Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
5. Notes that the Centre slightly increased the overall rate of committed appropriations carried over to the following year from 8,40 % in 2014 to 9,63 % in 2015, representing a 1,23 % rise; notes that the level of committed appropriations carried over for Title II (administrative expenditure) was at 29 %; observes that these carry-overs mainly concerned the refurbishment of additional premises rented in 2015 as well as IT services that had not yet been provided by the end of 2015; points outnotes that carry-overs aremight often be partly or fully justified by the multiannual nature of the agencies’ operational programmes and do not necessarily indicate weaknesses in budget planning and implementation nor are they always at odds with the budgetary principle of annularity, in particular if they are planned in advance and communicated to the Court;

Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
6. Notes with concern from the Court’s report that the Centre cancelled EUR 5 900 000 (12 % of the total budget) of appropriations available at the end of 2015; points out that these cancellations were related to the overestimation of the cost of external translators as well as to the fact that the fulfilment of the establishment plan did not reach the level foreseen in the budget; acknowledgesnotes, however, that the Centre monitored the evolution of external translation costs more closely and based its budget forecasts for 2016 onwards on up- to-date figures; welcomes the Centre’s efforts in the 2015- 2016 period to improve its estimate of the cost of external translation services, which led to considerable changes in the forecast over the past three budgets;
