"This report and the annexed resolution includes many points with which we do not agree. The rapporteur raises suspicions about and makes accusations against the Member States, plays down their role in budget execution, disrespects certain fundamental principles of their sovereignty and advocates close ‘policing’ of them by the Commission. The rapporteur highlights that there has been an increased error rate relating to management of EU funds – the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Social Fund, energy and transportation – and that this has been caused by the Member States mismanaging such funding. It therefore suggests that the Commission sanctions non-conforming Member States ‘with different tools’. These tools range from interrupting or suspending fund payments to the external authorities that the report advocates. It also stresses that these payments may only be restarted ‘if sufficient appropriate audit evidence gathered on the spot proves that weaknesses were remedied’. At the same time, it does not elaborate – as it could and should have done – on some of the causes motivating a variety of types of non-conformity."@en1
