The programme or commitment authorisations and any revisions thereto are presented by the President of the Executive Council of Martinique. They are voted by the Assembly of Martinique when adopting the budget for the financial year or amending decisions.
The Assembly of Martinique, or the Executive Council when it has been delegated, allocates programme authorisations and commitment authorisations by chapter and, where appropriate, by article.
Programme authorisations correspond to multi-annual expenditure relating to a specific fixed asset or set of fixed assets, acquired or completed by the territorial authority of Martinique, or to equipment subsidies paid to third parties.
The multi-annual management statement, presented by the President of the Executive Council of Martinique when the administrative account is voted, specifies in particular the rate of coverage of programme and commitment authorisations. It is accompanied by the statement relating to the situation of programme and commitment authorisations, the calculation and presentation procedures for which are provided for by joint order of the ministers responsible for local authorities and the budget.
