Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Recalls that the level of the preliminary draft estimates for the 2014 budget, as suggested by the Secretary-General in his report to the Bureau, amounts to EUR 1 813 144 206; notes the rate of increase of 3,58 %compared with the 2013 budget; notes that this proposed increase has to be seen in the context of its constitutive elements, specifically an increase of 2,20 % stemming from the election of a new Parliament and the application of the Statutes for Members and Members' assistants, and an increase of 1,30 % deriving from other legal obligations; suggests, however, that this level remains too high and further savings should be sought with a view to lowering this initial draft estimate;
