Hr Vitaliano Gemelli, Euroopa Parlamendi petitsioonikomisjoni esimees, hr Söderman ja hr Roy Perry, komisjoni aseesimees, komisjoni 2002. a aastaaruande esitlemisel. Brüssel, Belgia, 24. märts 2003.

Komisjoni esimees ja aseesimees, vastavalt hr GEMELLI ja hr PERRY, samuti krahv STOCKTON, ombudsmani 2002. aasta aruande koostaja, avaldasid hr SÖDERMAN´ile kui esimesele Euroopa ombudsmanile kiitust tema töö ja saavutuste eest.
In view of the above, the Ombudsman was concerned that a possible failure by the Commission to provide bidders in its tender procedures with access to a review procedure of the kind foreseen in the Alcatel judgement could be an instance of maladministration.
25. märtsil korraldas Euroopa Parlamendi eesistuja hr Pat COX ombudsmanile ja tema töötajaskonnale vastuvõtu.
The Ombudsman therefore asked the Commission to inform him whether a review procedure exists and, if not, whether the Commission is prepared to introduce such a procedure rapidly.
Üritus oli mõeldud hr SÖDERMAN´i ametisaavutuste tähistamiseks.
The Commission’s opinion was, in summary, as follows:
Selles osales umbes kolmkümmend inimest, kaasa arvatud fraktsioonide esimehed ning petitsioonikomisjoni esimees ja liikmed.
In the light of the Alcatel judgement, the Commission agrees that, prior to contract signature, authorising officers will have to inform without delay all bidders or candidates of the award decision in the public procurement procedures covered by Article 56 of the current Financial Regulation and by Article 105 of the new Financial Regulation, and should provide for a reasonable delay before contract signature in order to enable bidders and candidates to request the reasons for the award decision and, the case being, fi le a judicial recourse against such a decision.
Hr COX kiitis ombudsmani töö eest läbipaistvuse nimel, heade töösuhete arendamise eest parlamendi petitsioonikomisjoniga ning Euroopa Liidu lähendamise eest kodanikele.
1351/2001/(ME)MF, closed by decision dated 17 February 2003.
Euroopa Parlamendi petitsioonikomisjoni esimees hr GEMELLI korraldas 25. märtsil Brüsselis hr SÖDERMAN`i auks õhtusöögi.
In the light of this, the Commission intends to work out practical arrangements so that the procedure could be in place from the beginning of 2003 and taken into account in the planning of the new public procurement procedures to be launched by then.
Kõik kohal viibinud parlamendi liikmed tänasid hr SÖDERMAN´i tema ülihea töö eest esimese Euroopa ombudsmanina.
The Ombudsman also invited the Commission to indicate whether it has any plans to provide a non-judicial remedy that tenderers could use, if they so wish, as an alternative to judicial recourse.
Hr Pat Cox, Euroopa Parlamendi president ja hr Söderman vastuvõtul hr Södermani saavutuste tähistamiseks Euroopa ombudsmanina.
The Commission’s reply
Brüssel, Belgia, 25. märts 2003.
A er sending holding replies on 1 and 14 April 2003, the Commission sent the following further comments on 3 July 2003:
2. aprillil kohtus hr DIAMANDOUROS Euroopa Parlamendi peasekretäri hr Julian PRIESTLEY´ga.
The Commission has adopted a Communication se ing up a procedure to inform all bidders or candidates of the award decision in the public procurement procedures covered by Article 105 of the
Arutelu käigus väljendas hr PRIESTLEY Euroopa Parlamendi valmisolekut tõhusaks koostööks Euroopa ombudsmaniga ning hea haldustava eeskirja vastuvõtmise toetuseks institutsioonidevahelisel tasandil.
The Commission does not consider it necessary to provide a non-judicial remedy to tenderers, for the following reasons:
10. juunil tutvustas hr DIAMANDOUROS petitsioonikomisjonile Brüsselis oma prioriteete ombudsmanina.
– the procedure laid down in the Communication will allow tenderers to seek an effective judicial remedy against the contracting authority’s award decision;
Komiteele peetud kõnes andis ombudsman positiivse hinnangu oma eelkäij a saavutatud tulemustele, tõstis esile laienemise e evalmistusi ning sellest tulenevaid eelarvemuudatusi ning rõhutas ombudsmani proaktiivset rolli lähenemises kodanikele, eesmärgiga neile tutvustada, millised on nende õigused ning kuidas neid kasutada.
– in view of the low number of complaints presently lodged before the Court, the necessity of providing for a non-judicial remedy does not appear to be justified; ed;
Petitsioonikomisjoni esimees hr Vitaliano GEMELLI tänas hr DIAMANDOUROS´t e ekande eest.
– fi finally, the human and material resources needed for executing the non-judicial remedies tasks, which may in future have an interinstitutional dimension, are not available.
Edasi võtsid sõna järgmised liikmed: Ombudsmani 2002. aasta aruande koostaja krahv STOCKTON, hr Rainer WIELAND, hr Eurig WYN, hr Roy PERRY ja hr GEMELLI.
Review procedures available to bidders in tender procedures
Seejärel kinnitas komitee ühehäälselt krahv STOCKTON´i aruande.
1.1 The Ombudsman was concerned that possible failure by the Commission to provide bidders in its tender procedures with a review procedure of the kind foreseen in the Alcatel judgement116 could be maladministration.
12. juunil osales hr Ian HARDEN komisjoni organiseeritud avalikul arutelul, mis puudutas kodanike vabadusi ja õigusi, Euroopa Parlamendi justiits- ja siseasju ning dokumentidele avalikku juurdepääsu puudutava määruse 1049/2001 täitmist.
The Ombudsman therefore began an owninitiative inquiry, asking the Commission to inform him whether a review procedure exists and, if not, whether the Commission is prepared to introduce such a procedure rapidly.
Arutelul esinesid sõnavõ udega ka Euroopa Parlamendi liige pr Hanja MAIJ-WEGGEN, Euroopa Liidu Nõukogu pressi peadirektoraadi peadirektor hr Hans BRUNMAYR, Euroopa Parlamendi peasekretäri asetäitja hr Harald RØMER ning komisjoni aruande koostaja, Euroopa Parlamendi liige hr Michael CASHMAN.

Samas toimus arvamuste vahetus vastastikust huvi pakkuvates küsimustes, sealhulgas ombudsmani ja Euroopa Parlamendi vahelistes koostöölepetes.
1.2 The Commission agreed that, in the light of the above-mentioned judgement, it should provide for a reasonable delay before contract signature in order to enable bidders and candidates to request the reasons for the award decision and possibly challenge the decision judicially.
11. juulil toimus hr DIAMANDOUROS`el parlamendi Dublini infobüroos kohtumine Euroopa Parlamendi eesistuja hr Pat COX`iga.
The Commission stated its intention to work out the practical arrangements to put such a procedure in place from the beginning of 2003.
Arutati mitmesuguseid, sealhulgas valitsustevahelise konverentsiga (IGC) seonduvaid küsimusi.
1.3 The Ombudsman welcomed the Commission’s positive response and requested details of the practical arrangements and procedure.
Pärast kohtumist oli hr DIAMANDOUROS´el ametilõuna Euroopa Ajakirjanike Assotsiatsiooniga, mille korraldas oma ruumides Dublini infobüroo.
He also invited the Commission to indicate whether it has plans to provide a non-judicial remedy that tenderers could use, if they so wish, as an alternative to judicial recourse.

The Commission’s Communication of 3 July 2003
Deba i juhatas Euroopa Parlamendi asepresident hr Renzo IMBENI.
2.1 The Commission informed the Ombudsman that it had adopted, on 3 July 2003, a Communication117 in response to the owninitiative inquiry.
Oma kõnes avaldas hr DIAMANDOUROS kodanike nimel tunnustust oma eelkäij a hr Jacob SÖDERMAN´i, kes ise ka debatil osales, saavutustele, rõhutas edusamme, mida hr SÖDERMAN on saavutanud kodanike kaebuste ja järelepärimistega tegelemisel, ning kommenteeris e evalmistusi, mida tehakse Euroopa Liidu laienemiseks.
The Ombudsman has carefully examined the Communication, which establishes a procedure to provide information rapidly to unsuccessful tenderers and candidates, so that the la er have the opportunity to bring judicial proceedings to challenge an award decision, before the relevant contract is signed.
Seejärel võtsid sõna ombudsmani 2002. aasta aruande koostaja krahv STOCKTON, suhete eest Euroopa ombudsmaniga vastutav erivolinik pr Loyola DE PALACIO, Euroopa Parlamendi petitsioonikomisjoni esimees hr Vitaliano GEMELLI, Euroopa Parlamendi liikmed pr Astrid THORS ja hr Jan DHAENE (vt ka punkt 6.1 allpool).
The procedure applies to contract awards covered by Article 105 of the Financial Regulation.118
21. oktoobril külastas ametist lahkuv petitsioonikomisjoni sekretariaadi juhataja hr Enrico BOARETTO hr DIAMANDOUROS´t, et tutvustada oma järeltulij at hr Josephus COOLEGEM´i.
As soon as possible a er the award decision and within the following week at the latest, the contracting authority notifies all unsuccessful tenderers or candidates simultaneously, by mail and fax or email, that their bid or application has not been accepted.
20. jaanuaril esitles hr SÖDERMAN oma tööd koosolekul, mis oli mõeldud komisjoni esinduste juhtidele liikmesriikides. Kohtumine toimus Brüsselis ja seda juhatas komisjoni pressi- ja teabe peadirektoraadi peadirektor hr Jonathan FAULL.
Each tenderer or candidate is notified individually and the reasons why the bid or application has not been accepted are specified in each case; for instance by taking up, in a concise but explicit form, details contained in the award decision.
Hr Ben HAGARD demonstreeris ombudsmani veebilehekülge ning pr Rosita AGNEW andis ülevaate ombudsmani kommunikatsioonistrateegiast. Seejärel vastas hr SÖDERMAN küsimustele, mis puudutasid tema tööd ja kogemusi Euroopa Liidu esimese ombudsmanina.
The contracting authority also informs the unsuccessful tenderers or candidates that it will not sign the contract with the successful tenderer until two calendar weeks have elapsed from the day a er the simultaneous dispatch of the notification messages.
2. aprillil kohtus hr DIAMANDOUROS komisjoni liikmete kolleegiumiga.
It will also be stated that additional information about the reasons for rejection of the bid or application can be obtained in response to a request sent in writing, by mail, fax or e-mail.
Euroopa Komisjoni president hr Romano PRODI tervitas uut ombudsdmani ja rõhutas komisjoni kohustust olla avatud ning ombudsmani töö tähtsust selle tagamisel.
For all tenderers who have put in an admissible bid, this information could include the characteristics and relative advantages of the bid accepted and the name of the successful tenderer.
Euroopa ombudsmaniga suhtlemise eest vastutav volinik pr Loyola DE PALACIO selgitas, millist tähtsust omistab komisjon ombudsmani uurimistulemustele ja soovitustele, mis puudutavad kaebusi ja üldisemat laadi küsimusi, mille osas alustab obudsman uurimist omal algatusel.
Finally, it will be added that if the contract cannot be concluded with the successful tenderer or if the successful tenderer were to pull out, the contracting authority may review the award decision and could then award the contract to another tenderer, close the procedure or decide not to award the contract.
Pr DE PALACIO avaldas samuti kiitust esimese Euroopa ombudsmani hr Jacob SÖDERMAN´i tööle.
The contracting authority also informs the successful tenderer of the notification sent to the unsuccessful candidates or tenderers and that the contract cannot be signed until two calendar weeks have elapsed from the day a er the date of dispatch of the notification.
Seejärel andis hr DIAMANDOUROS ülevaate oma prioriteetidest Euroopa ombudsmanina, puudutades ka EL laienemise evalmistusi ning seda, kuidas läheneda kodanikele, eesmärgiga informeerida neid oma õigustest ja nende kasutamisest.
It will also be pointed out that the contracting authority may:
Järgnenud arvamustevahetuses osalesid arvamusavalduste ja küsimustega tegelevad volinikud BOLKESTEIN, REDING, SCEYER, VERHEUGEN ja WALLSTRÖM.
Communication from the Commission COM(2003)395 final (03.07.03) Procedure for informing candidates and tenderers, a er a contract has been awarded and before the actual contract has been signed, in respect of public procurement contracts awarded by the Commission under Article 105 of the Financial Regulation.
Lõpetuseks tänas hr DIAMANDOUROS kolleegiumi liikmeid valmisoleku eest, mida nood olid väljendanud olemasoleva hea koostöö jätkamiseks ombudsmani ja komisjoni vahel.
This Article provides for the Directives on public supply, services and works contracts to establish the thresholds that determine publication arrangements, choice of procedures and corresponding time limits under the Financial Regulation.
23. septembril tegi Euroopa Komisjoni peasekretär hr David O’SULLIVAN visiidi hr DIAMANDOUROS´ele tema asukohas Strasbourg’is.
- until the contract has been signed, either abandon the procurement, or cancel the award procedure, without the candidates or tenderers being entitled to claim any compensation;
Suhted teiste Euroopa Liidu institutsioonidega ja hr O’SULLIVAN kutsus hr DIAMANDOUROS´e esinema eelseisvale peadirektorite ja komisjoni talituste juhatajate kohtumisele.
- suspend signing of the contract for additional examination, if justified by requests or comments made by unsuccessful tenderers during the two calendar weeks mentioned above, or by any other relevant information received during that period.
Arutluse põhiteemadeks olid mehhanismid, mis on kä esaadavad kodanikele, kes soovivad esitada kaebusi liikmesriikide suutmatuse kohta tagada Euroopa keskkonnaseaduse täitmist, eriti kohtuvälised õiguskaitsevahendid.
2.3 The Ombudsman takes the view that the procedure described in the Commission’s Communication appears to provide unsuccessful tenderers and candidates with the opportunity to bring judicial proceedings to challenge an award decision and to have that decision set aside before the relevant contract is signed.119 The Ombudsman therefore considers that the Commission has taken steps to provide bidders in its tender procedures with access to a review procedure of the kind foreseen in the Alcatel judgement and so finds no maladministration by the Commission.
21. oktoobril kohtus hr DIAMANDOUROS personali- ja halduse peadirektori hr Horst REICHENBACH´iga. Hr REICHENBACH tutvustas hr DIAMANDOUROS´ele edusamme, mida on tehtud komisjoni ametnike ja teiste EL esindajate personalieeskirjade reformimise osas.
2.4 The Ombudsman notes that the Commission’s Communication does not expressly provide that unsuccessful tenderers and candidates shall be informed of the possibility to bring judicial proceedings to challenge an award decision and to have that decision set aside before the relevant contract is signed.
20. novembril toimus hr DIAMANDOUROS´el Euroopa Komisjoni peadirektorite ja talituste juhatajatega Brüsselis arvamustevahetus, mida juhatas komisjoni peasekretär hr David O’SULLIVAN.
The Ombudsman points out that, according to the Commission’s Code of Good Administrative Behaviour for Staff of the European Commission in their Relations with the Public120, decisions should, where appropriate, refer to the possibility of starting judicial proceedings in accordance with Article 230 EC.
Hr DIAMANDOUROS andis ülevaate oma järgmistest prioriteetidest töös Euroopa ombudsmanina: ombudsmani kantselei õigusalase võimekuse säilitamine ja suurendamine kodanike abistamisel, õigusnormide arendamine, hea haldustava ja inimõiguste austamine ning lähenemine kõikidele kodanikele, eesmärgiga informeerida neid sellest, kuidas oma õigusi kasutada.
The Ombudsman considers that it would be in conformity with the principles of good administration to provide such information to unsuccessful tenderers and candidates.
Hr DIAMANDOUROS tõstis esile terve rea küsimusi, mis puudutavad eelkõige menetlust liikmesriikide vastu, rahumeelseid kokkuleppeid ja EL haldusseadust.
A further remark is therefore made below.
Nimetatud teemadel toimus ulatuslik deba .
The Ombudsman notes, however, that the Commission refers to Articles 100 (2) and
EUROOPA KONVENT
3.1 The Ombudsman invited the Commission to indicate whether it has any plans to provide a non-judicial remedy that tenderers could use, if they so wish, as an alternative to judicial recourse.
Euroopa konvent loodi detsembris 2001 pärast Euroopa Ülemkogu tippkohtumist Laekenis selleks, et sillutada teed järgmisele valitsustevahelisele konverentsile.
3.2 The Commission replied that it has not considered it necessary to provide a non-judicial remedy to tenderers, because amongst other reasons, the procedure laid down in its Communication of 3 July 2003 will allow tenderers to seek an effective judicial remedy against the contracting authority’s award decision.
Konvendi ülesandeks oli arutada Laekeni deklaratsioonist tulenevaid põhiprobleeme Euroopa Liidu edasise arengu kohta ja teha kindlaks erinevad võimalikud reaktsioonid.
3.3 The Ombudsman notes that the relevant judgement of the Court of Justice requires “a procedure whereby an applicant may have [an award] decision set aside if the relevant conditions are met.”
Konvent tõi kokku liikmesriikide ja kandidaatriikide valitsuste ja riikide parlamentide, Euroopa Parlamendi ja Euroopa Komisjoni esindajad.
The Ombudsman recalls the finding in paragraph 2.3 above that the procedure described in the Commission’s Communication appears to provide unsuccessful tenderers and candidates with the opportunity to bring judicial proceedings to challenge an award decision and to have that decision set aside before the relevant contract is signed.
Nii nagu eelmise konvendi puhul, kes koostas Euroopa Liidu põhiõiguste harta, oli Euroopa ombudsman ka uues konvendis vaatleja staatuses.
The Ombudsman takes the view that the Commission is not obliged also to establish a non-judicial remedy and therefore finds no maladministration in the Commission’s decision not to do so.
Hr SÖDERMAN osales 20.-21. jaanuaril, 27.-28. veebruaril, 5. märtsil ja 17.-18. märtsil toimunud konvendi plenaaristungitel.
The Ombudsman notes in this context that the Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance (available online at < h p://www.curia.eu.int > ) provide for the possibility of both interim measures and an expedited procedure and that these procedures have been invoked by a tenderer, which later succeeded in obtaining a judgement annulling a Commission decision rejecting its tender: Case T-211/02, Tideland Signal Ltd v Commission, [2002] ECR II-3781. 120
27. veebruaril pöördus hr SÖDERMAN konvendi plenaaristungi poole küsimustes, mis puudutasid läbipaistvust, õigust heale haldusele ja Euroopa Liidu vajadust olla suuteline ühinema rahvusvaheliste inimõiguste kaitse ja arendamise kokkulepetega.
The Commission’s code is annexed to its rules of procedure: 2000 OJ L 308/26. It is also available online at h p://www.europa.eu.int/comm/secretariat_general/code/index_en.htm.
Hr DIAMANDOUROS osales 3.-4. aprillil, 24.-25. aprillil ja 15.-16. mail toimunud konvendi plenaaristungitel.
Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities, 2002 OJ L 248/1.
24. aprillil pöördus hr DIAMANDOUROS konvendi plenaaristungi poole teemal ”Demokraatlik elu Euroopa Liidus”.
Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities, 2002 OJ L 357/1.
28. aprillil edastas hr DIAMANDOUROS konvendile oma kaastöö pealkirjaga ”Euroopa Liidu liikmesriikide riiklike ombudsmanide ja analoogsete organite otsus, vastu võetud nende 7.-8. aprillil 2003 Ateenas toimunud neljandal seminaril” (CONV 699/03) (Vt punkt 6.1).
Complaint to the European Ombudsman is not, therefore, a review procedure of the kind foreseen in the Alcatel judgement.
Euroopa ombudsmani kõnesid ja e epanekuid saab lugeda nii tema, kui ka konvendi koduleheküljelt.
The Commission has taken steps to provide bidders in its tender procedures with access to a review procedure of the kind foreseen in the Alcatel judgement.123
Kohtu eesistuja autasustas Euroopa ombudsmani kohtu 50. aastapäeva medaliga, millele oli graveeritud hr SÖDERMAN´i nimi. Seejärel märkis hr RODRÍGUEZ, et Euroopa ombudsmani ameti loomisel on tehtud suurepärast tööd.
The Ombudsman therefore finds no maladministration by the Commission and closes the owninitiative inquiry.
Oma mitmete EL institutsioonidesse tehtud visiitide raames olid hr DIAMANDOUROS´el 8. juulil nõupidamised kohtu eesistuja hr Gil RODRÍGUEZ IGLESIAS´ega ja kohtunik hr Vassilios SKOURIS´ega.
The Ombudsman considers that it would be in conformity with the principles of good administration to provide such information to unsuccessful tenderers and candidates.
19. märtsil külastas Hr SÖDERMAN esimese astme kohtu eesistujat Hr Bo VESTERDORF´i, et temaga 2003. aasta märtsi lõpul Euroopa ombudsmani ametist lahkumise puhul hüvasti jä a.

19. märtsil külastas Hr SÖDERMAN Euroopa Kontrollikoja presidenti hr Juan Manuel FABRA VALLÉS´i, et temaga 2003. aasta märtsi lõpul Euroopa ombudsmani ametist lahkumise puhul hüvasti jä a.
The reasons for the inquiry
LIIDUINSTITUTSIOONIDEGA
However, technical problems with EPSO’s server prevented him from ge ing registered.
Hr DIAMANDOUROS´t saatis tema juriidilise osakonna juhataja hr Ian HARDEN.
On 24 June 2003, at 11.34 am, the complainant therefore contacted EPSO’s services by e-mail.
EUROOPA INVESTEERIMISPANK
The complainant was dissatisfied with this reply and therefore contacted EPSO again. EPSO confirmed its previous answer.
Oma 8. juulil Luksemburgis mitmetesse EL institutsioonidesse tehtud visiitide raames kohtus hr DIAMANDOUROS Euroopa Investeerimispanga presidendi hr Philippe MAYSTADT´iga, kes oli palunud teavet selle kohta, kas ombudsman võiks tegeleda kaebustega, mis puudutavad panga tegevust väljaspool Euroopa Liitu.
It in particular underlined that applicants had had enough time to get registered and, in view of possible technical difficulties, had been expressly instructed not to wait until the last few days before the closing date.
Hr MAYSTADT informeeris ombudsmani Euroopa Parlamendi väljendatud murest, mis puudutab selliste kaebuste käsitlemise mehhanismi puudumist, kui kaebuse esitajaks on mist e-residendid või mist e-kodanikud.
The complainant therefore lodged a complaint with the European Ombudsman.
Ombudsman selgitas, et tal on õigus alustada uurimist omal algatusel, mida on ühel sellisel juhtumil juba tehtud.
The complainant claimed that in view of the technical problem he encountered, his email to EPSO should be taken into consideration as a registration.
