Předběžný návrh rozpočtu (PNR) Komise na rozpočtový rok 2006 zveřejnila Evropská komise dne 29. dubna 2005.
The Commission published preliminary draft budget (PDB) for the 2006 financial year on 29 April 2005.
Avšak z pohledu postupu při prvním čtení je pro tento návrh stanoviska východiskem návrh rozpočtu (NR) na rok 2006, který přijala Rada dne 15. července 2005, a to proto, aby kolegové z Hospodářského a měnového výboru (ECON) mohli pracovat s nejaktuálnějšími částkami tak, jak je přijala Rada.
However, as far as the procedure on first reading is concerned, this draft opinion takes as its point of departure the 2006 draft budget (DB) which was adopted by the Council on 15 July 2005 so that the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) can work with the latest figures as adopted by the Council.
Správní výdaje v oblasti politiky „Hospodářské a finanční věci“ (rozpočtová položka 01 01 01)
Administrative expenditure of economic and financial affairs policy area (budget heading 01 01 01)
Vaše navrhovatelka s uspokojením konstatuje, že v PNR došlo oproti roku 2005 k 13% zvýšení prostředků určených na výdaje na zaměstnance v činné službě, lituje však, že toto zvýšení je nízké ve srovnání s částkami v jiných oblastech politiky, např. v komunikaci ohledně hospodářské měnové unie (HMU).
Your draftswoman notes with satisfaction in the PDB a 13% increase over 2005 in the appropriations set aside for expenditure on active staff, while regretting the fact that the increase in question falls short of the figures recorded in other policy areas such as the communication on economic and monetary union (EMU).
S politováním konstatuje, že Rada snížila tuto částku o 4,2 %, což ve výsledku znamená zvýšení pouze o 7,5 % oproti roku 2005.
She deplores the fact that the Council has reduced this figure by 4.2%, which means an increase of only 7.5% over 2005.
Toto snížení uplatnila Rada ve svém NR obecně u všech oddělení Komise.
This reduction was carried out across the board in the Commission departments by the Council in its draft budget.
Vaše navrhovatelka se nicméně domnívá, že je naprosto nezbytné, aby oddělení Komise měla k dispozici odpovídající zdroje, které jim umožní plnit úkoly, které jim byly v této oblasti svěřeny.
However, your draftswoman believes it is essential that the Commission services have available adequate resources to discharge the tasks entrusted to them in this area.
Proto vaše navrhovatelka navrhuje jako kompromisní řešení zvýšit prostředky na rok 2006 alespoň o 10 %.
She accordingly suggests by way of compromise an increase of at least 10% in the appropriations for 2006.
Koordinace a dohled nad hospodářskou a měnovou unií (rozpočtová položka 01 02 02)
Coordination and surveillance of economic and monetary union (budget heading 01 02 02)
Vaše navrhovatelka vítá zvýšení v této rozpočtové položce (o 7 %), které navrhuje Komise a které Rada přijala.
Your draftswoman welcomes the increase (7%) under this budget heading which was proposed by the Commission and accepted by the Council.
Je nezbytně nutné, aby ti, kteří přijímají politická rozhodnutí, a veřejné mínění měli k dispozici kvalitní analýzy, a mohli tak účinně kontrolovat vývoj evropské ekonomiky.
It is essential that political decision-makers and public opinion have available high-quality analyses in order to be able to monitor effectively developments in the European economy.
Ještě důležitější je to po přistoupení deseti nových členských zemí v roce 2004 a jsou zapotřebí ekonomické analýzy pro Evropskou unii s dvaceti pěti, nikoli s patnácti členskými státy.
This is all the more important after the accession of ten new Member States in 2004 with the need for economic analyses for a European Union of 25 and no longer just 15.
Prince – Komunikace ohledně hospodářské a měnové unie, včetně eura (rozpočtová položka 01 02 04)
Prince - communication on economic and monetary union, including the euro (budget heading 01 02 04)
Vaše navrhovatelka nemůže souhlasit s drastickým snížením (o 20 %), které v této rozpočtové položce provedla Rada, a táže se po skutečných důvodech tohoto snížení.
Your draftswoman cannot accept the drastic reduction (20%) made by the Council to this budget heading and wonders about the real reasons for this cut.
Navrhuje proto změnu, která obnoví položky plateb a závazků na rok 2006 ve výši, kterou původně stanovila Komise (zvýšení o 25 % oproti roku 2005).
She therefore suggests an amendment which would seek to reinstate the payment and commitment appropriations for 2006 at the level initially foreseen by the Commission (25% compared with 2005).
Toto zvýšení je nutné, protože program PRINCE a jeho informační kampaně o HMU a euru jsou nástrojem, který je pro eurozónu životně důležitý.
This increase is necessary because the Prince programme and its information campaigns about EMU and the euro are a vital instrument for the euro zone.
Jsou nutné nové kampaně v nových členských státech, některé z těchto států jsou již v pokročilém stadiu příprav na vstup do eurozóny.
New campaigns are necessary in the new Member States, some of which are at an advanced stage of preparation with a view to their entry into the euro zone.
Parlament nedávno podpořil tuto politiku v Maatenově zprávě o komunikační strategii o euru.
Parliament recently supported this policy in the Maaten report on the communication strategy for the euro.
Program pro podniky: zlepšení finančního prostředí pro MSP (rozpočtová položka 01 04 05)
Programme for enterprises: improvement of the financial environment for SMEs (budget heading 01 04 05)
