million euros, which represents a decrease of EUR 971 million

Another data that protrude from the note UTAO concerns the expenditure arising from the integration of previous years management balances. In the first half, the government has used more than one third of this budget. The implementation of the expenditure in the first half
It comprises a period twelfths regime, which remained in force
until the adoption of the budget for 2016.
The Technical Unit explains that it is up to Parliament to do throughout the year, budget changes, by means of amending budgets. However, also the Executive can do for provisional allocation, increase own or earmarked revenue and integration management balances and prior year appropriations.
Such changes, writes UTAO, “aim ensure a balance between the budget of amounts of expenditure approved by Parliament as a whole to the central administration and ensure a budget margin to the Government to ensure the flexibility to accommodate the actual needs of each service, while respecting the principle the expense of the specification. “
Warns, however, UTAO that the integration of management balances and their implementation in spending” could result the deterioration of the fiscal balance of the year, should it be carried out the actual expense. “
