1992 discharge: follow-up

The rapporteur, Mr CORNELISSEN (PPE, NL) highlighted the three points in the proposal for a resolution (adopted unanimously) which made the discharge procedure for the 1992 financial year particularly difficult. He referred, inter alia, to: - Parliament's repeated demand for the Commission to recover ECU 340 million from certain Member States on the grounds of failure to apply the milk quota system correctly; - the demand that the Commission file a report by 30 June 1996 on the state of progress in enquiries being conducted in the Member States into the case of presumed fraud in the tobacco sector, together with an estimate of the probable loss to the Community budget; - the demand that all cases of presumed fraud in the Commission services be submitted to the anti-fraud unit, which must be independent of the other services and which should inform Parliament of any important facts as and when they arise.�
