  • The European Parliament adopted by 556 votes to 113, with 24 abstentions, a decision to grant discharge to the Executive Director of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) 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 Authority for the financial year 2013 are reliable, and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Parliament adopted by 564 votes to 87, with 35 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.

    • Authority’s financial statements: Parliament noted that the final budget of the Authority for the financial year 2013 was EUR 18 767 470, representing an increase of 19.88% compared to 2012, due to the Authority’s recently established nature.
    • Carry-overs: Parliament noted with concern that the level of committed appropriations carried over was high at 85% for operational expenditure. It acknowledged that the carry-overs resulted from the multiannual IT strategy and implementation plan and from specific contracts with services to be provided in 2014. The extent to which 2013 appropriations were used to cover 2014 activities is at odds with the budgetary principle of annuality according to Members. It called on the Authority to inform the discharge authority on the actions it will take in order to reduce the amount of carryovers.

    Parliament also called on the Authority, given its limited resources, to stick to the tasks assigned to it by Parliament and the Council. It should carry out those assignments in full, but that it must not seek to go beyond its mandate, and that it must remain independent.

    Parliament also made a series of observations on procurement, recruitment procedures as well as comments on internal controls.

  • 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 Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority for the financial year 2013.

    It called on the European Parliament to grant the Executive Director of the Authority discharge in respect of the implementation of its 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 Authority for the financial year 2013 are reliable, and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Members called on the Parliament approve the closure of the Authority’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.

    • Authority’s financial statements: Members noted that the final budget of the Authority for the financial year 2013 was EUR 18 767 470, representing an increase of 19.88% compared to 2012, due to the Authority’s recently established nature.

    Carry-overs: Members noted with concern that the level of committed appropriations carried over was high at 85 % for operational expenditure. They acknowledged that the carryovers resulted from the multiannual IT strategy and implementation plan and from specific contracts with services to be provided in 2014. The extent to which 2013 appropriations were used to cover 2014 activities is at odds with the budgetary principle of annuality according to Members. They called on the Authority to inform the discharge authority on the actions it will take in order to reduce the amount of carryovers.

  • PURPOSE: presentation by the Commission of the consolidated annual accounts of the European Union for the financial year 2013, as part of the 2013 discharge procedure.

    Analysis of the accounts of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA).

    CONTENT: this Commission document sets out the consolidated annual accounts of the European Union for the financial year 2013 as prepared on the basis of the information presented by the institutions, organisations and bodies of the EU, in accordance with Article 129 (2) of the Financial Regulation applicable to the EU's General Budget, including the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA).

    The document contains the figures on which the discharge procedure is based.

    Discharge procedure of the EU agencies: the EU Budget finances a wide range of policies and programmes throughout the EU. In accordance with the priorities set by the European Parliament and the Council in the multi-annual financial framework (MFF), the European Commission carries out specific programmes, activities and projects in the field with the technical support of some specialised agencies.

    The consolidated annual accounts of the EU provide information on the activities of the institutions, agencies and other bodies of the EU from a budgetary and accrual accounting perspective.

    The consolidated reports on the implementation of the general budget of the EU include the budget implementation of all Institutions. Agencies do not have a separate budget inside the EU budget; and they are partially financed by a Commission budget subsidy.

    Each agency is subject to its own discharge procedure.

    EIOPA: in 2013, the tasks and budget of this agency were as follows:

    • description of EIOPA's tasks: EIOPA, which is located in Frankfurt, was set up by Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council with a view to protecting the public interest by contributing to the short, medium and long-term stability and efficiency of the financial system for the economy of the European Union, its citizens and its companies;
    • EIOPA's budget for the 2013 financial year: EIOPA’s budget for 2013, as presented in the Commission document on the consolidated annual accounts of the European Union, gives the following figures:

    §         Commitment appropriations :

    - committed : EUR 19 million;

    - paid : EUR 18 million;

    - carried-over : 0.

    §         Payment appropriations :

    - committed : EUR 22 million;

    - paid : EUR 16 million;

    - carried-over : EUR 5 million.

    Please refer also to the final accounts of the Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority.
