This Commission Staff Working Paper completes the Report from the Commission to the European Parliament on the Follow-up to the 2013.

An overview of these replies can be found in COM(2015)0505 (please refer to the summary of the document in question).

The working paper presents in detail the answers to 319 specific requests made by the European Parliament in its Resolution forming an integral part of its Decisions on the 2013 Discharge.

Most of these requests were classified according to the following chapters:

  • the Court of Auditors of Statement of Assurance;
  • revenue and own resources of the EU budget;
  • agriculture;
  • regional Policy, transport and energy;
  • employment and social affairs;
  • external relations;
  • research policies and other internal policies;
  • OLAF;
  • administration.

The document also highlights specific issues such as budget performance issues (in terms of results) and the issue of tobacco smuggling.

For each of these chapters, the Commission responds point by point to the requests of the European Parliament and proposes a framework of appropriate measures, if necessary.
