(Lire la suite)

This analytical study focused on the legal and practical/ethical dimensions of the appointment of senior-level officials in the European Union (EU) institutions, and in a selection of Member States and in different European/international organisations. Focusing on the four instances of maladministration identified by the European Ombudsman with regard to the appointment of the new Secretary-General of the European Commission , the contractor makes a number of recommendations on how the appointment procedures could be further improved.

The presentation of the study was followed by an exchange of views with Commissioner Oettinger, Dieter Wils, the Chair of the European Parliament's Staff Committee, Ignazio Iacono, the Chair of the European Commission's Staff Committee and Kristian Knudsen, the European Parliament's Director-General for Human Resources.

On 11 April 2019, the Budgetary Control Committee held a workshop on Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) as an effective tool of the cohesion policy.

The workshop intended to analyse and debate the functioning of the ITI from a budgetary control perspective, with particular attention to the need for simplification of rules, the reduction of regulation and the effectiveness of the investments involved.

The speakers list included representatives from the EU Institutions - Commission and Court of Auditors - and from the academic world, as well as national operators involved in the day by day programming and implementation of the ITI in the Czech Republic and Italy.

Rapporteur: Martina Dlabajová (ALDE)

EU Member States' National Declarations

12-04-2019 - 11:01

On 11 April 2019 the Budgetary Control Committee held an exchange of views with Commission representatives and Eva Lindström, Member of the European Court of Auditors, about Member States' national declarations.

National declarations are a public accountability instrument, they strengthen the provision of assurance in the management of EU funds, and demonstrate the political commitment towards sound financial management. Currently there is no legal obligation for Member States to provide national declarations. The exchange of views with Ms Eva Lindström and Mr Olivier Waelbroeck, Director "Central Financial Service" (DG BUDG), aimed to explore ways to further promote the national declarations.

Rapporteur: Ingeborg Gräßle (EPP)

Study on Appointment procedures in the EU institutions

01-04-2019 - 16:19

This analytical study focuses on the legal and practical/ethical dimensions of the appointment of senior-level officials in the European Union (EU) institutions, and a selection of Member States and different European/international organisations. Focusing on the four instances of maladministration identified by the European Ombudsman with regard to the appointment of the new Secretary-General (SG) of the European Commission (EC) this study recommends inter alia:

that a special appointment procedure should be adopted for the appointment of the SG of the EC; amending Articles 7 and Article 29 of the Staff Regulations to improve their clarity and limit chances of misapplication/maladministration; for the Ombudsman to be capable of bringing a judicial review procedure; looking into the possible ways in which EU citizens and organisations may be involved in shaping the institutional policies on appointments; promoting the professionalisation of selection committees; addressing inefficiencies in appointment procedures and clarifying criteria (on exceptions, publication of vacancies etc.); enhancing the transparency of appointment procedures and strengthening independent monitoring of appointment procedures; broadening the choice of candidates; considering the introduction of external independent expertise in appointment procedures; a role for the European Parliament, e.g. pre-appointment hearings of SG.
