2007 discharge: EU general budget, European Data Protection Supervisor

2008/2283(DEC)

PURPOSE: to present the report of the Court of Auditors on the implementation of the budget for the financial year 2007 (other institutions - European Data Protection Supervisor).

CONTENT: in its annual report for the financial year 2007, the Court focuses on the legality and regularity of the operating expenditure of the institutions. In 2007, the Court notes that all the institutions operated satisfactorily the supervisory and control systems required by the Financial Regulation and the transactions tested were free from material error of legality and regularity.

However, the Court draws attention to a number of findings which should be taken into consideration by the institutions concerned. Nevertheless, in the specific case of the audit of the European Data Protection Supervisor, the audit did not give rise to any significant observations.
