E.   Carryovers from 2007 to 2008

| 8. | Automatic carryovers to 2008 totalled EUR 225 239 332. Payments against them equalled EUR 195 250 560, or 87 % (2007: 93 %). Hence, the amount cancelled was EUR 29 988 773. The cancellations mainly concerned the following headings: article 1 4 2 ‘Outside services’ (EUR 8 879 767), item 2 0 0 1 ‘Annual lease payments’ (EUR 7 453 833) and item 1 4 0 2 ‘Conference interpreters’ (EUR 3 981 653). The reasons for cancellations are summarised below:
—
For article 1 4 2, the exact cost of translation of the verbatim reports was not known at the time when the appropriations were carried over. Moreover there was derogation for four languages: Bulgarian, Irish, Maltese and Romanian. Further cost reduction was due to the fact that Members did not apply for individual translations and that the working methods for translation were improved substantially. —
For item 2 0 0 1, the amount carried over concerned the construction of the D4/D5 (JAN/WIB) buildings. The amount included a security margin for unforeseen events at the construction site and significant price fluctuations. Such risks were foreseeable when the carry-over was conducted, but did not in fact materialise. —
For item 1 4 0 2, the foreseen recruitments of interpreters did not take place. | — | For article 1 4 2, the exact cost of translation of the verbatim reports was not known at the time when the appropriations were carried over.

| -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

F.   Appropriations from assigned revenue

| 10. | Assigned revenue made available in 2008 totalled EUR 47 551 735 (2007: EUR 42 522 401). The commitment rate was 30 % (2007: 69 %). Payments totalled EUR 10 047 463, or 71 % of commitments entered into (2007: 25 %). The balance of unpaid commitments (EUR 14 131 075 as compared to EUR 29 191 996 in 2007) and available appropriations (EUR 33 420 659 as compared with EUR 13 330 405 in 2007) were carried over to financial year 2009. Together with the appropriations carried over from previous years, total appropriations arising from assigned revenue and carried over to 2009 amounted to EUR 36 808 922. |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 11. | Assigned revenue carried over from previous years to 2008 totalled EUR 38 325 182 (2007: EUR 34 640 775). Commitments entered into totalled EUR 38 236 288 (2007: EUR 34 573 137). Payments in 2008 represented 93 % of commitments entered into (2007: 88 %). |

G.   Cancellations

| 12. | Appropriations totalling EUR 42 238 638 (2007: EUR 16 044 941) were cancelled. They amounted to 3 % of final appropriations. The higher rate of cancelled appropriations in comparison with the previous year can be explained by the fact that no general mopping-up transfer was organised in 2008. |
| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

H.1.   Transfers from the reserves (Title 10)

| 15. | This section looks at the use of appropriations from Chapter 10 0 ‘Provisional appropriations’, Chapter 10 1 ‘Contingency reserve’, Chapter 10 4 ‘Reserve for information and communication policy’ and Chapter 10 5 ‘Provisional appropriation for buildings’. These chapters, included in title 10 ‘Other expenditure’, are referred to further in this report as ‘reserves’. Title 10 ‘Other expenditure’ constituted the major source of transfers: 67 % of transfers amounting to EUR 54 210 152 came from this heading. |
| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 16. | Altogether a total of EUR 54 210 152 was transferred from provisional appropriations. Of that amount, a total of EUR 29 400 000 was transferred for the purpose of buildings policy and a total of EUR 24 810 152 for other purposes.

B.   Chapter 1 2 ‘Officials and temporary staff’

| 25. | This chapter accounted for 35 % of 2008 expenditure, constituting the largest share of the total expenditure. The 6 % increase between 2007 and 2008 in this chapter can be explained by an increase on article 1 2 0 ‘Remuneration and other entitlements’ (+6 %) due to promotions (1 %), advancement to higher step (2 %), inflation (2,5 %) and other (0,5 %). The increase on article 1 2 0 has been slightly compensated by a decrease on article 1 2 2 ‘Allowances upon early termination of service’ which can be attributed to a significantly lower number of beneficiaries following the phase-out of earlier pre-retirement regimes. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| 26. | In Chapter 1 2 around 98 % of expenditure related to item 1 2 0 0 ‘Officials and temporary staff: remuneration and allowances’. For this item commitments amounted to EUR 472 281 974. A total of 0,6 % of this amount was cancelled due to less expenditure than foreseen on the promotions exercise, impact of the new Staff Regulations, uncertainty surrounding the final outturn of new recruitments and salary adaptation below half the figure budgeted for. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 27. | In 2008, 492 vacancies were advertised. 442 vacancies were filled by officials and temporary agents for the General Secretariat and 29 for Political Groups. Altogether 5 495 officials and temporary staff were working at the European Parliament as at 31 December 2008. The General Secretariat employed 4 785 of these staff categories, Political Groups employed 640 at the end of 2008. The remaining 70 were employed by the Staff Committee, Cabinets of the President, Vice-Presidents and Quaestors. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 28. | Concerning the gender distribution of staff, women accounted for 22 % of Heads of Unit, 33 % of Directors and 27 % of Directors-General (three out of eleven) as of 31 December 2008. The breakdown of all staff by function and gender is presented in Figure 3. The distribution of staff by country is presented in Table 10. |

C.   Chapter 1 4 ‘Other staff and outside services’

| 29. | This chapter accounted for 6 % of 2008 expenditure. The 18 % decrease between 2007 and 2008 was largely due to the decrease on article 1 4 2 ‘Outside services’ which was mainly a result of the appropriations carried over from 2007 to 2008 on sub-item 1 4 0 2/01 ‘Conference interpreters: interpreters and conference technicians’ for the translation of verbatim report. The second reason was a decrease on item 1 4 0 2 ‘Conference interpreters’ mainly due to low demand for the Interpretation ad Personam service and lower recruitments of auxiliary conference interpreters (ACIs) in 2008. |
| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 30. | 53 % of the appropriations in this chapter were in item 1 4 0 2 ‘Conference interpreters’, and 24 % in item 1 4 0 0 ‘Other staff’. For item 1 4 0 2, commitments equalled EUR 46 187 820. This covers the fees, social security contributions, travel expenses and subsistence allowances of auxiliary conference interpreters used by Parliament, expenditure on conference agencies, technicians and administrators used to service the above meetings, services provided to Parliament by interpreters who are officials or temporary staff-members in other institutions, and language-related interinstitutional cooperation. Staff interpreters and ACIs delivered 96 387 days of interpretation in 2008 (+1,7 % as compared to 2007). Staff interpreters delivered 51 745 days (+6,15 %), whereas ACIs delivered 44 642 (–3,1 % as compared to 2007). |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| 31. | For item 1 4 0 0 ‘Other staff’ commitments amounted to EUR 21 270 715. This item serves essentially to finance contract and interim staff. The category of session auxiliaries, formerly also financed by this item, ceased to exist as from 1 January 2007. Item 1 4 0 0, however, still finances those who have been converted into contract staff, as well as the Manpower contract on which around 150 of the former session auxiliaries are employed. As regards contract staff, 606 were employed as of 31 December 2008. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

D.   Chapter 1 6 ‘Other expenditure relating to persons working with the Institution’

| 33. | This chapter accounted for 1 % of 2008 expenditure. Committed appropriations in this chapter increased by 23 % between 2007 and 2008 owing to an increase on item 1 6 5 2 ‘Current operating expenditure for restaurants and canteens’. |
| --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 34. | In this chapter 31 % came from item 1 6 5 4 ‘Early Childhood Centre and approved day nurseries’, 27 % from item 1 6 1 2 ‘Further training’ and 15 % from item 1 6 5 2 ‘Current operating expenditure for restaurants and canteens’. |
| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 35. | Sub-item 1 6 5 4/01 ‘Early Childhood Centre and approved day nurseries: outside management of Parliament's day nursery and family room in Brussels and ancillary expenditure’ constitutes the major sub-item in item 1 6 5 4. The committed appropriation of this sub-item totalled EUR 3 892 927. This appropriation is intended to cover Parliament’s contribution to all the expenditure of the early childhood centre and outside crèches with which an agreement has been concluded. On this item an amount of EUR 2 686 403 was cancelled owing to lower than expected use of the facilities. |
| --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 36. | For item 1 6 1 2 committed appropriations amounted to EUR 3 429 683. These appropriations covered expenditure relating to further professional training and retraining courses, to the purchase or production of teaching materials and of specific studies and to professional training courses which raise awareness about matters concerning equal opportunities and careers advice. In 2008 there were 5 014 participants in language courses and 356 participants in external language courses. Moreover 1 756 people took part in IT courses and 943 in financial training courses. There were in addition 67 participants in courses at the European School of Administration, 3 601 in internal training courses and 179 participants in external courses. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| 37. | For item 1 6 5 2 commitments amounted to EUR 1 900 000. This item finances restaurant and canteen operating costs. Self-service restaurants catered for around 1 300 000 visitors, the staff shop for around 200 000 and restaurants for around 100 000. |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

E.   Chapter 2 0 ‘Buildings and associated costs’

| 38. | This chapter accounted for 14 % of 2008 expenditure. As compared with the previous year expenditure remained rather stable since the decrease on item 2 0 0 1 ‘Annual lease payments’ was compensated by an increase on items 2 0 0 7 ‘Fitting-out of premises’ (+ 115 %), 2 0 0 8 ‘Other expenditure on buildings’ (+37 %) and 2 0 2 4 ‘Energy consumption’ (+36 %). Appropriations were reallocated to finance the repairs following the incident of the collapsed ceiling in the Strasbourg Chamber of the Parliament as explained below. |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 39. | In this chapter, 21 % of the spending concerned item 2 0 0 7 ‘Fitting-out of premises’, 19 % concerned the item 2 0 2 6 ‘Security and surveillance of buildings’, 16 % concerned 2 0 2 2 ‘Cleaning and maintenance’, and 14 % concerned item 2 0 0 0 ‘Rent’. The distribution is shown in Figure 5. |
| --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Figure 5

Distribution of expenditure in chapter 2 0 in %

| 40. | For item 2 0 0 7 the committed appropriations equalled EUR 39 423 667. The appropriations were used for fitting-out work, including other expenditure connected with that work, in particular architects’ or engineers’ fees, etc. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 41. | In August 2008 a part of the suspended ceiling in the Strasbourg Chamber of the European Parliament collapsed. This substantially affected the expenditure on item 2 0 0 7 and hence the substantial increase of 115 %. The Parliament’s Administration managed the consequences of the incident efficiently and effectively and the necessary budgetary means were made available at short notice. Altogether an amount of EUR 8 812 631 was mobilised through transfers in 2008 for the necessary repair works. At the same time, the European Parliament initiated legal action for the reimbursement of the costs and responsible parties were taken to court. The October plenary session was held in Strasbourg as usual. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 42. | For item 2 0 2 6 ‘Security and surveillance of buildings’ the commitments came to EUR 36 422 043. This appropriation is intended to cover essentially the costs of caretaking and surveillance in respect of buildings occupied by Parliament at its three habitual places of work and at the information offices. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| 43. | For item 2 0 2 2 the committed appropriations equalled EUR 30 150 078. The appropriations were used for cleaning and maintenance in Parliament’s three usual places of work as well as in the Information Offices. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| 44. | For item 2 0 0 0 the committed appropriations equalled EUR 26 492 837. The appropriations were used for rent for the buildings or parts of buildings occupied by Parliament and property taxes. |
| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

F.   Chapter 2 1 ‘Data processing, equipment and furniture: purchase, hire and maintenance’

| 45. | This chapter accounted for 8 % of 2008 expenditure. The increase on item 2 1 0 2 ‘Outside assistance in connection with the operation, development and maintenance of software systems’ (+19 %) was compensated by a decrease on article 2 1 4 ‘Technical equipment and installations’ (–35 %) and article 2 1 2 ‘Furniture’ (–17 %), comparing 2007 and 2008 financial years. In this chapter 38 % of the expenditure comes from item 2 1 0 0 ‘Purchase, servicing and maintenance of equipment and software, and related work’, 35 % from item 2 1 0 2 ‘Outside assistance in connection with the operation, development and maintenance of software systems’ and 19 % from article 2 1 4 ‘Technical equipment and installations’. The breakdown is shown in Figure 6 below. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| 46. | For item 2 1 0 0 committed appropriations amounted to EUR 43 031 348. This appropriation covered mainly expenditure on the purchase, hire, servicing and maintenance of equipment and software for the institution, and related work. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 47. | For item 2 1 0 2 commitments equalled EUR 38 968 197. They principally covered expenditure on the purchase, hire, servicing and maintenance of equipment and software for the institution, and related work. This equipment and software relates mainly to systems at the data-processing and telecommunications centre, computing at departmental level and in the Political Groups and the electronic voting system. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 48. | For article 2 1 4 ‘Technical equipment and installations’ commitments amounted to EUR 21 121 778. This covered the purchase, hire, maintenance and repair of technical equipment and installations, and in particular of:
—
miscellaneous fixed and mobile technical installations and equipment in connection with publishing, archiving, security, canteens and buildings, etc., —
equipment in particular for the printshop, archives, telephone service, canteens, staff shops, security, conferences, the audiovisual sector, etc., —
installation of two additional telephone lines in Members’ offices upon request. | — | miscellaneous fixed and mobile technical installations and equipment in connection with publishing, archiving, security, canteens and buildings, etc., | — | equipment in particular for the printshop, archives, telephone service, canteens, staff shops, security, conferences, the audiovisual sector, etc., | — | installation of two additional telephone lines in Members’ offices upon request. |

| 49. | Data storage capacity and processing power almost tripled in the period concerned. End of 2007 the storage capacity amounted to 193 000 gigabytes (GB) whereas end of 2008 it increased to 584 000 GB. As regards processing power, the capacity of the central computing facility to process a given amount of data in a given time increased by 10 % as compared to the previous year. Furthermore, to ensure the security of information systems, the number of patches tested and integrated in the network, the servers, the software and the workstations almost tripled from 353 at the end of 2007 to 899 at the end of 2008. |

G.   Chapter 2 3 ‘Current administrative expenditure’

| 50. | This chapter accounted for 1 % of 2008 expenditure. The 14 % decrease in this chapter between 2007 and 2008 was mainly due to lower spending for article 2 3 0 ‘Stationery, office supplies and miscellaneous consumables’ and article 2 3 5 ‘Telecommunications’, mostly concerning charges for telematic services (subscriptions, communications charges and operation of data transmission networks). The decrease was partly compensated by an increase on article 2 3 2 ‘Legal costs and damages’. 54 % of the expenditure in this chapter came from article 2 3 5 ‘Telecommunications’ and 17 % from article 2 3 0 ‘Stationery, office supplies and miscellaneous consumables’. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

H.   Chapter 3 0 ‘Meetings and conferences’

| 51. | This chapter accounted for 2 % of 2008 expenditure. The appropriations in 2008 were 5 % lower than in 2007. This was due to decreased expenditure on article 3 0 0 ‘Staff mission expenses’ for part-sessions, committees or their delegations, political groups and miscellaneous. For this article 8,6 % of initial appropriations were cancelled as a consequence of number of mission-days being 16 154 lower than the initial estimates (2 sessions in September) and of the non-payment, since September 2008, of the flat-rate allowance for nights before and after the mission. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 52. | 79 % of the chapter’s appropriations are intended for article 3 0 0 ‘Staff mission expenses’. The commitments on this item came to EUR 22 000 000. They covered, in relation to missions undertaken by staff of the institution and seconded national experts, expenditure on transport costs, the payment of daily mission allowances and the ancillary or exceptional expenses incurred in the performance of a mission, including ancillary costs relating to tickets and reservations. There were 28 480 missions (journeys) in 2008 covering 83 424 days: Most of the missions were between Parliament’s three places of work (Brussels: 5 436 missions, Strasbourg 17 162 missions and Luxembourg 2 161 missions). |

I.   Chapter 3 2 ‘Expertise and information: acquisition, archiving, production and dissemination’

| 53. | This chapter accounted for 7 % of 2008 expenditure. The 38 % increase between 2007 and 2008 in this chapter concerns largely an increase on item 3 2 4 2 ‘Expenditure on publication, information and participation in public events’ (+ 139 %), 3 2 4 6 ‘Parliamentary television channel (Web TV)’ (+ 614 %) and 3 2 4 8 ‘Expenditure on audiovisual information’ (+34 %). The increase is due to the information campaign for the European elections in 2009. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 54. | 29 % of this chapter’s appropriations relate to item 3 2 4 2 ‘Expenditure on publication, information and participation in public events’, 27 % relate to item 3 2 4 4 ‘Organisation and reception of groups of visitors, Euroscola programme and invitations to opinion multipliers from third countries’ and 13 % concern item 3 2 4 8 ‘Expenditure on audiovisual information’. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 55. | The breakdown is shown in Figure 7. |

—
the operating budget of the audiovisual sector (including services under its own control and outside assistance such as technical services for radio and television stations, provision, production and co-production of audiovisual programmes, the hiring of lines, the transmission of television and radio programmes, and other measures to develop relations between the institution and audiovisual broadcasting bodies), —
expenditure on live Internet broadcasting of plenary sittings and parliamentary committee meetings, —

J.   Chapter 4 0 ‘Expenditure relating to certain institutions and bodies’

| 59. | This chapter accounted for 5 % of 2008 expenditure. The increase of 19 % on this chapter between 2007 and 2008 related mainly to article 4 0 0 ‘Current administrative expenditure and expenditure relating to the political and information activities of the Political Groups and non-attached Members’ (+14 %) and article 4 0 3 ‘Contributions to European Political Foundations’. For article 4 0 3 the appropriations were assigned in 2008 for the first time. |
| --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 60. | As regards the increase on article 4 0 0, the Bureau assigned an additional amount of EUR 6 000 000 to finance the Political Groups and non-attached Members. The appropriations were intended for the information campaign for the 2009 European elections. Article 4 0 0 amounts to 80 % of the appropriations on chapter 4 0. Commitments for this article totalled EUR 57 266 607. |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 61. | Concerning article 4 0 3, Regulation (EC) No 1524/2007 of the European Parliament and the Council of 18 December 2007 amending Regulation (EC) No 2004/2003 on the regulations governing political parties at European level and the rules regarding their funding entered into force at the end of 2007. Since the legal bases for financing the European political foundations were met, an amount of EUR 5 000 000 was released from the chapter 10 0 ‘Provisional appropriations’. |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

K.   Chapter 4 2 ‘Expenditure relating to parliamentary assistance’

| 62. | This chapter accounted for 11 % of 2008 expenditure. The committed appropriations increased by 8 % between 2007 and 2008. The increase can be explained by inflation and by the decision taken in October 2007 by the plenary to increase the appropriations for the recruitment and employment of one or more assistants. The increase amounted to EUR 1 000 per month per Member. |
| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 63. | Article 4 2 2 ‘Parliamentary assistance’ accounted for 100 % of this chapter’s commitment appropriations. Committed appropriations for this article amounted to EUR 154 301 747. |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

L.   Chapter 4 4 ‘Meetings and other activities of current and former Members’

| 64. | This chapter accounted for 0,02 % of the expenditure. The committed appropriations increased by 14 % between 2007 and 2008 as a result of an increase on article 4 4 0. Article 4 4 0 ‘Cost of meetings and other activities of former Members’ accounted for 52 % of the expenditure under this chapter. Committed appropriations equalled EUR 130 000. Article 4 4 2 ‘Cost of meetings and other activities of the European Parliamentary Association’ accounted for 48 % of the expenditure under this chapter. Committed appropriations equalled EUR 121 300. |
| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

M.   Title 10 ‘Other expenditure’

| 65. | For chapters belonging to this title, the appropriations can be committed only following a transfer as discussed in part 1 of the report. The initial appropriations in this title amounted to EUR 56 290 152, some 4 % of the total initial appropriations. The unused balance came to EUR 2 080 000, around 0,1 % of the total final appropriations in 2008. |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 67. | The results presented below are based on the annual activity reports of authorising officers by delegation for 2008. The results refer to the period 1 January 2008-31 December 2008 (period concerned). For a fuller picture of the activity of the EP Directorates-General, the annual activity reports should be consulted. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

A.   Preparation for the Lisbon Treaty

| 68. | This objective concerned preparation for changes in legislative and budgetary procedures, strengthening Parliament’s role in EU external relations and the in-house reform. A technical-administrative Task-Force was set up by the Secretary-General to prepare the Secretariat for entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty. The Task Force dealt with consequences of procedural changes (legislative procedures, comitology), adaptation of the Rules of Procedure, impact of the subsidiarity check by national parliaments and global logistical issues. Nonetheless, following the ‘no’ vote in Ireland, preparations for implementation of the Lisbon Treaty were placed on hold. |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 69. | Parliament remained an important player in EU external relations. During the period under consideration meetings were held with representatives from all over the world. Furthermore, the EP cooperated with international organisations such as: the World Trade Organisation, the World Bank, the Pan-African Parliament, the United Nations and the Fifth Asia-Europe Parliamentary Partnership (ASEP V). Parliament also participated in election observation missions. |

| 70. | The results of the in-house reform are further discussed under point D. |

B.   Preparing the 2009 European elections

| 71. | The objective with regard to the 2009 European elections was to help reverse the voter turnout trend. |
| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 72. | Concerning information for citizens about Parliament’s activity and achievements, the European elections were the core of the information policy. The following projects were being realised: production and installation of Multimedia Blue Box, billboards and external installations in three dimensions. In addition, the projects: Pan European Countdown, Unusual Polling Stations, online communication campaign, TV and radio spots, production of PR material and purchase of space for online, radio and outdoor campaigns were prepared. Furthermore, the Eurobarometer survey on the Parliament, including the topic of the 2009 elections, was published in March 2008. Parliament was involved in preparation of this survey. The delegations undertaken by the parliamentary committees outside the three places of work increased public awareness of parliamentary work and strengthened the relationship between elected representatives and citizens. As regards committees’ delegations within the EU, 62 of the 95 authorised for 2008 (annual programme for committee delegations plus those of the Temporary Committee on Climate Change (CLIM) and the High-level Group on Cyprus) took place. |

| 73. | The Parliament also organised and participated in several events. It hosted the 9th Energy Globe Awards with participants from 109 countries. The Energy Globes reward local and regional projects that contribute to energy conservation, environmental protection, or the supply of basic resources such as water and electricity to remote and poor communities. A second citizens’ Agora, this time on climate change, was organised. In this context, the EP invited 500 representatives of European civil society and hosted an exhibition of Yann Arthus-Bertrand photographs. The event aimed to facilitate the exchange of opinions and ideas between Members and citizens and to create the framework for a fruitful dialogue. The ‘Open Doors Day’ at the beginning of June attracted 20 000 visitors. Six publications were prepared for the 50th anniversary of the European Parliament. In 2008 major events such as the Lux Prize for Cinema, the Journalism Prize, the Charlemagne Prize, and the European Media Days took place. Additionally, an African week and an Arab week were organised in the framework of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. |

| 74. | EuroparlTV was launched. It operates 24 hours a day in 20 languages. More than 70 hours of programmes were produced. EuroparlTV constitutes the most important instrument in the information campaign for the European elections. |
| --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

C.   Stepping-up services for Members

| 75. | This objective relates to the new Statute for Members, filling vacant posts for staff from the new Member States, language services, the analytical service within the Library, individual interpretation for Members and better provision of information on the various services available to them. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

C.1.   Statute for Members

| 76. | Concerning the Statute for Members, the development of new IT applications as well as call for tenders concerning insurance and third parties were arranged. For the category of local parliamentary assistants all the necessary procedures for the selection of paying agents in each Member State were prepared. In the implementing measures of the Statute, the chapter concerning parliamentary assistants foresees two possible employment systems. Firstly, the accredited parliamentary assistants in the three places of work under the European Staff Regulations and secondly the local assistants under the national employment system. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

C.2.   Filling vacant posts for staff from the new Member States

| 77. | As far as filling the remaining ‘enlargement’ posts is concerned, the recruitment rate of staff from EU-10( 9 ) Member States stood at 94,4 % as of 31 December 2008. The rate has slightly decreased in 2008, since some members of staff occupying enlargement posts have moved to other, non-enlargement posts in the Parliament or to other institutions. The integration of new staff from Bulgaria and Romania proceeded swiftly, with 92,3 % of the posts earmarked for the EU-2( 10 ) enlargement filled by the end of 2008. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| 78. | The detailed breakdown by country for both enlargements is shown below: |

C.3.   Language services

| 79. | As far as interpretation services and organisation of meetings for Members are concerned, 1 357 meetings in Brussels and 1 094 meetings in Strasbourg took place with interpretation. As regards interpretation software support, the new version of the programme to notify interpreters about meetings by telephone became operational in 2008. Moreover, the pilot project ‘Interpretation Ad Personam’ (IAP) was set up to provide individual interpretation services to ‘rapporteurs’ in legislative or budgetary procedures. Up to December 2008, IAP was used 48 times. There were also 4 620 meetings without interpretation in Brussels and 1 630 in Strasbourg. In addition 32 meetings of Political Groups were prepared outside the EP three places of work. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| 80. | Concerning translation, about 1 540 000 pages were translated in the period concerned, excluding the translation of verbatim report(1 120 000 pages in 2007), hence an increase of 34 %. As regards translation deadlines, more than 90 % of documents were delivered within 10 days and 10 % within a day. In spite of their workload, the translation units conducted random controls of the quality of external translations. 1 970 such checks took place on a total of 9 850 pages. 1 809 of the translations checked were of acceptable quality. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

C.4.   General services

| 81. | General services for Members were also developed. As regards external expertise in the field of EU internal policies, policy departments organised 46 workshops with experts. Moreover, they commissioned external expertise in 343 instances. 154 guests (out of the annual quota of 256) were invited to 66 hearings. Additionally, 41 petitioners were invited to the meetings of the Committee on Petitions. Nine experts participated in a preparatory meeting of the four sessions of the Monetary Dialogue. There have been 40 instances where experts have been invited to deliver a briefing paper to these sessions. The policy departments and the Scientific Technology Options Assessment unit (STOA) also provided Members and committees with a high number of different kinds of external expertise. Within the STOA programme, six studies and two opinions were commissioned. Additionally, 11 workshops were organised with 22 experts invited. |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

D.   Reform and consolidation of EP General Secretariat

| 82. | This objective included major restructuring of the EP General Secretariat, applying the staff consolidation plan, promoting Parliament as an open and inclusive institution, simplifying administration, pursuing the property policy, improving budgetary forecasts, complying with Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and reducing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). |
| --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 83. | The Secretariat was reorganised at the beginning of 2008. The Directorate-General for the Presidency (DG PRES) gained two new directorates: the Library Directorate (formerly part of the Directorate-General for Information, DG INFO) and the Directorate for Relations with National Parliaments (formerly part of the Directorate-General for Internal Policies, DG IPOL). The Directorate-General for Innovation and Technological Support (DG ITEC) was formed from the Directorate for Information Technologies (DIT), which was formerly part of DG PRES, and the Publishing Directorate in the former Directorate-General for Translation and Publishing (DG TRED). DG TRED became the Directorate-General for Translation (DG TRAD). The Directorate-General for Information (DG INFO) became the Directorate-General for Communication (DG COMM). The former Directorate-General for Infrastructure and Interpretation (DG IFIN) was split between the Directorate-General for Infrastructure and Logistics (DG INLO) and the Directorate-General for Interpretation and Conferences (DG INTE). DG FINS gained a new directorate: the Directorate for Members’ Social and Financial Entitlements. The new organisation of the EP is presented in Annex IV. |
| --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 84. | Following the restructuring of the General Secretariat, various IT applications were adapted. Moreover, multi-DG support (MUST) replaced a single-DG support to achieve a synergy effect. It serves the Private Offices of the President and of the Secretary General, the Legal Service, the Staff Committee and the Internal Auditor, as well as the Ombudsman and the European Data Protection Supervisor on top of serving both DG for Innovation and Technological Support (ITEC) and DG for Presidency (PRES). Additionally, Intranet websites have been adapted to the new structure of the Secretariat-General. |
| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 85. | With a view to simplifying administrative and financial procedures, proposals to revise Parliament’s Internal Rules for Implementation of its Budget and Parliament’s Rules of Procedure were drafted. Furthermore, the Working Group for Administrative Simplification analysed Parliament’s management and submitted its conclusions with simplification proposals to the Secretary-General. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 86. | Parliament pursued its property policy in 2008. The policy for the establishment of information offices is that the European Parliament’s and the European Commission’s offices should be together in ‘Europe Houses’ and that, where possible, the opportunities to buy rather than rent should be exploited. In 2008 the building for a Europe House in London was purchased. It was one of the two remaining capital cities where no Europe House had been established. |
| --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| 87. | Parliament was awarded an ‘International standard for environmental management systems’ EN/ISO 14001:2004 certificate for its three main working sites in 2007. It is the first European institution to have received the certificate for all its technical and administrative activities. The institution reduced its gas and fuel consumption by almost 25 % over the last three years. It decided to use 100 % green electricity in its three main places of work, while more than 50 % of all waste is recycled, composted, or reused. The EP’s decision to use green electricity at all three of its main places of work made it possible to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 17 %. Parliament aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 30 % by 2020. In 2008 an external study on its carbon footprint was conducted. The study identified an implementation sequence of CO2 reduction opportunities and consequently a ‘carbon footprint’ action plan was approved. Moreover, through introduction of a Thalys train link between Brussels and Strasbourg since July 2008, lower CO2 emissions will be achieved as railway transport will replace some flights. The videoconference service between the three places of work and with the information offices was used more often. Last but not least, in the framework of the institution’s mobility plan, staff were encouraged to use more public transport through the ‘Eurobus’ scheme in Brussels and ‘Jobkaart’ in Luxembourg. |
| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

In conclusion, the European Parliament can be seen to have achieved the main objectives set by its Secretary-General for 2008.
