Amending budget 2/2004: section VIII part B: European data-protection Supervisor

By adopting the report by Neena GILL (PES, UK), the European Parliament approved the Draft Amending Budget 2/2004. Parliament considers that the Draft Amending Budget 2/2004, as established by the Council, provides sufficient appropriations for the European Data Protection Supervisor for the year 2004 for him to begin his duties. It requests the European Data Protection Supervisor to submit a report to the Budgetary Authority before 30 September 2004, with a view to Parliament's first reading of the 2005 budget, assessing the state of play as regards operational needs, the progress made in setting up the administrative structures and recruitment procedures, the co-operation agreement with the European Parliament, and financial and budgetary management. Lastly it considers that the Draft Amending Budget 2/2004 is compatible with the ceiling fixed in heading 5 of the financial perspective without restricting other activities.�
