Supplementary and amending budget 1/1995: others sections

With the exception of the Commission's administrative budget, this report dealt with the allocation of reserves provided for in the context of enlargement for the budgets of the other institutions. The rapporteur recalled the need for sound financial management and stressed that it was important for the institutions to leave margins available within the ceiling of the financial perspective, given, in particular, the unfavourable change in the ECU/FB parity. The Committee on Budgets supported its rapporteur and adopted the amendments and the motion for a resolution. Mr DANKERT (PSE, NL) stressed the need for rational and effective management of human resources as well as the need for rigour and transparency in the budget. He recalled the importance of interinstitutional cooperation, which could be enhanced. The creation of new jobs linked to enlargement and the procedures for recruiting staff from the new Member States provided an excellent opportunity in this respect. Finally, since the latest enlargement had added two additional languages to the Union, the institutions were called upon to submit programmes to reorganise the translation services, which should also deal with the Translation Centre in Luxembourg. �
