Paragraph 21
21. Notes, for the first time, the inclusion of payment appropriations for the European Globalisation Fund, and considers this an important element in the overall reflection on the management and visibility of this fund; notes that the use of a transfer for the EGF should mean a speedier process, and calls for the need for the further simplification of the practical modalities of the procedure, as mentioned on the report from the Commission to the European Parliament and Council on the functioning of the Interinstitutional Agreement on the Budgetary discipline and sound financial management of 27 April 2010;

Paragraph 36 a new
Paragraph 36 a new
36a. Notes with satisfaction the overall increase in payment appropriations for the fundamental rights and justice item, but regrets the reduction in payment appropriations for the budget heading on fundamental rights and citizenship in spite of the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the Union, the Union's obligation to accede to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and the Commission's Green Paper on a Citizens' Initiative; notes furthermore the stagnation of the budget of the Union's Agency for Fundamental Rights Agency;

Paragraph 36 b new
Paragraph 36 b new
36b. Calls on the Commission and Council to allocate a specific budget - separate from that of the European Data Protection Supervisor - for safeguarding personal data and privacy, having regard to public awareness of this and to Article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union; very much deplores the fact that, despite the non-existence of a Commission legislative proposal, a budget heading has been introduced, with a significant funding allocation, albeit entered in the reserve, in order to establish an agency for the operational management of large-scale information technology systems;

Paragraph 37
Paragraph 37
37. Takes note, in this respect, of the Commission's communication on an Action Plan to implement the Stockholm Programme, and welcomes, in the field of immigration and support for the integration of immigrants, the increase of the support for the integration of immigrants and the increase in CA for the DAPHNE programme (fight against violence) ; regrets the reduction of payment appropriations for the prevention and fight against crime and the lack of budgetary information on various measures and actions to protect children; deeply regrets that as the action plan of the Stockholm program proposed by the Commission the draft budget continues to focus on migration policies and on the monitoring and management of borders of the Union to the detriment of the promotion of justice and the protection and enhancement of civil liberties; regrets the proposed increase in CA for the External Borders Fund (254 million, +22 %) and the European Return Fund (114 million, + 29 %) ;

39. DeplorNotes that pending the proposal for a Regulation on EUROPOL, EU agency financed on the Union's budget since 2010, foreseen in 2013, the level of appropriations for 2011 (82,9 million) is almost unchanged as compared to 2010 (79,7 million) although the Stockholm Programme called for a strengthening of EUROPOL;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 40
Paragraph 40
40. Notes that despite the timetable for development and entry into operation of the Schengen Information System II (SIS II) being uncertain, proposed CA decrease only slightly from 35 million to 30 million while payment appropriations increase from 19,5 million to 21 million; notes nevertheless satisfactorily the evolution compared to financial programming for SIS II and VIS (as planned in January 2010) when 112 million were programmed, whereas DB foresees only 51,2 million; deems necessary, as the perspective of a migration to SIS II grows unlikely and a replacement option is currently prepared, to hold in reserve a part of these funds instead pending further analysisand to conduct further precise analysis of the situation;
