- En erklæring fra Rådet og Parlamentet om proceduren for vedta-

gelsen af retsakter for en række budgetlinier under primært

Kommissionens administrative budget (A30-linier) vedrørende

tilskud til særlige institutioner.

- En erklæring fra Rådet, Parlamentet og Kommissionen om pro-

ceduren for vedtagelsen af budget 2004, der slår fast, at Rådet og

Parlamentet sigter efter at indgå en samlet politisk aftale om bud-

gettet for EU-25. Rådet og Parlamentet vil af juridiske årsager

dog kun vedtage budgettet for EU-15 inden for budget-2004-

proceduren, som afsluttes med Parlamentets 2. læsning i decem-

ber 2003. Budgettet for de 10 tiltrædelseslande vil formelt blive

vedtaget i marts/april 2004 som et tillægs- og ændringsbudget til

2004-budgettet.

Såvel erklæringer fra samrådet som resultatet af Rådets 1. læsning af budget-2004 blev formelt vedtaget i

skriftlige procedure den 18. juli.

Written procedure concerning the establishment of the

draft budget of the European Union for 2004 and the

approval of transfer n°18/2003

MESSAGE:

In order to have a formal adoption of the outcome of the ECOFIN

Council (Budget) of 16 July 2003, a written procedure was agreed.

Accordingly, please indicate whether:

you can agree on:

the confirmation of the outcome of proceedings of the

Permanent Representatives Committee as recorded in docu-

ments 11241/03 + ADD 1 and 11242/03 + COR 1 (fr) +

ADD 1;

the consequent establishment of the draft budget for 2004

for EU-15 while agreeing politically a position on EU-25;

giving a mandate to the Presidency, assisted by the Gen-

eral Secretariat of the Council, to establish budget documents

and forward them to the European Parliament in accordance

with the foreseen timetable;

entering into the Council’s minutes the declarations re-

corded in the Annex to documents 11241/03 and 11242/03

and the following declarations:

"The European Parliament and the Coun-

cil ask the Commission to submit in the

autumn an updated assessment of the re-

quirements for appropriations incorpo-

rating the results of the revision of

the common agricultural policy and to

take account of those requirements in

its letter of amendment."

"The European Parliament and the Coun-

cil take note that the Commission com-

mits itself to working closely with

Parliament’s rapporteur for the 2004

budget to identify possible concrete

measures that could be envisaged to im-

plement Parliament’s priorities for the

2004 budget in the field of agricul-

ture.

In any case, the Commission will report

in the context of the usual Amending

Letter in the autumn how these priori-

ties have been responded to."

"The Council agrees on a rigorous ap-

proach for Heading 5 and confirms that

the necessary appropriations and posts

for making enlargement a success should

be provided in 2004 Budget. The final

result must be a margin very close to

the one resulting from the Council's

first reading. It considers, neverthe-

less, that the accession of ten new

Member States should be used as an op-

portunity to make supplementary efforts

in the organisational structures and

management of the Institutions with a

view to increasing efficiency. The

third report of the Secretaries-General

on the evolution of Heading 5 should be

examined by both arms of the Budgetary

Authority at the November trialogue

with a view to promoting this process."

"The European Parliament and the Coun-

cil agree on the following procedure to

adapt the reference amounts included in

the basic acts of Community programmes

decided under the co-decision procedure

within the limits of the ceiling re-

sulting from adjustment and revision of

the Financial Perspective:

Parliament and Council will

endeavour to reach a political

agreement on the amounts which

should be added, following

enlargement, to the reference

amounts, at the latest on

24 November;

they will then invite the

Commission to present the

appropriate legislative

proposal(s);

the European Parliament and the

Council will thus endeavour to

adopt the legislative act(s), under

the co-decision procedure, in time

for the possible application of the

adapted amount as from the date of

entry into force of the Accession

Treaty."

(Legal bases - ex-chapter A30) "The

European Parliament and the Council

will attempt to finalise their respec-

tive positions in the relevant legisla-

tive procedures before the end of No-

vember 2003, and to keep each other and

the Commission informed of the progress

of these works.

The three institutions agree to convene

a trialogue before the Council's second

reading of the budget, with the objec-

tive to reach a common approach and, if

possible, to finally adopt the legal

bases before the end of the year 2003."

"The European Parliament, the Council

and the Commission:

Committed to taking all necessary

steps to make enlargement a success,

in particular to ensure that the

budgetary appropriations necessary

for the enlarged Union are available

as from 1 May 2004 without discrimi-

nation between Member States;

PDF to HTML - Convert PDF files to HTML files

Acknowledging that the financial

framework legally in force is the Fi-

nancial Perspective after adaptation

following enlargement and revision on

19 May 2003;

agree that the amounts entered in

budget documents for the current 15

Member States (EU-15) and those for the

enlarged Union (EU-25) are both part of

the budgetary procedure:

The amounts for EU-15 shall be

entered in Budget 2004 as published

in January 2004;

The amounts for EU-25 will be part

of the political agreement to be

reached in December 2003, and shall

be entered in Budget 2004 after

adoption of the Amending Budget

provided in the Treaty of

Accession, Article 28.

The Commission proposed EU-25 amounts

in PDB 2004, while including for each

budget line the proposed amount for EU-

15.

The Council will formally enter in

DB 2004 amounts for EU-15, while agree-

ing politically on its first Reading

position on figures for EU-25.

The Parliament, in its first Reading,

will amend DB 2004, resulting in ex-

plicit figures for both EU-25 and EU-

15.

In the conciliation procedure between

the first Reading of the Parliament and

the second Reading of the Council, as

provided in the Inter-institutional

Agreement of 6 May 1999, both arms of

the budgetary authority should reach an

agreement on amounts for EU-15 and for

EU-25, enabling the European Parliament

to subsequently adopt on that basis

Budget 2004 with figures for EU-15 and

so enable the Commission to prepare a

Preliminary Draft Amending Budget in

the first quarter of 2004 for the budg-

eting of the amounts for EU-25, to be

adopted by the budgetary authority in

time to enter into force on 1 May 2004.

Therefore, both institutions are com-

mitted to publishing, within each of

their readings, a table showing the

amounts for EU-15 and for EU-25 for

each budget line, on the model of An-

nex 1 to Volume 4, Book 2 of PDB 2004.

In addition, they will ensure a techni-

cal co-operation between their services

so as to facilitate the work of each

institution."

you can agree on transfer of appropriations n°18/2003 as recorded

in doc. SEC(2003) 784 final

Please answer YES, NO or ABSTENTION to each of these questions.

Any unilateral statements must be made separately.
