Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Recalls the European Parliament resolution containing the comments accompanying the decision concerning the discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the 2001 financial year – Section VII – Committee of the Regions1a; stresses that the Committee of the Regions has persistently refused to implement any of the Parliament’s demands with regard to the protection of whistle-blowers in general and its now former Financial Controller in particular; takes note that, on two separate occasions in recent years, the Civil Service Tribunal (CST) has confirmed the findings made by OLAF, the Parliament and the Commission’s PMO that the Committee has persistently behaved in an inappropriate and illegal manner towards its former Financial Controller; criticises strongly, therefore, that the Committee has chosen to totally ignore the Parliament’s demand that the Financial Controller ‘should not suffer any adverse consequences’ as a result of having done his duty in reporting wrongdoing; deplores a fortiori that, since 2004, it has pursued, and even intensified, its war of attrition against him; considers it totally unacceptable that the Committee of the Regions has not yet complied with the judgment of the European Union Civil Service Tribunal dated 7 May 2013; takes note, in view of the above, that the Committee of the Regions is in contempt of both Parliament and the Court of Justice; demands therefore that the Committee comply with the conclusions of the aforementioned judgment and implement forthwith the demands made by the European Parliament in its resolution; demands that the Committee of the Regions fulfil without any further delay its legal, moral and financial obligations towards the former official it has so badly mistreated over the last 12 years at least and provide him with adequate compensation for its ‘illegal’ and ‘inappropriate behaviour’ towards him; __________________ 1a P5_TA(2004)0048.
Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that in 2013, the Committee had an approved budget of EUR 87 373 000 (EUR 86 503 000 in 2012), of which EUR 84 800 000 were commitment appropriations with a utilisation rate of 97%; regretnotes the decrease of the utilisation rate in 2013 when compared to that of 98.2% in 2012 and considers it necessary to ensure in future that there will be no budget increases without proper justification; calls, therefore – barring major changes in the Committee’s operation – for its budget to remain frozen until the annual utilisation rate has risen to at least 99.8%;
