CHAPTER 6

Appropriations shall be earmarked for specific purposes by title and chapter. The chapters shall be further subdivided into articles and items. The Director may transfer appropriations: from one title to another up to a maximum of 10 % of the appropriations for the year shown on the line from which the transfer is made; from one chapter to another and from one article to another without limit. Beyond the limit referred in paragraph 1, the director may propose to the management board or, where the constituent act allows it, to the executive board transfers of appropriations from one title to another. The management board or, where the constituent act allows it, the executive board shall have three weeks to oppose such transfers. After that time-limit they shall be deemed to be adopted. Proposals for transfers and transfers carried out under paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be accompanied by appropriate and detailed supporting documents showing the implementation of appropriations and estimates of requirements up to the end of the financial year, both for the headings to be credited and for those from which the appropriations are drawn. The director shall inform the management board as soon as possible of all transfers made. The director shall inform the European Parliament and the Council of all transfers carried out under paragraph 2. Appropriations may only be transferred to lines in budget of the Union body for which the budget of the Union body has authorised appropriations or which carry a token entry ‘pro memoria’. Appropriations corresponding to assigned revenue may be transferred only if such revenue is used for the purpose for which it is assigned.
