Supplementary and amending budget 1/1995: others sections

The resolution adopted by the European Parliament: - highlighted the need for sound financial management and the institutions' desire to ensure that margins were available within the ceilings for the different categories of expenditure; - considered that a reasonable available margin needed to be maintained within the category of "Administrative expenditure"; - stressed that the distribution of the reserves provided to cater for enlargement should not be automatic and that allocations to individual budget lines should be subject to proper assessment; - considered that, in this instance, the main aim of the allocation of appropriations was to create new posts and regretted the failure by the institutions to properly justify their ability to take on new staff in line with the initial requests put forward in their draft estimates; - recalled the need for rational and effective management of human resources and repeated its request concerning the need to submit both analytical budgets and operational establishment plans with a breakdown by directorate or group of services for each institution; - pointed out that the creation of new posts and the recruitment of staff from the new Member States should provide an opportunity for stepping up interinstitutional cooperation, which in turn should enable a common set of recruitment criteria to be drawn up; - invited the institutions to present an interinstitutional programme reorganising and regulating their translation services (Translation Centre, economies of scale, work from home, use of new technologies) and asked that this matter be raised in the context of the interinstitutional trialogue. �
