5. Notes with concern that the estimated error level in the area of ‘Competitiveness for growth and jobs’ is 4,2 % - which represents a slight increase compared to 2016 (4.1%) and that most of the errors were related to the reimbursement of ineligible personnel and other direct costs declared by beneficiaries of research projects, as well as ineligible projects/beneficiaries; stresses the need to take effective measures to reduce those sources of error while achieving a high performance; deplores the fact that, as it was the case in previous years, Member States had sufficient information available to prevent, or to detect and correct, a significant number of errors: had the Commission and the Member States made proper use of all information at itstheir disposal, the estimated level of error for this chapter would have been 1,5 percentage points lower;
