The Belgian Auditor's Office is not competent to judge good management. Parliamentary initiatives have been taken to extend its competence towards an efficiency, effectiveness and economy control.  Up till 1985 the Belgian budget was drawn up according toa classification system with insufficient regard for the application ofmanagement objectives to budgetary allocation.  Based on notions originating from the P.P.B.S. system the budget is drawn up now by programmes assigned to organisation divisions. In the future the parliamentary budget procedure could be transformed into a ratification of the General Budget of Expenses and a supervision of the execution of the departmental budgets. The General Budget will contain the programmes. A similar system offers the external controller a better management and control instrument.An efficiency control exists in various farms in Germany, Great-Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, France, Spain and Canada. The European Auditor's Office evaluates good financial management too.

During my visit to Great Britain I have been surprised to find how many factories have sprung up during the war, which whilst producing munitions of a highly complicated character lack a staff, the members of which as a whole possess that long and careful experience in technical production always considered necessary in the qualifications of men for executive or responsible positions.Yet the fact remains that these concerns are producing, and the product in many cases is of a high quality. We are, however, living in exceptional times, when competition—in the true sense of the word—is absent; but if the best is to be obtained now and in the future, when these factories will have to strain every effort for their existence, it will be necessary that production on a strictly economical basis be considered.My experience shows that in a number of cases there exists a misconception of what a proper system of control means, and the advantage accruing there from is unknown.

Secretly watching the Russians. Cold War aircraft observation posts on existing buildings During the 1950s a network of aircraft observation post was built in The Netherlands, as a detection/observation system against low-flying hostile aircraft during the Cold War. Preferably, these were placed on highrise buildings. 134 of these 276 observation posts were built on existing buildings, on factories, mills, water towers, monasteries, government buildings and bunkers. Since their decommissioning in 1964-1968, many posts have been demolished. Approximately 37 posts on existing buildings remain, but mostly go unnoticed and many risk demolition in the future. These remaining aircraft observation posts are remarkable relics of our military heritage from the Cold War.
