1. megállapítja, hogy a 2004. költségvetési évet a tíz új tagállam 2004. május 1-i belépése, és ezáltal automatikusan a költségvetési keret és terjedelem bővítése jellemezte.
Records that the 2004 financial year was marked by the accession of ten new Member States on 1 May 2004, which automatically led to an extension of the budgetary framework and volume.
A költségvetési ügyvitel szempontjából a 2004-es év a reformok további konszolidálását jelentette és az első év volt, amelyben a költségvetést teljes mértékben a tevékenységalapú költségvetés-tervezés (Activity Based Budgeting - ABB) szerint lett meghatározva és végrehajtva;
As regards the management of the budget, further consolidation of the reform took place in 2004, and this was the first year in which the budget was adopted and implemented totally, on the basis of the Activity Based Budgeting (ABB) system;
2. tudomásul veszi, hogy a Számvevőszék a strukturális intézkedések területén a kezelési és ellenőrzési rendszerekben ismét gyenge pontokat fedezett fel és felhívja különösen a tagállamokat, hogy a nemzeti ellenőrzési szervek és az illetékes független szervek támogatásával haladéktalanul javítsanak a helyzeten;
Notes the fact that, with regard to structural measures, the Court of Auditors found further shortcomings in the management and control systems and calls specifically on the Member States to undertake improvements as a matter of urgency with the assistance of national audit bodies and the relevant independent authorities;
4. felhívja a tagállamokat, a Bizottságot és különösen az illetékes főigazgatóságokat, hogy hatékonyan dolgozzanak együtt a jóhiszeműség és az eredményes pénzgazdálkodás elvei szerint, különösen a Strukturális Alap előirányzatai megfelelő szétosztásának biztosítására;
Calls on Member States, the Commission and in particular the relevant Directorates-General to work together effectively, according to the principles of good faith and sound financial management, to ensure that appropriations from the Structural Funds in particular are properly allocated;
9. megállapítja, hogy a belső politikai területeken még mindig nincs megfelelő biztosíték a kifizetések jogszerűségére és szabályszerűségére; felhívja a Bizottságot annak folyamatos ellenőrzésére, hogy a költségtérítési rendszert lehet-e egyszerűsíteni és a különböző programok folyamatait és eljárásait meg lehet-e világosabban is fogalmazni;
Notes that, in internal policy areas, there is still, unfortunately, no adequate statement of assurance as regards the legality and regularity of payments; calls on the Commission continuously to verify whether its cost-reimbursement systems could not be simplified and the procedures and instructions governing the various programmes could not be formulated more clearly;

VÉLEMÉNY a Belső Piaci és Fogyasztóvédelmi Bizottság részéről
OPINION of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection
A Belső Piaci és Fogyasztóvédelmi Bizottság felhívja a Költségvetési Ellenőrző Bizottságot mint illetékes bizottságot, hogy állásfoglalásra irányuló indítványába foglalja bele a következő javaslatokat:
The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection calls on the Committee on Budgetary Control, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution:
A Szerződés 276. cikke kimondja, hogy a Közösség költségvetését – a Tanács ajánlása alapján – a Parlament hagyja jóvá visszamenőleg, mentesítési eljárás révén.
Under Article 276 of the Treaty, implementation of the Community budget is approved retrospectively by the Parliament - acting on a recommendation of the Council - through the discharge procedure .
Ennek keretében a Parlament hivatalosan kijelenti, és politikailag megerősíti, hogy elégedett a költségvetés Bizottság általi végrehajtásával.
Thereby Parliament states formally and endorses politically that it is satisfied with the implementation of the budget by the Commission.
A mentesítési eljárás a Számvevőszék éves jelentésén alapul, amit az adott költségvetési évet követő év novemberében tesznek közzé.
The basis for the discharge procedure is the annual report by the Court of Auditors, published in the November of the year following the budgetary year to which it refers.
A számvevőszéki jelentésben foglalt megjegyzések a bevételek és kiadások ellenőrzésén alapulnak, amelynek végrehajtására az után kerül sor, hogy valamennyi európai közösségi intézmény előterjesztette könyvvizsgálat utáni adatait.
The observations in the Court's report arise from its audit of revenue and expenditure, following the submission of audited accounts by each of the European institutions.
Valamennyi jelentés igazoló nyilatkozatot tartalmaz az elszámolás megbízhatóságára, valamint az általános költségvetésben foglalt tranzakciók jogszerűségére és szabályszerűségére vonatkozóan.
Each report contains a Statement of Assurance as to the reliability of the accounts and the legality and regularity of the transactions underlying the general budget.
Az éves jelentés ugyanakkor figyelembe veszi a legutolsó mentesítési eljárás óta a Számvevőszék által bizonyos területekre vonatkozóan elfogadott különjelentéseket is, és megjegyzéseket fűz a korábbi jelentésekre reagáló intézkedések helyénvalóságát illetően.
The annual report also takes into account the special reports on particular areas which the Court has adopted since the last discharge procedure; and comments on the adequacy of action taken in response to earlier reports.
A korábbi években tett megfigyeléseket megfelelő intézkedések követték, ezért kellőképpen ellenőrzöttnek tekinthetők.
The observations of previous years have been followed up by appropriate action and therefore can be seen as adequately controlled.
A megjegyzések leglényegesebb részét a SANCO főigazgatóság tevékenységi területére vonatkozó könyvvizsgáló kapacitással kapcsolatban tették.
The main issue of observations were made in relation to the audit capabilities in the field of DG SANCO's activities.
A 6.8., 6.17., 6.32. és 6.34. pontok ilyen megjegyzéseket tartalmaznak, ideértve a Bizottság által tett vagy tervezett, a válaszokban ismertetett lépéseket is.
Under point 6.8, 6.17, 6.32 and 6.34 such observations can be found including the actions envisaged or taken by the Commission as presented by their replies.
Megjegyzendő, hogy a SANCO főigazgatóság nem tudott teljesen megfelelni a 22. és 18. belső ellenőrzési alapszabálynak, de a helyzet mielőbbi orvoslására törekszik.
It should be noted that DG SANCO could not fully live up to Internal Control Standards 22 and 18 but is aiming to rectify this situation soon.
Ráadásul, bizonyos kötelező jelentések hiányában, 6 esetben nem történt meg a kifizetés a kedvezményezettek részére.
Furthermore in the absence of certain required reports in 6 cases payments to beneficiaries had to be withheld.
A Bizottság válasz nélkül hagyta a 6.15. szakaszbeli megjegyzést a fogyasztóvédelmi területen specifikus projektek indítása érdekében éves jelleggel kiírandó versenyfelhívásokat illetően (kerethatározat a 2004-2007-es időszakra egy 72 millió eurós keretnek a fogyasztói politikát támogató közösségi fellépések céljára történő elkülönítéséről).
The observation under section 6.15 concerning the annual call for specific projects in the area of consumer protection (framework decision allotting 72 M € for the years 2004 to 2007 for financing Community actions in support of Consumer Policy) is left without a reply by the Commission.
Ezért helyénvaló lenne ezt a pontot a 3. pontban szereplő javaslatnak megfelelően kezelni.
Therefore it is suggested to underline this point as provided for in suggestion number 3.
Mindent összevetve a fogalmazó úgy véli, hogy a Bizottság meggyőző érvekkel reagált a Bíróság által felvetett pontokra.
By and large, the draftsman believes that the Commission has given convincing answers to the points made by the Court.
Ezért nézetei szerint a Parlamentnek az alábbiakat kellene tennie:
Therefore he believes that Parliament should:
· kedvezően fogadni a Bizottság arra irányuló tevékenységét, hogy a támogatások odaítélése során kizárja a tévedés kockázatát, továbbá a belső piaci és vámpolitikai tevékenységeket illető megjegyzések hiányát
· welcome the Commission's action to exclude risks of errors in grant management as well as welcoming the absence of observations in relation to Internal Market and Customs policy actions
· tudomásul venni, hogy a Bizottság nehéz feladattal küzd, amikor megfelelően könnyítenie kell a támogatáskérők által követendő eljárásokat, és ugyanakkor tökéletesen tiszteletben kell tartania a költségvetési rendelet előírásait
· note the difficult task of the Commission in reconciling the need for adequately light procedures for applicants of grants and proper implementation of the Financial Regulation's requirements
· hangsúlyozni annak szükségességét, hogy az éves ajánlati felhívások megfelelően legyenek végrehajtva, illetve végső soron átalakítani a programszerkezet
· stress the need to implement annual calls for proposals appropriately or eventually adapt the programme structure
· kiemelni a hatékony könyvvizsgálói kapacitás és ennél fogva az erre vonatkozó észrevételek nyomán tett hatékony válaszlépések fontosságát.
· set out the importance of efficient audit capabilities and therefore effective follow-up of respective observations.

az Európai Unió 2004-es pénzügyi évére szóló általános költségvetésének végrehajtására vonatkozó mentesítésről
on the discharge for implementation of the European Union general budget for the financial year 2004
1. tudomásul veszi, hogy a Számvevőszék a 2004-re vonatkozó éves jelentésében megállapította, hogy jelentős növekedés zajlott 2004 folyamán a DG TREN belső ellenőrzési tevékenységében, amelynek során a vizsgált szerződések értéke 52,92 millió euróról 504,00 millió euróra nőtt, illetve a Bizottság javára történő kiigazítások teljes értéke 2,53 millió euróról 14,91 millió euróra nőtt 2004 és 2003 viszonylatában;
Notes that in its annual report for 2004 the Court of Auditors found that there had been a substantial increase in internal audit activity in DG TREN in 2004 where the value of audited contracts rose from EUR 52,92 million to EUR 504,00 million and the total value of adjustments in the Commission's favour rose from EUR 2,53 million to EUR 14,91 million, comparing 2004 to 2003;
6. tudomásul veszi, hogy a Marco Polo kifizetési előirányzatok területén alacsony még a végrehajtás, és mindez a Közösségtől független okokból, és valóban számos előlegki-fizetés nem történt meg, mivel néhány projekt nem tudta felmutatni a szükséges bankgaranciát, illetve rossz bankgarancia-formulát használt;
Notes that another area where implementation has been low is Marco Polo payment appropriations, and this for reasons outside the control of the Community, and that, indeed, a number of advance payments were not executed because some projects were not ready to deliver the required bank guarantee or used wrong bank guarantee forms;
