50. Notes with great concern the Commission's interim report on the progress made by Bulgaria under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism; is concerned at the continuing parlous state of the Bulgarian legal system; notes that 27 criminal proceedings are under way against 28 judges; asks for clarification regarding a series of cases of alleged fraud in connection with Union funds in Bulgaria, causing a suspension of payments in 2008 in which the public prosecutor's office suspended the investigations, even though the investigations into similar cases based on the same facts continued in another Member State; is astonished that, i ...[+++]n all cases of fraud involving Union funds which were brought before the courts, criminal prosecution was replaced by administrative fines, and that an important case of fraud involving Union funds has been delayed in appeal in court for over 18 months; deplores, furthermore, the disregard of the Commission's recommendation in not authorising the National Commission for the Identification and Forfeiture of Criminal Assets (CEPACA) to undertake pro-active asset verification of senior officials and politicians; is concerned that the unified, prompt, systematic publication of substantiated judgments is not the norm in Bulgaria; calls on the Commission to put pressure on the judicial authorities to increase their efforts to reform and to implement the Commission's recommendations as soon as possible; calls on the Commission in this context to disclose how much funding has been allocated to supporting Bulgaria's efforts to reform and to assess the extent to which the payments have achieved the promised results; expects to see serious improvements over the coming year, with further considerations and a series of measures drawn up by the Commission in cooperation with the Bulgarian government for re-establishing the integrity of Bulgaria's legal system;

The restrictive measures now include visa restrictions, a freezing of assets and economic resources covering some 386 people: SPDC (State Peace and Development Council), Regional Commanders and Deputy Regional Commanders, ministers, general military officers (from Brigadier), officials responsible for managing prisons and the police, people who benefit from the Government's economic policy and managers of companies belonging to members of the armed forces and their families; prohibition of the award of loans/credits and of participation in Burmese public companies, covering 41 companies or organisations, an arms embargo and ban on exports of equipment for internal repression; the suspension ...[+++] of non-humanitarian aid programmes (with exceptions in key areas such as health, education and poverty reduction); diplomatic measures, which include the suspension of high-level visits to Burma/Myanmar and the withdrawal of military attachés from the embassies of EU Member States.

1. The decision suspending an official shall state whether the official is to continue to receive his full remuneration during the period of suspension or what part thereof is to be withheld.

There should also be greater stability in the membership of Disciplinary Boards and the rules regarding the suspension of officials should be amended.

They include: making the disciplinary board a permanent and more professional body, chaired by a qualified specialist from outside the Commission; improving the provisions governing the justified suspension of officials, including those being prosecuted in criminal cases in national courts; consolidating the vital coordination between the Commission and OLAF whilst not compromising the essential independence of OLAF; refining the list of possible sanctions to relate them better to any proven contravention of staff regulations.
