Single programming document

Article 44

1. Each year the Executive Director shall draw up a draft single programming document for the following year, as set out in Article 32 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1271/2013 and in the relevant provision of the Agency’s financial rules adopted pursuant to Article 49 of this Regulation and taking into account guidelines set by the Commission. The single programming document shall contain a multiannual programme, an annual work programme and the Agency’s budget and information on its resources, as set out in detail in the Agency’s financial rules adopted pursuant to Article 49. 2. The Management Board shall adopt the draft single programming document after consulting the Advisory Groups and shall send it to the European Parliament, to the Council and to the Commission by 31 January each year, as well as any updated version of that document. 3. Before 30 November each year, the Management Board shall adopt, by a two-thirds majority of its members with the right to vote, and in accordance with the annual budgetary procedure, the single programming document, taking into account the opinion of the Commission. The Management Board shall ensure that the definitive version of this single programming document is sent to the European Parliament, to the Council and to the Commission and is published. 4. The single programming document shall become definitive after the final adoption of the general budget of the Union and, if necessary, shall be adjusted accordingly. The adopted single programming document shall then be sent to the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission and shall be published. 5. The annual work programme for the following year shall comprise detailed objectives and expected results, including performance indicators. It shall also contain a description of the actions to be financed and an indication of financial and human resources allocated to each action, in accordance with the principles of activity-based budgeting and management. The annual work programme shall be coherent with the multiannual work programme referred to in paragraph 6. It shall clearly indicate tasks that have been added, changed or deleted in comparison with the previous financial year. The Management Board shall amend the adopted annual work programme when a new task is given to the Agency. Any substantial amendment to the annual work programme shall be adopted by the same procedure as the initial annual work programme. The Management Board may delegate the power to make non-substantial amendments to the annual work programme to the Executive Director. 6. The multiannual programme shall set out the overall strategic programming, including objectives, expected results and performance indicators. It shall also set out resource programming, including multiannual budget and staff. The resource programming shall be updated annually. The strategic programming shall be updated where appropriate and in particular to address the outcome of the evaluation referred to in Article 39.

Establishment of the budget

Article 45

1. Each year the Executive Director shall draw up, taking into account the activities carried out by the Agency, a draft statement of estimates of the Agency’s revenue and expenditure for the following financial year, including a draft establishment plan, and shall submit it to the Management Board. 2. The Management Board shall, on the basis of the draft statement of estimates drawn up by the Executive Director, adopt a draft estimate of the revenue and expenditure of the Agency for the following financial year, including the draft establishment plan. By 31 January each year, the Management Board shall send it to the Commission and to the countries associated with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis and with Dublin- and Eurodac-related measures, as a part of the single programming document. 3. The Commission shall send the draft estimate to the budgetary authority together with the preliminary draft general budget of the Union. 4. On the basis of the draft estimate, the Commission shall enter in the draft general budget of the Union the estimates it deems necessary for the establishment plan and the amount of the subsidy to be charged to the general budget, which it shall place before the budgetary authority in accordance with Articles 313 and 314 TFEU. 5. The budgetary authority shall authorise the appropriations for the contribution to the Agency. 6. The budgetary authority shall adopt the establishment plan for the Agency. 7.

Where appropriate, the Agency’s budget shall be adjusted accordingly. 8. Any modification to the Agency’s budget, including the establishment plan, shall follow the same procedure as that applicable to the establishment of the initial budget. 9. Without prejudice to Article 17(5), the Management Board shall, as soon as possible, notify the budgetary authority of its intention to implement any project which may have significant financial implications for the funding of its budget, in particular any projects relating to property, such as the rental or purchase of buildings. The Management Board shall inform the Commission thereof. If either branch of the budgetary authority intends to issue an opinion, it shall, within two weeks of the receipt of the information on the project, notify the Management Board of its intention to issue such an opinion. In the absence of a reply, the Agency may proceed with the planned operation. Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1271/2013 shall apply to any building project likely to have any significant implications for the Agency’s budget.
