Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the findings of the Court of Auditors confirming that the level of error has continued to decrease, given that the error rate fell from 2.5% in 2016 to 2.4% in 2017 in the ‘Natural resources’ area and its financial impact is reduced further by financial corrections and recoveries, since amounts wrongly paid come back to the budget; notes that agricultural and rural development policies account for 98% of spending in this area and that, in its report, the Court of Auditors used a sample totalling 230 transactions in 21 Member States; expects the error rate to keep decreasing further as beneficiaries complete their adjustment to the new rules of the ongoing CAP period;
