  • The MFF contingency plan should ensure a satisfactory degree of predictability and continuity in Union budget implementation.

  • The MFF contingency plan shall include one or several legislative proposal(s) to lift or extend the time limits laid down in the basic acts of all concerned expenditure programmes and, where legally necessary notably under shared management programmes, update the relevant financial amounts on the basis of a technical prolongation of the 2020 levels.
  • The legislative proposal(s) should also include a temporary refocusing of the objectives of all the relevant expenditure programmes, so that they can best address the immediate consequences of the Covid-19 outbreak.
  • This timeframe for tabling the contingency plan will address a double necessity: a) to ensure that the budgetary procedure for the year 2021 starts with all the necessary information as regards contingency planning; b) to ensure that the relevant legislative proposals can be adopted by the co-legislators before the conciliation on the 2021 budget.
  • This will be the time when the budgetary authority will have to take a final decision on next years Union budget either on the basis of a new 2021-2027 MFF or on the basis of an extension of the 2020 ceilings; 5.
  • The measures necessary for the implementation of the contingency plan shall be financed through the annual budget, within the limits of the MFF ceilings for 2020 and of the flexibility provisions of the 2014-2020 MFF as extended in accordance with Article 312(4) TFEU, on the basis of a technical prolongation of the amounts already agreed by the budgetary authority in 2020, increased by the 2% deflator and by the additional amounts necessary for the implementation of the post-Covid-19 reconstruction and recovery package.
  • This technical prolongation should also determine the national envelopes under the shared management programmes.
