   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 4.11.2025  COM(2025) 684 final  REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL on EAGF expenditure                   Early Warning System 1-6/2025

THE 2025 EAGF BUDGET PROCEDURE 

to 

EUR 39 975.9 million 

On 27 November 2024 the European Parliament adopted the 2025 general budget of the 
European  Union.  The  budget  for  the  European  Agricultural  Guarantee  Fund  (EAGF) 
amounts 
and 
of 
EUR 40 030.7 million of payment appropriations. The reason for the different amounts 
for  both  types  of  appropriations  is  the  use  of  differentiated  appropriations  for  certain 
measures  directly  implemented  by  the  Commission.  These  relate  mainly  to  promotion 
measures  for  agricultural  products  and  to  policy  strategy,  coordination  and  audit 
measures.

REVENUE ASSIGNED TO THE EAGF 

Based on the provisions of Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2116, revenue originating 
from  financial  corrections  under  accounting  and  performance  clearance  decisions  and 
irregularities constitutes revenue assigned to the financing of EAGF expenditure.  

According to Article 45(2), assigned revenue can be reused to cover the financing needs 
of  any  EAGF  expenditure.  The  assigned  revenue  collected  and  left  unused  within  the 
financial year is automatically carried over to the following financial year1. 

The 2025 EAGF budget includes: 

• 

the Commission's estimates of the financing needs for market measures (including the 
agricultural  reserve)  and  direct  payments  under  shared  management  and  other 
expenditure under direct management; 

• 

the estimates of assigned revenue to be collected during the financial year; 

•  and the carry-over of the balance of assigned revenue that was still available from the 

previous financial year. 

In  its  proposal  for  the  2025  EAGF  budget  appropriations,  the  Commission  took  into 
consideration the total expected assigned revenue. For the 2025 budget the Commission 
requested  a  level  of  appropriations  calculated  by  deducting  the  estimated  assigned 
revenue from the estimated needs. The Budgetary Authority adopted the EAGF budget 
for 2025 taking account of the expected assigned revenue.  

At the time of establishing the 2025 budget, the Commission’s estimate of the available 
assigned revenue was EUR 949.4 million out of which EUR 554.4 million carried over 
from Budget 2024. The Commission considered this carried-over amount and estimated 
revenue to be collected in 2025 when requesting the appropriations for the basic income

Art 12(4)(b) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 
September  2024  on  the  financial  rules  applicable  to  the  general  budget  of  the  Union  determines  that 
appropriations  corresponding  to  internal  assigned  revenue  may  be  carried  over  only  to  the  following 
financial year. Therefore, in the interests of sound budget management, this assigned revenue is generally 
used first before the voted appropriation of the concerned budget article.

support for sustainability (item 08 02 04 01). The sum of the voted appropriations for this 
scheme and the estimated assigned revenue is equal to EUR 18 959 million.  

The  assigned  revenue  eventually  carried  over  from  2024  was  marginally  higher  at 
EUR 555.8 million.

COMMENTS ON THE 2025 AGRICULTURAL RESERVE   

Budget  2025  includes  an  amount  of  EUR  646.7  million  for  the  agricultural  reserve, 
including a carry-over of EUR 366.5 million from Budget 2024.  
Three measures, allocating EUR 113.7 million, have been adopted so far this budget year2.  

2 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/441 of 6 March 2025 providing for emergency financial support 
for the agricultural sectors affected by adverse climatic events and natural disasters in Spain, Croatia, Cyprus, Latvia 
and Hungary, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council. (OJ

The total expenditure made for the agricultural reserve by end April, for measures adopted 
in  financial  year  2024  with  an  eligibility  date  in  financial  year  2025,  amounts  to 
EUR 191.8 million.

COMMENTS ON THE PROVISIONAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2025 EAGF BUDGET 

The provisional execution of the 2025 EAGF budget appropriations, for the period up to 
30 April 2025, is slightly above the calculated expenditure profile (2.6 % points).  

Contrary to the previous financial years, the expenditure for the overall sectoral types of 
interventions under the CAP Strategic Plans (08 02 02) shows an upward deviation from 
the profile. 

Most of the direct payments types of intervention under the CSP (08 02 04) show budget 
execution that exceeds expectations.  

An amount of EUR 685.7 million of assigned revenue (6 2 0 0) is already available and 
additional amounts are expected to be collected during the financial year. 

On the basis of the data available until end of April, the Commission services assume that 
the voted appropriations, together with the amount of assigned revenue  expected to be 
available at the end of the financial year, will be sufficient to cover all expenditure.
