GENERAL BUDGET
-
The follow-up report to the
discharge for the 2012 financial
year (Rapporteur: Markus Pieper
(EPP)) focused on the binding
commitments required from the
Commission in response to the
Commission's own reservations
endorsed by the European
Parliament in its general discharge
resolutions, as well as on other key requests as regards the
error rates, the improvement of the evaluation report
(article 318 TFEU) and the actions concerning revenues and
traditional own resources.
The Commission adopted the Synthesis Report on the basis
of the assurances and reservations made by its DirectorsGeneral and Heads of Service in their Annual Activity
Reports. The Commission is of the opinion that by doing so
it takes overall political responsibility for management of
the EU budget. In the report, the Commission also
identified the key management issues to be addressed as a
matter of priority and the action to be taken to address
identified weaknesses.
The Annual Report to the Discharge Authority on internal
audits, carried out in 2013, is based on the audit and
consulting work done by the Internal Audit Services in 2013
in the Commission Directorates- General and executive
agencies. It includes information on significant risk
exposure, control issues and governance aspects.
This is the second year that the Commission has adopted a
Communication on the protection of the European Union
Budget. This communication was requested by the
European Parliament in the context of the 2011 discharge
procedure. It aims, in particular at illustrating in real terms
how the EU budget is protected from expenditure incurred
8/12
PV\1037367IT.doc
in breach of the law and how the Members States are
involved and impacted.
The Synthesis Report was sent to Members on 15 July 2014.
The follow-up to the discharge for the 2012 financial year
was sent to Members on 30 September 2014.
The Communication on the protection of the European
Union Budget to end 2013 was sent to Members on 2
October 2014.
The Annual Report to the Discharge Authority on internal
audits carried out in 2013 was sent to Members on 6
October 2014.
All four documents are available on the Committee's
website.

Algirdas Šemeta
5. EXCHANGE OF VIEWS WITH COMMISSIONER
ŠEMETA ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A
CONTROLLER FOR PROCEDURAL GUARANTEES
AND THE FUTURE OF THE OLAF SUPERVISORY
COMMITTEE
Appointment
of
the
new
Supervisory Committee (SC) of
the European Anti-Fraud Office
(OLAF)
The procedure for the appointment of the new OLAF-SC
was on the agenda of the CONT Coordinators meeting of
22 July. At that moment, Coordinators decided to postpone
the in-depth discussion in order that Commissioner Šemeta
could be heard first.
It should be recalled that the CONT Chair asked the
Commissioner to open the procedure for appointing new
members of the OLAF-SC, including the establishment of a
reserve list by letter of 14 November 2013.
Commissioner Šemeta replied to that letter on 6 February
2014 with a proposal for launching an appointment
procedure for the next five regular OLAF-SC members, and
also for a reserve list. In his letter of 6 February, the
Commissioner suggested that a reserve list of seven
PV\1037367IT.doc
9/12
PE539.840
IT
persons be established and that the same professional and
personal criteria for the appointment of the members of the
OLAF-SC could be used as in 2012. By letter of 18 June the
Council agreed, generally speaking, with Commissioner
Šemeta’s proposal.
CONT has requested the Conference of Presidents to
receive a mandate for entering into discussions with the
other institutions. The Conference of Presidents is expected
to decide on the mandate in mid-October.
The establishment of a
guarantees
Controller for procedural
In June 2013, the Commission adopted a proposal for a
Regulation amending Regulation no 883/2013, as regards
the establishment of a Controller for procedural
guarantees.
The proposal aims at strengthening further the procedural
guarantees in place for all persons under investigation by
the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF). The proposal also
intends to take into account the special way in which
members of EU institutions were elected or appointed and
the functioning of the respective institution.
The Controller, a person with senior legal expertise in the
field of fundamental and criminal law, would have two main
tasks:
 Reviewing complaints lodged by persons under
investigation concerning violations of their
procedural guarantees, and
 Authorising OLAF to conduct certain investigative
measures in respect of members of EU institutions
The creation of such a function, or a very similar one, was
already under discussion when the previous OLAF
Regulation was revised. At that time no agreement could
be found between the co-legislators. However it should be
noted that this proposal has been the subject of criticism
from various sides.
According to the results of the impact assessment, the
policy objectives could be reached most effectively by
appointing an external Controller of procedural guarantees
who would act on complaints and authorise certain
investigative measures related to members of the
institutions. Administratively the function would be
attached to the Commission (special advisor).
The costs are estimated at EUR 2.7 million under the
current multi-annual financial framework.

On 8 September, CONT held an exchange of views with
Sean Van Raepenbusch, President of the European Union
Civil Service Tribunal, Louis Galea, Member of the
European Court of Auditors, Johan Denolf, Chairman of the
OLAF Supervisory Committee and Lambros Papadias, Head
of Complaints & Inquiries Unit 3 of the Office of the
European Ombudsman about the Commission proposal.
Commissioner Šemeta could only give at this occasion a
brief introduction due to conflicting engagements.
