(Voting record: 'Results of votes', Item 7)

The following had spoken:

Before the vote

Sidonia Elżbieta Jędrzejewska (rapporteur), proposing the following technical adjustments:

   1) Letter of amendment no 1/2011:

Concerning the integration of Letter of amendment No 1 for 2011 in Parliament’s reading, some technical adjustments needed to be made in both the new European External Action Service section and that of the Commission, following the proposed transfers of appropriations between sections.

In the EEAS section these concerned notably the budgeting of the 1.85% salary adjustment for the new Service, as was the case for the other institutions. The amounts affected by the letter of amendment in the Commission section also needed to be modified accordingly.

This also applied to some Parliament amendments on administrative lines, which needed to be aligned with the final amounts presented in the budget lines of Section III.

   2) Agencies:

For the agencies, the remarks following certain agencies’ budget lines would be technically adjusted to make them consistent with the final figures adopted.

   3) Remarks:

In line 02 01 04 04, remarks adopted in Amendment 996 should be added as such to Amendment 1010 on operational line 02 02 01 (as part of the package on pilot projects and preparatory actions).

In line 19 05 01, the words ‘other than the United States’ should be deleted from the heading and the remarks, as decided by the Committee on Budgets.

In line 19 09 01, an oral amendment adopted in the Committee on Budgets should be inserted in the remarks.

The following words should be added: ‘part of this appropriation is intended to support, amongst others, initiatives such as the EU-LAC Foundation decided at the summit of EU-LAC Heads of States and Governments and the Biarritz Forum’.

   4) Renumbering of some budget lines:

It was necessary to renumber some budget lines in order to avoid contradictory numbering of some lines created and to follow nomenclature rules. This would affect neither the multiannual financial framework headings nor the budgetary chapter of the amendments adopted in the Committee on Budgets. This concerned Amendments 386, 389, 521, 833, 997, 998, 999, 1016, 1018, 1021, 1022, 1023 and 1024.

The President noted that there were no objections to the adjustments proposed.

During the vote

József Szájer on the PPE Group's voting list, concerning Amendment 967.

Göran Färm on the S&D Group's voting list on Amendment 987.

After the vote

Olivier Chastel (President-in-Office of the Council) noted the differences between Parliament and the Council and agreed to convene the Conciliation Committee pursuant to Article 314(4)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
