Welcomes the fact that the External Borders Fund has helped to foster financial solidarity; criticises the fact, despite this, that further Union added value was limited and that the overall result could not be measured due to weaknesses in the responsible authorities' monitoring and serious deficiencies in the ex post evaluations conducted by the Commission and the Member States;

Prezentarea rapoartelor anuale ale Curții de Conturi de către președintele acesteia, Vítor Manuel da Silva Caldeira, în cadrul reuniunii Comisiei CONT din 5 noiembrie 2014.
Notes the Commission replies on the progress made in implementing the Galileo project: four Galileo In-Orbit Validation (IOV) satellites were successfully launched in 2011 and 2012, the Galileo In-Orbit Validation phase was successfully concluded in 2014, the system design, the performance targets and the baseline for system operation were successfully confirmed, the ground infrastructure, with many ground stations worldwide, has been completed for the initial operations, the Galileo Search-and-Rescue capability of the IOV-satellites was successfully demonstrated, the launch of two satellites (no.

Notes that in 2013, the Court of Auditors audited eight transactions in the transport sector and found that five of them were affected by one or more errors; draws attention to the increase of the percentage of affected transactions in 2013 (62 %) compared to 2012 (49 %) and is concerned that, as in previous years, the Court of Auditors has found several errors in relation to non-compliance with Union and national procurement rules for the TEN-T projects examined; takes note that as in the preceding year of 2012, once more in 2013, DG MOVE did not issue a reservation related to public procurement errors; insists, therefore, that the Commission undertake the necessary measures in order to exclude such errors in the future; notes that it is of the utmost importance to extend the ex ante and ex post control of the beneficiaries of Commission grants, funding and financing in order to avoid the misuse of the Community allocation of resources and to ensure a verification of performance; emphasises that even if the funding period 2007-2013 is formally over, there is a N + 2 principle for cohesion funding, meaning that many projects are still under construction until the end of this year;

Calls on the Commission, for the sake of transparency, to publish an easily accessible annual list of transport projects co-financed by the Union, including the exact funding amount for each individual project; notes that this list of projects shall include all sources of Union funding such as TEN-T, Horizon 2020, Cohesion and Regional Funds;

Recalls that the transport projects in the period between 2007 — 2013 and 2014 — 2020 have been and will be financed by multiple sources, including the CEF, the Cohesion Fund and the European Regional Development Fund; calls on the Commission to seek more synergy between different sources of funding to seek a more efficient allocation of Union funds;

Environment and public health
Avizul nr. 7/2014 referitor la o propunere de regulament al Consiliului de modificare a Regulamentului (CE, Euratom) nr. 1150/2000 privind punerea în aplicare a Deciziei 2007/436/CE, Euratom referitoare la sistemul resurselor proprii ale Comunităților Europene (JO C 459, 19.12.2014, p. 1).
Is satisfied with the overall implementation of the budgetary headings for environment, climate action, public health and food safety in 2013; recalls again that only less than 0,5 % of the Union budget is dedicated to those policy instruments, while bearing in mind the clear Union added value in these fields and the support from Union citizens for Union environmental and climate policies, as well as for public health and food safety; regrets that this percentage has fallen to 0,5 % from 0,8 % in 2012;
Texte adoptate, P7_TA(2013)0078.
Takes note of the presentation of the environment and health policy areas within the Court of Auditors' Annual Report for 2013; is concerned that both policy areas appear again in the chapter also devoted to rural development and fisheries; reiterates its criticism towards this composition of policy areas, and urges the Court of Auditors to revise its approach with the next annual report; refers in this connection to the Court of Auditors' Special Report No 12/2014 entitled ‘Is the ERDF effective in funding projects that directly promote biodiversity under the EU biodiversity strategy to 2020?’, which stresses the need for the Commission to maintain an accurate record of direct and indirect spending on biodiversity, including Natura 2000; urges the Member States to facilitate this process by providing accurate data;

Acknowledges that the Court of Auditors carries out random checks in the Member States very systematically and establishes the error rate on the basis thereof; notes that the Court of Auditors does not indicate in which Member States or in which areas the greatest problems arise; stresses therefore the need for a clear chain of accountability and, in this context, attaches great importance to the quality of control systems in the Member States;
Regulamentul (UE) nr. 1307/2013 al Parlamentului European și al Consiliului din 17 decembrie 2013 de stabilire a unor norme privind plățile directe acordate fermierilor prin scheme de sprijin în cadrul politicii agricole comune și de abrogare a Regulamentului (CE) nr. 637/2008 al Consiliului și a Regulamentului (CE) nr. 73/2009 al Consiliului (JO L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 608).
Considers the progress in the implementation of 14 Pilot Projects (PPs) and six Preparatory Actions (PAs) amounting altogether to EUR 5983607 as satisfactory; encourages the Commission to continue implementing PPs and PAs as proposed by Parliament;

Notes that DG SANCO was responsible for implementing EUR 233928461 on public health budget lines in 2013, of which 98,1 % have been committed satisfactorily; is aware that roughly 77 % of that budget is directly transferred to three decentralised agencies (the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA)) and that all credits were implemented at 100 % except for EMA and EFSA and that this under-execution of EMA and EFSA commitment appropriations corresponds to the outturn of 2012;

Welcomes the fact that in 2013, the budget execution rate for the 2007–2013 programmes, in particular Lifelong Learning (LLP), Culture, Media and Youth in Action programmes was 100 %; asks that the budget in the framework of the 2014-2020 Education and Culture programmes be strengthened and increased; is particularly worried that at the end of the year, the mismatch between the adopted commitment and payment appropriations resulted in shortage of payments (amounting in the Erasmus+ programme, for example, to a shortfall of EUR 202 million) with grave negative repercussions on the following year; is strongly concerned and also regrets that a similar situation might develop in the context of the new programmes, especially Erasmus+ and Creative Europe, which would in turn determine a dangerous loss of credibility by the Union and would undermine the citizens' trust in the Union institutions and have disastrous consequences on participants to the programmes;
Frecvența a crescut substanțial: de la 41 % în 2012 la 61 % în 2013.
Welcomes the fact that since its launch in 1987, the Erasmus programme has reached and surpassed the 3 million students benchmark; notes the sustained success this Union flagship programme — one that has contributed to European integration and the rising awareness of and sense of belonging to a common European citizenship — has enjoyed since its inception;
În conformitate cu Regulamentul (CE) nr. 1234/2007 al Consiliului din 22 octombrie 2007 de instituire a unei organizări comune a piețelor agricole și privind dispoziții specifice referitoare la anumite produse agricole (Regulamentul unic OCP) (JO L 299, 16.11.2007, p. 1), în anumite regiuni se poate acorda un ajutor tranzitoriu pentru a încuraja producătorii care doresc să dobândească statutul de organizație a producătorilor (OP) să creeze grupuri de producători.
Is concerned that at a European level — as reported in the Eurobarometer Special Report 399 on cultural access and participation from 2013 — public budgets dedicated to the safeguarding and promotion of cultural heritage are noticeably decreasing, as is participation in traditional cultural activities; considers therefore that the new Union instruments to support the European Agenda for Culture — such as the Creative Europe and Horizon 2020 programmes, or the Europeana cultural platform — must be strengthened;
Această finanțare poate fi rambursată parțial de UE și se întrerupe imediat ce grupul de producători este recunoscut drept o organizație a producătorilor.
Takes note that the Director-General of Directorate-General for Research and Innovation issued a general reservation with regard to the accuracy of cost claims (EUR 3664 million) for the FP7 in the Directorate-General's annual activity report, although he himself expects the ‘net financial impact of errors’, based on 1552 closed projects, to be around 2,09 %, meaning close to the materiality threshold; considers that such reservations render the term ‘sound financial management’ meaningless; calls therefore on the Director-General to use reservations, in future, in a more specific and targeted way;

Calls on the Commission to provide supplementary information on spending for the Information and Communication Technologies Policy Support Programme in time for the 2013 Commission's discharge follow-up report; notes that for this programme the amount of payments at risk could be as high as EUR 3,4 million in 2013 resulting in a residual error rate of 2,8 %; notes that in spite of these circumstances the Director-General of Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) did not issue a reservation;

Calls on the Commission to report comprehensively, in time for the 2014 discharge procedure, on the increasing ‘policy-orientation’ of the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation which was triggered by outsourcing the management of two-thirds of the FP7's operational costs to non-Commission bodies;

Welcomes the ongoing discussions between OLAF and the OLAF Supervisory Committee (SC) on the revision of the Working Arrangements (WA) and encourages them to reach a common and satisfactory agreement; takes note of the efforts of OLAF to implement the WA; stresses that these efforts should not be disproportionate, considering the resource constraints in the office;
Media este alcătuită din următoarele componente: 8,4 % pentru 2011, 8,3 % pentru 2012 și 7,9 % pentru 2013.
Points out that Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 883/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council [50] in force since 1 October 2013 obliges OLAF to guarantee the independent functioning of the Supervisory Committee (OLAF-SC) Secretariat (Recital 40 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 883/2013); is unaware, at this stage, of measures taken to implement this legal obligation; urges the Commission to take immediate steps to remedy the situation;

Points out that over the last four years (2011-2014), 336145 applications were received for all selection procedures launched by the European Personnel Selection Office, that the average cost of processing one application can be estimated at EUR 238 and that less than 10 % of those candidates are finally placed on a reserve list; demands that Union taxpayers' money be saved by cutting red tape and prolonging the validity of the established reserve lists to at least two years; demands the Commission to report on this issue by June 2015;
