Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Notes the Court of Auditors’ opinion that there is insufficient assurance of the legality and regularity of grant transactions in the area of joint land/sea/air operations, but that, unlike in 2012, the impact was confined to certain areas; applauds, therefore, in that connection, the introduction by Frontex as from June 2013 of a more comprehensive system of ex ante verifications for grant agreements; points out that this risk-based approach focuses on ex ante checks (for example, prior to payment) carried out on supporting documents for 50 to 70% of expenditure incurred by Member States in deploying experts, vessels and aircraft; welcomes the fact that all invoices for expenditure on chartering aircraft for return operations have been verified since 2012;
