The working document will accompany the Draft Budget 2015 and present the reasons why, from the 2013 approved budget, it was more efficient for the Union to fund international organisations rather than to act directly. 2. Objective and structure of this working document In accordance with article 38(3)(d) of the Financial Regulation 1, the Commission should attach to the draft budget a working document showing funding to international organisations. This document should contain: a summary of all contributions, with a breakdown by Union programme or fund and by international organisation, a statement of reasons explaining why it was more efficient for the Union to fund those international organisations rather than to act directly. The following tables show the amount of legal commitments made to international organisations from the approved budget The total amount of these commitments is EUR ) Table 1 presents the commitments by international organisation. The ten biggest recipients were provided EUR 1.5 billion to implement EU policies, notably in the areas of humanitarian and development aid and in research. They account for 74.9 % of budgetary commitments to this group. 2) Table 2 attempts to synthesise, in order of magnitude, the main reasons why it was more efficient to fund international organisations than to act directly. At the individual project or programme level there may be more than one reason to work with an international organisation. The table indicates that the majority of the funding (72.9 %) is granted to international organisations due to their singular capacities to deliver humanitarian aid, their specific expertise and due to their international mandate. 3) Table 3 presents the commitments by Union programme. In terms of value external relations and research programmes account for almost 99 % of the total. 1 OJ L 298, , p. 1 Funding to international organisations / 6
