having regard to its decisions on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Union agencies for the financial year 2013,
Europaparlamentet betonar att EU-domstolens beslut mot indexering av löner för perioden mellan den 1 juli 2011 och den 30 juni 2013 hade negativa följder för myndighetens åtagandebemyndigandenivå, vilken uppgick till 1800000 EUR.
having regard to the Commission's report on the follow-up to the discharge for the 2012 financial year (COM(2014) 607), and to the accompanying Commission staff working documents (SWD(2014) 285, SWD(2014) 286),
Europaparlamentet noterar från revisionsrättens rapport att myndigheten lyckades minska den totala nivån på åtagandebemyndiganden som överfördes till efterföljande budgetår från 6547808 EUR för 2012 (36 %) till 3876564 EUR för 2013 (17 %).
having regard to the Court of Auditors' specific annual reports [1] on the annual accounts of the decentralised agencies for the financial year 2013,having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities [2],having regard to Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 [3], and in particular Article 208 thereof,having regard to Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002 of 19 November 2002 on the framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities [4],having regard to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1271/2013 of 30 September 2013 on the framework financial regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 208 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council [5], and in particular Article 110 thereof,having regard to Rule 94 of and Annex V to its Rules of Procedure,
Europaparlamentet konstaterar bekymrat att nivån på överföringar till efterföljande budgetår för avdelning II (EUR 1974511 eller 35 %) och avdelning III (1651203 EUR eller 36 %) var relativt höga, huvudsakligen på grund av den planerade upphandlingen av it-infrastruktur och it-tjänster, för vilka avtalen ingicks som planerat i december 2013 och för vilka tjänsterna utfördes 2014.
having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinions of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs and the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (A8-0070/2015),

Europaparlamentet erfar från myndigheten att avseende rekommendationerna från revisionsrätten och den ansvarsfrihetsbeviljande myndigheten har korrigerande åtgärder vidtagits i alla rekryteringsförfaranden 2012, och de genomfördes systematiskt i alla senare rekryteringsförfaranden.
Reiterates the importance of the tasks performed by agencies and their direct impact on the daily lives of Union citizens, the autonomy of the agencies, in particular of the regulatory agencies and those with the function of independent information collection; reminds that the main reason for establishing agencies was for the purpose of making independent technical or scientific assessments; points out that the role of the decentralised agencies is to help the Commission implement Union policies on behalf of the Union itself; calls on the Commission and the Union Agencies Network (the ‘Network’) to improve their communication policies to ensure agencies communicate effectively with citizens, in order to raise awareness of productivity and achievements;
Europaparlamentet noterar från myndigheten att vid sidan av de etiska riktlinjerna som redan har trätt i kraft och gäller för hela dess personal har myndigheten också börjat utveckla ytterligare policyer för oberoende och beslutsprocesser i samband med intresseförklaringar.
Acknowledges the role of the agencies in supporting Union policies; calls for the broader use of this expertise and capacity in the relevant stages of the European Semester policy process; emphasises the contribution of the agencies in working towards the targets of the Europe 2020 Strategy;

Parlamentet erfar från myndigheten att meritförteckningarna och intresseförklaringarna för förvaltningsstyrelsens och tillsynsstyrelsens ledamöter, och intresseförklaringarna för ordföranden, den verkställande direktören och alla personer i den högsta ledningen, offentliggjorts på myndighetens webbplats.
Considers that the discussion of the draft annual work programmes and the multiannual strategies of the agencies in the committees responsible helps to ensure that the programmes and strategies reflect the actual political priorities;
Parlamentet noterar att intresseförklaringarna har offentliggjorts på myndighetens webbplats.
Notes from the Court of Auditors' summary of the results of its 2013 annual audits of the European Agencies and other bodies (the ‘Court's summary’) that the agencies' 2013 budget amounted to some EUR 2 billion, representing an increase of 25 % compared to 2012 and about 1,4 % of the Union's general budget; notes that this increase mainly results from the newly established agencies and new responsibilities for some agencies; observes from the Court's summary that the agencies employ around 6500 permanent and temporary officials representing 14 % of the total number of Union officials authorised under the general Union budget; notes furthermore that around 2900 contract or seconded staff are working for the agencies;
Europaparlamentet välkomnar att myndighetens tillsynsstyrelse den 3 februari 2015 antog en policy om oberoende och beslutsprocesser och begär att solida resultat ska kunna visas upp efter det att denna policy genomförts i vederbörlig ordning.
Reminds that the reputational risk related to the agencies is high for the Union, as they have significant influence on policy and decision making and programme implementation in areas of vital importance to the Union citizens;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar att myndighetens förvaltningsstyrelse består av sex ledamöter som väljs från och av dess tillsynsstyrelses ledamöter.
Notes that the principle of ‘value for money’ also holds for agencies and that they should demonstrate that their performance is effective, ensuring that the citizens are well informed of the results of the agencies' activities; requests the Network to keep the discharge authority closely informed of the use and added value of the common set of principles and handbooks on performance measurement systems and frameworks, multi-annual and annual programming documents, key performance indicators, reporting and evaluating tools;
Parlamentet noterar vidare att förvaltningsstyrelsens ledamöter valdes vid tillsynsstyrelsens sammanträde den 1 juli 2013 i enlighet med tillsynsstyrelsens reviderade arbetsordning.
Common approach and Commission's Roadmap
Europaparlamentet noterar att kommissionens tjänst för internrevision (IAS) genomförde en begränsad granskning av genomförandet av normerna för internkontroll.
Recalls that in July 2012, Parliament, the Council and the Commission adopted a Common Approach on decentralised agencies (the ‘Common Approach’), a political agreement concerning the future management and reform of the agencies; takes note that the Commission is responsible for the follow-up to this agreement;
Parlamentet noterar bekymrat att IAS under riskanalysens gång fastställde vissa förfaranden som präglades av hög inneboende risk och som inte kunde anses vara kontrollerbara inom ramen för revisionsplanen eftersom kontroller saknades eller var otillräckliga.
Welcomes the Commission's ‘Roadmap on the follow-up to the Common Approach on EU decentralised agencies’ (the ‘Roadmap’) set out in December 2012 and invites all involved parties to continue their progress made in implementing the ideas expressed therein; acknowledges that the Commission set out in its Roadmap a detailed plan of how to perform the follow-up to the Common Approach and listed 90 issues for which action was needed from all actors involved;
Europaparlamentet noterar att det i IAS-rapporten gjordes 14 rekommendationer, av vilka två klassificerades som ”mycket viktiga”.
Acknowledges the Commission's progress report on the implementation of the Common Approach, its agenda for 2013 and beyond, as well as the efforts made jointly by the Commission and the decentralised agencies which resulted in demonstrable progress; welcomes in this regard the clarification of the modalities and roles of agencies' internal control functions and internal audit services in the revised Framework Financial Regulation [6] (FFR), as well as the guidelines for agencies' anti-fraud strategies elaborated upon by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF);
Parlamentet noterar att myndigheten infört en handlingsplan för att ta itu med områden där IAS har gjort rekommendationer för förbättringar.
Acknowledges from the Network that the agencies have advanced well in terms of implementation of the actions foreseen in the Common Approach; acknowledges furthermore that, according to the survey that the Network launched among agencies subject to the Roadmap, the completion rate of the agency-relevant roadmap actions is 96 %;
Parlamentet noterar vidare att myndighetens korrigerande åtgärder för att ta itu med dessa högriskområden kommer att följas upp av IAS under nästa grundliga riskbedömning.
Takes note that the Commission services developed standard provisions which include appropriate legal provisions to reflect the principles agreed upon in the Common Approach, as well as other provisions usually part of the agencies' founding acts; acknowledges that these standard provisions are used as a reference point when new agencies are created or when existing founding acts are revised;
Europaparlamentet noterar att IAS under 2013 gjorde en skrivbordsbaserad uppföljning av genomförandet av dess tidigare rekommendationer.
Notes that on the basis of the agencies' contribution, the Commission elaborated guidelines with standard provisions for headquarter agreements between decentralised agencies and host Member States; notes with concern that 10 agencies still do not have a headquarter agreement; exhorts these agencies to tackle the issue of headquarter agreements effectively and as a priority in order to increase efficiency and save costs; expresses concern that the lack of headquarter agreements may have serious implications for the staff of the agencies and calls on the Member States to complete the agreements before the start of the next discharge procedure;
Parlamentet noterar att IAS ansåg att inga kritiska rekommendationer kvarstod att åtgärda den 31 december 2013.
Considers it necessary to carry out a serious assessment to evaluate the possibility of merging agencies that perform similar tasks, not only to avoid wasting resources but also to create a critical mass that makes the agencies truly effective;
Parlamentet noterar att av de två rekommendationer som IAS ansåg vara ”mycket viktiga” rapporterades en vara genomförd och vänta på uppföljning och den andra vara försenad jämfört med den ursprungliga handlingsplanen.
Ascertains that the Commission improved its service to agencies both in the form of general and specific recommendations by using the information and suggestions provided by the Network; notes that in the context of constrained financial and human resources, these improvements have led to the consideration of possible structural measures to rationalise the functioning of the agencies; notes that these measures already produced results such as sharing services between agencies and encourages agencies to continue these efforts;
Europaparlamentet noterar att IAS under 2014 genomförde en andra begränsad granskning av myndighetens it-projektförvaltning och avgav två rekommendationer som klassificerades som ”mycket viktiga” och två som ”viktiga”.
Reminds that the principle of annuality is one of the three basic accounting principles, together with unity and balance, which are indispensable to ensuring the efficient implementation of the Union budget; notes that decentralised agencies sometimes do not fully comply with that principle; calls on the agencies to minimise the errors in that regard;
Parlamentet erfar från myndigheten att den utarbetade en detaljerad handlingsplan med hållpunkter för att ta itu med dessa rekommendationer och att IAS accepterade och bekräftade rimligheten i dessa.
Notes from the Court's summary that a high level of committed appropriations carried over remains the most frequent issue of the budgetary and financial management and that that issue concerned 24 agencies; acknowledges that a high level of carry-overs is at odds with the budgetary principle of annuality;
Europaparlamentet noterar att myndigheten bedriver ett nära samarbete med Europeiska försäkrings- och tjänstepensionsmyndigheten och Europeiska värdepappers- och marknadsmyndigheten för alla stödfunktioner för att minska de administrativa kostnaderna där detta är möjligt, samt för att utnyttja synergier och utbyta bästa praxis.
Takes note that in seven cases, the Court of Auditors still noted a high level of cancellations of carry-overs from previous years; observes that such carry-overs indicate that the appropriations carried over were made on the basis of over-estimated needs or were otherwise not justified; calls upon the agencies to do everything in their power, especially to implement better budgetary planning processes, to prevent future carry-overs, in particular concentrating on those agencies, that cancelled carry-overs from previous years;
Parlamentet ser fram emot ytterligare insatser från myndigheten för att stärka samarbetet med andra decentraliserade byråer.
Acknowledges that the Commission has adopted the new FFR on 30 September 2013 with a view to simplifying rules applicable to the agencies;
Europaparlamentet påminner om att parlamentet varit en central aktör i samband med insatserna för att skapa ett nytt övergripande europeiskt system för finansiell tillsyn (ESFS) efter finanskrisen, och i arbetet med att – som en del av detta system – inrätta myndigheten 2011.
Notes that in order to ensure better consistency and comparability between documents produced by the agencies, the Commission is working together with them on guidelines for the programming document, consisting of an annual and a multiannual component, as well as on a template for consolidated annual activity reports (AARs) adapted to the requirements set by the FFR;
Europaparlamentet noterar kommissionens konstaterande i den nyligen framlagda rapporten om verksamheten i de europeiska tillsynsmyndigheterna (ESA-myndigheterna) och Europeiska systemet för finansiell tillsyn (ESFS), att ESA-myndigheterna, trots svåra omständigheter, snabbt har upprättat väl fungerande organisationer, som på det hela taget har uppnått goda resultat med tanke på deras breda arbetsfält, samtidigt som de har att hantera ökande krav med begränsade personalresurser.
Notes that the FFR provides for a consolidated AAR to be sent by 1 July each year to the Commission, the Court of Auditors and the discharge authority which combines information from the AAR, internal and external audit reports as well as financial reports as required by the previous framework financial regulation; notes that the discharge reports remain separate due to their specific nature and addressees of the provisional accounts;
Europaparlamentet betonar att myndighetens roll i arbetet med att främja en gemensam tillsynordning för hela den inre marknaden är av största vikt för att trygga en mer integrerad, mer effektiv och säkrare banksektor i EU, och därmed bidra till ekonomisk återhämtning, skapande av sysselsättning och tillväxt i Europa och förebyggande av framtida kriser inom finanssektorn.
Regrets the fact that in the case of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology and Frontex, the Court of Auditors still had to issue qualified opinions on the legality and regularity of the transactions underlying their accounts; is concerned by the still high number (97) of comments by the Court of Auditors affecting 35 agencies; urges the Network to see to it that the agencies concerned take all necessary measures to follow up on the Court's observations;
Parlamentet begär att myndigheten ska samordnas med Europeiska centralbanken med avseende på dess banktillsynsuppgifter för att undvika överlappning och överflödig kapacitet.
Cooperation among agencies — shared services and synergies
Europaparlamentet uppmärksammar revisionsrättens särskilda rapport nr 5/2014 och de brister som påtalats i den rapporten när det gäller hur de nya arrangemangen för gränsöverskridande tillsyn fungerar, bedömningen av de europeiska bankernas motståndskraft och främjandet av konsumentskyddet.
Expresses its doubts about the geographical locations of agencies, many of which are located far away from the other European institutions; is of the opinion that for the protection of the independence of the agencies geographical distance is not necessary, nor is it in itself a safeguard against undesirable interferences from either the Commission or Member States, but in all cases it brings with it additional travel costs, and it makes it more difficult to benefit from synergies, such as more centralised administrative and financial services shared by all or a number of agencies;
Parlamentet uppmanar myndigheten, när det gäller de delar av revisionsrättens rekommendationer som inte uteslutande är riktade till kommissionen eller parlamentet och rådet, att vidta lämpliga åtgärder för att åtgärda dessa brister.
Notes that all agencies have examined their internal administrative processes in line with the previous recommendations from the discharge authority; notes furthermore that a number of agencies already have a regular process assessment carried out in accordance with ISO Certification (ISO 9001) as well as audits performed by their quality and internal audit departments; acknowledges that some agencies have contracted the assistance of consultants to undertake an evaluation of their internal administrative processes;
Europaparlamentet noterar revisionsrättens slutsats i den särskilda rapporten nr 5/2014 att myndighetens resurser sammantaget under inledningsfasen var otillräckliga för att den skulle kunna fullgöra sitt mandat.
Welcomes the fact that the FFR provides for the possibility of sharing or transferring services where cost efficiency might be gained; recalls that the agencies already seek synergies, exchange best practices and share services for their efficient operation and in order to make the most of their resources; acknowledges the evolution of the agencies' cooperation amongst themselves which will intensify further in the coming years and enable them to continue to deliver on their objectives; notes that 82 % of the agencies have signed a memorandum of understanding with other agencies; calls on the agencies to continue to expand their already well-established cooperation and shared services; invites the agencies to proactively seek further collaboration amongst each other in order to enhance efficiency and efficacy of their work;
Parlamentet inser att ESFS fortfarande befinner sig i en uppbyggnadsfas, och betonar att de uppgifter som redan anförtrotts myndigheten, liksom framtida uppgifter som planeras inom ramen för det pågående lagstiftningsarbetet, kräver en tillräckligt stor personalstyrka och budget för att en tillfredsställande tillsyn ska bli möjlig.
Acknowledges from the agencies that an online communication tool was created which serves as a platform for the exchange of information, knowledge and best practices among the agencies and includes a database of shared services in various areas and references to new initiatives; takes note that the cooperation between the agencies continuously increases in their respective specialised areas and that, in the near future, 65 % of the agencies expect to conclude new initiatives and sign new memorandums of understanding with other agencies;
Parlamentet betonar att behovet att kombinera kompletterande uppgifter med kompletterande resurser alltid måste övervägas noggrant.
