ANNEX 5: HISTORIC ANALYSIS OF MEMBER STATES PAYMENT FORECASTS Table 1 gives an overview of the aggregate results of the forecasting exercise since 2001 thus showing the evolution of the forecasting performance over time. Up to 2011 the forecast error was expressed as a percentage of payment execution while from 2012 onwards, following the change in methodology due to the lack of payment appropriations (see Chapter 2.5), the forecast error will be expressed as a percentage of claims submitted. Thus, in 2012 the total relative forecast error for the 2007-2013 programmes is 15%. This means that for every EUR 100 of payments claims actually submitted in 2012, the Member States had forecasted they would claim EUR 115. In absolute terms, the error was EUR 7.8 billion. - 49 -
