"I abstained from the vote on this document, although the Committee responsible decided to approve the closure of the accounts of the European Railway Agency for the financial year 2009. The budget of the Agency for the year 2009 was 16.6% less than its budget for 2008. The Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts for the financial year 2009 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular. It is worrying that concern was expressed over the weaknesses in procurement procedures revealed by the Court of Auditors’ audit – cancellations and delays in procurement procedures, recurrent delays in the execution of payments and significant changes made to the work programme during the year. The Court of Auditors identified shortcomings in the management of the fixed assets’ inventory, but notes the Agency’s assurance that this will be remedied in the 2010 accounts. I feel that uncertainty about the location of fixed assets is another illustration of the problems and additional costs arising from using two sites. This is also the reason for my abstention."@en1
