Summary:

Following up the Court’s Special Reports is a necessary element in the cycle of accountability and helps to encourage the effective implementation of recommendations by the Commission and the member states.

The current report presents the results of the Court’s fourth review of the Commission’s follow-up of a sample of 44 recommendations from eight Special Reports over the period 2009-2012.

Our review showed that the Commission implemented 89 % of our recommendations in full or in most respects, 8 % in some respects, while 3 % were not implemented. We also recommend that the Commission should carry out some improvements to its follow-up practices.
