The largest expenditure item now is housing.

The process of giving a status of asset to the expenditure item is called as capitalization.

The reasoning is that there is a need to guarantee sufficient funds for the expenditure items proposed by the Commission.

The starting point should be the overall framework which has been decided; the necessary priorities should then be established among the various expenditure items.

Most expenditure items and main projects in the European Parliament budget are of a multiannual nature.

The fourth reason was that it is impossible to determine whether the expenditure items in the Council budget are of an operational nature.

The financial margin of error for regional funds is more than 5%, which therefore exceeds the two most important expenditure items in the budget.

All expenditure items must be justified and authorised.

They are already the second largest expenditure item in the EU budget, representing nearly 40 % of it.

If the Government refuses individual expenditure items, that there was a budget is immaterial.
