beklager imidlertid, at medlemsstaterne også i henhold til den nye EFRU-forordning Europa-Parlamenetets og Rådets forordning (EU) nr. 1301/2013 [32] kan erstatte fejlbehæftede projekter, der opdages i år »n«, med nye projekter, hvorved et væsentligt incitament til en omhyggelig anvendelse af bevillingerne bortfalder; er af den opfattelse, at denne regel bør begrænses ved førstgivne lejlighed, og at der senest i 2020 bør indføres helt nye regler;
Rural development, environment, fisheries and health
beklager desuden, at kriterier for vurdering af systemerne (»alvorlige mangler«) og for fastsættelse af niveauet for faste finansielle korrektioner, ikke er blevet defineret endeligt i forordning (EU) nr. 1301/2013; forventer, at de detaljerede og operationelle kriterier, som vil gøre det muligt for Kommissionen at anvende begrebet »alvorlig mangel«, fastsættes i en delegeret retsakt;
Regrets that the payments in rural development, environment, fisheries and health are not free from material error in 2012, that the supervisory and control systems examined for expensed payments were partially effective or — in one case — not effective, and deplores the increase in the most likely error rate to 7,9 % (7,7 % in 2011);
anerkender, at der i løbet af dechargeproceduren er afholdt en række bilaterale møder mellem ordføreren og Kommissionen om horisontale spørgsmål i den delegerede retsakt, hvor man yderligere specificerede, hvordan »alvorlige mangler« kunne defineres tydeligere, og hvordan de finansielle korrektioner kan strammes i tilfælde af vedvarende alvorlige mangler; beklager, at Budgetkontroludvalgets forslag om niveauet af de finansielle korrektioner (tilføjelse af en sats på 50 % og en på 75 %) ikke blev taget med i betragtning; beklager, at den oprindelige automatik for indførelse af finansielle korrektioner, hvis samme alvorlige mangel konstateres i et efterfølgende regnskabsår, i det seneste forslag til delegeret retsakt (af 4. februar 2014) er gjort valgfri, og derfor er kravet om, at medlemsstaterne skal indføre tilsyns- og kontrolsystemer, der sikrer en forsvarlig økonomisk forvaltning, blevet svækket;
Notes that, for a significant number of transactions affected by error, the Court of Auditors considers that the national authorities had enough information to detect and correct the errors concerned; asks the Court of Auditors to give precise information in this regard;
glæder sig over Kommissionens meddelelse om finansielle nettokorrektioner over for medlemsstater (COM(2013) 934; er dog i tvivl om, om de dokumenter, der skal indleveres af medlemsstaterne senest den 15. februar i år »n+1«, udgør et solidt grundlag for en risikoanalyse; konstaterer endvidere, at den kontradiktoriske procedure, der kan føre til pålægning af nettokorrektioner, tager fire måneder, hvilket er for lang tid;
Points out that, as in 2011, the major component (65 %) of the most likely error rate reported by the Court of Auditors concerns non-area-related measures, and stresses that the reason for most quantifiable errors was that the beneficiaries did not respect the eligibility requirements, in particular those concerning agri-environment commitments, special requirements for investment projects and public procurement rules;
opfordrer i lyset af det store antal fejl i offentlige indkøb inden for samhørighedspolitikken og som følge af Revisionsrettens seminar om EU's offentlige indkøb i januar 2014 til en stærkere og mere umiddelbar gennemførelse af de eksisterende regler på dette område i medlemsstaterne; opfordrer desuden til en bedre koordinering af reglerne for offentlige indkøb hos alle interessenter og en forenkling og harmonisering af reglerne og de finansielle korrektioner;
Is deeply concerned about the fact that once again the Court of Auditors identifies significant problems concerning the implementation of cross-compliance requirements for the identification and registration of animals; calls on the Member States to improve the quality of checks throughout the year without imposing an additional administrative load on the beneficiaries;
glæder sig over den eventuelle indførelse af frivillige nationale erklæringer om medlemsstaternes forvaltning på områderne med delt forvaltning;
Reiterates its regret that in 2012 the Commission applied different methodologies to quantify public procurement errors in the policy areas of agriculture and cohesion, both of which furthermore are not in line with the Court of Auditors’ methodology, and calls on the Commission and the Court of Auditors to harmonise the treatment of public procurement errors in shared management without delay and to report to the discharge authority on the changes;
kræver, at Kommissionen årligt inddrager Parlamentet rettidigt i medfinansieringen af TEN-T/CEF med oplysninger om valg af transportinfrastrukturprojekter og beløb; anmoder Kommissionen om årligt at forelægge Parlamentet en oversigt over transportprojekter og medfinansierede beløb via regional- og samhørighedsfondene;
Reiterates its concern about the fact that many errors were detected when beneficiaries were public bodies and that those errors concerned issues such as declaring ineligible VAT or not complying with public procurement rules; calls, therefore, on the Commission and the Member States to ensure that the existing rules are better enforced;
opfordrer Kommissionen til at definere og indføre hurtige foranstaltninger for at rette op på svaghederne ved revisionssystemet inden for politikområdet samhørighed;
Regrets that the Court of Auditors identified weaknesses [27] in the supervisory and control systems of France, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania for rural development and that the three elements audited were affected by deficiencies: i.e. the administrative and control systems to ensure correct payment, the control systems based on physical on-the-spot checks, and systems to ensure implementation and control of cross-compliance;
Kommissionen skal gennemføre flere revisioner hos endelige modtagere og bevillingsmyndigheder i år »n« i medlemsstater, hvor der er konstateret mangler i forvaltnings- og kontrolsystemerne i år »n-1«
Notes with concern that the weaknesses detected in 2012 in the above-mentioned Member States were very similar to those found and reported in the six different Member States which were audited in 2011 (Denmark, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Austria and Finland);
understreger, at Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1080/2006 [33] betyder, at virksomheder ikke må modtage fællesskabsmidler til investeringer, der fører til nedlæggelse af arbejdspladser i samme firma i en anden region i EU; hilser det derfor velkomment, at Kommissionen har igangsat en undersøgelse af mulig relokalisering i forbindelse med store projekter på over 50 mio. EUR, der er underlagt Kommissionens direkte kontrol; forventer at Kommissionen igangsætter en undersøgelse af omfanget af denne form for misbrug af EU-midler i forbindelse med projekter på under 50 mio. EUR og projekter under delt forvaltning; forventer ligeledes at Kommissionen sikrer, at EU-midler, som er udbetalt i strid med reglerne, tilbagebetales;
Is concerned that ultimately similar errors might exist in all Member States;
kræver, at Kommissionen sikrer, at EU-strukturfondsmidlerne ikke anvendes på en måde, der direkte eller indirekte understøtter relokalisering af tjenesteydelser eller produktion til andre medlemsstater;
Notes with concern that the most important weakness detected by the Court of Auditors this year concerned ineffective checks of compliance with procurement rules which were apparent in Sweden, Germany (Brandenburg and Berlin), Poland, Bulgaria and Romania, and that overall the audit detected more than EUR 9 million of ineligible expenditure resulting from the non-respect of the procurement rules;
anmoder det nyvalgte Parlament om som en presserende opgave at fastsætte i den nye Kommissions arbejdsprogram, at de konstaterede mangler inden for politikområderne landbrug og regionalpolitik afhjælpes;
Regrets that, on account of differences in approach between the Court of Auditors and the Commission on the issue of financial clearance, Parliament cannot assess with accuracy its impact on the legality and regularity of the underlying operations; notes that, according to the Court of Auditors, the results of the conformity audits were not sufficiently taken into account for the financial clearance decision; calls on the Commission and the Court of Auditors, in the context of the adversarial procedure, to reach agreement on the financial clearance procedure;
anmoder det nyvalgte Parlament om i den skriftlige procedure forud for høringerne af de indstillede medlemmer af den nye Kommission at komme ind på de omtalte svage punkter i landbrugs- og regionalpolitikken og afkræve løfter, som kan føre til en bedre beskyttelse af Unions budget;
Shares the concerns voiced by the Court of Auditors concerning the weaknesses detected in the conformity audit work as regards quality control, audit documentation and the manner of evaluating evidence and forming conclusions;
Kommissionens taskforce for Grækenland
Welcomes the fact that the Commission has increased the total amount of financial corrections in recent years whilst reducing the proportion of flat-rate corrections significantly in 2012; recognises at the same time that flat-rate corrections, under certain circumstances, can also be an appropriate means to protect the Union budget
værdsætter arbejdet i taskforcen for Grækenland; bemærker, at ud af de 181 prioriterede produkter, som gruppen identificerede, er følgende projekter til en værdi af 415,7 mio. EUR i fare:
Shares nevertheless the concern expressed by the Court of Auditors that the use of flat-rate corrections does not sufficiently take into account the nature and gravity of the infringement and that the length of the procedure is a persistent problem with conformity decisions; deems flat-rate corrections however a necessary tool for situations where a more precise calculation is not feasible; therefore requests that the Commission set out criteria for the calculation of flat rate corrections that will ensure that the nature and gravity of the deficiency is adequately taken into account;
den nye havn i Igoumenitsa, fase C, med et godkendt beløb på 81,25 mio. EUR
Is disappointed by the fact that the Court of Auditors found serious deficiencies in the implementation of the reinforcement-of-assurance procedure in 4 of the 5 Member States which applied this new procedure: Bulgaria and Romania for European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and Luxembourg and the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) for European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF);
forstadsbanen Piraeus-3 Gefyres med et medfinansieret budget på 70 mio. EUR
Notes that DG AGRI’s annual activity report contains a reservation for the total EAFRD expenditure for 2012 and that this reservation is due to concerns about the quality of controls in some Member States as well as the error rate reported by the Court of Auditors;
anlæggelse af en ny kaj i havnen i Symi med et godkendt beløb på 4,1 mio. EUR
Regrets however that DG AGRI’s reservation for EAFRD suffers from two deficiencies: DG AGRI was unable to provide its own quantified estimate of the residual error rate or to make an assessment for each paying agency on whether or not to apply a higher error rate on the basis on information from its own audits;
et nationalt register med et godkendt beløb på 41,9 mio. EUR
Calls on the Member States to carry out their existing administrative checks in an efficient way by using all relevant information available to the paying agencies, as this has the potential to detect and correct the majority of the errors;
matrikelregister med et medfinansieret budget på 130 mio. EUR
Calls on the Commission to continue to provide guidance and assistance to Member States by means of best practice, through systematic interruptions of payments, financial corrections according to the severity of the error and also, in addition, by drawing up short term and ad hoc action plans;
e-billet med et godkendt beløb på 34,76 mio. EUR
Calls on the Commission to ensure in the area of rural development that uniform standards and procedures are being equally applied and observed both by its approving and auditing bodies; stresses that the application of different standards between approving and auditing bodies has consequently led to confusion at the level of national paying agencies and project applicants in the past, resulting in delays and restrictions in project applications; stresses that any changes in the application and approval procedure for an EAFRD contribution may only be binding for the future and thus shall not apply to any previously approved projects;
genopretning af Karla-søen med et godkendt beløb på 41 mio. EUR
Calls on the Commission to ensure that any future guidelines on eligibility conditions and selection criteria for the new programming period 2014-2020 of EAFRD are being equally set as a common standard not only for national competent bodies and paying agencies but also for its approving and auditing bodies; stresses that those guidelines should be constructed in a way that practicable implementation on the ground is possible;
forbedring af adgangsvejen til deponien i den 2. geografiske enhed i præfekturet Aitolo Akarnania med et godkendt beløb på 11,4 mio. EUR
Notes with disappointment that the Director-General of DG AGRI himself announced in the DG’s annual activity report for 2012 that despite the fact that the Commission set up a comprehensive action plan to address the increase of the error rate in rural development ‘it is to be noted that it will not be feasible to produce a significant impact on the error rate before 2014 at the earliest’; points out that the Court of Auditors agreed with this latter assessment in its Annual Report for the financial year 2012;
forbedring og udvidelse af provinsvejen mellem Stimagka, Koutsi og Nemea med et godkendt beløb på 7,1 mio. EUR
Stresses that this assertion justifies that the discharge authority requires formal commitments with binding requirements and deadlines for the Commission and certain Member States to implement in full all remedial measures referred to under paragraphs 40 to 67 of this resolution, leading to a reduction of the error rates in the future;
udskiftning af den centrale vandledning i Zakynthos med et godkendt beløb på 9,6 mio. EUR
Notes that the amounts declared irrecoverable from the EAGF due to insolvency of the beneficiary amount to EUR 351,6 million since 2007 as reported by the Commission; notes also that a further EUR 6 million have not been recovered since 2007 for the reason that the costs exceeded the benefits of the recovery; expects the Commission to provide those amounts each year in its Annual Activity report and elaborate ways how Member States can diminish the risk of funding beneficiaries at the brink to insolvency;
anmoder Kommissionen om at underrette Parlamentet nærmere om de problemer, der har været med disse projekter;
Notes that in accordance with Article 33(7) (EAFRD) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 [28] a Member State may decide to halt the recovery procedure subject to the conditions laid down in Article 32(6) of that Regulation, only after closure of the programme; notes that all amounts in relation to EAFRD debts declared irrecoverable in the financial years 2007-2012, i.e. EUR 0,9 million of debts, do not have any valid justification; asks the Commission to explain what it is planning to do in this regard;
anmoder om, at Kommissionen vurderer muligheden for at oprette en taskforce for de medlemsstater, der kæmper med gennemførelsen af EU's fonde;
Observes that some Member States ran multiannual programs in the MFF 2007-2013 and some paying agencies were obliged to undertake recoveries from beneficiaries even when small amounts of no more than some cents were concerned (since Article 33(7) in connection with Article 32(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 was only applicable after closure of a rural development program); is worried since for these small amounts costs for the recovery clearly exceeded the amounts to be recovered; notes that for the financial year 2013 and 2014 no changes are in sight for the Member States concerned; notes that the Commission was informed about the problem early on; is surprised that the Commission has not reacted faster to remedy the embarrassing situation for the Union; calls on the Commission to take a more pro-active approach in solving such nuisances in the coming MFF when they come to the Commission’s attention;
Beskæftigelse og sociale anliggender
Recommendations as regards direct payments and rural development
understreger, at beskæftigelses- og socialpolitikken især gennemføres via Den Europæiske Socialfond (ESF), hvor ca. 11782 mio. EUR, dvs. 97 % af bevillingerne, stilles til rådighed af ESF;
Endorses the following recommendations of the Court of Auditors: the Commission should address all the weaknesses identified in its conformity audits and the persistent problem of long delays in the conformity procedure as a whole; the Commission should further improve its method of determining financial corrections so as to take better account of the nature and gravity of the infringements detected; the Commission should address the weaknesses identified in systems for procurement and grant agreements;
bemærker, at der var fejl i 63 (35 %) af de 180 transaktioner, der er blevet revideret af Revisionsretten; gør opmærksom på, at Revisionsretten på grundlag af de fejl, den har kvantificeret i 31 transaktioner, anslår den mest sandsynlige fejlprocent til 3,2 %, hvilket udgør en stigning på 1 % i forhold til sidste år; noterer sig, at Kommissionen bemærker, at fejlprocenten ville være forblevet uændret, dvs. tæt på væsentlighedstærsklen, hvis Revisionsretten havde taget højde for de generelle finansielle korrektioner, der blev gennemført i 2012, og som var særligt højere (en fast andel på 25 %) i én medlemsstat;
Supports the recommendations and good practices to reduce errors by addressing gold-plating as suggested in the Parliament’s study on ‘Gold-Plating in the EAFRD: To what extent do national rules unnecessarily add to complexity and, as a result, increase the risk of errors?’; notes that there are forms of gold-plating where benefits outweigh the costs and where regulation is justified (‘good’ gold-plating practices), whereas numerous other practices of gold-plating appear to be disproportionate and costs outweigh the benefits (‘bad’ gold-plating practices); demands that the latter gold-plating forms be addressed;
understreger, at resultaterne af Revisionsrettens revision viser, at der er svagheder i »kontroller på første niveau« af udgifter; bemærker, at Revisionsretten ligesom i de foregående år mener med hensyn til 67 % af de fejlbehæftede transaktioner (både kvantificerbare og ikke-kvantificerbare), at myndighederne i medlemsstaterne havde tilstrækkelig mange oplysninger til, at de kunne have opdaget og korrigeret én eller flere fejl, før de attesterede udgifterne over for Kommissionen; bemærker desuden, at den primære kilde til fejl er afregningen af ikke-støtteberettigede udgifter samt overtrædelser af reglerne for offentlige indkøb;
Requests in this respect the immediate implementation of the so-called ‘quick wins’ to assess potential costs together with expected policy benefits when introducing ambitious requirements and commitments, to tackle problematic administrative and procedural requirements, as well as to avoid ambiguous and unclear requirements;
støtter Kommissionen i dens ønske om at indføre den forenklede omkostningsordning, som har fandtes siden 2007, og opfordrer medlemsstaterne til at anvende forenklede omkostninger, når det er muligt, i forbindelse med afregninger i alle lande, da dette gør projekterne mere fejlsikre, hvilket bekræftes af Revisionsretten;
Asks also for structural changes leading to long-term solutions such as a permanent knowledge-sharing platform among managing authorities and paying agencies across the Union so that EAFRD specific bodies can learn by examples and best practices when discussing areas of ambiguity as well as overly complex requirements and controls; demands in this respect the accessibility to this platform in all Member States;
glæder sig over, at den nye ESF-forordning [34] udvider mulighederne for at anvende den forenklede omkostningsordning: fra 2014 kan der således afvikles faste beløb på op til 100000 EUR, og ved projekter, der modtager mindre end 50000 EUR i offentlig støtte, er anvendelsen af den forenklede omkostningsordning obligatorisk;
Conclusions as regards the common agricultural policy
mener, at Kommissionens planer om inden 2017 at anvende den forenklede omkostningsordning til 50 % af ESF-transaktionerne bør anses for et minimum og opfordrer alle medlemsstater til at sikre, at gennemførelsen af forenklede omkostninger overstiger dette tal; opfordrer Kommissionen til forud for dechargeproceduren 2013 at oplyse om fremskridtene med hensyn til medlemsstaternes gennemførelse af den forenklede omkostningsordning;
Considers that the way in which the Commission addresses the deficiencies detected in the LPIS system (excessively long conformity procedures leading to the flat-rate corrections with delayed inclusion of action plans and reservations in the annual activity reports) creates a financial risk to the budget of the Union; calls, in order to remedy shortcomings in LPIS systems, for action plans to be implemented promptly; calls, in the event of failure to comply with the deadlines, for proportionate reduction and suspension of monthly or intermediate payments to the Member States concerned in order to avoid creating a financial risk to the budget of the Union.
bemærker, at Revisionsretten har revideret overvågnings- og kontrolsystemer hos fire revisionsmyndigheder i fire lande og i den forbindelse vurderede, at overvågnings- og kontrolsystemerne i Belgien (Vallonien), Malta og Det Forenede Kongerige (England) kun var delvist effektive, mens overvågnings- og kontrolsystemerne i Slovakiet derimod var effektive;
Points out in particular that despite decisions on flat rate corrections the errors detected by the Court of Auditors in 2006 in France and Portugal and confirmed by the Commission in 2008 were still not fully remedied by the Member States in 2012; stresses that from 2006 to 2013 direct payments were made whose legality and regularity were not fully guaranteed; is concerned about the Union budget, since financial corrections have not yet been made for wrongly paid appropriations between 2008 and 2013 in France and between 2010 and 2013 in Portugal, as a result of persistent errors in the LPIS that were detected in 2006; notes, however, that the Commission applied net financial corrections for the financial years prior to 2008 in France and prior to 2010 in Portugal; calls on the Commission to offset the entire financial risk of such errors in the Union budget through net corrections;
