med beaktande av betänkandet från budgetkontrollutskottet (A8-0117/2015), och av följande skäl:
Expresses concern that according to the Court's report, the suppliers' statements at year-end were reconciled with considerable difficulty; points out the need to monitoring supplier balances more regularly and to analyse differences in a timelier manner;
A. Den slutliga budgeten för Europeiska byrån för samarbete mellan energitillsynsmyndigheter (nedan kallad byrån) uppgick enligt dess redovisning för budgetåret 2013 till 11930220 EUR, vilket motsvarar en ökning med 64,74 % jämfört med 2012, vilket kan förklaras med att byrån är nyinrättad och med genomförandet av förordningen om integritet och öppenhet på grossistmarknaden för energi (Remit) [1].
Takes note from the Agency, however, that the reconciliation process is a lengthy and time consuming exercise, requiring cooperation and accounting information systems on both sides; acknowledges, furthermore, that most of the public entities which cooperate with the Agency have neither centralised accounting systems nor implement accrual based accounting; acknowledges that the Agency launched an additional reconciliation exercise in 2014 in order to improve the quality of the reconciliation;
Byråns budget kommer helt och hållet från unionens budget.
Regrets that the Agency did not adopt a clear, comprehensive and objective policy for the prevention and management of conflicts of interests; acknowledges that even though the Agency has not yet signed its headquarters agreement, this does not prevent it from adopting internal laws, codes and guidelines that state the necessary definitions, principles and essential requirements for a policy on conflicts of interests; urges the Agency, in addition, to take concrete steps in order to resolve and manage cases concerning conflicts of interests; calls on the Agency to adopt those measures until the end of September 2015 and to inform the discharge authority on the concrete outcome of its conflicts of interests policy;
B. Revisionsrätten har i sin rapport om årsredovisningen för Europeiska byrån för samarbete mellan energitillsynsmyndigheter förklarat att man har uppnått en rimlig säkerhet om att byråns räkenskaper för budgetåret 2013 är tillförlitliga och att de underliggande transaktionerna är lagliga och korrekta.
Acknowledges that the Agency is operational since 2005 and has still not published any CVs and declarations of interests of the members of the Management Board, staff and experts; stresses the need for the publication of those documents that would enable the identification and disclosure of private interests, which could potentially conflict with the duties of the officials;
Uppföljning av ansvarsfrihetsförfarandet för 2012
Urges the Agency to proceed with a rapid, complete and in-depth disclosure of CVs and declarations of interests until the end of September 2015;
Europaparlamentet noterar från revisionsrättens rapport att avseende två kommentarer som gjordes i revisionsrättens rapport för 2011 och som markerades som ”pågår” i revisionsrättens rapport för 2012, har korrigerande åtgärder vidtagits och båda rekommendationerna har i revisionsrättens rapport nu markerats som ”har genomförts”.
Calls on the Agency to adopt comprehensive policies for the management of situations concerning conflicts of interests such as the divestment of the interest by a public official, recusal of the public official from involvement in an affected decision-making process, restriction of access by the affected public official to particular information, re-arrangement of the public official's duties or resignation of the public official from his office;
Parlamentet noterar vidare att för de fem kommentarer som gjordes i revisionsrättens rapport för 2012 har korrigerande åtgärder vidtagits och tre kommentarer är nu markerade som ”har genomförts” och två som ”pågår”.
Notes that budget monitoring efforts during the financial year 2013 resulted in a budget implementation rate of 97,75 %, and that the payment appropriations execution rate was 63,98 %;

Is concerned that EUR 32 million, or 35 % of committed appropriations in 2013, were carried over to 2014; acknowledges from the Court's report that the multiannual nature of the Agency's operations and the heightened risk of unexpected events represent a particular challenge in respect of annual budget planning and implementation and that late amending budgets remain beyond the Agency's control; points out, however, that there is still scope to improve budget monitoring in order to help reduce the level of carry-overs; asks the Agency to take swift actions aimed at improving control over the financing of its operational multiannual activities;
Parlamentet noterar att det beslutet lämnades till revisionsrätten och uppmanar byrån att informera den ansvarsfrihetsbeviljande myndigheten om revisionsrättens ståndpunkt så snart denna är tillgänglig.
Takes note that the carry-overs include global commitments of EUR 5200000, which is the leftover balance of an additional subsidy of EUR 8200000; notes that the subsidy was made available by the budgetary authorities towards the end of 2013 to deal with unexpected and urgent operational needs; observes that the Agency's Financial Regulation does not provide a clear basis for such carry-overs although the global commitment was made to cover the related operations in 2014; regrets that the Agency's Financial Regulation, which follows the revised Framework Financial Regulation, remains vague in this matter, even after its revision in 2013;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar att byrån har vidtagit en rad åtgärder för att förbättra budgetplaneringen genom att utveckla och genomföra en uppsättning riktlinjer som ska följas av de aktörer som är involverade i budgetplaneringen, samt genom att utföra en regelbunden utvärdering och anpassning av det beräknade utnyttjandet av anslag, däribland en månatlig övervakning och rapportering om budgetgenomförandet.
Notes from the Court's report that 20 budgetary transfers amounting to EUR 12200000 were made in 2013; acknowledges that this is partly due to the fact that funds needed for operations had been transferred from other budget lines until additional subsidies were made available; acknowledges furthermore that the Agency reduced the number of transfers compared to 2012 by 30 % and will continue its efforts; observes that the operational needs will continue to steer the allocation of appropriations to the budget lines most in need;
Parlamentet noterar att dessa åtgärder redan har gett resultat i form av bland annat gemensamma tjänster för byråerna, och uppmuntrar byråerna att gå vidare i detta arbete.
Takes note that the Commission's Internal Audit Service (IAS) did not carry out any new audit engagement in the Agency in 2013; notes furthermore that the IAS followed up the status of implementation of the accepted recommendations from the IAS Audits on ‘Grant Management’ and ‘Operational planning based on internal and external stakeholders input’; acknowledges that the IAS concluded that out of the five recommendations reported as ready for review, four are adequately implemented and one ‘Very Important’ recommendation stemming from the audit on ‘Grant Management’ (2009) is downgraded to ‘Important’;
Budgetmässig och ekonomisk förvaltning
Notes that although the Agency became operational as early as in 2005 to present it has only worked on the basis of correspondence and exchanges with the host Member State rather than a comprehensive headquarters agreement between the Agency and the host Member State, which has never been signed; agrees therefore with the Court that such an agreement would further promote transparency in respect of the conditions under which the Agency and its staff operate; asks the authorities of the host Member State to remedy the situation and calls on the Agency to include the implications of the missing agreement in its next annual activity report;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar bekymrat utifrån byråns årliga verksamhetsrapport för 2013 att ingen överenskommelse nåddes om bidrag till byrån från Eftastaterna.
Acknowledges from the Agency that its repeated requests to the authorities of its host Member State were unsuccessful and that the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 1168/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council [1] in December 2011 did not change the situation; notes from the Agency that the authorities of the host Member State recently expressed willingness to start negotiations and that exchanges are under way; calls on the Agency to provide the discharge authority with an update on the state of play of the negotiations;
Europaparlamentet noterar att insatser för uppföljning av budgeten under budgetåret 2013 resulterade i ett budgetgenomförande på 97,53 %, vilket utgör en ökning på 4 % jämfört med 2012, och att genomförnadegraden för betalningsbemyndigandena bara var 55,00 %, under byråns mål på 70 %, vilket i enlighet med den årliga verksamhetsrapporten främst berodde på det sena mottagandet av 2989000 EUR genom en ändringsbudget som godkändes den 31 oktober 2013.
Regulation (EU) No 1168/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2004 establishing a European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (OJ L 304, 22.11.2011, p. 1).

Parlamentet konstaterar att dessa överföringar gäller Remitförordningen och att den exceptionellt höga andelen överföringar framför allt beror på de 2989000 EUR som byrån fick genom en ändringsbudget som godkändes den 31 oktober 2013.

Acknowledges that the Agency is in charge of organising and managing the exploitation of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS); notes that on the basis of a delegation agreement with the Commission, the Agency signed in 2013 a contract for the exploitation of EGNOS for the 2014 to 2021 period for an amount of some EUR 588 million; is concerned that although the competiveness of the procedure is not called into question by the Court, an eligibility criterion applied in the first phase of the procurement procedure, excluding applications from consortia, was not in accordance with the rules on implementation of the Financial Regulation;
Förebyggande och hantering av intressekonflikter samt transparens

Notes with concern that the level of committed appropriations carried over was high for Title II (Administrative expenditure), amounting to EUR 1800000 or 52 %; acknowledges that the main factors contributing to this high level are specific contracts signed at year-end amounting to EUR 900000, due to a late approval of an amending budget in September 2013; notes furthermore that some EUR 400000 relate to services supplied but not invoiced in 2013;
Parlamentet noterar att byrån efter denna översyn utarbetade ett nytt policyförslag, som har varit föremål för byråns interna samrådsförfarande och som ska antas av dess styrelse.

Upphandlings- och rekryteringsförfaranden
Acknowledges that in 2013, the Commission's Internal Audit Service (IAS) carried out an audit in accordance with its Strategic Audit Plan for 2013-2015; notes furthermore that the IAS carried out an operational risk assessment which resulted in the IAS Strategic Internal Audit Plan for the Agency, listing the proposed audit topics for 2014-2016;
