1.Elements of the Performance Framework of the EU budget  Treaty + EU legislation  Europe 2020 + Junker's Commission priorities  2014-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework (i.e. performance-based budgeting tools embedded into the legal basis of the programmes)  Annual budgetary process: informed political choices (i.e. programme statements)  Managerial performance framework inside the Commission (i.e. Strategic Planning and Programming cycle)  Ex-ante and retrospective evaluations of programmes (i.e. impact assessments, mid-term and ex-post evaluations)  Regular reporting, transparency and accountability (i.e. report on the management and performance of the EU budget) EU performance framework is conceptually in line with international practices: the PF in place is complementary to compliance audit and the political negotiation process.

Streamlined reporting consolidating information of 2 reports Key results and progress towards the achievement of objectives o reporting on performance and contribution of EU budget to policy achievement Annual Management and Performance Report
Part1: some Performance Achievements 2014-2020 MFF • European Fund for Strategic Investment allowed, in its first year, financing of projects with a total value of investment of EUR 100 billion thus boosting jobs and growth • Funding in support to security, migration, border control and root causes of migration was doubled to over EUR 10 billion for 2015-2016 • Over 350 000 migrants were rescued in the Mediterranean thanks to the tripling of funding for Triton and Poseidon interventions and their reinforcement of staff • More than EUR 2.5 billion have been allocated during 2015 and 2016 to Syria and Africa trust funds and Facility for Refugees in Turkey providing basic needs to refugees; • 240 000 persons benefited in 2015 from integration measures under Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund • Galileo satellites deployment was accelerated: 12 satellites launched, 9 in operation, 14 in production • Number of airports with EGNOS capability increasing security of landing operations went up from 150 to 174 • EUR 63.3 million emergency assistance to Ukraine provided help to over 800 000 of the most vulnerable financing projects for shelter, food, education, health care etc. • Additional liquidity for Greece amounting to EUR 2 billion to help maintain ongoing investments 2007-2013 MFF • Seventh Framework Programme had an estimated indirect economic effect of EUR 20 billion annually in additional GDP and supported 11 Nobel Laureates • 9 million citizens received training, improved skills or gained employment through the European Social Fund • 825 000 jobs were created and 120 000 new firms across the EU were helped to start-up thanks to the European Regional Development Fund • EAFRD supported 430 000 farm modernisation projects and provided start-up support to 165 000 young farmers • Improvement of the environmental performance of EU farming expanded to 47 million ha, representing more than 25% of the EU-27 Utilised Agricultural Area in 2013 • LIFE contributed to the reduction of 1.13 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year • EU external aid helped vaccinate 20 million more children against measles and built or renovated more than 8 500 health facilities worldwide; 40 500 scholarships were provided for secondary and tertiary education developing country students
Part2: Legality and Regularity The estimated amount at risk at payment  dependent on the mix between pre-financing, interim payments, final payments and related cleared pre-financing under the previous programming period  has decreased by some 10 % compared with the situation in 2014. The estimated amount at risk at closure  below the 2% materiality threshold EU budget is adequately protected - key role of Member States in this area
Programme Statements • Working document attached to the Draft Budget • provide information on the objectives of each programme ('why and on what do we spend?') • present how the resources are spread among the programmes ('where we spend?') • provide an annual snapshot on programmes implementation state of play ('is the programme progressing toward its targets?') • substantiate the draft budget with available performance information including best possible forecast of milestones, targets and outputs.
MFF Mid-Term Revision and Financial Regulation Revision Allocate funds to priorities ( € 6.3 bn), within margins  Immigration € 3.9 bn  Growth and Jobs € 2.4 bn Increase flexibility and agility  Doubling the size of the existing flexibility instrument and Emergency Aid Reserve  Creating a new European Union Crisis Reserve financed from de-committed appropriations  Lifting the restrictions to the global margins for commitments and payments  More flexibility through simplification of financial rules; e.g. "flexibility cushion" for external action instruments.
Simplify spending rules 16 A simplified single EU financial rule book replacing the Financial Regulation (FR) and its Rules of Application Simplifications of 15 other legislative acts (mostly ESIF rules)  -25% of text  increase the flexibility of the budget  simplify its implementation to optimise EU spending for 2018 onwards
3.Conclusions  The EU performance framework is aligned with international standards  Realistic expectations are key to success: The process of improving the PB framework is a gradual one where every step forward counts  The performance of the EU budget must consider the multiplicity of objectives as well as the complementarity and mainstreaming of policies and programmes  There is strong political momentum to progress in the implementation of the PBB framework embedded in the current MFF
