                  having regard to the Financial Rules of the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking adopted by Decision of its Governing Board on 7 November 2008,

                  having regard to Opinion No 2/2011 on the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking’s Financial Rules, delivered by the Court of Auditors on 8 February 2011,

                  —

                  having regard to Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002 of 19 November 2002 on the framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (5), and in particular Article 94 thereof,

                  —

                  having regard to Rule 77 of, and Annex VI to, its Rules of Procedure,

                  —

                  having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control (A7-0086/2013),

                  A.

                  whereas the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking (‘the Joint Undertaking’) was set up in December 2007 for a period of 10 years to accelerate the development, validation and demonstration of clean air transport technologies in the Union for earliest possible deployment;

                  B.

                  whereas the Joint Undertaking started to work autonomously in November 2009;

                  C.

                  whereas the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that annual accounts of the Joint Undertaking for the financial year 2011 are reliable;

                  D.

                  whereas the Court of Auditors has delivered a qualified opinion on the legality and the regularity of the transactions underlying the Joint Undertaking’s accounts;

                  E.

                  whereas the maximum contribution for the period of 10 years from the Union to the Joint Undertaking is EUR 800 000 000 to be paid from the budget of the Seventh Research Framework Programme;

         Budgetary and Financial Management

                  1.

                  Takes note that the Joint Undertaking’s final amending budget for the financial year 2011 included commitment appropriations of EUR 175 000 000 and payment appropriations of EUR 159 800 000; further acknowledges that the utilisation rates for commitment and payment appropriations were 94 % and 64 % respectively; calls for a detailed progress report on those shortcomings which makes specific proposals for a gradual improvement in utilisation rates;

                  2.

                  Expresses concern that the low rate for the payment appropriation reflects delays in the implementation of the Joint Undertaking’s activities include significant delays between the publication of the calls for proposals and the signature of the grant agreements; urges the Joint Undertaking to implement the necessary measures to avoid such delays reducing the average time between the publication of the call for proposals and the signature of the Joint Undertaking grant agreements from the 291 days of the first call of 2011;

                  3.

                  Emphasises the fact that the low implementation of the budget turns out in excessive cash balance which stood at EUR 51 000 000 at the end of the year, representing 32 % of the available payment appropriations for 2011;

                  4.

                  Regrets the fact that the Joint Undertaking, in contravention of its Financial Rules, carried over EUR 68 000 000 of payment appropriations to 2012, without a decision by the Governing Board;

                  5.

                  Acknowledges the significant delays which occurred in 2011 in receiving the cost claims from grant agreements with Members and that the validation of a large number of claims could not, therefore, be completed for the final accounts; notes that the related in-kind contributions of EUR 52 000 000 could not be approved by the Governing Board in due time and, as a consequence, were not registered under net assets but reflected under liabilities; takes note that, as a consequence, the Joint Undertaking reported negative net assets of EUR 18 500 000 since the final accounts reflect this transitional situation that does not indicate any risk of solvency for the Joint Undertaking;

                  6.

                  Is concerned that annual accounts of the Joint Undertaking received a qualified opinion from the Court of Auditors on the legality and the regularity of the transactions underlying those accounts on the grounds that the error rate resulting from the ex post audits was 6,16 %; notes that the Joint Undertaking completed ex-post audits covering EUR 44 300 000 (18,8 % of all cost claims received by the Joint Undertaking in the triennium beginning in 2008); regrets that the error rate resulting from those ex post audits was 6,16 % and 4,09 % when taking into account the corrective actions implemented such as a recovery mechanism; reiterates that the Joint Undertaking should reinforce without delay the quality of its ex-ante controls related to the grant management; requests that the discharge authority is informed of the results of the following ex-post audit processes conducted by the Joint Undertaking and that a detailed progress report be produced which makes specific proposals for a gradual reduction in error rates;

         Internal control systems

                  7.

                  Notes from the Court of Auditors that the Joint Undertaking has not completely implemented its internal controls and financial information systems during 2011 including the new tool to manage the data relating to the cost claims submitted by the members and beneficiaries and that further work is needed on the ex ante control procedures applied for the validation of cost claims; urges the Joint Undertaking to implement the necessary measures for finalising its internal controls and financial information systems and the tools deemed necessary;

                  8.

                  Regrets to be informed that the following weaknesses were noted in the ex-ante control procedures applied to cost claims submitted:

                              —

                              the checklists used for the ex ante control on cost claims were not always complete,

                              —

                              in one case, the audit certificate accompanying the cost claim of an associate included exceptions affecting personnel costs and subcontracting however no adjustment to the cost claim was made as a result of these exceptions,

                              —

                              contrary to the manual of financial procedures, there is no evidence that the operational agents are also verifying the financial aspects of the implementation of the contracts, and

                              —

                              in at least three transactions, the financial verifying and the authorising officer functions were the responsibility of the head of administration, contrary to the provisions of the manual of financial procedures and the principle of segregation of duties;

                  9.

                  Acknowledges that the Accounting Officer completed the validation exercise of the underlying business processes in March 2012, as required by the Joint Undertaking’s Financial Rules; notes that a number of recommendations were made in the Accounting Officer’s validation report, in particular the need to improve the system for the validation of cost claims and the implementation of a tool to properly report to management, on budgetary and accounting matters;

                  10.

                  Notes that in 2011, the Commission’s Internal Audit Service carried out a risk assessment exercise and that based on the results of that risk assessment a strategic audit plan for 2012-2014 was presented to the Governing Board for adoption; recalls that the Joint Undertaking started to work autonomously in November 2009;

                  11.

                  Takes note that the procedure for issuing recovery orders relating to the Joint Undertaking’s running costs was not properly applied as the request to the members to pay their 2011 contributions was not accompanied by the cash-flow forecast as required under the funding agreement;

         Other management matters

                  12.

                  Notes the Court of Auditors’ finding that at the end of 2011, the Joint Undertaking had not yet completed the internal procedures to be used for the supervision of the application of the provisions regarding the protection, use and dissemination of research results;

                  13.

                  Reiterates that the Court of Auditors’ suggested in its Opinion of 2011 on the Joint Undertaking’s Financial Rules that a number of areas needed to be amended to but this procedure has not yet been completed; welcomes that the Joint Undertaking will amend its Financial Rules together with the update to the framework financial regulation;

                  14.

                  Notes that during 2011, the Joint Undertaking set up a Business Continuity Plan and made progress on the formalisation of the IT security policies and essential elements of a Disaster Recovery Plan have been defined however further work is needed to finalise and approve it;

                  15.

                  Welcomes the fact that the Host State Agreement between the Joint Undertaking and the Belgian authorities concerning office accommodation, privileges and immunities and other support was signed on February 2012;

         Other issues

                  16.

                  Reiterates its invitation for the Court of Auditors to provide, within a reasonable deadline, a special report to Parliament on common issues which occur due to the nature of the joint undertakings, and which should be addressed by the joint undertakings together with their partners in order to ensure their added value and efficient execution of Union research, technological development and demonstration programmes; notes, furthermore, that that report should include an assessment of the effectiveness of the joint undertakings’ establishment and structure.

         DECISION (EU) 2015/811 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
   of 27 March 2015
   on public access to European Central Bank documents in the possession of the national competent authorities (ECB/2015/16)
   THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
   Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 34 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 conferring specific tasks on the European Central Bank concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions (1), and in particular Article 6(1) in conjunction with Article 6(7) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Supervisory Board and in consultation with the national competent authorities,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The regime on public access to European Central Bank (ECB) documents is laid down in Decision ECB/2004/3 (2).

               (2)

               ECB documents may be in the possession of the national competent authorities as a result of their duty to assist the ECB, to cooperate in good faith and to exchange information with the ECB pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013. The performance of supervisory tasks conferred on the ECB and the effective functioning of the single supervisory mechanism may be hampered if the ECB is not consulted on the scope of access to be granted in respect of ECB documents in the possession of the national competent authorities or, if alternatively, requests for access to such documents are not referred to the ECB. Therefore, requests for access to such documents should either be referred to the ECB or the ECB should be consulted prior to any decision on disclosure,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Definitions
   For the purposes of this Decision:

               (1)

               ‘document’ and ‘ECB document’ shall mean any content whatever its medium (written on paper or stored in electronic form or as a sound, visual or audiovisual recording) drawn up or held by the ECB and relating to its policies, activities or decisions under Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013;

               (2)

               ‘national competent authority’ (NCA) shall have the meaning assigned to it in point (2) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013. This meaning is without prejudice to arrangements under national law that assign certain supervisory tasks to a national central bank (NCB) that is not designated as an NCA. With regard to such arrangements, a reference to an NCA in this Decision shall also refer to the NCB in respect of the supervisory tasks assigned to it by national law.

         Article 2
   Documents at the NCAs
   Where an NCA receives a request for an ECB document in its possession, the NCA shall consult the ECB on the scope of access to be granted, prior to taking a decision on disclosure, unless it is clear that the document shall or shall not be disclosed.
   Alternatively, the NCA may refer the request to the ECB.
   Article 3
   Taking effect
   This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification to the addressees.
   Article 4
   Addressees
   This Decision is addressed to the NCAs.

         DECISION (EU) 2016/618 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
   of 13 April 2016
   on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (application from Sweden — EGF/2015/009 SE/Volvo Trucks)
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 (1), and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,
   Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (2), and in particular point 13 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) aims to provide support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation, as a result of a continuation of the global financial and economic crisis, or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis, and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

               (2)

               The EGF is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 12 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (3).

               (3)

               On 16 September 2015, Sweden submitted an application EGF/2015/009 SE/Volvo Trucks for a financial contribution from the EGF, following redundancies in Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group Truck Operation, EMEA) and four suppliers and downstream producers in Sweden. It was supplemented by additional information provided in accordance with Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013. The application complies with the requirements for determining a financial contribution from the EGF as laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013.

               (4)

               The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of EUR 1 793 710 in respect of the application submitted by Sweden.

               (5)

               In order to minimise the time taken to mobilise the EGF, this decision should apply from the date of its adoption,

         HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2016, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 1 793 710 in commitment and payment appropriations.
   Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 13 April 2016.

      DECISION No 234/2008/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE CONCIL

   of 11 March 2008
   establishing the European Statistical Advisory Committee and repealing Council Decision 91/116/EEC
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
   After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
   Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The consultation of users and producers of statistical information as well as respondents to requests for such information is essential for the preparation and development of the Community’s statistical information policy.

               (2)

               The European Advisory Committee on Statistical Information in the Economic and Social Spheres set up by Council Decision 91/116/EEC (3) currently assists the Council and the Commission in the coordination of the objectives of the Community’s statistical information policy, taking into account user requirements and the costs borne by information providers and producers.

               (3)

               The European Advisory Committee on Statistical Information in the Economic and Social Spheres has been of use but changes that have taken place in the Community, in particular its enlargement to 27 Member States, require that a number of modifications be made to the role, mandate, composition and procedures of that Committee. In the interests of clarity, it is appropriate to replace that Committee by a new European Statistical Advisory Committee (the Committee).

               (4)

               The Committee should contribute to a close cooperation in the programme-planning process in order to improve the governance of the European Statistical System and enhance the quality of Community statistics. To this effect, close collaboration should be maintained with the Statistical Programme Committee established by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (4) and with the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics established by Council Decision 91/115/EEC (5).

               (5)

               A balance should be achieved between the need to reduce membership in order to enable the Committee to work efficiently in an enlarged Community on the one hand, and the need to allow representation of all stakeholders in Community statistics, as requested in the Council conclusions of 8 November 2005, on the other.

               (6)

               In order to meet the objectives of better assessing and balancing the benefits and costs of Community statistical requirements and rebalancing and reducing the burden of Community statistical legislation, so facilitating compliance with increasing demand, the Committee should play a stronger role in preparing and implementing the Community statistical programme.

               (7)

               The Committee should serve as a channel for advice from users, respondents and producers of statistical information on the objectives of the Community’s statistical information policy.

               (8)

               Decision 91/116/EEC should therefore be repealed,

         HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

   on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, in accordance with point 13 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (EGF/2014/000 TA 2014 — Technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission)

               (1)

               The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activities have ceased as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation, as a result of a continuation of the global financial and economic crisis addressed in Regulation (EC) No 546/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis, and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

               —

               having regard to the Commission delegated regulation of 8 October 2014 (C(2014)7164),

               —

               having regard to the Commission’s letter of 23 October 2014 asking Parliament to declare that it will raise no objections to the delegated regulation,

               —

               having regard to the letter of 4 November 2014 from the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs to the Chair of the Conference of Committee Chairs,

               —

               having regard to Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

               —

               having regard to Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2014 establishing uniform rules and a uniform procedure for the resolution of credit institutions and certain investment firms in the framework of a Single Resolution Mechanism and a Single Resolution Fund and amending Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 (1), and in particular points (a), (b) and (c) of Article 65(5) thereof,

               —

               having regard to the recommendation for a decision by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs,

               —

               having regard to Rule 105(6) of its Rules of Procedure,

               A.

               whereas Article 42 of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 (the SRM Regulation) provides for the establishment of the Single Resolution Board (the Board) as of 19 August 2014 in the form of a European Union agency;

               B.

               whereas Article 98 of the SRM Regulation requires the Board to be fully operational as of 1 January 2015;

               C.

               whereas the Board is to have an autonomous budget which is not part of the Union budget and is to be financed through contributions from the banking sector, in particular contributions for the administrative expenditures of the Board to be paid by the credit institutions, parent undertakings, investment firms and financial institutions that are covered by the SRM Regulation;

               D.

               whereas Article 65(5) of the SRM Regulation empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts on contributions in order to determine the type and the calculation of contributions, and in particular the annual contributions necessary to cover the administrative expenditure of the Board before it becomes fully operational;

               E.

               whereas the Commission adopted on 8 October 2014, in line with the aforementioned empowerment, the Commission delegated regulation on the provisional system of instalments on contributions to cover the administrative expenditures of the Single Resolution Board during the provisional period;

               F.

               whereas this delegated regulation may enter into force at the end of the scrutiny period of Parliament and the Council only if no objection has been expressed by either Parliament or the Council or if, before the expiry of that period, both Parliament and the Council have informed the Commission that they will not object; whereas the scrutiny period has been set, pursuant to Article 93(6) of the SRM Regulation, at three months from the date of notification, i.e. until 8 January 2015, and may be extended by a further three months;

               G.

               whereas, in order for the Board to be functioning smoothly by 1 January 2015, the latter will need to have its funding arrangements in place as soon as possible, and in any event before 1 January 2015, thus allowing it to cover the first administrative expenditures (staff remuneration, infrastructure, administrative and operational expenses) from own resources;

               H.

               whereas the aforementioned delegated regulation should therefore enter into force in 2014, before the expiry of the scrutiny period referred to in recital F;

               1.

               Declares that it has no objections to the delegated regulation;

               2.

               Instructs its President to forward this decision to the Council and the Commission.
