That opinion contained no criticism of the legal and financial arrangements set up by the agreement, or any reservations regarding the advance payment of the purchase price in addition to the annual rental payments contemplated (see in that regard point 5.2). 
Utltandet innehll inte ngon kritik av det ekonomiska och rttsliga arrangemanget i verenskommelsen eller ngon reservation mot frskottsbetalningen av en del av kpeskillingen utver de planerade rliga ersttningarna (se punkt 5.2).
In consequence of that opinion, the sum of ECU 50 million was made available to the Court of Justice in order to enable it to make an advance payment pursuant to the agreement. 
Efter detta utltande stlldes 50 miljoner ecu till domstolens frfogande fr en frskottsbetalning i enlighet med verenskommelsen.
It is clear, therefore, that the Budgetary Authority was involved in the plans for the purchase of buildings by the Court of Justice pursuant to the lease-option agreement. 
Det framgr sledes att budgetmyndigheten var insatt i domstolens planer p att kpa byggnaderna i enlighet med verenskommelsen om hyrkp.
Monitoring the cost of constructing and financing the buildings annexed to the Palais The Court of Auditors expresses the criticism that there was a lack of monitoring of the implementation of the building projects and the constituent elements of the construction costs (see paragraphs 5, 7, 11 and 20(c) of the Court of AuditorsŐ report). 
Kontrollen ver byggkostnaderna och finansieringen av annexen till Palais-byggnaden Revisionsrtten kritiserar den otillrckliga kontrollen av genomfrandet av fastighetsprojekten och vad kostnaderna fr dessa bestod i (punkterna 5, 7, 11 och 20 c i revisionsrttens rapport).
It is necessary to draw attention to the conditions in which monitoring could be carried out (see point 4.1) and the gradual intensification of monitoring (see point 4.2). 
Domstolen erinrar om villkoren fr denna kontroll (4.1) och att denna kontroll gradvis kade (4.2).
4.1. 
4.1 Villkoren fr kontrollen Kontrollen pverkades dels av de interna villkoren (4.1.1), dels av det srskilda frhllandet mellan institutionen och de luxemburgska myndigheterna (4.1.2).
4.1. Internal conditions The task of the administrative departments of the Court of Justice is to provide support for its judicial activities and to undertake the day-to-day management of the institution. 
4.1.1 Interna villkor Domstolens administrativa avdelningar upprttades fr att stdja den dmande verksamheten och fr att skta institutionens lpande verksamhet.
The staff of those departments, relatively few in number, do not possess the extensive range of skills that are necessary to ensure detailed and extensive monitoring, from a technical and financial standpoint, of construction operations on such a large scale. 
De personer som r anstllda vid dessa avdelningar har inte den omfattande kompetens som krvs fr en noggrann och grundlig kontroll p det tekniska och ekonomiska planet av byggprojekt av denna omfattning.
This led the Court of Justice in 1986 to sign a contract with Bouwcentrum, a Netherlands firm of experts; however, that firm was unable to perform its task properly. 
1986 undertecknade drfr domstolen ett avtal med det nederlndska expertfretaget Bouwcentrum, som dock inte utfrde sitt uppdrag p ett korrekt stt.
The relationship, in the matter of land and buildings, between a Community institution and the Member State in which the seat of that institution is located cannot be judged by the yardstick of a contractual relationship between a private lessee and a private lessor. 
I fastighetsfrgor kan inte frhllandet mellan en gemenskapsinstitution och den medlemsstat dr institutionen har sitt ste jmfras med ett avtalsfrhllande mellan en hyresgst och en privat fastighetsgare.
The Court of Justice is in a special position as a lessee, in that it has specific requirements in terms of construction (buildings accessible to the public, courtrooms equipped with interpretersŐ booths, etc.) which go beyond a mere need for office space. 
Domstolen r en ovanlig hyresgst eftersom den har srskilda krav i frga om utformningen av byggnaderna (tillgnglighet fr allmnheten, sammantrdesrum utrustade med tolkbs, etc.) som omfattar mer n enbart ett behov av kontor.
The Luxembourg authorities used that special position as an argument for fixing the rent in accordance with the cost of construction. 
De luxemburgska myndigheterna har beropat denna ovanliga situation fr att frska faststlla hyran i frhllande till byggkostnaderna.
The Court of AuditorsŐ report contends that such a method of proceeding should have prompted the Court of Justice to envisage monitoring the cost of the construction and to require that the detailed arrangements of the building programme be formally set down in writing. 
I revisionsrttens rapport ppekas att detta borde ha franlett domstolen att kontrollera byggkostnaderna och krva att de detaljerade villkoren fr uppfrandet skulle faststllas i skrift.
It is further claimed that, while the parties were in a lessor/lessee situation, the Luxembourg authorities should have agreed to involve the Court of Justice in the definition of those arrangements. 
S lnge parterna var instllda p ett hyresavtal skulle detta dock ha krvt att de luxemburgska myndigheterna gick med p att lta domstolen delta i faststllandet av dessa villkor.
The Luxembourg authorities did not however feel bound to involve the Court of Justice in the working out of the financial arrangements criticised in the Court of AuditorsŐ report, or in the selection of the architect, the property developer and the main contractor. It was not until the Court of Justice was called on to assume ownership of the premises that it was able to learn of the financial arrangements. 
De luxemburgska myndigheterna knde sig emellertid inte franledda att lta domstolen delta i utarbetandet av det ekonomiska arrangemang som kritiseras i revisionsrttens rapport. De ansg sig inte heller tvungna att lta domstolen delta i valet av arkitekt, byggfirma och huvudentreprenr. Det var frst nr domstolen skulle bli gare som den blev informerad om det ekonomiska arrangemanget.
However, its relations with the Luxembourg authorities continued to be affected by the situation obtaining at the outset. 
Domstolens kontakter med de luxemburgska myndigheterna prglades dock fortfarande av den ursprungliga situationen.
A typical example of the ambiguity characterising the relations with the Luxembourg authorities is to be found in the fact that, despite their agreement to transfer ownership of the annexes on a non-profit basis, they continued to demand rent for the Palais notwithstanding that the cost of that building had been amortised a long time previously and despite the undertaking given by them in 1984 to reduce the rent in question in line with the amortisation of the cost of the building. 4.2. 
Som ett typiskt exempel p tvetydig-heten i frhllandet till de luxemburgska myndigheterna kan nmnas att dessa trots verenskommelsen att verlta annexen utan vinst fortsatte att krva hyra fr Palais-byggnaden, fastn denna sedan lnge hade amorterats och fastn de 1984 hade frbundit sig att snka hyran med beloppet fr amorteringen p lnen fr byggnaden.
A gradual intensification of monitoring Monitoring by the Court of Justice gradually increased in intensity (see point 4.2.1) and was ultimately placed on a systematic footing within the framework of the lease-option agreement (see point 4.2.2). 
4.2 Den gradvis kade kontrollen Domstolens kontroll kade gradvis (4.2.1) innan den sattes i system genom verenskommelsen om hyrkp (4.2.2).
During the period in which the Court of Justice was in the position of a future lessee, the points which it raised related in essence to its operational requirements, and even they were not always acted on. 
4.2.1 kningen av kontrollen Domstolen frskte vid ett flertal tillfllen pverka de luxemburgska myndigheternas val men var inte alltid framgngsrik. Under den period nr domstolens position var den framtida hyresgstens framfrde den huvudsakligen synpunkter rrande dess praktiska behov.
C 109/14 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 14.4.2000 Following its entry into occupation of the first annexe (the Erasmus building) in the autumn of 1988, the Court of Justice put forward numerous demands with a view to ensuring that that building should be rendered more fit for its intended purpose and that the matters thus raised should be taken into account in the early stages of the drawing up of plans for the construction of other buildings in the future. 
Inte heller dessa synpunkter beaktades alltid. C 109/14 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 14.4.2000 Nr domstolen brjade utnyttja det frsta annexet (Erasmus) hsten 1988 framfrde den ett flertal krav fr att denna byggnad i strre utstrckning skulle anpassas till dess avsedda anvndning och att denna synpunkt skulle beaktas redan vid planeringen av eventuella framtida byggnader.
Those demands were intended to avoid the substantial additional costs brought about by works of rectification. 
Kraven syftade till att undvika de stora merkostnaderna fr ndringsarbeten.
Once it was established that the Court of Justice was to become the owner of the buildings, it submitted observations on the various aspects of the cost of their construction. 
S snart det hade beslutats att domstolen skulle bli gare till byggnaderna framfrde den olika synpunkter avseende byggkostnaderna.
This was particularly the case as regards Annexe C, the construction of which commenced in February 1992 and the original plans for which were significantly modified at the behest of the Court of Justice. 
Detta gllde srskilt annex C, som hade brjat byggas i februari 1992 och vars ursprungliga ritningar ndrades vsentligt p domstolens initiativ.
At that juncture, however, the financial arrangements had already been put in place by the Luxembourg authorities and the essential elements of the construction programme were fixed. 
Det skall emellertid ppekas att vid denna tidpunkt hade det ekonomiska arrangemanget redan beslutats av de luxemburgska myndigheterna och merparten av byggprojektet var redan faststllt.
The Court of Justice took the view that, in the context of the lease-option agreement, it ought to attempt, in the interests of sound management, to renegotiate, through a representative of the Luxembourg Finance Ministry, the loan terms agreed between the Luxembourg State and the BCEE. 4.2.2. 
Domstolen ansg nmligen att den, fr att iaktta kraven p sund frvaltning, inom ramen fr verenskommelsen om hyrkp och under ledning av en fretrdare fr det luxemburgska finansministeriet, borde frska omfrhandla de lnevillkor som den luxemburgska staten och BCEE avtalat.
The control mechanism introduced by the lease-option agreement The agreement provided for a mechanism of control (see point 5). 
4.2.2 Den kontroll som infrdes genom verenskommelsen om hyrkp Genom verenskommelsen infrdes en kontrollbestmmelse (se punkt 5).
In response to paragraph 16 of the Court of AuditorsŐ report, it should be noted that, in certain instances, the fact that the initial financial estimates were exceeded is due to demands made by the Court of Justice which were justified by changes in its requirements (e.g. the construction of an additional storey in Annexe C, an increase in the number of interpretersŐ booths needed, etc.). 
Som svar p punkt 16 i revisionsrttens rapport ppekar domstolen att vissa av de belopp som verskred den ursprungliga finansieringsramen berodde p domstolens egna nskeml, vilka var motiverade med hnsyn till dess kade behov (uppfrande av ett extra vningsplan i annex C, fler tolkbs, etc.).
5. The lease-option agreement of 15 November 1994 The lease-option agreement, which was adopted following lengthy negotiations (see point 5.1), establishes a mechanism (point 5.2) and lays down the constituent elements of the final purchase price of the buildings (point 5.3), which does not include certain items of expenditure which the Luxembourg authorities had undertaken to bear in 1983 and 1984 (point 5.4); it was negotiated independently of the lease of the Palais (point 5.5). 
5. verenskommelsen om hyrkp av den 15 november 1994 Genom verenskommelsen om hyrkp, vilken ingicks efter lnga frhandlingar (5.1), infrdes en mekanism (5.2) och faststlldes delarna av det slutliga frsljningspriset fr byggnaderna (5.3).
Lastly, it safeguards the financial interests of the Communities (point 5.6). 5.1. 
Slutligen mjliggr verenskommelsen fr gemenskaperna att skydda sina ekonomiska intressen (5.6).
The genesis of the agreement Reference should be made in this connection to point 3.2. The agreement represents a compromise resulting from protracted negotiations between the Court of Justice and the Luxembourg authorities, rather than the ideal form of contract which the Court of Justice aspired to conclude. 
5.1 Bakgrunden till verenskommelsen I detta avseende hnvisas till punkt 3.2. verenskommelsen r en kompromiss som uppnddes efter lnga frhandlingar mellan domstolen och de luxemburgska myndigheterna och r inte i niv med domstolens ursprungliga ambitioner.
5.2. The mechanism set up The Court of Auditors is fully aware of the mechanism set up by the agreement, which it described in its technical opinion of 30 May 1996 regarding the financial commitments governing the premises of the Court of Justice. 
5.2 Den mekanism som infrdes Revisionsrtten r vl frtrogen med den mekanism som infrdes genom verenskommelsen och som den sjlv har beskrivit i sitt tekniska utltande av den 30 maj 1996 om de ekonomiska tagandena fr domstolens byggnader.
The features of that mechanism may be summarised as follows. The agreement does not fall within any specific category of contracts. 
Mekanismen kan sammanfattas enligt fljande. verenskommelsen passar inte in i ngon knd kategori av avtal.
It is sui generis, combining elements of a lease and of sale and purchase. 
Det rr sig om ett avtal sui generis som frenar inslag av uthyrning och frsljning.
Under its terms, the Luxembourg State covenants in particular to transfer ownership of the buildings to the Court of Justice (following the transfer of those buildings to the State by the property company responsible for their construction). 
Genom denna verenskommelse frbinder sig den luxemburgska staten att verlta byggnaderna till domstolen (efter att byggfretaget har verltit dessa till den luxemburgska staten).
For its part, the Court of Justice covenants, by paying annual instalments, to reimburse to the State, at cost price, the investment made by the latter, without any profit or loss to the State. 
Domstolen i sin tur frbinder sig att genom rliga betalningar och utan att den luxemburgska staten varken gr ngon vinst eller frlust erstta de investeringar denna gjort.
The annual instalments are treated as advance payments towards the purchase of the buildings by the European Communities (Article 8(1) of the agreement). 
De belopp som betalas ses som frskottsbetalningar p Europeiska gemenskapernas framtida frvrv av byggnaderna (artikel 8.1 i verenskommelsen).
Although the effects of the agreement extend from 1 August 1988 (the date on which occupation of (part of) the premises first com-menced) until the date on which the European Communities become the owners of all three annexes, namely 31 December 2015 at the latest, the annual instalments became payable only from 1 January 1995. 
Trots att verenskommelsen gller frn den 1 augusti 1988 (datu-met fr nr vissa delar av lokalerna frst brjade att utnyttjas) till den dag Europeiska gemenskaperna blir gare till alla tre annexen, senast den 31 december 2015, behvde de frsta rliga ersttningarna inte betalas frrn frn och med den 1 januari 1995.
The sums paid in respect of the occupation of the buildings between 1988 and 1994 were treated as accrued instalments of the purchase price (see point 5.3.2). 
De belopp som har betalats fr utnyttjandet av byggnaderna under ren 1988Đ1994 har rknats av frn priset ssom frfallna ersttningar (se punkt 5.3.2).
The amount of each annual instalment may be adjusted to take into account any advance payments made, over and above the annual instalments, towards the purchase price (Article 8(2) of the agreement). 
Det belopp som betalats i form av rlig ersttning kan justeras om det utver de rliga ersttningarna grs frskottsbetalningar p kpeskillingen (artikel 8.2 i verenskommelsen).
The amount in question was initially fixed in the sum of LUF 633 520 000 (ECU 16,3 million). 
Den rliga ersttningen faststlldes frst till 633 520 000 luxemburgska franc (16,3 miljoner ecu).
Following the advance payment of ECU 50 million made in October 1996 in pursuance of the abovementioned opinion of the Court of Auditors, the amount of the annual instalments was reduced to LUF 405 000 000. 
Efter en frskottsbetalning p 50 miljoner ecu i oktober 1996, p grundval av revisionsrttens ovannmnda utltande, snktes den till 405 000 000 franc.
That amount is subject to adjustment in the event of a significant increase in the rates of interest applicable to the loans used to finance the annexes. 
Detta belopp kan justeras vid en strre hjning av rntesatsen p de ln som anvnts fr att finansiera annexen.
5.3. The purchase price 5.3.1. The constituent elements of the purchase price The agreement does not specify the purchase price; instead, it lists the factors by which that price may be determined. 
5.3 Frsljningspriset 5.3.1 Frsljningsprisets delar Kpeskillingen faststlls inte i verenskommelsen, utan denna anger i stllet de faktorer som skall anvndas fr att berkna priset.
The purchase price of the buildings is determined by reference to the expenditure incurred, whether that expenditure is financed direct by the State or by the developer (Article 8(1) of the agreement). 
Byggnadernas frsljningspris faststlls utifrn utgifterna och detta oavsett om det r staten eller byggfretaget som direkt finansierar dem (artikel 8.1 i verenskommelsen).
The expenditure in question is made up of the cost of construction, architectsŐ and engineersŐ fees, costs relating to the financing of expenditure (commissions, guarantees and interest charges) and expenses incurred by the State as lessor. 
Det rr sig om byggkostnader, arkitekt-och ingenjrsarvoden, kostnader fr finansieringen av utgifterna (provisioner, garantier och rntekostnader) samt utgifter som staten dragit sig i egenskap av hyresvrd.
The inclusion of payments on account of rent made between 1988 and 1994 in the absence of a written contract Because of the absence of any written lease stipulating the terms of occupation of the annexes, the parties to the lease-option agreement found it necessary to depart from concepts strictly specific to a lease in deciding how the sums paid on account of rent between 1988 and 1994 should be characterised. 
5.3.2 Beaktande av de frskott p hyran som betalades under ren 1988Đ1994 d det inte fanns ngot skriftligt avtal Eftersom det saknades ett skriftligt hyresavtal dr villkoren fr utnyttjandet av annexen angavs, var parterna i verenskommelsen om hyrkp tvungna att fra en diskussion vid sidan av hyresav-talsbegreppet i strikt bemrkelse fr att bedma de belopp som betalats som frskottsbetalningar p hyran under ren 1988Đ1994.
In contrast to the situation prevailing in respect of the Palais, the occupation of which is governed by a written lease, the Luxembourg authorities acknowledged that it was legitimate to treat the sums paid on account between 1988 and 1994 (see points 2 and 5.2) as accrued instalments of the purchase price (Article 6 of the agreement) rather than as ÔirrecoverableŐ rent. 5.3.3. 
Till skillnad frn vad som var fallet med utnyttjandet av Palais-byggnaden, som regleras i ett skriftligt hyresavtal, medgav de luxemburgska myndigheterna att det var berttigat att anse de belopp som betalats under ren 1988Đ1994 som frskottsbetalningar (se punkterna 2 och 5.2) genom att beteckna dem som gjorda betalningar (artikel 6 i verenskommelsen) och sledes skilja dem frn de hyror som betalats Óutan mjlighet att f pengarna tillbakaÓ.
The procedures for determining the purchase price and the task of the independent expert Article 9 of the agreement provides that, on its entry into force, the parties are to appoint an independent expert whose tasks include, inter alia, calculation of the purchase price of the buildings. 
5.3.3 Faststllandet av frsljningspriset och den externa expertens uppdrag I artikel 9 i verenskommelsen freskrivs att parterna vid ikrafttrdandet skall utse en utomstende expert som srskilt skall ges i uppdrag att berkna byggnadernas frsljningspris.
The expertŐs fees are to be borne in equal shares by the State and by the Court of Justice. 
Den luxemburgska staten och domstolen skall dela p betalningen av expertens omkostnader och arvoden.
An expert was appointed pursuant to that Article in February 1995. 
I enlighet med denna artikel utsgs en expert i februari 1995.
The tender submitted by the expert, which was accepted by the Court of Justice and by the Luxembourg authorities and which thus forms the contractual framework of his task, provides for the submission by him of a report dealing in turn with four matters: first, the determination of the calculation parameters, second, the determination of the purchase price as at 31 December 1994, third, the annual determination of the flow of funds (financing costs, expenditure incurred by the Luxembourg State as lessor and VAT) and the annual updating of the purchase price and the balance payable and, fourth, the drawing up of the final statement of account. 
Enligt expertens offert som accepterades av domstolen och de luxemburgska myndigheterna, och som faststller den avtalsenliga ramen fr dennes uppdrag, omfattar uppdraget fljande fyra etapper: frst skall berkningsparametrarna faststllas, sedan skall frsljningspriset den 31 december 1994 faststllas, drefter skall det rligen samlas in uppgifter om de ekonomiska frndringarna (finansieringskostnader, den luxemburgska statens kostnader i egenskap av hyresvrd samt mervrdesskatt) samt gras en justering av frsljningspriset och av det belopp som terstr att betala och till sist skall en slutredovisning upprttas.
The tender stipulates that the information needed to determine the purchase price as at 31 December 1994 is to be made available to the expert by the Luxembourg Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Public Works. 
I offerten freskrivs att de upplysningar som r ndvndiga fr att faststlla frsljningspriset av den 31 december 1994 skall stllas till expertens frfogande av det luxemburgska finansministeriet och ministeriet fr offentliga arbeten.
According to the tender, Ôthe costs specified are to be determined and checked on the basis of the information received by the Ministries concerned. 
Dr klargrs ocks att Óde angivna kostnaderna kommer att faststllas och kontrolleras p grundval av information frn de berrda ministerierna.
An audit is to be carried out on the basis of supporting documentationŐ (point 2.2 of the tender). 
Revision kommer att utfras p grundval av verifikationerÓ (punkt 2.2 i offerten).
It can therefore be seen that the means placed at the expertŐs disposal for making a correct determination of the construction cost and for verifying that the purchase price reflected the actual costs of the operation were provided for under the agreement. 
I verenskommelsen freskrevs sledes vilka medel som skulle stllas till expertens frfogande fr att denna p ett korrekt stt skulle kunna faststlla byggkostnaden och kontrollera att frsljningspriset terspeglade de verkliga kostnaderna.
The amount thus determined is then to be used as the basis for working out the annually updated amount of the purchase price from 1988 onwards and the balance remaining payable. 
Det belopp som faststlls p detta stt anvnds sedan som grund fr berkningen av den rliga justeringen av frsljningspriset frn och med 1988 och det belopp som terstr att betala.
