European Chemicals Agency, together with the Agencys 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 Courts opinion, the Agencys 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 Agencys 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 latters response. The main observations may be summarised as follows:

The Agencys reply:
Lastly, the Court of Auditors report contains a summary of the Agencys activities in 2010. This is focused on the following:
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:
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 lAgence pour l'exercice 2010. La décision doctroyer la décharge vaut également clôture des comptes pour cette agence communautaire.
Constatant que la Cour des comptes avait indiqué avoir obtenu lassurance raisonnable que les comptes annuels de lAgence pour lexercice 2010 étaient fiables et que les opérations sousjacentes étaient légales et régulières, le Parlement a adopté une résolution contenant une série de recommandations dont il faut tenir compte au moment de loctroi 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 :
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:
