"The aim of draft amending budget No 3/2012 is to incorporate the surplus from the 2011 budget into the budget. The budget surplus from the 2011 financial year amounted to EUR 1 496 968 014 (not including contributions from the European Free Trade Association or the European Economic Area), which is entered as budget revenue for 2012. The inclusion of the surplus in the budget diminishes by the same amount the global contribution of Member States to the EU budget. All available indicators point this year to a shortage in payments in many areas of EU intervention, mainly because the Budgetary Authority once more agreed on a lower level of payments for 2012 compared to the level proposed by the Commission. Moreover, the Council unilaterally decided to lower by more than two thirds the level of the EUR 485 million transfer to the research area, despite the urgent needs for payments. Accordingly, payment appropriations of more than EUR 338 million are left on budget lines where they cannot be spent. In my opinion, however, since the under-implementation on the expenditure side did not result from absorption difficulties or mismanagement by the Commission, but from the rules in force for adjusting the repartition of payments in line with the needs in the last weeks of the financial year, this amount should legitimately go back to the EU budget, as some carry-over of unspent appropriations."@en1
