2008: Faci g ur ulim s a d pr pari g rh u ur
Continuity in e iCient budget managementA er the smooth launch o the 200713 nancial ramework, the 2008 budget o-cused on solid programme implementation and the areas o growth and jobs, withcommitments on sustainable growth rising rom EUR 53.7 billion to EUR 57.9 bil-lion. For the second year in a row, spending on competitiveness and cohesion out-stripped expenditure on agriculture and rural development (the heading or preserva-tion and management o natural resources), which amounted to EUR 56.3 billion.Active budget management also continued, with Member States only making pay-ments into the EU budget or what was strictly necessary and with only roughly 1.5 %o the budget end-o -year surplus (see Section 3) being redistributed to nationalco ers.
dealing with the ConsequenCes o war, ood priCe hikesand an eConomiC Crisis
Whilst the 2008 budget ollowed the roadmap set out in the nancial ramework, aseries o crises also called or the EUs intervention and budgetary support during theyear.
Active on the diplomatic ront to halt the ghting during the war in Georgia, the EUintervened nancially through the provision o humanitarian aid, peace monitors and
a reconstruction aid package. In total, this aid amounted to EUR 168.8 million.In response to the dramatic rise in ood prices in developing countries, the EU alsoacted decisively by agreeing on a EUR 1 billion ood aid acility or 200810 to helpdeveloping countries access goods and services necessary to increase ood produc-tion. Tis included seeds and ertilisers to address the basic ood needs o the most vulnerable populations.
Te second hal o the year was marked by the severe economic situation and thecoordinated e orts at European level to counter its e ects through the European

economic recovery plan. In November, the Commission proposed EUR 14.4 billionrom the EU budget in 2009 and 2010, made up rom an additional EUR 5 billion
o unding to go to developing energy interconnections and broadband; EUR 6.3 bil-lion was made up rom accelerated Social and Cohesion Fund payments;EUR 2.1 billion in total redeployment rom existing budgets or green cars, energy payments or trans-European transport networks; and EUR 0.5 billion or variousother projects. At the time o publication o this report, steady progress has beenachieved on the implementation o these measures. Te European Council and theEuropean Parliament have agreed on the 200910 EUR 5 billion initiative or en-ergy projects and broadband connections or rural communities, which will alsocover unding to meet challenges in the common agricultural policy as part o theongoing health check.
debating the uture o the eu budgetTe ambitious public debate launched by the Commission in September 2007 onthe uture priorities o the budget attracted massive interest rom stakeholders rightacross the continent. Almost 300 contributions were received rom a broad range o civil society organisations, governments and citizens. Te clear message was a de-sire or change and an overhaul o the budget, both in terms o Europes challenges,with climate change, economic competitiveness and energy supply security toppingthe list, and in terms o nancing where the emphasis was on simpli cation as wellas a move away rom the notion o budgetary corrections which only bene t a smallgroup o Member States. Te debate also ocused on the need or a simpli cation o the budget implementation mechanisms as well as increased responsibility orMember States (who manage over 80 % o the EU budget) and greater transparency on the EU und bene ciaries.
A closing con erence presenting the results o the consultation and chaired by President Barroso brought together more than 500 participants rom all overEurope to discuss the re orm o EU nancing and spending. Te con erence pro-ceedings can be ound at the ollowing address: http://ec.europa.eu/budget/re orm/con erence/documents_en.htm
more transparenCy on the use o eu undsIn line with the 2006 introduction o legal obligations concerning the publicationo bene ciaries o EU unds in the nancial regulation, 2008 saw the European
ransparency Initiative bear its rst important ruits. In October 2008, the Com-mission launched the online Financial ransparency System (F S) a web-basedsearch engine allowing the public to nd out who the recipients o EUR 10 billiono EU aid are (see box). A similar website was also launched with in ormation onthe recipients o EU external aid managed by the Commission (it will subsequently be integrated into F S). In parallel, portals were launched on aid managed underthe common agricultural policy, with links to national websites, the European Fish-eries Fund and the Structural Funds. aken together, these websites provide clearinsight into the bene ciaries o EU aid across the broadest possible spectrum o policies. Te Commission hopes that this will stimulate a long-term, constructivedebate on the use o EU unds.
Clean bill o health on eu aCCounts by auditorsTe European Court o Auditors annual report delivered promising news in 2008.It con rmed the positive trend in the management o payments, showing that themajority o payments checked were correct, with most policy areas only a ected by less than 5 % o errors and, in certain areas, such as direct aid to armers and ad-ministrative expenditure, less than 2 %. Errors were still too requent in certainareas, particularly where grants have been managed by national authorities, such as
or cohesion policy.
Acknowledging the results o the Commissions sustained e orts to modernise itsaccounting systems, the European Court o Auditors li ed its last remaining re-serves on the EU accounts. Te Commission is currently one o the ew public ad-ministrations worldwide that operates ull accrual accounts, giving it a comprehen-sive overview o its current and uture assets and liabilities. ogether with FEE, the

Te 2008 EU budget increased by 8 % compared with 2007, reaching EUR 130.9 billion in executed commitment appro-priations (CAs). Compared with 2007, the budget share among the six headings o the multiannual nancial ramework (MAFF) 200713 has developed and sustainable growth maintained its top position with EUR 57.9 billion keeping instep with the EUs strategy or jobs and growth. Preservation and management o natural resources with EUR 56.7 bil-lion showed a shi o unds within the common agricultural policy rom direct aid (the rst pillar) to rural development(the second pillar see second chart). Tis con rms the steady trend towards a market-oriented and a more sustainableEuropean agriculture. Citizenship, reedom, security and justice received EUR 1.5 billion and Te European Union as aglobal player, with 7.3 billion, provided unds or security, oreign policy, health, education and culture policies in Europeand beyond, increasing by 0.1 and 0.3 percentage points. Administration with EUR 7.2 billion and Compensations withEUR 0.2 billion saw a decrease o 0.1 and 0.2 percentage points respectively on 2007. Tis second year o the MAFFcon rmed the EUs e orts and commitment to prosper in a constantly evolving economy.

methodology
Tis section o the report is structured according to the headings o the multiannual nancial ramework (see An-nex 1) and, within each, presents the major expenditure programmes.
Te introductory pie charts or each heading give a comprehensive picture o the programmes. Due to space limits,only some o the programmes have been described in urther detail.
Financial in ormation illustrating the whole budget and the breakdown within each heading relies on commitmentappropriations linked to voted credits and carry-overs executed during the nancial year 2008, and there ore excludesearmarked revenue (see glossary).
At an even deeper detail level, in ormation on outputs and related expenditure within each programme has beenadded. Tis in ormation is indicative and usually does not include administrative expenditure, which means that thetotals do not necessarily correspond to the overall gure given or the programme elsewhere in the report. In thecases where the source is the activity statements published in the preliminary dra budget 2010, earmarked revenueis included since there is no way to exclude it.

Te trans-European networks programme ( EN) supports the linking o regions and national transport and energy networks through modern and e cient in rastructure. Te idea o trans-European networks ( ENs in the EU jargon)emerged by the end o the 1980s in conjunction with the proposed single market. It made little sense to talk o a bigmarket, with reedom o movement within it or goods, persons and services, unless the various regions and nationalnetworks making up that market were properly linked by modern and e cient in rastructure.
Te construction o trans-European networks is also an important element or economic growth and the creation o employment.
In 2008: adoption of the TEN-T map 2008 (maps or
axes are projects within the transport policy) whichallocates 100 % of its funds to sustainable transportactivities. e annual programme concentrates 60 % of its funding on the development of transport infrastructurethat may provide an alternative to pure road trans-portation.
In 2008, 44 projects were scheduled and nalised in theelds of electricity and gas.Four priority transport projects started in the Netherlands,Ireland, the UK, Italy, Denmark and Sweden and a further
four accessed the study phase. e 2008 map call for
priority project 21, Motorways of the sea, was completedand some motorways of the sea became operational.
In 2008, the ITS action plan and legislative proposal wereadopted to decrease congestion and road accidents andgive better travel information. e SESAR (Single Europeansky Air traffi c management research) master plan wasadopted. is has been designed to triple the capacity of the existing air traffi c management system, reduce costs by 50 %, increase safety by a factor of 10 and reduce theenvironmental impact per ight by 10 %.
the trans-european networks programme
Te largest expenditure areas o the competitiveness andinnovation ramework programme (CIP) are representedby: the entrepreneurship and innovation programme(EIP), supporting innovative enterprises through theEuropean Investment Bank (EIB); the Intelligent energy Europe (IEE) programme, which nances actions relatedto energy e ciency, renewable energy resources, diver-si cation o uels and energy e ciency in transport; andthe in ormation and communication technology (IC )policy support programme.

Competitiveness and innovation ramework programme
One o the main pillars o European transport policy isstimulating technological innovation. European space policy is introducing the notion o satellite navigation with a viewto optimising tra c management, whether road, waterborneor aerial. Better managing tra c not only engenders sa ety but ensures a reduction in pollution since journeys andtra c are streamlined. Satellite navigation enables emergency services to better carry out their unctions (e.g. in res, roadaccidents and mountain rescue).
Galileo is Europes initiative or a state-o -the-art globalnavigation satellite system, providing a highly accurate,guaranteed global positioning service under civiliancontrol. While providing autonomous navigation andpositioning services, Galileo will at the same time beinteroperable with GPS and Glonass, the two other globalsatellite navigation systems.

In April 2008, the experimental satellite GIOVE-B was launched. Following the activation of GIOVE-A in 2005,this is the second preparatory measure aimed at establishing a constellation of 30 operational GPS satellites by 2013.

1. ConvergenCe objeCtiveTis is the priority objective replacing Objective 1 o the period 200006, with CAs representing 61.7 % o total cohesionexpenditure in 2008. It invests in long-term competitiveness, job creation and sustainable development in the less-developedregions and Member States. In the period 200713, 70.5 % o the resources available or this objective is allocated to re-gions with a GDP per capita o less than 75 % o the EU-25 GDP and around 5 % is allocated to transitional support toregions that lost eligibility due to the statistical e ect o enlargement. Te remaining 24.5 % o the available resources isallocated via the Cohesion Fund (see below) to Member States whose GNI per capita is less than 90 % o the EU-25 aver-age. Eligibility criteria are: population (structure, density, etc.), regional and national prosperity, sur ace area and unem-ployment rates.
2. regional Competitiveness and employment objeCtiveTis objective unds regions not covered by the convergence objective and aims at strengthening regions competitivenessand attractiveness, as well as employment. In 2008, 18.1 % o CAs o overall cohesion expenditure were dedicated to thisobjective. In the period 200713, 79 % o the unding is allocated among Member States according to the eligible popula-tion, regional prosperity, (un)employment, and population density o the regions covered. Te remaining 21 % is allo-cated as transitional support to regions that were eligible or Objective 1 support in the period 200006 but whose GDPper capita increased above 75 % o the average GDP o the EU-15. Te latter regions lost eligibility under the convergenceobjective due to growth.
3. european territorial Cooperation objeCtiveTis objective promotes cooperation at cross-border, transnational and interregional levels. It represented 2.8 % (CAs) o total cohesion expenditure in 2008. It also unds peace and reconciliation actions in Northern Ireland.

Direct payments and market management measures arecovered by the rst pillar o the common agricultural poli-cy (CAP). Its current structure is the result o an ongoingre orm process started in 1993 and extended signi cantly in 2003. Te central idea behind the re orms was to makethe agricultural sector more competitive by cutting the link between subsidies and production, while providing thenecessary income stability to armers. Farmers now receivean income support payment, on condition that they ul lenvironmental, ood sa ety and animal health and wel arestandards. A mechanism or nancial discipline has been
set up to ensure that the arm budget xed until 2013 is notovershot. Direct payments to new Member States increasedgradually ollowing the 10-year phasing-in scheme. A newinstrument called modulation allows trans er o unds
rom the direct payments to the armers to the rural devel-opment budget. Tis pillar also nances consumer-orient-ed measures such the European school milk programme,which subsidises the distribution o milk and other dairy products in schools throughout Europe. During the2007/08 school year, over 25 million EU students received291 406 tonnes o milk and milk products.

Humanitarian aid helps countries which are victims o natural catastrophes and man-made crises (wars, conficts,etc.). In 2008, the Commission responded to humanitariancrises in over 60 countries. Due to the e ect o soaringprices o ood aid products and oil, the cost o respondingto the humanitarian needs escalated signi cantly and theinitial budget had to be rein orced rom the emergency aidreserve on several occasions during the year. Apart romhumanitarian aid and ood aid, over EUR 30 million havebeen spent on disaster preparedness actions.

Compensation is a temporary measure ensuring that newMember States retain a positive budgetary balance duringthe rst years o accession. New EU countries start payinginto the EU budget rom the beginning o their accession but
due to the act that the programmes are implemented over along time rame they do not receive substantial amountsrom the EU budget until much later. Tere ore they need a
compensation to counterbalance the temporary time gap.Whereas in 2006 compensations were paid to the 10 coun-tries that had joined in 2004, as o 2007 they only concernedBulgaria and Romania, which received EUR 64 million andEUR 142.6 million in 2008 respectively.
