A. whereas the ENIAC Joint Undertaking (‘the Joint Undertaking’) was set up on 20 December 2007 for a period of 10 years to define and implement a ‘research agenda’ for the development of key competences for nanoelectronics across different application areas;
Parlamentet noterar vidare att styrelseledamöterna och stödkontorets verkställande direktör har undertecknat intressekonfliktförklaringar i enlighet med den policyn.
B. whereas the Joint Undertaking was granted its financial autonomy in July 2010;
Europaparlamentet noterar bekymrat att av det sammanlagda antalet betalningar gjordes 18 % efter de tidsgränser som anges i budgetförordningen.

Parlamentet noterar utifrån uppgifter från stödkontoret att antalet sena betalningar visserligen minskade i mitten av 2013, men att de ökade igen under det sista kvartalet 2013 till följd av en betydande ökning av arbetsbelastningen vid årets slut.

Notes that the Court of Auditors (‘the Court’), in its report on the Joint Undertaking's annual accounts for the financial year 2013 (‘the Court's report’), stated that the Joint Undertaking's annual accounts present fairly, in all material respects, its financial position as of 31 December 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year-end, in accordance with the provisions of its Financial Rules and the accounting rules adopted by the Commission's Accounting Officer;
Europaparlamentet noterar att stödkontoret i mars 2013 gjorde en egen utvärdering av hur internkontrollerna hade genomförts, och därmed visade att det var fast beslutet att utforma och införa en korrekt internkontrollmiljö.
Is deeply concerned that the Court issued a qualified opinion, for a third consecutive year, on the legality and regularity of the transactions underlying the annual accounts, on the grounds of not being able to conclude whether or not the ex post audit strategy, which relies heavily on the National Funding Authorities (NFAs) auditing project cost claims, provides sufficient assurance with respect to the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions; considers that the qualified opinion put into question the willingness of the Joint Undertaking to be effective and efficient according to the principle of ‘value for money’; urges therefore the Joint Undertaking to report to the discharge authority on its strategy to change swiftly those current practices;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar utifrån revisionsrättens rapport att sex av de 16 normerna för internkontroll inte till fullo har genomförts.
Notes that the Court considers the information available on the implementation of the Joint Undertaking's ex post audit strategy as insufficient for it to conclude whether this key control tool is functioning effectively; reiterates its call for the Court, through its independent audits, to provide the discharge authority with its own opinion on the legality and the regularity of the transactions underlying the Joint Undertaking's annual accounts;
Parlamentet konstaterar vidare att dessa sex normer för internkontroll är på väg att genomföras och uppmanar stödkontoret att rapportera resultatet till den ansvarsfrihetsbeviljande myndigheten.
Recalls that the Joint Undertaking adopted an ex post audit strategy in 2010 and that its implementation started in 2011; notes that the audit of project cost claims has been delegated to the NFAs of the Member States; takes note that the Joint Undertaking's ex post audit strategy relies on the NFAs to audit project cost claims;

D. Myndighetens uppgift är att bidra till upprättandet av gemensamma standarder och metoder av hög kvalitet för reglering och tillsyn och till en konsekvent tillämpning av rättsligt bindande unionsakter, att stimulera och underlätta delegering av uppgifter och ansvar till olika behöriga myndigheter, att övervaka och bedöma marknadens utveckling inom sitt behörighetsområde och att främja skyddet av insättare och investerare.
