Emphasises the importance of the Agency’s role in the adoption and implementation of the reform of the common fisheries policy (CFP); stresses its significant contribution to the implementation of the CFP’s ambitious objectives, particularly in light of the increased demands in terms of the monitoring, control and surveillance of fishing activity; stresses the future importance of control underpinned by a large budget geared to supporting the additional financial effort for this field; expresses its readiness, which it shares with the Agency, to ensure that this type of activity is suitably coordinated and structured in all the Member States;

Europaparlamentet gläder sig över att domstolens 60-årsjubiléum, som anordnades 2012, endast medförde minimala direkta kostnader.
Notes, however, that the level of committed appropriations carried over to 2013 was high for title II (administrative expenditure) at 35 % and title III (operating expenditure) at 46 %; acknowledges that for title II, this was caused, to a large extent, by events beyond the Agency’s control, such as the late invoicing of the 2012 office rental costs by the Spanish authorities; notes, moreover, that in order to meet the increased operational needs it was faced with in the last quarter of 2012, the Agency ordered a high volume of goods and services for which delivery was still pending by the end of the year; acknowledges that for title III, an important reason for the high level of carry-overs was the considerable workload faced by the agency as a result of the large number of IT projects that were either launched or ongoing in 2012 and this workload had an impact on the timeliness of procurement procedures in the case of two IT projects launched in 2012; acknowledges, furthermore, that expenses related to training and missions undertaken by staff and experts in the last quarter of 2012 were only due for reimbursement at the beginning of 2013;
