Takes note that the Commission Directors-General made a total of 17 quantified reservations relating to the expenditure; points out that the lower number of quantified reservations in 2013 (21 in 2012) did not have the effect of reducing the scope of the amount at risk and that the maximum total amount at risk announced by the Commission in its synthesis report [7] is below EUR 4179 million which corresponds to 2,8 % of all expenditure disbursed;
juhib tähelepanu eelkõige sellele, et komisjoni ettepanek võtta vastu nõukogu määrus, millega muudetakse määrust (EÜ, Euratom) nr 1150/2000, millega rakendatakse ühenduste omavahendite süsteemi käsitlev otsus 2007/436/EÜ, Euratom (COM(2014) 704), puudutab ainult selle tähtaja edasilükkamist, milleks liikmesriigid peavad tegema kättesaadavaks vahendid, kui käibemaksupõhiste omavahendite ja kogurahvatulul põhinevate omavahendite positiivsete saldode ja korrigeerimiste tulemusel tekivad suured summad, ning märgib, et juhuks, kui liikmesriikidel on suured negatiivsed käibemaksupõhiste omavahendite ja kogurahvatulul põhinevate omavahendite saldod ja korrigeerimised, võiks komisjoni kohustada koguma paranduseelarve abil lisatulu;
Asks the Commission to further clarify the calculation of the amount at risk [8] in explaining the estimated impact of corrective mechanisms on this figure and to issue in its synthesis report a proper ‘Statement of assurance’ based on the Directors-General annual activity reports;
peab kahetsusväärseks, et nõukogu ei ole suutnud siiani teha nimetatud õigusakti ettepanekute alusel mingeid edusamme omavahendite süsteemi reformimiseks, kuigi komisjon on esitanud parlamendi poolt heaks kiidetud [18] ettepaneku omavahendite süsteemi üleüldiseks reformimiseks, et muuta kõnealune süsteem õiglasemaks, mõistetavamaks, läbipaistvamaks ja tõhusamaks ning püüda vähendada riikide osamakse;
Recalls that the cumulative figures used by the Commission concern corrective mechanisms applied by the Commission and the Member States (financial corrections and recoveries) several years after the disbursement of the funds (in particular during the periods1994-1999 and 2000-2006) and notes that in this time neither the Court of Auditors nor the Commission issued precise error rates;
Meetmed, mis tuleb võtta
Pressure on the budget
nõuab tungivalt, et komisjon
Is concerned by the fact that due to the unacceptable position of the Council during the negotiations of the annual Union budget and despite the high level of payments, the accounts show that outstanding financial commitments (in Heading 1b, mainly regional policy, the level of outstanding commitments at the end of 2013 is estimated at EUR 23,4 billion after EUR 5 billion at the end of 2010, EUR 11 billion at the end of 2011 and EUR 16 billion at the end of 2012) and other liabilities continued to grow in 2013; notes that at the year end, they stood at EUR 322 billion [9] and the figure is likely to rise in 2014;
lühendaks omavahendite arvestamiseks kasutatavate kogurahvatulu andmete kontrollitsüklit, et see kestaks kõige rohkem neli aastat, ja algataks selleks vajaduse korral rikkumismenetluse ja/või kehtestaks reservatsioonide tühistamiseks range tähtaja;
Points out that at the end of 2013, outstanding commitments were estimated at EUR 322 billion and that this amount was forecast to increase in 2014; considers this to be at odds with the principle of sound financial management, as established in Article 310 of the TFEU, thus placing a question mark over the legality of the budget;
piirduks üldreservatsioonide kasutamisel ainult erandjuhtudega, st kui eksisteerib suur oht, et liidu finantshuvid ei ole kaitstud, s.o kui liikmesriik korraldab kontrollitsükli ajal või ebakorrapäraste ajavahemike järel ulatusliku läbivaatamise;
Stresses that these ‘overhanging’ financial obligations are a matter of particular concern because for the first time, payment ceilings are set to remain broadly stable in real terms for a number of years [10];
koostaks tegevuskava, mille alusel kõrvaldada kontrollikoja eriaruandes nr 11/2013 kirjeldatud puudused, ja annaks selle kohta Euroopa Parlamendile ja kontrollikojale aru hiljemalt 2015. aasta juuni lõpuks;
Points out that in times of economic crisis, financial resources are scarce; notes, however, that for large parts of the budget, the maximum level of expenditure under the MFF headings is broken into yearly allocations per Member State; observes that the way funds are absorbed by Member States often becomes the main policy objective (‘use it or lose it’) [11]; calls on the Commission and Member States to therefore promote a shift from spending to a performance culture focussing on the results achieved based on the principles of efficiency, effectiveness and economy;
võtaks vastu selgeid eesmärke sisaldava üksikasjaliku tegevuskava ja teeks selle täitmise üle põhjalikku järelevalvet, et lahendada probleemid Kreeka rahvamajanduse arvepidamises;
Points out that gross pre-financing amounted to EUR 79,4 billion at the end of 2013 and insists that extended periods of pre-financing can lead to an increased risk of error or loss; stresses that this risk is particularly present for Heading 4 of the budget (EU as a global player) where for a typical operation, four years elapse between a commitment being made and the Commission recording the final related expenditure;
teeks komisjoni ülalnimetatud ettepanekusse (COM(2014) 704) muudatuse, millega anda komisjonile õigus lükata summade hüvitamine edasi, kui saldod ja korrigeerimised on negatiivsed;
Urges the Commission to once again prepare and publish a ‘long-range cash flow forecast’ projecting future payment requirements to ensure that necessary payments can be met from approved annual budgets; demands that the Commission present, if necessary, modifications to existing regulations in the event that the annual budgets cannot provide sufficient appropriations to match the necessary payments level;
juhib tähelepanu kontrollikoja poolt eriaruandes nr 2/2014 („Kas kaubanduse sooduskorda hallatakse asjakohaselt?”) osutatud vajakajäämistele Saksamaa, Prantsusmaa ja Ühendkuningriigi kontrollistrateegias ja riskijuhtimises, mis võivad põhjustada liidu eelarve jaoks potentsiaalseid kaotusi; märgib, et neid puudusi kinnitas ka nendes kolmes liikmesriigis potentsiaalselt kaotatud tulu summa; täheldab, et 2009. aasta valimi vigade ekstrapoleerimise alusel hindas kontrollikoda nendes liikmesriikides aegumise tõttu kaalul oleva summa suuruseks 655 miljonit eurot; märgib, et see moodustab ligikaudu 6 % tollimaksude kogusummast, mis koguti sellel aastal viies valitud liikmesriigis, ning see hõlmab 167 miljonit eurot Saksamaal, 176 miljonit eurot Prantsusmaal ja 312 miljonit eurot Ühendkuningriigis;
Reiterates the need to work on finding long term solutions that can allow the Commission to regain control of its budget; notes that there is a particular need for an increased emphasis on accountability and a focus on performance and spending outcomes; highlights, to this end, the need for Parliament to play a greater role in scrutinising expenditure and performance;
Põllumajandus
Financial instruments
Põllumajandus: demograafilised ja toetusesaajate struktuuriga seotud probleemid
Observes that by the end of 2013, 941 financial engineering instruments (FEI) had been set up under 176 European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) and European Social Funds (ESF) Operational Programmes (OP) in 25 Member States; is particularly concerned that only 47 % of the EUR 14,3 billion (EUR 6,7 billion) that had been paid to the FEIs had actually been paid out to final beneficiaries, although this figure represents an increase compared with the EUR 4,7 billion paid out by the end of 2012; observes that the average disbursement rate of 47 % at the end of 2013 masks a certain variation between funds and Member States; notes that the average disbursement covers all 900 funds: those established in 2008 as well those newly established in 2013 for which implementation was only starting; considers that while some funds are underperforming, there are others which have already achieved 100 % absorption and are now re-investing revolving funds;
juhib tähelepanu sellele, et demograafilised muutused mõjutavad ühist põllumajanduspoliitikat rohkem kui ühtki teist liidu poliitikavaldkonda, sest peaaegu üks kolmandik 12 miljonist liidu põllumajandustootjast, kes jagavad rohkem kui 45 % liidu eelarvest, on üle 65-aastased ja vaid 6 % on alla 35-aastased; [19] peab kiiduväärseks noorte põllumajandustootjate toetusprogramme, mis algatati ÜPP reformi raames;
Observes that 14 FEIs have been set up in the Members States under the rural development fund; observes that EUR 443,77 million has been paid out to banks in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Lithuania from the Union budget until the end of 2013; expresses concern that of this amount, not a single euro reached the final beneficiaries; observes that for six financial FEIs set up under the European Fisheries Fund, EUR 72,37 million was paid out to banks in Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia and the Netherlands; notes that only in Latvia were the available amounts fully disbursed to the final beneficiaries while in Romania only 28 % of the funds were disbursed to the final beneficiary, 77 % in Bulgaria, 91 % in Estonia and none in the Netherlands and Greece [12];
peab kahetsusväärseks, et meetmetega, mille komisjon on põllumajanduspoliitikas algatanud, ei ole seni suudetud demograafilist tasakaalustamatust korrigeerida, ja palub komisjonil põllumajandussektori eelarvetoetuse seda arvesse võttes uuesti läbi vaadata;
Regrets furthermore that these instruments are complex and difficult to account for correctly, which also makes public scrutiny more challenging; calls on the Commission to be more transparent and to regularly report on leverage, losses and risks such as investment bubbles; urges the Commission to give a full overview of the number of projects financed under each of the financial engineering instruments and the results achieved, to indicate clearly how much Union budget allocations were used to co-finance these FEI projects and to present a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of the instrument of FEIs compared with more direct forms of project funding;
rõhutab, et 31 % ühise põllumajanduspoliitika otsetoetustest saavad vähem kui 2 % liidu põllumajandustootjatest; juhib tähelepanu asjaolule, et ÜPP peaks orienteeruma esmajoones väiketootjatele, ning on veendunud, et praegused tavad õõnestavad veelgi ÜPP poliitilist toetust;
Welcomes the fact that during the Annual Review meetings, the implementation of the financial instruments is systematically included in the agenda and that shortcomings are then analysed and remedial actions proposed; acknowledges with satisfaction that for the next period 2014-2020, shortcomings in the area have been corrected, i.e. payments will only be transferred to the funds managing financial instruments when the actual disbursement to the final recipients has reached a certain percentage;
kordab, et ÜPP õiglasemaks muutmiseks vähendasid [20] parlament ja nõukogu üle 150000 euro suurusi makseid ja võimaldasid kehtestada otsetoetustele piirmäära; nõuab seega, et kontrollikoda kontrolliks enne järgmiste aastaaruannete esitamist selle meetme tulemuslikkust ja tõhusust;
Recommends, in light of the pressure on the budget for payments and the fact that Article 140(7) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 (the Financial Regulation) requires that excessive balances should be avoided on financial instruments, that the Commission ensures that contributions from the Union budget to such instruments reflect a real cash-flow need;
juhib tähelepanu sellele, et kõige ebavõrdsemad põllumajandussüsteemid on Tšehhi Vabariigis, kellele järgnevad Slovakkia, Ungari, Saksamaa ja Bulgaaria; [21] kutsub komisjoni ja liikmesriike üles toetusesaajate struktuuri paremini tasakaalustama ja nõuab, et põllumajanduse ja maaelu arengu peadirektoraadi peadirektor lisaks oma iga-aastasele tegevusaruandele igal aastal esialgsed andmed ühise põllumajanduspoliitika raames tootjatele makstud otsetoetuste kohta liikmesriikide ja toetusesaajate kategooriate kaupa;
Is particularly concerned by some of the Court of Auditors' findings as regards the effectiveness of blending regional investment facility grants with financial institution loans to support Union external policies [13];
Põllumajandus: esimese samba veamäär
Points out that while the facilities were well set-up, the potential benefits of blending were not fully realised due to the Commission's management shortcomings; asks the Commission to disburse funding only when the funds are actually needed by the beneficiary and to improve its monitoring of the Union grant implementation;
peab kahetsusväärseks, et EAGFi maksed sisaldasid 2013. aastal olulisel määral vigu ja kontrollikoja hinnangul on kõige tõenäolisem veamäär 3,6 % (2012. aastal 3,8 %) [22] ning viiest kuludena kajastatud maksete seisukohast uuritud kontrollisüsteemist hinnati kaks mittemõjusaks, kaks osaliselt mõjusaks ja ainult üks mõjusaks;
Responsibility of the Commission and Member States in shared management
rõhutab, et kontrollikoja poolt kindlaks tehtud 101 kvantifitseeritavast veast 33 puhul oli liikmesriikide ametiasutustel küllalt teavet nende vigade vähemalt osaliseks vältimiseks, avastamiseks ja parandamiseks ning et kui kogu seda teavet oleks korrektselt kasutatud, oleks selle valdkonna kõige tõenäolisem hinnanguline veamäär olnud 1,1 % võrra madalam ja seega olulisuse piirmäärale (2 %) suhteliselt lähedal; rõhutab, et liikmesriikidel on tähtis kohustus täita liidu eelarvet korrektselt ja seaduslikult, kui nad on vastutavad liidu vahendite haldamise eest;
Emphasises the fact that in accordance with Article 317 TFEU, the Commission is ultimately responsible for the implementation of the Union budget; points out that where the Commission implements the budget under shared management, implementation tasks are delegated to Member States pursuant to Article 59 of the Financial Regulation, thereby engaging their political and financial responsibility; reiterates therefore the fact that the Member States should act strictly in accordance with the principle of sound financial management and should not undermine their own responsibility in managing Union funds;
Nõuetele vastavus
Takes note of the Commission communication of 28 October 2014 entitled ‘On the adoption of the inter-institutional working group recommendations for the establishment and use of national declarations’ (COM(2014) 688); points out that the submission of declarations is voluntary, and therefore welcomes the fact that four Member States — Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom — have decided to submit them; regrets, however, that those declarations differ in form, scope, comprehensiveness and the reporting period and notes that as a result of this, they are therefore of little use;
juhib tähelepanu asjaolule, et kontrollikoja audit hõlmas nõuetele vastavuse tingimusi ning et juhtumeid, kus neid tingimusi ei täidetud, käsitati veana siis, kui avastati, et rikkumine leidis aset aastal, mis põllumajandustootja toetust taotles; juhib tähelepanu sellele, et kontrollikoda võtab veamäära arvutamisel nõuetele vastavuse valdkonnas esinevaid puudusi arvesse, kuid märgib, et komisjoni arvates ei puuduta nõuetele vastavus maksete rahastamiskõlbulikkust, vaid toob ainult kaasa halduskaristuste kehtestamise;
Points out that according to numerous statements by the Court of Auditors, national management declarations as provided by the four abovementioned Member States have very limited value in the Court of Auditors' auditing process and cannot be considered as reliable source of information for issuing the statement of assurance;
võtab teadmiseks, et komisjon teatab kontrollikojale saadetud vastuses, et aastate 2014–2020 programmitöö perioodiks on õigusraamistikku lihtsustatud, ning palub komisjonil 2015. aasta lõpuks ette kanda, millised olid nende lihtsustamismeetmete praktilised tagajärjed ja milliseid lisameetmeid võiks endiselt keerukate eeskirjade ja abikõlblikkustingimuste suhtes võtta;
Regrets, furthermore, in relation to the abovementioned Commission communication of 28 October 2014, the lack of substantial progress to improve the financial management which could lead to a continuous loss of Union money due to wrong decisions at political and managerial levels; calls for a sanction system if Member States transmit incorrect programme information and declarations;
Turumeetmete veamäärad
Calls therefore on the Commission and the Council to take concrete and meaningful steps to enable the necessary progress in sound financial management, including the increased use of the instrument of national declarations which in practice do not require much extra effort (reportedly less than 1 full-time equivalent on a yearly basis per Member State), while also noting that it is of great importance that Member States take political responsibility for the use of Union funds by means of a public document; calls on the Commission and the Member States to publish not only the national declarations but also the annual summaries and management declarations in order to give more insight in and achieve a real improvement of the financial management; urges the Commission to submit a recommendation to Parliament and the Council to promote the use of national declarations in line with the recommendations by the interinstitutional working group for the establishment and use of national declarations;
peab murettekitavaks, et põllumajandussektori turumeetmete veamäär on komisjoni arvutuste alusel 7,44 %; peab kahetsusväärseks, et see on poliitikavaldkondade 2013. aasta veamäärade hulgas kõrguselt teine;
Considers it essential to promote full transparency in the use of structural funds through the publication of the accounting documentation of assigned projects;
rõhutab, et reservatsioonid, mille põllumajanduse ja maaelu arengu peadirektoraadi peadirektor lisas oma 2013. aasta tegevusaruandesse, kinnitavad turumeetmete murettekitavat seisu, sest reservatsioonid puudutavad üheksa liikmesriigi seitset toetuskava eelkõige järgmistes sektorites: puu- ja köögiviljakasvatus, viinamarjaistanduste ümberkorraldamine, veinidesse investeerimine, kodulindude ekspordi toetused ja koolipiima kava;
Reliability of the data communicated by the Member States
juhib tähelepanu asjaolule, et paljud väiksemad programmid, nt koolidele puuvilja ja piima jagamise kavad, ei ole kasutajasõbralikud (osalt nendega seotud bürokraatia tõttu) ning seepärast on nende kasutusele võtmine ja rakendamine ebapiisavad;
Notes the lack of reliability of the first level checks performed by the Member States in shared management undermines the credibility of the annual activity reports drafted by the Commission services and the Synthesis report adopted by the Commission as they are partially based on the results of the checks performed by the national authorities; reiterates its previous demand that the Commission evaluate and, if necessary, correct the Member States' data in order to establish reliable and objective annual activity reports;
peab kahetsusväärseks kontrollimenetlustes, mida kohaldati puu- ja köögiviljasektori tootjarühmadele tunnustuse andmisel [23] Poolas, Austrias, Madalmaades ja Ühendkuningriigis, esinenud puudusi, millest andis teada kontrollikoda oma 2013. aasta aruandes ja mida kinnitas põllumajanduse ja maaelu arengu peadirektoraadi peadirektor, kes esitas oma 2013. aasta tegevusaruandes reservatsiooni, mis põhines tema hinnangul selle kohta, et selle meetme kogukuludest sisaldab riski umbes 25 % ehk 102,7 miljonit eurot;
Requests that the Directors-General report in detail in their annual activity reports on the error rates notified by the Member States and on the corrections made by the Commission, where appropriate, at the level of operational programmes;
peab eriti kahetsusväärseks puudusi, mille komisjon leidis viinamarjaistanduste ümberkorraldamise meetmete puhul Hispaanias ja mis andsid põhjust reservatsiooniks, mille põllumajanduse ja maaelu arengu peadirektoraadi peadirektor esitas 33 % korrigeeritud veamäära ja 54 miljoni euro suuruse riski sisaldava summa alusel, ühtlasi peab kahetsusväärseks puudusi, mille komisjon leidis Prantsusmaa kodulindude ekspordi meetme puhul 69,6 % korrigeeritud veamäära ja 29,3 miljoni euro suuruse riski sisaldava summa alusel;
Worst performing Member States
Liikmesriikide poolt otsetoetuse kohta esitatud andmete usaldusväärsus
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;
tunneb heameelt selle üle, et kuna liikmesriikide kontrollistatistikas esitatud veamäärad ei hõlma kõiki allesjäänud veamäära elemente ning ei ole ka alati usaldusväärsed, hindas põllumajanduse ja maaelu arengu peadirektoraat kogu olemasolevale teabele (sh kontrollikoja auditileidudele) tuginedes igat makseasutust eraldi;
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;
kordab Euroopa Kontrollikoja väiteid [24] selle kohta, et selle uue käsitlusviisi abil saadud tulemused kinnitavad, et liikmesriikide kontrollistatistikast, makseasutuste direktorite kinnitustest ja sertifitseerimisasutuste tööst saadav kindlus on piiratud;
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;
juhib tähelepanu sellele, et kuigi peaaegu kõiki otsetoetustega seotud makseasutusi akrediteeriti ja sertifitseeriti sertifitseerimisasutuste poolt ning kuigi 82st makseasutuste koostatud kinnitavast avaldusest 79 kohta esitasid sertifitseerimisasutused 2013. aastal märkusteta arvamuse, mis kinnitab makseasutuste direktorite esitatud kinnitava avalduse täpsust, pidi komisjon 68 makseasutuste poolt teatatud veamäärasid korrigeerimiseks tõstma 42 asutuse puhul, nii et allesjäänud veamäär jäi üle 2 %;
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;
juhib tähelepanu sellele, et viis kõige kõrgema veamääraga makseasutust olid järgmised:
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;
