2002 Discharge: European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions EFILWC, Dublin

PURPOSE : to present the Council Recommendation on the discharge to be given to the Director of the European Foundation for the improvement of living and working conditions for the financial year 2002. CONTENT : recalling that EUR 4 million in appropriations have been carried forward from the financial year 2002 to the financial year 2003 and EUR 0,2 million have been cancelled, the Council believes that the implementation of the budget calls for a certain number of observations which should be taken account of when granting discharge. The Foundation must continue to improve the monitoring and programming of its operational activities. It should also improve the integration of its accounting systems to decrease the eventuality of errors to occur. Lastly, the Foundation should take appropriate measures to guarantee the transparency of its tendering procedures.�
