Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 a (new)

7a. Regrets however that despite repeated calls by the Committee on Budgetary Control, the special report on cost benchmarking of EU Agencies included in the Court of Auditors' working programme for 2011 has not been released and therefore the discharge authority lacked important data for the drafting of the 2010 discharge of the decentralised Agencies; moreover, takes note of the letter of 15 February 2012 of the President of the Court of Auditors by which comparative data on the Agencies' costs, financial management and operational efficiency are provided, and is negatively surprised by the letter's assertions that the respective data is of a non-public nature and should be used for the 2011 discharge, although it includes and examines data from 2008-2010;

7b. Considers that preventing and identifying conflicts of interest is of high relevance for the efficient and correct use of resources as well as for the public confidence in the Union institutions; expects therefore the Court of Auditors to complete and release the Special Report on conflicts of interest management in the European Aviation Safety Agency, the European Chemicals Agency, the European Food Safety Authority and the European Medicines Agency, as planned, by the end of June 2012;

Paragraph 8 a (new)

8a. Commends the good cooperation between the Court of Auditors and the Committee on Budgetary Control regarding the 2010 discharge for the Joint Undertakings; invites the Court of Auditors to provide the discharge authority with a special report on the effectiveness of the Joint Undertakings' establishment and on their added value for the efficient execution of Union research, technological development and demonstration programmes;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 b (new)

8b. Regrets, however, that the Court of Auditors' reports on the decentralised Agencies for the financial year 2010 include only half of the information provided in previous years (in 2010: 38 comments for 24 Agencies, in 2009: 69 comments for 22 Agencies and in 2008: 69 comments for 23 Agencies) and that most of the Court of Auditors' comments on the 2010's reports include only general statements and not precise information and findings; believes that the Court of Auditors' duty to fully inform both the public and the discharge authority on how Union money is spent by the decentralized Agencies derives from the Court of Auditors' status of being the external auditing body and therefore calls on the Court of Auditors to reflect all its findings, including the negative aspects, and its recommendations, through its public annual or special reports, for a full accountability of the use of the tax payers' money and for increasing the public trust;
