Cohesion for growth
and employment
Every household in the
French region of Auvergne
now has access to high-
speed broadband thanks
to a project co-nanced by
the ERDF.
In order to face public-
sector spending cuts,
the Raising teachers
project oered retraining
opportunities to some
22 000 educators
in Latvia between
2009 and 2012.
Winner of the RegioStars
Awards 2012, the
O4O (Older people for
older people) project
developed alternative
ways of providing support
and services for older
citizens from rural areas
of northern Europe by
mobilising the elderly to
help their peers.
Modernisation of the
sewerage network in Brno
(Czech Republic) continued.
The upgraded system will
reduce the amount of
pollution discharged into
local waterways and make
it possible to connect more
than 3 000 additional
inhabitants.

The year 2012 marked
the 50th anniversary of
the implementation of the
common agricultural policy,
a cornerstone of European
integration that has
provided European citizens
with 5 decades of secure
food supply and a living
countryside.
Thanks to a German
French project within the
framework of the EU LIFE +
programme, the allis shad
sh made a return to the
Rhine some 60 years afer
its disappearance.
The European Fisheries
Fund provides funding
to the shing industry
and coastal communities
to help them adapt to
changing conditions in the
sector as well as to become
economically resilient and
ecologically sustainable.
EU funding enabled the
transformation of a
damaged farm building
in the city of Midzychd
(Poland) into an
environmental education
centre attracting more than
8 000 visitors every year.

The Commission
proposed a set of
concrete and practical
measures to tackle
human tracking,
including prevention,
protection and support
of the victims, as well
as prosecution of the
trackers.
Extensive investigation by
Europol and several other
European law enforcement
authorities put an end to
an international organised
crime network responsible
for the large-scale
production and tracking
of synthetic drugs.
EU rules to ease cross-
border successions were
adopted, bringing legal
certainty to the estimated
450 000 European
families dealing with an
international succession
each year.
EU rules on gender-neutral
pricing in the insurance
industry entered into force.
Insurers in Europe will have
to charge the same prices
to women and men for the
same insurance products
without distinction on the
grounds of sex.

The EU
as a global player
The EU conrmed its status
as the biggest aid donor in
the world with assistance
provided to 122 million
people in over 90 non-
member countries in 2012.
The EU helped millions
in the Sahel facing
hunger, and humanitarian
assistance reached
hundreds of thousands
of Syrian refugees eeing
conict in their country
in 2012.
Through the European
humanitarian volunteer
programme, 25 young
people from around Europe
went to countries in Africa,
Asia or Central America to
be trained in preparation
for a career in aid work.
Public support for
humanitarian aid has
gone up in the EU in spite
of the economic crisis:
a Eurobarometer survey
showed that 88 % of
European citizens believe
it is important for the
EU to continue funding
humanitarian aid.

Glossary
Term Denition
ABAC This is the name given to the Commission's accounting system, which since 2005 has been based on accrual
accounting rules. The Commission produces accrual-based accounts which recognise revenue when earned, rather
than when collected. Expenses are recognised when incurred rather than when paid. This contrasts with cash basis
accounting that recognises transactions and other events only when cash is received or paid.
Accounting The act of recording and reporting nancial transactions, including the origination of the transaction, its recognition,
processing, and summarisation in the nancial statements.
Agencies EU bodies having a distinct legal personality, and to whom budget implementing powers may be delegated under
strict conditions. They are subject to a distinct discharge from the discharge authority.
Annuality The budgetary principle according to which expenditure and revenue is programmed and authorised for 1 year, starting
on 1 January and ending on 31 December.
Appropriations Budget funding. The budget forecasts both commitments (legal pledges to provide nance, provided that certain
conditions are fullled) and payments (cash or bank transfers to the beneciaries). Appropriations for commitments
and payments often dier dierentiated appropriations because multiannual programmes and projects are
usually committed in the year they are decided and are paid over the years as the implementation of the programme
and project progresses. Thus, if the EU budget increases, due for example to enlargement, commitments will increase
before payments do. Not all projects and programmes are concluded, and appropriations for payments are therefore
lower than for commitments. Non-dierentiated appropriations apply for administrative expenditure, for agricultural
market support and direct payments.
Budget Annual nancial plan, drawn up according to budgetary principles, that provides forecasts and authorises, for each
nancial year, an estimate of future costs and revenue and expenditures and their detailed description and justication,
the latter included in budgetary remarks. Amending budget: an instrument adopted during the budget year to amend
aspects of the adopted budget of that year.
Budgetary authority Institutions with decisional powers on budgetary matters: the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers
Cancellation of appropriations Appropriations cancelled may no longer be used in a given budget year.
Capping (of the VAT resource) The maximum VAT base to be taken into account in calculating the rate of call is set at 50 % of each Member States
GNI (capping of the VAT resource). For the period 200713 the rate of call of the VAT resource is set at 0.225 % for
Austria, 0.15 % for Germany and 0.10 % for the Netherlands and Sweden. According to Council Decision 2007/436 of
7 June 2007 on the system of the European Communities own resources (ORD 2007), the uniform rate of call of the VAT
own resource is xed at 0.30 % from 1 January 2007.
Carryover of appropriations Exception to the principle of annuality in so far as appropriations that could not be used in a given budget year may,
under very strict conditions, be exceptionally carried over for use during the following year.
Ceiling Limits of expenditure or revenue xed by law or by agreement, such as in the own resources decision or in the
multiannual nancial framework. The latter denes an annual ceiling for each expenditure heading in commitment
appropriations and an annual global ceiling for payment appropriations.
Common Customs Tarif The external tari applied to products imported into the Union.
Earmarked revenue Revenue earmarked for a specic purpose, such as income from foundations, subsidies, gifts and bequests, including
the earmarked revenue specic to each institution (Article 21 of the nancial regulation).
Ecofn The Economic and Financial Aairs Council is, together with the Agriculture Council and the General Aairs Council,
one of the oldest congurations of the Council. It is commonly known as the Econ Council, or simply Econ and is
composed of the economics and nance ministers of the Member States, as well as budget ministers when budgetary
issues are discussed. It meets once a month.

Evaluations Tools to provide a reliable and objective assessment of how ecient and eective interventions have been or are
expected to be (in the case of ex ante evaluation). Commission services assess to what extent they have reached their
policy objectives, and how they could improve their performance in the future.
Exchange diference The dierence resulting from the exchange rates applied to the transactions concerning countries outside the euro area
(euro area countries: BE DE EE EL ES FR IE IT CY LU MT NL AT PT SI SK FI).
Expenditure allocated EU expenditure that it is possible to allocate to individual Member States. Non-allocated expenditure concerns notably
expenditure paid to beneciaries in third countries. Allocation of expenditure by country is necessary in order to
calculate budgetary balances.
Financial regulation Adopted through the ordinary legislative procedure after consulting the European Court of Auditors, this regulation lays
down the rules for the establishment and implementation of the general budget of the European Union.
Grants Direct nancial contributions, by way of donation, from the budget in order to nance either an action intended to help
achieve an objective part of a EU policy or the functioning of a body which pursues an aim of general European interest
or has an objective forming part of an EU policy.
Gross domestic product (GDP)
at market prices
Final result of the production activity of resident producer units. It corresponds to the economys total output of goods
and services, less intermediate consumption, plus taxes less subsidies on products.
Gross national income (GNI) At market prices represents total primary income receivable by resident institutional units: compensation of employees,
taxes on production and imports less subsidies, property income (receivable less payable), operating surplus and mixed income.
Gross national income equals gross domestic product (GDP) (see above) minus primary income payable by resident
units to non-resident units plus primary income receivable by resident units from the rest of the world.
GNI has widely replaced gross national product (GNP) as an indicator of income. In the area of the EU budget this
change took eect as from the year 2002. In order to maintain unchanged the cash value of the ceiling of EU revenue,
referred to as the own resources ceiling, the ceiling had to be recalculated in percentage terms. It is now established at
1.23 % of GNI instead of the previous 1.27 % of EU GNP.
Headings In the multiannual nancial framework or nancial perspective are groups of EU activities in broad categories of
expenditure.
Impact assessment A tool to analyse the potential benets and costs of dierent policy options to tackle a particular problem.
Term Denition
Interinstitutional agreement (IIA) on budgetary discipline and sound nancial management: the IIA is adopted by common agreement of the European
Parliament, the Council and the Commission and contains the table of the nancial framework, as well as the rules to
implement it. As Treaty rules concerning the EU budget havent been modied since 1975 until the Lisbon Treaty entered into
force on 1 December 2009, the IIA has allowed for the necessary changes and improvements of the cooperation between
institutions on budgetary matters (OJ C 139 of 14.6.2006). The introduction of the multiannual nancial framework into the
Treaty via the Lisbon Treaty, and its link to the annual budgetary procedure, led among others to proposals for an adaptation of
the Interinstitutional Agreement. Corresponding proposals were made by the Commission on 29 June 2011.
Legal base The legal base or basis is, as a general rule, a law based on an article in the Treaty giving competence to the Community
for a specic policy area and setting out the conditions for fullling that competence including budget implementation.
Certain Treaty articles authorise the Commission to undertake certain actions, which imply spending, without there
being a further legal act.
Macroeconomic equilibrium The situation where there is no tendency for change. The economy can be in equilibrium at any level of economic
activity.
Macrofnancial assistance Form of nancial support to neighbouring regions, which is mobilised on a case-by-case basis with a view to helping
the beneciary countries in dealing with serious but generally short-term balance-of-payments or budget diculties.
It takes the form of medium-/long-term loans or grants (or an appropriate combination thereof ) and generally
complements nancing provided in the context of an International Monetary Funds reform programme.
Operating balances The dierence between what a country receives from and pays into the EU budget. There are many possible methods
of calculating budgetary balances. In its Financial report, the Commission uses a method based on the same principles
as the calculation of the correction of budgetary imbalances granted to the United Kingdom (the UK correction). It is,
however, important to point out that constructing estimates of budgetary balances is merely an accounting exercise
of the purely nancial costs and benets that each Member State derives from the Union and it gives no indication
of many of the other benets gained from EU policies such as those relating to the internal market and economic
integration, not to mention political stability and security.
Outturn Any of the three possible outcomes of the budget resulting from the dierence between revenue and expenditure: a
positive dierence (surplus), a negative dierence (decit) and no dierence (i.e. zero, or perfect balance between
revenue and expenditure).
Own resources The revenue owing automatically to the European Union budget, pursuant to the Treaties and implementing
legislation, without the need for any subsequent decision by national authorities.
Reprogramming In this nancial report the term reprogramming has the following meaning: when the state of implementation in the
expenditure areas of Structural Funds, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and
the European Fund for Fisheries suggests the need for reprogramming, the European Parliament and the Council will
take decisions on Commission proposals concerning the transfer of part of unused allocations during the rst year of
the multiannual nancial framework onto following years (see point 48 of the IIA).
Revenue Term used to describe income from all sources that nances the budget. Almost all revenue into the EU budget is in
the form of own resources, of three kinds: traditional own resources duties that are charged on imports of products
originating from a non-EU state; the resource based on value added tax (VAT); and the resource based on GNI. The
budget also receives other revenue, such as income from third countries for participating in EU programmes, the
unused balance from the previous year, taxes paid by EU sta, competition nes, interest on late payments, and so on.
Rules of application These lay down detailed rules for the implementation of the nancial regulation.
They are set out in a Commission regulation adopted after consulting all institutions and cannot alter the nancial
regulation upon which they depend.
Surplus Positive dierence between revenue and expenditure (see outturn) which has to be returned to the Member States.
UA Unit of account, also known as European Unit of Account (EUA), a book-keeping device for recording the relative
value of payments into and from EC accounts, replaced by the European currency unit (ECU) which has been replaced
by the euro.
UK correction At the Fontainebleau European Council in France on 25 and 26 June 1984, the then 10 Member States (Germany,
Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the UK) agreed on the rebate to be
granted to the UK to reduce its contribution to the EU budget.
VAT (value added tax) An indirect tax, expressed as a percentage applied to the selling price of most goods and services. At each stage of the
commercial chain, the seller charges VAT on sales but owes the administration this amount of tax minus the VAT paid on
purchases made in the course of business. This process continues until the nal consumer, who pays VAT on the whole
value of what is purchased. VAT is broadly harmonised in the European Union but Member States may x their own rates
of tax, within parameters set at EU level, and also enjoy a limited option to tax or not to tax certain goods and services.
