"The first amendment to the Community Budget for 2008 includes mobilisation of the EU Solidarity Fund for an amount of approximately EUR 162.4 million in favour of the United Kingdom – having regard to the floods there in 2007 – as well as the introduction of new budget lines and transfers between budget lines, not affecting the total amounts of the overall budget.
The establishment plan of the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex) is increased by 25 posts, from 69 to 94, having regard to the budgetary increase already made for that Agency – approximately EUR 30 million – approved during the debate on the 2008 Community budget. That Agency’s action is gradually being consolidated and it is being given competences that lie at the heart of State sovereignty. It is an Agency which, amongst other examples, lends support to ‘Fortress Europe’ and immigration policy with the accent on security promoted by the EU.
The creation of a new heading ‘Exceptional crisis expenditure’ also needs to be highlighted, although it is not clear what should be understood by ‘crisis’."@en1
