Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Notes that the Centre's accounts for the financial year 2008 show income from interest in the amount of EUR 107 591.31; concludes from the annual closure of accounts and the amount of interest payments that the Centre maintains high cash reserves over long periods; notes that as of 31 December 2008 the Centre's cash reserves amounted to EUR 1 635 537.86 and that appropriations totalling EUR 354 051.31, which, as result of a bank bookkeeping error, had been included in the Centre's accounts as an amount receivable, were credited to the Centre's bank account early in 2009; calls on the Commission to examine ways of ensuring that the principle of needs-based cash management, as laid down in Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002, is implemented to the full and what changes in approach are needed to ensure that the Centre's cash reserves are kept as low as possible on a long-term basis;
