Justification:
The Commission has proposed a considerable increase (10.1%) to expenditures on administrative management compared to the 2009 budget. The Council cut it below the 2009 level. To better align the increase of administrative expenditure with the growth of operational expenditure, it seems useful to amend selected administrative management lines, based on relevant criteria, such as the nature of the financed activities and the implementation record.

Justification:
Reinstating the PDB amounts for EGNOS and GALILEO is essential to continue developing what are strategic projects for the EU in terms of R&D and to realise the Lisbon Agenda's competitiveness, growth and employment objectives. Previous years' delays in implementing the appropriations stem essentially from the programmes' considerable scope and the complex administrative procedures involved.
Given the present crisis situation and the need to increase European competitiveness in technology and innovation, there is no reason to reduce the budget for the GALILEO programme.

Reserves
Justification:
Reinstating the PDB amounts is warranted in that the EASA will be assuming new powers covered by Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 plus other powers, to be approved shortly, with regard to air traffic management and aerodromes. It is essential to maintain the amounts so as to ensure higher and better levels of safety, required in a sector such as air transport.
The EASA has been requested for new functions and duties both by the EP and Council, mainly in the field of research and investigation of accidents and the urgent information on the list of passengers. There is no reason to reduce its budget.

Reserves
Justification:
EASA's financing depends to some extent on fees. The Agency is therefore particularly sensitive to market fluctuations and other changing conditions that are completely unpredictable at the time of establishing the EU budget.
The instrument of assigned revenues should therefore not be taken into account when establishing the level of subsidy necessary from the EU budget but should guarantee EASA the necessary budgetary flexibility to quickly react to these changing market conditions.

Before paragraph
In connection with Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European ...... additional measures to make enforcement of the Regulation more efficient.
Amend text as follows:
This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Commission for collecting and processing information of all kinds needed for the analysis, definition, promotion, monitoring, evaluation and implementation of the European Union’s common transport policy, for all transport modes (inland, air, sea and river) and for all transport sectors (transport safety, internal market of transport with its implementation rules, optimisation of transport network, passengers rights and protection in all transport modes as well as for all other sectors related to transport).The main endorsed actions and objectives are intended to support the European Union’s common transport policy, including extension to third countries, technical assistance for all transport modes and sectors, specific training, definition of rules of transport safety, promotion of the common transport policy including establishment and implementation of trans-European network orientation endorsed by the treaty as well as strengthening passengers’ rights and protection to all transport modes and to enforce existing Regulations on passenger rights, in particular through awareness-raising activities about the content of those Regulations, targeted at both the transport industry as well as the travelling public. These activities should promote and support intermodal barrier-free mobility for persons with reduced mobility (PRMs).
Justification:
Restore the PDB.
Mobility for persons with reduced mobility should be improved.
There is no reason to reduce the budget for this very helpful line, especially concerning the need to increase and reinforce passenger rights, which is one of the European priorities.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if ...... additional appropriations pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.
Add following text:
Extra funds to be used for the revised Marco Polo programme and for a specific inland waterway programme, taking into account its environmental benefits, its specific characteristics and its small and medium sized enterprises.
Justification:
The Commission proposes to reduce the Marco Polo budget, since it has been hardly used. However, in April 2009 Parliament decided to lower the conditions for participating in Marco Polo. Also, Parliament agreed to set up a specific Marco Polo programme specifically designed for inland waterway enterprises. This amendment enables the creation of such as programme.
The Marco Polo II program is now up and running. The payments have to increase in order to answer the demand.

Justification:
Restore the PDB.
Road freight transport is entirely dependent on fossil fuel and is thus a major CO2 contributor. Greater recourse therefore needs to lead to intermodality, which makes better use of existing infrastructure and service resources by integrating short sea shipping, rail transport and inland waterways into the logistics chain. It is thus essential to support the continuation of the Marco Polo II programme which aims to shift freight from the roads to more environmentally friendly modes.
