OPINION of the Committee on Development(*) (24.3.2017)

for the Committee on Budgets

on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions
(COM(2016)0582 – C8‑0374/2016 – 2016/0274(COD))

Rapporteur: Nirj Deva

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The Guarantee Fund for External Action (GFEA) protects the EU budget from shocks that might otherwise occur in case of defaults on loans that are guaranteed by the EU. It is intended to cover the activation of general budget guarantees for third countries in order to avoid possible disruptions to the implementation of the budget in the event of default. The Commission entrusted so far the financial management of the GFEA to the EIB, however the funds in it remain the property of the EU.

The Commission’s proposal to take over the asset management of the Guarantee Fund from the EIB is part of a larger plan to eventually internalise all asset management. Taking into account the fact that the Commission already manages seven billion euros, it is of the opinion that it already has the staff and expertise to manage the fund, while saving the yearly fees paid to the EIB for the asset management; in 2015 the fee amounted to EUR 861 000. The Commission claims that the transfer of the asset management to the Commission would generate over a full MFF period savings allowing the financing of a volume of investments of EUR 66 million.

While the Rapporteur agrees in principle with the Commission’s proposal to take over the asset management of the Guarantee Fund, the Rapporteur believes it of crucial importance that the European Parliament and the Court of Auditors monitor the Guarantee Fund and the transition of the asset management to the Commission. To that effect, the Rapporteur believes that an external impact assessment and evaluation by the Court of Auditors should take place two years after the transfer of the asset management of the Guarantee Fund from the EIB to the Commission. In the event of a significant performance gap, the asset management of the Guarantee Fund shall be moved back to the EIB.

AMENDMENTS

The Committee on Development calls on the Committee on Budgets, as the committee responsible, to take into account the following amendments:

Amendment    1

OPINION of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (22.3.2017)

for the Committee on Budgets

on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions
(COM(2016)0582 – C8‑0374/2016 – 2016/0274(COD))

Rapporteur: Eduard Kukan

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The Commission proposal amends the Regulation establishing the Guarantee Fund for external actions in the context of the revision of the External Lending Mandate of the European Investment Bank, bringing some technical adjustments.

The Rapporteur agrees with these adjustments, with the exception of the proposed transfer of the management of the Guarantee Fund to the Commission.

It is the Rapporteur’s belief that for the on-going period, the Guarantee Fund should remain under the management of the European Investment Bank. The rapporteur is of the opinion that re-internalization of the Guarantee Fund to the Commission would need to be properly prepared within a broader framework of management of the EU’s financial toolbox under the next Multiannual Financial Framework.

At the moment the rapporteur has not received conclusive evidence that moving the Fund under the management of the Commission would bring significant advantages and would not create unnecessary overlaps between the EU institutions. The Rapporteur is of the opinion that potential costs and benefits should be evaluated in more detail before such change is made.

Therefore, it is also Rapporteur’s opinion that broader discussion on future structure of the external lending should start well in advance the next financial period running from 2020.

The Committee on Foreign Affairs calls on the Committee on Budgets, as the committee responsible, to take into account the following amendments:

OPINION of the Committee on International Trade (22.3.2017)

for the Committee on Budgets

on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions
(COM(2016)0582 – C8‑0374/2016 – 2016/0274(COD))

Rapporteur: Godelieve Quisthoudt-Rowohl

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The proposal amends Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions and forms part of the ambitious External Investment Plan announced by the Commission on 7 June 2016 with the aim to further consolidate the European Agenda on Migration. The proposal introduces 4 amendments to the existing Regulation.

1. It adds the risk premium revenues generated under the financing operations of the EIB as a new fourth source of income for the Guarantee Fund.

2. The amount of the Guarantee Fund in surplus exceeding 10% (instead of currently 9%) of the total outstanding of loans will be paid back to the budget. This aims at giving higher financial capabilities to better protect the budget against potential additional risk of default of the EIB operations related to migration crisis.

3. The management of the assets of the Guarantee Fund shall be transferred from the EIB to the Commission. The Commission is already entrusted with the management of the Guarantee Fund for the EFSI. The proposed transfer aims at further consolidating the asset management activities of the Commission.

4. The Commission will annually submit to the Parliament, the Council and the Court of Auditors a detailed report on the situation and management of the Guarantee Fund. This could bring better and more accurate information based on the existing structures between these Institutions.

The rapporteur generally agrees with these adjustments with the exception of the following amendments.

(5)  The financial management of the Guarantee Fund should be transferred from the EIB to the Commission, which has an established practice of managing similar investments.
