THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

30.

Rejects the cuts introduced by the Council on Heading 1b, which would lead to a much more serious shortage in payments than already expected and would impede the reimbursement for already spent resources to the beneficiary Member States and regions, with serious consequences especially for those Member States which are already under social, economical and financial constraints; points out again that this heading is responsible for two thirds of the current outstanding commitments and that cutting the level of payments for 2013 would also lead to a strong increase in the level of RAL by the end of next year; asks therefore the Commission to present an analysis on the situation of RAL and a sound strategy as to how the level of RAL should be reduced; calls on the Commission to provide Parliament with information on a monthly basis on the breakdown per Member State and per Fund of the claims submitted for reimbursement;
4.

Notes that the region of Aragón has been hard hit in the past by mass dismissals and welcomes the fact that the region has decided to use the EGF support to address those redundancies; Spain has submitted two EGF applications for the Aragón region before: EGF/2008/004 ES Castilla y León & Aragón (1 082 redundancies in the automotive industry of which 594 occurred in Aragón) (4) and EGF/2010/016 ES Aragón retail (1 154 redundancies in the retail sector) (5); welcomes the fact that the region is building on the experience with the EGF and quickly assists workers in several sectors; firmly believes that the anticipated EGF assistance can further contribute to preventing the risk of depopulation in the region of Aragón (currently comprising between 3 and 54 inhabitants per km2) by effectively encouraging the population to remain in this territory;
10.

Notes with concern that the Court of Auditors identified shortcomings in the transparency of two recruitment procedures carried out during the first half of 2012, for which the questions for written tests and interviews, as well as their weightings, were not prepared before the examination of the applications and threshold scores to be included on a list of suitable candidates were not prepared before the examination of the applications; acknowledges, however, that following the Court of Auditors’ comments from last year, the Agency implemented corrective measures and no such weaknesses were found for the two audited recruitment procedures carried out in the second half of 2012;
16.

Acknowledges from the Agency that in 2012 the Commission’s Internal Audit Service (IAS) carried out an operation audit on planning and budgeting in the Agency, as well as a follow-up audit on the recommendations concerning internal control standards, the provision of scientific advice, human resources management, the 2010 follow-up audit and operational business continuity in the Agency audits; notes that the audit on planning and budgeting identified strengths as regards revenue forecasting and monitoring and raised seven recommendations, two of which were rated as ‘very important’ and five as ‘important’; acknowledges that all recommendations were accepted by the management and that the Agency prepared an action plan which the IAS considered to be adequate; notes that the follow-up concluded that three recommendations from the previous audits remain open, one of which was downgraded to ‘important’;
