The executive agency shall send the Commission, by 31 March each year at the latest, an estimate of its revenue and expenditure drawn up by the Director of the Agency and adopted by the management board and the general guidelines underlying that estimate, together with its work programme.
The agency's estimate of revenue and expenditure shall include:
(a)
an establishment plan setting the number of temporary posts authorised within the limits of the budget appropriations, by grade and by category;
(b)
where there is a change in the number of persons in post, a statement justifying the request for new posts;
(c)
a quarterly estimate of cash payments and receipts.
The Commission, as part of the procedure for adopting the general budget, shall send the agency's statement of estimates to the budgetary authority and propose the amount of the subsidy for the agency and the number of staff it considers that the agency needs.
The agency's operating budget may not be adopted definitively until the general budget of the European Union has been finally adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 58/2003.
The budgetary authority shall adopt the establishment plan of all the agencies and any subsequent amendment thereto in accordance with Article 24.
Any amendment to the budget, including the establishment plan, shall be the subject of an amending budget adopted by the same procedure as the initial budget, subject to Articles 18 and 24.
The budget shall comprise a statement of revenue and a statement of expenditure. It shall show:
1.
in the statement of revenue:
(a)
the estimated revenue of the agency for the financial year in question;
(b)
the revenue for the preceding financial year and the revenue for year N–2;
(c)
appropriate remarks on each revenue line;
2.
in the statement of expenditure:
(a)
appropriations for the financial year in question;
(b)
the appropriations for the preceding financial year and the appropriations for year N–2;
(c)
appropriate remarks on each subdivision.
1. The establishment plan referred to in Article 21 shall show next to the number of posts authorised for the financial year, the number authorised for the preceding year and the number of posts actually filled. It shall constitute an absolute limit for the agency; no appointment may be made in excess of the limit set.
However, the management board may modify the establishment plan by up to 10 % of posts authorised below grade A3 provided that this does not affect the volume of staff appropriations corresponding to a full financial year and remains within the limits of the total number of posts authorised by the establishment plan.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the effects of part-time work authorised by the appointing authority in accordance with the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities (hereinafter the Staff Regulations) may be offset by other appointments.
