94/442/EC: Commission Decision of 1 July 1994 setting up a conciliation procedure in the context of the clearance of the accounts of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section

COMMISSION DECISION of 1 July 1994 setting up a conciliation procedure in the context of the clearance of the accounts of European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section (94/442/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of the Council of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (2), and in particular Article 5 (3) thereof,
Whereas it is intended to reform the clearance procedures for EAGGF Guarantee Section accounts and to submit to the Council a proposal for certain amendments to Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 whereby, in particular, before any decision is taken by the  Commission to refuse financing by the Community of expenditure disbursed by the Member State, the two parties are to endeavour to conciliate their respective positions;
Whereas the rules in force concerning the clearance of accounts do not preclude the Commission from setting up conciliation machinery; whereas a conciliation body should therefore be set up in order to permit a reconciliation of the positions of the  Commission and a Member State when these differ, and the detailed rules governing its operation should be established;
Whereas the Fund Committee has given a favourable opinion on the measures proposed in this Decision,
