The Committee on Budgetary Control would like to grant the European Commission discharge for its financial management over the 2006 budget year. I do not support that decision, as I feel that postponing the discharge decision until autumn would be a better idea.
The European Commission is trying to rectify the large number of errors in relation to the structural funds. In addition, the European Parliament would also like to follow up on the proposed items for action in a working group. It remains to be seen, however, whether the actions will have the desired effect. After all, the number of errors in relation to the structural funds has been too high for many years now.
The practicalities with regard to the structural funds are unmanageable: errors arise as a result of excessive and widely varying rules for recipients of subsidies. The rules are an element of the legislation that applies until 2013. More focused and stringent auditing must address the problems at this point. By postponing discharge, Parliament would consider the results more thoroughly and would keep up the pressure.
In addition, Parliament can encourage the Member States to make more of an effort in relation to the national management declarations, in which the Minister is responsible for investing EU funds into the Member State.
Finally, I am calling for a suitable solution to be found with regard to the position of assistants, so that there are no problems with regard to their social obligations and tax payments."@en1
