Europaparlamentet konstaterar följande utifrån uppgifter från byrån:
C. whereas the Court of Auditors, in its report on the annual accounts of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology for the financial year 2013 (‘the Court's report’), has stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the Institute's annual accounts are reliable, but could not obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions;
Uppgifter och statistik avseende hanteringen av intressekonflikter hade inkluderats i dess årliga verksamhetsrapport för 2013.
Notes from the Court's report that regarding one comment made in the Court's 2011 report and marked as ‘Ongoing’ in the Court's 2012 report, corrective actions were taken and the comment is now marked in the Court's 2013 report as ‘Completed’; notes furthermore that regarding the two comments made in the Court's 2012 report, a corrective action was taken and one comment is now marked as ‘Completed’, while the other one is marked as ‘Ongoing’;
Verkställande direktörens, direktörernas och avdelningschefernas meritförteckningar och intresseförklaringar hade till fullo offentliggjorts på byråns webbplats från och med den 1 december 2014, i enlighet med ansvarsfrihetsbeviljande myndighetens begäran.
Acknowledges from the Institute that:
Information om de effekter som byråns verksamhet kan få på unionens medborgare ges på byråns webbplats genom det årliga offentliggörandet av strategiska dokument, inbegripet den allmänna årsrapporten, den årliga säkerhetsöversynen och arbetsprogrammet.
it provided improved instructions to certifying auditors and in June 2013 communicated the updated instructions to the ‘Knowledge and Innovation Communities’ (KICs), the recipients of the Institute's grants; notes that the improved instructions should result in an increased level of assurance obtained from audit certificates;
Kommentarer om transaktionernas laglighet och korrekthet
quantifiable targets were implemented in the guidelines issued for the KICs, which were revised in 2013 and 2014 in order to further improve the quality of the planning and reporting from the KICs;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar att byråns utgifter för upphandlingsförfaranden för att lägga ut delar av sin certifieringsverksamhet på nationella luftfartsmyndigheter och behöriga organ uppgick till 22000000 EUR under 2013.
ex post audits on the 2010 Grant Agreement resulted in the recovery of all amounts unduly paid by the Institute;
Parlamentet konstaterar att processen för att lägga ut särskilda certifieringsuppgifter på kontraktsparter och de kriterier som ska användas beskrivs i särskilda riktlinjer som byrån har fastställt på basis av ett styrelsebeslut.
the prevention and management of conflicts of interests policies are being reviewed by the Institute's Internal Audit Capability (IAC), and the revised versions of the Codes of Conduct for the Institute's staff and the members of its Governing Board are expected to be implemented; notes that the Institute will introduce a policy for the members of its Governing Board and its senior management to publish their declarations of interests; calls on the Institute to resolve this issue as a matter of urgency and to inform the discharge authority about the results of the remedial actions taken;
Europaparlamentet uppmanar byrån att förbättra insynen i arbetet med att lägga ut på entreprenad genom en bättre dokumentation av tilldelningsprocessen, inbegripet genom bedömningar som görs utifrån kriterierna i riktlinjerna.
the information on its activities' impact on Union citizens is provided through the Institute's website and has been made more accessible through the use of social media as well as through publishing its annual activity report and the results of its work;
Parlamentet konstaterar med oro att detta även gäller vid tilldelning av många andra kontrakt med lågt värde till anbudsgivare.
Is deeply concerned that for the second consecutive year the Court found no reasonable assurance on the legality and regularity of the Institute's grant transactions; notes that about 87 % of grant expenditure claimed by the beneficiaries is covered by certificates issued by independent audit firms, which are contracted by the beneficiaries themselves and their partners; regrets that although the Institute continued to make efforts to implement effective ex ante verifications and give better guidance to the independent audit firms, the Court found their quality as insufficient and noted that there is room for further improvement in their general work; calls on the Institute to address this issue and to inform the discharge authority about the steps taken by 1 September 2015;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar att det sammantaget hade gjorts åtaganden för 98 % av anslagen, med 92 % för avdelning III (driftsutgifter) och 98 % för avdelning II (administrativa utgifter).
Notes that in order to have a second layer of assurance on the legality and regularity of grant transactions, the Institute introduced complementary ex post verifications for grant transactions that were carried out by an independent audit firm; notes moreover that the audited cost claims correspond to 29 % of the total grant transactions made in 2013; regrets that the ex post verification results confirmed the ex ante verifications as still not being fully effective; is concerned that on the basis of the errors detected by the ex post verifications, the Institute decided in 2014 to recover 3 % of the audited 2012 grants; calls on the Institute to improve the effectiveness of the ex ante verifications and to inform the discharge authority on the state of play regarding the steps to be taken by 1 September 2015;
Parlamentet noterar en generell minskning av den övergripande andelen överföringar av gjorda åtaganden från 10100000 EUR (11 %) 2012 till 7200000 EUR (8 %) 2013.
Points out with concern that payments in respect of two framework contracts concluded in 2010 and 2012 using a negotiated procedure and amounting to EUR 770000 were found as irregular as according to the audit, the use of a negotiated procedure was not justified; calls on the Institute to improve its internal procedures as regards procurement and to inform the discharge authority on the steps taken by 1 September 2015;
Parlamentet konstaterar bekymrat att även om den övergripande nivån på överföringar har minskat var den fortfarande hög för avdelning III och uppgick till 3400000 EUR (42 %).
Points out with concern that the combined error rate related to grant issues and framework contract payments is between 2 % and 3 % of the Institute's total 2013 expenditure;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar att revisionsrätten i sin rapport om årsredovisningen för 2013 inte lämnat några kommentarer om myndighetens rekryteringsförfaranden.
Notes that according to the Court, except for the matters described above, the transactions underlying the annual accounts for 2013 are legal and regular in all material respects;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar på basis av uppgifter från byrån att de krav som måste uppfyllas av kandidaterna vid rekryteringsförfarandet har fastställts i överensstämmelse med tjänsteföreskrifterna för tjänstemännen i Europeiska gemenskaperna, och att det fall som konstaterades i revisionsrättens rapport 2012 anses vara slutbehandlat.
Regrets that according to the Court's report, the complementary activities of the KICs as beneficiaries of the Institute's grants will not be audited before 2015; is concerned that no appropriate evidence was available to the Court during its audit as regards the Institute's funding not surpassing the ceiling of 25 % of the KICs' global expenditure; calls on the Institute to inform the discharge authority on the state of play regarding the abovementioned audit by 1 September 2015;
Europaparlamentet påminner om sin ståndpunkt i budgetförfarandet att den personal som finansieras genom avgifter från industrin och som således inte finansieras med medel från EU-budgeten inte bör omfattas av EU:s årliga nedskärning på 2 %.
Notes from the Institute's final accounts that its budget monitoring efforts during the financial year 2013 resulted in a budget implementation rate of 96,97 % and that the execution rate of payments against payment appropriations was 96,86 %;
Parlamentet anser att kommissionen bör särskilja de byråer som huvudsakligen finansieras genom EU:s budget och föreslå en separat ram för de byråer som huvudsakligen finansieras genom avgifter som betalats av operatörerna, vilka bör stå i proportion till kostnaden för de tjänster som byrån erbjuder.
Notes with concern, however, that the budget implementation rate for Title I (staff expenditure) was low at 74 %; ascertains from the Court's report that this is mainly related to the high turnover of staff and the outstanding adoption of the regulations on salary adjustments; calls on the Institute in this regard to effectively address its staffing policies to avoid the high turnover of staff;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar att byrån under 2013 granskade 213 intresseförklaringar mot bakgrund av den uppförandekod för byråns personal som antogs 2012.
Notes with concern that the Institute carried over committed appropriations under Title II (Administrative expenditure) amounting to EUR 193420 or 24 %; acknowledges that these carry-overs mainly concerned invoices not yet received and ongoing IT projects; points out with concern that 29 % of the committed appropriations carried over from 2012 to 2013 were not implemented, largely due to overestimated costs for a Governing Board meeting;
Parlamentet välkomnar översynen av Easa-förordningen och betonar behovet av en översyn av uppförandekoden i syfte att undvika alla eventuella intressekonflikter.
Is concerned that under Title III (Operational expenditure), where the Institute had budgeted EUR 34078025 for KICs grants, the execution rate was relatively low at 82 %; takes note that the low execution rate is due to KICs not fully absorbing the available funding for 2012 activities; calls on the Institute to inform the discharge authority on the actions it will take in order to increase absorption capability of the KICs by 1 September 2015;
Parlamentet föreslår i detta sammanhang att revisionsrätten regelbundet ska granska genomförandet av uppförandekoden och de enskilda fallen.
Observes from the Institute's annual activity report that its Internal Audit Function (IAF) resigned as of 31 December 2012 and the recruitment of the new Institute's Internal Auditor took longer than expected, as the vacancy notice had to be republished owing to an insufficient number of suitable applicants; takes note that the new Internal Auditor started on 1 January 2014 and therefore, no IAF audits were carried out in 2013;
Parlamentet påpekar att två fall av svängdörrsproblematik konstaterades 2013.
Acknowledges from the Institute that in order to bridge the period between the departure of the former Internal Auditor and the arrival of the new one, it decided to set up an Audit Committee of the Governing Board which provides support to the Governing Board in increasing the quality of the follow-up and implementation of the audit recommendations, for which the Institute's Director bears sole responsibility;
Parlamentet konstaterar att byrån har tillåtit de anmälda verksamheterna i båda fallen av svängdörrsproblematik under förutsättning att ingen kontakt eller lobbyverksamhet med byråns anställda förekommer och att inga direkta kontraktsförhandlingar förs med byrån under en karensperiod på 12–24 månader.
Notes that in 2014, the Commission's Internal Audit Service (IAS) followed up the status of implementation of the accepted recommendations from the ‘Limited Review on Grant Management — Preparation of Annual Grant Agreements’ in the Institute; notes moreover that this limited review resulted in six recommendations, of which one marked as ‘Critical’ and four as ‘Very Important’, and that the Institute responded to the six recommendations by a detailed action plan comprising 25 actions, amongst which 13 were due by 31 August 2013 or before and 10 were reported as ‘Ready For Review’ by this date;
Europaparlamentet noterar med oro att frågan om intressekonflikter är extremt viktig när det gäller medlemmarna av den expertpanel som har i uppgift att testa och godkänna produkter.
Regrets the fact that when the IAS performed a desk review of the status of implementation of these 10 actions, it concluded on 24 September 2013 that either the degree of implementation was insufficient or that additional on-the-spot checks were necessary to confirm the implementation in practice; takes note of the fact that the Institute subsequently reformulated some of the actions and revised the related deadlines to address the IAS remarks;
Europaparlamentet konstaterar utifrån uppgifter från byrån att förhands- och efterhandskontroller har införts efter diskussion med revisionsrätten och i enlighet med den ansvarsfrihetsbeviljande myndighetens rekommendationer.
Is concerned about the IAS conclusions in its follow-up report which emphasises the risk that the Institute would not be able to fully implement all actions in time, in particular those actions scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2014; finds the delays unacceptable given that the IAS considers that delays in the implementation would lead to an even increased risk for the organisation;
Parlamentet noterar att efterhandskontroller inte är obligatoriska enligt byråns finansiella bestämmelser.
Acknowledges the Institute's commitment to monitor the ex ante verifications in order to obtain reasonable assurance on the legality and regularity of grant transactions;
Europaparlamentet konstataterar att kommissionens internrevisionstjänst (IAS) lade fram sin rapport om en begränsad granskning av it-projektförvaltningen under 2013, vilken resulterade i två ”mycket viktiga” rekommendationer.
Calls on the Institute to provide the discharge authority with a detailed report on the implementation of the IAS' recommendations as well as on actions taken regarding the recommendations by the Institute's IAF by 1 September 2015;
Parlamentet konstaterar dessutom att IAS gjorde ytterligare en granskning av de kontrolldelar som ligger till grund för revisionsförklaringen, vilken resulterade i ett utlåtande om rimlig säkerhet liksom två ”mycket viktiga” rekommendationer.
with observations forming an integral part of the decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget for the Artemis Joint Undertaking for the financial year 2013
Parlamentet konstaterar att 22 av de 23 ”mycket viktiga” rekommendationer som IAS hade utfärdat under föregående år bekräftades av IAS som genomförda.
having regard to its decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the Artemis Joint Undertaking for the financial year 2013,
Europaparlamentet konstaterar att sedan byrån inledde sin verksamhet 2004 har dess arbete baserats på korrespondens och utbyten med värdmedlemsstaten.
having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control (A8-0103/2015),
Parlamentet noterar dock att en övergripande överenskommelse mellan byrån och värdmedlemsstaten om ett huvudkontor inte ännu har undertecknats.
A. whereas the Artemis Joint Undertaking (‘the Joint Undertaking’) was set up in December 2007 for a period of 10 years to define and implement a ‘Research Agenda’ for the development of key technologies for embedded computing systems across different application areas in order to strengthen Union competitiveness and sustainability and to allow for the emergence of new markets and societal applications,
Parlamentet anser att en sådan överenskommelse skulle ge ökad insyn i byråns och dess personals driftsvillkor.
B. whereas the Joint Undertaking started to work autonomously in October 2009,
Parlamentet uppmanar byrån och värdmedlemsstaten att brådskande åtgärda denna fråga och att informera den ansvarsfrihetsbeviljande myndigheten om hur förhandlingarna framskrider.
C. whereas the maximum contribution for the period of 10 years from the Union to the Joint Undertaking is EUR 420000000 to be paid from the budget of the Seventh Research Framework Programme,
Europaparlamentet påminner om att det, enligt rådets, Europaparlamentets och kommissionens gemensamma strategi för EU:s decentraliserade organ, bör finnas avtal för alla organs säten och att dessa avtal bör ha ingåtts innan ett organ inleder sin operativa fas.
D. whereas financial contributions from Artemis Member States should amount in total to at least 1,8 times the Union's financial contribution and the in-kind contribution of research and development organisations participating in projects over the duration of the Joint Undertaking shall be equal to or greater than the contribution of public authorities.
Parlamentet konstaterar i detta avseende att Europeiska försäkrings- och tjänstepensionsmyndigheten ingick ett avtal om säte med den tyska regeringen 2011.
E. whereas the Artemis and ENIAC Joint Undertakings were merged to create the Electronic Components and Systems for European leadership Joint Technology Initiative (ECSEL JTI) which has started its activity in June 2014 and will run for 10 years,
Parlamentet uppmanar med kraft värdmedlemsstaten att så snabbt som möjligt sluta ett avtal med byrån i syfte att klargöra förhållandet mellan de nationella rättsliga myndigheterna och att ge byrån möjlighet att obehindrat fullgöra sitt rättsliga uppdrag.
F. whereas the Court of Auditors' report for the financial year 2013 has been produced on a going-concern principle,
Parlamentet uppmanar kommissionen att utnyttja den möjlighet som finns i år att ändra den akt genom vilken byrån inrättades i syfte att få till stånd ett avtal om säte, så att byrån obehindrat kan bedriva sin verksamhet.
Takes note that the Joint Undertaking's ex post audit strategy which was adopted on 25 November 2010 has been modified on 20 February 2013; ascertains from the Court's report that with the modifications made in 2013, the strategy is a key tool for assessing the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions;
Parlamentet kräver därför att få information om ett slutgiltigt beslut om byråns säte.
Notes that according to the Court's report, payments made in 2013 relating to certificates of acceptance of costs issued by the national funding authorities (‘NFAs’) of the Member States amounted to EUR 11700000, which accounts for 57 % of the total operational payments;
Europaparlamentet påminner om byråns betydelsefulla roll när det gäller att garantera maximal luftfartssäkerhet i hela Europa.
Observes with concern that the administrative agreements signed with the NFAs do not include practical arrangements for ex post audits, although the audit of project cost claims has been delegated to the NFAs;
Parlamentet konstaterar att den aktuella översynen av lagstiftningen om det gemensamma europeiska luftrummet kan komma att leda till en förstärkning av byråns befogenheter.
Notes that the ex post strategy adopted by the Joint Undertaking states that it must assess at least once a year whether the information sent by the NFAs provide sufficient assurance as to the regularity and legality of the executed transactions;
Parlamentet betonar, i det fall att byråns befogenheter skulle förstärkas, behovet av att avsätta de finansiella och materiella medel och de personalresurser som byrån behöver för att framgångsrikt kunna utföra sina uppdrag.
Notes that according to the Court's report, the Joint Undertaking received audit reports from the NFAs covering approximately 46 % of the costs relating to completed projects; notes with concern that the Joint Undertaking did not assess the quality of those audits and that, by the end of March 2014, the Joint Undertaking had not received information on the audit strategies of seven out of 23 NFAs; notes moreover that the Joint Undertaking was therefore not in a position to assess whether ex post audits provide sufficient assurance as to the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions;
med de iakttagelser som utgör en del av beslutet om ansvarsfrihet för genomförandet av budgeten för Europeiska stödkontoret för asylfrågor för budgetåret 2013
Acknowledges from the Joint Undertaking that in addition to the improvements to its ex post audit strategy, an action plan was submitted which aims to remedy the deficiencies identified by the Court in its qualified opinion; acknowledges receipt from the Joint Undertaking of the last update with regard to the ex-post audit implementation in the Joint Undertaking; awaits the Court's opinion on the new formula proposed for the calculation of an estimated residual error rate in the Joint Undertaking's transactions; notes that the implementation of the action plan commenced in 2014; looks forward to the successful implementation of the entire action plan as well as to the Court's opinion on its outcome; points out that difficulties may arise as to the boundaries between NFA's sovereign authority and the Joint Undertaking's authority; calls on the Joint Undertaking to provide a first interim evaluation report on the implementation of the action plan;
med beaktande av sitt beslut om ansvarsfrihet för genomförandet av budgeten för Europeiska stödkontoret för asylfrågor för budgetåret 2013,
