Hvad finansieringen af de europæiske partier angår, så tror jeg, vi er enige om, at disse udgifter principielt ikke falder ind under det selvpålagte loft på 20 % i udgiftsområde 5, da der ikke er tale om forvaltningsudgifter for Parlamentet, men om operative midler.
As far as the financing of the European Political Parties is concerned, I think we agree that this expenditure should in principle remain outside Parliament’s self-imposed ceiling of 20% of heading 5 as it is not an administrative expenditure of the institution but an operational one.
