The conference was organised in November 2013 by the Network of the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) of the EU Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey) and the European Court of Auditors, with significant support from SIGMA. The objective of the conference was to exchange information and to establish closer relations between SAIs and parliaments: this goal was achieved by the participation of high rank representatives of these bodies, important presentations, lively discussions and informal contacts. Despite differences between individual countries, representatives of SAIs and parliaments unanimously agreed that their institutions need to cooperate, as it is a prerequisite for accountability of the public administration.

According to the estimates of the European Court of Auditors (ECA), the average error level in expenditure on rural areas development stood at 8.2 per cent. Irregularities in investment activities constituted two-thirds of this error level, while irregularities in area aid – one-third. The ECA has evaluated the activities of the European Commission and Member States aimed at eliminating the main reasons behind the high error level with regard to this policy as partially effective. The basis for such an evaluation was the lack of systematic prevention of irregularities, despite the initiatives taken by the Commission.

In its annual report on the EU budget published on 5 November 2014, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) warns that the budget system is too focused on just getting funds spent and needs to place more emphasis on achieving results. As independent auditor, the ECA signed off the 2013 accounts of the European Union, but stresses that the management of EU spending is not yet good enough overall − either at EU level or in the Member States.

In his article, the author presents several elements of the practices of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs): a multiannual audit strategy, selection of non-routine audit topics, informing the public about planned audits or audits in progress, or giving citizens an opportunity to contribute to audits. These illustrate new trends in the works of some SAIs. The inspiration for the article came from the audit conducted by the European Court of Auditors on the performance of public consultations by the European Commission.

The mandate of the European Court of Auditors (ECA) and Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) of the European Union Member States – with regard to auditing of the management and utilisation of EU funds – overlap to some extent. The ECA and SAIs also partially share the stakeholders – the citizens of the European Union. As a result, cooperation of these bodies seems natural. In his article, the author presents the main areas of cooperation between the ECA and SAIs: participation of SAIs in the Court’s audit visits in the Member States, the activities aimed to mitigate the risk of duplicated audits, and cooperative audits.

The need to keep the expected level of production in agriculture generates a serious burden on the environment. The most important environmental factors exposed to the impact of agriculture include biodiversity and water, air, and soil quality. Assessments of all these environmental aspects related to agricultural production are negative. The condition of the agricultural environment has been subject to rapid deterioration. In such a situation, environmental instruments have drawn particular attention from the European legislature when developing new guidelines of the Common Agricultural Policy to be applicable after 2020.

Utrzymanie oczekiwanego poziomu produkcyjności w rolnictwie generuje poważne obciążenie dla środowiska naturalnego. Do najważniejszych czynników środowiskowych narażonych na oddziaływanie rolnictwa zalicza się różnorodność biologiczną, ilość i jakość wody, powietrza oraz gleby. Oceny wszystkich wskazanych aspektów środowiskowych towarzyszących produkcji rolnej wypadają negatywnie. Stan środowiska rolniczego ulega szybkiej degradacji. W takiej sytuacji instrumenty ochrony środowiska doczekały się szczególnej uwagi prawodawcy europejskiego tworzącego nowe programowe założenia Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej obowiązującej po roku 2020.
