The purpose of Amending Budget (AB) No 6 for the year 2021 is to provide additional appropriations to speed up global vaccinations, cover activations under the Union Civil Protection Mechanism and expenditure arising from external fisheries agreements, as well as some adjustments to expenditure and revenue.

  • reinforcement of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM/rescEU) for an amount of EUR 57,8 million in commitment appropriations to provide additional funding to cover new emergencies including repatriation flights from Afghanistan, the response in Haiti following the recent earthquake and outstanding operations including forest fires whose costs exceed the existing availablities until the end of the year;
  • increase of the level of commitment appropriations on the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreements (SFPA) budget line for an amount of EUR 3,5 million considering the updated budget needs following the conclusion of the negotiations on the new protocols with Cook Islands and Mauritania;
  • adjustment of the budgetary nomenclature following specific Member States requests to transfer resources pursuant to Article 26 of the Common Provisions Regulation (CPR);
  • update of the revenue side of the budget to take account of the revised estimates of own resource based on non-recycled plastic packaging waste.

Overall, the net impact of this AB on expenditure amounts to an increase of EUR 473,5 million in commitment appropriations. No additional payment appropriations are requested.
