The present amending budget, part of the Budgetary Conciliation of 25 November, provides for a EUR 3.7 million increase in payment appropriations for the Structural Funds, of which EUR 500 million covers additional own resources. We therefore voted in favour.
This goes to show that we were right. One year ago, we said that the level of appropriations for the Structural Funds was insufficient and that the Council’s obsession – with Parliament’s approval – with cutting appropriations, due to the constraints of the Stability and Growth Pact, would lead to an increase in the gap between authorisations and appropriations and would lead to problems in implementing the budget.
One expects that requests by the Member States in this area will increase in the final years of the current financial framework. All of the foundations must therefore be laid for the Structural Funds to be implemented in full, which is incompatible with Parliament’s acceptance of a level of payments for 2005 limited to 1% of Community GNI.
A further concern is the increased risk of cancelling authorisations on account of the application of the N+2 rule. This concern also led to the request to revoke the Stability and Growth Pact."@en1
