Amending budget 2/2016: surplus of the financial year 2015

The dossier concerns amending budget 2/2016 on the surplus of the financial year 2015. The amendments note the reduction of Member States' GNI contributions to the Union budget, debate how the resulting reflow should be spent including transfer to programmes such as Erasmus+, MEDIA and Horizon 2020, and address the adjustment of GNI contributions under the Financial Regulation and the reuse of surplus from under-implementation or fines.
