Article 29

The budget shall comprise a statement of revenue and a statement of expenditure.

Article 30

In so far as it is justified by the nature of Europol’s activities, the statement of expenditure must be set out on the basis of a nomenclature with a classification by purpose. This nomenclature shall be determined by Europol and shall make a clear distinction between administrative appropriations and operating appropriations.

Article 31

The budget shall show: 1. in the statement of revenue: (a) the estimated revenue of Europol for the financial year in question; (b) the estimated 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) the commitment and payment appropriations for the financial year in question; (b) the commitment and payment appropriations for the preceding financial year, and the expenditure committed and the expenditure paid in year n-2 ; (c) a summary statement of the schedule of payments due in subsequent financial years to meet budget commitments entered into in earlier years; (d) appropriate remarks on each subdivision.

Article 32

1.   The establishment plan referred to in Article 27 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 Europol; no appointment may be made in excess of the limit set. However, save in the case of grades AD16, AD15, AD14 and AD13, the Management Board may modify the establishment plan by up to 10 % of posts authorised, subject to two conditions: (a) that the volume of staff appropriations corresponding to a full financial year is not affected; (b) that the limit of the total number of posts authorised by the establishment plan is not exceeded. 2.   By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of paragraph 1, the effects of part-time work authorised by the appointing authority in accordance with the Staff Regulations may be offset by other appointments. Where a staff member requests the withdrawal of the authorisation before expiry of the granted period, Europol shall take appropriate measures to respect the limit referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 as soon as possible.
