Paragraph 10
10. Acknowledges that following requests from Parliament, the 2012 budget shows payment appropriations of EUR 50 000 000 on the EGF budget line 04 05 01; deeply regretnotes, however, that for the second year in a row these payment appropriations have turned out to be clearly insufficient to cover the funding requests for a whole year and the missing payment appropriations have to be marshaled though an amending budget via transfers from other budget lines; believes that both these facts do not denote sound budgeting; recalls that the EGF was created as a specific instrument to give an immediate and adequate answer to special situations of social emergencies raised by the impact ofresponse to mass redundancies due to the direct and indirect effects of globalization; highlights, therefore, that the EGF deserves a dedicated andwithout adequate level of appropriations, and in order to avoid systematic transfers from other budget lines, as has happened in the past, which is detrimental toneither the emergency nature of the EGF itselfnor its integrity can be guaranteed;
