er bekymret over Revisionsrettens konstateringer af, at der oftere konstateres fejl i transaktioner i relation til programoverslag, tilskud og bidragsaftaler mellem Kommissionen og internationale organisationer end for andre former for støtte, hvilket udgør 31 transaktioner ud af de 71 reviderede (dvs. 44 %);
Calls on the Supervisor to continue informing Parliament’s Committee on Budgetary Control on the follow-up of the recommendations which are set forth in Parliament’s discharge resolutions;
gentager behovet for at styrke samarbejdet og kontakten med internationale organisationer om de konstaterede fejl i de transaktioner, de har foretaget, og for en diskussion om, hvordan man i fællesskab fremover kan træffe foranstaltninger for at forhindre dem;
Following last year’s request, asks the Supervisor to include an exhaustive table of all the human resources at the Supervisor’s disposal, broken down by category, grade, sex and nationality in the next annual activity report;
er fast overbevist om, at der er den største interesse for at udveksle god praksis for at definere ensartede og bæredygtige kerneprincipper for sikkerhed i overensstemmelse med EU's finansforordninger;
Calls on the Supervisor to cooperate with other institutions to come up with a unified methodology of presenting the translation costs in order to simplify the analysis and comparison of the costs;
tilskynder desuden til alle foranstaltninger, der ikke blot fører til en bedre gensidig forståelse af EU's og Verdensbankens metodologier, men ligeledes styrker den samlede kvalitet og troværdighed af kontrolforvaltningen med hensyn til anvendelsen af trustfonde; mener i denne forbindelse, at Kommissionen vurdering af syv søjler udgør et reelt benchmark, der kan give et tilstrækkeligt sikkerhedsniveau;
Welcomes the signing of a service level agreement with the Commission’s IAS and expects the results of that agreement to be thoroughly stated in the annual activity report;
glæder sig over Verdensbankens beslutning om at bestræbe sig på at ophæve restriktionen, der er baseret på fortrolighed, og samarbejdsaftalen mellem Verdensbanken og Kommissionen, hvor man har udpeget en kontaktperson for hver institution til håndtering af specifikke sager, hvor der stadig findes forhindringer for adgangen til dokumenter, både til brug for Revisionsrettens revision og Kommissionen undersøgelse af restfejlfrekvensen;
Considers, in general, that the Supervisor should pay particular attention to ensuring sound financial management, i.e. to using its appropriations economically, efficiently and effectively in the performance of its duties;
glæder sig over, at Verdensbanken har oprettet en fælles indgangsportal for alle revisioner og kontroller i forbindelse med trustfonde og den igangværende proces med oprettelse af en strømlinet ramme for behandling af spørgsmål vedrørende gennemgang af revisioner af trustfonde; erindrer om, at Parlamentet har den største interesse i øget udveksling af alle relevante oplysninger vedrørende revisioner af EU-finansierede trustfonde;
Calls on the Court of Auditors to include in its next annual report a review of the follow-up by the Supervisor of Parliament’s recommendations in this resolution.
er bekymret over de fortsatte meningsforskelle mellem Kommissionen og sekretariatet for OECD's Komité for Udviklingsbistand om, hvorvidt statslig udviklingsbistand er berettiget til lån fra Den Europæiske Investeringsbank (EIB); tilskynder i lyset af de kommende revisioner af kriterierne for statslig udviklingsbistand i 2015 Kommissionen til at løse disse uoverensstemmelser på en ordentlig måde, eftersom dette er vigtigt med henblik på at sikre solide statistikoplysninger og sammenlignelige benchmarks for finansielle bidrag, der anses for at bidrage til udviklingsmålene;
with observations forming an integral part of its Decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget for the eighth, ninth and tenth European Development Funds for the financial year 2012
tilskynder EIB til at fremme sin dialog med ikkestatslige organisationer (NGO'er), idet man i forbindelse med visse projekter samtidig sikrer en kontrol af den juridiske status for NGO'er, der er tilknyttet gennemførelsen af projekterne;
having regard to the Commission’s report on the follow-up to the discharge for the 2011 financial year (COM(2013) 668) and to the Commission staff working documents accompanying that report (SWD(2013) 348 and SWD(2013) 349),
anmoder Kommissionen om i forbindelse med finansieringen af et NGO-projekt at kontrollere, hvilken del af finansieringen der stammer fra organisationens egen finansiering, og hvilken del af finansieringen der stammer fra offentlig finansiering, enten national eller europæisk; anmoder Kommissionen om hvert år at offentliggøre en rapport om resultaterne;
having regard to the financial statements and revenue and expenditure accounts for the eighth, ninth and 10th European Development Funds for the financial year 2012 (COM(2013) 541 – C7-0283/2013),
Investeringsfaciliteten
having regard to the Commission’s Annual Report of 29 April 2013 on the financial management of the eighth, ninth and 10th European Development Funds (EDFs) in 2012,
minder om, at de midler, der blev bevilget til investeringsfaciliteten fra den 9. og 10.
having regard to the financial information on the European Development Funds (COM(2013) 346),
EUF, beløb sig til i alt 3137 mio. EUR;
having regard to the Court of Auditors’ annual report on the activities funded by the eighth, ninth and 10th European Development Funds concerning the financial year 2012, together with the Commission’s replies [1] and to the Court of Auditors’ special reports,having regard to the statement of assurance [2] as to the reliability of the accounts and the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions provided by the Court of Auditors for the Financial year 2012 pursuant to Article 287 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,having regard to the Council’s recommendations of 18 February 2014 concerning the discharge to be given to the Commission in respect of the implementation of the operations of the European Development Funds for the financial year 2012 (05748/2014 – C7-0050/2014, 05750/2014 – C7-0051/2014, 05753/2014 – C7-0052/2014),
beklager som i tidligere år, at investeringsfaciliteten hverken er omfattet af Revisionsrettens revisionserklæring eller Europa-Parlamentets dechargeprocedure, til trods for at EIB gennemfører projekterne på Den Europæiske Unions vegne og på dennes risiko, og at det er EUF-midler, der anvendes; opfordrer derfor til at bringe trepartsaftalen til ophør i forbindelse med revisionen i oktober 2015 og til at inkludere investeringsfaciliteten i den normale dechargeprocedure;
having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 [3], as revised in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on 22 June 2010 [4],having regard to Council Decision 2001/822/EC of 27 November 2001 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community (‘Overseas Association Decision’) [5],having regard to Article 33 of the Internal Agreement of 20 December 1995, between the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on the financing and administration of the Community aid under the Second Financial Protocol to the fourth ACP-EC Convention [6],having regard to Article 32 of the Internal Agreement of 18 September 2000, between Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on the financing and administration of Community aid under the Financial Protocol to the Partnership Agreement between the African, Caribbean and Pacific States and the European Community and its Member States signed in Cotonou (Benin) on 23 June 2000, and the allocation of financial assistance for the Overseas Countries and Territories to which Part Four of the EC Treaty applies [7],having regard to Article 319 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
anmoder Revisionsretten om at udarbejde en særberetning om EIB's udlånsaktiviteter i tredjelande og overensstemmelse med EU's udviklingspolitikker og -mål før midtvejsrevisionen af EIB's eksterne mandat og midtvejsrevisionen af investeringsfaciliteten og om at sammenligne merværdien i forbindelse med de egne ressourcer, som EIB anvender; opfordrer desuden Revisionsretten til at differentiere sin analyse mellem garantier indrømmet via EU's almindelige budget og af medlemsstaterne, investeringsfaciliteten doneret af EUF og anvendelsen af tilbageførsler til disse investeringer, EIB’s anvendelse af de forskellige kombinationsinstrumenter, der anvendes i infrastrukturtrustfonden EU-Afrika, samt den caribiske investeringsfond;
having regard to Article 74 of the Financial Regulation of 16 June 1998 applicable to development finance cooperation under the fourth ACP-EC Convention [8],having regard to Article 119 of the Financial Regulation of 27 March 2003 applicable to the 9th European Development Fund [9],having regard to Article 142 of Council Regulation (EC) No 215/2008 of 18 February 2008 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the 10th European Development Fund [10],having regard to the Commission’s proposal for a Council regulation on the Financial regulation applicable to the 11th European Development Fund (COM(2013) 660),
glæder sig over den første beretning vedrørende gennemførelsen af EIB's nye resultatmålingsramme, som gør det muligt at foretage et bedre skøn over projektets forventede resultater, og beder om, at hele metodologien offentliggøres, navnlig de indikatorer, der anvendes til justering i forhold til EU's udviklingsmål; opfordrer EIB til regelmæssigt at offentliggøre en rapport over resultatmålingerne (REM) og underrette Parlamentet herom;
having regard to the Commission’s Communications of 13 October 2011 entitled ‘Increasing the impact of EU development cooperation – an Agenda for Change’ and ‘The Future Approach to EU Budget Support to Third Countries’,
tilskynder EIB til at foretage de nødvendige finjusteringer af REM-rammerne ved at indarbejde de første tilbagemeldinger fra alle involverede interessenter, ved regelmæssigt at sikre overensstemmelse med EU's udviklingspolitikker og ved at angive REM-resultatet pr. transaktion i AVS- eller OLT-lande i årsberetningen;
having regard to Rules 76 and 77, third indent of, and Annex VI to, its Rules of Procedure,
mener, at forbedringerne af det interinstitutionelle samarbejde skal fortsættes, navnlig den øgede indsats på programmeringsniveau, som Kommissionen og EEAS udfører;
having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinion of the Committee on Development (A7-0176/2014),
mener, at EIB bør fortsætte med at tilstræbe konvergens ved indberetningen af resultater for de øvrige medfinansierende internationale institutioner sammen med anvendelsen af fælles indikatorer og definitioner;
A. whereas the main goal of the Cotonou agreement, as the framework of the Union’s relations with African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries and overseas countries and territories (OCTs), is to reduce and eventually eradicate poverty, consistent with the objectives of sustainable development and the gradual integration of the ACP countries and OCTs into the world economy,
mener, at det er uomgængeligt at sikre et mere synligt EU ved at indføre EU's værdier på forskellige interventionsområder, såsom fremme af menneskerettigheder og retsstatsprincippet, styrkelse af miljø- og arbejdsmarkedsstandarder og generel støtte til bæredygtig udvikling og en inklusiv økonomisk vækst;
B. whereas the European Development Funds (EDFs) are the Union’s main financial instrument for providing development cooperation to the ACP countries,
støtter i forbindelse med EU's politik udadtil den gradvise udvikling af nye finansielle produkter sammen med Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne; støtter, at investeringsfaciliteten i henhold til additionalitetsprincippet fortsat sikrer disse alternative finansieringsbetingelser, som normalt ikke er til rådighed eller tilgængelige på lokale finansmarkeder, og som kan mobiliseres gennem udvikling af produkter, der både indeholder EU-tilskud, lån og risikodelingsinstrumenter eller brug af garantier; kræver, at der fastlægges bedste praksis og veldefinerede udvælgelseskriterier for anvendelse af disse instrumenter kombineret med strukturerede vilkår for rapportering, overvågning og kontrol;
C. whereas the EDFs are funded by the Member States and whereas the Commission, as the implementing body, is accountable for the discharge of the EDFs,
beder Kommissionen overveje de udviklingsmæssige konsekvenser af investeringsfaciliteten i sin årlige rapport til Parlamentet og Rådet om EU's udviklingspolitik og politikker udadtil samt deres gennemførelse og den årlige aktivitetsrapport;
D. whereas global commitments, individual commitments and payments reached EUR 3745 million, EUR 3817 million and EUR 3292 million respectively for the financial year 2012,
opfordrer Kommissionen til at fremlægge en fuldstændig rapport om virkninger og resultater af anvendelsen af finansielle faciliteter i forbindelse med platformen for samarbejde om kombination og udviklingspolitikker;
E. whereas transparency and accountability are prerequisites for democratic scrutiny, as well as effective development aid,
ser frem til, at investeringsfaciliteten medtages i den næste evalueringsrapport om EU's støtte til udvikling af den private sektor;
F. whereas budget support, while playing a key role in driving change and in addressing the main development challenges, carries a considerable fiduciary risk and should be granted only if the beneficiary state is able to demonstrate a sufficient level of transparency, traceability, accountability and effectiveness prior to receiving budget support assistance,
Opførelse af EUF på budgettet
G. whereas fostering transparency and fighting corruption and fraud are key for the success of the Union’s budget support operations, as highlighted in the above-mentioned Commission Communication entitled ‘The Future Approach to EU Budget Support to Third Countries’,
beklager, at EUF ikke er blevet opført på det almindelige budget i de nye finansielle regler vedrørende Den Europæiske Unions almindelige budget (forordning (EU, Euratom) nr. 966/2012);
H. whereas sustainability is crucial for the effectiveness of development aid,
minder om, at Parlamentet, Rådet og Kommissionen blev enige om, at disse finansielle regler ville blive revideret med henblik på at medtage ændringer, der blev nødvendiggjort af resultatet af forhandlingerne om den flerårige finansielle ramme for 2014-2020, herunder om spørgsmålet om eventuel opførelse af EUF på det almindelige budget; gentager sin opfordring til Rådet og medlemsstaterne om at tilslutte sig den fulde integration af EUF i det almindelige budget;
I. whereas cooperation and coordination with other donors and international financial institutions is of paramount importance to avoid duplication, ensure aid effectiveness and foster the capacity to build development aid in beneficiary countries,
understreger, at opførelse på budgettet vil mindske transaktionsomkostningerne og forenkle rapporteringen og de regnskabsmæssige krav, idet der i så fald kun vil gælde et sæt administrative regler og beslutningsstrukturer i stedet for to;
J. whereas it is fundamental to promote Union visibility and to project Union values in all forms of development aid,
noterer sig Kommissionens tilsagn om at integrere EUF i det almindelige budget, senest når Cotonouaftalen udløber i 2020; fremhæver imidlertid, at Parlamentet mener, at det bør ske så snart som muligt;
K. whereas the use of innovative financial instruments like blending mechanisms is seen as one way of extending the scope of existing tools such as grants and loans,
beklager imidlertid i forbindelse med drøftelserne om den fremtidige interne aftale om den 11.
L. whereas Parliament has reiterated its call for the inclusion of the EDFs in the general budget,
EUF, at Kommissionen ikke har fremsat et forslag til en fælles finansforordning for at strømline forvaltningen af EUF;
Statement of Assurance
er i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af den 11.
Reliability of the accounts
EUF bekymret over, at bemyndigede enheder har mulighed for at give andre organisationer, der er omfattet af privatretten, med en servicekontrakt bemyndigelse til at udføre opgaver i forbindelse med budgetgennemførelsen og dermed skabe en kaskade af bemyndigelsesforhold; erindrer i forbindelse med denne gennemførelsesmetode om, at de bemyndigede enheder skal sikre et effektivt beskyttelsesniveau for Unionens finansielle interesser;
Welcomes the Court of Auditors’ opinion that the final annual accounts of the eighth, ninth and 10th EDFs present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the EDFs as of 31 December 2012, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year, in accordance with the provisions of the EDFs’ financial regulations and the accounting rules adopted by the accounting officer;
Opfølgning af Parlamentets beslutninger
Notes that in the domains of budget support and the Union’s contributions to multidonor projects implemented by international organisations, the nature of the instruments and payments conditions limit the extent to which transactions are prone to errors;
opfordrer Revisionsretten til i sin næste årsberetning at medtage en revision af opfølgningen på Parlamentets henstillinger i dets årlige dechargebeslutning.
Observes that 1153 nongovernmental organisations (57 % of all NGOs) are operating in the field of EuropeAid and 152 (8 %) in the field of humanitarian aid (ECHO), receiving EUR 1520 million and EUR 960 million respectively in Union funding; notes that Union funding of NGOs has doubled in 10 years; calls on the Commission to provide an overview of the 30 largest and 30 smallest projects being implemented by NGOs using EDF funding, and an overview of how much of their own funding the organisations have invested in each of these projects;
EUT C 331 af 14.11.2013, s. 261.
Is concerned by the fact that recovery orders for interest on pre-financing payments of over EUR 750000 are rarely issued, contrary to the applicable rules, according to which they should be issued once a year; notes that interests generated by pre-financing are sometimes netted off against claims or reimbursement of costs incurred, these interests not being recognised as revenue;
EFT L 317 af 15.12.2000, s. 3.
Calls on the Commission to apply the EDFs’ financial regulations’ provisions on interest relating to larger pre-financing payments and to closely examine the situation in the delegations to draw up a clear inventory of contracts with open pre-financings;
EUT L 287 af 4.11.2010, s. 3.
Regrets, once again, that financial transactions were frequently incorrectly recorded in the Common Relex Information System (CRIS), altering the overall quality and accuracy of data used for the preparation of the annual financial statements, especially with the risk of failing to respect the cut-off principle i.e. to record all financial transactions under the correct accounting period;
EFT L 314 af 30.11.2001, s. 1, og EFT L 324 af 7.12.2001, s. 1.
Acknowledges that the Commission is aware of the current shortcomings in its information system but, nevertheless, as in previous years, strongly calls on the Commission to undertake further efforts and to continuously follow this issue at all operational levels, EuropeAid’s Headquarters and Union delegations;
EFT L 156 af 29.5.1998, s. 108.
Regularity of transactions
EFT L 317 af 15.12.2000, s. 355.
Notes with satisfaction that according to the Court of Auditors, the revenue and commitments underlying the accounts are legal and regular in all material aspects;
EFT L 191 af 7.7.1998, s. 53.
Is concerned, however, by the Court of Auditors’ assessment relating to the legality and regularity of payments underlying the accounts, according to which the supervisory and control systems at EuropeAid’s Headquarters and Union delegations are partially effective for ensuring the legality and regularity of payments;
EUT L 83 af 1.4.2003, s. 1.
Regrets that payments were materially affected by error due to the weaknesses identified in the supervision and control mechanisms; notes that out of 167 interim and final expenditure transactions reviewed by the Court of Auditors, 44 (i.e. 26 %) were affected by errors;
EUT L 78 af 19.3.2008, s. 1.
Recalls that the Court of Auditors’ estimate for the most likely error rate for payments from the eighth, ninth and 10th EDFs is 3 %, which indicates a reduction compared to 2011 (5,1 %) and 2010 (3,4 %);
Kommissionens delegerede forordning (EU) nr. 1268/2012 af 29. oktober 2012 om gennemførelsesbestemmelser til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU, Euratom) nr. 966/2012 om de finansielle regler vedrørende Unionens almindelige budget (EUT L 362 af 31.12.2012, s. 1).
Notes that out of 127 expenditure transactions sampled, 28 were affected by quantifiable error, of which 20 were final payments already subject to the Commission’s checks; notes that this represents an increase compared to 2011, where the equivalent numbers were 29 and 11 operations respectively;
Arbejdsdokument fra Kommissionens tjenestegrene: SWD(2013) 307 final, vedføjet årsrapporten for 2013 om gennemførelsen af Den Europæiske Unions politikker for udvikling og ekstern bistand i 2012 (s. 72) og arbejdsdokument fra Kommissionens tjenestegrene: SWD(2012) 242 final, vedføjet årsrapporten for 2012 om gennemførelsen af Den Europæiske Unions politikker for udvikling og ekstern bistand i 2011 (s. 67).
Notes that for budget support transactions reviewed by the Court of Auditors, the quantifiable errors were the incorrect application of the scoring method for defining whether or not partner countries had met the conditions for performance-related payments and the failure to assess compliance with specific conditions for payments;
Arbejdsdokument fra Kommissionens tjenestegrene: SWD(2013) 307 final vedføjet årsrapporten for 2013 om gennemførelsen af Den Europæiske Unions politikker for udvikling og ekstern bistand i 2012 (s. 120).
Effectiveness of systems
Idem, s. 97.
Expresses satisfaction that the Commission ensured at least partial implementation of all recommendations of the Court of Auditors annual reports for 2009 and 2010 on the EDFs implementation and calls upon the Commission to further ensure follow-up and implementation of recommendations entailed in the Court of Auditors’ reports for 2011 and 2012;
med bemærkningerne, der er en integrerende del af afgørelsen om decharge for gennemførelsen af budgettet for Agenturet for Samarbejde mellem Energireguleringsmyndigheder for regnskabsåret 2012
Acknowledges that the implementation of the EDFs used numerous delivery methods with complex rules and procedures, covering 79 countries, which represents a high degree of inherent risk, according to the Court of Auditors’ evaluation;
der henviser til det endelige årsregnskab for Agenturet for Samarbejde mellem Energireguleringsmyndigheder for regnskabsåret 2012,
Is deeply concerned by the Court of Auditors’ finding that the supervisory and control systems are only partially effective;
der henviser til Revisionsrettens beretning om årsregnskabet for Agenturet for Samarbejde mellem Energireguleringsmyndigheder for regnskabsåret 2012 med agenturets svar [1],der henviser til Rådets henstilling af 18. februar 2014 (05849/2014 — C7-0054/2014),
Notes with regret, as in the past, that EuropeAid’s ex ante checks, carried out before the project payments were done, still remain vulnerable, according to the Court of Auditors’ assessment; is worried by the fact that errors have been found, despite external audits and expenditure verifications;
der henviser til artikel 319 i traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde,
Calls on the Commission to review the contracts with external auditors whose audit reports provided to EuropeAid or to Union delegations have proven not to conform to professional auditing requirements or provisions of contracts;
