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.
Page 6
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.

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.

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.

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.
Page 11
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.

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.
