When the investment section of the budget includes programme authorisations and payment appropriations, the President of the Territorial Council may, until the budget is adopted or settled in the event that the budget is not adopted, liquidate or mandate investment expenditure corresponding to programme authorisations opened during previous financial years, up to an amount of payment appropriations per chapter equal to one third of the programme authorisations opened during the previous financial year. The corresponding appropriations are entered in the budget when it is adopted or settled.
