"I voted for discharge in respect of the implementation of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) budget for the financial year 2006, based on the report by Mr Lundgren recommending that Parliament should grant discharge to the EESC’s Secretary-General.
Like many Members, I welcome the signature in December 2007 of a new Administrative Cooperation Agreement between the EESC and the Committee of the Regions (CoR) for the period 2008 to 2014, aware that such cooperation will be financially advantageous for the European taxpayer. In terms of controls, in its annual activity report, the EESC considered the number of ex post controls performed in 2006 insufficient. This situation seems to have improved, however. It is crucial that the controls carried out are rigorous. We should be pleased at the personal assurance given by the EESC’s Secretary-General regarding the efficiency and regularity of ex ante and ex post controls.
At the same time, like many Members, I congratulate the EESC for setting up an audit committee made up of three EESC Members, whose tasks include the verification of the independence of the Internal Audit unit and the assessment of actions taken in response to the recommendations contained in the audit reports."@en1
