PURPOSE: to grant discharge to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) for the financial year 2016.
NON-LEGISLATIVE ACT: Decision (EU) 2018/1412 of the European Parliament on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work for the financial year 2016.
CONTENT: the European Parliament decided to grant discharge to the Director of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work for the implementation of the latter’s budget for the financial year 2016.
This decision is accompanied by a resolution of the European Parliament containing the observations which form an integral part of the discharge decision in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2016 (please refer to the summary dated 18.4.2018).
In this resolution, Parliament strongly regretted the fact that the Agency has yet to implement internal rules on whistleblowing. The Agency is awaiting guidelines from the Commission. The Agency is urged to report to the discharge authority when its whistleblowing rules have been established and implemented.
