À ce propos, je tiens à souligner que le Conseil ne disposait pas d’une image globale suffisamment claire lorsqu’il a établi son projet de budget et qu’il a jugé nécessaire de réexaminer la situation à la lumière de la lettre rectificative qui doit lui parvenir cet automne en vertu de l’accord interinstitutionnel.
In this connection, I should like to point out that the Council, at the time of compiling its draft budget, did not have a full overview of the situation, and that it stated that it would review the situation in the light of the letter of amendment in the autumn, which is prescribed according to the Interinstitutional Agreement.
