Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on EAGF expenditure – Early Warning System No 1-4/2014

The 2014 budgetary procedure for the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and the corresponding amounts of appropriations involved at each stage of the procedure are summarised in the table presented in Annex 1.

The 2014 EAGF budget was adopted by the European Parliament on 20 November 2013. The budget included commitment and payment appropriations amounting to €43,778.1 million and to €43,777 million respectively for agricultural market measures and direct aids.

The difference between commitment and payment appropriations is due to the fact, that for certain measures, which are directly implemented by the Commission, differentiated appropriations are used. These relate mainly to promotion measures for agricultural products and to policy strategy and coordination measures for agriculture.
