2007 discharge: European Agency for Safety and Health at Work EU-OSHA

The European Parliament adopted a decision concerning the discharge to be granted to the Director of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) in respect of the implementation of its budget for the financial year 2007. The decision to grant discharge is also an approval of the closure of the accounts of this EU agency.

Noting that the Court issued a fully positive statement of assurance and made no observations at all, the European Parliament adopted by 403 votes to 9, with 17 abstentions, a resolution which constitutes an integral part of the decision to grant discharge in which the Parliament congratulates the Agency on having significantly improved its financial management over the last two years.

Parliament encourages it to continue to strive for the highest standards in budgetary planning, implementation and control. It refers, for other observations accompanying its decision on discharge, to its resolution on financial management and control of EU agencies - see 2008/2207(INI) - adopted in parallel.
