Paragraph 4
4. Welcomes the fall in the error rate for rural development to 4,9 % from 6 % in 2015, and 6 % in 2014; recognises that rural problems require complex investment programmes, and that the error rate springs from the different objectives for addressing economic, rural infrastructure, environmental, and animal health challenges, contrasting with the EAGF rate of 1,7 %; believes also that rural development investments are a core part of the policy to be maintained alongside proven sound and beneficial risk management models; is concerned at falling employment in agriculture and believes that Pillar 2 investments are key for rural development and infrastructure; stresses that the method for calculating the error rate for CAP payments (in particular rural development programmes) can be improved by i.e. simplification and less bureaucracy as presented with the ELER Reset initiative.
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Recalls that there is a significant difference in types and scale of error, and regrets that, even if the investment was effective, expenditure is still judged 100 % ineligible by the ECA in the event of public procurement errors; stresses therefore that further rationalisation in the error calculation method is desirable.; stresses that, for the purposes of error calculation, a distinction must be made between errors with financial implications and those without;
