EXCHANGE OF VIEWS WITH COMMISSIONER MARIANNE THYSSEN, RESPONSIBLE FOR EMPLOYMENT, SOCIAL AFFAIRS, SKILLS AND LABOUR MOBILITY, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EU POLICY TOWARDS THE ROMA Exchange of views Administrator: Philippe Godts In its resolution of 29 April 2015 with observations forming an integral part of the decisions on discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2013, Section III, Commission and executive agencies (2014/2075(DEC) the Parliament pointed out that the funds available for the integration of Roma were not always spent for this purpose. The Parliament was in particular concerned that many Roma face discrimination and social exclusion living in very poor socio-economic conditions. It called on the Commission to support effective implementation of National Roma Integration Strategies at local and regional levels and to ensure that budget spending targets the objectives of the mainstream policies.
The exchange of views with Commissioner Marianne Thyssen offers the opportunity to discuss on the follow-up given by the Commission to the abovementioned resolution 4.

TUESDAY 14 JULY 2015 9.00-12.00 Public meeting 6. ELECTRONIC VOTE 7. PROTECTING THE EUROPEAN UNION'S FINANCIAL INTERESTS: TOWARDS PERFORMANCE-BASED CONTROLS OF COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY Adoption of draft report Rapporteur for the opinion: Petri Sarvamaa (EPP) Administrator: Philippe Godts As pointed out by the Court of Auditors, the arrangements for the common agricultural policy spending and in particular the new framework for cross compliance, do not yet correspond to a reduction in the level of complexity of this policy for the managing authorities or for the beneficiaries.
In his draft initiative report Petri Sarvamaa favours innovative solutions and wants to explore the two following approaches: the achievement of the single audit scheme with only one chain of audits from the final beneficiaries to the European Union institutions and the setting up of a flexible organisation of checks promoting performance based controls of Common Agricultural Policy.

END OF ELECTRONIC VOTE 9. 2013 DISCHARGE - EUROPEAN INSTITUTE OF INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY AGENCY (EIT) Consideration of draft report Rapporteur: Ryszard Czarnecki (ECR) Administrator: Hrvoje Svetic The European Parliament postponed on 29 April 2015 its decision on granting the discharge to the Director of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) for the financial year 2013. In its resolution accompanying the decision of postponement Parliament set out the reasons for postponement and called for a report on steps taken in order to redress the identified shortcomings. In particular, the Parliament has noted, inter alia, the combined error rate regarding the audit issues and material procurement errors between 2% and 3% of total 2013 expenditure, which is above the materiality threshold of 2%, the insufficient quality of ex ante and ex post verifications as well as irregular public procurement procedures. To allow the Parliament to take an informed decision, the EIT has provided CONT on 29 June 2015 a report on its progress since the first report. The second draft report of the Rapporteur, Mr Ryszard Czarnecki, focuses on the changes and improvements made by the EIT since Parliament's first report. The Rapporteur s draft report centres, inter alia, on the following improvements: newly introduced complementary ex-ante verifications for grant expenditure, which added a second layer of assurance on the legality and regularity of grant transactions; redesigned procurement procedures since 2013 with a proactive approach towards the detection of errors; obtainment of the audit certificates on the costs of EIT's beneficiaries and the review of the portfolio of beneficiaries' complementary activities; improved the planning and monitoring procedures related to the budget implementation which include a more rigorous assessment of activities; increased absorption capacity of the first-wave beneficiaries and introduction of additional second-wave beneficiaries; improvements in the vacancy management, establishment of an appraisal and reclassification system providing a better career perspective, strengthening middle management level.

DISCHARGE 2013: ENIAC - EUROPEAN NANOELECTRONICS INITIATIVE ADVISORY COUNCIL Consideration of draft report Rapporteur: Ryszard Czarnecki (ECR) Administrator: Michal Czaplicki Following the recommendation made by CONT in its first report, the European Parliament postponed on 29 April 2015 its decision on granting the discharge to the Directors of the ARTEMIS and ENIAC Joint Undertaking for the financial year 2013. In its resolution accompanying the decision of postponement, the Parliament set out the reasons for postponement and called for a report on steps taken in order to redress the identified shortcomings. In particular, the Parliament has noted, inter alia, that the Court for the third consecutive year issued a qualified opinion questioning the ex post audit strategy with respect to the legality and regularity of the transactions of the ENIAC JU. ARTEMIS JU on the other hand failed to respect the 2014 recommendations of the discharge authority and did not adopt a comprehensive policy for the prevention and management of conflicts of interests. To allow the Parliament to take an informed decision, the Joint Undertakings have provided CONT on 25 June 2015 a report on their progress since the first report. The second draft report of the Rapporteur, Mr Ryszard Czarnecki, focuses on the progress and changes made by the Joint Undertakings since Parliament's first report. The Rapporteur s draft reports centre, inter alia, on the improvements in the ex post audits and audit strategies, the progress in managing the assurances provided by National Funding Authorities as well as on development of new methodology for residual error rate estimation.

DISCHARGE 2013: EU GENERAL BUDGET - COUNCIL AND EUROPEAN COUNCIL Consideration of draft report Rapporteur: Ryszard Czarnecki (ECR) Administrator: Tereza Pinto de Rezende For the seventh year, and by a large majority, on 29 April 2015, the Plenary postponed the 2013 European Council and Council discharge, maintaining the decision and reconfirming the content of the report, as voted in CONT. The rapporteur, Mr Ryszard Czarnecki (ECR), in his second report recalls the outstanding issues and Parliament's responsibilities in the discharge process. He is of the opinion that it is necessary to consider different possibilities to update the rules on granting discharge laid down in the TFEU. Also an open and formal dialogue procedure between Parliament and Council would be a positive sign to be sent to the Union's citizens. Notwithstanding, the Rapporteur regrets that no replies
were provided in the meantime by the Council to the questions and the requests made in this and the previous discharge exercises. He proposes therefore to refuse again the discharge to the European Council and Council.

THE ROLE OF THE EU WITHIN THE UN - HOW TO BETTER ACHIEVE EU FOREIGN POLICY GOALS Consideration of draft opinion Rapporteur for the opinion: Ryszard Czarnecki (ECR) Administrator: Olivier Sautière Main committee: AFET In his draft opinion, the Rapporteur Mr Czarnecki highlights the need to enhance the UN efficiency, accountability, effectiveness and transparency especially when EU funding is at stake. Likewise, the approximation of the respective governance systems to define common principles of assurance in compliance with the EU legal requirements and the research of synergies and leverages between EU and UN on areas of common interest should be pursued as a permanent objective. Besides the reinforcement of good governance practices, the Rapporteur considers that Union visibility in multi-donors interventions, the expanding of Union values as well as the adequacy of interventions with EU overall strategy and political priorities have to be constantly ensured. The Rapporteur also underlines the development of an effective result-oriented approach in light of the focus on the performance and sustainability of results achieved of the Union assistance.

MISSION TO "THE SAHRAWI REFUGEE CAMP OF TINDOUF IN ALGERIA" - RESULTS Exchange of views with Claus Sorensen, Director-General of Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO) Administrator: Philippe Godts In its resolution of 29 April 2015 with observations forming an integral part of the decisions on discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2013, Section III, Commission and executive agencies (2014/2075(DEC), the Parliament called on the Commission to clarify the measures taken in response to the findings of the report drafted by the OLAF on the humanitarian aid granted to the Sahrawi refugee camp of Tindouf in Algeria (OF 2003/526) and called on in particular the Commission to re-evaluate and adapt Union aid to the actual needs of the population concerned and to ensure that the interests and needs of the refugees will not be harmed because they are the most vulnerable to any possible irregularity. The exchange of views with Claus Sorensen offers the opportunity to discuss on the follow-up given by the Commission to the abovementioned resolution * * *

ECA SPECIAL REPORT N 5/2015 (2014 DISCHARGE) ON "ARE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A SUCCESSFUL AND PROMISING TOOL IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT AREA?" Presentation of the Special Report by the Member of the European Court of Auditors responsible, Kersti Kaljulaid, and consideration of a working document Rapporteur: Jens Geier (S&D) Administrator: Philippe Godts Financial instruments were first applied to agriculture in the 2000-2006 programming period and were extended to 2007-2013 with a view to helping farmers and small rural businesses obtain private funding for rural investment projects. These instruments, via loan funds and guarantee funds, are meant both to attract additional public and/or private capital (leverage effect) and allow the initial allocations of funds to be reutilised (revolving factor). At the end of 2013, the EU and the Member States had contributed around 700 million euro in financial instruments in the area of rural development. The Court addressed the questions of whether financial instruments had been successful in the 2007-2013 programming period in the area of rural development and whether the changes introduced for the new programming period 2014-2020 were likely to have a significant impact on the key shortcomings identified. Overall, the Court concluded that financial instruments had been unsuccessful in the field of rural development and although the 2014-2020 period is potentially promising, it will be a considerable challenge to achieve the desired impact, mainly due to a persistent overcapitalisation and the risk of continued dependence on grants. However, it needs to be pointed out that with regard to the management of EU funds no misuse took place. It was rather the lack of effectiveness and a massive overcapitalisation of the financial instruments that lead to commitments with only very limited impact compared to the main purpose to foster the implementation of EU policies in the area of rural development. The Rapporteur recommends in particular that the Commission identifies the obstacles faced in rural development in order to encourage Member States to better set up and assess the budgetary demand for financial instruments and to avoid overcapitalisation. the Commission provides guidance and actively promotes the quality of the mandatory ex- ante assessments for financial instruments as introduced for the programming period 2014-2020 ; the Member States validate the risk exposure ratio by appropriate technical expertise; the Commission sets appropriate standards and targets for leverage and revolving effects.in order to increase the effectiveness of the financial instruments for the programming period 2014-2020;
the Commission encourages Member States to establish a single financial instrument which is able to provide both loans and guarantees, thus increasing its activity and critical mass; the Member States overcome selection weaknesses in the management of grants for investment measures, which could result in deadweight or displacement effect the Member States examine how grants and financial instruments can be combined in the Operational Programme to provide the best value for money, by optimising leverage and /revolving effects; The Commission provides clearly defined operational implementing rules, including the exit policy, in due time and before the closure of the 2007-2013 programming period. The Rapporteur's recommendations will form part of the Commission's discharge report for the financial year 2014. Amendments may be tabled in this context and the deadline will be the same as the Commission's discharge. TUESDAY 14 JULY 2015 16.00-18.30 Public meeting 17. HEARING ON "THE USE OF EU FUNDS IN MEMBER STATES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMPANIES (CONTRACTORS OR SUBCONTRACTORS) OUTSIDE OF A GIVEN MEMBER STATE" Rapporteur: Ryszard Czarnecki (ECR) Administrator: Christian Ehlers On 2 December 2014 coordinators decided, upon request of the ECR Group to organise a hearing on the subject mentioned above. The question raised is: Who benefitted from ERDF assistance in countries that joined the EU in 2004 or later? Coordinators endorsed the outline for the hearing on 17 June. It was agreed to look at two Member States in detail, Poland and Hungary, as they are among the most important beneficiaries of structural funds. In addition, a broader, more horizontal view would be added. The draft programme including the name of the speakers was sent to Members on 3 July.
