Having evaluated the use of the general budget for the financial year 2004, the Committee on Development holds the opinion that despite the European Commission's efforts, there remain areas where budget use could be improved. The Committee on Development supports the opinion of the European Court of Auditors that objective, useful and clear indicators must be determined, which would enable the assessment of aid results, and it is hoped that such indicators will be prepared and implemented in the period 2007-2013. The Committee on Development views as positive the fact that a means of budgeting aid sectors has been found, which is a more effective alternative than general funding from the budget. However, based on the experience of the latest enlargement, the Committee on Development urges the Commission to ensure that development policy administrative management capacities in Bulgaria and Romania are reinforced before they join the EU.
Upon assessment of the implementation of the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth European Development Funds for 2004, it must be stressed that there is also room for improvement here. The same as previously, the donor aid is being insufficiently coordinated, a results method still has to be prepared to evaluate Community members' cooperation, without which it is impossible to proceed to the desired ‘results based approach’, as we strive to implement the Millenium Development Goals.
Another point – the necessity for the Commission to have clearer proof of states' eligibility to receive aid, to strengthen cooperation with local representatives and to make use of indicators which encourage the effective use of public finance.
On the subject of development aid, there is a danger that up to 700 million euros will not be used by the end of 2007. At the same time, the Tenth European Development Fund is being increased and Member States are obliged to increase development aid. Therefore, just like in previous years, the Commission must put more effort into managing funds for the implementation of development policy."@en1
