The 2002 budget procedure was an opportunity to refine and consolidate the new method of activity-based budgeting which was introduced in 2001 and which will be formally applicable once the recast financial regulation has been adopted.
Under budgetproceduren for 2002 finpudsedes og konsolideredes den nye metode med aktivitetsbaseret budgetlægning (ABB), der blev indført i 2001, og som vil finde formel anvendelse, så snart omarbejdningen af finansforordningen er vedtaget.
