Den 26. maj 1997 fremlagde sagsøgeren en version, benævnt »version 1«, af sin endelige rapport for Kommissionen.
The costs amounted to EUR 249 213.93, of which EUR 120 307.40 represented the applicant's own costs, while the balance represented the costs applied for on behalf of the other participants in the project.
Sagsøgeren har nedlagt følgende påstande:
The costs submitted to the Commission were calculated in Belgian francs and were converted into ecus by the applicant at the exchange rate applying on 19 July 1996.
Kommissionen tilpligtes at betale sagsøgeren et beløb i euro svarende til 74 967 ECU med tillæg af renter 7% (den lovbestemte rentesats i Belgien) fra den 5. juni 1998.
By letter of 22 November 1996, the Commission, using the BEF/ECU exchange rate applying on that date, accepted costs reported by the applicant amounting to ECU 67 342 but refused to accept the remainder, namely ECU 51 361.
Sagsøgeren tilpligtes at betale Kommissionen 54 486 EUR med tillæg af renter 7% fra den 31. januar 1999.
In the letter of 22 November 1996, the Commission also sanctioned a first periodic payment to the applicant of ECU 160 015 (ofwhich EUR 67 342 represented the costs accepted by the Commission as the applicant's own expenses, while the balance represented the costs of the other participants in the project).
Ifølge Kommissionens skrivelse af 1. april 1998 afviste Kommissionen foreløbigt samtlige de i sagsøgerens anden udgiftsopgørelse anmeldte omkostninger, for så vidt som de var ved at blive kontrolleret Det samlede beløb af afviste udgifter vedrørende den anden periode udgjorde således 169 346 ECU.
The total amount of costs rejected in respect of the second period thus amounted to ECU 169 346.
Kommissionen meddelte under disse betingelser i sin skrivelse, at der ikke ville blive iværksat nogen betaling, da det samlede beløb af allerede godkendte udgifter på 340 636 ECU (180 621 + 160 015) var mindre end det til den dato allerede betalte beløb på 435 015 ECU (275 000 + 160 015).
In those circumstances, the Commission stated in its letter that it was not going to make any payment since the total costs already accepted by it, namely ECU 340 636 (180 621 + 160 015) were less than the payments made by it as at that date, namely ECU 435 015 (275 000 + 160 015).
I bilagene til skrivelsen forklarede Kommissionen navnlig, at de af sagsøgeren anmeldte »personaleomkostninger« alle var foreløbigt afvist i afventning af »forhandlingsresultatet«.
In the annexes to that letter, the Commission explained, inter alia, that the 'labour costs' reported by the applicant were all provisionally rejected 'awaiting the results of negotiations'.
Ved skrivelse af 4. juni 1998 meddelte Kommissionen sagsøgeren, at Kommissionen stadig ikke havde modtaget de konsoliderede udgiftsopgørelser for alle projektdeltagerne, hvilke skulle være tilgået Kommissionen i henhold til kontraktens bilag II.
By letter of 4 June 1998, the Commission informed the applicant that it had still not received the consolidated cost statements from all participants in the project as required by Annex II to the contract.
Kommissionen foreslog under disse omstændigheder sagsøgeren at afslutte den finansielle del af projektet på grundlag af de faktiske udgifter, der var godkendt i overensstemmelse med de mellemliggende betalingsrapporter.
In those circumstances, the Commission suggested to the applicant that the financial side of the project should be finalised on the basis of the actual costs accepted in accordance with the interim payment reports.
Kommissionen oplyste i denne henseende, at hvis den ikke inden en måned fra skrivelsens dato modtog de konsoliderede udgiftsopgørelser, ville den tage sin stilling op til fornyet overvejelse i overensstemmelse med kontraktens bilag II.
In that regard, the Commission stated that if it did not receive the consolidated cost statements within one month of the date of its letter, it
Sagsøgeren har generelt gjort gældende, at Kommissionen ikke har opfyldt sine kontraktmæssige forpligtelser ved at afvise at godtgøre de omtvistede udgifter uden grund og uden at give sagsøgeren mulighed for at gøre indsigelse.
A final project review meeting was held in Brussels on 16 December 1996. In its fax of 18 December 1996 summarising the results of that meeting, the Commission stated, inter alia, that: 'the project was found of interest but unfortunately did not achieve its objectives.
Kommissionen for ikke at have gjort brug af de muligheder, der blev givet den efter kontraktens artikel 8 og 9 med henblik på at foretage en kontrol af opgavens udførelse og rigtigheden af alle de anmeldte omkostninger.
It also complains that the Commission did not avail itself of the right granted to it by Articles 8 and 9 of the contract to check that the task was being carried out and that the costs incurred were genuine.
Vedrørende Kommissionens vurdering af det samlede antal timer, som de to sagkyndige har anvendt på projektets gennemførelse, bemærkes, at ud af i alt 2 647 timer anvendt af sagsøgeren (1 304 for den første periode og 1 343 for den anden periode) godkendte Kommissionen først kun 710 og siden i forbindelse med berigtigelsen, foretaget med Kommissionens skrivelse af 29. april 1999,742 ekstra timer, hvilket har bragt det samlede antal godkendte timer op på 1 452.
Once these adjustments had been made, the total costs accepted by the Commission in respect of all the participants over the whole period of the project amounted to ECU 335 396 (340 636 + 4 709 - 9 949) and the overpayment to the applicant amounted to ECU 99 619 (435 015 -335 396). By a further letter, dated 2 December 1998, the Commission asked the applicant to repay the overpayment, and a debit note was subsequently sent to the applicant on 14 December 1998.
Kommissionen har gjort gældende, at kontrakten er en kontrakt om støtte, der har til formål at sikre et delvist finansielt bidrag fra Fællesskabet til en opgave, der skal udføres af sagsøgeren på de i kontrakten fastsatte bestemmelser.
The Commission contends that the disputed contract is a subsidy contract for partial financial support from the Community of a task which was to be undertaken by the applicant on the terms laid down in the contract.
Fællesskabets finansielle bidrag er undergivet Kommissionens formelle godkendelse af de af sagsøgeren faktisk afholdte og anmeldte udgifter i forbindelse med udførelsen af kontrakten.
Community financial support is dependent on the formal acceptance by the Commission of real costs incurred and reported by the applicant in the course of performing the contract.
Rettens bemærkninger
Forms of order sought
Kontrakten og dennes bilag II fastsætter desuden en række betingelser for refusion af de forskellige kategorier af omkostninger afholdt af sagsøgeren.
The contract and Annex II thereof laid down a series of conditions concerning the rules for reimbursement of the various categories of costs incurred by the applicant.
Den omstændighed, at Kommissionen på eget initiativ og til trods for, at der ikke var nye elementer i sagen, foretog en berigtigelse til sagsøgerens fordel, giver ikke sagsøgeren ret til en ekstra tilpasning uden at fremkomme med bevis for berettigelsen at sit krav herom.
— order the Commission to pay it a sum in euros equivalent to ECU 74 967, plus interest at the rate of 7% (statutory rate applicable in Belgium) as from 5 June 1998;
— Omkostninger til samarbejdet med tredjeparter
— in so far as may be necessary, commission an expert's report.
Der er derfor grund til at undersøge berettigelsen af sagsøgerens krav under hensyn til de formelle og materielle krav i kontrakten for hver af de udgiftskategorier, som sagsøgeren kræver refunderet.
If account is taken of those conditions, the issue of how the contract should be characterised, about which the parties have given conflicting views in the course of the proceedings, has no effect on the outcome of the dispute.
Ikke desto mindre indgår udgifterne vedrørende disse aftaler ikke i de refunderbare udgiftskategorier i kontraktens bilag II.
— order the applicant to pay it the sum of EUR 54 486, plus interest at the rate of 7% as from 31 January 1999.
— Personaleomkostninger
The claim for an expert's report
— Forbrugsudgifter
— Labour costs
Vedrørende de af Kommissionen godkendte timesatser for de to nævnte sagkyndige skal det understreges, at punkt 1.1 i bilag Π udtrykkeligt fastsætter, at »personaleomkostningerne [...] ikke [må] omfatte nogen indirekte bidrag eller generelle omkostninger«.
According to settled case-law, it is for the Court of First Instance to appraise the usefulness of measures of inquiry for the purpose of resolving the dispute.
Ifølge kontraktens bilag II godkendes forbrugsudgifter kun, hvis de er blevet forudgående godkendt af Kommissionen, eller hvis de står angivet i det tekniske bilag.
In light of the present case and in view of the applicant's claims, such measures are neither relevant nor necessary for the purpose of ruling in the present case.
Ifølge dette bilag er der udtrykkeligt afsat et budget på 10 000 ECU til sagsøgeren til forbrugsudgifter.
It is therefore not appropriate for recourse to be had to them.
Som en følge heraf, og da budgettet på 10 000 ECU ikke er blevet overskredet i den foreliggende sag, er sagsøgerens krav om refusion af disse omkostninger berettiget, og Kommissionen bør tilpligtes at betale sagsøgeren 4 642 EUR (2 429 + 2 213).
As regards, initially, the hourly rate accepted by the Commission in respect of the two experts, it should be pointed out that paragraph 1.1 of Annex II expressly provides that 'labour costs shall not include any element of indirect costs or overheads'.
I den foreliggende sag har sagsøgeren imidlertid begrænset sig til at udfærdige en opgørelse over sine påståede personaleomkostninger for de pågældende to sagkyndige uden at bevis« hverken over for Kornmissionen eller over for Retten, at disse omkostninger faktisk er blevet afholdt og ikke inkluderede faste bidrag.
In the present case the applicant has confined itself to setting out its alleged labour costs in respect of the two experts concerned without adducing any proof either to the Commission or
— Andre omkostninger præsteres, og disses omkostninger og for det andet refusionen af disse.
to the Court that those costs were actually incurred and that they did not include fixed charges.
På grundlag af bestemmelserne i kontrakten og i artikel 1315 i den belgiske code civil, der finder anvendelse på kontrakten, er det imidlertid ubestrideligt, at det tilkommer sagsøgeren at bevise realiteten af de afholdte udgifter og overholdelsen af de kontraktmæssige formaliteter for at gøre krav på refusion af disse udgifter.
As regards, next, the Commission's assessment of the total number of hours which the two experts spent working on the project, it must be noted that, out of a total of 2 647 hours reported by the applicant (1 304 for the first period and 1 343 for the second), the Commission initially accepted only 710 hours and subsequently, when the adjustment was made in its letter of 29 April 1999, 742 additional hours, which brought the total number of hours accepted to 1 452.
Kommissionen afviste de nævnte omkostninger under henvisning til, at betingelserne i kontrakten og dennes bilag for refusion af disse omkostninger ikke var opfyldt.
The Commission rejected those costs relying on the fact that the conditions stipulated in the contract and its annexes for reimbursement of those costs were not met.
Det bemærkes, at sagsøgeren, i det omfang de generelle omkostninger ikke kunne refunderes i henhold til kontraktens bilag II, har krævet de nævnte omkostninger refunderet ved at indplacere dem i kategorien andre omkostninger.
In that regard, it must be observed that, inasmuch as, under Annex II to the contract, overheads were not refundable, the applicant claimed reimbursement of the costs mentioned above by categorising them as other costs.
For omkostninger af den sidstnævnte type fastsætter bilag II imidlertid, at »ekstra eller uforudsete omkostninger, der ikke indgår i de ovennævnte kategorier vil kunne faktureres efter aftale med Kommissionen og under forudsætning af, at de er nødvendige for udførelsen af opgaven, og at de ikke grundlæggende ændrer rækkevidden af denne«.
However, in relation to costs falling within that category, Annex II provides that 'any other additional or unforeseen cost not falling within the aforesaid categories may be charged with the agreement of the Commission provided that it is necessary for carrying out the Task and does not fundamentally affect the scope of the Task'.
Ved at bebrejde Kommissionen, at den ikke har foretaget kontrol af de omtvistede omkostninger i medfør af kontraktens artikel 8 og 9, bekræfter sagsøgeren implicit, at selskabet ikke har givet Kommissionen overbevisende dokumentation. Det bemærkes i denne forbindelse, at disse bestemmelser, der giver Kommissionen mulighed for, men ikke pligt til at foretage teknisk kontrol og finansiel revision, ikke fritog sagsøgeren fra dennes pligt til at bilægge sine krav overbevisende udgiftsopgørelser i henhold til kontraktens artikel 3 og bilag II.
As to its assessment, the Commission found not only that the applicant had not proved that the work supposedly done by the two experts had actually been done, since it was not established that the number of hours in question had actually been spent working on the project, but also that there was no evidence that the remuneration declared had actually been paid to those experts.
På baggrund af ovenstående betragtninger er der grundlag for at tage sagsøgerens påstand til følge, for så vidt angår refusion af forbrugsomkostningerne for et beløb på 4 642 EUR, idet Kommissionen i øvrigt bør frifindes.
The mere fact that the Commission, on its own initiative and despite the absence of further proof, made an adjustment in the applicant's favour cannot allow the applicant to obtain any additional adjustment unless it can provide proof that its claim to that effect is well-founded.
Sagsøgeren har imidlertid begrænset sig til at bebrejde Kommissionen, at den har afvist udgifterne uden begrundelse, uden at sagsøgeren har fremført præcise argumenter eller beviser for, at de nævnte betingelser for udgifternes refusion var opfyldt i det foreliggende tilfælde.
The applicant confines itself to complaining that the Commission has rejected those costs without giving any reasons for so doing, and does not put forward any specific arguments or any evidence showing that the abovementioned conditions for reimbursement were met in the present case.
Herefter kan sagsøgerens argument om den uberettigede karakter af afvisningen af disse udgifter ikke lægges til grund.
In those circumstances, the applicant's argument alleging that the refusal to accept those costs was unwarranted must be rejected.
Sagsøgtes modkrav
- Thirdparty costs
—Kommissionens manglendeoverholdelse af sine forpligtelser
— The Commission's breach of its obligations
Med fradrag af sagsøgerens fordring fastsat ovenfor til 4 642 EUR bør Kommissionens modkrav tages til følge for et beløb på 49 844 EUR. Dette beløb forrentes med en årlig rente på 7% fra den 31. januar 1999.
However, the expenses under those agreements do not fall within any of the categories of expenses which may be reimbursed under Annex II of the contract.
Sagsøgerens generelle anbringende om, at Kommissionen ikke har begrundet afvisningen af samtlige de omtvistede udgifter, og at Kommissionen således har skadet sagsøgerens ret til at forsvare sig, kan ikke anerkendes, da det i realiteten har til formål at opnå omvendt bevisbyrde.
At the outset, the applicant's general complaint that the Commission failed to give reasons for rejecting the entirety of the costs at issue and thus prejudiced the rights of the defence must be rejected, since in actual fact that complaint seeks to reverse the burden of proof.
Da nærværende sag drejer sig om opfyldelsen af en aftale, skal afgørelsen baseres på de relevante kontraktmæssige bestemmelser vedrørende for det første de ydelser, der skal
Since the present case is concerned with a dispute concerning the performance of a contract, it is necessary to take the relevant contractual provisions as a basis, looking, first, at the services to be provided and the costs involved and, second, at the reimbursement of those costs.
