The budget line for administrative appropriations related to the Executive Agency for Public Health is 17 01 04 30.

The budget approved for 2007 (commitments) amounts to EUR 40 000 000 .

The budget for operating appropriations is EUR 38 800 000 . The budget for administrative appropriations is EUR 1 200 000 .

To this budget should be added:

• the contribution received from EEA/EFTA countries for an amount of EUR 884 640 ,

• the contribution of one Applicant Country (Turkey): estimated at EUR 957 697 ,

• the contribution of the following former candidate countries, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Romania and Slovenia, for an amount of EUR 5 906 986,28 .

The total budget for 2007 is therefore EUR 47 749 323,28 . This includes both resources for the operating budget and resources for technical and administrative assistance:

• the total for the operating budget is estimated at EUR 46 416 963,28 ;

• the total for the administrative budget is estimated at EUR 1 332 360 .

It is proposed that EUR 5 324 000 of the operating budget be spent on calls for tenders and EUR 2 550 000 on direct grants for international organisations.

The total indicative amount for the call for proposals is estimated at EUR 37 888 963 .

As far as the allocation of grants for the call for proposal is concerned, a balance between the programme’s different strands will be pursued, while taking into account the quality and quantity of proposals received, unless particular public health emergencies (e.g. pandemic influenza) arise to justify any reallocation of resources. In case resources from the operating budget would remain available at the end of 2007, these will be reallocated to the funding of grants selected through the Call for proposals 2007.
