EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The rapporteurs propose to confirm Parliament's 1st reading amendments for the following reasons:
When dealing with proposals for amending budgets, it is not new that Council insists on financing unexpected budgetary needs through redeployment and redeployment only. However, in its DAB 3 Council has gone one step beyond this "traditional" attitude and has set a dangerous precedent: It has reduced an operational line in section III - Commission (Heading 3) in order to cover an increase in Section VIII - Data-protection Supervisor. This increase for the Data-protection Supervisor had become necessary in order to allow him to pay for unexpected translation costs charged to it by Council itself (according to the relevant administrative cooperation agreement, it is Council which provides translation services to the Data-protection Supervisor).
After thorough consideration, the rapporteurs have decided to go back to the Commission's PDAB regarding the proposed increases for the European GNSS Supervisory Authority, the European Aviation Safety Agency, the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders and the European Data-protection Supervisor.
The rapporteurs reject, however, all compensations proposed to make up for these increases be they made by the Commission in its PDAB, as for the Aviation Safety Agency and for FRONTEX, or, in addition, made by Council for the GNSS Supervisory Authority and the Data-protection Supervisor. Accordingly, they introduce budgetary amendments to DAB No 3 resulting in an amount of + 8 504 545 EUR in fresh money needed to finance the appropriations required.
Budgetary amendments see annex.
