Ministries have to cut their expenditures next year
This concerns the Health and Economy Ministries most of all. The Health Ministry has demanded an additional zł.2.5 billion, which is almost 80 percent more than planned by the Finance Ministry, while the other - an extra zł.1.5 billion, some 100 percent more than its limit.
"Some ministers have sent us a few pages of additional tasks, for which they would like to obtain funds. The government will decide, which of these postulates are carried out," said Deputy Finance Minister Elżbieta Suchocka-Roguska.
She added that the granted limits do not take into account funds from the EU, but additional funds would only be provided for projects that fit into priorities set out by the PM. In total the government planned state expenditures to reach zł.328.7 billion in 2009, of which zł.41.6 billion will be provided by the European Union.
In comparison with the 2008 budget, excluding EU funds, expenditures will increase by zł.13.4 billion, some 4.9 percent.
