glæder sig over fremlæggelsen af »Overview Report on the Results of the Thematic Audit on Management Verifications Conducted by Member States«; bemærker, at det fremgår af rapporten, at kontrolmyndighederne udviser væsentlige mangler: at organiseringen af forløbet hos forvaltningsmyndighederne og de formidlende organer udviser svagheder, at kontroller ofte bare er rent formelle, at reglerne for offentlige indkøb overtrædes, at tildelingen af opgaver ikke matcher uddannelse og tilsyn, og at der mangler administrativ kapacitet og vejledning og glæder sig over anbefalingerne heri, herunder anvendelsen af forenklede omkostninger med forenklingsseminarer i alle medlemsstater, forbedret forvaltning gennem dedikerede hold til omkostningskontrol, flere kontroller på stedet af støttemodtagere, bedre tilsyn med delegerede organer og forvaltningsorganer, der begrænser godkendelserne til det, der rent faktisk kan forvaltes, og handlingsplaner, når der konstateres mangler;
Welcomes the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the application of net financial corrections on Member States for Agriculture and Cohesion policy (COM(2013) 934), because the Commission committed itself not only to ‘speed up the conformity procedure so that in standard cases the financial corrections can be decided two years after the initial audit took place’ but also to align the interruption and suspension for the common agricultural policy with cohesion policy funds; notes that both commitments have been called for by Parliament for many years, particularly in its resolution on the discharge for the financial year 2011 [29];
er meget bekymret over, at GD EMPL i 13 af de 117 årlige revisionsberetning fra 2012 har tilpasset den fejlprocent, der er angivet af medlemsstaterne, eller har vurderet den til at være upålidelig (i 2011 var dette tilfældet i 42 ud af de 117 årlige revisionsberetninger); mener, at dette er navnlig foruroligende, da Kommissionen bruger revisionspåtegningerne, de årlige revisionsberetninger samt forvaltningserklæringerne fra medlemsstaterne som grundlag for sine risikoanalyser og til sine egne revisioner;
Notes that all financial corrections in the field of agriculture are net financial corrections; considers it necessary, however, for the conformity procedure to have its full effect to accelerate the procedure and to further improve the criteria and methods for the application of net financial corrections beyond the new guidelines foreseen that will be based on the existing guidelines as decided on by the Commission already on 23 December 1997 [30],
anerkender, at Kommissionen i den seneste programmeringsperiode har kontrolleret 85 af 91 nationale revisionsmyndigheder; bemærker, at disse er ansvarlige for 111 operationelle programmer eller 99 % af de afsatte midler;
Stresses in particular that the shortening of the conformity procedure leading to financial corrections announced by the Commission cannot be evaluated before mid-2016, which means that Parliament will engage with the matter only as soon as in the course of the discharge procedure in the years 2017 and 2018;
beklager, at aktivitetsrapporten 2012 fra GD EMPL for så vidt angår de betalinger, der har fundet sted i programmeringsperioden 2007-2013, indeholder et forbehold vedrørende 68 mio. EUR, der vedrører 27 ud af 117 operationelle programmer (Spanien 9, Italien 4, Det Forenede Kongerige 3) og bemærker, at man anvendte procedurerne for afbrydelse og suspension, når dette var nødvendigt; fastholder behovet for forenkling;
calls on the newly elected Parliament to demand a firm undertaking from the new Commissioner to remedy the situation including preparing specific arrangements with the most exposed Member States in order to reinforce the protection of the Union budget;
glæder sig over den strenge anvendelse af afbrydelser og standsninger af betalinger; er enig med Kommissionen i, at dette er særdeles effektive mekanismer; bemærker, at der ifølge aktivitetsrapporten for 2012 fra GD EMPL i rapporteringsperioden har været 38 afbrydelser til en værdi af 881,7 mio. EUR (2013: 29 til en værdi af 389,5 mio. EUR) og to standsninger pr. 31. december 2012 (Tyskland);
Regional policy, energy and transport
glæder sig over Kommissionens rapport om »Simplification and Gold-Plating in the European Social Fund« [35] og opfordrer Kommissionen til at fortsætte sine bestræbelser på at forenkle forvaltningen i medlemsstaterne;
Stresses that regional policy, which is implemented primarily through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF), accounts for 96 % of expenditure in this field of policy, and that, in 2012, 97 % of regional policy expenditure was implemented through the ERDF (with payments of EUR 27,5 billion) and the CF (with payments of EUR 9,6 billion);
understreger, at der på det socialpolitiske område i stadig højere grad opstår alvorlige konflikter mellem medlemsstaternes og Unionens beføjelser; opfordrer Kommissionen til at respektere det velfærdsstatsprincip, der indgår i mange medlemsstaters forfatninger, og mener, at dette rummer store muligheder for besparelser for Unionens budget;
Observes that, of the 180 transactions audited by the Court of Auditors, 88 (49 %) were affected by errors; observes furthermore that, on the basis of the errors quantified by the Court, it estimates the most likely error rate to be 6,8 %, which means an increase of 0,8 percentage points in comparison with the previous year; notes that the Commission observes that the error rates would have remained unaltered if the Court of Auditors had taken account of flat-rate corrections;
kræver, at der gennemføres en politik til at nedbringe ungdomsarbejdsløsheden, der har en europæisk merværdi; mener, at Unionens rolle navnlig er at styrke infrastrukturen for erhvervsuddannelse og videreuddannelse; kræver i denne forbindelse en »ærlig« europæisk støttepolitik, der i meget højere grad har til hensigt at overføre knowhow fra medlemsstater med lav ungdomsarbejdsløshed til medlemsstater med høj ungdomsarbejdsløshed, men uden at der rejses uberettigede forventninger og uden at komme med yderligere løfter, som ikke hører under Unionens primære ansvarsområde;
Stresses that the findings of the Court of Auditors’ audit indicate weaknesses in the ‘first-level checks’ on expenditure; observes that, for 56 % of the regional policy transactions affected by error (quantifiable and/or non-quantifiable), the Court of Auditors considers that sufficient information was available for the Member State authorities to have detected and corrected one or more of the errors before certifying the expenditure to the Commission; observes furthermore that the main source of error is the financing of projects which do not accord with Union and/or national public procurement rules or do not meet the conditions for financial support, and payment of ineligible costs;
kritiserer, at Kommissionen ikke har reageret på gentagne opfordringer fra Parlamentet om at sætte tal på, hvor mange EU-midler (i absolutte tal og i procent) der er blevet brugt på forbedringer af uddannelsesstrukturen i finansieringsperioden 2007-2013;
Draws attention to the multiannuality of the cohesion policy management system and underlines that the final evaluation of irregularities related to the policy implementation will be possible only at the closure of the programming period;
bemærker, at det ikke er muligt at vise EU-borgere og -skatteydere, hvad der er opnået med milliardbeløb fra ESF og strukturfondene med hensyn til bekæmpelse af ungdomsarbejdsløsheden; bemærker, at dem, som er ansvarlige for arbejdsmarkedsforanstaltninger på stedet, anfægter den angivelige manglende indsamling af statistiske data; bemærker i denne forbindelse medlemsstaternes vigtige rolle med hensyn til at levere statistikker og regelmæssige rapporter på grundlag af fælles kriterier for anvendelse af EU-midler, der anvendes til at afhjælpe ungdomsarbejdsløshed; minder Kommissionen om, at den står til ansvar for, at Unionens skatteindtægter går til unge arbejdsløse, og anser resultaterne af Unionens støttepolitik netop med henblik på de forventninger, der er rejst vedrørende nedbringelse af ungdomsarbejdsløsheden, for utilstrækkelige;
Considers it unacceptable that, for years, errors of the same kind continue to be identified, often in the same Member States; acknowledges that suspension and interruptions of payments by the Commission ensures that corrective actions are carried out in cases where deficiencies were identified; calls on the Commission to step up monitoring of national and regional management and control systems in the light of this finding, and to ease monitoring in countries where management and control systems have proved reliable;
bemærker behovet for en integreret fremgangsmåde og komplementaritet af foranstaltninger til afhjælpning af ungdomsarbejdsløsheden i Unionen og på nationalt plan samt inden for andre EU-finansierede programmer og instrumenter, der kan bidrage til at nedbringe ungdomsarbejdsløsheden, såsom Horisont 2020, Erasmus+ og Erasmus for unge iværksættere; mener, at dette vil sikre en effektiv og omkostningseffektiv anvendelse af EU-midlerne og de nationale politikkers merværdi til indsatsen på EU-plan.
Agrees with the Court of Auditors that Member States have a duty to prevent or detect and correct irregular expenditure and reporting on this subject to the Commission; observes that the administrative and certification authorities in the Member States therefore have a key role to play in ensuring the regularity of the expenditure reimbursed by the Commission (point 5.12 of the Annual Report for 2012);
kræver f.eks. oplysninger om en stor bedragerisag i forbindelse med ESF i Spanien; bemærker, at bedrageriet bestod i at afholde uddannelses- og videreuddannelseskurser, som rent fiktivt skal have fundet sted på internettet med ikkeeksisterende deltagere, hvor støttens størrelse i dette tilfælde afhang af antallet af tilmeldte deltagere; er bekymret, fordi det drejer sig om flere mio. EUR; forventer, at Kommissionen redegør for, hvorfor ingen af kontrollørerne i det hierarki af kontrolforpligtelser, der er fastsat i fondsforordningen (revisionsretten for Madrid, den spanske revisionsret, Europa-Kommissionen — GD EMPL, EU-Revisionsretten) har bemærket dette tilfælde, og om OLAF har været inddraget; kræver at få oplyst, om Revisionsretten havde kendskab hertil; kræver oplysning om, hvor mange lignende tilfælde der har været tidligere (eksempelvis i Nederlandene og andre medlemsstater);
Observes that the Court of Auditors audited the supervisory and control systems of four audit authorities in four countries, finding the systems in Belgium (Wallonia), Malta and the United Kingdom (England, in the case of the European Social Fund (ESF)) to be only partially effective, while it found the systems in Slovakia to be effective;
gentager sin opfordring til at overvåge de finansielle instrumenter, især ESF, Den Europæiske Fond for Tilpasning til Globaliseringen, relevante komponenter i førtiltrædelsesinstrumentet og den europæiske mikrofinansieringsfacilitet Progress, og måle deres resultater i forhold til de specifikke politikmål, som er fastsat i EU's 2020-strategi og i den årlige politiske proces i forbindelse med det europæiske semester;
Welcomes that, since 2009, 62 of the 112 audit authorities have been checked by the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion; observes that these audit authorities are responsible for 257 of the 317 ERDF/CF operational programmes and 48 of the 117 ESF operational programmes; observes, furthermore, that the audit authorities examined during the four-year period were responsible for 95 % of the ERDF/CF appropriations for the 2007-2013 programming period;
kritiserer desuden, at traktaten om oprettelse af den europæiske stabilitetsmekanisme mangler tilstrækkelige bestemmelser til at sikre en effektiv ekstern revision; beklager, at kun et medlem i henhold til artikel 24 (revisionsudvalg) i traktatens gennemførelsesbestemmelser kan udpeges af Revisionsretten, mens to medlemmer udpeges på forslag af formanden;
Notes with concern that the Court of Auditors audited the reports by national audit authorities on 138 ERDF/CF and ESF operational programmes and in many cases found shortcomings in them; notes that the Commission stresses in this connection that in cases in which the Commission judged the reported error rate to be unreliable, flat-rate corrections were made where appropriate;
er bekymret over bestemmelsen i artikel 24, stk. 6, i traktatens gennemførelsesbestemmelser, hvori det fastlægges, at Parlamentet kun informeres gennem en årlig rapport fra revisionsudvalget til Parlamentet; fremhæver Parlamentets ret til at have en drøftelse om den årlige rapport med revisionsudvalget i nærværelse af ESM's styrelsesråd;
Is concerned that the Commission takes the opinions, the annual audit reports and the management declarations which it receives up to 15 February of year ‘n+1’ as a basis for its risk analysis and for its own audits, although the documents frequently contain inaccuracies; observes that they therefore do not permit a definite risk analysis;
Eksterne forbindelser
Calls on the Commission, therefore, on the basis of an independent audit procedure (using risk analyses of its own, reports by the Court of Auditors and other sources) to perform audits of final beneficiaries and granting authorities in year ‘n+1’ in those Member States which have attracted attention because of shortcomings in administrative and audit systems in year ‘n-1’; calls therefore for a comprehensible automatic system;
bemærker med bekymring, at Revisionsretten anslår den mest sandsynlige fejlprocent for så vidt angår eksterne forbindelser, bistand og udvidelse til 3,3 % (2011: 1,1 %);
Calls on the Commission, during the 2014-2020 programming period, itself to audit, by means of random samples taken by itself, all operational programmes which have attracted attention because of the level of funding, the frequency of errors or shortcomings in supervisory and control systems;
understreger, at stigningen i fejlprocenten også skal ses på baggrund af den nye stikprøvemetode, som Revisionsretten har udviklet, og at Revisionsrettens stikprøve for 2012 kun omfattede mellemliggende betalinger, endelige betalinger og afregninger af forskud;
Would consider it right for the guidelines for audits by the Commission itself to be laid down in the form of an obligation imposed on itself by the Commission; calls on the Commission already to present them in the run-up to the 2013 budget discharge procedure; calls for clear indications, to this end, of the extent to which Member States and programmes which have attracted attention in the past are being subjected to a special audit approach and the extent to which net financial corrections can be accelerated; considers that this approach should also be reflected in forthcoming delegated acts;
konstaterer med bekymring, at alle de fejl, som Revisionsretten har påvist, vedrørte transaktioner, der principielt er blevet kontrolleret af Kommissionen, og at ingen af de omhandlede fejl i den forbindelse er blevet forhindret eller påvist;
Is aware that automatic penalties cannot be imposed, as this would be contrary to the rule of law; calls, therefore, on the Commission to do everything in its power to shorten the adversarial procedures preceding the imposition of net corrections or interruptions of payments; calls on the Commission, before the 2013 discharge procedure, to report on the progress made;
minder om, at den metodiske ændring i Revisionsrettens stikprøvemetode giver mulighed for at sammenligne fejlprocenten inden for delt forvaltning (5,3 %) med fejlprocenten inden for central forvaltning (4,3 %) og bemærker i den forbindelse, at Kommissionens resultat med hensyn til de eksterne forbindelser er forholdsvist godt;
Welcomes further that between mid-2010 and November 2013 the Commission performed additional checks on audit authorities, intermediate bodies and beneficiaries (77 audits on more than 70 operational programmes in 16 Member States) to verify the quality of administrative audits;
gør opmærksom på, at restfejlforekomsten på 3,63 %, der er anført i revisionsrapporten fra Moore and Stephens, der er bestilt af EuropeAid, ligger over den af Revisionsrettens anslåede årlige fejlprocent; understreger, at det er i modstrid med Kommissionens argument om, at fejlprocenten på grund af de foretagne fejlkorrektioner nødvendigvis er lavere ved periodens afslutning;
Stresses that, according to statistics from the 2012 activity report of DG REGIO, risk-affected payments ranged between EUR 755,8 million (minimum) and 1706,8 million (maximum); observes that, in this context, the Commission expressed 61 reservations for programmes or parts thereof and 25 reputation reservations, primarily concerning Spain, Sweden, European territorial cooperation and the Czech Republic; impresses on the Commission that it needs to continue to pursue the greatest possible simplification in order to avoid to the maximum any possibility of error;
opfordrer indtrængende Kommissionen til effektivt at korrigere de konstaterede fejl og effektivt at gennemføre inddrivelserne;
Welcomes the fact that the new Common Provisions Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council [31] introduces a series of improvements: payment of the first instalment only after adoption of the operational programme; decommitment three years after expiry of the programme (‘n+3’); reduction of advance payments; 10 % of the calculated amount of invoices is withheld from payments until the final statement has been approved; country-specific recommendations may be included in partnership agreements;
fastslår, at Kommissionens relativt gode resultat for de eksterne forbindelser i det mindste delvist kan have sin forklaring i, at fejlprocenten for transaktionerne på to områder — budgetstøtte og Unionens bidrag til multidonorprojekter, der gennemføres af internationale organisationer som f.eks. FN — på grund af betalingsbetingelsernes art er begrænset;
Welcomes the new rules for the 2014-2020 programming period, decided through the ordinary legislative procedure, including measures such as the designations of audit and certifying authorities, accreditations of audit authorities, audit examination and acceptance of accounts, financial corrections and net financial corrections, proportional control, ex ante conditionalities that aim to further contribute to the reduction of the level of error; supports in this respect the growing results orientation and the thematic concentration of cohesion policy that should assure high added-value of the co-financed operations; welcomes also the definition of serious deficiency and the anticipated increased level of corrections for repeated deficiencies;
bemærker med tilfredshed, at Revisionsretten vurderede, at GD ELARG's overvågnings- og kontrolsystem var effektivt, selv om den metode, der er anvendt til beregning af restfejlforekomsten, skal forbedres;
Regrets, however, that under the new ERDF Regulation (EU) No 1301/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council [32] too, Member States may replace projects affected by errors which were identified in year ‘n’ with new projects, eliminating an essential incentive for the careful use of appropriations; considers that this arrangement should be restricted at the earliest opportunity and fundamentally re-regulated by 2020 at the latest;
beklager, at der stadig er mangler i den forudgående kontrol og i kontrol- og overvågningssystemerne hos EuropeAid, og at den omstrukturering, der er foretaget af Kommissionen i 2011, ifølge Revisionsrettens resultater fortsat indvirker negativt på arbejdet i dens interne revisionsfunktion; beklager, at EuropeAids overvågnings- og kontrolsystemer kun er moderat effektive og ikke fører til, at væsentlige fejl opdages og korrigeres;
Regrets furthermore that the criteria for assessing the systems (‘serious deficiencies’) and for establishing the level of flat rate financial corrections were not conclusively defined in the Regulation (EU) No 1301/2013; expects the detailed and operational criteria that will allow the Commission to apply the notion of ‘serious deficiency’ to be laid down in a delegated act;
er enig i Revisionsrettens anbefalinger om, at Kommissionen bør sikre en rettidig afregning af udgifterne, fremme en bedre dokumentforvaltning via de partnere, der er ansvarlige for gennemførelsen, og støttemodtagerne, forbedre forvaltningen af kontrakttildelingsprocedurerne gennem fastlæggelse af klare udvælgelseskriterier og bedre dokumentation for evalueringsprocessen, øge kvaliteten af de udgiftsrevisioner, der foretages af eksterne revisorer, og anvende en sammenhængende og praktisk anvendelig metode til beregning af restfejlforekomsten i generaldirektoraterne med ansvar for eksterne forbindelser;
Recognises that in the course of the discharge procedure a number of bilateral meetings have taken place between the rapporteur and the Commission on horizontal issues of the delegated act specifying further how ‘serious deficiencies’ could be more clearly defined and on how financial corrections could be tightened in case of persisting serious deficiencies; regrets that the proposals of the Committee on Budgetary Control on the level of financial corrections (adding a 50 % and a 75 % rate) were not taken into consideration; deplores that in the latest draft delegated act (of 4 February 2014) the initial automatism for inflicting financial corrections at a higher level, if the same serious deficiency is identified in a subsequent accounting year, has become optional and, as a consequence, the requirement for Member States to put in place supervisory and control systems guaranteeing sound financial management has been weakened;
glæder sig over de forvaltningsrevisioner, som Revisionsretten har foretaget, navnlig i sine særberetninger om Den Europæiske Unions bistand til Den Demokratiske Republik Congo, Egypten og Palæstina, da det i den forbindelse vurderes, om Kommissionens forvaltning overholder principperne om sparsommelighed, produktivitet og effektivitet; foreslår i lyset af disse beretninger, at Kommissionen og Revisionsretten arbejder tæt sammen for at udvikle både målbare indikatorer og metodologien for forvaltningsrevisioner, idet der fokuseres på EU-finansierede projekter med en stærk politisk karakter såsom projekter rettet mod en styrkelse af respekten for menneskerettigheder, retsstatsprincippet og demokratiet, når en beslutning om at fortsætte eller indstille et projekt ikke kun afhænger af de konkrete resultater inden for en bestemt tidsramme;
Welcomes the communication from the Commission concerning net financial corrections on Member States (COM(2013) 934); has doubts, however, as to whether the documents submitted by Member States by 15 February of year ‘n+1’ provide a sound basis for a risk analysis; observes furthermore that the adversarial procedure which may lead to the imposition of net corrections takes four months, which is too long;
støtter Kommissionens fortsatte bestræbelser på at skifte fra en inputbaseret til en resultat- og effektorienteret tilgang og opfordrer indtrængende til vedtagelse af specifikke, målelige, realiserbare, relevante og tidsbestemte benchmarks for alle programmer under udgiftsområde 4 som anbefalet af Revisionsretten; udtrykker håb om, at disse programmer ikke vil blive påvirket af de samme mangler som dem, der blev konstateret i dette års beretning;
Calls, in light of the high levels of public procurement errors in cohesion policy and with regard to the Court of Auditor’s seminar on EU public procurement in January 2014, for a stronger and immediate implementation of existing rules in this area in the Member States; calls furthermore for a better coordination of public procurement rules at the level of all stakeholders and a simplification and harmonisation of rules and financial corrections;
