"The error range in respect of the use of EU funds within the Cohesion Fund and the energy/transport funds increased by 7.7% in 2010. Deficiencies in the public procurement procedure accounted for a large proportion of this. Common funds that are not used as intended represent a problem. When it comes to the management of common funds, the EU institutions must set a good example themselves, particularly at the current time in view of what financial mismanagement has led to in large parts of Europe. I therefore decided to vote in favour of the postponement of discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Environment Agency for 2010. The rapporteur has indicated a number of areas in which deficiencies have been found: a conflict of interest on the part of the Executive Director which may have had a substantial effect on the agency’s work, the procurement of services that was not carried out correctly and the incorrect use of EU funds. It bears mentioning here that the issue at hand is the postponement of discharge. The European Environment Agency has demonstrated compliance on many points, and the quality of the supporting research reports produced is good. Therefore, an extended deadline is what is needed in order to deal with the irregularities and to provide an explanation for Parliament."@en1
