74. Expresses serious concern about documented cases of corruption, including allegations involving high-level Ukrainian officials; recalls that the protection of the EU’s financial interests is a non-negotiable prerequisite for any disbursement of EU funds; calls on the Commission to immediately suspend further disbursements under the Ukraine Facility until a comprehensive and independent audit of all funds disbursed to date has been completed and published, and until the Commission has provided Parliament with verified evidence that Ukraine’s anti-corruption institutional framework – including the independent National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office – is fully operational and effective; considers that continued disbursement in the absence of adequate anti-corruption safeguards would constitute a failure of the EU to do its duty to protect taxpayers’ money; insists that any resumption of payments must be conditional on measurable and independently verified progress in the prosecution of high-level corruption cases and in the dismantling of oligarchic influence over public procurement; calls on the Commission to report to Parliament on a quarterly basis on the state of implementation of anti-corruption conditions under the Ukraine Facility;
