The '''European Commissioner for Budget and Administration''' is the member of the [[European Commission]] who is responsible for negotiating and managing the EU budget. The current commissioner is [[Johannes Hahn]].
The portfolio is primarily responsible for the management of the [[European Union Budget|budget of the]] [[European Union]] and related financial issues except for ''budgetary discharge'' which falls under the [[European Commissioner for Administrative Affairs, Audit and Anti-Fraud|Admin Commissioner]].
==The Commissioners==
[[Janusz Lewandowski]] was the European Commissioner for Financial Programming and the Budget as part of the [[Barroso Commission]] II. His predecessor was [[Algirdas Šemeta]], who in turn succeeded fellow Lithuanian [[Dalia Grybauskaitė]]. The [[European Parliament]] approved a ''Commissioner for Financial Programming & the Budget'' for the first time in 2004, a position expanded since the [[Prodi Commission]] to include ''Financial Programming''.
The Commissioner's 121.6 billion [[euro]] 2008 budget proposed that for the first time, the budget towards [[Sustainable development|sustainable growth]] (€57.2 billion) would be higher than that of the [[Common Agricultural Policy]] (€56.3 billion), traditionally the largest source of expenditure in the EU. There would be an increase in [[Structural Funds and Cohesion Funds|cohesion funds]], [[Energy policy of the European Union|energy]] and [[European Commissioner for Transport|transport]] of 14%, [[European Commissioner for Science & Research|research]] by 11% and lifelong learning by 9%. There would also be an increase in the administrative budget, aid to Kosovo and [[Palestinian National Authority|Palestinian]] institutions and funds towards the [[Galileo positioning system|Galileo project]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://euobserver.com/19/24012?rss_rk=1|title=Group of EU states wary of 2008 budget plan|date=8 May 2007 }}</ref>
