Notes that the Centre's internal control system suffered from various shortcomings, such as for
instance the fact that the financial circuits set up by the authorising officer had not been described, the
systems whereby the authorising officer and his delegates supplied information to the accounting officer had
in particular not been validated by the latter and the principle of the segregation of duties was not applied
strictly, especially between the duties of initiation and verification; invites the Centre, in relation to commit-
ments, to include sound financial management in the list of matters to be covered by ex ante verifications;

Invites the Centre to fully apply the rule whereby members of the selection boards must always be of

25.
a grade equivalent to or higher than that of the post to be filled;

26.
Notes that the invitations to tender issued by the Centre do not offer much by way of explanation as
regards the minimum quality of bids and the weighting of price factors; invites the Centre to apply the rules
for tenders strictly.
