The audit of the Court of Auditors’ financial statements for 2010 was carried out by an external auditor. However, I agree with the rapporteur’s request for the next financial year’s audit to include performance indicators and objectives as well. For these reasons, and particularly in view of the fact that the number of posts dedicated to audit tasks has increased by 6%, I voted to approve the accounts submitted by the Commission, thus granting discharge for the 2010 accounts, Section V – Court of Auditors.
