lpv:translated text	". The process of drawing up EU budgets has in the past demonstrated a discrepancy between the Community’s political priorities and the funding earmarked for them, and this has led to a certain degree of opacity. Under pressure from Parliament, the Commission adopted a new activity-based management approach (ABM). It is a good, simple idea. The first task is to identify activities to be developed, in accordance with political priorities. These activities will subsequently influence the human resources and finances to be allocated. It would appear that adopting this method will make it easier to carry out a thorough assessment of the consequences of particular policies and actions. In spite of the efforts that have already been made, I am compelled to note the poor quality of the activity statements and their lack of usefulness to the budgetary process. They fall well short of the desired level. Information is dispersed, not quantified and often lacking in practical detail. Most of the targets and their respective indicators are not measurable, and their implications for human and financial resources are scarcely explained. The key aim of the exercise has not been achieved. Given that anything that is not measured cannot be managed, there is still no clear link between the objectives and targets, on the one hand, and the indicators chosen to gauge the degree to which those objectives have been met, on the other. As far as this issue is concerned, there is therefore a long way to go."@en1
