"I voted in favour of postponing the decision on discharge for the 2009 financial year, as the Court of Auditors qualified its opinion on the legality and regularity of the transactions underlying the accounts for the 2009 financial year. Among other things, the Court drew attention to carryovers and cancellations of significant budget appropriations: for example 38% of the budget under the title ‘Buildings, Equipment and Miscellaneous Operating Expenditure’ was carried over to 2010. EUR 14.8 million of this carryover was for activities as yet not implemented (or, in some cases, for goods not received) at the year-end, which is at odds with the budgetary principle of annuality. The Court of Auditors highlighted weaknesses in the management of fees, with significant delays in issuing recovery orders (up to 21 months), as well as weaknesses in the Agency’s treasury policy and failings in its management of procurement procedures. The report notes that, of the 32 recommendations drawn up by the Internal Audit Service (IAS), one recommendation, on the Agency’s implementing procedures regarding experts, was classed as ‘critical’ and 12, relating primarily to human resources management and management of conflicts of interest calling staff members into question were classed as ‘very important’."@en1
