COSAC welcomes the conclusions of the European Council of 24-25 October 2013 on the guidance towards the completion of the Digital Single Market by 2015. COSAC supports the focus of the European Council on the need to boost investment and encourage innovation in the digital sector. It therefore considers essential that the regulatory framework in the digital sector is streamlined across the EU, that a single copyright regime is established, licensing procedures are facilitated, while a high level of protection of intellectual property rights is ensured taking into account the cultural diversity. COSAC trusts that the funding instruments to encourage innovation in the digital sector, such as COSME, Horizon 2020 and the Risk-Sharing Finance Facility, will be fully made use of and that the European Research Area will be completed by the end of 2014. COSAC supports the insistence of the European Council that pending legislative proposals should be finalised as soon as possible, especially in areas such as e-identification and trust services and e-invoicing and payment services. COSAC shares the concern expressed by the European Council about the mismatch of skills that exists in the labour market in the EU’s digital sector and the concrete steps that the European Council is proposing to redress the situation.
1.7.

COSAC is concerned about the increased irregular migration and human smuggling and trafficking into the EU and the significant number of migrants entering the EU from and through the Central and Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans and sees a clear need to enforce the fight against irregular migration, human smuggling and trafficking, as well as to focus on addressing the root causes of migration the problems in the countries of origin and to have better cooperation with countries of origin and transit countries. In this context, COSAC strongly supports the agreement on an EU-Turkey joint action plan to address the migratory flows towards the EU. COSAC underlines the importance of the support to Jordan and Lebanon.

The Court  of Auditors: 
— Having  regard  to the  final  draft  COM(77)  491 
which  has  been  submitted  to it for opinion, 
— Considers  that  in this  text  it would  be necessary  to 
refer  to the opinion  of the Court  and  to replace  the 
reference  made  in Article  4 to Article  81 of the 
Financial  Regulation  (ECSC,  EEC,  Euratom)  No 
73/91  of 25 April  1973  by a reference  to Article  73

— Notes  the  delays  which  have  occurred  in the 
settlement  of accounts,  which  result  in a derogation 
from  the normal  budgetary  procedure  and  recourse

according  to the procedure  laid  down  in Article  22

The Court  of Auditors: 
— Having  regard  to the  final  Commission  proposal

for opinion, 
— Considers  that  it would  be desirable,  in this  text,  to 
refer  to the opinion  of the Court  of Auditors, 
— Notes  that  a large  proportion  of the aid shown  in 
the budget  of  the  European  Communities  is 
administered  by the European  Investment  Bank, 
— Considers  that,  in so far as the roles  of the internal 
and external  audits  are  not  clearly  defined  in the 
application  Regulation,  the procedures  provided  for 
dividing  the  management  of  Community  aid 
between  the  European  Investment  Bank  and  the 
Commission  are  of  a nature  to  lead  to 
inter-institutional  disputes, 
— Stresses  that  it retains,  even  for aids  shown  in the 
budget  which  are  entrusted  to the  management  of the European  Investment  Bank,  the  responsibility 
for audit  as laid  down  by Article  206  (a) of the

OPINION OF THE COURT OF AUDITORS

THE COURT OF AUDITORS OF THE

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the

Article 209 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion (*), 
Whereas the Council, on 6 April 1981, decided to 
consult the Court of Auditors on this proposal; 
Whereas the Commission proposal will serve to 
implement the Financial protocol more speedily than 
the proposals submitted to the Court in 1978 for 
Regulations on the application of the cooperation 
agreements with Mediterranean countries, which have 
still not been adopted; 
Whereas part of the aid in the budget of the 
European Communities is managed by the European 
Investment Bank; 
Whereas, in as much as the role of internal and 
external audit is not clearly defined in the Regulation, 
management of the Community aid is divided 
between the European Investment Bank and the 
Commission in a manner likely to cause problems in 
the demarcation of powers of audit; 
Whereas the Court of Auditors retains the 
responsibility as defined in Article, 206 (a) of the 
Treaty establishing the European Economic 
Community for the audit of aid from the budget 
which is to be managed by the European Investment 
Bank, whereas it must therefore be stated expressly that the provisions of Articles 2 and 11 shall not 
prejudice the said powers of audit, 
HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING OPINION: 
The proposal for a Financial Regulation presented by 
the Commission should be amended as follows: 
Article 2 — add: 
'The foregoing provisions shall not prejudice the 
audit powers conferred upon the Court of Auditors 
by Article 206 (a) of the Treaty establishing the 
European Economic Community or their exercise as 
specified in the Financial Regulation applicable to the 
general budget of the European Communities.'

'Without prejudice to the audit powers of the Court

Whereas the abovementioned Article 13 aims to make officials and other servants of the Communities liable to a tax for the benefit of the Communities on salaries, wages and emoluments paid to them and to exempt these officials and other servants from national taxes on salaries, wages and emoluments paid by the Communities,

HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING OPINION:

1. The proposed amendment, which provides for the application of Regulation (Euratom, ECSC, EEC) No 549/69 to those entitled to the allowance provided for in the event of termination of service under Article 4 of the Regulation introducing special measures to terminate the service of officials of the Commission of the European Communities, and which was adopted by the Commission on 31 January 2001 and forwarded to the Council on 2 February, calls for no comments from the Court.
