2010 ilerleme raporu - Avrupa Birliği Bakanlığı

No progress can be reported on the protection of the euro against counterfeiting.
Institutions serving de facto as the national analysis centre, national coin analysis centre and
national central office are yet to be formally appointed to ensure sustainable cooperation with
the EU institutions. The Turkish legislation does not provide for any sanctions against credit
institutions that fail to withdraw counterfeits from circulation and against medals and tokens
similar to euro coins. Preparations remain moderately advanced in this field.
Conclusion
Limited progress can be reported in the area of financial control, which already shows a fairly
advanced level of alignment. Legislation implementing the PFMC Law is in place, whilst the
PIFC policy paper and action plan require revision. The revised law on the Turkish Court of
Accounts, bringing external audit into line with relevant international standards, has not yet
been adopted. The Turkish AFCOS has not yet evolved into an operational network.
Permanent structures are required for contacts with the Commission on the protection of the
euro against counterfeiting.
4.33. Chapter 33: Financial and budgetary provisions
There have been no particular developments as regards the traditional own resources.
Alignment with the relevant acquis has continued under the linked acquis chapters, resulting
in customs legislation that largely complies with the acquis. However, additional efforts are
needed for full alignment and implementation.
A national VAT system is in operation, further assessment thereof is needed to ensure the
system’s appropriateness to allow Turkey to contribute properly to the EU VAT own
resources system upon accession. As regards the Gross National Income (GNI) resource,
Turkish financial and statistical data were further aligned with the European System of
Accounts (ESA 95). Further progress is needed for full implementation of the ESA 95
standards to ensure that the GNI resource is measured appropriately.
No progress can be reported in the field of administrative capacity and infrastructure related
to the application of the own resources system itself. Turkey will need to establish
coordination structures and implementing rules for accurate collection, monitoring, payment
and control of own resources, and reporting to the EU.
Conclusion
Limited progress has been made under this chapter. Turkey’s alignment with the basic
principles and institutions of the acquis in this area is well advanced. Sound coordination
structures, administrative capacity and implementing rules will need to be established in due
course. Preparedness in the area of the own resources acquis is at an early stage.
