EUROPEAN COMMISSION BRUSSELS, 21/05/2010 GENERAL BUDGET - 2010 SECTION III - COMMISSION TITLE 26 TRANSFER OF APPROPRIATIONS N° DEC 16/2010 EUR FROM CHAPTER - 40 01 RESERVES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENDITURE ITEM - 40 01 40 - 26 01 02 11 Other management expenditure Non-Diff. - 3 735 263 TO CHAPTER – 26 01 Administrative expenditure of ‘Commission’s administration’ policy area ITEM - 26 01 02 11 Other management expenditure Non-Diff. 3 735 263 EN 1 EN Introduction Two separate amounts have been voted in reserve on the 2010 budget item 26 01 02 11 which finances management appropriations under the 'Commission administration' policy area of the budget nomenclature. This budget item covers such corporate appropriations as centralised training or centrally managed IT developments, where continuity of operations would be significantly impaired in case of interruption. The present transfer requests the release of the reserve of EUR 3 735 263 on the basis of the requested lists of the topics of all studies carried out by external providers, individual firms or names of these providers between 2004 and 2008 and of any external advice requested, identifying the firms or individual advisers and specific issues for which advice was sought (see technical annex attached). The report reproduced in the enclosed technical annex lists all studies and external advice requested by all Commission services in the years 2005 to 2008 included. This information is based upon the data extracted from the central financial information system, as checked and completed by each service in order to ensure the best possible exhaustivity and clarity. The information provided is organised as follows: the responsible service (authorising officer), the name of the beneficiary (save in the few cases where contractual terms did not foresee such publicity), the topic or reason for the study or external advice and the amounts committed (by year and in total). The attached report fulfils the condition fixed to release the reserve and the Commission therefore requests the transfer of the corresponding amount of EUR 3 735 263 from Article 40 01 40 to budget item 26 01 02 11.
