2015 EBA Budget Approval Summary

Core Content

The European Banking Authority (EBA) is requesting the Board of Supervisors (BoS) to adopt the 2015 budget of EUR 31,515,000, which was approved by the European Parliament on December 18th, 2014. This budget includes an establishment plan of 120 temporary agents (TA).

The budget was initially proposed as a preliminary draft (PDB) in February 2014 with a total of EUR 37,126,000 and 140 TA. The European Commission then submitted a draft budget (DB) of EUR 30,052,500 and 118 TA. After a conciliation process with the European Parliament, the DB was increased to EUR 31,515,000 and 120 TA, which was ultimately approved by the Parliament.

Conclusion

The 2015 EBA budget has been reduced compared to the initial PDB approved by the BoS in February 2014, with a total decrease of 15%. The reduction is primarily due to a decrease in administrative and operational costs. The final budget, approved by the European Parliament, is EUR 31,515,000, split between the Commission and Member States contributions. The BoS is now requested to formally adopt this budget in order to make it available for use from the beginning of 2015.
