Kapitel 3 indeholder sammendrag af 16 afgørelser, som viser, hvordan Ombudsmanden arbejder med denne type klager.
Chapter 3 contains summaries of 16 decisions that illustrate how the Ombudsman deals with complaints of this kind.
11 af sagerne vil blive beskrevet her.
Eleven of the cases will be mentioned further here.
Klager vedrørende ansæmelseskontrakter er beskrevet i afsnit 2.8.4.
Complaints relating to employment contracts are dealt with in sub-section 2.8.4.
To afgørelser drejede sig om sager, hvor Kommissionens repræsentationer i medlemsstaterne havde afgivet mundtlige l ø W er om finansiering til klagerne.
Two decisions concerned cases in which Commission Representations in Member States had made oral commitments to provide funding to the complainants.
Kommissionen løste selv sag 501/2005/IP ved at betale klageren, mens Ombudsmandens undersøgelse i sag 2111/2002/MF førte til en mindelig løsning, som omfamede et større erstatningsbeløb.
The Commission semled case 501/2005/IP itself by making a payment to the complainant, whilst in case 2111/2002/MF, the Ombudsman’s inquiry led to a friendly solution involving a significant sum by way of compensation.
I sag 732/2004/ELB fandt Ombudsmanden, at Kommissionen syntes at have opfyldt sit ansvar for at forvalte Den Europæiske Fond for Regionaludvikling korrekt, herunder at konstatere, at medlemsstaternes forvaltnings- og kontrolsystemer er hensigtsmæssige og tilstrækkelige til at sikre, at de myndigheder, der skal betale, opfylder deres forpligtelse til at betale remidigt. idigt.
In case 732/2004/ELB, the Ombudsman took the view that the Commission appeared to have discharged its responsibility for the proper management of the European Regional Development Funds, including satisfying itself that the management and control systems adopted by Member States are appropriate and adequate to ensure that paying authorities comply with their obligation of timely payment.
Ombudsmandens undersøgelse af en klage fra en lille virksomhed (sag 530/2004/GG) afslørede, at der var et generelt problem for underkontrahenter: De kontraktlige rammer indeholdt ikke nogen krav eller opfordringer til hovedkontrahenten om at opkræve rente på vegne af underkontrahenterne, hvis Kommissionen betalte for sent.
The Ombudsman’s inquiry into a complaint from a small enterprise (case 530/2004/GG) revealed a general problem facing sub-contractors: the contractual framework neither required nor encouraged the main contractor to claim interest on behalf of sub-contractors if there was late payment by the Commission.
Ombudsmanden foreslog, at Kommissionen skulle overveje at ændre sine standardkontrakter, således at der automatisk ville blive udbetalt rente i disse tilfælde.
The Ombudsman suggested that the Commission consider altering its standard contracts so that payment of interest in such cases would become automatic.
Kommissionen svarede, at den ville forsøge at tage højde for SMV’ernes interesser i fremtidige standardkontrakter i det omfang, dem e er foreneligt med Fællesskabets økonomiske interesser og den gældende lovgivning.
In response, the Commission said that it would try to take into account the interests of SMEs in future standard contracts, to the extent that this is compatible with the Community’s financial interests and the legislative provisions in force.
Standardbetingelserne i kontrakter var også genstand for klage 338/2004/OV, hvor klageren, som var en ngo, gjorde gældende, at Kommissionen skulle t r æ T e strengere foranstaltninger for at forhindre jobannoncer, som antyder, at der vil blive udøvet forskelsbehandling på grund af sprog.
Standard contractual conditions were also at issue in case 338/2004/OV, in which the complainant NGO argued that the Commission should take stronger measures to prevent job advertisements that indicate an intention to discriminate on grounds of language.
Ombudsmanden accepterede Kommissionens argumenter mod, at den i sine egne kontrakter skulle indsæme særklausuler mod sådan forskelsbehandling.
The Ombudsman accepted the Commission’s arguments against the inclusion, in its own contracts, of special clauses forbidding such discrimination.
Ombudsmanden foreslog endvidere, at Kommissionen kunne oversende eventuelle beviser på forskelsbehandling på grund af sprog fra en kontrahents eller stømemodtagers side til den ansvarlige nationale myndighed eller give den person, der fremsender sådanne beviser, denne myndigheds kontaktoplysninger.
The Ombudsman also suggested that the Commission could transmit any evidence of linguistic discrimination by one of its contractors or beneficiaries to the responsible national authority or provide the person submiming the evidence with the contact details of that authority.
Der var fi re afgørelser om klager om tildeling af tilskudskontrakter.
Four decisions concerned complaints about the award of grant contracts.
I to sager anfægtede klageren en afgørelse om at afvise en ansøgning.
In two cases, the complainant challenged the merits of the decision to reject an application.
Ombudsmanden fandt, at hans undersøgelse af begrundelserne for en sådan afvisning skulle være begrænset til at omfame en vurdering af, om der var sket en klar fejl (1365/2004/TN og 758/2004/ELB). I sidstnævnte sag fandt Ombudsmanden, at det, at der manglede en mekanisme til at klage over ua[ængige eksperters vurderinger, ikke i sig selv udgjorde strukturelle eller systemiske fejl eller forsømmelser.
The Ombudsman took the view that his review of the grounds for rejection should be limited to assessing whether there was a manifest error (1365/2004/TN and 758/2004/ELB).
Under de specifikke omstændigheder i sag 2411/2003/MHZ fandt Ombudsmanden, at Kommissionen skulle have rådgivet en ngo bedre ved at henlede opmærksomheden på en grundlæggende betingelse for at være beremiget til en tilskudstype.
In the specific circumstances of case 2411/2003/MHZ, the Ombudsman took the view that the Commission should have given bemer advice to an NGO by drawing its amention to a fundamental condition of eligibility for a type of grant.
I sag 2673/2004/PB fandt Ombudsmanden, at Kommissionens forklaring på sin beslutning om at udelukke overskudsgivende enheder fra en bestemt indkaldelse af forslag var rimelig.
In case 2673/2004/PB, the Ombudsman found the Commission’s explanation of its decision to exclude profit-making entities from eligibility for a particular call for proposals to be reasonable.
To afgørelser omhandlede Kommissionens overholdelse af udbudsprocedurer.
Two decisions concerned the Commission’s compliance with tender procedures.
I sag 1808/2004/JMA same klageren spørgsmålstegn ved korrektheden af en telefonsamtale mellem Kommissionens tjenestegrene og en anden bydende.
In 1808/2004/JMA, the complainant questioned the propriety of a telephone conversation that had taken place between the Commission services and a rival bidder.
Ombudsmanden fandt ikke, at der var foregået noget ureglementeret, men bemærkede, at det ville have været nemmere for Kommissionen at behandle klagerens klage, hvis den havde kunnet udlevere en udskriW af den pågældende telefonsamtale.
The Ombudsman found no evidence of impropriety but noted that it would have been easier for the Commission to have dealt with the complainant’s concerns if it had been able to produce a wrimen record of the telephone conversation in question.
Ombudsmanden foreslog derfor, at Kommissionen skulle revidere sine interne regler om udskrivning af telefonsamtaler i forbindelse med udbud.
The Ombudsman therefore suggested that the Commission review its internal rules on telephone logs in the framework of calls for tender.
I sag 538/2004/TN rejstes spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt en bydende var beremiget til at kræve, at Kommissionen strengt skulle håndhæve et krav om det antal eksemplarer, et tilbud skulle indsendes i.
Case 538/2004/TN raised a question as to whether a bidder was entitled to insist that the Commission should strictly enforce a requirement concerning the number of copies of each tender that had to be submimed.
Kommissionen mente ikke, at den korrekte anvendelse af dens vademecum om offentlige indkøbsprocedurer krævede, at den skulle udelukke et tilbud, som ikke var blevet indsendt i det antal eksemplarer, der fastlægges i udbuddet. Ombudsmanden foreslog, at Kommissionen for at forhindre, at bydende, som indsender det korrekte antal eksemplarer, føler sig urimeligt behandlet, kunne tage forholdet mellem sit vademecum og udbud op til fornyet overvejelse i denne henseende.
The Commission adopted the position that correct application of its Vade Mecum on public procurement procedures did not require it to consider as inadmissible a bid that had not been submimed in the number of copies specified in the call for tenders.
Kommissionen henviste i sit svar til principperne om proportionalitet, ligebehandling og ikke-forskelsbehandling samt om, at bud skal indkaldes fra så bred en kreds som muligt, i finansforordningens artikel 89.
The Commission’s response referred to the principles of proportionality, equal

COMPLAINTS AND INQUIRIES treatment, nondiscrimination and broadest competition, laid down in Article 89 of the Financial Regulation.
Dem e afsnit omhandler afgørelser om klager over ansæmelse i og arbejdsforhold mellem EU’s institutioner og organer, personalespørgsmål i forbindelse med EU-finansierede kontrakter samt praktikophold i EU’s institutioner.
This sub-section concerns decisions on complaints about: recruitment to, and work relationships with, the EU institutions and bodies; personnel mamers arising under EU-funded contracts; and traineeships with the EU institutions.
I afsnit 2.8.1 ovenfor er det allerede nævnt, at der var tre sager, hvor der blev fremsat forslag til henstillinger vedrørende de oplysninger, der gives til ansøgere i udvælgelsesprocedurer (se sammendrag af sag 2097/2003/PB i afsnit 3.1.3 nedenfor).
Section 2.8.1 above has already noted that three cases were closed in which draW recommendations had been made concerning the information available to candidates in recruitment competitions (see summary of case 2097/2003/PB in section 3.1.3 below).
Kapitel 3 indeholder 15 andre sammendrag af afgørelser i denne kategori.
Chapter 3 contains 15 other summaries of decisions in this category.
Fem af sagerne gav anledning til mindelige løsninger, mens to andre blev løst af institutionen.
Five of the cases gave rise to friendly solutions and two others were semled by the institution.
Seks af sagerne vil blive beskrevet her.
Six cases will be mentioned further here.
I sag 839/2004/MHZ foreslog Ombudsmanden, at EPSO for at undgå misforståelser og forbedre forholdet til kandidater i fremtidige meddelelser om udvælgelsesprøver udtrykkeligt kunne anføre, (i) at en invitation til en stopprøve ikke betyder, at kandidatens opfyldelse af kriterierne er blevet undersøgt til bunds, og (ii) at skriWlige prøver fra kandidater, som senere viser sig ikke at opfylde kriterierne, ikke vil blive remet.
In case 839/2004/MHZ, the Ombudsman suggested that, to avoid misunderstandings and improve relations with candidates, EPSO could make explicit in future notices of competition (i) that an invitation to am end pre-selection tests does not imply that the candidate’s eligibility has been fully checked and (ii) that the wrimen tests of candidates who are subsequently found to be ineligible will not be marked.
EPSO meddelte e W erfølgende, at det ville indsæme dem e i fremtidige meddelelser om udvælgelsesprøver.
EPSO subsequently announced that future notices of competition would indeed mention these two points.
I sag 2107/2002/PB accepterede Kommissionen et forslag til henstilling om, at den fra 1. marts 2005 skulle af sk aT e aldersgrænsen for praktikanter.
In case 2107/2002/PB, the Commission accepted, with eT ect from 1 March 2005, a draW recommendation to abolish its age limit for traineeships.
Ombudsmanden meddelte, at der senere vil blive iværksat en undersøgelse på eget initiativ om andre institutioners og organers praksis i denne henseende.
The Ombudsman announced that a further own-initiative inquiry into the practices of other institutions and bodies in this regard will be launched in the future.
To afgørelser omhandlede opsigelse af ansæmelseskontrakter. elseskontrakter.
Two decisions dealt with the termination of employment contracts.
I sag 2191/2003/TN sagde en ekspert ansat af Kommissionen op e W er at have været udsat for krænkelser og trusler i et land uden for EU.
In case 2191/2003/TN, an expert employed by the Commission resigned a W er becoming subject to insults and threats in a non-EU country.
EWer sin undersøgelse fandt Ombudsmanden, at Kommissionen syntes at have t r u T et passende foranstaltninger til at hjælpe klageren.
At the end of his inquiry, the Ombudsman considered that the Commission appeared to have taken appropriate action to assist the complainant.
Han påpegede imidlertid, at det ville have bidraget til at skabe et bedre forhold mellem Kommissionen og klageren, hvis Kommissionen på et tidligere tidspunkt havde forklaret, hvad den havde gjort for at hjælpe klageren, i stedet for at give det indtryk, at den primært forsøgte at bevise, at klageren selv var skyld i problemerne.
However, he pointed out that it would have been conducive to bemer relations between the Commission and the complainant for the Commission to have explained earlier what it had done to help the complainant, rather than giving the impression that it was mainly concerned to show that the complainant was the author of his own misfortune.
Kommissionen undskyldte e W erfølgende og lovede at tage Ombudsmandens bemærkninger til e W erretning.
The Commission subsequently apologised and promised to take note of the remark for the future.
Sag 471/2004/OV var en opfølgning på en tidligere klage (sag 1200/2003/OV, beskrevet i årsberetningen for 2004), hvor Ombudsmanden fandt, at forsvarets remigheder ikke var blevet respekteret for klageren, da Den Europæiske Unions politimission i Sarajevo (EUPM) opsagde hans kontrakt før tid.
Case 471/2004/OV was a follow-up to an earlier complaint (case 1200/2003/OV, reported in the Annual Report 2004) in which the Ombudsman found that the complainant’s rights of defence had not been respected when the European Union Police Mission in Sarajevo (EUPM) terminated his contract early.
EWer at Ombudsmanden anmodede om Rådets bistand, indvilligede EUPM i at betale klageren den løn, han var beremiget til indtil kontraktens egentlige ophør.
AWer the Ombudsman requested the Council’s assistance, the EUPM agreed to pay the complainant the salary due to the normal end of the contract.
Ombudsmanden anførte endvidere, at klageren var beremiget til at betragte sit navn som renset på grundlag af resultatet i sag 1200/2003/OV.
The Ombudsman also stated that the complainant was entitled to regard the finding in case 1200/2003/OV as clearing his name.
To andre afgørelser omhandlede visse særlige procedurer for Fællesskabets personale.
Two other decisions dealt with certain special procedures applicable to staT of the Communities.
I sag 140/2004/PB analyserede Ombudsmanden de tidligere regler om anmeldelse og fandt bl.a., at OLAF ifølge reglerne i alle tilfælde skulle oplyse anmelderen om, hvornår det regnede med at afslume sin undersøgelse.
In case 140/2004/PB, the Ombudsman analysed the former rules governing “whistle-blowing” and considered, among other things, that the rules required OLAF to provide the whistle-blower, in all cases, with information as to the period of time within which it expected to conclude its investigation.
I sag 620/2004/PB fandt Ombudsmanden, at remen til en høring skal respekteres i en administrativ undersøgelse af en påstand om chikane begået af en tjenestemand mod en anden tjenestemand.
In case 620/2004/PB, the Ombudsman considered that the right to a hearing must be respected in an administrative inquiry into an allegation of harassment made by one oU cial against another.
Det var imidlertid ikke nødvendigt, at alt det materiale, som undersøgerne havde anvendt, skulle udleveres til klageren, hvis klageren før færdiggørelsen af undersøgelsesrapporten blev underremet om og fi k rimelig mulighed for at kommentere undersøgernes foreløbige resultater og indholdet i de relevante beviser.
However, it was not necessary that all the materials relied on by the investigators be communicated to the complainant, provided that, before the inquiry report was finalised, the complainant was

Kapitel 3 indeholder endvidere 11 sammendrag af afgørelser om klager, som falder uden for de ovenfor beskrevne kategorier.
Chapter 3 also contains eleven summaries of decisions on complaints that fall outside the categories dealt with in the preceding sub-sections.
Tre af disse sager omhandlede Europaskolerne.
Three of the cases concerned the European Schools.
I sag 1435/2003/MF accepterede Kommissionen et forslag til henstilling om, at den skulle søge at præcisere betingelserne for optagelse af elever i Europaskolernes sprogafdelinger. Kommissionen traf e W erfølgende tilfredsstillende foranstaltninger til at gennemføre henstillingen.
In case 1435/2003/MF, the Commission accepted, and took satisfactory measures to implement, a draW recommendation that it should endeavour to clarify the conditions of admission of pupils in the language sections of the European Schools.
I sag 1155/2004/TN præciserede Kommissionen på Ombudsmandens foranledning, at man i forbindelse med de fremtidige reformtiltag, der nævnes i undersøgelse på eget initiativ OI/5/2003/LH (se Ombudsmandens årsberetning for 2004), ville medtage overholdelse af chartret om grundlæggende remigheder på alle Europaskoler.
In case 1155/2004/TN, the Commission clarified, at the Ombudsman’s request, that the future reform measures mentioned during the own-initiative inquiry OI/5/2003/LH (see the Ombudsman’s Annual Report 2004) would include observance of the Charter of Fundamental Rights in all the European Schools.
Den tredje sag (1391/2002/JMA og andre) gav anledning til en særlig beretning til Europa-Parlamentet e W er et forslag til henstilling om, at Kommissionen skulle t r æ T e de nødvendige foranstaltninger til at sikre, at forældre til børn med særlige pædagogiske behov, som ikke kan gå på Europaskolerne pga. graden af deres handicap, ikke behøver at bidrage til omkostningerne ved deres børns undervisning.
The third case (1391/2002/JMA and others) gave rise to a Special Report to the European Parliament, following a draW recommendation that the Commission should take the necessary steps to ensure that parents of children with special educational needs who are excluded from the European Schools because of their degree of disability should not be required to contribute to the educational costs of their children.
Spørgsmålet om ligebehandling af handicappede blev også rejst i forbindelse med klager over, at Kommissionen og Rådet havde undladt at stille et tilstrækkeligt antal parkeringspladser til rådighed for handicappede ved Kommissionens og Rådets hovedbygninger i Bruxelles (fælles sammendrag af sag 2415/2003/JMA og 237/2004/JMA).
The question of equality of treatment for disabled persons also arose in the context of complaints that the Commission and the Council had failed to ensure a s u U cient number of parking spaces for people with disabilities near the main Commission and Council buildings in Brussels (joint summary of cases 2415/2003/JMA and 237/2004/JMA).
Ombudsmanden glædede sig over, at Kommissionen og Rådet anmodede de belgiske myndigheder om at sikre yderligere parkeringspladser, og bad om at blive holdt underremet om resultaterne.
The Ombudsman welcomed the Commission’s and the Council’s requests to the Belgian authorities to ensure additional parking places and asked to be kept informed of the results.
Ombudsmanden opfordrede endvidere Rådet til at genoverveje sin politik med at begrænse adgangen til parkeringspladser for handicappede af sikkerhedshensyn.
The Ombudsman also invited the Council to reconsider its policy of limiting access to parking spaces for disabled people on grounds of security.
To afgørelser omhandlede Det Europæiske Kontor for Bekæmpelse af Svig (OLAF).
Two decisions concerned the European Anti-Fraud OU ce (OLAF).
I sag 2485/2004/GG nægtede OLAF at acceptere et forslag til henstilling om, at det skulle anerkende, at det havde fremsat ukorrekte og vildledende erklæringer i forbindelse med Ombudsmandens undersøgelser af en tidligere sag.
In case 2485/2004/GG, OLAF refused, in eTect, to accept a draW recommendation that it should acknowledge it had made incorrect and misleading statements in its submissions during the Ombudsman’s inquiry into an earlier case.
Ombudsmanden fandt, at sagen rejste et vigtigt principielt spørgsmål, som havde indvirkning på borgernes tillid til EU’s institutioner og organer.
The Ombudsman considered that the case raised an important issue of principle, aTecting the trust of citizens in the EU institutions and bodies.
Han udarbejdede derfor en særlig beretning til Europa-Parlamentet.
He therefore made a Special Report to the European Parliament.
I sag 3446/2004/GG accepterede og imødekom OLAF et forslag til henstilling om at gennemgå og reme oplysninger i en presseanalyse på sit websted.
In case 3446/2004/GG, OLAF accepted and took satisfactory measures to implement a draW recommendation to review and correct information contained in a press review published on its website.
Endelig klagede det svenske Finlands folketing i sag 1737/2004/TN over, at plakater, som var blevet brugt i Finland i Europa-Parlamentets oplysningskampagne i forbindelse med valget til Europa-Parlamentet i 2004, kun var blevet lavet på finsk.
Finally, in case 1737/2004/TN, the Swedish Assembly of Finland complained that posters used in that country as part of the European Parliament’s information campaign for the 2004 European elections had been published only in the Finnish language.
Ombudsmandens undersøgelse resulterede i en mindelig løsning, hvor Parlamentet anerkendte kampagnens mangler, samt at størrelsen på den svensktalende del af den finske befolkning ikke er relevant for dem e sprogs status som oUcielt sprog i EU eller dets status i den finske grundlov.
The Ombudsman’s inquiry resulted in a friendly solution, in which Parliament acknowledged the shortcomings of the campaign, as well as the fact that the proportion of the Finnish population that speaks Swedish is not relevant to the status of that language as an oU cial language of the EU or to its status under the Finnish Constitution.
