PURPOSE : to present the Council recommendation on the discharge to be given to the administrative Director of Eurojust in respect of the implementation of the budget of Eurojust for the financial year 2002.
CONTENT : based on the comments contained in the Court of Auditors' report on the financial year 2002, the Council recommends the European Parliament to give a discharge to the Administrative Director of Eurojust in respect of the implementation of the budget for the financial year 2002.
To recall, EUR 0,4 million in appropriations has been forwarded from the financial year 2002 to the financial year 2003 and EUR 1,2 million have been cancelled.
The Council is of the opinion that the observations in the Court of Auditors' report in relation to the financial year 2002 do not call for any specific comments by the Council.
Lastly, the Council does however welcome the fact that the Court of Auditors has been able to obtain reasonable assurance that Eurojust's annual accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2002 are reliable and that the underlying transactions, taken as a whole, are legal and regular.�
