summary
The European Parliament adopted by 563 votes to 111, 17 abstentions, a decision to grant discharge to the Director of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) for the financial year 2013. The vote on the discharge decision approved the closure of the accounts (in accordance with Annex VI, Article 5(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament). Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts of the Agency for the financial year 2013 are reliable, and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Parliament adopted by 578 votes to 102, with 6 abstentions, a resolution containing a number of recommendations that form an integral part of the discharge decision and as well as the general recommendations that appear in the resolution on performance, financial management and control of EU agencies: Agency’s financial statements: Parliament noted that the final budget of the Centre for the financial year 2013 was EUR 21 348 510, representing an increase of 4.77% compared to 2012. Carry-overs: Parliament noted that budget monitoring efforts during the financial year 2013 resulted in a budget implementation rate of 100%, and that the payment appropriations execution rate was 70.27%. It noted that the high overall level of committed appropriations indicated that commitments were made in a timely manner. Members were concerned, however, that that the level of committed appropriations carried over to 2014 was high at 27 % for administrative expenditure and at 69 % for operating expenditure, due to the purchase of IT goods and services. Parliament also made a series of observations on procurement and recruitment procedures, prevention and conflicts of interest and internal audits. As regards transparency, Parliament reiterated the request to all agencies and joint undertakings to systematically annex a standardised template regarding the publication of their final annual accounts which shall include the data presented in their reports on the implementation of the budget and in their reports on the budgetary and financial management. Lastly, Parliament urged the Agency to harmonise the presentation of its annual accounts with those of other Union Agencies.

summary
The Committee on Budgetary Control adopted the report by Ryszard CZARNECKI (ECR, PL) on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) for the financial year 2013. It called on the European Parliament to grant the Director of the Agency discharge in respect of the implementation of the Agency’s budget for the financial year 2013. Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts of the Agency for the financial year 2013 are reliable, and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Members called on the Parliament to approve the closure of the Agency’s accounts. They made, however, a number of recommendations that needed 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. Agency’s financial statements: Members noted that the final budget of the Centre for the financial year 2013 was EUR 21 348 510, representing an increase of 4.77% compared to 2012. Carry-overs: Members noted that budget monitoring efforts during the financial year 2013 resulted in a budget implementation rate of 100%, and that the payment appropriations execution rate was 70.27%. They noted that the high overall level of committed appropriations indicated that commitments were made in a timely manner. Members were concerned, however, that that the level of committed appropriations carried over to 2014 was high at 27 % for administrative expenditure and at 69 % for operating expenditure, due to the purchase of IT goods and services. Members also made a series of observations on procurement and recruitment procedures, prevention and conflicts of interest and internal audits. Lastly, the committee urged the Agency to harmonise the presentation of its annual accounts with those of other Union Agencies.

Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Welcomes the fact that the volume of appropriations carried over to 2014 was justified and in keeping with the agency’s annual work programme: as agreed with the Court of Auditors, the agency drew up forecasts for end-of-year carry-overs in early 2013, closely monitoring the situation during the year, and the volume of carry-overs to the following year was in line with the agency’s initial projections; welcomes, furthermore, the fact that, according to the information supplied by the Court of Auditors, the agency managed its budget extremely well in 2013;
