Definition: This block contains a wide variety of disorders that differ in severity and clinical form but that are all attributable to the use of one or more psychoactive substances, which may or may not have been medically prescribed. The third character of the code identifies the substance involved, and the fourth character specifies the clinical state. The codes should be used, as required, for each substance specified, but it should be noted that not all fourth character codes are applicable to all substances. Identification of the psychoactive substance should be based on as many sources of information as possible. These include self-report data, analysis of blood and other body fluids, characteristic physical and psychological symptom ...[+++]s, clinical signs and behaviour, and other evidence such as a drug being in the patient's possession or reports from informed third parties.

Other diagnoses should be coded when other psychoactive substances have been taken in intoxicating amounts (common fourth character .0) or to the extent of causing harm (common fourth character .1), dependence (common fourth character .2) or other disorders (common fourth character .3-.9).

Is seriously concerned about the recurrent problem of the backlog of payments, especially under the cohesion policy (EUR 24.7 billion at the end of 2014), a phenomenon which is not sustainable in terms of sound financial management and puts at risk the implementation of the ESI Funds; stresses that there is a danger of perpetuating the ‘snowball’ effect of accumulating unpaid invoices at year’s end unless a tangible and sustainable solution to the problem is found, as fast as possible, through effective interinstitutional cooperation within the budgetary procedure; underlines the fact that d ...[+++]elays in payments seriously and negatively affect implementation and good economic governance, decreasing the absorption capacity and jeopardising the effectiveness and efficiency of the cohesion policy and EU budget as a whole, ultimately creating practical difficulties and hampering the funding of beneficiaries;

4. Welcomes the increase in payment appropriations for Heading 1b which is the main area affected by the shortage of payments in the Union budget in general; considers nevertheless that this is the bare minimum to cover the actual needs until the end of 2014 and will not be sufficient to solve the recurrent snowball effect of unpaid bills that has been expanding since the 2010 budget; recalls, in particular, that the bulk of invoices under heading 1b are traditionally submitted by Member States towards the end of each financial year in order to prevent possible de-commitments due to the application of N+2 and N+3 rules;

2. Underlines that, while enabling the Commission to respond to the most urgent payment needs in 2014, the level of additional payment appropriations brought to the 2014 budget will not be sufficient to solve the recurrent snowball effect of unpaid bills in 2015; hence, puts the emphasis on the joint statement on a payment plan which accompanies the agreement package on budget 2014 and budget 2015;
