This is the Commission's report to the European Parliament (EP) and the Council on the follow-up to the EP discharge resolutions and the Council Recommendation for the 2011 financial year, pursuant to Article 319(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), Article 166 of the Financial Regulation (FR) and Article 119(5) of the European Development Funds (EDF) Financial Regulation. It focusses on the four priority actions highlighted by the EP in its general discharge resolutions as well as on other key requests. It is accompanied by two Commission Staff Working Documents (SWD) containing replies to 387 EP and 87 Council specific discharge requests. The Commission agrees to start new actions on 181 requests (143 from the EP and 38 from the Council). It considers that for 252 requests (205 from the EP and 47 from the Council), the required action has already been taken or is on-going, though in some cases the results of the actions will need to be assessed. Finally, for reasons related to the existing legal and budgetary framework or its institutional role or prerogatives, the Commission cannot accept 41 requests (39 from the EP and 2 from the Council). A justification is provided in the two attached SWD where the Commission was not in a position to accept the requests made by the Discharge Authority. |
