1996 discharge: European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions EFILWC budget (Dublin)

In adopting the report by Mr Edward KELLETT-BOWMAN (EPP, UK) on the discharge to be given to the Dublin Foundation for the 1996 financial year, Parliament hoped that the remaining technical problems affecting the separation of duties between the authorizing officer and the accounting officer would have been resolved within the next discharge period (discharge for 1997). It called on the Foundation and the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work swiftly to adopt a Memorandum of Understanding to establish structured cooperation between the two bodies and to present this agreement to Parliament. It also drew the Court of Auditors' attention to the fact that coordination of activities with DG V/F of the Commission was now primarily a matter for the Agency and not for the Foundation and expected that it would advise all Community institutions and thus also Parliament, as part of its activities. It then gave discharge to the Administrative Board of the Dublin Foundation in respect of the implementation of its budget for 1996. �
