The following had spoken:
before the vote
László Surján (rapporteur) had proposed the following technical adjustments:
(1) On the European Economic Recovery Plan, the committee had adopted two new paragraphs, added to lines 06 04 14 01, 06 04 14 02 and 06 04 14 03. They should be in addition to the existing budgetary remarks but, due to a technical error, they were shown as replacing them. Amendment 832 should, therefore, be adjusted accordingly.
(2) After verification of the margins, the vote in Committee had left a margin of EUR 1 775 000 in heading 3b. The rapporteur proposed allocating this amount to the Europe for Citizens programme. This meant that Amendment 889 on budget line 15 06 66 should be modified for total commitment appropriations EUR 32 255 000 and the retabled Amendment 547 was therefore covered (fell).
(3) The words '...sustainable and environmentally friendly actions... (Green New Deal)... ' should be added to the remarks instead of the words 'Green New Deal' in the remarks adopted on the following budget lines:
04 02 17 European Social Fund (ESF) – Convergence
04 02 19 European Social Fund (ESF) - Competitiveness
13 03 16 European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) - Convergence
13 03 18 European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) - Competitiveness.
Similarly, on budget line 13 03 20 ERDF - Operational technical assistance, the first two new paragraphs should be replaced by the following paragraph:
'Part of the appropriation is intended for financing sustainable and environmentally friendly actions (Green New Deal) that provide for reconciling economic, social and environmental development requirements and for recovery of European regions after the economic and financial crisis'.
(4) The budget line number of the Pilot Project on all-inclusive cooperation between public authorities, commercial firms and not-for-profit enterprises on integrating people into society and employment should be changed to 04 03 12 for technical reasons.
(5) The budget line number of the Preparatory Action - Erasmus for journalists should be changed to 09 06 05 for technical reasons.
(6) If Amendment 943 on the EPSO budget line 26 01 20 was adopted, the corresponding budgetary annex for this Office should be adjusted accordingly.
The President had noted that there were no objections to the proposed adjustments.
