"I voted in favour of this report and endorsed the European Parliament’s decision to grant discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Railway Agency for the financial year 2009. The Court of Auditors informed the European Parliament that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the Agency’s annual accounts for the financial year 2009 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular. I agree with the rapporteur that using two locations (Lille and Valenciennes) for carrying out its activities exposes the Agency to additional costs. I therefore believe that action must be taken by the Council to change the decision obliging the Agency to have a double seat. I believe that the Agency should set out a comparison of operations carried out during the year for which discharge is to be granted and in the previous financial year so as to enable the European Parliament to assess the Agency’s performance from one year to the next more effectively. I congratulate the Agency, following the Court of Auditors’ comments, on implementing a centralised system for registration of incoming invoices. This measure is necessary to ensure the timely recording of all invoices and contributes to avoiding delays in processing payments. I welcome the Agency’s initiative to set up an Internal Audit Capability that is dedicated to providing support and advice to its Director and management on internal control, risk assessment and internal audit."@en1
