On 9 April 2024, the Commission submitted to the Council draft amending budget (DAB) No 2 to the general budget for 2024 concerning the budgeting of the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2023.
The implementation of the financial year 2023 shows a surplus of EUR 632.63 million, which results from:
(a) a positive outturn in the revenue part of the budget (+EUR 238.75 million) of which:
- Title 1 (Own resources): -EUR 1 504.74 million;
- Title 2 (Surpluses, balances and adjustments): +EUR 31.98 million;
- Title 3 (Administrative revenue): +EUR 106.80 million;
- Title 4 (Financial revenue, default interest and fines): +EUR 1 765.62 million;
- Title 6 (Revenue, contributions and refunds related to Union policies): -EUR 160.91 million
(b) an under-implementation on the expenditure side of the budget (-EUR 393.88 million), notably of:
- appropriations authorised in the budget 2023 (Commission and other institutions): -EUR 198.16 million;
- cancellation of appropriations carried over from previous years (Commission and other institutions): -EUR 118.09 million;
- exchange rate variations on expenditure: -EUR 77.63 million.
The budgeting of this surplus will diminish accordingly in line with the global contribution of the Member States to the financing of the EU budget in 2024.
On 13 September 2024, the Council adopted its position on DAB No 2 to the general budget for 2024 as set out in the technical annex contained in the technical annex to this explanatory memorandum.
PURPOSE: presentation of draft amending budget No 2/2024 to enter in the 2024 budget the surplus resting from the implementation of the budget year 2023.
CONTENT: draft amending budget (DAB) No 2/2024 is intended to enter in the 2024 budget the surplus resulting from the implementation of the budget year 2023.
The implementation of the budget year 2023 shows a surplus of EUR 0.6 billion, which is therefore entered as revenue in the 2024 budget.
Budgeting the surplus will reduce the total contribution of the Member States to the financing of the 2024 budget accordingly.
The contributions by Member States will also be influenced by the revised own resources forecast which will be available after the meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources later in 2024 and will be included in a subsequent Draft Amending Budget.
The combined net variations in Title 1 (Own Resources) and Title 2 (Surpluses, balances and adjustments) total minus EUR 1 472.8 million. This negative difference is predominantly driven by a lower than expected amount of customs duties made available to the EU budget in the second half of the year.
The variations in Title 3 (Administrative revenue) amount to EUR 106.8 million. This is mostly attributable to the higher than originally forecast pension contribution rate, as well as the application of an intermediate salary update as of January 2023. Both elements have mechanically increased the level of tax and levies and pensions contributions.
The variations in Title 4 (Financial revenue, default interest and fines) amount to EUR 1 765.6 million, which comprises revenue from competition fines and default interest, other penalty payments and interest linked to fines and penalty payments.
The amount of voted budget appropriations not implemented by all institutions combined was EUR 198.2 million.
The Commission implemented 99.9 % of the authorised payment appropriations.
The under-implementation of the Commission concerned an amount of EUR 159 million of voted appropriations and EUR 70 million of appropriations carried over from 2022.
Similarly, the under-implementation and the cancellation of appropriations of the other institutions remained low in 2023.

12 amendments...
Amendment 1 #
Motion for a resolution Recital E E. whereas, with Draft amending budget 2/2024, the annual GNI lump-sum reductions enjoyed by Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Austria amount to around EUR 5,4 billion net; whereas margins and flexibility in the Union budget remain very tight despite the revision of the multiannual financial framework (MFF) and the introduction of the new EURI Instrument to underwrite increased borrowing costs for the European Union Recovery Instrument; whereas it is deeply concerned about the impact of the inherent uncertainty for the European Union Recovery Instrument interest line; whereas the annual GNI lump-sum reductions coincide with NGEU borrowing costs that are much higher than forecast;
Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Takes note of the calculation of the adjusted annual GNI lump-sum reductions for the five beneficiary Member States, which amount to around EUR 5,4 billion net; highlights the fact that these rebates are inflation-linked and have therefore increased at a higher rate than the MFF ceilings, which are adjusted annually on the basis of the 2 % deflator;
Amendment 11 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 a (new) 5 a. Underlines that the Union needs budgetary discipline in the following years to be able to cope with unforeseen events and major provocations; highlights that, over recent years, the Union has only added new political priorities, while keeping the same budgetary resources;
Amendment 12 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 b (new) 5 b. Recalls its position on the amended Commission proposals, which endorse the introduction of new own resources; considers that the introduction of fresh genuine revenue sources, in line with the roadmap for the introduction of new own resources set out in Annex II of the IIA, would serve to cover the additional budgetary burden arising from NextGenerationEU borrowing and would thereby shield the margins and flexibility mechanisms, which in turn would facilitate budgetary decision-making on unforeseen needs as well as new strategic foresight initiatives; urges, furthermore, the Commission to continue its efforts to identify fresh, new and preferably genuine own resources and other revenue sources for the EU budget beyond the IIA;
Amendment 2 #
Motion for a resolution Recital E a (new) E a. whereas the Guidelines for the 2025 Budget - Section III reiterate that EURI borrowing costs should have been placed fully in a EURI special instrument over and above the MFF ceilings with a view to restoring some margin within Heading 2b and protecting budgetary space in the Flexibility and Single Margin Instruments;
Amendment 3 #
Motion for a resolution Recital E b (new) E b. whereas the budgetary needs are increasing but annual budgets and programmes are significantly reduced, and margins limited or equal to zero;
Amendment 4 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 Amendment 5 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2.
Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Underlines that the surplus reduces the total contribution of Member States to the financing of the 2024 budget at a time when financing needs remain high and space within the Union budget extremely limited; underlines that the surplus should stay within the EU annual budget in order to deal with the current challenges faced by the Union and cover the new priorities set at Union level;
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5.
Amendment 8 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Takes note of the calculation of the adjusted annual GNI lump-sum reductions for the five beneficiary Member States, which amount to around EUR 5,4 billion net; highlights the fact that these rebates are inflation-linked and have therefore increased at a higher rate than the MFF ceilings, which are adjusted annually on the basis of the 2 % deflator; stresses that this anomaly increases the burden on the other Member States; recalls that the rebates serve foremost as a corrective mechanism, aiming to compensate for high per capita contributions of the net- paying Member States into the EU budget and must absolutely be maintained;
Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Takes note of the calculation of the adjusted annual GNI lump-sum reductions for the five beneficiary Member States, which amount to around EUR 5,4 billion net; highlights the fact that these rebates are inflation-linked and have therefore increased at a higher rate than the MFF ceilings, which are adjusted annually on the basis of the 2 % deflator;
