Translation of "Operationelle ausgaben" in English

When referring to budgetary imbalances, the Commission, for presentational purposes, will base itself on operational expenditure.

In addition, the meetings with shipping industry experts may entail some operational expenditure.

Operational expenditure is foreseen within the part of the LIFE+ budget subject to central direct management.

I had already voted in favour of this facility in the Committee on Budgets in the context of the budgetary procedure for 2010, through which two new budget lines were created, one for operational expenses in the sum of EUR 37.5 million and the other for administrative expenses in the sum of EUR 0.25 million.

The second major reform under discussion in the Commission is the shift to an activity-based budgeting seeking to enhance cost-consciousness and presenting operational expenditure in the same global context.

As far as the ABB is concerned, on the basis of whose activities the budget is established, we recall that it presupposes an amendment of Article 19 of the Financial Regulation, which establishes the distinction between Part A (administrative appropriations) and Part B (operating appropriations). As a result, the Commission must ensure that it does not call into question Parliament' s powers with respect to the allocation of resources.

I hope that we can at least agree on the principle, namely that operational expenditure belongs in category 3 and administrative expenditure in category 5.

They are mushrooming and have ever greater budgetary implications because this is not only about operational expenditure; this is about expenditure of a more bureaucratic nature.

However, it just so happens that the Council is taking on an increasing number of operational activities in its budget, and this is why, slowly but surely, a kind of shadow Commission is being formed - a second institution where European policy is being executed.

According to this Communication, Greek indicators concerning entrepreneurial expenditure on R&D, access to the internet, lifelong learning and public spending on education are the lowest of all the Member States.

It is true, as the honourable Member says in his question, that Greece's indicators on matters such as entrepreneurial expenditure on research and development, access to the Internet, lifelong learning and public spending on education are lower than those of other Member States.

The revenue will be allocated to the items for expenditure on the five programmes in question and, where appropriate, to the relevant items of operating expenditure.

The revenue will be allocated to the items for expenditure on the programme in question and, where appropriate, to the relevant items of operating expenditure.

The report on the Reform of the Management of External Assistance proposes "to add a commentary to Heading 4 budget lines where justified (…) to allow a percentage for operating expenditure connected with programme management by the Commission departments including staff costs and expenditure on equipment".

The remaining 96% is allocated to the operational budget which is implemented by the Commission and includes agriculture, the structural Funds, research and a range of other policies.

In accordance with point 75 of the conclusions of the 1999 European Council in Berlin,‘When referring to budgetary imbalances, the Commission, for presentational purposes, will base itself on operating expenditure’. As for the calculation of the UK correction, it is not the actual ‘national contribution’ of Member States (i.e. own resources payments, excluding TOR) but the related allocation key, i.e. each Member State’s share in total ‘national contributions’ which is used for the calculation of operating budgetary balances.

The respective share of each type of expenditure on operations is set out in Figure 9.

They would more appropriately come under the heading of operational expenditure.

Light the operating expenses are increased also mainly because not recurrent burdens.

It is proposed that less than 10 % of the operating budget be spent on calls for tenders.

Increased operational spending will also be promoted, with corresponding reductions in administrative spending.

Expenditure incurred under the operational programme shall be supported by proof of payment.

In a totally incoherent way, the Treaty first of all reaffirms the obviously intergovernmental nature of the CFSP, and then creates a Community competence with regard to the funding of the operating expenditure of the CFSP out of nothing, thus reversing the economy of the Treaty of Maastricht.

Firstly, the entering of this operating expenditure as administrative expenditure of the Council both confuses the nature of the expenditure and removes the possibility of democratic control over it, specifically by Parliament, which, in practice, is thus giving up its budgetary power.

Article 49(2) of the new financial regulation, approved last year, lays down that, except in relation to institutional prerogatives, pilot projects, preparatory actions and operational appropriations for each institution, all other operational expenses will require a basic instrument for their execution.

This does not necessarily make the budget easier reading when, for example, we have 215 activities instead of the distinction previously made between administrative and operational expenditure.

May I also ask the Council to ensure that increases in operational expenditure on the common foreign and security policy are not slipped in under the heading of administrative expenditure.

In foreign policy - which was addressed earlier - the question arises of how democratic control and discussion of operational expenditure under the common foreign and security policy will take place in future.

This is also related, as you all know, to a set of horizontal amendments, in other words, amendments that cover the whole budget proposed by the Committee on Budgets, and which are designed to provide an real reduction in the RAL, greater speed in making payments and also increased operational spending rather than administrative spending.

Fourthly, we must have greater clarity in financing the CFSP - particularly the difference between administrative and operational expenditure.

These amendments simply introduce the principle of transparency, which has traditionally been upheld by Parliament, prior notification of the budgetary authority and the obligation to draw up a budget distinguishing between operating appropriations and administrative appropriations.

For a start, we have to ensure that the military element of operational expenditure on peacekeeping and crisis management has a fixed place in the European Union's regular Budget and that we in Parliament get full powers of codecision.

This will clearly separate operational expenditure, administrative costs and responsibility for implementation for each policy area.
