Text tabled : A7-0049/2011

  Alfredo Pallone (PPE), in writing. – (IT) Mr Fernandes’s proposal for a resolution on the guidelines for the 2012 budget procedure offers an overview of the administration of Parliament’s budget in view of a future optimisation of the management of the resources available to the European institutions, which is why I voted in favour. Parliament will have to adopt a budget to consolidate the future financial framework and the additional human resources needed to meet the requirements of the Treaty of Lisbon, and to improve and complete the buildings available, information technology and interpreting services. The main objective is still to find a good way of managing resources so as to contain expenses while nevertheless improving services.
