The College of Eurojust adopted the Single Programming Document 2023-2025 on 8 November 2022 (College Decision 2022-09).
The present amended version incorporates:
- An increase of EUR 2.46 M in both commitment and payment appropriations needed to cover the expected 2023 shortfall in the temporary staff salaries, due to the impact of high inflation on the statutory annual adjustments, as well as the agency’s contractual obligations related to building service expenditures in 2023;
- A further increase of EUR 0.16 M in both commitment and payment appropriations, received on 2 October 2023 as an additional revenue from positive bank interest generated in the period 1 October 2022-30 September 2023 on funds received under external – contribution or service level - agreements and planned to fund certain high-priority ICT infrastructure investments that had been impacted by 2023 budget constraints; and
- A reduction of EUR 1.1 M in the payment appropriations related to the Digital Criminal Justice programme/projects and JIT grants, due to difficulties in implementing in full the payment appropriations initially available for 2023.
