6. Fails to understand why the assets received by the European Communities in connection with the Galileo programme were not entered in the annual accounts, given that, according to the ECA's report, the agreements were signed in late 2007 between the European Space Agency, the Galileo Joint Undertaking and the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) Supervisory Authority, which was set up in 2004 and given responsibility for taking over the activities of the former Galileo Joint Undertaking on 1 January 2007; accordingly, calls on the Commission to put forward a proposal concerning the major European projects (Galileo or TENs) which require funding which goes beyond the scope of the multiannual financial framework and which it cannot therefore control;

Amendment 136 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 98 a (new)
98a. Takes note of the concern expressed by the Court of Auditors at the difficulties of taking a definitive and unchangeable snapshot, solely in the annual report, of the changing and progressive reality that is the Cohesion Policy budget, subject to a multiannual and dynamic schedule in which the final percentages of errors and irregularities with consequences, and the real amounts subject to recovery, can be verified only at a much later stage (the Commission has just closed the accounts for the 1994-1999 period); to that end calls on the Commission to present, in addition to the current Action Plan, a proposal in cooperation with the Court of Auditors for solving these phasing difficulties between the multiannual budgetary framework and the annual auditing system; considers that such a proposal would also be useful to ensure there is more efficient control of major European projects such as Galileo;
