Notes that the Court of Auditors describes the supervisory and control systems for the Framework Programmes of Research which it has audited as partially effective, while it rates the audited supervisory and control system for the Lifelong Learning Programme as effective;
poziva Komisijo, naj zagotovi, da bodo poskusi konsolidacije v arhitekturi IKT usmerjeni v priznane odprte standarde, ki jih uporablja več ponudnikov in jih je mogoče izvajati z odprtokodno programsko opremo; opozarja, da je v lastnih prostorih zaradi geografske lokacije laže preprečevati dostop tujega interesa do sistema za shranjevanje elektronske pošte;
Stresses that the errors have been the same for years: primarily the charging of ineligible costs;
Študije in svetovanje/posvetovanje, ki jih zagotavljajo zunanji ponudniki
Welcomes the fact that the annual activity reports of the directorates-general which the Court of Auditors has analysed contain an appropriate assessment of financial management in terms of the regularity of the underlying transactions: notes that the information submitted largely confirms the observations and conclusions of the Court of Auditors;
ugotavlja, da Komisija Parlamentu iz sistema ABAC, ki ga upravlja Komisija, ni mogla zagotoviti jasnega in strnjenega seznama v strojno čitljivi obliki, kot sta preglednica v programu Excel ali datoteka CSV, ki bi vključeval teme vseh študij ter posebna vprašanja zunanjega svetovanja/posvetovanja, ki so ga za Komisijo opravili zunanji ponudniki, z navedbo imen teh ponudnikov in držav, v katerih imajo zadevni ponudniki sedež, ter datuma, ko so odredbodajalci namenili proračunska sredstva za študije ali zunanje svetovanje, razčlenjenega po letih od 2009 do 2013; pričakuje, da bo seznam predložen Odboru za proračunski nadzor do 1. maja 2014;
Considers it incomprehensible that the Court of Auditors still finds a significant error rate in the cost statements drawn up by independent auditors; considers, therefore, that the Commission and Member States should supply auditors with all the necessary background material and training material to facilitate correct auditing of cost statements; stresses that certified cost statements make sense only if the Commission can rely on them;
Proračun EU in doseganje rezultatov
Joins the Court of Auditors in welcoming the simplification measures introduced by the Commission from 2011 (e.g. for the methods used by beneficiaries to calculate average staff costs) and the report on the subject submitted by the Commission [39]; calls on the Commission to update this report for the 2013 discharge procedure;
Načrti upravljanja in letna poročila o dejavnostih
Stresses the importance of the Court of Auditors’ Special Report 2/2013, ‘Has the Commission ensured efficient implementation of the seventh framework programme for research?’, which Parliament has analysed on 3 April 2014 [40];
ugotavlja, da so generalni direktorji cilje, določene v členu 38(3)(e) finančne uredbe (EU, Euratom) št. 966/2012, ki bi morali biti izmerjeni na podlagi kazalnikov, v glavnem vključili v načrte upravljanja, in opozarja, da bi morali v letnih poročilih o dejavnostih poročati o tem, kateri cilji so bili doseženi in v kolikšni meri so dosegli želeni učinek;
Learns from the 2012 activity report for research and innovation that the prime concern in the administration of research is to strike an acceptable balance between the attractiveness of the programme to participants and the justified requirements of financial control; notes that, in this connection, the Director-General stated that a procedure designed to attain a residual error rate of 2 % under all circumstances is not viable [41];
je zadovoljen, da je Komisija v smislu zmanjševanja števila ciljev in kazalnikov v delovnem dokumentu (del 1) k predlogu proračuna za leto 2014 (glej COM(2013) 450) pri odhodkih za poslovanje uvedla izjave o programih;
Is concerned that the Court of Auditors, as in relation to the 2011 financial year, has identified substantial quantifiable errors in projects under the programme in support of Information and Communications Technologies; notes that the Commission has devised a special audit strategy for non-research projects, in accordance with which – up to 2017 – 215 audits of non-research projects are to be performed; calls on the Commission to report whether the wrongly paid EUR 470000 has been recovered;
se pridružuje kritiki Računskega sodišča (točka 10.9 letnega poročila 2012) v zvezi s tem, da cilji, prevzeti iz krovnih političnih ali zakonodajnih dokumentov, pogosto niso dovolj konkretni, zato ne pridejo v poštev za načrte upravljanja in letna poročila o dejavnostih;
Notes that up to the end of 2012, in relation to the 6th framework programme, 78 % of the projected corrections were made; 1506 out of a total of 7101 corrections were still pending; of these, 1336 relate to audits closed in 2011 or earlier; calls on the Commission to report on the status of projected corrections relating to FP6;
poudarja, da se ti „cilji, prevzeti iz krovnih političnih dokumentov“, pogosto nanašajo na politična področja, ki niso v izključni pristojnosti Unije; zato poziva generalne direktorje, naj določijo cilje, ki natančno ustrezajo pooblastilom Unije, pri čemer naj bodo zelo pozorni na načelo subsidiarnosti;
Is concerned that the inadequate progress in introducing the Schengen Information System II (SIS II) has led the Director-General for Home Affairs to include a reservation in his activity report; calls on the Commission to report on the progress in introducing SIS II;
obžaluje, da ocenjevanja niso bila uporaben vir dokazov za krepitev poročanja o političnih dosežkih v letnih poročilih o dejavnostih in da je do tega prišlo predvsem zato, ker so bila bolj usmerjena v operativna vprašanja kot v smotrnost poslovanja, ali zaradi dvomov Komisije o kakovosti informacij, ki jih je pridobila od organov držav članic;
OLAF
Poročilo o oceni financ iz člena 318 PDEU
Observes that the President of the Commission still has not accounted to Parliament in plenary for the loss of office of Health Commissioner John Dalli on 16 October 2012; insists on the necessity of respecting the presumption of innocence and notes that the serious accusations of corruption levelled at the Commissioner by the tobacco industry, which he has always rejected, remain unproven to this day;
obžaluje, da je Komisija, namesto da bi se osredotočila na uresničevanje glavnih ciljev Unije, ponudila samo niz ocenjevalnih povzetkov za programe EU z vseh področij politik EU, in sicer za odhodke po proračunskih postavkah v večletnem finančnem okviru 2007–2013;
Strongly deplores the fact that OLAF’s investigation of the accusations has been seriously flawed, according to an analysis by the OLAF Supervisory Committee, and that OLAF refuses to explain matters and is also not being called to account in this respect;
spominja, da je Parlament 17. aprila 2013 pozval Komisijo, naj spremeni strukturo ocenjevalnega poročila iz člena 318, tako da loči notranje politike od zunanjih in se v poglavju, ki se nanaša na notranjo politiko, osredotoči na strategijo Evropa 2020, pri tem pa nameni poudarek napredku, doseženem pri uresničevanju vodilnih pobud [45];
Draws attention to the reversal of the burden of proof in this case, such that the focus is not on the culpability of the accused but it is necessary for the accused himself to seek to prove his innocence before a series of courts; draws attention to the fact that Mr Dalli has contested the voluntary character and the lawfulness of his resignation before the General Court of the European Court of Justice which might result in an award of damages to the detriment of the taxpayer and has also launched an action in defamation against Swedish Match before the Belgian authorities;
pozdravlja, da namerava Komisija izboljšati poročanje o smotrnosti poslovanja v letnih poročilih o dejavnostih, letne načrte upravljanja in letna poročila o dejavnostih tesneje povezati s poročilom o ocenjevanju v skladu s členom 318 ter poročilo o ocenjevanju sprejeti hkrati z zbirnim poročilom;
Calls for complete clarification and for full and prompt cooperation by the Commission with the courts in Belgium and Malta in the Dalli case and for an independent inquiry into the methods used by OLAF in this case;
pozdravlja, da namerava Komisija na novo oblikovati in razčleniti poročilo o ocenjevanju na podlagi nove zasnove smotrnosti poslovanja, vzpostavljene z večletnim finančnim okvirom 2014–2020; vendar ponovno poudarja, da bi morala ta zasnova vsebovati naslednje tri glavne elemente: doseganje ciljev programa (rezultati), dobro upravljanje programov s strani Komisije in držav članic, vrsta prispevka rezultatov in dobrega upravljanja k uresničevanju glavnih ciljev Unije;
Is worried about the high financial indicators for opening an investigation included in the Investigative Policy Priorities of OLAF for the years 2012 and 2013 that are in the customs sector: EUR 1 million, in the agriculture sectors: EUR 100000 for Sapard and above EUR 250000 for agriculture; in the structural funds: EUR 500000 in the European Social Fund as well as in the Cohesion Fund and EUR 1 million in ERDF, in the external aid and centralised expenditure sectors: EUR 50000 and also in the Union staff sector: EUR 10000; criticises that it is in the responsibility of the managing DGs to care about possible fraud cases below these financial indicators without having qualified staff at their disposal; sees taxpayers money and the financial interest of the Union endangered;
opozarja, da Komisija za zagotovitev dobrega finančnega poslovodenja s sredstvi Unije upravlja centralno podatkovno zbirko o izključitvah – zbirko podatkov o subjektih, izključenih iz financiranja Unije zaradi nesolventnosti, ker so bili pravnomočno obsojeni zaradi goljufije ali korupcije, zaradi odločitve naročnika, ker so storili hudo kaznivo dejanje v zvezi s svojim poslovanjem, in zaradi navzkrižja interesov; obžaluje, da centralna podatkovna zbirka o izključitvah, ki jo upravlja Komisija, ni dostopna javnosti ali poslancem Parlamenta; opozarja, da je podobna zbirka podatkov o izključenih družbah, ki jo upravlja Svetovna banka, javna; poziva Komisijo, naj javnosti omogoči dostop do centralne podatkovne zbirke o izključitvah.
Notes that it has not received eight months after the adoption of Parliament’s resolution [42] on the protection of the financial interest 2011 in plenary, the legal analysis of the legality of recordings of private phone conversations during administrative investigations concerning members of the Union institutions and Union officials conducted by OLAF requested in paragraph 75 of that resolution;
UL C 331, 14.11.2013, str.
Is deeply concerned about the findings of the Supervisory Committee that OLAF has not established a prior legality check for investigative measures other than those specifically listed in OLAF’s Instructions to Staff on Investigative Procedures (ISIP); notes that this endangers respect for the fundamental rights of, and procedural guarantees relating to, the persons concerned;
10.
Notes that breaches of essential procedural requirements during preparatory investigations could affect the legality of the final decision taken on the basis of investigations by OLAF; assesses this as potentially high-risk, since breaches would thus incur the legal liability of the Commission;
UL L 11, 16.1.2003, str.
Deems the direct participation of OLAF’s Director-General in some investigative tasks, inter alia, interviews of witnesses, unacceptable; points out that the Director-General could be faced with a conflict of interest, since, under Article 90(a) of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union and Article 23(1) of the ISIP he is the authority who receives complaints against OLAF’s investigations and decides whether or not appropriate action is taken with regard to any failure to respect procedural guarantees;
1.
Notes with concern the large number of suspected fraud cases which the Commission has reported to OLAF but which OLAF dismissed and referred back to the Commission; observes that no record is kept of the follow-up measures taken by the Commission; calls on OLAF at least to monitor the follow-up measures to these cases; calls for an analysis of the suspected fraud cases dismissed and referred back to the Commission in 2012 and 2013;
UL L 347, 20.12.2013, str.
Is alarmed by the results of two surveys among OLAF staff and the shortcomings which have become apparent in the functioning of OLAF since the reorganisations; calls on the Court of Auditors to perform a follow-up audit and to follow up its Special Report 2/2011 in order to investigate the impact of the reorganisation;
320.
Requests that the Commission provide the Committee on Budgetary Control with a non-redacted version of the document D/000955 from the 5 February 2009 produced by OLAF on the misuse of Union funds by a high-ranking member of a Union institution;
Uredba (EU, Euratom) št. 1311/2013 Sveta z dne 2. decembra 2013 o večletnem finančnem okviru za obdobje 2014–2020 (UL L 347, 20.12.2013, str.
Expects to be informed by the Commission about all Clearing House meetings in 2012 and 2013 in regard to the participants at these meetings and the agendas; is worried about the independence of OLAF and requests that the Supervisory Committee analyse how far the Clearing House meetings endanger the independence of OLAF;

Tobacco smuggling
COM(2013) 682 z dne 26. septembra 2013.
Calls for an assessment of the existing agreements with the four tobacco groups (Philip Morris International Corporation Inc.
COM(2013) 934 z dne 13. decembra 2013.
(PMI), Japan Tobacco International Corporation, British American Tobacco Corporation and Imperial Tobacco Corporation), taking into account the new Directive on Tobacco Products [43], the ratification of the Protocol to the FCTC Convention [44] and Parliament’s view on the issue of whether and, if appropriate, how the tobacco cooperation agreement with PMI is to be extended;
Delovni dokument osebja Komisije – povzetek povzetkov notranjih revizij, ki jih je služba za notranjo revizijo dokončala leta 2012 (SWD(2013) 314), od str.
Calls for decisive measures by OLAF to combat cigarette smuggling: liaison units with China, the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine and at the appropriate places where smuggling is concentrated, as well as at Europol, in order to improve cooperation; stresses the importance of access to information and relevant databases in this connection;
22 naprej, ter letno poročilo o dejavnostih Generalnega direktorata za kmetijstvo in razvoj podeželja, str.
Calls on the Commission to describe what measures need to be taken in the Union to control the market for tobacco leaves, cut raw tobacco and mechanical equipment for the production of cigarettes, in order to combat illegal cigarette factories;

Absence of progress in Bulgaria
Sporočilo za javnost ECA/13/47 Evropskega računskega sodišča v zvezi s posebnim poročilom 16/2013 o „enotni reviziji“, 18. december 2013.
Welcomes the clear statements by the Commission in the progress report of 22 January 2014 on developments in Bulgaria; is very concerned about the lack of progress under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism, which is now seven years old, and about the persistently high prevalence of corruption and the general difficulty observed there in assigning responsibilities and correcting errors; calls on the Commission to adopt a resolute attitude towards Bulgaria and to seriously examine whether it is even possible for Union funds to be deployed in accordance with the rules in such an environment;
COM(2005) 12 z dne 26. januarja 2005, str.
Slow progress in Romania
6.
Welcomes the findings in the Commission’s progress report of 22 January 2014 on developments in Romania; is very concerned about the slow progress made by Romania under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism; draws attention to proposals to amend the Penal Code on issues regarding conflicts of interest for locally elected office-holders and an amnesty for Members of Parliament guilty of corruption; considers that it is hardly possible, in the light of this development, to deploy Union funds in accordance with the rules in such an environment;
COM(2013) 682/2 z dne 30. septembra 2013.
Roma
Glej točki 4 in 5 sporočila (COM(2013) 682/2).
Observes that the Commission is fundamentally unable to make any statements about measures funded by the EU budget to promote the integration of Roma people in their home countries; is critical of the fact that, despite the Roma Strategy of 2010, the Commission has not sought any way of demonstrating how measures have been taken for the benefit of Roma people; criticises the inadequate gathering of data by the Commission in the ESF, which does not make it possible to show Union citizens and tax-payers what has been achieved in terms of integration of Roma people drawing on ESF and Structural Fund appropriations; reminds the Commission that it has a duty to account for the use of Union tax revenue for the benefit of Roma people;
Študija za količinsko opredelitev in analizo vrzeli DDV v 27 državah članicah EU – končno poročilo (TAXUD/2012/EN/316) http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/vat/key_documents/reports_published/index_en.htm
Notes an increase in complaints by civil-society organisations whose operations at least partially concern the Roma and which are denied access to Union funding because of an excess of red tape; calls on the Commission to support these organisations more in the overall process;
UL L 347, 11.12.2006, str.
IT policies
1.
Calls on the Commission to explore open source, well-audited solutions for e-mail and calendaring, including end-user software; reminds the Commission that also other parts of the stack not normally visible to end-users such as firewalls, web servers etc. can be considered from an open source, secure perspective if a public tender relies on functional specifications rather than brand-name products;
Opomba 15, točka 3.9 letnega poročila za 2012.
Is concerned with the situation of effective captivity of the Union institutions with specific software-vendors; deplores that the Commission despite this realisation has made no steps in 2012 towards preparing open, public tenders for ICT, based on transparent criteria and functional specifications rather than brand-names;
Predpisane zahteve glede ravnanja in zahteve za ohranjanje dobrih kmetijskih in okoljskih pogojev.
Recalls that the size of the SACHA II contract, and the full set of specific brand name products defined therein, was so large that only a very small number of contractors (two) could participate in the open, public tender; urges the Commission to prepare smaller open, public tenders to enable more actors to participate in such procurement and with a larger diversity of offers;
Litva, Slovaška, Ciper, Malta, Italija, Španija, Združeno kraljestvo, Francija, Grčija, Portugalska, Avstrija, Švedska (glej letna poročila Računskega sodišča od leta 2007).
Urges the Commission to ensure that any consolidation endeavours in the ICT architecture goes towards well-accepted, open standards that are used by multiple vendors and which can be implemented by open source software; recalls that it is easier to ensure that e-mail storage on the premises is not accessed by foreign interests because of its geographical location;

Studies and advice/consultation from external providers
V večini primerov so bile ugotovljene naslednje pomanjkljivosti: pomanjkljivosti pri upravnih pregledih v zvezi s pogoji za upravičenost in obveznostmi, npr. neupravičen DDV ali dvojno financiranje, nezadostna ocena razumnosti stroškov (Nemčija (Brandenburg in Berlin), Poljska, Romunija in Švedska), pomanjkljivosti pri izvedbi znižanj ali izterjav, pomanjkljivosti pri zasnovi in delovanju kontrolnega sistema za preverjanje navzkrižne skladnosti: nezadostni standardi za dobre kmetijske in okoljske pogoje ali nepravilno izvajanje direktive o nitratih.
Notes that the Commission was not able to provide Parliament with a clear, concise list in a machine readable format from the Commissions ABAC system such as an Excel table or a CSV file that includes the topics of all studies as well as the specific issue of any external advice/consultation carried out for the Commission by external providers with the names of these providers as well as the country where the respective provider has its seat while also indicating the date the authorising officers committed the budget appropriations for the studies or the external advice broken down by years starting in 2009 ending 2013; expects that list to be submitted to the Committee on Budgetary Control until 1 May 2014;
Uredba Sveta (ES) št. 1290/2005 z dne 21. junija 2005 o financiranju skupne kmetijske politike (UL L 209, 11.8.2005, str.
Getting results from the EU budget
1).
Shares the criticism expressed by the Court of Auditors (Annual Report for 2012, point 10.9) that the objectives taken directly from high-level policy or legislative documents are often not sufficiently focused and are therefore not useful for management plans and annual activity reports;
Uredba (EU) št. 1303/2013 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 17. decembra 2013 o skupnih določbah o Evropskem skladu za regionalni razvoj, Evropskem socialnem skladu, Kohezijskem skladu, Evropskem kmetijskem skladu za razvoj podeželja in Evropskem skladu za pomorstvo in ribištvo, o splošnih določbah o Evropskem skladu za regionalni razvoj, Evropskem socialnem skladu, Kohezijskem skladu in Evropskem skladu za pomorstvo in ribištvo ter o razveljavitvi Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 1083/2006 (UL L 347, 20.12.2013, str.
Insists on the fact that those ‘objectives taken from high-level policy documents’ often relate to policies not fully under the responsibility of the Union; therefore calls on the directors-general to define objectives corresponding strictly to the competences of the Union and according fully with the principle of subsidiarity;
320).
Regrets that evaluations have not been a useful source of evidence to substantiate reporting on policy achievements in the annual activity reports and that this is largely due to the fact that evaluations are oriented towards operational questions rather than performance or because the Commission has doubts as to the quality of information obtained from Member States’ authorities;
Uredba (EU) št. 1301/2013 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 17. decembra 2013 o Evropskem skladu za regionalni razvoj in posebnih določbah o cilju naložbe za rast in delovna mesta ter razveljavitvi Uredbe (ES) št. 1080/2006 (UL L 347, 20.12.2013, str.
TFEU Article 318 evaluation report
289).
Regrets the fact that, instead of focusing on the achievement of the Union’s main objectives, the Commission provided a range of evaluation summaries covering European Union programmes in all policy areas of expenditure under the Multiannual Financial Framework 2007-2013 and in accordance with the budget headings;
Uredba (ES) št. 1080/2006 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 5. julija 2006 o Evropskem skladu za regionalni razvoj in razveljavitvi Uredbe (ES) št. 1783/1999 (UL L 210, 31.7.2006, str.
Recalls that on 17 April 2013 Parliament urged the Commission to modify the structure of the Article 318 evaluation report ‘distinguishing the internal polices from the external ones and focussing within the section relating to internal policies on the Europe 2020 strategy, placing the emphasis on the progress made in the achievement of the flagships initiatives’ [45];
1).
Welcomes the fact that the Commission plans to improve performance reporting in the annual activity reports of its directorates-general, to make a closer link between the annual management plans and annual activity reports on the one hand and the Article 318 evaluation report on the other hand and to adopt the evaluation report in parallel with the synthesis report;
Uredba (EU) št. 1304/2013 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 17. decembra 2013 o Evropskem socialnem skladu in o razveljavitvi Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 1081/2006 (UL L 347, 20.12.2013, str.
