European Parliament
Philippe Juvin  (PPE ),
in writing.
(FR)
The report by Ms Balzani notes a budget surplus resulting from the implementation of the 2011 budget. More than EUR 338 million of appropriations and payments remain on budget lines. They have not been and cannot be used. The report therefore considers that this amount should legitimately be paid back to the EU budget. Parliament adopted this report with a very large majority and I welcome that.
