1. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

By 15 June 2016 implementation of payment appropriations amounted to

EUR 66,9 billion (47,6 % of available appropriations), below the corresponding

level of June 2015 (61,8% of available appropriations implemented). The slower

pace of implementation results mostly from delayed direct aid payments in

agriculture as well as lower level of submission of Member States' payment claims

under the previous programming period in cohesion policy. Excluding the non-

differentiated appropriations of the European Agriculture Guarantee Fund and

heading 5, implementation is at 43,2%, slightly ahead of the forecasts of 42,5%.

After several years of constrained payment appropriations, in 2016, the Commission

expects the available payment appropriations to be more than sufficient to cover

needs. In particular, slower pace of submissions of Member States' payment

applications for both previous and current programming periods in heading 1b

Economic, social and territorial cohesion, is very likely to result in a surplus. After

receiving the updated forecasts from Member States at the end of July, the

Commission will be in a better position to estimate the size of such a surplus.

Although the implementation rate in heading 1a Competitiveness for Growth and

Jobs is ahead compared to the forecast and to the previous year, by the end of the

year a surplus of payment appropriations could also appear.

In heading 2, the delay in the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund payments (first

pillar of the Common Agricultural Policy) is worrying, especially if this delay is not

absorbed by the deadline (15 October) for EAGF declarations. The Commission is

monitoring the situation very closely in cooperation with the Member States

concerned.

In the period between January and June 2016, EUR 8,6 billion was paid on invoices

received in previous years, compared to EUR 20,4 billion a year earlier. Heading 1b

continues to account for a great majority of such payments though its share is

declining (62% in 2016, 85% in 2015). This decrease is to a large extent explained

by the sharp decrease of the backlog at the end of 2015 in comparison with the

backlog at the end of 2014.

A steep decrease in payments on previous years' invoices along with considerably

diminished interests on late payments (EUR 0,5 million at this point of the year,

compared to almost EUR 2 million a year earlier) points to a clear improvement of

the situation of payment appropriations, in line with the 'payment plan' agreed by the

European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.

2. INTRODUCTION

This report on the Active Monitoring and Forecast of Budget Implementation is the

third of its kind (after 2015 Summer and Autumn reports), and is a further follow up

to the "Joint statement on a payment plan 2015-2016" agreed by the European

Parliament, the Council and the Commission on 19 May 2015.

It compares the actual implementation of payment appropriations on 15 June 2016

to the forecasts prepared in March as well as implementation of the same point of

last year. The report analyses also the main programme deviations between

implementation and forecasts as well as last year's implementation.

As it is the first report for 2016 produced after the provisional closure of the

accounts for 2015, the following section 3 analyses the level of 2016 payments on

invoices received in 2015 and before. This is a good indicator allowing an

evaluation of the backlog at the end of 2015 and the speed of payments on this

backlog.

Section 4 gives the latest figures on the late payments interests.

Finally, numerical annexes provide a full picture (at programme level) of the state of

implementation in comparison with the forecasts and the implementation of last

year, as well as of the 2016 pace of payment of invoices, unpaid at the end of 2015.

3. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BUDGET 2016

3.1. Implementation at 15 June 2016

This section compares the implementation on 15 June with the monthly forecasts,

and with the level of implementation at the same point in 2015.

The analysis focuses on payment appropriations by heading. Furthermore, for those

programmes having a significant impact on the budget1, it provides more detailed

analysis, when the implementation on 15 June deviates from the implementation

forecast by more than 15 percentage points or by 15 percentage points compared to

implementation at the same time in 2015.

The following table shows the implementation by heading on 15 June, the forecast

for the same date, and the implementation a year earlier.

On 15 June 2016, the implementation of payment appropriations reached

EUR 66,9 billion (47,6% of available appropriations).

Excluding the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and administrative

expenditure (heading 5), which are non-differentiated appropriations, the

implementation was EUR 40,0 billion (43,2% of available appropriations). This

level of implementation is EUR 644 million ahead of the forecast.

In comparison with the implementation at the same time in 2015, implementation on

15 June 2016 is significantly lower in both absolute (EUR 18,8 billion) and relative

terms (14,2 percentage points). This gap can be attributed mostly to the lower direct

aid payments in agriculture at this point of the year due to delays resulting from

implementation of some important elements of the Common Agriculture Policy

reform.

It is already clear by this stage of the year that the full implementation will not be

reached for all headings. A surplus of payment appropriations is expected in

particular in heading 1.

1 Defined as the programmes having at least EUR 200 million of payment appropriations in 2016.

At the level of headings, the table provides the following information:

For sub-heading 1a (Competitiveness for growth and jobs), implementation is

higher in both absolute (over EUR 1 billion) and relative (1,6 percentage points)

than in 2015. It is also significantly ahead of the forecasts (almost

EUR 580 million). Notwithstanding the high current implementation, heading 1a

could have more appropriations than existing needs in 2016, but this needs to be

confirmed during the second budget forecast exercise (in August).

For sub-heading 1b (Economic, Social and Territorial Cohesion), the

implementation is lower in both absolute and percentage terms than in 2015 (the

budget in 2016 is also lower than in 2015). This can be explained by a rising

number of 2007-2013 programmes reaching the 95% payment ceilings (the

remaining 5% will only be paid out at closure). The lower payments to Member

States for 2007-2013 programmes are not offset by payment claims linked to the

2014-2020 programmes. The implementation is in turn slightly higher than the

forecast (over EUR 400 million). The Commission is closely monitoring the pace

of submission of Member States’ payment applications in 2016 and will analyse

the results of the updated Member States’ forecast (due by 31 July 2016) in order

to provide an estimate of the possible surplus of payment appropriations.

Heading 2 (Sustainable growth: Natural Resources, EAGF) implementation is

clearly much below its level in 2015, which can be explained by delays in the

implementation of the new direct payment schemes in agriculture in its first year

after the CAP reform under the MFF 2014-2020. Other programmes in heading 2

than the EAGF (mostly rural development) show a significantly lower

implementation in 2016 than in 2015 in both absolute (almost EUR 1 664

million) and percentage terms (13,5 percentage points). This is the result of the

lower payments for rural development 2007-2013 programmes. The

implementation of these "other" programmes is very much in line with the

forecasts.

Whereas implementation in heading 3 (Security and Citizenship) in absolute

terms is over twice as high as in 2015 (almost 10 percentage points), it is also

slightly below the forecasts (EUR 127 million).

For heading 4 (Global Europe), implementation is higher in comparison with

2015 in absolute terms (EUR 884 million), though lower in terms of percentage

(3,2 percentage points). In addition, it is also EUR 269 million lower than the

forecasts. Some appropriations forecasted to be unused within European

Neighbourhood Instrument and Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance will be

absorbed by other programmes of the heading.

3.2. Implementation forecasts 2016

The following graph shows the expected evolution of payments according to the

forecasts.

6

All the headings except heading 2 without EAGF have a similar forecasted pace of

payment implementation, with payments quite evenly distributed between June and

November, and with some significant payments to be made in December (up to 18%

of all appropriations for heading 1b). As for heading 2 without EAGF, there is a

concentration of payments between July and August and then at the end of the year,

which is linked to the specific pattern of the EAFRD (rural development). As shown

in the above graph a certain under-implementation of payment appropriations is

expected in heading 1a and 1b.

3.3. Programmes with significant deviation from forecasts or

implementation of last year

This section identifies 10 programmes having a significant impact on the budget

(i.e. programmes with budgeted appropriations of at least EUR 200 million) for

which the difference with the implementation forecasts or 2015 implementation at

the same date is larger than 15 percentage points. The very different situation of

2015 and 2016 (especially in terms of pre-financing paid after the adoption of the

programmes) must be taken into account when comparing the implementation of the

two years in absolute amounts. Annex 1 gives reference information for all the

programmes.

Under the main EFSI line 'Provisioning of the EFSI guarantee fund' payment orders

have already been made (leading to a full implementation of payments on this line),

distributed on different dates of execution (throughout the months April, May, June

and July) to allow for proper management of the assets.

475,2 323,9 68,2% 154,9 32,6% 163,9 41,2%

The high implementation compared to forecasts and implementation of the previous

year is mostly a result of an earlier than expected need of using all the

appropriations for 'Completion of the European Joint Undertaking for ITER - Fusion

for Energy' in 2016. ITER is expected to have a surplus of payment appropriations at

the end of the year. The need for payment appropriations was reduced after

EUR 27,2 million of assigned revenues was received at the end of 2015.

584,4 249,7 42,7% 260,3 44,5% 18,1 3,6%

The much higher level of implementation in 2016 relates to the start-up phase of the

programme and the pre-financing paid in 2014 after signature of the new delegation

agreements that covered a large part of the needs for the first semester of 2015. In

2016, the programme is being implemented at normal speed:

Regarding the Copernicus infrastructure (02 06 02), at this time of the year the

Commission has made the first payments to the European Space Agency (ESA)

and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites

(EUMETSAT). The amount paid in 2016 is much higher than in 2015 as during

the first six months of this year the Commission paid essentially the full amount

due to EUMETSAT. For ESA, the pre-financing provided at the end of 2014

(EUR 200 million) was sufficient to cover their needs for the first semester of

2015.

Regarding the Copernicus services (02 06 01), payments made in 2016 include

those for The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF),

Mercator Ocean and FRONTEX. In 2015, the payment to FRONTEX could be

made only later during the year, pending the signature of the delegation

agreement. Regarding ECMWF and Mercator Ocean, since these agreements

were signed late in 2014, the pre-financing payments of 2014 covered a large part

of the start of their activities, which explains why the first payments in 2015 were

lower compared to 2016.

The difference in the pattern of implementation in 2016 and 2015 is linked to the

pace of submission of payment applications by Member States for the period 2007-

2013 as well as the increasing number of operational programmes reaching the 95%

threshold this year.

The difference in the pattern of implementation in 2016 and 2015 is linked to the

faster pace of submission of payment applications by Member States for the period

2007-2013. Payments are already reaching and in some cases exceeding forecast

especially for Member States lagging previously behind and catching up compared

with the EU average.

1 050,0 203,6 19,4% 425,9 40,6% 918,9 88,8%

The high level of Youth Employment Initiative implementation last year can be

explained by the additional initial pre-financing paid to Member States following

the amendment of the ESF Regulation end of May 2015 (779/2015). In total

EUR 930 million additional pre-financing was paid out. Nearly all this amount had

been paid by mid-June 2015 (there were no interim payments in the first half of

2015, so the pre-financing constituted the whole amount paid until 15 June in 2015).

The variation between the implementation and the forecast derives from the fact that

some Member States were not in a position by 23 May to submit sufficient payment

applications to avoid returning the increased pre-financing.

42 635,7 24 511,4 57,5%

39 690,8 89,5%

Lower direct payments in agriculture at this point of the year are due to delays in the

implementation of the new direct payment schemes in agriculture in their first year

after the CAP reform under the MFF 2014-2020. While the bulk of EAGF

appropriations entered into the EU budget is normally used at the beginning of the

year to reimburse Member States for direct payments paid to farmers, many

Member States have declared expenditure at a slower rhythm than usual and some

others have still to declare significant amounts. This implementation gap is expected

to gradually decrease until 15 October, which is the end date for declarations as

regards EAGF measures under shared management.

The higher execution compared to last year comes mainly from the EMFF shared

management budget line (11 06 60). According to the Common Provisions

Regulation, as of 2016, the Commission has to pay annual pre-financing to Member

States before June of the year N. This pre-financing amounted to EUR 108 million

in 2016. This coupled with the fact that the initial pre-financing in 2015 was paid

after the adoption of the operational programmes, i.e. mainly in the second half of

the year explains the difference in implementation.

The higher implementation in 2016 is explained by the fact that certain

humanitarian crises (e.g. Syria) required a stronger response through contracting

during the first months of 2016. Since the pre-financing is 80%, this has a

considerable direct impact at the level of the payment appropriations. In addition,

several outstanding pre-financing were paid during the period under analysis. These

outstanding pre-financing are related to the measures put in place in 2014 and 2015

as consequence of the shortage of payment appropriations.

4. PAYMENTS ON PREVIOUS YEARS' INVOICES

4.1. Methodology

This section analyses the figures for payment claims that arrived by 31 December of

the previous year, but were not paid in the same year for reasons such as:

1. Interruptions/ suspensions

2. Arrival of the claim too late in the year to be paid (before the payment is

made, some necessary checks have to be done by the Commission e.g.

general validity, deducting part of the invoice already covered by the pre-

financing etc)

3. Lack of payment appropriations.

Most of the payments of invoices coming from the previous year constitute the so-

called normal backlog of unpaid claims (points 1 and 2 above).

Since the payment claims are not necessarily linked to budget lines when they are

received by the services and recorded in the IT system (because of a lack of

reference to the commitment on the invoice, or because an invoice may be related to

multiple commitments, etc.) it is difficult to have a reliable estimate of the backlog

per programme based on the recording of the received invoices in the IT system.

That is why, for this report, the Commission has decided to approach the issue from

the side of executed (or due) payments made in the first months of the year on

invoices received in previous years. These payments are mandatorily linked to

budget lines, thus making it possible to quantify by budget lines or programmes the

level of payments made in a given year on invoices coming from the previous year;

this means the payable backlog at the end of the previous year (the backlog not

being subject to interruption or suspension).

4.2. 2016 payments on invoices received in 2015

This analysis allows estimating the level of payable backlog at the end of 2015 by

heading, programme or budget line.

The following table shows the situation per heading.

11

The analysis of the table can be made along 2 axes:

The total amount paid in the 6 first months.

The pattern of payment during the 6 first months.

As it can be seen from the table, the level of payments made in June 2016 on

invoices received in 2015 is very low which confirms that the total amount of

payments made from January 2016 to June 2016 represents most of the payable

backlog at the end of 2015, this means the invoices or the payment claims that are

not suspended or interrupted. The comparison of the backlog of 2014 paid by the

end of June 2015 in comparison with the whole amounts paid in 2015 on invoices

received in 2014 confirms this analysis.

If the situation of 2016 is compared to the situation of 2015, the table also clearly

confirms that the level of payable backlog was much higher in heading 1b at the end

of 2014 than at the end of 2015. The situation was the opposite in heading 2 where

the rural development experienced a backlog because of a lack of payment

appropriations for the first time at the end of 2015.

For headings 3 and 4, the payable backlog seems more or less stable and the

analysis by programme (see annex II) confirms this stability. The ratio of the

backlog to the level of appropriations in heading 4 – 0.14 (e.g. for heading 1a it is

0,08) is high demonstrating late arrival of the payment claims and a difficulty with

the low level of payment appropriations in 2014 and 2015.

For heading 1a, the end-2014 payable backlog was higher and the analysis by

programme shows the difference being related to Horizon 2020, CEF-transport and

the European Economic Recovery Plan (EERP). This difference can be interpreted

as demonstrating strong difficulties with the level of payment appropriations in

2014 and a situation being easier to manage at the end of 2015.

The analysis of payments month by month confirms rapid payments in the first

months of the year for heading 2, 3 and 4 and a slightly longer delay for heading 1a

and 1b. The profile of payments in heading 1b confirms that there have not been

problems of cash-flow in the first months of 2016.

4.3. 2016 payments on invoices received before 2015

In 2016 there have also been payments on invoices received before 2015. This

analysis highlights payments on invoices dating 2014 or before which were

interrupted or suspended.

The following table shows the situation where payments on invoices of 2014 or

before and paid in 2016 are compared with payments in 2015 on invoices of 2013

and before.

2016 2015

As expected, the amounts here are much lower than payments on the previous year

invoices. Payments on these invoices correspond mostly to difficult cases which

were subject to protracted suspensions or interruptions. In 2015, most of these

payments (82%) occurred in the first 6 months of the year.

The global level of these payments is much lower in 2016 than the corresponding

level in 2015 as programmes are nearing closure. In both years, such payments are

mostly concentrated in heading 1b (over 93%).

5. LATE INTEREST PAYMENTS

The following table shows the late interests paid by June 2016 and June 2015.

Payments of late interests by the middle of June were almost 75% lower than by the

same point of 2015. Like in the previous years, heading 4 concentrates the highest

share of all the interests paid (almost 87% in 2016). Development Cooperation

Instrument alone is responsible for over EUR 350 000 of late interests.

A steep decrease in late interests in 2016 was expected as a result of a release of

pressure on payment appropriations to which the EU budget was subject to last

years. Significantly lower late interests paid along with decreased payments on

previous years invoices are indicative of an improvement of the situation of

payment appropriations at the end of 2015 and in 2016.
