Amendments (3)
Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Acknowledges the fact that the Foundation was committed to increasing the number of declarations of interest and CVs available on its website and that it aimed to collect declarations from all board members as the new governing board was to be appointed after the expiration of the mandate of the current board in November 2016; notes, however, that some of the governing board’s CVs and declarations of interests are still missing; deplores the fact that the declarations of conflicts of interest of several management board members are pending; notes that this practice does not further transparency and the remaining declarations should therefore be published without delay;
Amendment 15 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Points out that carry-overs are often partly or fully justified by the multiannual nature of the agencies’ operational programmes, do not necessarily indicate weaknesses in budget planning and implementation and are not always at odds with the budgetary principle of annuality, in particular if they are planned in advance and communicated to the Court of Auditors; welcomes the fact that the Foundation, together with the Court, established a procedure which allows a transparent distinction between 'planned' and 'unplanned' carry-overs; asks the Foundation to keep the volume to be carried over to the next year as low as possible;
Amendment 21 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Acknowledges the fact that in 2016 the Foundation was raising awareness of its conflicts of interests and anti-fraud policies among its staff by using specific training offered to all staff members; notes, furthermore, that those training sessions are intended to become standard elements of the induction programme for new staff members; calls on the Foundation to adopt an ethics code and to inform the discharging authority about alleged and confirmed conflicts of interests, how it has dealt with them, and how it will prevent them in the future;
