"I voted for discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions for the financial year 2006, based on the report by Mr Martin recommending that Parliament should grant the Director discharge. The discharge process should be simplified and rationalised for satellite agencies, which have increased in number (from 8 in 2000 to 20 in 2006) and now represent a total budget of around EUR 1 billion. I support the call for the Commission to present a study every five years on the added value of every existing agency and that it should have no qualms about closing an agency in case of a negative evaluation of its added value. Similarly, improvements are urgently needed to agencies’ internal audit procedures, and I welcome the possibility of an inter-agency disciplinary board. I am surprised that the Court of Auditors once again found high carry-over rates in the implementation of the Foundation’s budget (43% for administrative expenditure and 45% for operating activities) and at the doubts raised by the Court over the Foundation’s compliance with the budget annuality rule."@en1
