"I abstained from the vote on this document, although the Committee responsible decided to approve the closure of the accounts of the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (FRONTEX) for the financial year 2009. 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. I abstained because the European Parliament is concerned that the Court of Auditors has reported carry-overs which were already reported in its 2006, 2007 and 2008 annual reports, and regrets, in particular, the high level of carry-overs and cancellations since 2006. The Court of Auditors also reported, for the second year running, that the Agency paid out amounts on the basis of unilateral grant decisions signed by the Agency, while the rules in force make no provision for this type of instrument. The Court of Auditors reported the overstatement by 27 % of the costs for pre-financing to border authorities in the 8 cases audited. For the activities which ended in 2009, more than 40 recovery orders had to be issued to recover advances made in excess. The Agency’s budget for the year 2009 was nearly 28% greater than the previous year. I believe that the observations made and concern expressed must be taken into account and appropriate action taken."@en1
