Sommarju : This study introduces Members of the European 合法博彩网站 to the different estimates of the level of error affecting EU expenditure in cohesion policy. It explains how the European Commission calculates the estimated 鈥榬isk at payment鈥� and 鈥榬isk at closure鈥�, how the European Court of Auditors calculates the 鈥榚stimated level of error鈥� and how the two methodologies differ. The conclusion provides guidance on interpreting the different estimates.

Sommarju : Executive Vice-President Fitto and Commissioner Dombrovskis are invited to the 18th Recovery and Resilience Dialogue (RRD) under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) Regulation, scheduled for 31 March 2025. The previous RRD took place on 10 February 2025. For further details on sections 1 and 2 please contact EGOV. For further details on section 3 please contact EGOV and BSU.

Sommarju : This research study provides an overview of other revenue and its current and potential future relevance in the EU revenue system.

Sommarju : The implementation timetable for cohesion policy is defined largely by its legislative framework. In order to be able to plan parliamentary work and exercise systematic scrutiny of policy implementation and of the Commission鈥檚 work, it is essential to have an overview of the timing of different steps in policy implementation in the coming years. This type of briefing was first published (and subsequently updated) in 2014 covering the 2014-2020 programming period. This version includes the policy actions of the 2021-27 period, while still indicating the last steps of the 2014-20 period. It includes a detailed (but non-exhaustive) timetable of policy actions in 2025, together with an overview of major actions for the remainder of the programming period, from 2026. Given its contribution to cohesion in the European Union, policy actions under the Recovery and Resilience Facility are now included in the calendar

Sommarju : The expanded use of performance-based instruments, notably as used in the Recovery and Resilience Facility, requires adaptation of budgetary control. This study examines how key changes, such as financing not linked to costs and the use of milestones and targets to trigger disbursement alter budgetary control, The study also puts forward recommendations for the CONT committee of the European 合法博彩网站 to consider in influencing negotiations on the next MFF.

Sommarju : The original full study examines performance-based budgeting (PB) and mainstreaming, two relatively novel approaches to the governance of public expenditure which have become increasingly used in EU spending programmes. The two approaches have certain common features but differ in focus. To inform debate around the next multi-annual financial framework (MFF), this study assesses how the two have functioned in practice, seeking to identify shortcomings and recommend possible remedies.

Sommarju : The original full study commissioned by the European 合法博彩网站's Committee on Budgetary Control, presents an overview of the current anti-fraud architecture of the European Union, describing the composition, roles and responsibilities of the organisations involved, as well as their governance structures and forms of cooperation. The study examines the status quo, identifies potential risks and challenges related to the design and functioning of the architecture which can suggest further actions to improve its effectiveness. It places a particular focus on the role of the European 合法博彩网站 in this context.

Sommarju : This study examines the implications of future enlargements for the next MFF. It reviews adjustments made to the EU budget during past enlargements and estimates the budgetary costs of the accession of all current candidate and potential candidate countries (excluding T眉rkiye) under three alternative scenarios which distinguish between the number of enlargement countries and the timing of enlargement. It then provides policy recommendations for adapting the next MFF to enlargement. The study was prepared at the request of the Committee on Budgets.

Sommarju : Performance-based budgeting by focusing on 鈥榳hat works鈥�, as opposed to whether money has been properly spent, aims to improve the quality of public spending. This study examines how successful the approach has been in the EU, looking at the multi-annual financial framework and the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The study looks, in particular, at the role of the European 合法博彩网站 and how it could be enhanced, drawing on lessons from use of the approach in national settings.

Sommarju : The European Commission adopted the 2020-2025 Gender Equality Strategy to achieve significant progress towards gender equality across the EU by 2025. This included the introduction of the gender budgeting methodology in 2021. The methodology was applied to the budgets of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The gender budgeting methodology categorises programmes using scores (2, 1, 0*, 0). However, vague criteria like 鈥榩otential to contribute鈥� (score of 0*) and limited data undermine its accuracy and transparency. Only 2% of total funds are assigned to programmes with gender equality as their primary goal (score of 2), 9% of total funds are assigned to programmes which received a score of 1 and 69% of funds are assigned to programmes with a score of 0. This briefing gives an overview of the state of play of gender budgeting in the different EU programmes. It describes the methodology and gives examples of gender equality measures taken using EU funding

Sommarju : Building on Part 1, which draws lessons from the implementation of CRII, CRII+, REACT-EU and SURE, Part 2 of this study explores alternative approaches to enhance the EU budget鈥檚 capacity to respond to crises and discusses the implications of these options from the point of view of control and accountability.

Sommarju : The recent high inflation affects EU Member States differently. It is therefore important to quantify country-specific inflation impacts in regard to the implementation of the EU budget. This in-depth study focuses on country-specific inflation effects regarding research expenditures, Cohesion Policy, the Common Agricultural Policy, and NextGenerationEU. Moreover, policy options and recommendations at EU level to prevent adverse effects of future inflation shocks on the EU budget are identified and discussed. This document was provided at the request of the BUDG Committee.

Sommarju : Contingent liabilities for the EU budget have grown considerably in their magnitude and their complexity and will continue to increase under the MFF 2021-2027. This paper tracks their evolution, explains the risks they might impose on the EU budget, and analyses the risk management practices to address them. We forecast total contingent liabilities will more than double by 2027, reaching EUR 612 billion. This will be driven mainly by RRF loans and, to a lesser extent, by financial support to Ukraine.

Sommarju : Current estimates suggest that the cost of integrating all potential candidates, excluding Turkey, would be manageable, ranging from 鈧�15.7 billion to 鈧�26 billion per year. This range reflects different assumptions and methodological choices. At its maximum, this cost represents 0.2% of the EU鈥檚 GDP and could be easily covered within the existing margin of the Own Resources ceiling. The entry of Ukraine in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) poses significant challenges. Although accession may not be imminent, the EU should begin planning for this eventuality.

Sommarju : The practice of mainstreaming key transformational goals will undoubtedly be carried over into the post-2027 MFF. Assessing mainstreaming means looking at longer-term results and societal impacts. To this end, defining indicators and monitoring approaches will be crucial, as reliably establishing causality is often difficult. Additional imperatives for the European 合法博彩网站 will be to ensure satisfactory access to the information required and to boost its in-house capacity to analyse it.

Sommarju : Over the past decade, the concept of European Public Goods has become central to the EU reform debate. Genuine additional public tasks for the EU will require additional competencies and revenues. Exploring revenue niches not exploited by the Member States will not suffice: In the long term, the required doubling of the EU budget will only be achieved through genuine Own Resources in the form of surtaxes or tax shares linked to income and consumption.

Sommarju : The expected shift towards a performance-oriented budget presupposes a careful choice and definition of indicators clearly linked to the funding objectives, as well as standardised reporting and fully integrated and interoperable IT solutions to collect the required amount of data. Ensuring the full protection of the Union鈥檚 financial interest under performance-based budgeting will require careful balancing of auditing and control requirements with the administrative burden imposed on Member States and beneficiaries, and for the European 合法博彩网站, a form of 合法博彩网站ary Budget Office, drawing on best practices from Member States.

Sommarju : To reduce the need for disorderly ex-post adjustments that are largely responsible for the EU budget鈥檚 currently opaque governance structure, the long-term EU budget should be endowed with a new type of in-built flexibility. Various options are presented, which would deliver in qualitative terms, but would need to be supplemented by an 鈥渋n-budget鈥� (as opposed to off-budget) borrowing capacity.

Sommarju : The EU's debt stock reached EUR 547 billion by the end of September 2024 and is expected to increase by an additional EUR 448 billion under current commitments. Of this total, EUR 421 billion will ultimately finance grants, with the interest and principal repayments to be made jointly by EU countries through the EU budget. The remaining amount will finance loans to countries, which will be serviced as those countries repay their loans. The interest rate risk for the 2028-2034 MFF is expected to remain low.

Sommarju : The revised Financial Regulation was adopted on 23 September 2024. It significantly increases the scope of the data to be published in the Financial Transparency System (FTS). Prior to this it covered only EU budget funding under direct management but in future the FTS will include EU budget funding under indirect management and shared management starting with programmes adopted and financed under post-2027 multiannual financial frameworks. However, it is still possible that significant amounts of data will be missing from the FTS after 2027. This should be assessed and clearly explained by the Commission in future. The revised Financial Regulation does not address the presentation of data in the FTS, including the clarity, completeness and consistency of the data. Unless these issues are addressed, they will continue to limit the utility of FTS data regardless of the increased scope of the system. The FTS provides basic information and users will continue to have to check other publicly accessible EC portals and databases manually on a case by case basis to find other important information. Merging FTS data with data from these other systems, for deeper analysis, remains very challenging due to the lack of universal recipient and project identifiers, and varying levels of 鈥榙ownloadability鈥� on other systems. The larger volumes of data from 2028 onwards will require the use of more specialised data analytics expertise and tools.

Sommarju : This paper provides an overview of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)鈥檚 lending to Ukraine, particularly focusing on the IMF response to the Russia鈥檚 invasion of Ukraine since February 2022, given the challenging macroeconomic circumstances. If further analyses the key elements of the IMF鈥� Extended Fund Facility (EFF) programme for Ukraine, including the evolution of core assumptions, risks, fiscal sustainability and conditionality.
