EC own resources: information to the Budgetary Authority (amend. Regul. 1552/89/EEC/EURATOM)

The Committee on Budgets adopted Mr SAMLAND's report (to be submitted without debate to the first plenary of March 1996) which, in the draft decision, approved the joint text amending the joint guideline of the Council on Regulation 1552/89 (own resources). This text, which was approved by the Committee on Budgetary Control, closed the EP/Council conciliation procedure and constituted an improvement of the text of the regulation regarding the "sugar levy". It accepted the effects of the statements by the Commission which intended to pay back to the Member States a 10% premium in respect of amounts recovered by them in the fight against fraud. It noted the Commission's undertaking to define procedures making it possible to carry out spot checks in Member States. The Commission would draw up a report on this matter before the end of 1996. �
