## What the amendments focus on

A decision on the 2014 discharge for the European Railway Agency. The amendments postpone the discharge and the closure of the accounts, criticise the increase in carry-overs, the Agency operating from two seats with higher running costs, and a framework contract on ERTMS with offers close to the maximum value, while noting conflict-of-interest declarations and CVs, recruitment procedures, and the Agency's role in rail safety and interoperability.
