Draft supplementary and amending budget 2004 (1)

(Additional posts for the increased counter terrorism activities)

(2004/C 181/01)

I. BACKGROUND

Following the discussion in the Management Board on 1 and 2 April 2004 on the required increase in
Europol's counter terrorism activities, this document provides an overview of the necessary human
resources in order to fulfil these activities. These new posts will be financed by way of a budget transfer
from Article 611 within the 2004 budget.

II. THE PROPOSAL

This Draft Supplementary and Amending Budget (SAB) 2004 contains the allocation of new posts as
provided in the Annex in accordance with Article 14(2) and Article 16 of the Financial Regulation.

The purpose of this SAB is to increase the number of posts in the establishment plan from 331 to 349
in order to allow Europol to undertake increased activities in the area of counter terrorism.

A key element in the activities of Europol is the processing of information received from the Member
States and subsequently providing them with the results, as a means to instigate and support executive
measures arising from this. It is the expectation that there will be a significant increase in this flow of
information; therefore, all of the additional Europol staff will be formally allocated to the Analysis Unit,
which can be seen in the table below.

The Joint Declaration on Protocol 3 on ACP Sugar to the
ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (1) provides
that any
request
from an African, Caribbean or Pacific (ACP)
State Contracting Party to the Convention not specifically
referred to in that Protocol to participate in its provisions
shall be examined.

Burkina Faso is an ACP State Contracting Party to the
ACP-EC Partnership Agreement and it
requested in
November 2000 to participate in the provisions of the
said Protocol.

In a letter of 30 September 2002,
the ACP States
signified their assent to the accession of Burkina Faso
to the said Protocol.

An examination of

shown that the country is not a net exporter of sugar
and is not capable of exporting sugar on a permanent
basis.

It is appropriate to transmit this conclusion to Burkina
Faso by letter,

ANNEX

Brussels,

Your Excellency,

I have the honour to refer to your letter dated 8 November 2000 requesting accession to the Protocol on ACP sugar. In
conformity with the Joint Declaration annexed to the Protocol on ACP sugar the European Community has examined
your request and has come to the conclusion that Burkina Faso is at present not in a position to fulfil on a permanent
basis the obligations of the Protocol. In previous cases, the capacity to fulfil these obligations was defined by the fact that
the country in question was a net exporter of sugar.

I regret therefore that the Community cannot accept Burkina Faso's request to join the Sugar Protocol.

A copy of this letter is sent to the Secretary General of the ACP States.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurance of my highest consideration.

On behalf of the Council of the European Union
