regulation 
224/765 on 29 February 202411. 

To give effect to the revision of the MFF, certain sector-specific regulations should be 
amended, in addition to Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093.  

The  additional  allocation  to  the  EU4Health  programme  under  Regulation  (EU) 
2021/522 resulting from the programme-specific adjustment provided for in Article 5 
of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 should be reduced. 

The  initial  allocation  for  the  Transnational  Cooperation  part  of  the  European  Social 
Fund Plus (ESF+) provided for in Regulation (EU) 2021/1057 should be reduced. 

The allocation for the European Urban Initiative, Interregional Innovation Investments 
and for the Transnational Cooperation part of the ESF+, as provided for in Regulation 
(EU) 2021/1060, should be reduced and the ceiling for technical assistance should be 
adjusted accordingly. 

The  financial  envelope  for  direct  and  indirect  management  under  Regulation  (EU) 
2021/1139 should be reduced.  

The  total  amount  of  the  grant  component  of  the  Public  Sector  Loan  Facility  to  be 
financed  from  the  Union  budget  for  the  2021-2027  MFF  period  in  accordance  with 
Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 should be reduced.  

The  maximum  resources  of  the  Brexit  Adjustment  Reserve  as  provided  for  in 
Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 should be reduced.

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

Article 1 

In Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 2021/522, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following: 

“2.  As  a  result  of  the  programme-specific  adjustment  provided  for  in  Article  5  of  Council 
Regulation  (EU,  Euratom)  2020/2093  (*),  the  amount  referred  to  in  paragraph  1  of  this

FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE  

1.1. 

Title of the proposal/initiative 

Proposal  for a Regulation of the European Parlimane and of the Council amending 
Regulations  (EU)  2021/522,  (EU)  2021/1057,  (EU)    2021/1060,  (EU)  2021/1139, 
(EU) 2021/1229, and (EU) 2021/1755 as regards the changes to the amounts of funds 
for certain programmes and funds 

1.2. 

Policy area(s) concerned  

05 Regional Development and Cohesion 

06 Recovery and Resilience 

07 Investing in People, Social Cohesion and Values 

08 Agriculture and Maritime Policy 

16  Expenditure  outside  the  annual  ceilings  set  out  in  the  Multiannual  Financial 
Framework (Article 16 02 03 Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR))  

30 Reserves (Article 30 04 03 Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR) 

1.3. 

The proposal/initiative relates to:  

 a new action  

 a new action following a pilot project/preparatory action22  

 the extension of an existing action  

 a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another/a new action  

1.4. 

Objective(s) 

1.4.1.  General objective(s) 

On  29  February  2024,  the  Council  adopted  an  amendment  to  Regulation  (EU, 
Euratom)  2020/2093  following  the  the  mid-term  review/revision  of  the  2021-2027 
Multiannual Financial Framework. 

The  MFF  revision  includes  increases  of  resources  for  several  EU  programmes.  To 
mitigate the impact of the revision of the MFF on national  budgets, these increases 
will  be  partly  compensated  by  redeployments  and  reprioritisations  within  the  EU 
budget.  The  net  increase  of  funding  for  new  priorities  amounts  to  EUR  21  billion 
until the end of this MFF. 

This  requires  modifying  the  expenditure  ceilings,  as  well  as,  in  some  cases, 
amendments  of  the  budgetary  provisions  of  the  legislative  acts  establishing  the 
programmes and instruments concerned, in line with the provisions of point 18 of the 
Interinstitutional  Agreement  of  16  December  2020    as  regards  the  incorporation  of 
financial provisions in legislative acts. 

Concerning  sections  1.4,  1.5  and  1.6,  information  on  the  general  objectives  can  be 
found in the relevant legislative proposals of the programmes:

As referred to in Article 58(2)(a) or (b) of the Financial Regulation.

Proposal  for  a  Regulation  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  on  the 
establishment  of  a  Programme  for  the  Union's  action  in  the  field  of  health 
(COM/2020/405  final).  The  EU4Health  Programme  contributes  to  the  following 
main objectives: 

improving  and  fostering  health  in  the  Union  to  reduce  the  burden  of 
a) 
communicable and non-communicable diseases, by supporting health promotion and 
disease  prevention,  by  reducing  health  inequalities,  by  fostering  healthy  lifestyles 
and by promoting access to healthcare; 

b) 
protecting people in the Union from serious cross-border threats to health and 
strengthening  the  responsiveness  of  health  systems  and  coordination  among  the 
Member States in order to cope with serious cross-border threats to health; 

(c)  improving  the  availability,  accessibility  and  affordability  of  medicinal  products 
and  medical  devices,  and  crisis-relevant  products  in  the  Union,  and  supporting 
innovation regarding such products; 

(d)  strengthening  health  systems  by  improving  their  resilience  and  resource 
efficiency. 

Proposal  for  a  Regulation  laying  down  common  provisions  on  the  European 
Regional  Development  Fund,  the  European  Social  Fund  Plus,  the  Cohesion  Fund, 
and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and financial rules for those and for 
the  Asylum  and  Migration  Fund,  the  Internal  Security  Fund  and  the  Border 
Management  and  Visa  Instrument  (COM/2018/375  final).  This  proposal  includes 
specific  allocations  for  the  European  Urban  Initiative,  the  Interregional  Innovation 
Investments, ESF+ Transnational Cooperation and a ceiling for technical  assistance 
at the initiative of the Commission. 

Proposal  for  a  Regulation  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  on  the 
public  sector  loan  facility  under  the  Just  Transition  Mechanism  (COM(2020)  453 
final). The public sector loan facility established under this proposal constitutes the 
third  pillar  of  the  Just  Transition  Mechanism.  It  will  support  public  investments, 
through preferential lending conditions. These investments will benefit the territories 
most negatively affected by the climate transition as identified in the territorial just 
transition plans for the purposes of the Just Transition Fund. 

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing 
the  Brexit  Adjustment  Reserve  (COM(2020)  854  final).  The  Reserve  established 
under this Regulation will provide support to Member States, regions and sectors, in 
particular  those  that  are  worst  affected  by  the  adverse  consequences  of  the 
withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union, mitigating thus its impact on the 
economic,  social  and  territorial  cohesion.  The  Reserve  will  provide  financial 
contributions  to  cover  all  or  part  of  the  additional  public  expenditure  incurred  by 
Member  States,  especially  those  relying  most  heavily  on  trade  and  economic 
relations with the United Kingdom, for measures directly linked to the withdrawal. 

Proposal  for  a  Regulation  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  on  the 
European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 
of the European Parliament and of the Council (COM/2018/390 final). The purpose 
of this proposal is the establishment of the EMFAF for the 2021-2027 period. That 
fund aims to target funding from the Union budget to support the Common Fisheries 
international 
Policy  (CFP), 
commitments  in  the  field  of  ocean  governance.  EMFAF  is  a  key  enabler  for 

the  Union's  maritime  policy  and 

the  Union's

oceans.

programme-specific  adjustment  defined  in  Article  5  and  Annex  II  of  the 
Council  Regulation  (EU,  Euratom)  2020/2093  by  EUR  1  000  000  000  in 
current  prices  (845  000  000  in  2018  prices)  for  the  period  2025-2027.  The 
consequences  on  the  measures  implemented  under  the  programme  will  be 
assessed during the preparation of the annual work programme. 

The  proposal  for  amendments  to  Regulation  (EU)  2021/1229  will  reduce  the  
total  amount  of  the  grant  component  of  the  public  sector  loan  facility  to  be 
financed  from  the  Union  budget  for  the  2021-2027  MFF  period  by  EUR  150 
000 000 in current prices.  

The  proposal  for  amendments  to  Regulation  (EU)  2021/1060  will  reduce  the 
allocation  for  the  European  Urban  Initiative  by  EUR  55  million  in  current 
prices,  for  the  Interregional  Innovation  Investments  by  EUR  75  million  in 
current  prices,  for  ESF+  Transnational  Cooperation  by  EUR  65  million  in 
current  prices and  for technical  assistance at  the  initiative of the Commission 
by EUR 210 million in current prices. 

The  proposal  for  amendments  to  Regulation  (EU)  2021/1755  will  reduce  the 
remaining provisional allocation of the BAR that becomes available in 2025 by 
EUR 584 264 090 in current prices. 

The  proposal  for  the  amendment  to  Article  7  (1)  of  the  Regulation  (EU) 
2021/1139 will reduce the allocation for the EMFAF implemented under direct 
and indirect management by EUR 105 000 000 in current prices for the period 
2025-2027.

Summary of estimated impact on administrative appropriations  

The  Mid-Term  Review  of  the  MFF    included  reductions  of  certain  budgetary  envelopes,  as 
presented  in  this  act,  but  also  significant  increases  on  others.  The  net  effect  of  these 
amendments  will  have  no  impact  on  the  administrative  costs  and  resources  of  the 
Commission. In this context, the Commission will continue to seek an effective and efficient 
use  of  its  human  resources,  taking  account  of  the  principle  of  stable  staffing,  by  constantly 
assessing internal redeployment opportunities.  

–    The  proposal/initiative  does  not  require  the  use  of  appropriations  of  an 

administrative nature
