".
The implementation of the Community budget, that is, ensuring that political decisions are actually implemented, is an extremely important issue.
Unfortunately the budgetary process is increasingly less transparent and more scattered, making it difficult to ascertain the final destination of funds.
The budget savings imposed by the Stability and Growth Pact and by the major contributing countries has meant that, following adoption of the annual Community budget, many priority areas are underfunded, which has led to a policy of redistribution and cuts across the budgetary headings and countless amending budgets. In other words, non-execution is encouraged in certain areas to finance others, regardless of the adopted budget.
There are also policies and instruments such as the Stability and Growth Pact, that are factors in non-implementation. In this regard, the Commission and the Council cannot wash their hands of their responsibilities, in view of the constant reduction in payments in respect of authorisations.
National implementation must go hand in hand with the definition of national priorities on the ground, especially when it comes to the Structural Funds. Irrespective of the instruments that have just been proposed, we do not think that the negotiations on the new financial perspective should be contingent on the proposals being adopted."@en1
