5. Notes that the Commission intends to require Member States' authorities to present a management declaration and an independent audit opinion thereon; welcomes this move but recalls that a declaration signed at ministerial level is the mid-term objective to counter the current lack of ownership; insists that the Commission and individual Member States must establish effective partnerships to ensure that both sides fulfil their responsibilities for the funds entrusted to them; notes that the Commission has limited instruments available and must of necessity rely on the resources of the Member States; calls on the Commission and Member States to cooperate in developing an effective control architecture which uses the resources of both in a complementary manner to maximise safeguards with the least bureaucracy;

Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Is finally of the opinion that this should be complemented by a catalogue of sanctions to be borne by Member States and final beneficiaries in case of irregularities.; calls for sanctions to be imposed primarily on the final beneficiaries themselves in the case of irregularities to ensure that those at fault are correctly held accountable for their errors; believes that sanctions against Member States should be applied only in cases of management fault or systemic failure for which Member States are responsible rather than simply applied as a quick and easy solution to avoid holding final beneficiaries to account;
