§ 344
First part	'Takes the view that heads of Union delegations should be clearly reminded of their duties during their recruitment and pre-posting in terms of management, their responsibility in the management assurance related to their delegation portfolios of operations (key management processes, control management, adequate understanding and assessment of the KPI), providing qualitative and exhaustive reporting in the context of the establishment of the annual activity report'
Second part	and urged not only to concentrate on the political component of their duties;'
Verts/ALE:
Amendment 18
First part	'Notes that the impact of the Russian import ban on agricultural products, which struck mid-way through 2014, is a major challenge; advocates better management in the early phase of any emergency measures to ensure correct targeting of funds or, where necessary, the prompt recovery of amounts unlawfully claimed; warns against the TTIP agreement, the implementation of which threatens European health and environmental standards and would further aggravate the livestock crisis;'
Second part	'calls for the lifting of sanctions against Russia in order to negotiate as soon as possible the reopening of that market;'

Requests for split votes
PPE:
Amendment 52
First part	'Is concerned by the fact that responsibility for meeting organisation and conference management is scattered across different DGs'
Second part	'and is worried by the recent unprecedented closures of some language booths due to insufficient recruitment of interpreters; calls urgently upon the Secretary-General to improve the system of requesting interpretation and to address the concerns of recruitment of interpreters;'
§ 13
First part	'Notes that there was an inconsistency between the dates of the presentation of the draft report for the Parliament discharge and the scope for tabling additional questions to the Secretary-General;'
Second part	'urges the Secretary-General to provide answers before the vote in committee to the questions presented by the rapporteur;'
§ 14
First part	'Notes that the Secretary-General only replied to the additional questions of the Members less than 24 hours before the deadline for amendments;'
Second part	'urges the Secretary-General to improve this situation;'
§ 26
First part	'Recalls that a maximum of 80 officials from the EESC and the Committee of the Regions (from the translation service and assistants) will be transferred to Parliament under this agreement, who will work for the new European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS); takes the view that this transfer should make it possible for Parliament’s in-house productivity to increase with fewer budgetary means devoted to outsourcing studies, assessments or evaluations;'
Second part	'notes with concern that, up to now, 25 officials from the EESC and 24 officials from the Committee of the Regions have been transferred to the EPRS, for the most part very near to retirement age, whereby the EESC and the Committee of the Regions will make significant savings in staff chapters while Parliament’s budget will increase considerably in the short term (salaries) and in the medium and long term (pensions);'
§ 53
First part	'Recalls that the new Members' research service began to provide a dedicated research capability for individual Members through briefing publications across all major policy fields; points out that in its first full year of activity the research service generated over 450 publications, responded to 1 675 requests for research from Members and dealt with 745 similar requests from Parliament’s other clients; notes that this facility grants access to a large amount of pertinent information that should significantly reduce recourse to external expertise, representing a considerable saving;'
Second part	'calls for all briefings on topics in key areas to be translated into the official languages of the Member States;'
§ 83
First part	'Deplores the fact that the Bureau has failed to take any action at all in response to paragraph 71 of Parliament’s resolution of 29 April 2015;'
Second part	'calls on the Bureau to take the necessary measures as a matter of urgency to ensure that the composition of the advisory committee on harassment and its prevention at the workplace responsible for APAs is balanced and that it includes at least two representatives of the APAs;'
§ 84
First part	Text as a whole excluding the words 'points out that staffing and technical resources were insufficient to avoid delays in the signing of contracts for some assistants, interruption of contracts, and delays in the calculation of expenses and other allowances, and hence in the payment of salaries;'
Second part	those words
§ 85
First part	Text as a whole excluding the words 'arising from possible maladministration by the institution'
Second part	those words
§ 135
First part	'Welcomes additional measures to offset unavoidable emissions; calls on Parliament to develop further CO2 offsetting policies'
Second part	'such as the possibility of offsetting for accredited parliamentary assistants'
Verts/ALE:
§ 126
First part	Text as a whole excluding the words 'the highest'
Second part	those words
S&D:
Amendment 34
First part	'Urges the Parliament to adopt rules in order to disclose all input received from lobbyists/interest representatives on draft policies, laws and amendments as a 'legislative footprint';'
Second part	'suggests that this legislative footprint should consist of a form annexed to reports, detailing all the lobbyists with whom those in charge of a particular file have met in the process of drawing up each report, clearly indicating which lobbyists had a substantial effect on that file and a second document listing all written input received, online on their official webpage of Parliament, directly linked to the Transparency Register, and for rapporteurs to publish a legislative footprint;'

Miscellaneous

The vote on the decision on the discharge covered the closure of accounts (see Annex V, Article 5(1)(a) of the Rules of Procedure).
Amendments 23 and 24 had been cancelled,

Amendments 30, 38, 39, 41, 42, 43 and 53 had been withdrawn.

Markus Pieper moved an oral amendment to Amendment 36, which then read as follows:

"69. Notes that the expenditure on the LUX Film Prize itself in 2014 amounted to EUR 391 506, which is significantly reduced from previous years (2013: EUR 448 000; 2012: EUR 434 421) and which covered the official selection, the competition including subtitling into the Union's 24 official languages and prints for screenings in the 28 Member States, and the awards ceremony;

Recalls that advertising and promoting the LUX Film Prize, together with the Sakharov prize and women's rights, aims to illustrate Parliament's commitment to consensual values such as human rights and solidarity, as well as its commitment to cultural and linguistic diversity;

regrets the fact that the result of a survey on awareness and impact of the LUX-Prize, requested in the 2013 discharge report, is not yet available; calls for the results of this study to be available to the public by mid-May 2016 and an official presentation of the results to be made to its Committee on the Budgetary Control and its Committee on Culture and Education;"

S&D:
§ 3
First part	'Notes that the Court's report emphasised the fact that the Council conclusions adopted on 7 July 2010 approved EUR 6 600 000 000 (in 2008 values) for the Joint Undertaking contribution to the ITER construction phase of the project; notes that that figure, which doubled the initial budgeted costs for this phase of the project, did not include EUR 663 000 000 proposed by the Commission in 2010 to cover potential contingencies; acknowledges that the ITER Organization set up a Reserve Fund with the aim of providing a clearer mechanism that compensates the domestic agencies for design changes and provides incentives for the internal organisation to adopt solutions that minimise costs in an attempt to rectify the weakness identified by 2013 ITER Management Assessment;'
