Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 166 a (new)
166a. Notes that last year an old OLAF Report (OF 2003/0526) from 2003 on allegations of misapplication of funds to Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camp was disclosed upon request by a private party showing that: 1) the Commission suspended the funding in 2003, assessed together with OLAF the number of refugees and adapted the funding to the Tindouf camp according to the new needs. 2) As a result of the new assessment done by the Commission and OLAF, the UN took the new figures of refugees as reference 3) OLAF concluded that the amount of financial damage caused to the European Union budget could not precisely be determined; 4) OLAF closed the report in 2007 as no evidence was found which would have led to any judicial or administrative proceedings.
