with observations forming an integral part of the decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction for the financial year 2022

(2023/2157(DEC))

– having regard to its decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction for the financial year 2022,

– having regard to Rule 100 of and Annex V to its Rules of Procedure,

– having regard to the opinion of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs,

– having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control (A9-0104/2024),

A. whereas, according to its statement of revenue and expenditure, the final budget of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (the ‘Centre’) for the financial year 2022 was EUR 18 893 136, representing a decrease of 0,71 % compared to 2021; whereas the Centre’s budget derives mainly (94 %) from the Union budget;

B. whereas the Court of Auditors (the ‘Court’), in its report on the Centre’s annual accounts for the financial year 2022 (the ‘Court's report’), states that it has obtained reasonable assurance that the Centre's annual accounts are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular;

Budget and financial management

1. Notes with satisfaction that the budget monitoring efforts during the financial year 2022 resulted in a budget implementation rate of 98,78 % (a decrease of 1,22 % compared to 2021); notes that the payment appropriations execution rate was 96,65 %, representing a slight increase of 0,30 % compared to 2021; further notes that the implementation rate of payment appropriations carried over from 2021 to 2022 was 88,98 %;

2. Notes from the Court’s report that the Centre, although it paid interest for only one late payment, had a significant number of payments that were wrongly flagged as late (107 out of 1 595) by the Centre’s financial and accounting management (Accrual Based Accounting (ABAC)) because of the incorrect parametrisations or incorrect data inputs, or both, regarding the due date of payment or the reception of the documents entailing a payment obligation; notes from the Centre’s reply that the inconsistent flagging of late payments did not affect the regularity of the operations involved; notes further that the Centre has adopted some measures to minimise the referred risk for ‘false positives’ and to further ensure that its ABAC system may provide for a clear and accurate picture of the actual late payments; calls on the Agency to continue to monitor this issue and mitigate possible future reputational risks associated with this issue;

Performance

3. Notes that the Centre’s new performance measurement model identifies a limited number (10) of composite key performance indicators (KPIs), which are used to measure the effectiveness of delivering the desired outputs and the efficiency of using resources allocated, and which are complemented by higher level KPIs that focus on outcomes and impacts; notes that for the assessment of the KPIs, the Centre has defined 65 annual targets, of which 57 targets (87 %) were achieved in 2022;

4. Notes that for the 2022 work programme, the Centre achieved 152 out of 188 of the outputs/results (81 %), partially achieved 12 % of them (i.e. 23 outputs/results, which were delayed and were in progress at the end of 2022), while 12 results (6 %) were not implemented and two results were not applicable; observes that the Centre’s view is that most of the delays or cancellations of activities in 2022 were caused by a lack of resources; notes further that for the implementation of its new mandate (expected to apply from 2024), in 2022 the Centre started preparations which involved key resources and required some adjustments in some of its previously planned activities;

5. Recognises the Centre’s efforts and progress made in its three areas of work (health, security and business drivers); notes in particular the release in 2022 of the new European Drug Report (EDR), which delivers the latest overview of the drug situation in Europe up to 2022, the launch of the e-learning platform PLATO that hosts the European Prevention Curriculum, which is designed to train professionals involved in shaping prevention decisions, opinions and policies in Europe, the release of seven miniguides that cover responses to drugs in recreational settings, local communities, schools and prisons, as well as respond to the needs of families and homeless populations, and the publication of three spotlights on drug consumption rooms, drug checking and e-health intervention;

6. Notes with appreciation that in 2022 the Centre released a new rapid mixed-method trendspotter study to assess the initial service response to the needs of displaced Ukrainians in neighbouring countries within the Union; commends the Centre for collaborating with Europol on preparing the fourth edition of the joint ‘EU Drug Markets: In-depth analysis’, the findings of which are presented in a series of modules, each focusing on the market for a particular drug and covering trends along the supply chain from production and trafficking to distribution and use; commends in this context the launch in 2022 of the first two modules on cocaine and methamphetamine;

7. Notes that, in 2022, the Centre continued to implement the Early Warning System of the European Union (EWS) in collaboration with its partners; notes, in the same context, that in 2022, EWS was formally notified for the first time of 41 new psychoactive substances (NPS); further notes that two NPS that had been risk assessed by the Centre in 2021 (3-chloromethcathinone (3-CMC) and 3-methylmethcathinone (3-MMC)) were included in the definition of ‘drug’ by a Commission delegated directive in 2022;

8. Welcomes the Centre’s participation in drug related training events and capacity building, managing to transfer its knowledge to almost 950 professionals working in the drug field, including law enforcement officers and policymakers; notes, in addition, that around 1 200 professionals working in the drugs field all over the world attended the seven webinars that were organised by the Centre in 2022; commends the Centre for organising, along with its partners, the fourth European Conference on Addictive Behaviours and Dependencies: Lisbon Addictions 2022 which, under the overarching theme of ‘Global Addictions’, brought together a record number of 1 757 participants from 84 countries;

Staff policy

15. Notes that, on 31 December 2022, the establishment plan was 97 % implemented, with six officials and 68 temporary agents appointed out of seven officials and 69 temporary agents authorised under the Union budget (76 authorised posts in 2022, same as in 2021); notes that, in addition, 27 contract agents worked for the Centre in 2022; welcomes the Centre’s 2022 staff screening exercise and the effective and efficient allocation of its resources with 72,44 % of the Centre’s staff allocated to operational activities, 18,20 % to administrative support and coordination, and 9,35 % to neutral operations; commends the Centre for its low staff turnover rate (2,9 %) in 2022;

Procurement

19. Notes from the Court’s report that the amount (EUR 75 000) corresponding to a contract concluded in 2022 was not fully covered by a corresponding budgetary commitment, leading to a deficit amounting to EUR 8 000; notes that a similar situation was incurred in 2021 for the same type of contract and in both cases the Centre, according to the Court’s report, was not in line with the requirements laid down in Articles 10(3) and 73(2) of the Centre’s Financial Regulation; acknowledges however from the Centre’s reply that the cost for the contract was shared according to the agreements made with two other entities that use the Centre’s premises in Lisbon; observes in this context that the Centre had to bear just a part of the total cost/expenditure for the contract which relied on corresponding budgetary commitments, whilst the remaining costs relied on offsetting/clearing accounting operations as those costs were borne by the two other entities;

Internal control

22. Notes that in 2022, the Internal Audit Service (IAS) carried out two audits for the Centre, namely on international cooperation and on the adequacy of coordination and working arrangements of partner directorate-generals and other stakeholders, as well as of the Union’s decentralised agencies’ governance framework; notes that the audit results for both audit projects were still not available at the end of 2022, at which point there were no outstanding critical risks or recommendations from the IAS, except for one outstanding recommendation, on internal communication, from an audit on human resources management and ethics carried out in 2021;
