8. Welcomes the substantial expenditure savings achieved by the External Action Service in 2012, and the continuation of this trend in 2013 as projected in the Estimates; takes the view, in this context, that while the phasing-in of the Service can justify an expenditure increase proportionally greater than that foreseen by the other Institutions, questions remain regarding the high number of costly management positions at high grade levels; calls, therefore, on the EEAS to provide additional information, in particular as regards the significant increase (+9.2 %) in AD 14 posts proposed in the draft ...[+++]budget; calls, likewise, for further information on the large increases in proposed appropriations for security and surveillance of buildings (+57.2 %);

As a result, it is logical that the action should be funded from the Community budget.

For these potential benefits to materialize, however, important conditions have to be met, namely : 1) the development of a consistent legal and institutional framework ; 2) successful stabilization at the all-Union level, opening the way to convertibility of the rouble ; 3) the setting up of a federal budgetary system involving predictable own resources for the Union budget and effective surveillance of budgetary procedures in t ...[+++]he Republics.
