Amendment 56 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
18. Takes note of the rationale adopted by the Commission when proposing reductions as compared to the Financial programming, which has led, in the view of the Commission, to the identification of potential savings within under- implemented lines of –among others- FP7, TEN-T, Marco Polo, Progress, Statistical programme, Customs and Fiscalis; is determined to carefully analyse the performance under each of these programmes in order to check the appropriateness of the proposed cuts and exclude negative impacts on the programmes concerned; recalls that the main TEN-T programme was fully executed in 2011 and points out that a final judgement on how commitments have been implemented and paid out on projects in the 2007-2013 financial framework can be made only in 2017;

Amendment 161 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 69
69. Is however worried that for the first time the Commission cut the budgetary requests of almost all agencies, which were in line with Financial programming amounts overall, including of those agencies which belong to Parliament's priorities, for a total amount of some EUR 44 million; will carefully analyse the methodology, rationale and possible impact of such cuts; Underlines once more that EU agencies‘ budget allocations are far from consisting in administrative expenditure alone, but instead contribute to achieving the Europe 2020 goals and EU objectives in general, while aiming at making savings at national level, as decided by the legislative authority;
