The Management Board shall, as soon as possible, notify the budgetary authority of its intention to implement any project, which may have significant financial implications for the funding of its administrative budget, in particular any projects relating to property such as the rental or purchase of buildings. It shall inform the Commission thereof. If either branch of the budgetary authority intends to issue an opinion, it shall within two week after receipt of the information on the project notify Europol of its intention to issue such an opinion. Failing a reply, Europol may proceed with the planned operation. This opinion shall be forwarded to Europol within four weeks of such notification pursuant to the second paragraph.
