COUNCIL REGULATION (EU, Euratom) No 608/2014
of 26 May 2014
laying down implementing measures for the system of own resources of the European Union
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the fourth paragraph of Article 311 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2014/335/EU, Euratom of 26 May 2014 on the system of own resources of the European Union (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1) |
The transparency of the Union's own resources system should be ensured by the supply of adequate information to the budgetary authority. Therefore, the Member States should keep at the disposal of the Commission, and where necessary forward to it, the documents and information needed to allow it to exercise the power conferred upon it as regards the Union's own resources. |
(2) |
The arrangements whereby the Member States responsible for collecting own resources report to the Commission, should make it possible for the Commission to monitor their action to recover own resources, in particular in cases of fraud and irregularities. |
(3) |
In order to ensure a balanced budget, any surplus of the Union's revenue over total actual expenditure during a financial year should be carried over to the following financial year. Therefore, the balance to be carried over should be defined. |
(4) |

(5) |
For the sake of consistency and clarity, provisions should be laid down covering the powers and obligations of agents authorised by the Commission to carry out inspections in relation to the Union's own resources, taking into account the specific nature of each own resource. The conditions under which authorised agents carry out their tasks should be set out, and in particular the rules which all Union officials, other servants and seconded national experts have to observe with regard to professional confidentiality and the protection of personal data should be laid down. It is necessary to establish the status of seconded national experts and the possibility for the Member State concerned to object to the presence, at an inspection, of officials of other Member States. |
(6) |
For reasons of coherence, certain provisions of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 (2) should be included in this Regulation. Those provisions concern the calculation and budgeting of the balance, control and supervision of own resources and relevant reporting requirements, as well as the Advisory Committee on Own Resources. |
(7) |
In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). |
(8) |
The advisory procedure should be used for the adoption of implementing acts in order to establish detailed rules on reporting fraud and irregularities affecting entitlements to traditional own resources and Member States' annual reports on their... |
