## What the amendments focus on

A report on the 2019 budget estimates of revenue and expenditure for Section I, Parliament. The amendments dispute the increase proposed by the Secretary-General, some seeking to keep the budget below EUR 2 billion and under 20% of heading V; they address index-bound expenditure on Members and staff, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom and reduction to 705 Members, the voluntary pension fund, and the elections communication campaign.
