rapporteur du budget

Law/Patents
This is a French Parliamentary function (here "à l'Assemblée"), involving budget commentary or criticism. It does not seem to correspond exactly to a role in Anglo saxon parliaments, but seems closest to the being spokesman for a parliamentary committee.

rapporteur for the budget, budget rapporteur
As the asker surmises, the rapporteur drafts a report on behalf of a parliamentary committee, which is then debated by parliament as a whole. His own party allegiance is not relevant here - he is chosen for his particular expertise in the subject on which he reports. The budget rapporteur, for example, may typically be someone with a financial background.
The term "rapporteur", by the way, is not exclusive to international organisations. It's pretty common in all kinds of conference/debate contexts.

Comment: "Thanks for the help. It tended the way I was thinking. The term "rapporteur" does not seem to be in use outside the European parliaments, so I could not use it. Finally, paraphrased iot as "chairman of the budgetary committee "

Rapporteur/recording secretary/chair
Looking through entries in Termium, the preferred term for the French "rapporteur" is, indeed, **rapporteur** (used by NATO; the Commission of Experts established pursuant to SC Res.780 (1992); in reference to Yugoslavia; U.N. World Conference on Human Rights, Vienna, Austria, June 1993; etc.). The nearest **non**international parliamentary body term would be **recording secretary**

budget 'rapporteur' or report draftsman for the budget
In the European Parliament we have taken over the term 'rapporteur' in the context of Parliamentary committees. A 'rapporteur pour avis' is translated at the European Parliament as 'draftsman'.

It seems that in many circles, "budget rapporteur" is very acceptable and widely understood as well.
