"I voted for this report, given that all available indicators point this year to a shortage in payments in many areas of EU intervention. This is notably because, once again, the Budgetary Authority agreed for 2012 on a lower level of payments compared to the one proposed by the Commission (more than EUR 3 billion less than the Commission’s initial draft budget). Moreover, the Council unilaterally decided to lower by more than two thirds the level of the EUR 485 million transfer (DEC 9/2012) to the research area, despite urgent requirements in terms of payments. Accordingly, payment appropriations of more than EUR 338 million are left on budget lines where they cannot be spent. Since, on the expenditure side (EUR 0.73 billion), under implementation did not result from absorption difficulties or mismanagement by the Commission, but from the rules in force for adjusting the repartition of payments in line with the needs in the last weeks of the financial year, this amount should legitimately go back to the EU budget, as some carry-over of unspent appropriations."@en1
