Part 6: Information on financial corrections and recoveries in the

Structural Funds

  • 1. 
    INTRODUCTION

It is important for the Commission to have reliable information on all types of financial corrections and recoveries resulting from Commission, European Court of Auditors and Member States audit activities. The Commission needs this information to perform its supervisory role and to provide evidence that the multi-annual control system is working, as financial corrections and recoveries are generally carried out in years subsequent to the one in which the respective payments from the Union budget were made.

In its most recent annual reports the European Court of Auditors noted weaknesses in the information provided by the Commission on reporting of financial corrections by Member States. In the Annual Report for 2008, the Court noted that the Commission reports reliable information on financial corrections as long as they result from its own audit activities. Based on the Court's observations, the European Parliament and the Council have been consistently calling for detailed, complete and easily readable information on financial corrections and recoveries to be published and regularly updated.

The Commission now regularly publishes this information. Figures on corrections and recoveries resulting from Commission audit work, audit work by the Court of Auditors and OLAF investigations have been provided in the explanatory notes to the Commission's accounts since 2006. Since the beginning of 2008 the Commission has also been reporting corrections resulting from its work and that of other EU bodies to the Parliament on a quarterly basis, under the Action Plan to strengthen the Commission's supervisory role in the shared management of structural action

1.

Information on corrections by the Member States has been provided in annexes to the Annual Report on the Implementation of the Structural Funds since 2006

For a detailed explanation of the terminology and procedures in the area of financial corrections and recoveries and the reporting of irregularities, reference is made to the annex on financial correction and recoveries in the Annual Report on the Implementation of the Structural Funds for 2006.

    FINANCIAL CORRECTION ACTIVITY AND RECOVERIES BY MEMBER STATES

2.1. Execution of financial corrections (withdrawals and recoveries) by Member States for the 2000-2006 period

As in previous years, the Commission wrote to Member States reminding them of the requirement to provide updated information on their financial corrections (reported as withdrawals, recoveries and pending recoveries) of Structural Funds both for 2009 and cumulatively for the whole 2000-2006 period, and for all four funds (ERDF, ESF, EAGGF and FIFG). The figures shown below have been compiled on the basis of the data reported by Member States and take account of the results of the analysis by the Directorate-General for Regional Policy which has led to adjustments of certain data. Letters are sent to Member States where the Commission's analysis reveals inconsistencies or apparent anomalies.

In their reports on financial corrections, the Member States are asked to distinguish between `withdrawals' and `recoveries'. The distinction is as follows. When correcting irregular expenditure Member States have a choice between

withdrawing the expenditure affected from the programme immediately by

deducting it from the next statement of expenditure submitted to the Commission, thereby immediately releasing the EU funding for commitment to other operations; or

leaving the expenditure for the time being in the programme pending the outcome

of proceedings to recover the unduly paid amount from the beneficiaries and removing the expenditure once the recovery has been effected

    Recovery is made

and Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006, as amended by Regulation (EC)

No 846/2009.

In addition, Member States are required to report the amounts awaiting recovery (i.e. subject to a recovery procedure but not yet recovered), or `pending recoveries'.

2.1.1. Withdrawals and recoveries deducted from statements of expenditure for 2009 and pending recoveries as at 31.12.2009

2.1.3 Verifications of reported data on corrections

In 2008 and 2009 the Commission carried out, with the assistance of external consultants, on-the-spot verifications of the data on financial corrections reported by nineteen Member States (ten Member States -- Belgium, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and the United Kingdom -- were visited in 2008 and another nine -- Finland, Austria, Poland, the Netherlands, Hungary, Sweden, Cyprus, Latvia and Germany -- were visited in 2009) to assess their reliability and completeness. Visits to the remaining Member States will be carried out in 2010.

The results of these verifications show that most Member States have well functioning systems, which provide complete and reliable figures on financial corrections. Nonetheless, in certain Member States there are problems, linked mainly to the completeness of data, the classification of withdrawals and recoveries and the reliability of supporting procedures and systems. The Commission made appropriate recommendations to improve procedures and to complete the data reported for the year 2009 or, at the latest, at the closure of the programmes. These corrections have resulted, in some cases, in differences in classification or amounts from the prior year. In addition, the Commission issued in early 2010 a guidance note on Member States' reporting to provide practical guidance on the requirements for the 2007-2013 programming period and the remainder of the 2000-2006 period

2006 Annual Accounts, distinguishing between corrections by formal Commission decision and those accepted by Member States without a decision. Under a commitment given in the 2006 discharge procedure, from 2008 onwards the Commission has been reporting information on corrections on a quarterly basis to the European Parliament.

The financial corrections for 2009 and cumulatively for both programming periods 1994-1999 and 2000-2006, as reported in the notes to the Commission's 2009 Annual Accounts, are reproduced below with a breakdown by Member State.

There is a risk of overlap between the figures reported for financial corrections resulting from the work of EU bodies presented here and those reported by Member States shown in section 2. This is because a large proportion of the financial corrections resulting from the work of the Commission and the Court of Auditors and from OLAF investigations are accepted by the Member States and implemented by them without a formal Commission decision by withdrawing the expenditure concerned from their expenditure declarations. As Member States are not obliged to distinguish corrections resulting from EU bodies' work from those due to their own controls and audits, the extent of this overlap cannot be precisely quantified.

    CONCLUSION

The measures taken by the Commission over the past years have led to a substantial improvement in the quality and completeness of the information on financial corrections and recoveries that is available in the Commission.

The internal procedures set up to ensure reliable recording and reporting of financial corrections resulting from the audit work of the Commission and other EU bodies in the cohesion policy area now work satisfactorily; a fact that has been acknowledged by the Court of Auditors in its Annual Report for 2008. The Commission routinely reports on a quarterly basis with a review and any necessary adjustments at the end of the year.

need for further efforts in certain countries, for which appropriate recommendations have been issued. The Member States have received further guidance through the guidance note

9 on the reporting of financial corrections by Member States in the

2007-2013 programming period and the remainder of the 2000-2006 period that was issued in early 2010.

The Commission is taking the following further steps to improve the information on financial corrections by Member States available to the discharge authority and the European Court of Auditors by:

continuing to complete and correct the data gathered so far on Member States'

corrections, by requiring them to supply missing data and explain anomalies; and

continuing to verify the data, including checking, on a sample basis, the accuracy

of the data through audit work and to issue recommendations based on that work. The Commission will complete these verifications in the remaining non-audited Member States in the second half of 2010.
