OBRAZLOŽITEV
A) MOBILISATION OF THE SOLIDARITY FUND
The Slovakian Government submitted the application to mobilise the Solidarity Fund on 24 January 2005 (within the deadline of 10 weeks foreseen in article 4 of the Regulation N° 2012/2002). The 1st March 2005 the Slovak Authorities had submitted complementary information.
The rapporteur regrets that the Commission had approved the Preliminary Amending Budget number 3 (covering the aid to the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Tsunami affected countries) on the 27 of April and had wait to submit a proposal for a Preliminary Amending Budget for the Mobilisation of the Solidarity Fund until the 6th of June, submitting this matter together with the PDAB referring to the revenue side.
Aside from this, the European Parliament is still waiting for the Commission Communication on the detailed request of the Slovakian Authorities.
The total annual budget available for the Solidarity Fund is 1 billion (no carry-over allowed).
Slovakia estimated the total direct damage at EUR 224,650 million, which exceeds the threshold of 0.6% of Slovakia’s GNI (EUR 172,297 million). The Commission services examined the calculation of direct damages in the application and considered necessary to modify the calculation of damage to forests. The Commission estimated EUR 194 966 211 as the maximum level of direct damage that could be taken into account. As this amount is above the threshold (of 0.6% of GNI), the disaster falls within the concept of major natural disaster laid down in Regulation 2012/2002.
The storm hit around 28% of the total area in the affected regions (Banska, Bystrica, Kosice, Presov, Zilina) with a population of 2 910 433 inhabitants. According to Slovakia, forests were affected over an area of 24 000 ha. The Commission services had only accepted an area of slightly more than 20 000 ha as having been affected by the storm.
The cost of essential emergency operations has been estimated by Slovakia at EUR 106 679 924 . It should be noted that the implementing agreement can only include operations clearly falling under Article 3(2) of Regulation 2012/2002.
The Commission proposed allocation under the fund is based on an amount of EUR 194 966 211 considered as direct damage.
The total amount proposed by the Commission is EUR 5 667 578 (4 307 425 based on 2.5% criteria and 1 360 153 based on 6% criteria)
According to the IIA 2002 on the financing of the European Solidarity Fund the procedure should be as follows:
· Trialogue initiated by the Commission
· If an agreement is reached this should lead to the adoption of an Amending Budget, if possible in a single reading.
Following the procedure laid down in the 2002 IIA a Trialogue has taken place the 22nd of June in the European Parliament.
During the Trialogue the three Institutions agreed in the need of mobilising the Solidarity fund to cover the Slovakian needs after the 19/20 November 2004 wind storm.
The European Parliament took advantage of this meeting to propose an agreement to the Council in order to accelerate the process. The agreement consisted in including the mobilisation of the Solidarity Fund in favour of Slovakia in the DAB 2 to be voted by the European Parliament the 23rd. The Commission accepted the Parliament proposal but the Council refused to do so. Therefore the European Parliament had a second Trialogue with the Council and the Commission on the 11th July what delayed financing of the Slovakia losses caused by the natural disaster.
During its 28th meeting the Committee on Budgets has already approved the decision on the mobilisation of the EU solidarity Fund.
B)PART OF THE AB 5/2005 RELATED TO THE REVENUE SIDE
Introduction
Draft amending budget No 5/2005 covers the following points:
§ The revision of the forecasts of agricultural duties, customs duties, VAT bases and GNI and the budgeting of the UK corrections as well as their financing.
§ In addition to the revision of the forecasts of own resources, this DAB enters the repayment of the surplus from the Guarantee Fund for external measures related to 2004 in accordance with Article 7 of Council Decision 2000/597 on the system of the European Communities' own resources. This amounts to EUR187 130 000.
§ An additional amount of EUR 338 831 402 resulting from the repayment to the general budget of the amount corresponding to the provision (9%) of outstanding capital liabilities for 10 new Member States at 1 May 2004 (Article 1.2 of the Council Regulation No 2273/2004 on Community loans to third countries, Guarantee Fund and new Member States, transfer from the Fund to the budget).
The revision of forecasts
As compared to the forecasts, the 5 aggregates subject to revision in the present DAB are revised as follows:
1) The total EU-25 agricultural duties for 2005 is unchanged at EUR 819,4 million (after deduction of 25 % in collection costs), only the breakdown between Member States has been updated.
2) Total EU-25 customs duties for 2004 are now forecast at EUR 12 030,8 million (after deduction of 25 % in collection costs), which represents an increase by +11,9 % relative to the forecast of EUR 10 749,9 million.
3) The EU-25 uncapped VAT base at current market prices is forecast to amount to EUR 5 083 569,6 million in 2005, which represents an increase of +1,6 % compared to the initial EUR 5 003 621,2 million. The total EU-25 capped VAT base is forecast to amount EUR 4 893 151,0 million , which represents an increase of +0,4% compared to the initial EUR 4 871 346,6 million.
4) The EU-25 GNI at current market prices is forecast to amount to EUR 10 568 696,6 million in 2005, which represents a decrease by -0.1 % compared to the EUR 10 584 036,6 million originally forecast.
5) The total forecast of 2005 net sugar levies is nearly unchanged at EUR 793,8 million (after deduction of 25 % in collection costs). Only the break down between Member States has been updated.
The UK rebate
The correction of budgetary imbalances in favour of the UK to be budgeted in the present PDAB concerns two years, 2001 and 2004: Firstly, it is proposed that the 2004 correction, previously entered in the initial budget 2005, should be updated. Furthermore, the result of the final calculation of the 2001 correction and its financing is also budgeted in this DAB.
As the UK correction of a certain year is to be financed in the following year, all 25 Member States participate in the financing of the 2004 correction. The financing of the 2001 correction does, on the other hand, only concern the 15 countries that were Member States in 2001.
2004: The current estimate does differ from the estimate of the 2004 correction entered in the budget 2005. It is approximately EUR 70,5 million higher than the previously budgeted amount. An update of the 2004 correction, to be inserted in the present DAB, is therefore proposed. The total amount of the 2004 estimate now amounts to EUR 5 185 683 679.
2001: The result of the final calculation of the correction for 2001 amounts to EUR 4 896 335 040, i.e. a decrease of EUR 133,3 million as compared to the amount currently in the 2005 budget.
The adjustment of the UK correction figures in the present DAB 5/2005 thus consist of:
§ The difference between the total amount of the revised estimate for the 2004 correction (EUR 5 185 683 679) and the amount budgeted in 2005 (EUR 5 115 150 953):
EUR 70 532 727 , and
§ the difference between the final amount of the 2001 correction and the amount currently in the 2005 budget:
EUR – 133 293 301.
Financing by Member State in 2005
Following these complex calculations and revisions, it is of interest to summarise the overall financing of the EU budget, broken down per Member State, and showing the differences up to, and including, this Amending budget No 5/2005. The summary table in annex 1 shows the distribution of own resources payments between Member States in the 2005 budget (including the UK rebate) and is taken from the Commission's explanatory text (SEC(2005) 758, p. 5).
Annex 2 presents complementary information also made available by the Commission.
Appreciation
It should be noted that the contents of this Amending budget are of a technical nature and do not really prompt any specific action from the Parliament's side. The rapporteur would therefore suggest approving the Council's document without amendments and thus conclude the procedure in first reading.
The Rapporteur would also like to recall that a revision of the own resources system is urgently needed. The Commission proposals on the own resources are currently being examined by the Parliament. The own resources system should be equitable, transparent, cost-effective and simple. The current own resources system, as demonstrated by AB 5/2005, does not fulfil any of these criteria.
