European Parliament
Agnès Le Brun  (PPE ),
in writing.

The adoption of guidelines by means of a resolution constitutes the first stage of the budget adoption procedure. All the institutions are affected, apart from the Commission. Parliament’s budget is the largest of all the other institutions. The second stage will be the March vote on a resolution presenting specific estimates. During this time of crisis, and given the need to reduce our public spending, I supported the adoption of these guidelines stipulating that, like the Commission’s administrative budget, that of Parliament and the other institutions should be frozen, in other words, simply indexed to inflation.
