– ý  The proposal/initiative requires the use of appropriations of an administrative nature, as explained below:

Subtotal HEADING 5 of the multiannual financial framework || 0.253 || 0.496 || 0.496 || 0.496 || 0.496 || 0.496 || 2.733

TOTAL || 0.253 || 0.496 || 0.496 || 0.496 || 0.496 || 0.496 || 2.733

The human resources appropriations required will be met by appropriations from the DG that are already assigned to management of the action and/or have been redeployed within the DG, together if necessary with any additional allocation which may be granted to the managing DG under the annual allocation procedure and in the light of budgetary constraints.

The figures in the “Human resources” line correspond to the cost involved by the recruitment of 2 AD grade and 1 AST/SC grade staff, with the figure for the first year reduced to half, to reflect the reduced workload expected in the first year of existence of the Controller.

The figure in the “Other operating cost” line reflects the cost of the Controller, who would be an AD15 grade Special Adviser remunerated according to the number of days of actual work. The line also includes the cost of the substitute, but this does not have to be reflected separately and neither it implies additional cost, since he would be called on only to replace the Controller, who would then not be remunerated.

Given the expected workload, the part-time work foreseen for the Controller (and his substitute) is estimated to amount to 25 per cent of the ordinary monthly full-time work time in the first year of activity (5,5 days per month), and 50 per cent thereafter (11 days per month).

There are also foreseen 2 days of mission per month.
