opfordrer Kommissionen til at fortsætte med at ajourføre og justere sin vejledning i omkostningsanalyser af investeringsprojekter, der gælder for alle projekter, og til at udarbejde vejledning om udarbejdelse af trafikprognoser;
Takes note of the irregularities detected by the Commission in its 2012 audit report; regrets that the Commission’s preliminary audit report is confidential, which means that Union citizens do not have access to the information about how their tax money has been used; takes note that the final Italian version of the report can be disclosed under the usual rules to protect personal data;
opfordrer Kommissionen til at fremme udveksling af bedste praksis blandt medlemsstaterne med henblik på at oprette pålidelige trafikprognoser på den ene side og beregne vejbyggeriets mulige økonomiske konsekvenser på den anden;
Calls on the Commission to clarify why i) although alerted to the inquiries by Aquila’s prosecutor, the Commission has always refused to investigate whether or not Union funds have been paid out to economic operators linked to criminal organisations; ii) although the Commission was alerted to the fact that there could be problems with the cost of the CASE project, the Commission did not follow-up on this point;
mener, at omkostningerne til vejbyggeri ligeledes afhænger af grundens morfologi, seismiske farer og miljømæssige, arkæologiske og kulturelle begrænsninger samt af omfanget af ingeniørarbejde (f.eks. broer og tunneler); mener, at Revisionsretten bør tage højde for disse variabler;
Notes that more than 42 % of CASE has been built by using Union taxpayers’ money;
anmoder Kommissionen og Revisionsretten om at oplyse nærmere om muligheden for at udarbejde oplysninger om enhedsomkostninger på EU-plan til brug for de ingeniører, der udarbejder overslag over nye projekter, med henblik på at hjælpe støttemodtagerne med at få sænket indkøbspriserne;
Regrets that Parliament is still waiting to be informed by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) as to whether or not any irregularities were found to have taken place and if a further follow-up was required;
Del XX
Is concerned by the fact that eight individuals have been taken into custody by the Italian police, and are currently under suspicion of manipulating building licenses for the reconstruction works that are taking place in the Abruzzi region and in the city of L’Aquila; asks the Commission to monitor the development thereof and to report to Parliament on these developments including the criminal cases;
Den Europæiske Revisionsrets særberetning nr. 6/2013 med titlen »Har foranstaltningerne til diversificering af økonomien i landdistrikterne givet medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen valuta for pengene?«
Welcomes the discussions relating to the revision of the EUSF Regulation, picking up ‘lessons learned’ in the Abruzzi earthquake;
Generelt
Part XIV
er bekymret over, at den gode forvaltning af EU-finansierede programmer og initiativer bringes i fare, når nedskæringer i den offentlige sektor påvirker antallet af medarbejdere i de pågældende forvaltninger;
Special Report No 25/2012 of the Court of Auditors entitled ‘Are tools in place to monitor the effectiveness of European Social Fund spending on older workers?’
er bekymret over, at medlemsstaterne gennemfører foranstaltningerne på forskellige måder, og over, at Revisionsrettens bemærkninger i mange tilfælde er henvendt til dem;
Welcomes the Court of Auditors’ Special Report ‘Are tools in place to monitor the effectiveness of European Social Fund spending on older workers?’, and makes the following comments in relation to its recommendations;
påpeger, at vægten bør lægges på de åbenlyse behov eller specifikke mål og på kapaciteten til at bistå områder, der har brug for det;
Welcomes the fact that some issues raised by the Court of Auditors, including a stronger emphasis on performance, have been addressed in the Commission’s proposed regulations for the new programming period 2014–2020 and encourages Member States to support the line taken by the Commission;
påpeger behovet for en mere grøn, fair og fuldstændig legitim fælles landbrugspolitik, som repræsenterer princippet om »offentlige udgifter til offentlige goder«; mener, at en øget sociopolitisk anvendelse af midler til udvikling af landdistrikterne vil fremme væksten og beskæftigelsen i landdistrikter;
Emphasises the fact that while minimising error rate is vitally important, this is sometimes detrimental to the overall performance of a programme or project; notes that paying increasing attention to regularity and legality, rather than encouraging better performance, leads to less innovative uses of the European Social Fund (ESF);
påpeger, at passende diversificeringsprojekter bør tilstræbe at udvikle lokal infrastruktur og lokale basale tjenester i landdistrikter for at forebygge tendenser i retning af affolkning; mener, at projekterne ligeledes bør tilstræbe at gøre landdistrikterne mere attraktive for unge mennesker og bør føre nye, tilfredsstillende og velbetalte jobmuligheder med sig;
Notes that the increased emphasis on performance and results does not translate into willingness on the part of Member States to contribute to a performance reserve, which is not a suitable solution during this period of economic uncertainty;
Revisionsrettens tilgang
Invites the Member States to design their Operational Programmes in such a way that the performance of the ESF can be measured, in particular, to set quantified operational goals and indicators to measure outputs, results and specific impacts, and to set intermediate milestones, as well as to establish a hierarchy of target values, and to incorporate the Operational Programme’s result and specific impact goals at project level, thus enabling payments to be linked to performance;
noterer sig, at denne særberetning fokuserer på diversificeringsmål under akse 3 og finder det hensigtsmæssigt ligeledes at undersøge målet om forbedring af livskvaliteten i landdistrikterne og fremme diversificeringen af de økonomiske aktiviteter;
Invites the Member States to design their monitoring and evaluation systems in such a way that the progress towards all target values set can be measured in a timely and understandable way and at appropriate intervals, thereby allowing corrective actions to be taken and lessons learned for future decision-making, and to ensure timely collection of relevant and verifiable data, on-going evaluations, and the measurement of the net employment effect of the ESF actions aimed at increasing employment;
bemærker, at de foranstaltninger, der er blevet revideret, er udformet til at påvirke andet end beskæftigelse og indkomst og har til formål at bidrage til landdistrikternes bæredygtighed;
Calls on the Commission to promote these recommendations when negotiating Operational Programmes; calls on the Commission to provide appropriate data on the means mobilised and the results achieved by the ESF to ensure the submission of consistent and reliable information by Member States, inter alia, by issuing common indicators to be included by Member States in their Operational Programmes; calls on the Commission to analyse in depth performance issues when assessing the management and control systems;
Fremtidig udvikling
Part XV
glæder sig over, at Kommissionen for den kommende programmeringsperiode har foreslået en række forbedringer, som bør imødegå nogle af de bekymringer, Revisionsretten har givet udtryk for, navnlig:
Special Report No 1/2013 of the Court of Auditors entitled ‘- Has the EU support to the food-processing industry been effective and efficient in adding value to agricultural products?’
en stærkere retlig ramme med en fuldstændig strategibeskrivelse og forudgående evaluering
Takes note of the Court of Auditors’ Special Report ‘Has the EU support to the food-processing industry been effective and efficient in adding value to agricultural products?’, and its recommendations;
én enkelt foranstaltning i stedet for tre, med et forbedret fokus, klarere betingelser for støtteberettigelse (med vejledning) og betalingsregler samt anvendelse af forenklede omkostninger
Is concerned about the considerable number of shortcomings found by the Court of Auditors at the time of audit, in particular, that the design and the programming of the measure makes it difficult for Member States to avoid risks and ensure effectiveness and efficiency when selecting the individual projects for support and the monitoring and evaluation arrangements do not collect information on added value or on the effects on competitiveness of agriculture; observes that as a result, there is not a satisfactory basis for monitoring and evaluation, and for accountability;
en bedre definition af udvælgelseskriterier, hvis anvendelse bør gøres obligatorisk
Regrets that limiting the rules to a minimum and simplification has resulted in a measure with a highly questionable added value; namely that the legislation itself does not specify what the added value is intended to be, nor to whom such added value should accrue;
udveksling af bedste praksis med hensyn til mindskelse af risiciene for dødvægt og forskydning
Believes that the current level of flexibility is excessive, as the measure has lost its focus and has become a general subsidy, risking becoming a handout to the food-processing companies;
resultatindikatorer som led i evalueringen af programmet for udvikling af landdistrikterne
Notes with concern that out of 24 projects audited by the Court of Auditors, only six had a clear effect in adding value and that these were classified as ‘high added value’, while further 12 projects were assessed as medium by the Court of Auditors and the remaining six projects resulted in little or no adding of value to the agricultural products;
en fælles ramme for overvågning og evaluering med henblik på at anvende målindikatorer, som er defineret i fællesskab, til vurderingerne;
Believes that Member States should clearly identify in their Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) where and why public intervention is necessary to improve the added value of agricultural produce and the competitiveness of agriculture; believes that the RDPs should set specific and measurable objectives in relation to these needs; urges the Commission to approve only those RDPs that present substantiated and comprehensive strategies with a clear rationale to demonstrate how the financial support for the food industry will improve the competitiveness of agriculture;
anmoder medlemsstaterne om i deres landdistriktsprogrammer (LDP'er) klart at angive, hvorfor og hvordan offentlig intervention i forbindelse med investeringer i ikkelandbrugsaktiviteter kan bidrage til at afhjælpe f.eks. markedssvigt med relation til barrierer for beskæftigelse og vækst; mener, at medlemsstaterne dernæst bør fastsætte specifikke og målbare mål i relation til de identificerede behov, og at Kommissionen kun bør godkende de LDP'er, som indeholder velunderbyggede og dækkende strategier med en klar begrundelse, der viser, hvordan politisk intervention kan bidrage til at sikre, at de strategiske målsætninger om at skabe vækstbetingelser og beskæftigelsesmuligheder samt forhindre affolkning af landdistrikter bliver opfyldt;
Invites Member States to define and apply criteria that ensure the selection of effective, sustainable projects with respect to Member States’ specific objectives; calls on the Commission to ensure that these criteria are correctly and continuously applied and welcomes the Commission’s proposal for the next programming period stipulating that selection criteria should be defined for operations under all measures;
anmoder medlemsstaterne om at fastlægge kriterier og anvende dem konsekvent, så det sikres, at de projekter, der mest effektivt og bæredygtigt kan opfylde medlemsstaternes specifikke mål, udvælges; mener, at Kommissionen bør sørge for, at disse kriterier anvendes korrekt og kontinuerligt og ikke kun, når budgetmidlerne er begrænsede;
Reiterates the belief that the Commission and Member States should promote the adoption of best practices in respect of the mitigation of deadweight and displacement risks; invites Member States to consider deadweight and displacement risks, both when drawing up their RDP and in project selection, and to target the aid to projects for which there is a demonstrable need for public support and which deliver added value; requests that the Commission report back to the discharge authority on the progress made as regards exchange of best practices on the mitigation of deadweight and displacement risks with Member States;
anmoder Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne om at udveksle og fremme indførelse af bedste praksis med hensyn til mindskelse af risiciene for dødvægt og forskydning;
Endorses the Court of Auditors’ recommendation that in the new programming period, the Commission should improve the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (CMEF) in a way that it provides useful information on the achievements of the projects and measures financed by means of enhancement of on-going evaluation activities; believes that current methodology, using lengthy mid-term evaluation reports, has proven to be inadequate;
kræver, at Kommissionen tilskynder medlemsstaterne til at indføre den praksis, at investeringsudgifter først er støtteberettigede fra den dato, hvor tilskuddet bliver godkendt;
Welcomes the Commission’s proposals for the monitoring and evaluation system for the period 2014–2020, replacing the requirement of a mid-term evaluation by extended annual implementation reports (in 2017 and 2019), which are to assess progress towards achieving the objectives of the programme, and the provision that Member States should carry out evaluations during the programming period according to an evaluation plan; reminds the Commission that collecting detailed data at measure level is indispensable for enabling the CMEF to provide details as to the success of the measures;
opfordrer Kommissionen til at sikre, at medlemsstaterne har effektive systemer til kontrol af omkostningernes rimelighed;
Part XVI
anmoder Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne om at øge deres bestræbelser på at mindske den administrative byrde og sikre, at betalingerne foretages inden for en rimelig tidsramme;
Special Report No 2/2013 of the Court of Auditors entitled - ‘Has the Commission ensured efficient implementation of the seventh framework programme for research?’
anmoder Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne om i forbindelse med den kommende programmeringsperiode 2014-2020 at sikre, at der indhentes relevante og pålidelige oplysninger med henblik på at lette forvaltningen og overvågningen af foranstaltningerne og dokumentere, i hvor høj grad den ydede støtte bidrager til at opfylde EU's overordnede prioriteringer; mener, at jobskabelsesmålene bør være realistiske, og at antallet af skabte job bør overvåges nøje; mener, at foranstaltningerne bør forvaltes bedre i hele programmeringsperioden, især hvis det viser sig, at de fastsatte mål ikke vil blive opfyldt;
Simplification
Del XXI
Agrees with the overall evaluation of the Court of Auditors that ‘the Commission has taken a number of steps to simplify the rules for participation’ by introducing a number of administrative and financial simplifications to FP7 rules for participation which reduce the administrative burden on beneficiaries and facilitate their access to the programme; believes, however, that the periods could be further shortened based on improved internal communication and the sharing of best practices among DGs, as well as the timely introduction of effective new IT tools;
Den Europæiske Revisionsrets særberetning nr. 7/2013 med titlen »Har Den Europæiske Fond for Tilpasning til Globaliseringen tilført EU-merværdi med hensyn til reintegration af afskedigede arbejdstagere?«
Welcomes the increased application of flat rates on direct and indirect costs, including the introduction of average personnel costs; emphasises, at the same time, the need for continued efforts towards the standardisation of reimbursement practices;
understreger den betydning, det tillægger forvaltningsrevisioner samt kontroller af lovligheden og rigtigheden, og hilser derfor Revisionsrettens særberetning velkommen, da den angiver positive såvel som negative resultataspekter og således tilkendegiver et afbalanceret overordnet synspunkt;
Expresses its concerns about the unsuccessful efforts to establish a certification mechanism for the approval of cost methodologies that would give assurance to the beneficiaries on their methodologies; considers that the wide-spread implementation of flat rate on indirect costs in Horizon 2020 will contribute further to preventing possible financial abuses and decreasing the error rates, thereby benefiting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), thus making the participation of potential beneficiaries from the new EU-12 Member States easier;
er dog klar over, at resultater kun kan evalueres, hvis der er fastsat mål og indikatorer i den forordning, som ligger til grund herfor; opfordrer derfor Kommissionen til at tage hensyn til Parlamentets holdning til forvaltningsrevisioner, når den udarbejder nye forslag til retsakter;
Agrees with the Court of Auditors that the Commission has introduced effective new front-office IT tools which have substantially improved the interaction with beneficiaries, led to less administrative burden for both sides and helped to avoid the risk of potential duplication of funding; is concerned, however, that a substantial challenge remains, i.e. the optimisation of back-office IT tools which ensures a further reduction of the administrative burden and to guarantee an effective interlink between the modules used by the different DGs; embraces the work on the common back-office IT tool (SYGMA) and the common electronic workflow tool (Compass), which has started well in advance and should ensure that these will be available for Horizon 2020;
glæder sig over, at næsten alle de arbejdstagere, der var berørt af masseafskedigelser som en konsekvens af globaliseringen og krisen, og som modtog støtte fra Den Europæiske Fond for Tilpasning til Globaliseringen (EGF), blev tilbudt individuelt tilpassede og velkoordinerede foranstaltninger;
Financial control
noterer sig med tilfredshed, at EGF-foranstaltningerne generelt også var velkoordinerede med de nationale foranstaltninger og ESF-foranstaltninger (Den Europæiske Socialfond);
Emphasises the necessity to strike the right balance between less administrative burden and effective financial control; notes that due to the specifics of the research field, a risk-tolerant and science-based approach should be encouraged so as to achieve research excellence and better impact of projects; believes that this approach will allow the Commission to uphold the balance between trust and control;
noterer sig de argumenter, som blev fremsat af de medlemsstater, der ikke ønskede at tage EGF særlig alvorlig; noterer sig, at der var tale om følgende argumenter:
Encourages the Commission to follow the Court of Auditors’ recommendation to concentrate the ex-ante checks on riskier beneficiaries, thereby introducing the beneficiary risk profile, based on results from the ex post controls and performance record;
medfinansieringssatsen er højere for ESF (i visse tilfælde op til 85 %) end for EGF (op til 65 %), hvilket er et incitament til ikke at anvende sidstnævnte; glæder sig derfor over Kommissionens genovervejelse af medfinansieringssatserne for den kommende EGF-periode
Efficiency and Effectiveness
ESF kan gennemføres hurtigere end EGF, eller de nationale myndigheder er mere fortrolige med ESF
Considers it necessary to put more emphasis on effectiveness, which is crucial for ensuring high-quality research in Europe, without underestimating the optimisation of administrative and financial practices and procedures, which is essential for achieving efficient implementation of FP7; is of the opinion that the realisation of a European Research Area is a key element for the long-term economic prosperity and competitiveness of the Union and that it is interlinked with the achievement of the established objectives and expected results from FP7; welcomes, in this regard, the introduction of performance indicators in Horizon 2020, which will measure programme implementation in terms of outputs, results and specific impacts, at the same time bearing in mind the programme objectives;
der ydes ikke forfinansiering under EGF
Encourages the channelling of research output into initiatives with a tangible beneficial impact on citizens' daily life, for example those that feed into the concept of smart cities and prevent the generation of research for the sake of research; believes that a potential area for innovation and development of technological and industrial base is security and defence; encourages, therefore, the further advancement of research activities in this field, with a view to exploiting possibilities for dual-use technologies and know-how transfer to the civilian sector, so as to better address societal challenges;
de mere restriktive EGF-betingelser, i særdeleshed handelskriteriet som det primære interventionskriterium for ansøgninger baseret på globalisering
Acknowledges the persistent gap between research outputs and successful product realisation on the market and urges the Commission to further promote the ‘research-innovation-market’ link to boost the relative economic competitiveness of the Union on a global scale;
proceduren for godkendelse af ansøgninger under EGF er lang;
Notes that the Union should identify its competitive advantage in cutting-edge areas of research and should work for encouraging young researchers to develop world-class research in Europe; believes that the introduction of a uniform and comprehensive definition for innovation would facilitate the application process and boost the attractiveness of the program for beneficiaries, especially SMEs with limited administrative capacities;
gentager dog, at EGF og ESF kan opfattes som supplerende instrumenter; anmoder dog Kommissionen om tydeligt at redegøre for, hvorfor ESF foretrækkes frem for ESF, da ESF viser sig i nogle tilfælde at være bedre tilpasset til at levere rettidige resultater og i visse tilfælde har bedre med- og forfinansieringssatser; bemærker desuden, at ESF er mere kendt i den europæiske offentlighed i visse medlemsstater end EGF [27];
New instruments
understreger, at det er af betydning for en sund økonomisk forvaltning, at reintegration af arbejdsløse på arbejdsmarkedet efter, at de har deltaget i EGF-foranstaltninger, kan fastslås på en pålidelig måde; mener, at EGF-forordningen (Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1927/2006 [28]) derfor bør opfordre medlemsstaterne til at måle reintegrationen ud over gennemførelsesperioden; påpeger derudover, at dataene bør være sammenlignelige og helst forbundet med kvantitative mål;
Welcomes the implementation of new forms of venture capital instruments for public private partnerships under FP7 — Joint Technology Initiatives (JTI) and Risk-sharing finance facility (RSFF), as well as the results these instruments have achieved in ensuring funding for long-term industrial investments and fostering private investments in research;
glæder sig i den forbindelse over, at Kommissionen i den nye EGF-forordning for programmeringsperioden 2014-2020 (Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) nr. 1309/2013 [29]) har foreslået et mål for reintegration på 50 % af den afskedigede arbejdsstyrke, således at de er i arbejde igen efter 12 måneders gennemførelse; spørger dog, hvad rationalet bag dette tal er;
Acknowledges that some JTIs have been particularly successful in involving SMEs in their projects with an average of 21 % of the total available funding provided by the JTIs to SMEs; notes that the functioning of the JTIs was affected by the overly complex legal framework and the prohibited implementation of common services which resulted in an average of 52 % of their staff devoted to administrative tasks;
