Insists that requests to the Commission for the payment of subsidies should be justified by a forecast

25.
of cash needs (1) and regrets that the Centre had no such system for producing forecasts;

Tuesday 24 April 2007

Notes that the Centre's financial regulation stipulates that the authorising officer should make a
26.
budgetary commitment before entering into a legal commitment in relation to third parties and regrets
that no budgetary commitments were made for the Centre's expenditure in 2005 prior to such legal com-
mitments; regrets that for the same period, all the Centre's payments were made by the accounting officer
without the authorising officer having issued any payment orders (2);

27.
Notes that contrary to the provisions of the Centre's financial regulation, its accounts were not kept
in accordance with the double-entry method during 2005, thus creating the risk of errors; insists that this
should be rectified as soon as possible;

28.
Notes that there were shortcomings in the documentation of the Centre's staff selection procedures
(lack of formalisation of decisions on the appointment and composition of selection boards, lack of final
report by selection boards on their work); insists on the strict application of its selection procedures.
