Z. fra et nederlandsk institut indgav en klage til ombudsmanden den 30. august 1994 over Europa-Kommissionen for forsømmelighed.
Mr Z. from a Dutch institute lodged a complaint with the Ombudsman on 23 August 1994 about alleged maladministration by the European Commission.
Ifølge klageren indvilgede generaldirektorat V ved skrivelse af 1 8.5.1994 i at tildele et beløb på 5000 ecu til et seminar om Europavalget 1994, som instituttet afholdt, men udbetalte aldrig beløbet.
According to the complaint, the Directorate General V had agreed by letter of 1 8 May 1 994 to contribute a sum of 5.000 ECUs to a seminar "European elections 1994" arranged by the institute but never paid this subsidy.
Eftersom ombudsmanden først tiltrådte den 27. september 1995, kunne klagen ikke behandles øjeblikkeligt.
As the Ombudsman did not take up his duties until 27 September 1 995, he was not able to give immediate attention to the complaint.
Den 20. november 1995 sendte ombudsmanden klagen til Europa-Kommissionen til udtalelse.
On 20 November 1 995, he sent the complaint to the European Commission for comments.
Ved skrivelse af 12. januar 1996 meddelte klageren ombudsmanden, at tvisten mellem instituttet og Kommissionen havde fundet en løsning, og at han trak klagen tilbage.
By letter of 12 January 1996, the complainant informed the Ombudsman that the dispute between the institute and the Commission had been settled and that the complaint was withdrawn.
TILDELING AF DET BLA FLAG FOR REN STRAND
AWARD OF A BLUE FLAG, A MARK OF CLEANLINESS, TO A BEACH
C. indgav klage i november 1995 vedrørende tildeling af det blå flag som kvalitetsmærke for ren strand til stranden ved Armação de Pêra i Algarve, Portugal, og vedrørende anvendelsen af midler fra EUGFL til stranden.
In November 1 995 Mr C. lodged a complaint concerning the award of a blue flag, which is a mark of a beach's quality and cleanliness, to the beach at Armação de Pêra in the Algarve, Portugal, and the use of ERDF funds for the beach.
Tildelingen af det blå flag til stranden ved Armação de Pêra var efter klagerens op fattelse ikke berettiget, da denne strand var til skade for miljøet og den offentlige sundhed.
The complainant considered that the blue flag had been unjustly awarded, given the harmful effects which the beach had on the environment and health.
Klagen var vedlagt flere fotografier for at gøre opmærksom på de beklagelige adgangsforhold til stranden samt på mængden af uhumskheder, som ophobede sig der.
He attached several photographs to his complaint, illustrating the deplorable condition of the approaches to the beach and the quantity of refuse which had built up there.
Han satte desuden spørgsmålstegn ved de portugisiske myndigheders anvendelse af de fælleskabsmidler, som blev ydet til beskyttelse af denne strand.
He also questioned the use made by the Portuguese authorities of the Community funds allocated for the protection of the beach.
Den europæiske ombudsmand har oplyst Europa-Kommissionen om tildelingen af det blå flag til stranden ved Armação de Pêra og anmodet den om at fremsende sine bemærkninger.
The European Ombudsman informed the European Commission that a blue flag had been awarded to the beach at Armação de Pêra and asked it to comment on the matter.
I sit svar fremførte Kommissionen først, at den ikke er direkte ansvarlig for tildelingen af det blå flag, som samordnes af en ikke-statslig organisation med hjemsted i Danmark.
In its reply, the Commission pointed out that it was not directly responsible for the award of blue flags, which was coordinated by a non-governmental organization based in Denmark.
Kommissionen intervenerer kun ved at fremsende oplysninger vedrørende et enkelt af tildelingskriterierne.
Its only role was to provide information on one of the criteria used in the selection process.
Den har dog anmodet omtalte organisation om flere oplysninger og har forpligtet sig til at fremsende en undersøgelsesrapport til C.
It had, nonetheless, asked the non-governmental organization to provide further information, and undertook to forward a report on its in quiry to the complainant.
For så vidt angår fællesskabsmidlerne, fremførte Kommissionen, at den ikke havde kunnet påvise nogen form for svig.
The Commission stated that it had found no evidence of fraud in connection with the Community funds.
Den europæiske ombudsmand fremsendte disse bemærkninger til C, som gav ud tryk for tilfredshed med hensyn til den europæiske ombudsmands mellemkomst, ef tersom det blå flag ikke var blevet tildelt stranden ved Armação de Pêra for 1996, og han trak sin klage tilbage.
The Ombudsman forwarded these comments to Mr C, who expressed satisfaction with the action taken by the Ombudsman, given that a blue flag had not been awarded to the beach at Armação de Pêra for 1996, and withdrew his complaint.
Ombudsmanden har også anmodet om at få tilsendt omtalte undersøgelsesrapport.
He also asked to be sent the inquiry report referred to above.
Ombudsmanden vedlagde desuden kopi af en skrivelse fra kommissær Ritt BJERREGAARD, som oplyste, at Kommissionen havde indgivet klage i henhold til proceduren i EF-traktatens artikel 169 mod de portugisiske myndigheder for over trædelse af fællesskabsteksterne på området, navnlig direktiv 76/160/EØF (badevand). vand).
The Ombudsman also attached a copy of a letter from the Commissioner, Mrs Ritt BJERREGAARD, stating that, pursuant to Article 169 of the Treaty, the Commission had initiated proceedings against the Portuguese authorities for breach of the rele-
Tildelingen af det blå flag forvaltes og besluttes af en ikke-statslig organisation, fonden for miljøuddannelse i Europa med hjemsted i Danmark.
The blue flag system is organized by a non-governmental organization based in Denmark, the Foundation for Environmental Education in Europe, which is also res ponsible for making awards.
Kommissionen er følge lig ikke bemyndiget til at tildele det blå flag.
The Commission therefore has no say in the award of blue flags.
Den er dog ikke helt udelukket fra proceduren, eftersom den giver oplysninger om et enkelt af kriterierne for tildeling af det blå flag, nemlig kvaliteten af badevandet.
It does, however, play a part in the process, since it provides information on one of the basic criteria for the award of a blue flag, namely the quality of bathing waters.
Kommissionen har fremsendt klagen til fonden og anmodet fondens nationale an svarlige om at oplyse, hvilke betingelser, der lå til grund for tildeling af det blå flag til den pågældende strand. Der vil snarest blive fremsendt en rapport om undersøgelsen. gelsen.
The Commission forwarded the complaint to the Foundation and asked the Foundation's national operator to provide information on the circumstances under which a blue flag had been awarded to the beach in question.
Kommissionen har samtidig indledt en procedure for overtrædelse af traktatens arti kel 169 mod Portugal for eventuelt at have foretaget manipulation af analyserne af vandprøverne (overtrædelse af direktiv 76/160/EØF om badevand).
At the same time, the Commission initiated infringement proceedings against Portugal, pursuant to Article 169 of the Treaty, for alleged manipulation of the re sults of tests on water samples (breach of Directive 76/160/EEC on bathing waters). ters).
For så vidt angår de portugisiske myndigheders anvendelse af fællesskabsmidlerne, har Kommissionens undersøgelse ikke kunnet påvise nogen form for svig.
No evidence of fraudulent use of Community funds by the Portuguese authorities emerged from the inquiries conducted by the Commission.
Dels på baggrund af, at det blå flag ikke er blevet tildelt Armação de Pêra for 1996, dels på baggrund af de skridt, Kommissionen har indledt inden for rammerne af dens beføjelser over for de kompetence myndigheder og organer, anses de legitime spørgsmål, som C. rejser i sin klage, som besvaret.
Therefore, in view of the fact that a blue flag had not been awarded to the beach at Armação de Pêra for 1 996, and of the action which, within the limits of its powers, the Commission had taken vis-à-vis the authorities and organizations responsible, it was felt that a satisfactory response had been given to the legitimate questions raised by Mr C. in his complaint.
På baggrund af C.'s beslutning om at tage sin klage tilbage har den europæiske ombudsmand ikke fundet det begrundet med yderligere undersøgelser og besluttet at afslutte behandlingen af sagen.
Following Mr C.'s decision to withdraw his complaint, the European Ombudsman decided not to conduct further enquiries and closed the case.
Et firma, som havde kontrakt med Europa-Kommissionen, indgav klage i november 1995 vedrørende sen betaling af en faktura inden for rammerne af TACIS Donau miljøprogrammet. Fakturaen var blevet sendt til Kommissionen i februar 1994, men blev først betalt flere måneder senere, selv om den kontraktmæssige frist var 30 dage.
A company which had entered a contract with the European Commission lodged a complaint in November 1995 concerning the late settlement of an invoice within the framework of the Tacis Danube Environmental Programme.
Ombudsmanden anmodede Kommissionen om bemærkninger.
The European Ombudsman asked the Commission for its comments.
Kommissionens svar blev fremsendt til klageren. Firmaet stillede sig tilfreds med at få en undskyldning fra Kommissionen sammen med tilbuddet om renter på grund af sen betaling.
In its reply, the Commission considered that the payment to the company had been made later than was reasonable and that interest should be paid.
Sagen blev således løst på en for klageren tilfredsstillende måde, hvorfor ombuds manden besluttede at afslutte behandlingen af sagen.
The Commission's reply was sent to the complainant. The company was willing to accept an apology from the Commission, together with an offer to pay interest on the overdue amount.
DIREKTIVET OM IKKE-LIVSFORSIKRING
The case was thus solved in a satisfactory manner for the complainant and the European Ombudsman decided to close the case.
Afgørelse i klagerne 311/4. 1.96/CN/B-FR
Decision on complaints 256/23.1 and 31 1/4. 1.96/CN/B-FR against
Klagerne vedrører Kommissionens fortolkning af direktiv 92/49/EØF om forsikringsvirksomhed bortset fra livsforsikring.
The complaints focus on the interpretation by the European Commission of Directive 92/49/EEC on non-life insurance.
Et forsikringsselskab med hjemsted i Frankrig informerede i oktober 1995 sine kun der i Belgien, klagerne, om, at det havde besluttet ikke længere at forsikre risici for forsikringstagere med bopæl i udlandet "på grund af fællesskabsbestemmelserne vedrørende fri udveksling af tjenesteydelser".
In October 1995 an insurance company based in France notified its clients in Belgium (the complainants) of its decision to cease to provide insurance cover for persons resident abroad 'owing to the Community provisions on freedom to provide services'.
Man sigtede hermed på ikrafttrædelsen af forsikringsdirektiverne den 1. juli 1994 og de ¡uridiske begrænsninger, som disse direktiver indfører.
This action had been prompted by the entry into force on 1 July 1994 of the third insurance directives and the legal requirements deriving therefrom.
De rettede derpå henvendelse til den europæiske ombuds mand vedrørende Kommissionens fortolkning af disse fællesskabsdirektiver, ¡det de fandt, at opsigelsen af deres kontrakt skyldtes disse tekster.
The complainants therefore wrote to the European Ombudsman about the Commission's interpretation of these Community directives, which they deemed to be the cause of the termination of their insurance policies.
Den europæiske ombudsmand rettede henvendelse til Kommissionen, som frem sendte sine bemærkninger.
The Ombudsman notified the Commission, which forwarded its comments on the matter.
Kommissionen redegjorde først og fremmest for den juridiske ordning i disse direktiver vedrørende adgang til forsikringsordningen og udøvelsen heraf.
The Commission first outlined the legal provisions governing the taking up and pursuit of the business of insurance which were laid down in the directives.
Den opridsede dernæst de eksisterende forhold i visse medlemsstater inden ikrafttrædelsen af disse direktiver og præciserede endelig Kommissionens holdning til omtalte klager.
It then explained the situation in some Member States prior to the entry into force of the di rectives and, lastly, set out the Commission's position on the complaints lodged.
Klagerne fremsatte ikke kommentarer til disse bemærkninger bortset fra en tak til ombudsmanden for hans mellemkomst.
The complainants had no observations to make on the Commission's comments, and simply thanked the Ombudsman for his efforts on their behalf.
Inden ikrafttrædelsen af disse forsikringsdirektiver forbød visse medlemsstater, her under Belgien, forsikringsselskaber etableret i en anden stat at dække risici på deres område, hvis disse ikke var etableret der. Manglende overholdelse af denne betingelse ville medføre sanktioner, især annullering af kontrakten.
Prior to the entry into force of the insurance directives some Member States, including Belgium, prohibited insurance companies based in another Member State from providing cover for risks on their territories if they were not established there.
De tre forsikringsdirektiver tager sigte på at ophæve denne situation, som er i strid med frie tjenesteydelser på forsikringsområdet, ved at give ethvert forsikringsselskab etableret i en medlemsstat mulighed for at dække risici i en anden medlemsstat uden at behøve at være etableret der.
The third insurance directives seek to put an end to this situation, which conflicts with the principle of freedom to provide services in the insurance field, by enabling any insurer based in a Member State to provide cover for risks in another Member State, without having to be established there.
Dette forudsætter dog, at "værts"-staten kan udøve kontrol med dette forsikringsselskabs aktiviteter.
This supposes, however, that the 'host' Member State is able to exert control over the activities of such insurers.
Den nye ordning pålægger følgelig forsikringsselskaberne visse for pligtelser.
Under the new system, therefore, insurers must meet various requirements.
Et forsikringsselskab i en medlemsstat skal f.eks. overholde visse gældende bestemmelser i den stat, hvor det dækker risici, især dens fiskale bestemmelser.
An insurer based in one Member State must, for example, comply with certain rules applying in the Member State in which it provides cover for risks, inter alia those governing taxation.
I det pågældende tilfælde er det muligt, at klagernes forsikringsselskab har ment, at disse forpligtelser var for omfattende, hvorfor det besluttede at begrænse sine aktiviteter til Frankrig og opsagde de kontrakter, som dækkede risici i Belgien.
In the case in point, the complainants' insurer may have considered these require ments to be too much of a burden and decided to restrict their activities to France, thereby terminating policies covering risks in Belgium.
Der er dog tale om et valg, som kan tillægges det pågældende selskabs handelsstrategi, men som på ingen måde er påbudt i fællesskabsdirektiverne på dette område, for så vidt som andre forsikringsselskaber har valgt at underkaste sig denne nye ord ning.
This, however, would have been a commercial decision taken for strategic reasons, and cannot be seen as having any connection with the Community insurance directives, given that other in surers have chosen to operate within the new system.
På denne baggrund fandt den europæiske ombudsmand det ikke begrundet at foretage yderligere undersøgelser og afsluttede behandlingen af sagen.
Given the above, the European Ombudsman decided that no further inquiries were justified and closed the case.
GODTGØRELSE AF UDGIFTER TIL REJSE OG OPHOLD
REIMBURSEMENT OF TRAVEL AND SUBSISTENCE EXPENSES

Decision on complaint

450/20.2.96/JF/A/KT-en against the European
I juli 1995 ankom F. til Bruxelles for at deltage i den mundtlige prøve som led i en udvælgelsesprøve.
In July 1 995, Mr F. travelled to Brussels to take the oral examination for a competition.
Kommissionen rådede ham til at henvende sig til dens rejsebureau, som ordnede et særligt hotelprisarrangement for ham.
The European Commission advised him to contact its travel agency, which made a special hotel rate arrangement for him.
Herudover fik han refunderet sine rejseudgifter fra Bruxelles lufthavn til byen samt returbilletten.
Moreover, his travel expenses from Brussels airport into town were reimbursed, as was the return fare.
I september 1995 blev han af Kommissionen indkaldt til en lægeundersøgelse og nogle samtaler i Bruxelles.
In September 1995, he was invited to Brussels by the Commission for a medical examination and for interviews.
På. samme måde, som han havde gjort i juli, henvendte han sig på ny til Kommissionens rejsebureau, men fik at vide, at Kommissionen ikke havde givet det tilladelse til at opnå et særligt hotelprisarrangement.
As he had done in July, he contacted the Commission's travel agent, but was informed that the Commission had not authorized him to obtain special hotel rates.
Det billigste hotel, hvor han kunne få et værelse, var dyrere end det, han havde fået i juli.
The cheapest hotel he could book was more expensive than the one in July.
Som følge heraf oversteg hoteludgifterne med henblik på lægeundersøgelse og samtaler den godtgørelse af udgifter, som Kommissionen udbetalte.
As a result, the hotel expenses for the medical examination and for the interviews exceeded the final reimbursement made by the Commission.
Den europæiske ombudsmand anmodede om Kommissionens bemærkninger til klagen. gen.
The European Ombudsman wrote to ask for the Commission's comments on the complaint.
I sit svar forklarede Kommissionen, at i henhold til artikel 8 i bestemmelserne om refusion af udgifter til rejse og ophold for eksterne personer, som er indkaldt til at del tage i en udvælgelsesprøve, samtaler eller lægeundersøgelse (i det følgende omtalt som "bestemmelserne"), refunderes opholdsudgifterne med en daglig godtgørelse i form af et fast beløb (og ikke som fuld refusion) til dækning af kandidaternes udgifter. ter.
In its reply, the Commission explained that, as laid down in Article 8 of the 'Rules for the reimbursement of travel and subsistence expenses for persons outside the Community invited to attend a competition, interview or medical examination' (hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules'), subsistence expenses were reimbursed by means of a daily allowance meant as a flatrate contribution towards (and not as full reimbursement of) the candidate's expenses.
For så vidt angår togbilletten fra lufthavnen til Bruxelles, findes der ingen bestemmelser om refusion heraf, men i praksis refunderes denne billetpris, hvis kandidaten anmoder herom.
As to the train ticket from the airport to Brussels, the Rules make no provision for reimbursement; in practice, however, this fare was reimbursed at the candidate's request.
Det særlige hotelprisarrangement, klageren nød godt af i juli 1995, var ikke nogen standardprocedure, men en exceptionel foreteelse på grund af den korte frist mellem den skriftlige og den mundtlige prøve.
The special hotel rate arranged for the complainant in July 1995 was not a standard procedure and was only granted because of the shortness of the interval between the written and oral tests.
Kommissionens bemærkninger blev fremsendt til klageren med henblik på at ind hente hans bemærkninger hertil.
The comments of the Commission were sent to the complainant for his observations.
Han oplyste den europæiske ombudsmand om, at han ikke havde kendskab til ovennævnte bestemmelser, og at han aldrig havde fået at vide, at det særlige arrangement i juli 1995 var af exceptionel karakter.
He informed the Ombudsman that he was not aware of the Rules and that he had not been informed that the special arrangement of July 1995 was an exceptional measure.
Da Kommissionen i september 1995 indkaldte F. til Bruxelles med henblik på lægeundersøgelse og samtaler, oplyste den ham i indkaldelsesskrivelsen, at
When the Commission invited Mr F. to Brussels for the medical examination and for interviews in September 1 995, it stated in its letter that will be reimbursed according to the
"Deres rejseudgifter vil i påkommende tilfælde blive refunderet i henhold til bestemmelserne i vedføjede cirkulære".
'where appropriate, your travel expenses conditions set out on the attached form '.
Det vedføjede cirkulære indeholdt ovennævnte bestemmelser.
The attached form contained the above-mentioned Rules.
Det fremgik følgelig, at disse "bestemmelser" var blevet meddelt klageren i september 1995.
It appeared therefore that the Rules had been communicated to the complainant in September 1995.
Bestemmelserne indeholdt alle de relevante betingelser, hvorefter der ydes refusion til kandidaterne.
These Rules set out all the relevant conditions under which candidates are reimbursed.
F. fik refusion i henhold til artikel 8, stk. 3, i bestemmelserne, som foreskriver en fast godtgørelse på 50 ECU om dagen.
Mr F. was reimbursed pursuant to Article 8 (3) of the Rules, which provides for a flatrate allowance of ECU 50 per day.
Kandidatens udgifter, som blev dækket af denne faste godtgørelse, var hotelophold, måltider, lokal transport, herunder undergrundsbanen i Bruxelles.
The candidate's expenses covered by this flatrate allowance were accommodation, meals, and local transport, including the Brussels metro.
På denne baggrund fandt den europæiske ombudsmand det ikke begrundet at foretage yderligere undersøgelser og afsluttede behandlingen af sagen.
In view of these findings, the European Ombudsman decided that no further inqui ries were justified and closed the case.
ADGANG TIL OPLYSNINGER OM RESULTATET AF EN UDVÆLGELSESPRØVE
ACCESS TO INFORMATION ON THE OUTCOME OF A COMPETITION
Afgørelse i klage 485/13.3.
Decision on complaint
V., der var opført som bestået på en reserveliste efter en generel udvælgelsesprøve afholdt af Kommissionen, var ikke blevet kontaktet af Kommissionens tjenestegrene med henblik på eventuel ansættelse, efter at der var gået flere måneder.
Several months after having been placed on a reserve list following a European Commission competition, Mr V had yet to be contacted by the Commission with a view to his recruitment.
Han ret tede henvendelse til disse tjenestegrene for at anmode om oplysninger om, hvor mange, der havde bestået udvælgelsesprøven, hvor han selv var placeret på listen, samt hvor mange beståede kandidater, der allerede var ansat, og deres placering på listen.
He wrote to the Commission asking for information on the number of persons on the reserve list and his own position on the list, as well as the number and position on the list of the successful candidates already recruited.
Kommissionens tjenestegrene besvarede kun det første spørgsmål, mens den for de to andre spørgsmåls vedkommende henviste til fortrolighed.
The Commission replied to the first question only, stating that the other two matters were confidential.
V. indgav i marts 1996 klage til den europæiske ombudsmand.
Mr V. lodged a complaint with the European Ombudsman in March 1996.
Den europæiske ombudsmand informerede Kommissionen om klagen.
The Ombudsman forwarded notification of the complaint to the Commission.
I sine bemærkninger supplerede Kommissionen de oplysninger, den tidligere havde frem sendt til klageren, hvori den også besvarede de to andre spørgsmål.
In its comments, the Commission supplemented the information already sent to the com plainant by replying to the two other questions.
Disse bemærkninger fremsendtes til klageren med henblik på at indhente hans bemærkninger hertil.
These comments were forwarded to the complainant for his observations.
Han meddelte den europæiske ombudsmand om, at han var tilfreds med Kommissionens supplerende svar.
He informed the Ombudsman that he was satisfied with the further reply given by the Commission.
Den europæiske ombudsmand afsluttede herefter behandlingen af sagen.
The European Ombudsman therefore closed the case.
