The Territorial Council may include a credit for unforeseen expenditure in both the investment and operating sections of the budget. For each of the two sections of the budget, this appropriation may not exceed 7.5% of the appropriations corresponding to the actual forecast expenditure for the section. Expenditure entered in the investment section pursuant to the first paragraph may not be financed by borrowing.

The credit for unforeseen expenditure is used by the President of the Territorial Council.

The documents shall remain attached to the deliberation. This appropriation may only be used to meet expenditure for which no appropriation has been entered in the budget.
