Details

The European Parliament adopted by 496 to 72, with 44 abstentions, a resolution on the Court of Auditors' special reports in the context of the 2012 Commission discharge.

Parliament recalled that the special reports of the Court of Auditors provide information on issues of concern related to the implementation of funds, which are thus useful for Parliament in exercising its role of discharge authority.

It stated that the observations on the special reports of the Court of Auditors form an integral part of the resolution on discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2012, Section III – Commission.

Parliament then referred to each of the special reports in turn and made a number of recommendations in order to improve the use of Community funds.

To recall, these special reports refer to the following topics:

As regards this report, plenary highlighted the need to limit the use of direct negotiated procedures and encouraged Commission to make the application of competitive tendering procedures mandatory. Plenary also stated that there was need for improvement of the current PEGASE mechanism (Palestinian-European Mechanism for Management of Socio-Economic Aid).
