Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Highlights as a matter of particular concern that the Court issued a qualified opinion on Joint Undertaking's payments related to projects taken over from its legal predecessors Artemis and ENIAC joint undertakings and invites the Court to reconsider the methodology that results in repetitive qualified opinions based on this reoccurring issue that cannot be solved until the FP 7 projects are terminated; notes that the payments made for those projects by the ECSEL Joint Undertaking in 2016, against certificates of acceptance of costs issued by the NFAs of the Participating States, amounted to EUR 118 000 000, which represents 54 % of the total operational payments made by the Joint Undertaking in 2016; notes that the NFAs compiled 'declarations of assurance' on the 2016 expenditure as received on 22 January 2018 from Joint Undertaking; which cover 98 % of the participation fees from the participating Member States for the 2016 Seventh Framework Programme expenditure;
Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Notes that the Joint Undertaking has adopted rules on the prevention and management of conflicts of interests to mitigate the risks related to its governance structure; notes, however, that in 2016 the Joint Undertaking did not apply those rules consistently; observes with dismay that the internal register of declarations of conflicts of interest was not managed in line with internal guidelines and was not regularly updated; acknowledges the fact that the minutes of board meetings record all conflicts of interest declared by a delegate: these are baseline documents used to fill in the register;
