"I voted in favour of discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Railway Agency for the financial year 2010. The agency helps integrate railway systems in Europe by reinforcing the safety of rail transport and providing the opportunity to cross EU Member States’ borders without stopping. The agency cooperates with the rail sector, national authorities, EU institutions and other bodies on drafting technical standards, as well as common, cost-effective safety measures and objectives. The agency also issues reports on railway safety in the EU and coordinates the efforts aimed at devising standard signalling regulations throughout Europe. Achieving the most cost-effective use of budget funds is of paramount importance during the current financial crisis. We urge the Commission and agency to examine and define the real budgetary requirements for carrying out the tasks under the agency’s remit. We should mention that the agency has already carried over a substantial amount of funds from the 2008 and 2009 financial years to the following year. We think that these serious breaches of the budgetary principle of annuality are no longer acceptable in future and that, if the relevant budgetary principle is breached again, discharge should not be granted next time. With this in mind, we call on the agency to take the necessary corrective action forthwith."@en1
