Translation of "Système de mise à la terrre " (French → English) :

5. If, during implementation, the level of error is persistently high, the Commission shall identify the weaknesses in the control systems, analyse the costs and benefits of possible corrective measures and take or propose appropriate action, such as simplification of the applicable provisions, improvement of the control systems and re-design of the programme or delivery systems.

378. Points out that, even though the Commission has introduced measures aimed at addressing many of the weaknesses in the Decentralised Implementation System, in particular since the introduction of the new Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA 2007-2013), the Commission still has to address the remaining weaknesses in overall programming and performance management, as recommended by the Court; also expects the Commission to make the Turkish authorities aware of this fact so that project proposals are drawn up which would allow the strategic objectives relating to the financing of the European Union to be achieved within a reali ...[+++]stic timescale; considers that the Commission should undertake new initiatives in order to improve the design and implementation of the projects by the institutions of the Decentralised Implementation System (measures such as compulsory needs assessments and better scheduling of contracting arrangements);

6. Underlines the role of the implementation of the climate and energy package in achieving targets. Focus should be given to linking the EU Emissions Trading Scheme to other cap-and-trade schemes and ensuring that the auctioning system works. EU action to focus on the promotion of greener energy forms, including renewable energy and new technologies, such as carbon capture and storage, fuel cells and nuclear fusion, should be increased. Nuclear fission energy has a key role to play in electricity generation, particularly in the short and medium term and we sh ...[+++]ould aim to increase its share of EU electricity supply to 40 per cent;

The risk inherent in the cascade system of implementation remains, namely that a weakness in one link of the chain may have wide-reaching consequences for the effectiveness of the system.

4. Recalls that the Centre expended scarce resources in 1997, 1998 and 1999 to develop a tailor-made computer system to manage its budget and accounts, rather than employ a decentralised application developed by the Commission, SI2, which is used by nine other Agencies; welcomes that the old system was fully replaced before 1 July 2000 and vetted by the Commission;
