Det finansielle overslag for 2005 har en ramme på 114 milliarder euro. Her er lofterne for de finansielle forpligtelser, der kan foretages i de interne og eksterne politikker samt i forvaltningsudgifterne, mindre, end det var planlagt i programmerne, fordi prisjusteringen blev lavere på grund af ændringer i vekselkursen.
For 2005, the Financial Perspective plans a framework of EUR 114 billion, with upper limits for the financial commitments that we are capable of taking on in internal and external policies, as well as in administrative expenditure, that are lower than provided for in the programmes; the reason for this is that prices have needed less adjustment because of exchange rate fluctuations.
