Amendment 5 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 21 a (new) 21 a.

Highlights that such errors are also regularly reported by the ex post audits of the CAS and its contracted auditors; emphasises therefore that streamlining of the H2020 rules for the declaration of personnel costs and the wider use of simplified cost options is a precondition for stabilising error rates to below materiality level. The Joint Undertaking is also encouraged to strengthen its internal control systems to address the increased risk regarding SMEs and new beneficiaries;
