The late cancellation and the short duration of meetings, together with DG InterpretationŐs need to hold a few interpreters per language in reserve, so as to cover last-minute meetings or unforeseen absences of interpreters, are the main reasons behind the high number of cases of so-called Ôimplicit or explicit stand-by dutyŐ (1), i.e. interpreters who are present but have to be put on stand-by because their services are not needed. In 2003, permanent interpreters spent on average 33 days on Ôimplicit stand-by dutyŐ. 
Sent instllda och korta mten, i kombination med GD Tolknings behov av att ha ngra tolkar per sprk i reserv fr att tcka mten till vilka tolkning begrs i sista minuten eller tolkars ofrutsedda frnvaro, r huvudsklen till det stora antalet fall av Óimplicit eller explicit tjnstgringsberedskapÓ (1), det vill sga tolkar som r nrvarande men som mste hllas i beredskap eftersom deras tjnster inte behvs. r 2003 tillbringade fast anstllda tolkar i genomsnitt 33 dagar i Óimplicit tjnstgringsberedskapÓ.
A high number of cases of Ôimplicit stand-by dutyŐ (about 130 interpreters per day, corresponding, in 2003, to more than a quarter of the number of the staff interpreters) occur in August when very few meetings take place. 
Ett stort antal fall av Óimplicit tjnstgringsberedskapÓ (cirka 130 tolkar per dag, vilket 2003 motsvarade ver en fjrdedel av antalet fast anstllda tolkar) frekommer i augusti d mycket f mten hlls.
As a result, a total of 15 000 interpreter days, corresponding to around 15 % of the working days of the staff interpreters, were not used. 
Detta resulterade i att totalt 15 000 tolkdagar, motsvarande cirka 15 % av de fast anstllda tolkarnas arbetsdagar, inte utnyttjades.
ACIs had a total of more than 6 000 days of Ôimplicit stand-by dutyŐ. 
Fr de extraanstllda konferenstolkarna uppgick det totala antalet dagar i Óimplicit tjnstgringsberedskapÓ till ver 6 000.
The total cost of Ôimplicit stand-by dutyŐ in 2003, at an average cost of 865 euro per day, available for interpretation (2), can be estimated at about 18 million euro. While a significant portion of the standby costs may be unavoidable under the current working arrangements, every effort should be made to reduce those costs. 
Den totala kostnaden fr Óimplicit tjnstgringsberedskapÓ 2003 kan med en genomsnittlig kostnad av 865 euro per dag som gjorts tillgnglig fr tolkning (2) uppskattas till omkring 18 miljoner euro. ven om en stor del av kostnaderna fr beredskapen torde kunna undvikas med den nuvarande arbetsmodel-len, br alla tgrder fr att minska dessa kostnader vidtas.
46. In 2003, 15 % of the interpreter days requested by Commission departments were cancelled, but no figures are available for the number of cases in which no resources were lost because the interpreters booked for the cancelled meetings could be assigned to other meetings. 
46. r 2003 avbestlldes 15 % av de tolkdagar som kommissionens avdelningar hade begrt. Det finns dock inga uppgifter om antalet fall dr inga resurser gick till spillo tack vare att de tolkar som bokats till de instllda mtena kunde tilldelas andra uppdrag.
47. In 2003, there were nine working days on which at least 100 permanent interpreters (or more than 20 % of the total number of permanent interpreters) assigned to cancelled meetings were on Ôimplicit stand-by dutyŐ whilst at the same time more than 100 ACIs had been recruited. 
47. r 2003 frekom nio arbetsdagar d tminstone 100 fast anstllda tolkar (eller ver 20 % av det totala antalet fast anstllda tolkar) som tilldelats mten som sedan stlldes in var i Óimplicit tjnstgringsberedskapÓ samtidigt som ver 100 extraanstllda konferenstolkar hade rekryterats.
Meetings lasting a very short time result in a kind of Ôimplicit stand-by dutyŐ, as interpretation is needed only for a small part of the interpreter day or half-day booked. 
Mycket korta mten resulterar i en form av Óimplicit tjnstgringsberedskapÓ, eftersom tolkning endast behvs under en liten del av den bokade tolkdagen eller tolkhalvdagen.
One reason for very short meetings is that some working parties, whose meetings are scheduled at regular intervals, meet even when they have very few, non-urgent points on the agenda. 
En orsak till mycket korta mten r att vissa arbetsgrupper, som sammantrder regelbundet, ocks sammantrder d de har mycket f, icke brdskande punkter p dagordningen.
(1) ÔImplicitŐ stand-by duty differs from ÔexplicitŐ stand-by duty in that the latter corresponds to reserve teams included in the planning to replace absent interpreters. 
(1) ÓImplicitÓ tjnstgringsberedskap skiljer sig frn ÓexplicitÓ tjnstgringsberedskap genom att den sistnmnda formen motsvarar reserv-lag som tagits med i planeringen fr att erstta frnvarande tolkar.
According to the established working conditions (ÔProvisions applicable to staff interpretersŐ, SCIC (87)25), interpreters can be assigned to meetings for a maximum of 18 sessions (half-days of 3,5 hours) per period of two weeks. 
Enligt de arbetsvillkor som faststllts (ÓProvisions applicable to staff interpretersÓ, SCIC (87)25) kan tolkar tilldelas mten med maximalt 18 sammantrdestillfllen (halvdagar  3,5 timmar) under en tvveck-orsperiod.
(2) The average cost per day available for interpretation is calculated as the total cost of the DG Interpretation after tax and pension calculated above (106 million euro) divided by the sum of interpreter days (101 000) and implicit stand-by duties (21 000). 
(2) Den genomsnittliga kostnaden per dag som gjorts tillgnglig fr tolkning berknas som den totala kostnaden fr GD Tolkning efter skatt och pension som berknats ovan (106 miljoner euro) delad med summan av antalet tolkdagar (101 000) och antalet fall av implicit tjnstgringsberedskap (21 000).
Council Cancellation of meetings 49. In 2003, according to the CouncilŐs own estimates, more than 5 % of the CouncilŐs interpretation expenditure (2,4 out of 45,7 million euro) represented payments for cancelled meetings, where the interpreters could not be employed by the Council for other meetings held on the same day. 
Rdet Instllda mten 49. r 2003 utgjorde, enligt rdets egna uppskattningar, ver 5 % av rdets utgifter fr tolkning (2,4 av 45,7 miljoner euro) betalningar fr instllda mten dr tolkarna inte kunde utnyttjas av rdet till andra mten samma dag.
This corresponds to a net yearly waste of almost 4 000 interpreter days. 
Detta motsvarar en rlig nettofrlust p nstan 4 000 tolkdagar.
Meetings invoiced at higher rates 50. 
Mten som faktureras till hgre priser 50.
Late requests for new meetings or for the addition of one or more languages, made fewer than six working days before the meeting, were invoiced in 2003 at the rate of 835 euro, that is about one third more than the normal rate of 632 euro. In 2003, these late requests corresponded to about 3 % of the total amount invoiced to the Council. 
De sena frfrgningar om tolkning till nya mten eller om tillgg av ett eller flera sprk som gjordes mindre n sex arbetsdagar fre mtet fakturerades 2003 till 835 euro, det vill sga ungefr en tredjedel mer n det ordinarie priset p 632 euro. r 2003 stod dessa sena frfrgningar fr cirka 3 % av det totala belopp som fakturerades rdet.
It is important to make meeting organisers aware of the high cost of cancellations and late requests. 
Det r viktigt att gra mtesarrangrerna medvetna om den hga kostnaden fr instllda mten och sena frfrgningar.
The statement of the cost of cancelled meetings sent at the end of each month to the Head of the central coordination unit of the Member State holding the rotating Council Presidency can be regarded as an example of good practice if exploited for management purposes. 
Den redovisning av kostnaderna fr instllda mten som i slutet av varje mnad skickas till chefen fr den centrala samordningsenheten i den medlemsstat som fr tillfllet r ordfrandeland i rdet r ett exempel p en bra metod om den utnyttjas fr frvaltningsndaml.
The interinstitutional billing system of the DG Interpretation 52. 
GD Tolknings interinstitutionella debiteringssystem 52.
In order that the DG Interpretation recovers the costs of the interpretation services provided to other institutions (costs that are to be charged to the administrative budget of these institutions) an interinstitutional billing system has been set up, based on Ôservice level agreementsŐ between the DG Interpretation and the institutions concerned. 
Fr att GD Tolkning skall kunna tervinna kostnaderna fr de tolktjnster som tillhandahllits vriga institutioner (kostnader som skall debiteras dessa institutioners administrativa budget) har ett interinstitutionellt debiteringssystem infrts, baserat p ÓservicenivavtalÓ mellan GD Tolkning och berrda institutioner.
53. In 2003 the DG Interpretation invoiced the Council at a basic rate of 632 euro per day or 369 euro per half-day for interpreters ordered at least six weeks in advance for meetings held in Brussels. 
53. r 2003 fakturerade GD Tolkning rdet till ett grundpris p 632 euro per dag eller 369 euro per halvdag fr tolkar som bestllts minst sex veckor i frvg till mten i Bryssel.
The following points were noted with respect to the current billing: (a) The price structure is not based on the real cost of each type of request (timely requests, late requests, requests withdrawn, requests for languages with higher ACI travel costs, etc.). (b) For the DG Interpretation revenue standard rates based on an estimated level of activity are used. 
Fljande noterades med avseende p nuvarande fakturering: a) Prisstrukturen baseras inte p den reella kostnaden fr varje enskild typ av frfrgan (frfrgningar i tid, sena frfrgningar, avbestllningar, frfrgningar betrffande sprk dr resekostnaderna fr extraanstllda konferenstolkar r hgre etc.). b) Nr det gller GD Tolknings inkomster anvnds standardpriser baserade p en uppskattad verksamhetsgrad.
Most of the costs borne by the DG Interpretation are fixed costs (only the cost of the ACIs is entirely variable). 
Huvuddelen av GD Tolknings kostnader r fasta kostnader (endast kostnaden fr de extraanstllda konferenstolkarna r helt rrlig).
As a result, if the volume or the composition of the actual demand for interpretation services is different from that forecast, the DG Interpretation incurs either a deficit or a surplus. 
Om volymen eller karaktren p den faktiska efterfrgan p tolktjnster avviker frn den prognosen, leder det till antingen ett underskott eller ett verskott fr GD Tolkning.
C 291/12 EN Official Journal of the European Union 23.11.2005 (c) The price does not incorporate the full cost of the interpretation services, because, as mentioned in paragraph 35, it does not include all overheads. (d) The limitation of the number of interpreters and meetings per day specified in the Service Level Agreement prevents high peaks in demand, but does not prevent troughs (early January, August, etc.). (e) The lack of a link between the computer systems of the Council and the DG Interpretation makes the billing labour intensive and error prone. 
C 291/12 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 23.11.2005 c) Priset inbegriper inte den fullstndiga kostnaden fr tolktjnsterna, eftersom det, ssom nmns i punkt 35, inte inkluderar alla indirekta kostnader. d) Den begrnsning av antalet tolkar och mten per dag som anges i servicenivavtalet frhindrar toppar men inte dalar (brjan av januari, augusti etc.) i efterfrgan. e) Avsaknaden av en koppling mellan rdets och GD Tolknings datasystem gr att faktureringen blir arbetskrvande och fel-bengen.
The downward corrections made to the 2002-2003 DG Interpretation invoices sent to the Council amounted to almost 6 % of the amount initially invoiced. 
De nedjusteringar som gjordes i GD Tolknings fakturor 2002Đ2003 och som skickades till rdet uppgick till nstan 6 % av det ursprungligen fakturerade beloppet.
The interinstitutional cooperation 55. 
Det interinstitutionella samarbetet 55.
Based on the work of the Interinstitutional Committee on Translation and Interpretation (ICTI) and the ÔChne ReportŐ (1) of 2002, considerable progress was made towards more cooperation between the EU institutions in the area of interpretation. 
Med utgngspunkt frn det arbete som den interinstitutionella kommittn fr versttning och tolkning (CITI) utfrt samt ÓChne-rapportenÓ (1) frn 2002 gjordes betydande framsteg i riktning mot kat samarbete mellan EU-institutionerna nr det gller tolkning.
Further savings and efficiency gains could be made in several other areas, but enhanced cooperation is hampered by the current organisation involving three independent interpretation service providers (the DG Interpretation, the Parliament and the Court of Justice). 
Ytterligare besparingar och effektivitetsvinster skulle kunna gras p flera andra omrden, men den nuvarande organisationen med tre oberoende leverantrer av tolktjnster (GD Tolkning, parlamentet och domstolen) utgr ett hinder fr kat samarbete.
The division of labour between the Parliament and the Commission (the DG Interpretation) is not efficient for the following reasons: (a) Both institutions are competing to recruit ACIs for meetings in Brussels. (b) The institutions do not systematically communicate their availability or need of resources to each other. 
Arbetsfrdelningen mellan parlamentet och kommissionen (GD Tolkning) r ineffektiv av fljande skl: a) Institutionerna konkurrerar nr extraanstllda konferenstolkar skall rekryteras till mten i Bryssel. b) Institutionerna meddelar inte systematiskt varandra vilka resurser de har lediga eller vilka resursbehov de har.
The DG Interpretation recruits ACIs on days on which the Parliament still has permanent interpreters without any task assignment. 
GD Tolkning rekryterar extraanstllda konferenstolkar till dagar d det vid parlamentet finns fast anstllda tolkar utan uppdrag.
Where meetings are cancelled or interpreters are only needed for half a day or less, the separate organisational structures combined with the lack of information flowing between both institutions make it almost impossible for the other institution to use these resources. 
Om mten stlls in eller tolkar endast behvs en halv dag eller kortare tid, leder de separata organisationerna i kombination med bristande informationsflde mellan institutionerna till att det nstan r omjligt fr den andra institutionen att utnyttja dessa resurser.
During the European Parliament (1) Report of the ad hoc Working Group of the CITI, Synergies et conomies dŐchelle susceptibles dŐtre obtenues grce  la coopration entre les services dŐinterprtation et de traduction des institutions et des organes communautaires, Brussels, 22.4.2002. election period (from 10 May to 2 July 2004), dozens of permanent Parliament interpreters, especially from the smaller languages, had no task assignment. 
I samband med valet till (1) RapportfrnCITI:stillflligaarbetsgrupp,SynergiesetconomiesdŐchelle susceptibles dŐtre obtenues grce  la coopration entre les services dŐinterprtation et de traduction des institutions et des organes communau-taires, Bryssel, 22 april 2002. Europaparlamentet (frn den 10 maj till den 2 juli 2004) hade dussintals fast anstllda tolkar vid parlamentet, srskilt frn de mindre sprken, inga uppdrag.
At the same time, the DG Interpretation hired on average 253 ACIs per day, resulting in significant costs charged to budget appropriations (more than 900 euro per day and per interpreter). (c) The current organisation makes it more difficult to reduce travel costs by taking advantage of the presence of non-local ACIs already contracted by the other institution for adjacent days. (d) Further economies of scale in human resources, financial, operational and IT management and the integration of IT systems could be achieved through a common organisation. 
Samtidigt anlitade GD Tolkning i genomsnitt 253 extraanstllda konferenstolkar per dag, vilket resulterade i betydande kostnader som belastade budgeten (ver 900 euro per dag och tolk). c) Den nuvarande organisationen gr att det r svrare att minska resekostnaderna genom att utnyttja de icke lokala extraanstllda konferenstolkar som finns p plats och som redan har kontrakterats av den andra institutionen fr angrnsande dagar. d) Ytterligare stordriftsfrdelar nr det gller personalfrvaltning, ekonomisk frvaltning, operativ frvaltning och IT-fr-valtning samt en integration av IT-system skulle kunna uppns genom en gemensam organisation.
It should therefore be analysed whether the abovementioned problems could be solved by creating one single interinstitutional office or agency providing interpretation services to all EU institutions or by improving the interinstitutional cooperation. 
Man br drfr analysera om problemen ovan skulle kunna lsas om det inrttades ett enda interinstitutionellt organ som tillhandahller alla EU-institutioner tolktjnster eller om det interinstitutionella samarbetet frbttrades.
Centralising the provision of interpretation services would be compatible with the autonomy of each institution, as proven by the fact that the Council has relied on the Commission for the provision of interpretation for years, without any noteworthy disruptions. 
En centralisering av tillhandahllandet av tolktjnster skulle vara frenligt med varje institutions sjlvstndighet, vilket visas av det faktum att rdet har varit beroende av kommissionens tolktjnster i flera r och utan nmnvrda strningar.
The Service Level Agreement signed between the Council and the DG Interpretation shows that it is perfectly feasible to guarantee the client institution an agreed number of interpreters per day. 
Det servicenivavtal som rdet och GD Tolkning har undertecknat visar att det r fullt mjligt att garantera den uppdragsgivande institutionen ett verenskommet antal tolkar per dag.
Specific observations concerning the expenditure for freelance interpretation The optimal ratio of permanent to freelance interpreters The DG Interpretation 59. 
Srskilda iakttagelser om utgifterna fr frilanstolkning Det optimala frhllandet mellan fast anstllda tolkar och frilanstolkar GD Tolkning 59.
The appropriateness of employing ACIs instead of permanent staff depends on a large number of factors such as the way in which meetings are spread out over the year and the week, the availability of local freelance interpreters or the distance between the professional domicile of the interpreter and the meeting venue. 
Om det lmpar sig att anlita extraanstllda konferenstolkar i stllet fr fast anstlld personal beror p ett stort antal faktorer, till exempel mtenas frdelning ver ret och veckan, tillgngen p lokala frilanstolkar eller avstndet mellan tolkens yrkesmssiga hemvist och platsen dr mtet hlls.
The Court considers that the results of the study already mentioned made on behalf of the DG Interpretation (2) are generally valid. 
Revisionsrtten anser att resultaten av den underskning som redan nmnts och som gjordes fr GD Tolknings (2) rkning allmnt sett r giltiga.
They indicate, as a global optimal ratio, 51 % of interpretation days to be performed by permanent interpreters. 
Som ett generellt optimalt frhllande anges dr att 51 % av tolkdagarna skall utfras av fast anstllda tolkar.
The share of interpretation days performed by permanent interpreters dropped from 53 % in 2000 to 46 % in 2002 and 2003, but went up to 50 % in 2004. 
Andelen tolkdagar som utfrdes av fast anstllda tolkar minskade frn 53 % 2000 till 46 % 2002 och 2003, men kade till 50 % 2004.

However, an overall target ratio of 51:49 is not suitable for all languages. 
Ett generellt frhllande p 51:49 som riktmrke r dock inte lmpligt fr alla sprk.
The DG Interpretation has not calculated the optimal ratio for each language. 
GD Tolkning har inte berknat det optimala frhllandet fr varje sprk.
For example, the ratio of Dutch-speaking freelancers (54 % in 2003) should be higher, as many ÔlocalsŐ (ACIs living in or around Brussels) and not so costly Ônon-localŐ (ACIs living not far from Brussels) freelancers are available. 61. 
Till exempel br andelen frilanstolkar som talar nederlndska (54 % 2003) vara strre, eftersom mnga ÓlokalaÓ frilanstolkar (extraanstllda konferenstolkar som bor i eller runt Bryssel) och inte s dyra Óicke lokalaÓ frilanstolkar (extraanstllda konferenstolkar som inte bor lngt frn Bryssel) finns tillgngliga.
On the other hand, more permanent interpreters might be recruited, for example, for Portuguese and Greek, as travel costs for Greek and Portuguese ACIs are above the average for all the ACIs. 
61.  andra sidan skulle fler fast anstllda tolkar kunna rekryteras nr det exempelvis gller portugisiska eller grekiska, eftersom resekostnaderna fr grekiska och portugisiska extraanstllda konferenstolkar r hgre n genomsnittet fr samtliga extraanstllda konferenstolkar.
For these languages, the reliance on ACIs is relatively high (respectively 59 % and 67 % of the interpretation days in 2003), permanent interpreters have one of the highest workloads of all languages (116 and 108 days respectively, against 104 on average in 2003) and the percentage of local ACIs is the lowest (only 30 % for Portuguese and 42 % for Greek against an average of 56 % in 2003). 
Vad betrffar dessa sprk r beroendet av extraanstllda konferenstolkar relativt stort (59 % respektive 67 % av tolkdagarna 2003), tillhr de fast anstllda tolkarnas arbetsbelastning den hgsta av alla sprk (116 respektive 108 dagar jmfrt med ett genomsnitt p 104 dagar 2003) och r andelen lokala extraanstllda konferenstolkar den lgsta (endast 30 % fr portugisiska och 42 % fr grekiska jmfrt med ett genomsnitt p 56 % 2003).
Parliament 62. 
Parlamentet 62.
The Parliament has not made any specific calculation in order to establish the optimal proportion of freelancers and permanent interpreters. In 2003, 57 % of the interpreter days were provided by ACIs. 
Parlamentet har inte gjort ngon srskild berkning fr att f fram det optimala frhllandet mellan frilanstolkar och fast anstllda tolkar. r 2003 stod extraanstllda konferenstolkar fr 57 % av tolkdagarna.
Notwithstanding the higher cost, a higher percentage of freelance interpretation than at the DG Interpretation seems justified because of more uneven demand. 
Trots de hgre kostnaderna frefaller en strre andel frilanstolkning n vid GD Tolkning motiverad p grund av en ojmnare efterfrgan.
However, the five languages with the highest percentage of freelance interpretation (in decreasing order: Spanish, Italian, English, Finnish and Swedish) are languages for which the travel costs of ACIs are above average. 
De fem sprk som har strst andel frilanstolkning (i fallande ordning: spanska, italienska, engelska, finska och svenska) r dock sprk dr resekostnaderna fr extraanstllda konferenstolkar ligger ver genomsnittet.
The allowances of ACIs Reimbursement of travel expenses and daily allowances 63. 
Ersttningar till extraanstllda konferenstolkar Ersttning fr resekostnader samt dagtraktamenten 63.
Due to the Agreement, which grants ACIs a travel allowance, a daily allowance and reimbursement of travel and hotel costs, ACIs benefit from more favourable travel conditions than their permanent colleagues. 
P grund av det tidigare nmnda avtalet, som ger de extraanstllda konferenstolkarna ett resebi-drag, ett dagtraktamente och ersttning fr rese-och hotellkost-nader, omfattas de av frmnligare resevillkor n sina fast anstllda kolleger.
For meetings held outside Brussels, this results in unequal travelling conditions for interpreters of the same level performing the same job. 
Nr mten hlls utanfr Bryssel resulterar detta i olika resevillkor fr tolkar som har liknande kvalifikationer och som utfr samma arbete.
