    By adopting the reports by Mrs Jutta HAUG (PES, D) and Mr Markus FERBER (EPP-ED, D), the European Parliament approved at first reading the two Draft Supplementary and Amending Budgets in a single procedure in order to avoid needless administrative costs and to speed up implementation of the proposed changes. It adopts, in accordance with the results on the budget amendments, a single budgetary act, which includes Draft Supplementary and Amending Budgets No 3/2001 and No 4/2001. DSAB 3/2001 deals essentially with amendments to staffing in the institutions. For the Commission, it anticipates the creation of posts in research and development and also in the anti-fraud office (OLAF). Moreover, it agrees to set up 27 new posts for shared-cost RTD projects but decides that the 15 posts dedicated for administrative purposes should be placed in the lower levels of the corresponding categories. Furthermore, the Parliament welcomes the approval of the budgetary amendment tothe OLAF establishment plan modifying the breakdown between permanent and temporary posts and restoring the 3 posts deleted by the Council and enters EUR 3.8 billion in reserve until a redeployment of 10 A officials from OLAF to the Commission services is achieved and until a favourable opinion is given by OLAF Supervisory Committee. With regard to the DSAB 4/2001, it deals with savings in the budget for 2000, which amount to some EUR 11.6 billion. The House supports proposal to use some of these savings to go towards extra aid for the reconstruction for the Western Balkans this year. Parliament proposed that Council's figures of EUR 350 million should be increased to EUR 450 million. During the debate, the Commissioner Michaele SCHREYER declared that the Commission accepted this amendment.

    On 1 June 2001, the Commission sent to the Council the Draft Supplementary and Amending Budget (PDSAB) 4/2001 to the budget for 2001 concerning Section III (Commission) which relates in particular to the revenue for 2000, as well as on certain elements of the statement of revenue. In addition, the Commission proposes to increase the payment appropriations for Chapter B7-54 (Western Balkans) to the amount of EUR 350 million, from the revenue of 2000, as well as the technical amendment of the remarks to Chapter B7-70 (Democracy and Human Rights). On the 15 June 2001, the Council approved the draft supplementary and amending budget 4/2001, by accepting the Commission's proposal. Following this PDSAB, the total expenditure, including the SAB 1/01 and 2/01, rises to EUR 96.974,7 million in appropriations for commitments and EUR 93.655, 2 million in payment appropriations. The financial amount to be provided from the own resources is set at EUR 81.344, 9 million.�

    PURPOSE : to present the Preliminary Draft Supplementary and Amending Budget No 4/2001 which aims in particular to finance Community assistance to the reconstruction of the Western Balkans in 2001. CONTENT : the present PDSAB 4/2001 consists of two main elements related to payment appropriations: the balance for the financial year 2000 and an increase in the payment appropriations for assistance to the reconstruction of the western Balkans in 2001. More specifically, in accordance with Article 32 of the Financial Regulation, the balance of 2000 should be entered in the budget year 2001. The closure of the accounts for the financial year 2000 shows a surplus of EUR 11 612.7 million, which is therefore entered as revenue in the 2001 budget. In addition, the revenue part of this PDSAB contains a revision of the forecasts of customs duties and of the VAT and GNP bases to be applied for the budget year 2001 and the correction of budgetary imbalances in favour of the United Kingdom for 1997, 1999 and 2000. On the expenditure side, an update of the payment requirements for the four budget lines contributing to the assistance to western Balkans countries shows unmet requirements of EUR 380 million due to the rapid implementation of the assistance on the ground and to the front-loading of commitment appropriations in 2000, which have so far not been matched by payment appropriations. This PDSAB accordingly proposes an increase of EUR 350 million in Chapter B7-54, assuming that the remaining requirements can be met in the course of the year if and when appropriations become available in other budget lines. This PDSAB also proposes changes to some remarks in the budget lines to support the promotion of human rights, so as to allow continuing administrative management of the lines. Taking into account the provisional estimates for the 2000 balance already entered in the 2001 budget (EUR 1 635.6 million, including SABs 1 and 2/2001) and the EUR 350 million proposed for the western Balkans, entering the balance of EUR 11 612.7 million reduces the own resources to be paid by the Member States by EUR 9 627.1 million.�
