summary
PURPOSE: presentation by the Commission of the consolidated annual accounts of the European Union for the financial year 2016, as part of the 2016 discharge procedure. Analysis of the accounts of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). CONTENT: the organisational governance of the EU consists of institutions, agencies and other EU bodies whose expenditure is included in the general budget of the Union. This Commission document concerns the EU's consolidated accounts for the year 2016 and details how spending by the EU institutions and bodies was carried out. The consolidated annual accounts of the EU provide financial information on the activities of the institutions, agencies and other bodies of the EU from an accrual accounting and budgetary perspective. It is the responsibility of the Commission's Accounting Officer to prepare the EU's consolidated annual accounts and ensure that they present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position, the result of the operations and the cash flows of the EU institutions and bodies, including the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), with a view to granting discharge. Discharge procedure: the final step of a budget lifecycle is the discharge of the budget for a given financial year. It represents the political aspect of the external control of budget implementation and is the decision by which the European Parliament, acting on a Council recommendation, "releases" the Commission (and other EU bodies) from its responsibility for management of a given budget by marking the end of that budget's existence. The European Parliament is the discharge authority within the EU. The discharge procedure may produce three outcomes: (i) the granting; (ii) postponement or; (iii) the refusal of the discharge. The final discharge report including specific recommendations to the Commission for action is adopted in plenary by the European Parliament and are subject to an annual follow up report in which the Commission outlines the concrete actions it has taken to implement the recommendations made. Each agency is subject to its own discharge procedure, including the ECDC. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control: the Centre, which is located in Stockholm (SE), was set up by Regulation (EC) No 851/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Its main tasks are to collect and disseminate data on the prevention and control of human diseases and provide scientific opinions on this subject. As regards the Centre’s accounts, these are presented in detail in the document on the consolidated annual accounts of the European Union for 2016: Commitment appropriations: available: EUR 59 million; made: EUR 58 million. Payment appropriations: available: EUR 69 million; made: EUR 56 million. For further details on expenditure, please refer to the final accounts of the ECDC.

Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6. Notes that a number of activities included in the Centre’s work programme for 2016 were not implemented due to resources constraints; stresses that the Centre will need to adapt its future work programmes in line with the resources available to it in order to maximise its effectiveness;
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Recalls that, as a Union agency, the Centre has a budget which is denominated in euro; however, since its seat is outside the Euro-zone (in Sweden), a lot of its expenses are incurred in Swedish krona (SEK); furthermore, the Centre is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations since not only does it have bank accounts in Swedish krona but also carries out certain transactions in other foreign currencies, which should not be seen as a disadvantage, and is a situation that applies to many private or public institutions working in Sweden or in other countries outside the eurozone;

Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 9. Welcomes the fact that the majority of the Centre’s jobs (74,4%) are linked to operational work, although this percentage could still rise further;
