(36 a) Komisjon peaks andma võimaluse toetuste andmiseks ühenduse välisabi valdkonna projektideks pakkumismenetluseta ka juhtudel, mis ületavad pakkumismenetluseta antava toe üldise piiri, kui projekt on olemuselt väga eriline ja erandlik.
(36a) The Commission should provide for the possibility of awarding grants for projects in the sector of Community external assistance without resorting to a tendering procedure even when the general limit set for awarding grants without a tendering procedure is bypassed, if the project is of a very specific and exceptional nature.
Võimalus anda toetust pakkumismenetluseta on rangelt piiratud, mida arvamuse koostaja põhimõtteliselt toetab.
The possibility to award grants without tendering procedure is strictly limited, which is in principle welcomed by the draftsman.
Samas võib olla projektiettepanekud, mis on olemuselt nii erandlikud ja erilised, et on äärmiselt ebatõenäoline, et teine pakkuja võiks neid esitada või teostada.
However, there may be project proposals which are of such exceptional and specific nature that it is highly unlikely that they could be proposed or carried out by another tenderer.
Sellisel juhul võiks komisjonil olla võimalus ületada pakkumismenetluseta toe andmiseks kehtestatud piir.
In this case, the Commission should have the possibility to exceed the limit given for awarding grants without tendering procedure.

ARTICLE 1, POINT 7 A (new)
Artikli 16 lõige 2 a (uus) (määrus (EÜ, Euratom) nr 1605/2002)
Article 16, paragraph 2 a (new) (Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002)
7a) Artiklisse 16 lisatakse järgmine lõige:
(7a) In Article 16, the following paragraph is added:
„Valuuta konverteerimise operatsioonid teostatakse selliselt, et projektitoetuste ühendusepoolse kaasrahastamise tasemes ei toimuks suuremaid muutusi.”
"Currency conversion operations shall be carried out in such a way that there is no major change to the level of Union cofinancing for project grants."
Käesoleva muudatusettepanekuga muudetakse eelarvekomisjoni raportööri esitatud muudatusettepanekut (Ingeborg Gräßle raporti projekti muudatusettepanek 31) ja sellega püütakse teha tekst selgemaks.
This amendment modifies the amendment proposed by the rapporteur of the Committee on Budgets (Amendment 31 of the draft report by Ingeborg Gräßle) and seeks to make the text clearer.
Käesoleva muudatusettepaneku eesmärk on aidata kaasa selliste olukordade vältimisele, kus abisaajad kannavad valuuta konverteerimise tõttu kahju või kus see toob neile probleeme kulude taseme õigustamisel, kui kulud on kavandatud välisvaluutas, aga need on vahetuskursi muutuste tõttu eurodes erinevad.
The amendment is intended to help avoid situations where the currency conversion leads to losses for the beneficiaries or problems to justify the level of expenses, which would be the level planned in the foreign currency, while it is different in EURO, due to the changes in the exchange rate.
12 a) Artiklisse 27 lisatakse järgmine lõige:
(12a) In Article 27, the following paragraph is added:
Institutsioonid loovad tõhususe ja tulemuslikkuse mõõtmise ja võrdlemise süsteemid pakkumismenetluste ja toetuste andmise menetluse osas.”
Institutions set up systems for measuring and comparing efficiency and effectiveness as regards procurement procedures and the procedure for the award of grants."
Komisjoni ametnikud keskenduvad peamiselt „säästlikkusele”, mida võib määratleda kui „parimat lisaväärtust läbi menetlustest kinnipidamise”.
Commission officials are mainly concentrating on 'economy', which can be broken down as "best value through procedural compliance".
Tõhususe põhimõtet kirjeldatakse finantsmääruses (artikli 27 punkti 2 teine lõik) kui „parimat võimalikku suhet kasutatud vahendite ja saavutatud tulemuste vahel”.
The principle of efficiency described in the Financial Regulation (Article 27(2)2) as "best relationship between resources employed and results achieved".
Antud põhimõtte arvestamine sunniks komisjoni keskenduma mitte ainult „menetluste kontrollnimekirjale”, vaid võtma arvesse toetuste ja pakkumismenetluste konteksti ja nende menetlustega kaasnevaid halduskulusid.
Taking into account this principle would force the Commission not only to focus on "procedure check lists" but to take into account the context of the grant and procurement procedures and the administrative costs resulting from the procedures.

(85a) In Article 168, paragraph 1, the following subparagraph is added :
„Ühenduse välisabi osas kohaldatakse Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu 14. detsembri 2005. aasta määrusega (EÜ) nr 2110/2005 (ühenduse välisabi kättesaadavuse kohta) 1 ja nõukogu 21. novembri 2005. aasta määrusega (EÜ) nr 2112/2005 (ühenduse välisabi kättesaadavuse kohta) 2 kehtestatud pakkumismenetlustes osalemise eeskirju.”
"As regards Community external assistance the rules for the participation in tendering procedures laid down in Regulation(EC) No 2110/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2005 on access to Community external assistance 1 and Council Regulation (EC) No 2112/2005 of 21 November 2005 on access to Community external assistance 2 shall apply."

The Commission has not attached much importance to more user-friendly access to EU markets and subsidies, building up a joint capacity for problem-solving, databases and harmonisation of procedures, which are applied differently from DG to DG, in order to reduce work and costs and simplify procedures, both for the Commission and for users.
