39. Welcomes the fact that the ECA has recorded an improvement in the Commission's supervisory and
control systems; regrets however the fact that this improvement does not extend to supervision, control and
audit of the implementing institutions; considers it unacceptable that, as a result, such a large number of
material errors continue to occur at a central point in the chain between the European taxpayer and the
final beneficiary in the developing country;

40.
Calls on the Commission to develop and implement a comprehensive approach towards supervision,
control and audit of the implementing organisations so as to ensure the proper application of contractual
procedures by the implementing organisations, which has too often not been the case hitherto;

41.
Calls on the Commission, with a view to improving financial supervision, to ensure that EuropeAid
provides better support for the operational financial personnel in delegations and central services, arranges
for better risk analysis focusing on particularly high-risk sectors and more monitoring visits, achieves better
central supervision of performance and follow-up of external audits initiated by delegations and central
services and initiates fewer ex post verifications while at the same time improving their scope, timing and
quality control;

42.
In general, strongly supports the ECAs' request that the Commission should set out in detail how it
has followed up the ECAs' audit findings in the annual activity reports and in the reports on financial
management of the EDF funds.
