The appropriations are voted by chapter and, if the Assembly of Martinique so decides, by article.
In these two cases, the Assembly of Martinique may, however, specify that certain appropriations are specialised by article.
In the event of a vote by article, the President of the Executive Council of Martinique may, by express decision, make transfers from article to article within the same chapter excluding articles whose appropriations are specialised.
Within the limit of 7.5% of the actual expenditure of each of the sections, set at the time of the vote on the budget, the Assembly of Martinique may delegate to the President of the Executive Council the possibility of making transfers of appropriations from chapter to chapter, excluding appropriations relating to staff expenditure. In this case, the President of the Executive Council of Martinique informs the deliberative assembly of these movements of appropriations at its next meeting.
