- T7-0166/2012 summary
  
  The European Parliament adopted a decision to grant discharge to the Director of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training in respect of the implementation of the budget for the financial year 2010. This decision also approves the closure of the Agencys accounts. Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year 2010 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Parliament adopted a resolution containing a series of recommendations that need to be taken into account when the discharge is granted, in addition to the general recommendations that appear in the draft resolution on performance, financial management and control of EU agencies. These recommendations may be summarised as follows: Budget and financial management: Parliament notes from the Centres annual accounts for the financial year 2010 that the representation expenses and the meeting expenses increased respectively by 233 % and 37 % compared with 2009. It also notes that, in 2010, the Centre did not meet the target for using funds as already commented on by the Court in its report on the 2009 financial year. It calls on the Centre to keep the discharge authority informed of the use of these contributions. It welcomes in this respect the fact that, in 2011, the target was reached and 100 % of the planned budget was executed; Carryover appropriations: Members note that the Centre carried forward a number of appropriations from one budget heading to another (when some carryovers were unauthorised because they were not automatic). They note some improvements as cancelled payment appropriations were down from 24 % in 2009 to 14% in 2010 but, nevertheless, call on the Centre to put further efforts into reducing carryover appropriations; Transfers: Members call on the Centre to reduce as much as possible transfers of commitment appropriations in order also to apply the principle of specification; Human resources: Parliament observes from its Annual Activity Report (AAR) that on 31 December 2010 the Centre employed 96 staff, 5 posts fewer than provided for in its establishment plan. It takes note of the Governing Board's statement in its opinion on the Centre's 2010 final Annual Account that the recruitment procedures for all five open posts were in progress or had been successfully completed by 31 December 2010; Internal audit: Parliament notes that that the Internal Audit Service (IAS) had observed that the Centre has started to implement new Internal Control Standards (ICS) in 2009 and baseline requirements were fully met by the end of 2010 with very few exceptions. As far as the Internal Audit Capacity (IAC) is concerned, Parliament notes that following an IAC audit of grant procedures the Centre proceeded to recover amounts paid to national grant beneficiaries totalling EUR 23 647.67. On the whole, they are of the view that the IACs reports could lead to further improvements in the internal control measures for procurement and grant procedures.

  The Committee on Budgetary Control adopted the report by Monica Luisa MACOVEI (EPP, RO) on discharge to be granted to the Director of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training in respect of the implementation of the budget for the financial year 2010. Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year 2010 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Members approve the closure of the Centres accounts. However, they make a number of recommendations that need to be taken into account when the discharge is granted, in addition to the general recommendations that appear in the draft resolution on performance, financial management and control of EU agencies: Budget and financial management: Members note from the Centres annual accounts for the financial year 2010 that the representation expenses and the meeting expenses increased respectively by 233 % and 37 % compared with 2009. They also note that, in 2010, the Centre did not meet the target for using funds (annual contributions from two non-Member States which are managed as assigned revenue requiring them to be committed for specific projects), as already commented on by the Court in its report on the 2009 financial year. They call on the Centre to keep the discharge authority informed of the use of these contributions; Carryover appropriations: Members note that the Centre carried forward a number of appropriations from one budget heading to another (when some carryovers were unauthorised because they were not automatic).

  Having examined the revenue and expenditure accounts for the financial year 2010 and the balance sheet at 31 December 2010 of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training, as well as the Court of Auditors' report on the annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year 2010, accompanied by the Centre's replies to the Court's observations, the Council recommends the European Parliament to give a discharge to the Director of the Centre in respect of the implementation of the budget for the financial year 2010. The Council welcomes the Court's opinion that, in all material respects, the Centre's annual accounts fairly present the financial position as at 31 December 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the provisions of the Centre's Financial Regulation, and that the underlying transactions for that financial year are legal and regular. Nevertheless, one observation needs to be made. The Council notes that the utilisation rate of assigned revenue resulting from contributions received from non-EU Member States was below target. Hence the Council calls upon the Centre's commitment to maximise the use of available appropriations.

  PURPOSE: presentation of the EU Court of Auditors report on the annual accounts of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP), for the financial year 2010, together with the Centres reply. CONTENT: in accordance with the tasks conferred on the Court of Auditors by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Court presents to the European Parliament and to the Council, in the context of the discharge procedure, a Statement of Assurance as to the reliability of the annual accounts of each institution, body or agency of the EU, and the legality and regularity of the transactions underlying them, on the basis of an independent external audit. This audit concerned, amongst others, the annual accounts of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP). In the Courts opinion, the Centres Annual Accounts fairly present, in all material respects, its financial position as of 31 December 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the provisions of its Financial Regulation. The Court also considers that the transactions underlying the annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 are, in all material respects, legal and regular. The report confirms that the Centres 2010 budget amounted to EUR 18.3 million, of which the EU contribution was 98%. The number of staff employed by the Centre at the end of the year was 125. The report also makes a series of observations on the budgetary and financial management of the Centre, accompanied by the latters response. The main observations may be summarised as follows: The Courts observations: the Court states that the Centre receives annual contributions from two non-EU Member States who benefit from the Centres work. These funds are managed as assigned revenue, requiring them to be committed for specific projects. The 2010 target for using these funds has not been met. The Centres response: the Centre indicates that it takes note of the Courts comment and confirms its commitment to implement the plan agreed until 2013. Lastly, the Court of Auditors report contains a summary of the Centres activities in 2010. This is focused on the following: the implementation of the work programme in 2010, based on the following priorities: (i) policy analysis and reporting; (ii) supporting the development of European tools and principles for Vocational Educational Training (VET) and lifelong learning; (iii) formulating qualifications for lifelong learning ; (iv) researching vocational educational training; communication and dissemination: positive impact of new website and targeted publication formats such as the briefing notes. key indicators show a high impact of Cedefop activities: the work of the Agency is cited in 88 EU policy documents, and 21 mandates demanding future contributions.

The European Parliament adopted a decision to grant discharge to the Director of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training in respect of the implementation of the budget for the financial year 2010. This decision also approves the closure of the Agency’s accounts.

Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year 2010 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Parliament adopted a resolution containing a series of recommendations that need to be taken into account when the discharge is granted, in addition to the general recommendations that appear in the draft resolution on performance, financial management and control of EU agencies.

These recommendations may be summarised as follows:
- Budget and financial management: Parliament notes from the Centre’s annual accounts for the financial year 2010 that the representation expenses and the meeting expenses increased respectively by 233 % and 37 % compared with 2009. It also notes that, in 2010, the Centre did not meet the target for using funds as already commented on by the Court in its report on the 2009 financial year. It calls on the Centre to keep the discharge authority informed of the use of these contributions. It welcomes in this respect the fact that, in 2011, the target was reached and 100 % of the planned budget was executed;
- Carryover appropriations: Members note that the Centre carried forward a number of appropriations from one budget heading to another (when some carryovers were unauthorised because they were not automatic). They note some improvements as cancelled payment appropriations were down from 24 % in 2009 to 14% in 2010 but, nevertheless, call on the Centre to put further efforts into reducing carryover appropriations;
- Transfers: Members call on the Centre to reduce as much as possible transfers of commitment appropriations in order also to apply the principle of specification;
- Human resources: Parliament observes from its Annual Activity Report (AAR) that on 31 December 2010 the Centre employed 96 staff, 5 posts fewer than provided for in its establishment plan. It takes note of the Governing Board's statement in its opinion on the Centre's 2010 final Annual Account that the recruitment procedures for all five open posts were in progress or had been successfully completed by 31 December 2010;
- Internal audit: Parliament notes that that the Internal Audit Service (IAS) had observed that the Centre has started to implement new Internal Control Standards (ICS) in 2009 and baseline requirements were fully met by the end of 2010 with very few exceptions. As far as the Internal Audit Capacity (IAC) is concerned, Parliament notes that following an IAC audit of grant procedures the Centre proceeded to recover amounts paid to national grant beneficiaries totalling EUR 23 647.67. On the whole, they are of the view that the IAC’s reports could lead to further improvements in the internal control measures for procurement and grant procedures.

The Committee on Budgetary Control adopted the report by Monica Luisa MACOVEI (EPP, RO) on discharge to be granted to the Director of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training in respect of the implementation of the budget for the financial year 2010.

Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year 2010 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Members approve the closure of the Centre’s accounts. However, they make a number of recommendations that need to be taken into account when the discharge is granted, in addition to the general recommendations that appear in the draft resolution on performance, financial management and control of EU agencies:
- Budget and financial management: Members note from the Centre’s annual accounts for the financial year 2010 that the representation expenses and the meeting expenses increased respectively by 233 % and 37 % compared with 2009. They also note that, in 2010, the Centre did not meet the target for using funds (annual contributions from two non-Member States which are managed as assigned revenue requiring them to be committed for specific projects), as already commented on by the Court in its report on the 2009 financial year. They call on the Centre to keep the discharge authority informed of the use of these contributions;
- Carryover appropriations: Members note that the Centre carried forward a number of appropriations from one budget heading to another (when some carryovers were unauthorised because they were not automatic). They note some improvements as cancelled payment appropriations were down from 24 % in 2009 to 14 % in 2010 but, nevertheless, call on the Centre to put further efforts into reducing carryover appropriations;
- Transfers: Members call on the Centre to reduce as much as possible transfers of commitment appropriations in order also to apply the principle of specification;
- Human resources: Members observe from its Annual Activity Report (AAR) that on 31 December 2010 the Centre employed 96 staff, 5 posts fewer than provided for in its establishment plan. They take note of the Governing Board's statement in its opinion on the Centre's 2010 final Annual Account that the recruitment procedures for all five open posts were in progress or had been successfully completed by 31 December 2010;
- Internal audit: Members note that that the Internal Audit Service (IAS) had observed that the Centre has started to implement new Internal Control Standards (ICS) in 2009 and baseline requirements were fully met by the end of 2010 with very few exceptions. A1s far as the Internal Audit Capacity (IAC) is concerned, Members note that following an IAC audit of grant procedures the Centre proceeded to recover amounts paid to national grant beneficiaries totalling EUR 23 647.67. On the whole, they are of the view that the IAC’s reports could lead to further improvements in the internal control measures for procurement and grant procedures.

- PURPOSE: presentation of the EU Court of Auditors’ report on the annual accounts of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP), for the financial year 2010, together with the Centre’s reply.
  
  CONTENT: in accordance with the tasks conferred on the Court of Auditors by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Court presents to the European Parliament and to the Council, in the context of the discharge procedure, a Statement of Assurance as to the reliability of the annual accounts of each institution, body or agency of the EU, and the legality and regularity of the transactions underlying them, on the basis of an independent external audit.
  
  This audit concerned, amongst others, the annual accounts of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP).
  
  In the Court’s opinion, the Centre’s Annual Accounts fairly present, in all material respects, its financial position as of 31 December 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the provisions of its Financial Regulation.
  
  The Court also considers that the transactions underlying the annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 are, in all material respects, legal and regular.
  
  The report confirms that the Centre’s 2010 budget amounted to EUR 18.3 million, of which the EU contribution was 98%. The number of staff employed by the Centre at the end of the year was 125.
  
  The report also makes a series of observations on the budgetary and financial management of the Centre, accompanied by the latter’s response. The main observations may be summarised as follows:
  
  The Court’s observations:
  
  the Court states that the Centre receives annual contributions from two non-EU Member States who benefit from the Centre’s work. These funds are managed as assigned revenue, requiring them to be committed for specific projects. The 2010 target for using these funds has not been met.
  
  The Centre’s response:
  
  the Centre indicates that it takes note of the Court’s comment and confirms its commitment to implement the plan agreed until 2013.
  
  Lastly, the Court of Auditors’ report contains a summary of the Centre’s activities in 2010. This is focused on the following:
  
  the implementation of the work programme in 2010, based on the following priorities: (i) policy analysis and reporting; (ii) supporting the development of European tools and principles for Vocational Educational Training (VET) and lifelong learning; (iii) formulating qualifications for lifelong learning ; (iv) researching vocational educational training;
  
  communication and dissemination: positive impact of new website and targeted publication formats such as the briefing notes.
  
  key indicators show a high impact of Cedefop activities: the work of the Agency is cited in 88 EU policy documents, and 21 mandates demanding future contributions.

- PURPOSE: presentation of the EU Court of Auditors’ report on the annual accounts of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP), for the financial year 2010, together with the Centre’s reply.
  
  CONTENT: in accordance with the tasks conferred on the Court of Auditors by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Court presents to the European Parliament and to the Council, in the context of the discharge procedure, a Statement of Assurance as to the reliability of the annual accounts of each institution, body or agency of the EU, and the legality and regularity of the transactions underlying them, on the basis of an independent external audit.
  
  This audit concerned, amongst others, the annual accounts of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP).
  
  In the Court’s opinion, the Centre’s Annual Accounts fairly present, in all material respects, its financial position as of 31 December 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the provisions of its Financial Regulation.
  
  The Court also considers that the transactions underlying the annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 are, in all material respects, legal and regular.
  
  The report confirms that the Centre’s 2010 budget amounted to EUR 18.3 million, of which the EU contribution was 98%. The number of staff employed by the Centre at the end of the year was 125.
  
  The report also makes a series of observations on the budgetary and financial management of the Centre, accompanied by the latter’s response. The main observations may be summarised as follows:
  
  The Court’s observations:
  
  the Court states that the Centre receives annual contributions from two non-EU Member States who benefit from the Centre’s work. These funds are managed as assigned revenue, requiring them to be committed for specific projects. The 2010 target for using these funds has not been met.
  
  The Centre’s response:
  
  the Centre indicates that it takes note of the Court’s comment and confirms its commitment to implement the plan agreed until 2013.
  
  Lastly, the Court of Auditors’ report contains a summary of the Centre’s activities in 2010. This is focused on the following:
  
  the implementation of the work programme in 2010, based on the following priorities: (i) policy analysis and reporting; (ii) supporting the development of European tools and principles for Vocational Educational Training (VET) and lifelong learning; (iii) formulating qualifications for lifelong learning ; (iv) researching vocational educational training;
  
  communication and dissemination: positive impact of new website and targeted publication formats such as the briefing notes.
  
  key indicators show a high impact of Cedefop activities: the work of the Agency is cited in 88 EU policy documents, and 21 mandates demanding future contributions.

activities/5/docs/0/text	added	Having examined the revenue and expenditure accounts for the financial year 2010 and the balance sheet at 31 December 2010 of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training, as well as the Court of Auditors' report on the annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year 2010, accompanied by the Centre's replies to the Court's observations, the Council recommends the European Parliament to give a discharge to the Director of the Centre in respect of the implementation of the budget for the financial year 2010. The Council welcomes the Court's opinion that, in all material respects, the Centre's annual accounts fairly present the financial position as at 31 December 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the provisions of the Centre's Financial Regulation, and that the underlying transactions for that financial year are legal and regular. Nevertheless, one observation needs to be made. The Council notes that the utilisation rate of assigned revenue resulting from contributions received from non-EU Member States was below target. Hence the Council calls upon the Centre's commitment to maximise the use of available appropriations.
