Draft amending budget No 8/2005, amended by the amending letter of 16 November 2005, is worrying because it cancels the original extra payment request of EUR 650 million for the Structural Funds – bearing in mind that EUR 380 million had already been obtained via transfers from other headings – and cuts the same amount from aid in respect of agricultural markets.
The alarming part is that the appropriations used and the few applications received from the new Member States fall way short of full use of the structural appropriations available. Indeed, we are nearing the end of the current financial framework and the so-called N+2 rule will apply, whereby authorisation expenses are automatically cancelled when they are not implemented within two years.
The return of own resources to the Member States will rise to around EUR 3.9 billion, which will naturally benefit the main net contributors. What we want to see is conditions put in place for complete, effective implementation of the Structural Funds. These returns will once again make it possible to tackle the constraints imposed by the Stability and Growth Pact, thereby helping to reduce deficits in some countries."@en1
