Amendments (3)
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Points out that carryovers are often partly or fully justified by the multiannual nature of the agencies’ operational programmes and do not necessarily indicate weaknesses in budget planning and implementation nor are they always at odds with the budgetary principle of annuality, in particular if they are planned in advance and communicated to the Court; calls for the continued reduction as far as possible in the level of committed appropriations to be carried over to the following year by means of all available measures, for example by adopting best practices used in other agencies;
Amendment 12 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Notes that the Agency published the declarations of absence of conflicts of interests and the CVs of their respective management board members on its website; points out however that some of the CVs are still missing or show inconsistencies; notes moreover that the Agency has put in place a policy on the prevention and management of conflicts of interest which takes into account its external staff members, interim staff and second national expert; notes, however, that the Agency did not foresee any checks of the factual correctness or a process for updating the declarations of interest; notes that the Agency set up and implemented internal rules on whistleblowing; regrets that some declarations of conflicts of interest of various management board members are pending or contain irregularities; notes that this practice does not further transparency and the remaining declarations should therefore be published without delay;
Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Notes with concern that the Agency has not taken specific initiatives in order to increase transparency relating to its contacts with stakeholders and lobbyists; calls on the Agency to take immediate steps to examine possible conflicts of interest so as better to comply with transparency and accountability requirements;
