Using the procedure without debate the European Parliament adopted the report by Gerhard Schmid (PES, D) on the Pericles programme on training officials to deal with the counterfeiting of the euro. Parliament seeks the involvement not only of the associated countries of Central and Eastern Europe but also of the states of the former Yugoslavia, and other third countries where the euro is likely to circulate. It also stipulated that the amounts allocated to the programme should be decided annually by the budgetary authority.�
