Considers the responsibilities of the Union Special Representatives to be very unclear and lacking proper monitoring and performance analysis; suggests that they are integrated into the EEAS in order to bridge this gap;
Parlamentet noterar att revisionsuppdragen täckte in ca 96 % respektive 99 % av de sammanlagda anslagen.
Recalls the importance of transferring the Union Special Representatives budget from the operational Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) to the EEAS budget to better support the integration into the EEAS;
Parlamentet anser att kommissionen under en programperiod bör granska alla operativa program minst en gång.
Notes the developments made in the area of human resources yet agrees with the Court of Auditors' observations that the thematic expertise in the Delegations is needed; expresses its concern that Union Delegations are lacking staff in their political sections and for the operational planning and implementation of Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) missions; notes also that there are practical difficulties for the Union Delegations to receive and deal with intelligence reporting; invites the Commission, together with the EEAS, to put a concerted approach in place to optimise the profile of Delegation staff;
Europaparlamentet välkomnar kommissionens praxis att avbryta och ställa in betalningar när felen överskrider väsentlighetsgränsen på 2 %.
Notes that the EEAS continues to dedicate insufficient resources to the external aspects of internal policies and that it lacks the personnel needed to provide proper input on the programming of the financial instruments, thus undermining the coherence of the Union's external action;
Parlamentet anser att dessa är användbara instrument för att skydda unionens finansiella intressen och är övertygat om att kommissionen borde koncentrera sina egna revisionsinsatser på ”dåliga prestationer”.
Believes that in this time of crisis and the general cutting of budgets, the costs of ‘away days’ for staff of the Union institutions should be reduced and that these should be held, wherever possible, on the premises of the institutions, since the added value derived from ‘away days’ does not justify such high costs;
Europaparlamentet anser att medlemsstaterna bör ge kommissionen tillräckligt detaljerad information om sina revisioner.
Invites the EEAS to get a better overview on the costs incurred in recruitment procedures; calls on the EEAS to use innovative solutions like videoconferencing for job interviews and to come up with similar proposals for the training of staff as much as possible;
Europaparlamentet stöder revisionsrättens rekommendation att kommissionen bör vidta lämpliga åtgärder så att revisionsmyndigheterna kan förlita sig på en stabil och bindande metodram som garanterar att unionens utgifter i alla medlemsstater kontrolleras utifrån samma standarder och att resultaten rapporteras korrekt.

Encourages the Commission and the Member States to take measures to promote better coordination and cooperation between their external relations services and the EEAS without disregarding the horizontal thematic issues;
Parlamentet betonar dock att det kommer att bero på flera olika faktorer om det nya instrumentet kommer att leda till fler nettokorrigeringar och därmed till en lägre felprocent inom sammanhållningspolitiken.
Underlines that significant cost savings can be made by better cooperation between Member States in terms of their foreign and security policy and by proactively identifying joint efforts the EEAS can gradually take over in order for the Union to be both a stronger and more efficient global player;
Europaparlamentet uppmanar revisionsrätten och kommissionen att utveckla ett revisionsinstrument som dels registrerar årliga fel och oriktigheter och dels tar hänsyn till finansiella korrigeringar under programperioden.
Emphasises that working practices to ensure cooperation with DG for Development and Cooperation (DEVCO) and to support thematic divisions (such as the Directorate for Conflict Prevention and Security Policy) should be further developed;
Europaparlamentet välkomnar att kommissionen i september 2013 aktualiserade färdplanen för genomförande och övervakning av korrekt genomförande av principen om samordnad granskning.
Stresses that thematic divisions should be involved in programming during all stages to avoid that conflict prevention, peace building, gender and human rights are last-minute add-ons;
Om de nationella myndigheterna följer denna princip ska den status som medför samordnad granskning kunna beviljas.
Takes the view that current Union foreign policy continues to be very much influenced by the foreign policies of particular Member States; emphasises that the policy of sidelining countries with specific expertise on some of the ongoing conflicts, specifically the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, dominates the results of Union foreign policy; invites the EEAS to consistently monitor this and take into account the possible effect that the foreign policy of particular Member States has on Union foreign policy;
Parlamentet vill ha ett exemplar av detta dokument.
Stresses the importance of recognising and supporting the hard work of detached civilian staff and military personnel in the most unstable and dangerous parts of the world where the Union must also be represented and conduct its work; considers it essential, therefore, that those staff who live and work under severe pressure, in terms of both safety and mobility, family unity/disjunction and cultural and social factors, enjoy the highest levels of protection and security and a sufficient degree of flexibility; advocates an increase in the budget earmarked for the security costs of the delegations concerned; considers that it would be very useful to have comparative statistics for EEAS staff and Member State external action staff working in those situations;
Europaparlamentet har förståelse för att utgiftskontroller kan anses utgöra en administrativ börda.
Insists on the need for simplification of the budget scheme for supporting Delegations; emphasises the difficult situation faced by the Delegations with the fewest members of staff as a result of the complex and rigid rules governing the delegation of payment authorisations between EEAS and Commission staff; calls on the EEAS and the Commission to consider how the procedure for authorising funds might be made easier while ensuring that financial control rules are complied with;
Parlamentet anser att redovisningsskyldigheten inte får avskräcka potentiella förmånstagare från att ansöka om ekonomiskt stöd.
Stresses that the financial regulations, as currently applied to the Union Delegations, continue to impose a heavy administrative burden on the Head of Delegation, which distracts from the Head of Delegation's primary responsibility of political work; urges the EEAS and the Commission to find a solution to this issue, which could entail a change to the financial regulations, provided that this does not also entail a reduction in the quality and rigour of the Delegations' financial management; notes also the continuing use of budget lines from both EEAS and Commission budget for administrative expenditure, which unnecessarily complicates financial circuits;
Del V
Points out that Union staff in Delegations and Union staff on CFSP missions in the same localities are treated differently as regards days off, flights, allowances and other benefits; calls for a detailed comparison of payments and benefits for Union Delegation staff and Union staff on CFSP missions in Mogadishu (Somalia) and Bangui (Central African Republic) as of 1 January 2014, for example, and insists that reasons be given where treatment differs;
Revisionsrättens särskilda rapport nr 17/2013 ”EU:s klimatfinansiering inom ramen för bistånd till tredjeland”
Emphasises the need to ensure greater flexibility in the funding of CSDP missions to guarantee the internal and external security of the Union due to the danger posed by conflicts in countries which border it, as well as the heightened risk of possible terrorist activities;
Europaparlamentet välkomnar den särskilda rapporten som granskar unionens klimatfinansiering inom ramen för det externa biståndet och ser det som ett viktigt bidrag till den allmänna politiska och budgetrelaterade debatten om unionens klimatpolitik och klimatdiplomati.
Stresses the vital importance of setting-up a Shared Services Centre (SSC) that would result in important cost savings by providing centralised logistical, procurement and administrative support to the CSDP missions and to the Union Special Representatives and their offices; deplores the long delay in setting up the centre and urges all stakeholders involved to strive to reach as a matter of urgency an agreement on an ambitious SSC, capable of efficiently supporting missions, especially at their start-up, of standardising work processes and of delivering faster and more cost-effective procurement;
Parlamentet noterar iakttagelserna, slutsatserna och rekommendationerna och presenterar sina synpunkter och rekommendationer nedan.
Urges the EEAS to maximise the benefits of economies of scale by creating new synergies within the EEAS Headquarters and Delegations, as well as in cooperation with Member States and national diplomatic services in the spirit of a true Union external policy and services; notes with satisfaction that the colocation of Union Delegations and Member State diplomatic representations is increasing, even if it continues to be limited; asks the EEAS to continue to seek for ways to further increase colocation;
Europaparlamentet välkomnar rapportens slutsatser som visar att kommissionen har skött unionens klimatrelaterade utgifter från EU-budgeten och Europeiska utvecklingsfonden (EUF) väl.
Demands that the building policy of the EEAS be attached to the annual activity report, especially given that it is important that the costs of such a policy are properly rationalised and that such costs are not excessive;
Europaparlamentet välkomnar också det arbete som kommissionen och medlemsstaterna inlett om en gemensam EU-standard för att övervaka, rapportera och kontrollera offentlig klimatfinansiering.
Urges the EEAS to provide the discharge authority with the list of building contracts concluded in 2013, including the details of the contracts, the country where the contract is entered in and the length of the contract, as it was done in the 2011 EEAS annual activity report and asks the EEAS to provide the same details of building contracts in its 2014 annual activity report;
Europaparlamentet upprepar sin ståndpunkt som revisionsrätten noterat i sin särskilda rapport, enligt vilken klimatfinansiering bör ligga utanför målet på 0,7 %.

Parlamentet beklagar att man inte tagit fasta på detta koncept i förhandlingarna om finansieringsinstrumentet för utvecklingssamarbete
Calls on the Court of Auditors to include in its next annual report a review of the follow-up by the EEAS of Parliament's recommendations in this resolution.
Europaparlamentet påpekar dock att kommissionen behöver utöva ett tillräckligt ledarskap för att maximera sin internationella genomslagskraft och konsolidera verktygen för att utforma villkoren för unionens klimatdiplomati/gröna diplomati under kommande år, i synnerhet för att leverera de klimatrelaterade riktmärkena inom finansieringsinstrumentet för utvecklingssamarbete som antogs i december 2013, där det sägs att kommissionen bör ”bidra till målet att minst 20 % av unionens budget ska gå till insatser för ett koldioxidsnålt och klimattåligt samhälle, och minst 25 % av medlen inom det program för globala allmänna nyttigheter och utmaningar som föreskrivs i denna förordning bör användas till klimatförändring och miljö” (skäl 20 i förordningen om finansieringsinstrumentet för utvecklingssamarbete).
with observations forming an integral part of the decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2013, Section IV — Court of Justice
Parlamentet påpekar att i bilaga IV till förordningen om finansieringsinstrumentet för utvecklingssamarbete specificeras det också att 27 % av medlen i detta program ska anslås till miljö- och klimatförändringar och att 50 % av programmet ska gå till klimatåtgärder och miljömål.
having regard to its decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2013, Section IV — Court of Justice,
Europaparlamentet välkomnar att sedan 2011 har ett åtagande att förbättra EU:s gemensamma programplanering gjorts i cirka 40 länder.
having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control (A8-0111/2015),
Parlamentet påpekar dock att samordningen mellan kommissionen och medlemsstaterna när det gäller klimatfinansieringen för utvecklingsländerna fortfarande behöver förbättras avsevärt så att inte bara 2020-åtagandena uppnås, utan även så att unionen kan förbli en föregångare när det gäller klimatåtgärder och bekämpning av korruption i utvecklingsländer.
Notes with satisfaction that in its 2013 annual report, the Court of Auditors observed that no significant weaknesses had been identified in respect of the audited topics relating to human resources and procurement for the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘Court of Justice’);
Europaparlamentet upprepar parlamentets stöd till en gemensam programplanering och dess erkännande av det betydande framsteg som gjorts på detta område.
Welcomes the fact that, on the basis of its audit work, the Court of Auditors concluded that the payments as a whole for the year ended on 31 December 2013 for administrative and other expenditure of the institutions and bodies were free from material error;
Parlamentet ser fram emot att höras på nytt, såsom utlovats av kommissionen, om en sådan programplanering leder till förändringar av programplaneringen inom ramen för instrumentet för utvecklingsbistånd.
Notes that in 2013, the Court of Justice had appropriations amounting to EUR 354880000 (EUR 348300000 in 2012) and that the implementation rate was 96,3 %; regrets the decrease of the utilisation rate in 2013 when compared to that of 98,6 % in 2012;
Europaparlamentet noterar förklaringarna om svårigheterna med spårning och rapportering på grund av varierande rapporteringspraxis i olika medlemsstater, som kommissionen ger i redovisningsrapporten om utvecklingsfinansiering, publicerad den 3 juli 2014 i form av ett arbetsdokument från kommissionens avdelningar, inbegripet ett avsnitt i volym I om klimatfinansiering som ger information om unionens klimatfinansiering.
Takes note that the lower implementation rate can be attributed to the fact that the initial appropriations for 2013 had included a proposed adjustment to salaries and pensions, totalling almost EUR 6000000, whereas no adjustment was ultimately granted by the Council; points out that the reasons behind the unexpected ruling on the salary adjustment are no longer applicable following the agreement on the new Staff Regulation in 2014;
Parlamentet noterar att beloppet 7,3 miljarder euro i snabbstartsfinansiering som unionen och medlemsstaterna tillhandahållit upprepas i rapporten, och begär bestämt ytterligare förbättringar i rapporteringen om effekterna och resultatet av utvecklingsstödet.
Stresses, however, that the Court of Justice's budget is purely administrative, with a large amount being used on expenditure concerning persons working within the institution; takes note of the justification for the decrease in the utilisation rate stated in the Court of Justice's annual activity report for the 2013 financial year;
Framtida utveckling
Notes that the Court of Justice completed 701 cases in 2013 (595 completed cases in 2012), had 699 new cases brought before it (632 in 2012), including 450 appeals and references for preliminary ruling; endorses the positive statistical results and finds that despite the good outcome, there is still margin for improvement;

Takes note that in 2013 the General Court received 790 new cases, had 702 cases dealt with and 1325 cases pending, constituting a general increase in the number of proceedings when compared to 2012; notes also that the duration of proceedings has slightly decreased; points out that the creation of a ninth chamber did not contribute in 2013 to an increase in the General Court's efficiency yet notwithstanding this, reiterates its position that the General Court needs reinforcement in the area of human resources;
Europaparlamentet anser att kommissionen och Europeiska utrikestjänsten bör stärka sin kommunikationspolicy både när det gäller det stöd som ges globalt eller till enskilda mottagarländer och för att sprida unionens värderingar.
Notes that in 2013, the Civil Service Tribunal completed 184 cases, as against 121 in 2012 (i.e. an increase of 52 %), thus reducing the number of pending cases by 24 (i.e. a decrease of its backlog by 11 %); believes that the elimination of the Civil Service Tribunal is an inadequate solution to face the Council's long lasting blockage;
Europaparlamentet inser att korruption förblir ett betydande hinder för en effektiv klimatfinansiering och uppmanar kommissionen att öka sina ansträngningar när det gäller att arbeta med utvecklingspartner i antikorruptionsfrågor.
Considers that there is still a margin for improvement within the existing resources at the disposal of the Court of Justice; stresses that the internal reforms implemented in 2013, namely the creation of a new chamber in the General Court and the new Advocate General, as well as the reform of the Rules of Procedure governing the operation of the Court of Justice, particularly in the areas of languages and the use of technology, and other supplementary rules, have contributed to positive changes in the system that have enabled progress to be made in optimising resources; encourages the Court of Justice to continue with this approach;

Europaparlamentet begär att kommissionen gör en oberoende utvärdering av den globala klimatförändringsalliansen, bland annat en undersökning om varför de flesta medlemsstaterna väljer att inte medfinansiera den.
Recalls that in its response to the discharge resolution 2012 the Court of Justice indicates that holding more hearings and issuing more judgments would not increase productivity significantly; points out that on the other hand, the Court of Justice asked to increase the number of judges; urges the Court of Justice to request an external peer review in order to be provided with external instruments to identify possible solutions to the problems raised by the Court of Justice;
Europaparlamentet uppmanar kommissionen och Europeiska utrikestjänsten att rapportera i vilken omfattning unionens mål att använda 20 % av EU-budgeten och EUF-medlen mellan 2014 och 2020 till klimatrelaterade åtgärder genomförs inom ramen för utvecklingsbiståndet, och specificera vilka åtaganden de har ingått och vad de har betalat ut.
