European Parliament
Nuno Melo  (PPE ),
in writing.
(PT)
The institutions, in the context of continued challenging economic circumstances, should freeze their administrative budgets. However, there is a need to respect legally binding obligations and possible subsequent increases. The institutions should reinforce their interinstitutional cooperation, with a view to sharing best practices, looking for savings and thus modernising their policies on human resources, organisation, technology and buildings. All institutions should therefore seek to make further savings, with a view to maintaining budgetary discipline and to freezing their budgets, whilst bearing in mind legal obligations and new financial challenges, such as Croatia’s accession.
