1. Notes that for agriculture, the ECA used samples of 217 EAGF transactions in 21 countries and 173 transactions in 20 countries covering fisheries, environment/climate and rural development (EAFRD) and welcomes the continuing fall in the error rate to 2,5 % for 2016 (from 3 % in 2015) established by the ECA for “natural resources”; points out that the corrective capacity has been strengthened, thereby minimising the residual risk to the funds;
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)

Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Notes that the first full year of ´greening´ implementation has not apparently impacted the error rate which can be considered a major achievement on the part of farmers and paying agencies given the complex nature of the greening rules; but shares the Commission´s view that it is still too early to draw conclusions on the precise environmental outcomes;
