summary
The European Parliament adopted a decision on discharge to be granted to the Director of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) in respect of the implementation of the Institute’s budget for the financial year 2011. The vote on the decision to grant discharge covers the closure of the accounts (in accordance with Annex VI, Article 5(1) of the European Parliament’s Rules of Procedure). Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the EIGE’s annual accounts for the financial year 2011 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Parliament adopted a resolution containing a number of recommendations that need to be taken into account when the discharge is granted, in addition to the general recommendations that appear in the draft resolution on performance, financial management and control of EU agencies: Financing, budget and financial management: Parliament recalls that the overall budget of the Institute for the financial year 2011 was EUR 7.53 million, which shows a 32.6% increase since 2010, and is entirely financed by the Union’s contribution. Members note that the Institute recorded a positive budget outturn which was then recorded in the accounts as a liability towards the Commission. Implementation rate of appropriations and carryovers: Parliament notes that the Institute registered a budget execution ratio of 44.19% for payments and of 88.54% for commitments at the end of 2011. It also observes that considerable commitment appropriations contracted by the end of 2011 but not yet paid were carried forward to 2012, representing 50% of total commitments. Parliament calls on the Institute to inform the discharge authority of the actions taken to ensure a satisfactory budget execution rate in the future. Lastly, Parliament made a series of observations as regards the Institute’s accounting system, procurement procedures, recruitment procedures, performance and control systems.

However, they make a number of recommendations that need to be taken into account when the discharge is granted, in addition to the general recommendations that appear in the draft resolution on performance, financial management and control of EU agencies: Financing, budget and financial management: the overall budget of the Institute for the financial year 2011 was EUR 7.53 million, which shows a 32.6 % increase since 2010, and is entirely financed by the Union’s contribution.

9 amendments...
Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Recalls the important role of the European Institute for Gender Equality in promoting gender equality and supporting its integration into all Union policies and the resulting national policies, and in the fight against discrimination based on gender, as well as in raising Union citizens' awareness of gender equality; stresses that the objectives and the task of the Institute require that a separate dedicated entity is maintained within the institutional framework; notes, however, that the Institute in many instances duplicates the work of Member States, the work of the Commission's DG Employment and the work of another EU agency: the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, and that its statistics-gathering functions could easily be taken over by the Commission's Eurostat Directorate-General;
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Welcomes the unique initiative, in coordination with the other EU Institutions in Vilnius (the Commission and European Parliament Information Office), to identify and select common premises; notes that the newly established "EU House" proved necessary and will benefit synergies, increase the EU's visibility, cost saving and sharing;
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Notes the comment of the Court of Auditors about the carryover of 50 % of total commitments in 2011; calls on the Institute to make efforts to progressively reduce the carryover with the aim to reach an acceptable level of carryover in order to respect the budgetary principle of annuality; notes that a 50 % carryover suggests that there is a poor work agenda and that this should be urgently re- examined;
Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6. Notes the comment of the Court of Auditors about the need to improve the documentation of physical inventory taking for fixed assets and of the estimation of accrued charges; notes in this regard the Institute's commitment to assure proper management of assets and to improve the estimation of accrual charges; notes, furthermore, that there is a need for a robust approach in the implementation of the work agenda;
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Notes that the Institute in many instances duplicates the work of Member States, the work of the Commission's DG Employment and the work of another EU agency: the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, and its statistics-gathering functions could easily be taken over by the Commission's Eurostat Directorate- General; therefore requires that the Institute's area of competency be clearly defined and that its work guidelines be clearly agreed;
Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 a (new) 7a. Welcomes the Institute's establishment of the Resource and Documentation Centre as a unique European source of institutional and methodological gender equality knowledge;
Amendment 7 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Welcomes the Institute's second ex-ante evaluation report focusing on the Institute's specific objectives and operations asks, however, for clarification on the objectives of the Institute;
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 a (new) 8a. Emphasizes the importance of the Gender Equality Index developed by the Institute as a powerful tool to monitor the progress of gender equality in Europe, based on a unique reality of the EU context;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 a (new) 9a. Supports the work produced by the Institute but where feasible asks that it be given to self-funded third parties;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Observes, from the annual accounts the very low execution ratio of 18,36 % for payments under Title III ‘Operational Expenditure’; notes that this is due to a significant number of procurements which were launched in the last part of 2010 once the Institute became administratively autonomous from June of that year; calls on the Institute to inform the discharge authority of the actions taken since then to improve the ratios as the low execution ratios show difficulties in budget planning and implementation;
Amendment 8 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Notes from the annual accounts that EUR 3 339 551,93 of commitment appropriations contracted by the end of 2011 but not yet paid were carried forward to 2012, which represents 50 % of total commitments; notes, furthermore, that the total amount of carried forward
