The global provisional commitments relating to the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (hereinafter ‘EAGF’) and the corresponding payments shall also be recorded in the budget accounts. Those commitments shall be presented in respect of total EAGF appropriations. The budget accounts shall show separately: the use of appropriations carried over and the appropriations for the year; the clearance of outstanding commitments. On the revenue side, amounts still to be recovered from previous financial years shall be shown separately. The budget accounts may be organised in such a way as to develop a cost accounting system.
