GENERAL STATEMENT OF REVENUE

STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE BY SECTION

The general statement of revenue and the statement of revenue and expenditure by section are forwarded separately via the SEI-BUD system. An English version of the general statement of revenue and of the statement of revenue and expenditure by section is attached as a budgetary annex by way of example.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Due to exceptional circumstances, arising in the context of the negotiations on the 2006 budget procedure, the Commission proposes a reduction to the level of payment appropriations in the preliminary draft budget (including amending letters 1/2006 and 2/2006) of EUR 257 million. This is to facilitate an agreement between the two arms of the budgetary authority, who have concurred that they can accept a total level of payment appropriations of EUR 111 969 million (equal to 1.01% of GNI).

Careful analysis of the possible areas, where reductions could be made without having an adverse effect on the budget for 2006, has led to the following proposals:

- A reduction under Heading 4 of payment appropriations by EUR 70 million.

- A reduction under Heading 7 of payment appropriations by EUR 187 million.

The breakdown of the reductions by budget line is set out below. In these cases, the revised amount for payment appropriations is deemed sufficient to cover the obligations of the year.
