§ 289
First part	‘Is very worried by a noticeable trend in recent Commission proposals to ignore legally binding provisions of Regulation (EU) No 233/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council when it comes to official development assistance eligible expenditure and eligible countries for Development Cooperation Instrument spending; recalls that legality of the Union spending is a key principle of sound financial management and that political considerations should not take precedence over clearly spelled out legal provisions if the Commission wants to remain credible on rule of law issues; reminds the Commission in this context about the recent judgment of the Court of Justice on cooperation with Morocco and the Western Sahara issue,’
Second part	‘in which the Court ruled that the Union has consistently infringed international law;’

Miscellaneous

The vote on the decision on the discharge covered the closure of accounts (see Annex IV, Article 5(1)(a) of the Rules of Procedure).

The vote on the decision on the discharge covered both the Commission and the executive agencies (Regulation (EC) 58/2003, Article 14(3) and Regulation (EC) 1653/2004, Article 66(2).

Amendments 28 and 40 had been cancelled.

Paragraph 187 to read as follows:

"Deplores the adoption by the Romanian government of an ordinance which could have impeded an effective fight against corruption and which, in addition, could have offered the possibility of pardoning politicians who may have been implicated in illegal acts; considers that such new legislative measures could have a very negative impact on the Commission’s endeavour to protect the Union’s financial interests as Romania is an important recipient of structural funds; calls on the Commission to inform its competent committee about the measures taken by the Commission to address the situation;"

13. Discharge 2015: Court of Auditors' special reports in the context of the 2015 Commission discharge

14. Discharge 2015: EU general budget - 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th EDFs

Miscellaneous

Paragraph 5 to read:
“5. Notes with concern how the existing voluntary initiatives for the sustainability of the garment sector’s global supply chain have fallen short of effectively addressing human rights and labour rights-related issues in the sector; calls on the Commission, therefore, to go beyond the presentation of a Staff Working Document and to propose binding legislation on due diligence obligations for supply chains in the garment sector; stresses that this legislative proposal must be aligned with the new OECD due diligence guidance for responsible supply chains in the garment and footwear sector in line with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises which are importing into the European Union, the ILO resolution on decent work in supply chains and internationally agreed human rights, social and environmental standards;”
Paragraph 6 to read:
“Emphasises that the new OECD due diligence guidance for responsible supply chains in the garment and footwear sector in line with the OECD Guidelines should be the leading principle in the Commission legislative proposal; stresses that this legislative proposal should include core standards, such as occupational health and safety, health standards, a living wage, freedom of association and collective bargaining, the prevention of sexual harassment and violence in the workplace and the elimination of forced and child labour; calls on the Commission to further address the following matters: key criteria for sustainable production, transparency and traceability, including the transparent collection of data and tools for consumer information, due diligence checks and auditing, access to remedy, gender equality, children’s rights, supply-chain due diligence reporting, the responsibility of companies in the event of man-made disasters and awareness raising in the European Union; encourages the Commission to acknowledge other national legislative proposals and initiatives that have the same goal as the legislation, once those proposals and initiatives have been audited and shown to meet the requirements of the European legislation;”
