påpeger, at Kommissionen var nødt til at opjustere de fejlprocenter, som 42 ud af 68 betalingsorganer med en restfejlprocent på over 2 % havde oplyst, til trods for at næsten alle betalingsorganerne for de direkte betalinger var akkrediteret og godkendt af godkendelsesmyndighederne, og til trods for at 79 ud af de 82 forvaltningserklæringer, som betalingsorganerne afleverede, modtog en blank revisionspåtegning fra godkendelsesorganerne i 2013, hvilket bekræftede rigtigheden af de forvaltningserklæringer, som betalingsorganernes direktører fremlagde;
Welcomes the overview of the Court of Auditors' audit results of funds managed under shared management in agriculture and cohesion 2009-2013, published together with the Court of Auditors' 2013 annual report which partially address Parliament's request expressed in the 2012 discharge resolution for country-specific information in shared management;
gør opmærksom på, at de fem betalingsorganer med den højeste fejlprocent var:
Points out that according to the figures provided by the Court of Auditors as regards the amounts and percentage of funds at risk as to the European Regional Development Funds, the European Social Funds and the Cohesion Funds (source data included in the 2013 annual activity reports of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion and DG Regional and Urban policy), Slovakia, the United Kingdom and Spain have the highest error rates;
Det Forenede Kongerige, RPA
Points out that according to the figures provided by the Court of Auditors as regards the amounts and percentage of funds at risk as to the European Agricultural Guarantee Funds and the European Agricultural Funds for Regional Development (source data included in the 2013 annual activity report of DG Agricultural and Rural Development), Romania, Bulgaria an Portugal have the highest error rates;
5,66 % (medlemsstatens indberetning: 0,67 %)
Asks the Court of Auditors to develop its own country-specific reporting method, bearing in mind not only the amounts at risk but also the Member States' management and control systems, together with the corrective mechanisms applied by the Commission and the Member States in order to adequately assess the evolution of the management in the worst performing Member States and recommend the best possible solutions;
Grækenland, OKEPE
Recalls that corruption seriously damages Union funds; is concerned about the data showing that some Member States are particularly affected by the phenomenon and recalls, in this respect, the Commission's Recommendation of 29 May 2013 for a Council recommendation on Italy 2013 national reform programme and delivering a Council opinion on Italy's stability programme for 2012-2017 [14]; calls for the early adoption of the Directive on the fight against fraud to the Union's financial interests by means of criminal law;
5,17 % (medlemsstatens indberetning: 0,83 %)
Conflicts of interests
Spanien, AVGA
Regrets the fact that in some Member States, legislation concerning conflicts of interests of members of the parliament, members of government and members of local councils is vague and insufficient; calls on the Commission to carefully examine the current situation and present recommendations or even legally binding solutions if necessary; considers that the same should apply to the candidate members and members of the Commission;
4,71 % (medlemsstatens indberetning: 1,93 %)
Revenue: GNI Based own resources
4,37 % (medlemsstatens indberetning: 0,82 %)
Notes that the Court of Auditors' audit (see Annual Report for 2013, point 2.27) did not find any substantial error in the Commission's calculation of Member States' contributions and their payment, most of which are based on forecast Gross National Income (GNI) data for 2013;
Rumænien, PIAA
Demands that the Commission to ensure that Eurostat's and Member States' data are identical, as the indicator of GNI represents the key benchmark not only for Union revenue but also for expenditure;
4,27 % (medlemsstatens indberetning: 1,77 %)
Recalls the criticism formulated by the Court of Auditors in its Annual Report for 2012 as regards the lack of effectiveness of the Commission's verification of GNI data (see Annual Report for 2012, point 2.41); stresses that the prolonged use of general reservations and the excessive duration of the verification cycle of GNI data used for own resources can lead to budgetary uncertainty, as has been highlighted by the discussions between the Member States about the draft amending budget No 6 to the general budget 2014 [15];
beklager, at den nuværende retlige ramme ikke fastsætter sanktioner for ukorrekt eller svigagtig indberetning [25] fra betalingsorganernes side;
Regrets the fact that certain Member States did not anticipate that it will result in an increase of their budgetary contribution, despite the fact that they were aware of the changes in the statistical methodology to calculate the GNI contribution since spring 2014;
opfordrer EU-tjenestemændene til at øge tilsynet og overvåge og koordinere tættere med de nationale betalingsorganer i de respektive medlemsstater med henblik på at rette op på de mangler, som de oplever, navnlig for så vidt angår de betalingsorganer, der konstant har præsteret utilfredsstillende resultater i de sidste tre år, for at gøre forvaltningen af betalinger mere effektiv;
Regrets the fact that the Commission, insisted on handling this file as a purely technical one [16], despite the fact that it was aware since spring 2013 that the changes in the statistical methodology to calculate the GNI contribution would create a big increase in the contributions of certain Member States;
Det integrerede forvaltnings- og kontrolsystem (IFKS) og markidentifikationssystemet (LPIS)
Recalls that the Court of Auditors concluded in its opinion No 7/2014 [17] that the Commission's proposal to allow the deferred payments of value added tax (VAT) and GNI balances and adjustments in case of exceptional circumstances may increase the complexity of the system of own resources and the Member States budgetary uncertainty;
er enig i det synspunkt, som Kommissionen og Revisionsretten har givet udtryk for, at det integrerede forvaltnings- og kontrolsystem (IFKS) samlet set spiller en central rolle med hensyn til at forhindre og reducere fejlene i landbrugernes anmeldelser, og påpeger, at dets korrekte funktion burde have sikret, at de direkte betalinger på landbrugsområdet var uden væsentlig fejlforekomst:
Points out in particular that the Commission proposal amending Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 implementing Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom on the system of the European Communities' own resources (COM(2014) 704) refers only to the postponement of the deadline for the Member States to make resources available in case of significant amounts result from positive VAT and GNI balances and adjustments and notes that if Member States have a large negative VAT and GNI balances and adjustments, the Commission could be obliged to collect additional revenue by means of an amending budget;
beklager dybt, at vedvarende svagheder med hensyn til at få udelukket ikke-støtteberettigede arealer fra markidentifikationssystemet og i den administrative behandling af anmeldelser bidrager væsentligt til de fejl, der stadig er i EGFL-betalingerne;
Regrets that the Council has not been able to make any progress so far on the reform of the own resources system on the basis of those legislative proposals, despite the fact that the Commission proposed a global reform of the own resources system which was welcomed by Parliament [18] aiming at making the system of own resources fairer, more understandable, more transparent, more efficient and aiming at reducing the national contributions;
fremhæver endnu en gang den horisontale dimension af de mangler, der er fundet i markidentifikationssystemet; bemærker, at Revisionsretten siden 2007 har undersøgt IFKS i 38 betalingsorganer i alle 28 medlemsstater, og beklager dybt, at kun syv af kontrolsystemerne blev vurderet som effektive, 22 blev anset for at være delvist effektive, og ni kontrolsystemer blev anset for at være ineffektive; opfordrer Kommissionen til at sikre, at de finansielle risici for budgettet er dækket af finansielle nettokorrektioner;
Measures to be taken
Procedurer, som skal sikre inddrivelse af uretmæssigt udbetalte beløb
Urges the Commission to:
er bekymret over det forhold, som Revisionsretten [26] har rapporteret, at beløb, der var tabt på grund af uregelmæssigheder eller forsømmelser, som vedrører ansøgninger fra 2008 eller tidligere, først var blevet meddelt debitorerne i Irland med stor forsinkelse, og at der ikke var gennemført inddrivelses- eller fuldbyrdelsesprocedurer i flere år;
shorten the duration of its verification cycle of the GNI data used for own resources to a maximum four years, if needed, in launching infringement proceedings and/or in imposing strict delay to lift the reservations;
anfører, at Unionen frem til udgangen af 2012 afholdt 2,3 mio. EUR ud af de 6,7 mio. EUR i udestående fordringer, der vedrører disse ansøgningsår i henhold til 50/50-reglen på trods af den forsinkelse, Revisionsretten har konstateret i underretningsproceduren, og frygter, at midlerne er definitivt tabt for Unionens budget;
limit the use of general reservations to exceptional cases where there are significant risks that the financial interests of the Union are not protected: i.e. when a Member State carries out a major revision during the verification cycle or at irregular intervals;
er ligeledes bekymret over Revisionsrettens konklusioner om, at de italienske myndigheder ikke registrerede, om udestående fordringer skyldtes uregelmæssigheder eller administrative fejl, hvilket potentielt vil kunne føre til, at der afholdes uretmæssige udgifter over Unionens budget; anmoder Kommissionen om at foretage en detaljeret analyse af denne situation og rapportere tilbage inden årets udgang;
draft an action plan to remedy the deficiencies detected by the Court of Auditors in its Special Report No 11/2013 and to report on it to Parliament and the Court of Auditors by the end of June 2015;
bemærker, at de medlemsstater, der har præsteret dårligst med hensyn til inddrivelse af uretmæssigt udbetalte beløb ifølge de data, der fremlægges i GD AGRI's årlige aktivitetsrapport for 2013 [27], er Bulgarien med en inddrivelsesrate på 4 %, 21 % i Grækenland, 25 % i Frankrig, 25 % i Slovenien, 27 % i Slovakiet og 33 % i Ungarn; er bekymret over de lave inddrivelsesniveauer på visse områder og anmoder om en rapport fra Kommissionen om årsagerne dertil og mulighederne for at opnå forbedringer;
put in place and closely monitor a detailed action plan with clear targets to address the problems in the compilation of Greece's national accounts;
Regnskabsafslutningsproceduren
introduce a modification to the abovementioned Commission proposal COM(2014) 704 in order to empower the Commission to defer the reimbursement of the amounts in case of ‘negative’ balances and adjustments;
bemærker, at Kommissionen traf fire overensstemmelsesafgørelser i 2013, som førte til korrektioner på 1116,8 mio. EUR (861,9 mio. EUR vedrørende EGFL og 236,2 mio. EUR vedrørende Den Europæiske Landbrugsfond for Udvikling af Landdistrikterne (ELFUL)), hvilket svarer til omkring 2 % af Unionens budget for 2013 til landbrug og udvikling af landdistrikterne (1,4 % i perioden 2008-2012);
Points out the weaknesses found by the Court of Auditors in its Special Report No 2/2014 entitled ‘Are Preferential Trade Arrangements appropriately managed?’ in the control strategy and risk management in Germany, France and the United Kingdom leading to potential losses to the Union budget; notes that these weaknesses were confirmed by the amount of revenue potentially lost in these three Member States; observes that by extrapolating the errors found in its sample of 2009, the Court of Auditors has estimated the amount of duties at stake in these Member States because of time-barring to be EUR 655 million; notes that this represents around 6 % of the gross amount of import duties collected in the five selected Member States that year, made up of EUR 167 million in respect of Germany, EUR 176 million in respect of France and EUR 312 million in respect of the United Kingdom;
påpeger, at dette beløb ikke kan sammenlignes med den mest sandsynlige fejlprocent, som Revisionsretten fastsætter, eftersom Kommissionens overensstemmelsesrevisioner er systembaserede, ikke kontrollerer de underliggende transaktioners formelle rigtighed, omfatter udgifter, der vedrører flere regnskabsår, samt fører til finansielle korrektioner, der for 65 procents vedkommende er faste korrektioner, og dermed ikke gør det muligt at beregne en årlig fejlprocent [28];
Agriculture
understreger, at stigningen i 2013 i det gennemsnitlige niveau af finansielle korrektioner i sammenligning med perioden 2008-2012 ifølge Revisionsretten [29] hovedsagelig kan forklares med reduktionen af puklen af uafsluttede revisionssager fra 553 ved udgangen af 2012 til 516 ved udgangen af 2013, og at afslutningen af disse sager, som vedrørte regnskabsårene før 2010, medførte finansielle korrektioner på 881 mio. EUR (79 % af totalen);
Agriculture: demographic and beneficiaries' structure challenges
er bekymret over, at uafhængigheden af det forligsorgan, som kan inddrages i den efterprøvende regnskabsafslutning, ikke er sikret af de bestemmelser, der gælder for øjeblikket [30];
Points out that demographic changes affect the common agricultural policy (CAP) more than any other Union policy since nearly one-third of the 12 million Union farmers sharing more than 45 % of the Union budget are over the age of 65 years and only 6 % are younger than 35 years old [19]; welcomes the young-farmer assistance programmes therefore launched as part of the CAP reform;
Udvikling af landdistrikterne, miljø, fiskeri og sundhed
Regrets that the measures initiated by the Commission in agricultural policy have so far been unable to correct the demographic imbalance and calls on the Commission to re-examine the agricultural budget support in light of this;
bemærker, at betalingerne inden for udvikling af landdistrikterne, miljø, fiskeri og sundhed ikke var uden væsentlig fejlforekomst i 2013, med en reduktion af den mest sandsynlige fejlprocent til 6,7 % mod 7,9 % i 2012, og at syv ud af de 13 undersøgte overvågnings- og kontrolsystemer vedrørende de udgiftsførte betalinger blev vurderet til at være delvis effektive og seks ineffektive;
Stresses that the fact that less than 2 % of Union farmers receive 31 % of the CAP direct payments; points out that CAP should be especially targeting small farmers and believes that the current practice further undermines the political acceptance of CAP;
er enig i den holdning, Revisionsretten giver udtryk for, at den mest sandsynlige fejlprocent ville have været reduceret til 2 %, hvis de nationale myndigheder havde benyttet alle de oplysninger, de havde til rådighed, til at forhindre, opdage og korrigere fejl; understreger, at medlemsstaterne har et stort ansvar med hensyn til at sikre en korrekt og lovlig gennemførelse af Unionens budget, når de er ansvarlige for forvaltningen af Unionens midler;
Reiterates that in order to make the CAP fairer, Parliament and the Council introduced [20] a reduction of payments above EUR 150000 and a possible capping of direct payments; demands therefore that the Court of Auditors audit the efficiency and effectiveness of this measure in anticipation of its next annual reports;
beklager dybt, at den mest sandsynlige fejlprocent, beregnet af Revisionsretten for udvikling af landdistrikterne, som man har haft i de sidste tre år, var 8,2 %, og at den i 2013 var 7,9 % [31]; udtrykker sin stærke beklagelse over, at dette er den højeste fejlprocent inden for et politikområde i 2013;
Points out that the Czech Republic, followed by Slovakia, Hungary, Germany and Bulgaria, maintain the most unequal agricultural systems [21]; calls on the Commission and the Member States to better balance their beneficiaries' structure and demands that the Director-General of DG AGRI attach yearly to its annual activity report indicative figures on the distribution of CAP direct aid payment to producers by Member States and category of beneficiaries;
bemærker, at de fejl, Revisionsretten har fundet, hovedsagelig opstod, fordi støttemodtagerne ikke overholdt støtteberettigelseskravene, reglerne for offentlige indkøb ikke blev anvendt korrekt, og landbrugets miljøforpligtelser ikke blev overholdt;
Agriculture: error rate in first pillar
er bekymret over, at Revisionsretten har konstateret, at private støttemodtageres formodet bevidste overtrædelser bidrog til en ottendedel af fejlprocenten inden for udvikling af landdistrikterne, og beklager dybt, at den særlige foranstaltning til udvikling af landdistrikterne »forøgelse af værdien af landbrugs- og skovbrugsprodukter« tegnede sig for det væsentligste bidrag til fejlprocenten for private investeringer [32], hvilket førte til, at Revisionsretten gav udtryk for alvorlig bekymring vedrørende foranstaltningens effektivitet med hensyn til at nå sine politikmål;
Regrets that the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) payments are not free from material error in 2013, the most likely error rate being estimated by the Court of Auditors at 3,6 % (3,8 % in 2012) [22] and that of the five control systems examined for expensed payments two were found to be ineffective, two partially effective and only one was considered as effective;
er enig i det synspunkt, Revisionsretten har fremsat [33], at fejlene til dels skyldtes reglernes kompleksitet og mangfoldigheden af støtteordninger under 2007-2013-programmerne: 46 foranstaltninger i alt til udvikling af landdistrikterne, hver med sine egne regler og krav;
Stresses that in 33 out of 101 quantifiable errors identified by the Court of Auditors, national authorities had sufficient information to prevent, detect, and correct those errors at least partially and that if all this information had been used properly, the most likely error rate for this area would have been 1,1 % lower and thus relatively close to the materiality threshold of 2 %; stresses that Member States have an important responsibility to implement correctly and lawfully the Union budget when they are responsible for the management of Union funds;
anerkender det stigende omfang af suspensioner og afbrydelser af betalinger fra Kommissionens side, som sikrer, at der systematisk gennemføres korrigerende foranstaltninger i de tilfælde, hvor der er konstateret mangler;
Cross-compliance
bifalder Kommissionens ændrede tilgang til beregning af restfejlprocenten, som tager alle relevante revisioner og oplysninger i betragtning med henblik på at justere den fejlprocent, som medlemsstaterne har indberettet;
Points out that the audit by the Court of Auditors covered cross-compliance requirements and that cases where cross-compliance obligations were not met were treated as error where it was established that the infringement existed in the year in which the farmer applied for aid; points out that the Court of Auditors includes deficiencies in the area of the cross-compliance in their calculation of the error rate while noting that, in the view of the Commission, cross-compliance does not concern the eligibility to payments but only triggers administrative penalties;
beklager dybt, at de data, medlemsstaterne fremsender vedrørende resultaterne af deres kontroller, ikke er pålidelige; bemærker, at godkendelsesmyndighederne kun afgav en erklæring med forbehold, hvori der var angivet en fejlprocent på over 2 %, til ni ud af 74 betalingsorganer [34], hvorimod Kommissionen afgav en erklæring med forbehold til 31 betalingsorganer i 24 medlemsstater [35];
Notes that the Commission states in its reply to the Court of Auditors that for the 2014-2020 programming period, the legal framework has been simplified and requests that the Commission report by the end of 2015 on how these simplification measures worked out in practice and which additional measures could be taken with regard to any remaining complex rules and eligibility conditions;
beklager den manglende kvalitet af nogle medlemsstaters afhjælpende foranstaltninger og fraværet af en systematisk tilgang til at udrydde årsagerne til fejl i alle medlemsstaterne; understreger, at der mangler en forebyggende indsats mod udbredte svagheder på EU-plan;
Error rates in market measures
erkender, at hovedfaktorerne bag underudnyttelsen af bevillingerne på 4300000 EUR i kapitel 17 04 Fødevare- og fodersikkerhed, dyresundhed, dyrevelfærd og plantesundhed er de 900000 EUR, som vedrører formålsbestemte indtægter for forskellige programmer, der kan anvendes i 2014, og 2000000 EUR, som vedrører beredskabsfonden; bemærker, at der fra sidstnævnte beløb blev fremført 50 % eller 1000000 EUR til 2014, som blev gennemført i det pågældende år (til behandling af bluetonguesygdommen i Tyskland);
Is worried about the fact that the error rate with regards to agricultural market measures stands at 7,44 %, as calculated by the Commission; deplores the fact that it is the second highest error rate in a policy area for 2013;
Anmodninger til Kommissionen, medlemsstaterne og Revisionsretten vedrørende landbrug og udvikling af landdistrikterne
Stresses that the reservations introduced by the Director-General of DG AGRI into its 2013 annual activity report confirm the alarming state of play in market measures as seven aid schemes in nine Member States are identified, in particular the sectors of fruit and vegetables, the restructuring of vineyards, wine investment, export refunds for poultry and the school milk scheme;
anmoder Revisionsretten om at beregne separate fejlprocenter for markedsforanstaltninger og direkte betalinger under den fælles landbrugspolitiks første søjle;
Draws attention to the fact that many smaller programmes such as the School Fruit and School Milk Schemes are not user-friendly, partially because of the associated bureaucracy and for this reason, their uptake and implementation are sub-optimal;
henstiller, at Kommissionen aktivt overvåger gennemførelsen af afhjælpende foranstaltninger vedrørende manglerne i det kontrolsystem, der gælder for EU-støtte til anerkendelse af producentsammenslutninger for frugt og grønt i Polen, og i de operationelle programmer for producentorganisationer i Østrig, Nederlandene og Det Forenede Kongerige;
Deplores the significant shortcomings in the control procedures applied when granting recognition to producer groups [23] for fruit and vegetables in Poland, Austria, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, as revealed by the Court of Auditors in its Annual Report for 2013 and confirmed by the Director-General of DG AGRI, who has issued in its 2013 annual activity report a reservation based on its estimate that around 25 % of total expenditure under this measure is at risk, namely EUR 102,7 million;
opfordrer indtrængende Kommissionen til at anskueliggøre EU-merværdien af landbrugsmarkedsforanstaltningerne i betragtning af risikoen for potentielle tab, der kan ramme Unionens budget, og anmoder Kommissionen om at overveje at afskaffe dem, hvis denne risiko er for høj; anmoder Kommissionen om i sin beretning om opfølgningen på decharge til Kommissionen for 2013 at rapportere om de foranstaltninger, som Det Europæiske Kontor for Bekæmpelse af Svig (OLAF) har truffet i lyset af revisionsbesøget vedrørende eksportrestitutioner for fjerkræ i Frankrig;
Regrets in particular the deficiencies detected by the Commission as regard the measures concerning ‘vineyard restructuring’ in Spain that justified the reservation issued by the Director-General of DG AGRI on the basis of a corrected error rate of 33 % and an amount at risk of EUR 54 million and the measure ‘Poultry export in France’ on the basis of a corrected error rate of 69,6 % and an amount at risk of EUR 29,3 million;
