document COM(2020)145 NLEN
datum 6 april 2020
agreement was reached on the creation of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO)6. The Legislative Financial Statement accompanying the regulation envisaged a progressive phasing-in of the operational activities whereby the Office would reach cruising speed in 2023. The timing of this phasing-in needs to be partly accelerated to allow the EPPO to exercise its investigatory and prosecutorial functions as from the very start of its operations, including on the existing caseload at Member States level. In order to cope with this obligation as soon as possible, the Commission proposes to frontload in 2020 18 additional staff (11 establishment plan posts and 7 contractual agents) initially foreseen to be available from 2021.

Overall the Commission proposes an increase of EUR 3,3 million in commitment and payment appropriations to cover the increased costs of staff as well as other IT and security related expenditure not initially foreseen in the budget 2020.

Finally, the Commission proposes the upgrading of one AD11 post of the 2020 establishment plan into an AD14 post, to allow the recruitment of the Executive Director who will replace the current interim Director seconded from the Commission.

European Court of Auditors

When preparing its budget for 2020, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) requested EUR 900 000 to cover the audit of the EU agencies and other EU bodies. At a later stage of the 2020 budget procedure, the ECA decided to change the approach, i.e. the agencies will continue to pay for their audits on the basis of the current framework contract in 2020.

The Commission proposes to release the corresponding appropriations for the audit of the EU agencies and other EU bodies, as the ECA no longer needs them.

European Ombudsman

In

the request for the

2020

budget, the

Ombudsman

had requested the downgrading of several posts in

the institution’s establishment plan in order to match the actual occupation of the posts. Two senior management posts AD15 and AD14 were therefore downgraded into two administrator’s posts AD 11.

In December 2019, the European Ombudsman, Ms Emily O’Reilly, was reelected for a five-year mandate. For this new mandate, Ms O’Reilly envisages to restructure the Office as from 2020 and intends to actually use the senior management posts that were previously downgraded.

It is thus proposed to upgrade one permanent AD 11 post and one permanent AD13 post to two permanent AD14 posts. This amendment has no impact on the level of appropriations allocated to the Ombudsman in the 2020 budget.

The

updated establishment plan is set out in the budgetary annex.

6. Financing

6.1.               Heading 3 Security and Citizenship

The overall increase in commitment appropriations under Heading 3 amounts to EUR 423,3 million. Given the absence of margins and limited room for redeployment under this heading, the Commission proposes to m obil ise spec ial nstruments for this amount as follows:

• To mobilise the Global Margin for Commitments for the migration related appropriations, i.e. EUR 350,0 million.

• To mobilise the Flexibilty Instrument for all other expenditure exceeding the ceiling of heading 3 (EUR 73,3 million), i.e. to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak and to provide additional means to European Public Prosecutor’s Office. As a result, the amount of the Flexibility Instrument mobilised in the 2020 budget will increase from EUR 778,1 million7 to EUR 851,7 million.

6.2.                Heading 4 Global Europe

The overall increase in commitment appropriations under Heading 4 amounts to EUR 145,0 million for the post-earthquake reconstruction in Albania (EUR 100 million) and the COVID-19 repatriation flights co-finaced by the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (EUR 45 million). This amount will be financed from the unallocated margin available under this heading (EUR 248,4 million).

No use of special instruments is required.
