The European Parliament and the Commission recall that Activity-Based Management (ABM) is to offer an
integrated view of the performance and cost of the various policy areas including both operational and
administrative resources.

The two Institutions agree to take the necessary steps with regard to improving the monitoring of budget
implementation through a process using all available information as from January 2007 to which all
committees of the European Parliament will be associated. The European Parliament undertakes to make
better use of transfers and amending budgets as instruments to scrutinise budget implementation during the
year in respect of Parliament's priorities and its inter-institutional prerogatives.

The results of this ongoing process will be the subject of exchange of views in each trialogue foreseen in
Annex II of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006.

This exercise aims to ensure that policies financed by the EU budget deliver better value for money to
European citizens and respond to the challenges which the European Union faces through the best possible
allocation of EU funds.

Declaration of the European Parliament on budgetary discipline for
payments

The European Parliament recalls that Points 12 and 13 of the IIA of 17 May 2006 set absolute amounts,
representing, annual ceilings on expenditure under the general budgets, in the context of the multi-annual
financial framework.

Therefore, the respect of the annual ceilings fixed by the multi-annual financial framework 2007-2013
constitutes an automatic acceptance of the rates of increase for non-compulsory expenditure in the annual
budgets.

If Points 12 and 13 of the IIA are not respected, the European Parliament will consider this as a violation of
the IIA.

The European Parliament undertakes to implement the provisions of Points 12 and 13 of the IIA as a
measure of budgetary discipline for the entire duration of the multi-annual financial framework.
