               1.Introduction
            
            
               On 27 July 2020, the Commission transmitted the draft budget for 2021 in all official languages
                  14
               . On 7 September 2020, the Council completed its reading of the draft budget and on 12 November 2020 the European Parliament adopted its reading. On 13 November the Commission transmitted amending letter 1/2021 with updated estimates for the year 2021. As the European Parliament did not accept the Council reading and adopted amendments to the draft budget which could not be accepted by the Council, a Conciliation Committee was convened, in accordance with Article 314(4)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
            
            
               The Conciliation Committee worked over a period of twenty-one days, between 17 November and 7 December 2020. Although the Conciliation Committee reached a common understanding on the content of the budget for 2021, based on the Draft Elements of Joint Conclusions no. 4 as presented by the Commission on 4 December 2020, in the light of the circumstances as regards the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for 2021-2027 at that time, it was not in a position to agree on a joint text within the conciliation period of 21 days.
            
            
               In the absence of formal agreement in the Conciliation Committee, in accordance with Article 314(8) of the TFEU, the Commission hereby submits a second draft budget for 2021. It is based on the common understanding reached by the Conciliation Committee on 4 December. It follows to a large extent the Commission’s original draft budget, as amended by Amending letter no 1/2021
                  15
               , with some significant reinforcements in commitment appropriations for key programmes and investments contributing to green and digital transition and creating jobs and growth (such as the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) – Transport, the Digital Europe Programme and LIFE) and with some decreases and redeployments especially in heading 2b following the readings of the Council and the European Parliament of the original draft budget. A targeted increase amounting to EUR 20 million of Horizon Europe is proposed through the application of Article 15.3 of the Financial Regulation. The overall level of payments following the changes in commitments and redeployments is EUR 63,9 million lower compared to Amending letter 1/2021. 
            
            
               Given the progress in the formal adoption of the Multiannual Financial Framework package, the second draft general budget is proposed with a view of its adoption together with the new 2021-2027 MFF before the end of the year.

               For decentralised agencies, the EU contribution (in commitment appropriations and in payment appropriations) and the number of posts are proposed to be set at the level of the original draft budget as amended by Amending letter 1/2021, with the following amendments:

               Following the recent political agreement of 10 November 2020 between the European Parliament and the Council on the MFF 2021-2027 and pending the approval of the relevant texts, the reduction for the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) in 2021 does not affect the overall top-up of EUR 0,5 billion (in 2018 prices) agreed politically in that context. The cut proposed in 2021 will be compensated in later years in line with the agreement on the MFF, whilst respecting the principles of sound financial management.
            
            
               As a consequence, the level of commitment appropriations is set at EUR 2 278,8 million, leaving a margin of EUR 188,2 million under the expenditure ceiling of heading.

               Following the recent political agreement of 10 November 2020 between the European Parliament and the Council on the MFF 2021-2027 and pending the approval of the relevant texts, the reinforcement of Humanitarian Aid is part of the overall top-up of EUR 0,5 billion (in 2018 prices) agreed politically in that context, leaving EUR 476,4 million in 2018 prices available for the period 2022-2027.
            
            
               As a consequence, the level of commitment appropriations is set at EUR 16 097,2 million, leaving a margin of EUR 149,8 million under the expenditure ceiling of heading.
            
            
               3.2.8.Heading 7 – European Public Administration
            
            
               For heading 7, the number of posts in the establishment plans of the institutions and the appropriations are proposed to be set at the level of the original draft budget, as amended by Amending Letter 1/2021 with the following exceptions:
            
            
               ·The section of the European Parliament for which its reading is approved and further adjusted to include (i) the impact of the revised salary update as per Amending Letter 1/2021 and (ii) the transfer of two establishment posts from the European Parliament (EP) to the European Commission with a view to support the operations of CERT-EU as per Amending Letter 1/2021;
            
            
               ·The section of the Council, for which its reading is approved and further adjusted to include the impact of the revised salary update as per Amending Letter 1/2021;
            
            
               ·The section of the European Court of Auditors (ECA) for which a technical update following the modification of the establishment plans further to the recourse to Article 53(1) of the Financial Regulation is agreed. This operation involved the conversion of one permanent AST11 post, one permanent AST8 post, one permanent AST7 post, two permanent AST5 posts, one permanent AST4 post and one temporary AST/SC3 post into respectively three permanent AD7 posts and four permanent AD5 posts with no impact on the level of appropriations.
            
            
               ·The section of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) for which the level of commitment and payment appropriations is increased by EUR 590 854.
            
            
               ·The section of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) for which the level of commitment and payment appropriations is increased by EUR 564 796.
            
            
               ·The section of the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) for which a technical update following the modification of the establishment plans further to the recourse to Article 53(1) of the Financial Regulation is agreed. This operation involved the conversion of one permanent AST5 post into one permanent AST/SC6 post with no impact on the level of appropriations.
            
            
               ·The section of the European External Action Service (EEAS) for which the level of commitment and payment appropriations is increased by EUR 1,0 million for the “Strategic Communication Capacity”;
            
            
               Furthermore as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the level of commitment and payment appropriations related to missions of all institutions except the European Parliament are reduced by 10%.
            
            
               The combined adjustments, resulting in an overall decrease of EUR 8,8 million of heading 7, are detailed by section in the following tables:

               As a consequence the level of commitment appropriations is set at EUR 10 448,3 million, leaving a margin of EUR 186,7 million under the expenditure ceiling of heading 7.
            
            
               3.2.9.Thematic special instruments: EGF and SEAR
            
            
               Commitment appropriations for the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF), and the Solidarity and Emergency Aid Reserve (SEAR) are set at the level proposed by the Commission in the draft budget, as amended by Amending Letter 1/2021.
            
         
         
            
               3.3.General approach for payment appropriations
            
            
               The overall level of payment appropriations is proposed to be set at the level of the original draft budget, as amended by Amending Letter 1/2020 with the following amendments:
            
            
               1.Firstly, account is taken of the proposed level of commitment appropriations for non-differentiated expenditure, for which the proposed level of payment appropriations is equal to the level of commitment appropriations. This includes the reduction of the financing cost of the European Recovery Instrument (EURI) by -EUR 71,9 million and the adjustment to the Union contribution to decentralised agencies. The combined effect is a decrease of -EUR 123,0 million; 
            
            
               2.The combined adjustments under heading 7 resulting in an overall decrease of EUR 8,8 million;
            
            
               3.The payment appropriations for all new pilot projects and preparatory actions included in the second draft budget are set at 25% of the corresponding commitment appropriations, or at the level proposed by Parliament, if lower. In the case of extension of existing pilot projects and preparatory actions, the level of payment appropriations is the one defined in the draft budget plus 25% of the corresponding new commitment appropriations, or at the level proposed by Parliament, if lower. The combined effect is an increase of EUR 17,9 million;
            
            
               4.The adjustments on the following budget lines are proposed as a result of the evolution in commitment appropriations for differentiated expenditure:

               There are no reserves in addition to those of the draft budget, as amended by Amending Letter 1/2021.
            
            
               Commitment and payment appropriations corresponding to new programmes for which the legal bases are being finalised and are expected to be adopted early in the 2021 will not be entered provisionally in reserve. Also, amounts for the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) will not be put in reserve, given the urgent nature of the needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

               ·In line with the EUCO agreement of July 2020 and confirmed in the political agreement of November 2020 between the European Parliament and the Council, the programmes (and the other elements) included in the draft budget under the new budget title 14 “Resilience and Crisis Response” have been transferred to the new budget title 06 “Recovery and Resilience” in Amending Letter 1/2021. Therefore a technical re-numbering of the titles 15 “External Action”, 16 “Pre-Accession Assistance” and 17 “Expenditure outside the annual ceilings set out in the Multiannual Financial Framework” is implemented as follows: Title 15 becomes Title 14, Title 16 becomes Title 15 and Title 17 becomes Title 16.
            
            
               ·The new preparatory action PA 01 21 01 for which the related appropriations are added to the existing preparatory action PA 01 20 01 is deleted and other existing preparatory actions under PA 01 21 are renumbered accordingly.

As a consequence, budget line 02 20 03 05 “Nuclear safety — Cooperation with the European Investment Bank” becomes 02 20 03 03 and budget line 03 20 03 06 “Renewable Energy Financing Mechanism” becomes 02 20 03 04.
            
            
               4.Concluding Remarks
            
            
               By proposing a second 2021 draft budget, which builds on the common understanding reached in the Conciliation Committee on 4 December, the Commission seeks to create the conditions for a swift adoption of the 2021 budget within the tight timeframe before the end of the year 2020 and upon adoption of the new MFF package.
            
            
               The timely adoption of the 2021 budget will ensure the proper implementation of the policies and programmes of the European Union. The Commission will do its utmost to achieve this goal.
