Introduction The delegation visit of the Committee on Budgetary Control (CONT) to Italy was approved by the Bureau of the European Parliament on 14 December 2009, and subsequently scheduled for the end of October 2010. When asking for authorisation, CONT followed the long established tradition of verifying the use of European public money and the functioning of management and control mechanisms in applicant and member countries (earlier missions went to Croatia, Greece, Bulgaria and Kosovo). Specific to the Italian context, CONT had already gone in mission to Sicily in 2008 and now is planning a new delegation to Lombardia and Calabria for 2012. Following discussions on the content and structure of the delegation at their meetings on 22 June, 12 July, 7 September and 28 September, the coordinators of the CONT committee identified 4 priorities for the exchange of views with the Italian national and regional authorities for the delegation to Italy on 26-28 October 2010: - management and control systems for Structural funds programmes in Campania and

Abruzzo; - management and control systems for European Social fund programmes in Campania and

Abruzzo; - management of the European Union Solidarity fund in Abruzzo; - implementation of MAP, CASE and MUSP projects in Abruzzo. The CONT coordinators also determined the delegation’s membership and agreed on the Italian authorities to meet: the Italian Minister of Finance, the Minister delegated to the Department of Development Affairs, the National Prosecutor Antimafia, the General Commander of the Guardia di Finanza, the Presidents of Abruzzo and Campania regions, the Prosecutor of Naples, the Directors for EU Funds (in Campania and Abruzzo regions), and the Director of Civil Protection- section Risks and the Prosecutor of L'Aquila. On the basis of the above, the programme was then established as shown in Annex I. The mission took place after Italy was notably figured in the Commission's 2009 annual Report on the Protection of the European Union's financial interests-Fight against fraud-Annual as one of the Member States having reported the highest number of Cohesion Policy irregularities in 2009. In the same report, Italy was also presented amongst the Member States with the highest suspected fraud rates for the 2000-2006 Cohesion Policy programming period. In the context of this worrying information and to create a sound knowledge base for the visit to the two Italian regions (Abruzzo and Campania), CONT received briefing notes from the Commission's Directorate General (DG) for Regional Policy and from DG Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities. The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) provided, in addition, limited documentation. The Head of Unit of DG REGIO and the Director of DG EMPL responsible for the targeted regions took part in the mission. A member of the Cabinet of Algirdas Semeta, Commissioner for Taxation and Customs Union, Audit and Anti-Fraud also accompanied the CONT delegation. For the concluding remarks and follow-up recommendations, please refer to page 11.

The fact-finding mission to Campania and Abruzzo

The majority of participants arrived in Rome at the premises of the European Parliament (EP) Information Office on the afternoon of Tuesday 26 October, with the official programme beginning forthwith.

Tuesday 26 October 2010

First exchange of views with the national political authorities and the anti-fraud judiciary authorities The Delegation, chaired by Mr de Magistris, regretted the absence of the Minister for relations with Regions and Territorial Cohesion, Mr Fitto, who has a direct responsibility over the coordination of Structural Funds. The presentation made by the senior representative of the Minister, Mr Mancurti, was general and did not provide any new insights on the issues regarding management and control of EU funds. After welcoming the delegation to Italy, Mr Mancuti gave a picture of the Italian government's achievements regarding Objective 1 for the 2000-2006 programming period. He mentioned as examples: - the construction of 40 km of metropolitan rail (mainly in Naples), - the completion of the high-speed railway line Rome- Naples, - 15.000 graduates attended Master courses and PhDs; 67% of those who had completed

their PhD found a job within 6 months, - the project "one computer in each house" in Basilicata increased the number of families

connected to internet.

Concerning the 2007-2013 programming period, he, nevertheless, admitted general delays in implementation of the Convergence and Regional Competitiveness and Employment objectives.

Members raised serious concerns as regards delays in starting the programmes up and on resulting risks in losing funds which have to be de-committed if not used.

Mr Søndergaard expressed particular concern as regards transparency, asking whether the recommendations from the 2009 Report of the Italian Court of Auditors were followed up by the national and regional administrations. These recommendations include, in particular, the exchange of information on the list of beneficiaries, the improvement of the recovery procedures deemed too slow, the publication of a "black list" of fraudulent businesses and an accreditation system of beneficiaries to receive EU funds.

Mr Staes then took the floor to raise questions regarding the quality of the Italian audit system and whether this audit work is of a sufficient standard to allow signing off a national declaration.

Ms Gräßle stressed that Italy is one of the Member States having reported the highest number of irregularities. She also underlined the importance of the attainment of European added value of spending and enquired as to which information was available on this issue.

Mr Staes

The intervention of Mr Donadio, Deputy National Prosecutor, was quite informative, especially on the recycling of funds by organised crime. The main message was that, for such purposes, internal control systems are not sufficient to detect fraud and corruption.

Mr Martinelli

Mr Martinelli, Regional Commander of the Guardia di Finanza (a military body in charge of the fight against fraud and financial crime) explained how fraud is detected and the money recovered in order to protect both the EU and Italian budget. He also outlined the cooperation with ministries, judicial bodies and OLAF. This was the first time the national authorities had admitted that a shared database on the list of beneficiaries would be needed for the judicial bodies to carry out investigations more effectively.

Mr de Magistris also pointed out that mixing public and private resources makes it more difficult to detect fraud. He, nevertheless, made it clear that zero tolerance to fraud is crucial to strengthening the whole economy.

Following this, Members made their own arrangements for dinner.

Wednesday 27 October

Exchange of views with the regional authorities of Campania

The president of the Campania region, Mr Caldoro acknowledged the difficulties encountered in the implementation of Structural Funds – serious delays in spending, infringement procedure on waste, etc. – which he attributed to the previous administration and to an excessive dispersion of the interventions. He pledged that his administration had been reorganised and that EU funds would be better managed and controlled in the near future.

Members asked about serious deficiencies in management and control systems, in particular as regards management verifications, audit trail, checks carried out by the paying authority as well as a high proportion of irregularities in ESF operations (error rate of 59%).

The manager of ESF in Campania, Mr Carannate, in post since only July 2010, explained that these deficiencies were mainly due to a lack of continuity in staffing and an over-complex programme with 71 operational objectives. Mr Caldoro added that the programme will now be modified to allow for further concentration of interventions and better control of expenditure as well as achieving better impacts. Concerning ERDF, Members asked Mr Gargiulo, manager of ERDF in Campania, about the high number of irregularities, amounts involved and amounts to be recovered. The issue of the high number of cases of possible fraud detected and reported in projects financed by this Fund was also raised. Mr Caldoro replied to Members' questions on the waste crisis by stating that it was due to incorrect policies and choices in the integrated waste management system and that supplementary resources are needed to resolve the crisis (funds currently blocked due to the infringement procedure). He also spoke about possible de-classification of the national park where the disputed waste dump is located. Overall, Members were not satisfied with the answers on the issues raised. Ms Gräßle, in particular, asked for more detailed information on recoveries and corrections.

Furthermore, through the intervention of Mr Greco, Deputy Public Prosecutor in Naples, it become clear there was a lack of communication and operational coordination between judicial authorities, managing authorities and central administrations. The prosecutor explained that only one meeting had taken place to date about the setting up of a usable beneficiary database for investigative purposes.

Exchange of views with the National Civil Protection Department and visit to the projects co-financed by the European Solidarity Fund in the earthquake town of L'Aquila in Abruzzo

On arrival in L'Aquila, the delegation was invited to a lunch hosted by the National Civil Protection Department (DPC). Afterwards, Mr Gabrielli and Mr Borelli, both DPC

Deputy Heads, and Mr Dolce, DPC Director General on Seismic Risk, presented detailed facts and figures on the implementation of the Abruzzo earthquake emergency response projects including those financed with the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) funding. The full 493 M€ EUSF grant has already been spent for the projects (mostly housing and school buildings) as laid down in the implementation agreement and respecting the (indicative) distribution of funds.

It was explained that all the different emergency projects have been completed on the ground in an extremely short time and to a very high standard (anti-seismic, eco-friendly) and fully serve their intended purpose. Since 1 December 2009, none of the 85 000 people made homeless by the earthquake remain living in tents or containers.

The C.A.S.E. project, the biggest of the housing projects destined for the population of L'Aquila, encompassed 185 units (apartment blocks) in 20 areas surrounding L'Aquila. It comprises 4449 apartments for a total of just under 15 000 people. The first 400 apartments were ready end September 2009. At the end of February 2010, all apartments were completed and assigned. The EUSF contributed 350 m€ to the total cost of 792 m€.

The M.A.P project encompassed over 3100 smaller temporary housing units for up to 7000 people, specifically in the vicinity of the smaller villages surrounding L'Aquila.

The MUSP project encompassed 32 temporary schools for a part of the over 15 000 students concerned by the earthquake. All 32 schools were opened for the 2009/10 school year in September 2009. The EUSF contributed over 93 m€ to MAP and MUSP.

The DPC- it was also explained- had already completed its intervention in Abruzzo and has handed the responsibility for further reconstruction and economic recovery over to the regional and local authorities. The reconstruction of the largely still un-inhabitable historic centre is expected to take 5-10 years. With the completion of the building projects their ownership has been handed over to the 57 municipalities concerned. The occupants will live there cost-free for the time necessary to renovate or rebuild there original homes, which may be a period of several years. The use of the houses after they have served their initial purpose (e.g. as student residences) has not been decided yet.

After the detailed DPC presentation, Members raised several issues on the regularity of public procurement procedures followed, the costs of the reconstruction, including new accommodation, schools and other expenditure related to the first emergency such as toilet facilities. Ms Gräßle asked for further explanations on the amounts spent to date. Mr Stavrakakis (seismologist) was interested in knowing the proportion of aid devoted to preventative measures, training etc. for the future.

Mr Stavrakakis

The meeting was followed by on-site visits of the historic centre of L'Aquila and of a limited number of housing and schooling projects financed with a contribution from the EUSF.

Exchange of views with the regional authorities of Abruzzo On the afternoon of 27 October 2010, the delegation also had a separate meeting with Mr Chiodi, President of Abruzzo, Ms Andreola, manager for ERDF and Mr de Sanctis, manager for ESF. Mr Chiodi, in particular, explained the complexity of the issues at stake concerning the reconstruction of the area affected by the earthquake in April 2009 and the role that Structural Funds could play in this process. In relation to the ERDF, Ms Andreola recognised that the delay of implementation of the programme for 2007-2013 programming period was due to the earthquake. This exceptional situation of the Region Abruzzo - explained Mr Chiodi - also impacted the implementation of ESF which was already experiencing some delays, mainly due to the lengthy setting up of the framework for intervention (a series of memoranda of understanding with different actors, including provinces and universities, for multi-axes interventions) and problems in finalising the public call for technical assistance. A new Managing Authority was appointed just before the earthquake. After the Commission granted an extension of the 2000-2006 final date of eligibility because of the earthquake, regional authorities were busy organising a system of employment aid totalling €20 million. All this, together with the widespread impact of the crisis, further delayed the 2007-2013 ESF implementation. The discussion then turned mainly to shortcomings in the management and control system. Ms Andreola pointed out that all irregular amounts detected by Commission audits were decertified, including a fraud case concerning a double financing for aid to businesses. Moreover, the implementation of the OP Abruzzo objective 21 has slightly improved since the end of 2009. Public calls are being progressively published and the provinces, which act as intermediary bodies, are particularly active. Mr Cozzolino raised questions in relation to the future of the University and of the centre of L'Aquila. Mr Chiodi answered that the University of L'Aquila survived despite fears it would close. To maintain the economy of the town, tax breaks had, furthermore, been given to small firms to encourage them to remain in the centre pending reconstruction. The President of Abruzzo guaranteed that the Region´s public debt had also been significantly reduced despite further planned expenditure for reconstruction and urban transport measures. Mr Perin, regional Deputy Head of the National Court of Auditors of L'Aquila, then took the floor to speak about preventive activities against possible infiltration attempts by organized crime in public tenders. He analysed the control systems available to fight infiltration of the economic and financial sector by the so called “entrepreneurial mafia”.

On this occasion, Ms Gräßle again stressed that despite Mr Perin's intervention being quite informative, it was not particularly relevant to the activities of the CONT delegation as only a small proportion of the cases concern EU funds. She noted there is a much bigger financial risk of irregularities than fraud in the administration of EU budgets.

Following this, Members were invited by the President of Abruzzo to dinner at the Restaurant "Al Cermone da Bacco", in L'Aquila. The delegation then travelled back to Rome.

Thursday 28 October

Second exchange of views with the national political authorities and the anti-fraud judiciary authorities Members again regretted the absence of national political authorities such as Mr Tremonti, Minister of Economy and Finance, who has direct responsibility over financial supervision. The presentation made by the senior representative of the minister, Ms Amadori, was about how audit is done and the legislative articles which come into play. This, nevertheless, did not provide any new insights on the issues regarding management and control, for example on the treatment of irregularities and fraud.

Ms Amadori, Magistrate d´Ippolito, Mr De Magistris, Mr Staes, Mr Martinelli

Members insisted, in particular, on the reasons for delays in implementation and the inefficient use of Structural Funds. Mr Staes, in particular, asked again whether the recommendations from the 2009 report of the Italian Court of Auditors were followed up by the national administrations especially in relation to the exchange of information on the list of beneficiaries.

Ms Amadori replied that the information on beneficiaries is available in the national monitoring system and that an improved IT system on irregularities was set up by the anti-fraud coordination unit. For the period 2000-2006, it was mentioned that more than half a million of operations were co-financed by Structural Funds for a total budget of nearly 60 billion €.

10

Ms Gräßle raised a question on how to improve efficiency when too many bodies are still involved in the implementation of EU Funds. Mr Stavrakakis asked what could be done in terms of simplification. In his presentation Mr Martinelli, Regional Commander of the Guardia di Finanza, gave a wider explanation of its organisation and operations, focusing in particular on international cooperation at European and global levels to safeguard both Italy’s and the European Union's financial interests. Great emphasis was placed on the close collaboration and cooperation between the Guardia di Finanza and all the Community institutions, first and foremost with the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), with whom, it was pointed out, the Guardia di Finanza had enjoyed a close and fruitful working relationship and partnership stretching back over many years. Members raised questions regarding ongoing projects and investigative techniques.

Ms Gräßle again raised the issue of lack of co-operation between the different Italian bodies and high number of irregularities in the implantation of EU funds. Magistrate d´Ippolito concluded by stating he did not share Ms Gräßle's views but that it was acknowledged there was a distance to go to improve the situation in Italy in this respect.

Ms Gräßle

Mr De MAGISTRIS, CONT Chair

Mr De Magistris concluded that Italy is still a matter of concern for European institutions due to the high number of irregularities (20% of the total of the EU) and the high level of corruption (according to Transparency International, Italy ranks at 67th position just before Rwanda). He also mentioned that another mission to Italy focusing on Lombardia and Calabria is scheduled in 2012.

Press conference At the end of the morning the delegation held a press conference at the premises of the European Parliament (EP) Information office.
