1. The Management Board shall, by 30 November each year, adopt a document containing CEPOL's multi-annual programming and annual work programme, based on a draft put forward by the Executive Director, taking into account the opinion of the Commission and, as regards the multi-annual programming, after having consulted the European Parliament. The Management Board shall forward that document to the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments. The document referred to in the first subparagraph shall become definitive after the final adoption of the general budget and, where necessary, shall be adjusted accordingly.

2. The multi-annual programming shall set out overall strategic programming, including the objectives, expected results and performance indicators, as well as resource planning, including the multi-annual budget and staff. It shall include a strategy for relations with third countries and international organisations. The multi-annual programming shall be implemented by means of annual work programmes and shall, where appropriate, be updated following the outcome of the external and internal evaluations referred to in Article 32. The conclusion of those evaluations shall also be reflected, where appropriate, in the annual work programme for the following year.

3. The annual work programme shall comprise detailed objectives, expected results and performance indicators. It shall also contain a description of the actions to be financed and an indication of the financial and human resources allocated to each action, in accordance with the principles of activity-based budgeting and management. The annual work programme shall be consistent with the multi-annual programming. It shall clearly indicate tasks that have been added, changed or deleted compared to the previous financial year. The annual work programme shall include the strategy for relations with third countries and international organisations referred to in Article 3 and the actions linked to that strategy.

4. Where, after adoption of an annual work programme, a new task is assigned to CEPOL, the Management Board shall amend the annual work programme.

5. Any substantial amendment to the annual work programme shall be adopted by the same procedure as that applicable to adoption of the initial annual work programme. The Management Board may delegate the power to make non-substantial amendments to the annual work programme to the Executive Director.
