Exchange of views with the Budget committee of the Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada)
The BUDG committee will hold a joint committee meeting with the Committee on Budgets of the Verkhovna
Rada, with Rada members participating remotely. The dialogue, aimed at discussing issues of joint interest
and strengthening cooperation between the two committees, was launched in the previous term following
Russia’s war of aggression. The meeting will focus on budgetary matters. In particular, it will discuss Ukraine’s
economic and budgetary outlook for 2025 and its financing needs. Other issues include Parliament’s recent
approval of a Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism and a new macro-financial assistance loan of up to EUR
35 billion, to be repaid from future revenues from frozen Russian state assets. The new loan comes on top of
the funding already provided through the Ukraine Facility set up earlier this year (EUR 50 billion in grants,
loans and budgetary guarantees, out of which EUR 12 billion have been disbursed so far).

Mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) to
provide assistance to Germany and Italy relating to floods
occured in 2024
Rapporteur:
Giuseppe Lupo (S&D)
This proposal is to mobilise the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF)
for natural disasters occurred in 2024 for an amount of EUR 116 million
of which respectively:
 Germany (Southern Germany) – floods that occurred in May
2024: total amount of EUR 112,1 million;
 Italy (Valle d‘Aosta) – floods that occurred in June 2024: total
amount of EUR 4 million.

The EUSF provides financial support to Member States and accession
countries to deal with natural disasters and, since April 2020, public
health emergencies. The proposal for decision for mobilisation of the
EUSF requires the approval by the EP accompanied by a resolution.
Germany and Italy did not request an advance payment. The payment
of EUR 116 million necessitates a transfer from the European Solidarity
Reserve line to the EUSF operational budget line, both in commitments
and payments. The transfer is proposed in DEC No 14/2024 that
accompanies the mobilisation decision and needs to be approved by
BUDG within six weeks.

preparatory work ahead of the Commission’s proposals on the post2027 Multiannual Financial Framework, due by the end of June 2025. As
part of its preparations, the committee will hold a series of exchanges
of views with key stakeholders.
The President of the European Court of Auditors, Tony Murphy, as well
as ECA Members Ivana Maletić and Jan Gregor will share some lessons
learned from the current MFF and in particular with respect to the RRF

Exchange of views with EIB President Nadia Calviño on the
Multiannual Financial Framework post-2027
The Committee on Budgets has initiated preparatory work, led by corapporteurs Siegfried Mureşan (EPP) and Carla Tavares (S&D), in
anticipation of the European Commission’s proposal for the post-2027
Multiannual Financial Framework, which is expected by the end of June
2025. The committee plans to conduct a series of consultations with key
stakeholders as part of this preparation process.
The President of the European Investment Bank, Nadia Calviño, will
engage in a dialogue with Members to discuss the insights gained in the
current Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) regarding the effective
leveraging of EU funds and enhancing public-private partnerships to
optimize the impact of the EU budget, with an outlook towards the next
Amendment of the EIB’s Statute
On 11 September, the Council transmitted an amendment of the EIB
statute to the Parliament for consultation, with the request to receive
Parliament’s input no later than 24-28 November 2024.
The amendment, which is based on an EIB request, concerns the
gearing ratio of the EIB, i.e. the aggregate amount of loans and
guarantees granted by the Bank outstanding at any time as a share of
its subscribed capital, reserves, non-allocated provisions and profit and
loss account surplus. In line with a recommendation of the Independent
Review of Multilateral Development Banks’ (MDBs’) Capital Adequacy
Frameworks (CAF) report, released by the G20 in 2022, it is proposed
to relocate the maximum gearing ratio from the EIB statute to the
Bank’s capital adequacy framework. Consequently, the maximum
gearing ratio in the Statute (currently 250%) should be replaced by an
unanimous decision of the Board of Governors.

exceptionally apply the simplified procedure in accordance with Rule
52(2) RoP and to hold an exchange of views with the EIB President on
the substance of the amendment before the vote in committee. In
accordance with Rule 52(2) RoP, deadline for amendments was opened
without a draft report first being drawn up. No amendments were tabled within the deadline for
amendments. The draft report of the rapporteur therefore proposes to approve the proposed amendment
without changes.

Draft amending budget no 5 to the general budget 2024:
Adjustment in payment appropriations, update of revenues
and other technical updates
The rapporteur will present his draft report on Draft Amending Budget
5/2024, put forward by the Commission on 10 October 2024. DAB 5/25
updates both the revenue and expenditure sides of the 2024 budget,
with a net increase of EUR 44.5 million in commitment appropriations
and of EUR 2.95 billion in payment appropriations, the latter driven
mainly by increased payment needs in the European Regional
Development Fund following changes in the rules introduced by the
Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform. The bulk of additional
payment needs are covered by revenue from fines and penalties, in
particular the recent fine imposed on Google for antitrust violations,
while additional expenditure in headings 2b, 5 and 7 require the use of
the Flexibility Instrument (EUR 7.2 million) and the Single Margin
Instrument (EUR 68.5 million).

– AMLA – EIOPA (early warning)
The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA)
and the Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the
Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) have informed the Committee on
Budgets of their intention to launch a joint market prospection for
sharing a building in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

AMLA was legally established on 26 June 2024 and expects to
approximately 450 staff members by 2028, with a gradual ramp-up
starting in 2025. As decided by the European Parliament and Council
after a joint selection process the Authority will have its seat in
Frankfurt. EIOPA which is already headquartered in Frankfurt, has the
lease for its current premises expiring in mid-2028. EIOPA assumes that by 2028 it will need to accommodate
approximately 250 staff (including its own employees, interim workers, external service provider personnel
and trainees).
AMLA and EIOPA inform the budgetary authority of their objective of sharing a building, and to work jointly
on the building project to harness operational synergies, cost efficiencies and enhance cooperation.

installations”. The aim is to ensure operational continuity in relation to
Bogdan Rzońca (ECR)
meeting room conference installations to guarantee the regular flow of
Fabienne Keller (Renew)
multilingualism and parliamentary work. The constituent projects relate
Rasmus Nordqvist (Greens/
to (1) replacement of obsolete microphones and language distribution
systems in SPINELLI, (2) replacement of equipment in the Central Room

Alexander Jungbluth (ESN)
installation of fibre optic in each conference room, (3) upgrade of
conference room IP networks, and cybersecurity capabilities in all three
places of work, (4) equipment to enable remote interpretation and
remote participation to mitigate the expected loss of meeting and
interpretation capacity during the SPAAK renovation.
This transfer is made possible due to availability of appropriations in item 4020 “Funding of European political
parties”.
– EP: C8/2024
from the annual update of salaries and remunerations (item 1200 “Remuneration and allowances” EUR
(item 1202 “Paid overtime” EUR 5 000).
This transfer is made possible due to availability of appropriations under chapter 101 “Contingency reserve”
– ECA: V/INF-04/T/24
It reinforces item 2007 “Fitting-out of premises” by EUR 850 000, out of which EUR 650 000 for the
replacement of four out of the five elevators in K1 and the freight elevator due to their obsolescence, and
EUR 200 000 for the replacement of the old tank with a dry transformer to address a non-compliance issue
mentioned in the external EMAS report.
This reinforcement is made possible due to savings on item 1200 “Remuneration and allowances” based on
remuneration and allowances’ projections until the end of the year.
– ECA: V/INF-05/T/24
It reinforces item 2010 “Purchase, servicing and maintenance of equipment and software” by EUR 515 000,
for the acquisition of firewalls, copper ports and access switches, a 12 months subscription for the tool
NetAPP Cloud Insight, the acquisition of specific computing resources for Data-science and IA related
activities that would further improve the ECA DATA team’s support provided to ECA’s audits.
This reinforcement is made possible due to savings on several budget lines, EUR 400 000 from item 1400
“Remuneration and allowances” due to the high turnover of agents, EUR 15 000 on item 2380 “Other
administrative expenditure”, and EUR 100 000 on item 2700 “Limited consultations, studies, surveys” due to
fewer than planned experts being used.
– ECA: V/INF-06/T/24
It reinforces item 2140 “Technical equipment and installations” by EUR 250 000, to cover the second phase
of the renewal of the ECA conference room.
This reinforcement is made possible due to savings on two budget lines, EUR 200 000 from item 1000
“Remuneration and allowances” due to the vacancy of one Member position, and EUR 50 000 from item 1612
“Further training for staff” due to the annual training programme with Université de Lorraine not being
organised in 2024.

projects” by EUR 100 000 for actions provided for in the new ECA Disability roadmap to modernise the
signage, and to make the ECA buildings more accessible for everyone, including people with disabilities, and
item 2120 “Furniture” by EUR 50 000 due to an increase demand for ergonomic furniture.
These reinforcements for a total amount of EUR 150 000 are made possible due to savings on item 2741
“Publications of a general nature” due the reorganisation of tasks in the publication production process of
the Language and Editorial Directorate.
– ECA: V/INF-08/C/24
It reinforces item 2102 “External services for the operation, implementation and maintenance of software
and systems” by EUR 120 000 for IT workplace security and to implement security measures (patching,
vulnerability protection and NIS2 directive) and to cover new projects (Windows, Microsoft Defender and
Sharepoint migrations).
This reinforcement is made possible due to savings on item 2700 “Limited consultations, studies, surveys”
due to fewer than planned experts being used.
– ECA: V/INF-09/C/24
It reinforces item 2022 “Cleaning and maintenance” by EUR 67 000 to cover the contractual obligations until
the end of the year following building inspections, as well as additional expenditure related to building
maintenance and repairs expected in November and December 2024.
This reinforcement is made possible due to savings on item 2160 “Vehicles” due to expenditure on car leasing
contracts being less than planned mainly due (i) to a lower number of kilometres driven and consequently
(ii) also to a reduced fuel consumption.
– ECA: V/INF-10/C/24
It reinforces item 1652 “Restaurant and canteens” by EUR 65 000 to cover the replacement of technical
equipment, such as commercial dishwasher, cooking equipment for catering purposes approaching its end
of life. The acquisition of an energy management and performance optimisation system aims at increasing
energy efficiency and reducing electricity costs in the long term.

Members being entitled to that allowance than expected.
– ECA: V/INF-11/A/24
It reinforces item 2300 “Stationery, office supplies and miscellaneous expenditure ” by EUR 5 000 to extend
the existing contract and ensure the supply of stationery equipment.
This reinforcement is made possible due to savings on item 2380 “Other administrative expenditure” due to
savings on uniform and work clothes.
– EESC: INF6/2024
It reinforces item 2102 “Outside assistance for the operation, development and maintenance of software
systems” by EUR 281 411, to finance 3 IT projects as follow: (1) an application to manage translation requests
has been redeveloped using modern technology, (2) a dynamic event management project as a first step in
the modernisation of the Members Portal using a new technology base, and (3) a project management
reinforcement project to address the issue of the shortage of staff with a Project Manager profile which inturn creates bottlenecks in delivering projects.
This reinforcement is made possible due to savings on item 2548 “Interpreting” due to lower-than-expected
EESC activity due to the political cycle (European elections), as well as the decision to limit the duration of
plenary sessions to two instead of three slots.
– EESC: INF7/2024
It reinforces item 2007 “Fitting-out of premises” by EUR 33 200, due to cost increases in the final phase of
the construction of the audio-visual studio, including costs related to the studios’ acoustic performance. The
Communication Space for the EESC and the Committee of the Regions is a jointly built and funded project.
This reinforcement is made possible due to savings from item 1404 “Remuneration and allowances” as the
budget for Seconded National Experts’ (SNE) contracts not being utilised as fully as forecasted due to delays
in recruitment.
8|Page
– EESC: INF8/2024
It reinforces item 214 “Technical equipment and installations” by EUR 60 000. EUR 40 000 is needed to ensure
sufficient financial coverage for rental of technical equipment and services for EESC meetings organised
outside Brussels until the end of the year. The deficit is explained by a 20% cut to the yearly budget initially
requested, coupled with ever increasing costs and a very high number of service requests. EUR 20 000 is
needed to equip two internal meeting rooms used for hybrid meetings with tabletop microphones and sound
reinforcement systems required to enhance the intelligibility of sound and improve the user experience.
This reinforcement is made possible due to savings on two budget lines, EUR 10 000 from item 2000 “Rent”
due to both of the EESC’s annual extraordinary Bureau meetings being held abroad (Budapest and Warsaw)
and venue rental offered free of charge by the local partners, and EUR 50 000 from item 231 “Legal costs and
damages” due to legal expenses being less than foreseen.
– EESC: INF9/2024
It reinforces three budget lines by EUR 102 533. Item 2600 “Communication” by EUR 39 508 in order to hire
external services through an existing framework contract for project management in the VIP Events sector,
and to support the organisation of two major events (YEYS 2025 and Open Day 2025) the organisation of
which needs to start in 2024. Item 2602 “Publishing and promotion of publications” by EUR 36 000 to enhance
cybersecurity, in response to the repeated cyber-attacks on EESC websites over the past 12 months. Item
2622 “Documentation and information resources” by EUR 27 045 to finance the renewal of subscriptions for
2 databases in the field of economics and political science, and 10 additional subscriptions to the Financial
Times.
These reinforcements are made possible due to corresponding savings on three budget lines. EUR 72 000
from item 1420 “Supplementary services for the translation service and translation and outsourcing-related
tools” due to lower than expected translation demand. EUR 20 000 from item 2544 “Costs of organising the
work of the Consultative Commission on Industrial Change (CCMI)” due to lower than expected expenses
during the main conference of the year. EUR 10 553 from item 2548 “Interpreting” due to lower than expected
EESC activity due to the political cycle (European elections), as well as the decision to limit the duration of
plenary sessions to two instead of three slots.
