Amending budget No 6/2015

Commission's proposal: Draft Amending Budget 6/2015, COM(2015) 351 – 15 July 2015
Council's position: 18 September 2015
Parliament's position: 14 October 2015 

Amending Budget (AB) No 6 for the year 2015 covers the following:

• A revision of the forecast of Traditional Own Resources (TOR, i.e. customs duties and sugar sector levies), VAT and GNI bases, the budgeting of the relevant UK corrections as well as their financing resulting in a change in the distribution between Member States of their own resources contributions to the EU budget. 
• The creation of two new budget items 21 01 04 08 and 22 01 04 03 — Support expenditure for trust funds managed by the European Commission. These items are intended to receive compensation for management costs related to the European Union trust funds for external action, in accordance with Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation. 
• An amendment of the establishment plan of the BEREC Office, without incurring any changes to the overall budget or the total number of posts. 

In summary, AB 6/2015 has no consequences for expenditure in 2015. The impact for revenue is a change in the distribution between Member States of their own resources contributions.
