- T7-0171/2012 summary
  
  The European Parliament adopted a decision concerning the granting of discharge to the Executive Director of the European Chemicals Agency in respect of the implementation of the Agency's 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 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 acknowledges from the Agency that the Agency is financed through fees paid by industry for registrations of chemical substances and by a potential Union contribution. Since 2010, the Agency is fully self-financing. However, there is scope for its Financial Regulation to be revised to include a mechanism for retaining surplus from the Agency's revenue to finance its future activities. Parliament takes note of the Agency's reply which states that it will include a proposal for a mechanism to manage surplus revenue in the upcoming review of its Financial Regulation, and that the Agency has cash reserves for asset management at the European Investment Bank and the Central Bank of Finland; Carryover of appropriations: Parliament establishes that the carryovers commitment and payment appropriations, of more than EUR 12 million mainly relate to IT costs for support to operations as well as general administration. It also establishes that more than EUR 2 million was cancelled. Members feel that further efforts are needed. Furthermore, as the Agency works with non-dissociated credits in all its Titles, it is unrealistic to expect that all operations budgeted for one calendar year could both be committed and paid up within the same budgetary year, especially for project-type operational expenditure (e.g. IT systems developments). Conflict of interests: bearing in mind that the Agency is involved in decisions of high importance for consumers, and taking into account its exposure due to its importance to industry, Parliament is looking forward to receiving and discussing the findings and recommendations of the Special Report of the Court of Auditors on conflict of interest situations to be released before the end of June 2012. It considers that, after the initial build-up phase with a focus on procedures, the Agency needs to ensure that its budget and staff are allocated in a way that allows it to deliver fully on substance, in particular regarding evaluation, restrictions and authorisation; Internal audit: Parliament considers that the Agency has improved its administrative processes (including financial circuits) and its operational workflow. It notes that the Internal Audit Capability performed two assurance internal audits in 2010: one on Staff back-up Process and the other one on Fee Invoicing Process; Performance: Parliament notes that around the end of 2010, two important deadlines passed for REACH and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation. It welcomes, therefore, the fact that the Agency successfully managed to handle the reception and processing of 25 000 registration dossiers on 4 300 chemical substances that are either commonly used in Europe or are the most hazardous and of over 3 million notifications for over 100 000 substances that are classified and have to be labelled to protect the user. It welcomes the Agencys initiatives for enhancing its customer focus and feedback procedures, and is generally satisfied with the successful operation of the Agency in implementing the Unions chemicals' legislation; Role of coordinator of the network of agencies: lastly, Parliament commends the Agency on its effective work as coordinator of the network of agencies during the 2010 discharge procedure.

Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts for the financial year 2010 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Members approve the closure of the Agencys 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 observe that, according to the Court of Auditors, the Agency in 2010 the Agency became fully self-financing but that there is scope for its Financial Regulation to be revised to include a mechanism for retaining surplus from the Agency's revenue to finance its future activities.

  Having examined the revenue and expenditure accounts for the financial year 2010 and the balance sheet at 31 December 2010 of the European Chemicals Agency, and the report by the Court of Auditors on the annual accounts of the Agency for the financial year 2010, accompanied by the Agency's replies to the Court's observations, the Council recommends the European Parliament to give a discharge to the Executive Director of the Agency in respect of the implementation of the budget for the financial year 2010. However, the Council considers that observations made in the Court of Auditor's report call for a certain number of remarks: the Council welcomes the Court's opinion that, in all material respects, the Agency'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 Agency's Financial Regulation, and that the underlying transactions for that financial year are legal and regular; the Council notes that the Agency has become fully self-financing. It invites the Commission and the Agency to present proposals for a revision of the Financial Regulation in order to include a mechanism for retaining and managing surplus own revenue to finance the Agency's future activities.

There is scope for the Agency’s Financial Regulation to be revised to include a mechanism for retaining surplus own revenue to finance the Agency’s future activities. The Agency’s reply: the Agency will include a proposal for mechanism to manage surplus revenue in the upcoming review of the Framework Financial Regulation. Lastly, the Court of Auditors’ report contains a summary of the Agency’s activities in 2010. This is focused on the following: preparation for and handling of submissions under the first REACH registration deadline, including enquiries on chemicals (1 600); evaluation and compliance checks; 16 substances identified for inclusion in the Candidate list in the authorisation process; classification and labelling: number of C&L notifications received: over 3 million for over 100 000 substances. advice and assistance with 10 000 questions answered by helpdesk ; further development of REACH-IT and other scientific IT systems; scientific and Practical Advice for the further development of legislation communication, with 2.5 million website visits from 200 countries. relations with EU Institutions and International Cooperation including with Canada and with the US Environmental Protection Agency. type Court of Auditors: opinion, report title N7-0011/2012 url http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOHtml.do?uri=OJ:C:2011:366:SOM:EN:HTML type Court of Auditors: opinion, report title OJ C 366 15.12.2011, p. 0033 body CoA type Court of Auditors: opinion, report

However, the Council considers that observations made in the Court of Auditor's report call for a certain number of remarks: the Council welcomes the Court's opinion that, in all material respects, the Agency'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 Agency's Financial Regulation, and that the underlying transactions for that financial year are legal and regular; the Council notes that the Agency has become fully self-financing.

activities/7/docs/0	deleted	url http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=TA&language=FR&reference=P7-TA-2012-171 text Le Parlement européen a adopté une décision concernant la décharge à octroyer au directeur exécutif de l'Agence européenne des produits chimiques (ECHA) sur l'exécution du budget de l’Agence pour l'exercice 2010. La décision d’octroyer la décharge vaut également clôture des comptes pour cette agence communautaire. Constatant que la Cour des comptes avait indiqué avoir obtenu l’assurance raisonnable que les comptes annuels de l’Agence pour l’exercice 2010 étaient fiables et que les opérations sous–jacentes étaient légales et régulières, le Parlement a adopté une résolution contenant une série de recommandations dont il faut tenir compte au moment de l’octroi de la décharge, outre les recommandations générales figurant dans la résolution concernant la performance, la gestion financière et le contrôle des agences. Ces recommandations peuvent se résumer comme suit : Gestion budgétaire et financière : le Parlement observe que l'Agence est financée par des redevances versées par l'industrie pour l'enregistrement des substances chimiques et éventuellement par une contribution de l'Union. Depuis 2010, l'Agence est d’ailleurs entièrement autofinancée. Toutefois, son règlement financier doit encore être révisé de manière à intégrer un mécanisme permettant de conserver l'excédent de recettes propres afin de financer ses activités futures. Il prend acte de la réponse de l'Agence qui précise qu'elle intégrera une proposition de mécanisme de gestion de l'excédent de recettes lors de la révision de son règlement financier. Il relève également que l’Agence a placé des réserves de liquidités auprès de la Banque européenne d’investissement et de la Banque centrale de Finlande à des fins de gestion des actifs ; Reports de crédits : le Parlement constate que les reports de crédits d'engagement et de paiement, d'un montant de plus de 12 millions EUR, concernent principalement des dépenses informatiques d'appui et des frais généraux d'administration. Il constate également que plus de 2 millions EUR de 2009 ont été annulés. Même si l’Agence a progressé en termes de reports de crédits, le Parlement estime que des efforts supplémentaires sont nécessaires. Par ailleurs, et, dans la mesure où l'Agence utilise des crédits non dissociés, le Parlement estime qu’il est illusoire de s'attendre à ce que toutes les opérations inscrites au budget pour une année civile puissent être à la fois engagées et payées au cours du même exercice budgétaire, en particulier pour ce qui concerne les dépenses opérationnelles liées à des projets (développement de systèmes informatiques, par exemple) ; Conflits d'intérêts : compte tenu de ce que l’Agence participe à la prise de décisions d’importance majeure pour les consommateurs et compte tenu de son exposition du fait de son importance pour le secteur industriel, le Parlement attend avec intérêt de recevoir et d’examiner les résultats et les recommandations du rapport spécial de la Cour des comptes sur les situations de conflits d'intérêts, dont la publication est prévue d’ici la fin du mois de juin 2012. Il estime en particulier qu’après la phase initiale de mise en place, l'Agence devrait veiller à une affectation de son budget et de ses effectifs qui lui permette d'avoir un plein rendement sur le fond, en particulier en ce qui concerne l'évaluation, les restrictions et l'autorisation ; Audit interne : le Parlement estime que l'Agence a amélioré ses processus administratifs (y compris ses circuits financiers) et son fonctionnement opérationnel. Il relève que le Service d'audit interne (SAI) de l'Agence a procédé à deux audits internes d'assurance en 2010, l'un sur le processus de remplacement du personnel et l'autre sur le processus de facturation des redevances ; Résultats : le Parlement note que deux échéances importantes ont été adoptées vers la fin de l'année 2010 en ce qui concerne le règlement-cadre REACH et le règlement relatif à la classification, à l'étiquetage et à l'emballage. Il se félicite, dès lors, que l'Agence ait réussi à gérer la réception et le traitement de 25.000 dossiers d'enregistrement pour 4.300 substances chimiques couramment utilisées en Europe ou classées parmi les plus dangereuses, et plus de 3 millions de notifications pour plus de 100.000 substances classées et nécessitant un étiquetage visant à protéger les utilisateurs. Il salue en particulier les initiatives de l'Agence visant à développer son approche axée sur le client et à consolider les procédures de retour d'information. De manière générale, le Parlement se félicite de la bonne application par l'Agence de la législation de l'Union sur les produits chimiques ; Rôle de coordinateur du réseau des agences : le Parlement se félicite enfin de ce que l'Agence ait pu coordonner efficacement le réseau des agences dans le cadre de la procédure de décharge 2010. type Décision du Parlement, 1ère lecture/lecture unique title T7-0171/2012

Constatant que la Cour des comptes avait indiqué avoir obtenu l’assurance raisonnable que les comptes annuels de l’Agence pour l’exercice 2010 étaient fiables et que les opérations sous–jacentes étaient légales et régulières, les députés approuvent la clôture des comptes de l’Agence. Ils font toutefois une série de recommandations dont il faut tenir compte au moment de l’octroi de la décharge, outre les recommandations générales figurant dans le projet de résolution concernant la performance, la gestion financière et le contrôle des agences : Gestion budgétaire et financière : les députés observent que, d'après la Cour des comptes, l'Agence est entièrement autofinancée depuis 2010, mais que son règlement financier est encore susceptible d'être révisé de manière à intégrer un mécanisme permettant de conserver l'excédent de recettes propres afin de financer ses activités futures.

New The Committee on Budgetary Control adopted the report by Monica Luisa MACOVEI (PPE, RO) on discharge in respect of the budget of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and called on the European Parliament to grant the Executive Director of the Agency discharge in respect of the implementation of the Agency's budget for the financial year 2010. Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts for the financial year 2010 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Members approve the closure of the Agency’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 observe that, according to the Court of Auditors, the Agency in 2010 the Agency became fully self-financing but that there is scope for its Financial Regulation to be revised to include a mechanism for retaining surplus from the Agency's revenue to finance its future activities. They take note of the Agency's reply which states that it will include a proposal for a mechanism to manage surplus revenue in the upcoming review of its Financial Regulation, and that the Agency has cash reserves for asset management at the European Investment Bank and the Central Bank of Finland. Carryover of appropriations: the committee establishes that the carryovers commitment and payment appropriations, of more than EUR 12million mainly relate to IT costs for support to operations as well as general administration. It also establishes that more than EUR 2 million was cancelled. Members feel that further efforts are needed. Furthermore, as the Agency works with non-dissociated credits in all its Titles, it is unrealistic to expect that all operations budgeted for one calendar year could both be committed and paid up within the same budgetary year, especially for project-type operational expenditure (e.g. IT systems developments). Conflict of interests: bearing in mind that the Agency is involved in decisions of high importance for consumers, and taking into account its exposure due to its importance to industry, the committee is looking forward to receiving and discussing the findings and recommendations of the Special Report of the Court of Auditors on conflict of interest situations to be released before the end of June 2012. It considers that, after the initial build-up phase with a focus on procedures, the Agency needs to ensure that its budget and staff are allocated in a way that allows it to deliver fully on substance, in particular regarding evaluation, restrictions and authorisation. Internal audit: Members consider that the Agency has improved its administrative processes (including financial circuits) and its operational workflow. They note that the Internal Audit Capability performed two assurance internal audits in 2010: one on “Staff back-up Process” and the other one on “Fee Invoicing Process”. Performance: the committee notes that around the end of 2010, two important deadlines passed for REACH and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation. It welcomes, therefore, the fact that the Agency successfully managed to handle the reception and processing of 25 000 registration dossiers on 4 300 chemical substances that are either commonly used in Europe or are the most hazardous and of over 3 million notifications for over 100 000 substances that are classified and have to be labelled to protect the user. It welcomes the Agency’s initiatives for enhancing its customer focus and feedback procedures, and is generally satisfied with the successful operation of the Agency in implementing the Union’s chemicals' legislation. Role of coordinator of the network of agencies: lastly, Members commend the Agency on its effective work as coordinator of the network of agencies during the 2010 discharge procedure.

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 Chemicals Agency (ECA). In the Court’s opinion, the Agency’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 Agency for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 are, in all material respects, legal and regular. The report confirms that the Agency’s 2010 budget amounted to EUR 75 million and that the number of staff employed by the Agency at the end of the year was 472. The report also makes a series of observations on the budgetary and financial management of the Agency, accompanied by the latter’s response. The main observations may be summarised as follows: The Court’s observations: in 2010, the Agency became fully self-financing. There is scope for the Agency’s Financial Regulation to be revised to include a mechanism for retaining surplus own revenue to finance the Agency’s future activities. The Agency’s reply: the Agency will include a proposal for mechanism to manage surplus revenue in the upcoming review of the Framework Financial Regulation. Lastly, the Court of Auditors’ report contains a summary of the Agency’s activities in 2010. This is focused on the following: preparation for and handling of submissions under the first REACH registration deadline, including enquiries on chemicals (1 600); evaluation and compliance checks; 16 substances identified for inclusion in the Candidate list in the authorisation process; classification and labelling: number of C&L notifications received: over 3 million for over 100 000 substances. advice and assistance with 10 000 questions answered by helpdesk ; further development of REACH-IT and other scientific IT systems; scientific and Practical Advice for the further development of legislation communication, with 2.5 million website visits from 200 countries. relations with EU Institutions and International Cooperation including with Canada and with the US Environmental Protection Agency. type Court of Auditors: opinion, report title N7-0011/2012

However, the Council considers that observations made in the Court of Auditor's report call for a certain number of remarks: the Council welcomes the Court's opinion that, in all material respects, the Agency'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 Agency's Financial Regulation, and that the underlying transactions for that financial year are legal and regular; the Council notes that the Agency has become fully self-financing.

activities/5/docs	deleted	url http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=REPORT&mode=XML&reference=A7-2012-126&language=EN text The Committee on Budgetary Control adopted the report by Monica Luisa MACOVEI (PPE, RO) on discharge in respect of the budget of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and called on the European Parliament to grant the Executive Director of the Agency discharge in respect of the implementation of the Agency's budget for the financial year 2010. Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts for the financial year 2010 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Members approve the closure of the Agency’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 observe that, according to the Court of Auditors, the Agency in 2010 the Agency became fully self-financing but that there is scope for its Financial Regulation to be revised to include a mechanism for retaining surplus from the Agency's revenue to finance its future activities. They take note of the Agency's reply which states that it will include a proposal for a mechanism to manage surplus revenue in the upcoming review of its Financial Regulation, and that the Agency has cash reserves for asset management at the European Investment Bank and the Central Bank of Finland. Carryover of appropriations: the committee establishes that the carryovers commitment and payment appropriations, of more than EUR 12million mainly relate to IT costs for support to operations as well as general administration. It also establishes that more than EUR 2 million was cancelled. Members feel that further efforts are needed. Furthermore, as the Agency works with non-dissociated credits in all its Titles, it is unrealistic to expect that all operations budgeted for one calendar year could both be committed and paid up within the same budgetary year, especially for project-type operational expenditure (e.g. IT systems developments). Conflict of interests: bearing in mind that the Agency is involved in decisions of high importance for consumers, and taking into account its exposure due to its importance to industry, the committee is looking forward to receiving and discussing the findings and recommendations of the Special Report of the Court of Auditors on conflict of interest situations to be released before the end of June 2012. It considers that, after the initial build-up phase with a focus on procedures, the Agency needs to ensure that its budget and staff are allocated in a way that allows it to deliver fully on substance, in particular regarding evaluation, restrictions and authorisation. Internal audit: Members consider that the Agency has improved its administrative processes (including financial circuits) and its operational workflow. They note that the Internal Audit Capability performed two assurance internal audits in 2010: one on “Staff back-up Process” and the other one on “Fee Invoicing Process”. Performance: the committee notes that around the end of 2010, two important deadlines passed for REACH and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation. It welcomes, therefore, the fact that the Agency successfully managed to handle the reception and processing of 25 000 registration dossiers on 4 300 chemical substances that are either commonly used in Europe or are the most hazardous and of over 3 million notifications for over 100 000 substances that are classified and have to be labelled to protect the user. It welcomes the Agency’s initiatives for enhancing its customer focus and feedback procedures, and is generally satisfied with the successful operation of the Agency in implementing the Union’s chemicals' legislation. Role of coordinator of the network of agencies: lastly, Members commend the Agency on its effective work as coordinator of the network of agencies during the 2010 discharge procedure. type Committee report tabled for plenary, single reading title A7-0126/2012

activities/6/docs/0/text	added	En adoptant à l’unanimité le rapport de Monica Luisa MACOVEI (PPE, RO) sur la décharge à octroyer à l'Agence européenne des produits chimiques (ECHA), la commission du contrôle budgétaire appelle le Parlement européen à octroyer la décharge au directeur exécutif de l’Agence sur l'exécution du budget de l’Agence pour l'exercice 2010. Constatant que la Cour des comptes avait indiqué avoir obtenu l’assurance raisonnable que les comptes annuels de l’Agence pour l’exercice 2010 étaient fiables et que les opérations sous–jacentes étaient légales et régulières, les députés approuvent la clôture des comptes de l’Agence. Ils font toutefois une série de recommandations dont il faut tenir compte au moment de l’octroi de la décharge, outre les recommandations générales figurant dans le projet de résolution concernant la performance, la gestion financière et le contrôle des agences : Gestion budgétaire et financière : les députés observent que, d'après la Cour des comptes, l'Agence est entièrement autofinancée depuis 2010, mais que son règlement financier est encore susceptible d'être révisé de manière à intégrer un mécanisme permettant de conserver l'excédent de recettes propres afin de financer ses activités futures. Ils prennent acte de la réponse de l'Agence qui précise qu'elle intégrera une proposition de mécanisme de gestion de l'excédent de recettes lors de la révision de son règlement financier. Ils relèvent également que l’Agence a placé des réserves de liquidités auprès de la Banque européenne d’investissement et de la Banque centrale de Finlande à des fins de gestion des actifs ; Reports de crédits : les députés constatent que les reports de crédits d'engagement et de paiement, d'un montant de plus de 12 millions EUR, concernent principalement des dépenses informatiques d'appui et des frais généraux d'administration. Ils constatent également que plus de 2 millions EUR de 2009 ont été annulés. Même si l’Agence a progressé en termes de report de crédits, les députés estiment que des efforts supplémentaires sont nécessaires. Par ailleurs, et, dans la mesure où l'Agence utilise des crédits non dissociés, les députés estiment qu’il est illusoire de s'attendre à ce que toutes les opérations inscrites au budget pour une année civile puissent être à la fois engagées et payées au cours du même exercice budgétaire, en particulier pour ce qui concerne les dépenses opérationnelles liées à des projets (développement de systèmes informatiques, par exemple); Conflits d'intérêts : compte tenu de ce que l’Agence participe à la prise de décisions d’importance majeure pour les consommateurs et compte tenu de son exposition du fait de son importance pour le secteur industriel, les députés attendent avec intérêt de recevoir et d’examiner les résultats et les recommandations du rapport spécial de la Cour des comptes sur les situations de conflits d'intérêts, dont la publication est prévue d’ici la fin du mois de juin 2012. Ils estiment en particulier qu’après la phase initiale de mise en place, l'Agence devrait veiller à une affectation de son budget et de ses effectifs qui lui permette d'avoir un plein rendement sur le fond, en particulier en ce qui concerne l'évaluation, les restrictions et l'autorisation ; Audit interne : les députés estiment que l'Agence a amélioré ses processus administratifs (y compris ses circuits financiers) et son fonctionnement opérationnel. Ils relèvent que le Service d'audit interne (SAI) de l'Agence a procédé à deux audits internes d'assurance en 2010, l'un sur le processus de remplacement du personnel et l'autre sur le processus de facturation des redevances ; Résultats : les députés notent que deux échéances importantes ont été adoptées vers la fin de l'année 2010 en ce qui concerne le règlement-cadre REACH et le règlement relatif à la classification, à l'étiquetage et à l'emballage. Ils se félicitent, dès lors, que l'Agence ait réussi à gérer la réception et le traitement de 25.000 dossiers d'enregistrement pour 4.300 substances chimiques couramment utilisées en Europe ou classées parmi les plus dangereuses, et plus de 3 millions de notifications pour plus de 100.000 substances classées et nécessitant un étiquetage visant à protéger les utilisateurs. Ils saluent en particulier les initiatives de l'Agence visant à développer son approche axée sur le client et à consolider les procédures de retour d'information. De manière générale, les députés se félicitent de la bonne application par l'Agence de la législation de l'Union sur les produits chimiques ; Rôle de coordinateur du réseau des agences : enfin, les députés félicitent l'Agence pour avoir coordonné efficacement le réseau des agences dans le cadre de la procédure de décharge 2010.

La décision d’octroyer la décharge vaut également clôture des comptes pour cette agence communautaire. Constatant que la Cour des comptes avait indiqué avoir obtenu l’assurance raisonnable que les comptes annuels de l’Agence pour l’exercice 2010 étaient fiables et que les opérations sous–jacentes étaient légales et régulières, le Parlement a adopté une résolution contenant une série de recommandations dont il faut tenir compte au moment de l’octroi de la décharge, outre les recommandations générales figurant dans la résolution concernant la performance, la gestion financière et le contrôle des agences. Ces recommandations peuvent se résumer comme suit : Gestion budgétaire et financière : le Parlement observe que l'Agence est financée par des redevances versées par l'industrie pour l'enregistrement des substances chimiques et éventuellement par une contribution de l'Union. Depuis 2010, l'Agence est d’ailleurs entièrement autofinancée. Toutefois, son règlement financier doit encore être révisé de manière à intégrer un mécanisme permettant de conserver l'excédent de recettes propres afin de financer ses activités futures. Il prend acte de la réponse de l'Agence qui précise qu'elle intégrera une proposition de mécanisme de gestion de l'excédent de recettes lors de la révision de son règlement financier. Il relève également que l’Agence a placé des réserves de liquidités auprès de la Banque européenne d’investissement et de la Banque centrale de Finlande à des fins de gestion des actifs ; Reports de crédits : le Parlement constate que les reports de crédits d'engagement et de paiement, d'un montant de plus de 12 millions EUR, concernent principalement des dépenses informatiques d'appui et des frais généraux d'administration.

The European Parliament adopted a decision concerning the granting of discharge to the Executive Director of the European Chemicals Agency in respect of the implementation of the Agency's budget for the financial year 2010. This decision also approves the closure of the Agency’s accounts.

However, the Council considers that observations made in the Court of Auditor's report call for a certain number of remarks: the Council welcomes the Court's opinion that, in all material respects, the Agency'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 Agency's Financial Regulation, and that the underlying transactions for that financial year are legal and regular; the Council notes that the Agency has become fully self-financing. It invites the Commission and the Agency to present proposals for a revision of the Financial Regulation in order to include a mechanism for retaining and managing surplus own revenue to finance the Agency's future activities.

The Committee on Budgetary Control adopted the report by Monica Luisa MACOVEI (PPE, RO) on discharge in respect of the budget of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and called on the European Parliament to grant the Executive Director of the Agency discharge in respect of the implementation of the Agency's budget for the financial year 2010.

Noting that the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts for the financial year 2010 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular, Members approve the closure of the Agency’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 observe that, according to the Court of Auditors, the Agency in 2010 the Agency became fully self-financing but that there is scope for its Financial Regulation to be revised to include a mechanism for retaining surplus from the Agency's revenue to finance its future activities. They take note of the Agency's reply which states that it will include a proposal for a mechanism to manage surplus revenue in the upcoming review of its Financial Regulation, and that the Agency has cash reserves for asset management at the European Investment Bank and the Central Bank of Finland.
- Carryover of appropriations: the committee establishes that the carryovers commitment and payment appropriations, of more than EUR 12million mainly relate to IT costs for support to operations as well as general administration. It also establishes that more than EUR 2 million was cancelled. Members feel that further efforts are needed. Furthermore, as the Agency works with non-dissociated credits in all its Titles, it is unrealistic to expect that all operations budgeted for one calendar year could both be committed and paid up within the same budgetary year, especially for project-type operational expenditure (e.g. IT systems developments).
- Conflict of interests: bearing in mind that the Agency is involved in decisions of high importance for consumers, and taking into account its exposure due to its importance to industry, the committee is looking forward to receiving and discussing the findings and recommendations of the Special Report of the Court of Auditors on conflict of interest situations to be released before the end of June 2012. It considers that, after the initial build-up phase with a focus on procedures, the Agency needs to ensure that its budget and staff are allocated in a way that allows it to deliver fully on substance, in particular regarding evaluation, restrictions and authorisation.
- Internal audit: Members consider that the Agency has improved its administrative processes (including financial circuits) and its operational workflow. They note that the Internal Audit Capability performed two assurance internal audits in 2010: one on “Staff back-up Process” and the other one on “Fee Invoicing Process”.
- Performance: the committee notes that around the end of 2010, two important deadlines passed for REACH and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation. It welcomes, therefore, the fact that the Agency successfully managed to handle the reception and processing of 25 000 registration dossiers on 4 300 chemical substances that are either commonly used in Europe or are the most hazardous and of over 3 million notifications for over 100 000 substances that are classified and have to be labelled to protect the user. It welcomes the Agency’s initiatives for enhancing its customer focus and feedback procedures, and is generally satisfied with the successful operation of the Agency in implementing the Union’s chemicals' legislation.
- Role of coordinator of the network of agencies: lastly, Members commend the Agency on its effective work as coordinator of the network of agencies during the 2010 discharge procedure.

activities/2	added	date 2011-09-06 docs text PURPOSE: presentation of the EU Court of Auditors’ report on the annual accounts of the European Chemicals Agency, together with the Agency’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 Chemicals Agency (ECA). In the Court’s opinion, the Agency’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 Agency for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 are, in all material respects, legal and regular. The report confirms that the Agency’s 2010 budget amounted to EUR 75 million and that the number of staff employed by the Agency at the end of the year was 472. The report also makes a series of observations on the budgetary and financial management of the Agency, accompanied by the latter’s response. The main observations may be summarised as follows: The Court’s observations: in 2010, the Agency became fully self-financing. There is scope for the Agency’s Financial Regulation to be revised to include a mechanism for retaining surplus own revenue to finance the Agency’s future activities. The Agency’s reply: the Agency will include a proposal for mechanism to manage surplus revenue in the upcoming review of the Framework Financial Regulation. Lastly, the Court of Auditors’ report contains a summary of the Agency’s activities in 2010. This is focused on the following: preparation for and handling of submissions under the first REACH registration deadline, including enquiries on chemicals (1 600); evaluation and compliance checks; 16 substances identified for inclusion in the Candidate list in the authorisation process; classification and labelling: number of C&L notifications received: over 3 million for over 100 000 substances. advice and assistance with 10 000 questions answered by helpdesk ; further development of REACH-IT and other scientific IT systems; scientific and Practical Advice for the further development of legislation communication, with 2.5 million website visits from 200 countries. relations with EU Institutions and International Cooperation including with Canada and with the US Environmental Protection Agency. type Court of Auditors: opinion, report title N7-0011/2012 url http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOHtml.do?uri=OJ:C:2011:366:SOM:EN:HTML type Court of Auditors: opinion, report title OJ C 366 15.12.2011, p. 0033 body CoA type Court of Auditors: opinion, report

activities/3	added	date 2011-09-06 docs text PURPOSE: presentation of the EU Court of Auditors’ report on the annual accounts of the European Chemicals Agency, together with the Agency’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 Chemicals Agency (ECA). In the Court’s opinion, the Agency’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 Agency for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 are, in all material respects, legal and regular. The report confirms that the Agency’s 2010 budget amounted to EUR 75 million and that the number of staff employed by the Agency at the end of the year was 472. The report also makes a series of observations on the budgetary and financial management of the Agency, accompanied by the latter’s response. The main observations may be summarised as follows: The Court’s observations: in 2010, the Agency became fully self-financing. There is scope for the Agency’s Financial Regulation to be revised to include a mechanism for retaining surplus own revenue to finance the Agency’s future activities. The Agency’s reply: the Agency will include a proposal for mechanism to manage surplus revenue in the upcoming review of the Framework Financial Regulation. Lastly, the Court of Auditors’ report contains a summary of the Agency’s activities in 2010. This is focused on the following: preparation for and handling of submissions under the first REACH registration deadline, including enquiries on chemicals (1 600); evaluation and compliance checks; 16 substances identified for inclusion in the Candidate list in the authorisation process; classification and labelling: number of C&L notifications received: over 3 million for over 100 000 substances. advice and assistance with 10 000 questions answered by helpdesk ; further development of REACH-IT and other scientific IT systems; scientific and Practical Advice for the further development of legislation communication, with 2.5 million website visits from 200 countries. relations with EU Institutions and International Cooperation including with Canada and with the US Environmental Protection Agency. type Court of Auditors: opinion, report title N7-0011/2012 url http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOHtml.do?uri=OJ:C:2011:366:SOM:EN:HTML type Court of Auditors: opinion, report title OJ C 366 15.12.2011, p. 0033 body type Court of Auditors: opinion, report
