The tables annexed to the CourtŐs report show that competition in invitations to tender was broad-based and real (on average for Phare, 27,2 expressions of interest, 9,5 firms on the shortlist, 4,7 bids received and 2,4 bids making it through to the financial evaluation stage and, for Tacis, 27,6 expressions of interest, 8,4 firms on the shortlist, 5,2 bids received and 2,7 bids making it through to the financial evaluation stage). 
De tabeller som bifogats revisionsrttens rapport visar att konkurrensen i upphandlingarna var bred och reell. (Fr Phare var genomsnittet 27,2 intresseanmlningar, 9,5 fretag p den begrnsade listan, 4,7 inkomna anbud och 2,4 anbud som blev freml fr ekonomisk utvrdering; fr Tacis var genomsnittet 27,6 intresseanmlningar, 8,4 fretag p den begrnsade listan, 5,2 inkomna anbud och 2,7 anbud som blev freml fr ekonomisk utvrdering.)

In this case, the Romanian contracting authority considered that the very specific field covered by this project and the complexity of the terms of reference required the setting up of a consortium between firms of at least two Member States. 
I detta fall ansg den rumnska upphandlande myndigheten att det var ndvndigt att fretag frn tminstone tv olika medlemsstater bildade konsortier, p grund av det mycket specifika omrde som projektet avsg samt den komplexa kravspecifikationen.
The initial number of firms invited (16) gave a wide base for competition and six firms finally took part in the two tenders submitted. 
Antalet fretag som frst uppmanades att lmna anbud (16) visar att det frelg en bred konkurrens. Sex fretag deltog slutligen i de tv anbud som inlmnades.
As mentioned earlier, this practice was in complete conformity with the provisions of the Regulation and the two bids received involved five of the eight firms initially invited. 
Som redan konstaterats var detta tillvgagngsstt helt i enlighet med bestmmelserna i den gllande frordningen. De tv anbud som inlmnades involverade fem fretag av de tta som ursprungligen uppmanats att inkomma med anbud.
In this case, the charge arises from the suspicion that the representative of the recipient country was likely to be biased in the evaluation. 
I detta fall frelg en misstanke om att representanten fr det stdmottagande landet kunde vara partisk i utvrderingen.
The Commission was informed of these allegations and the evaluation was the subject of close scrutiny. 
S snart kommissionen hade informerats om dessa pstenden gjordes utvrderingen till freml fr srskild uppmrksamhet.
Owing to the number of members (five) of the Tacis evaluation committees, it is very difficult for only one member of the committee to skew an evaluation. 
Eftersom varje utvrderingskommitt inom Tacis-programmet har s mnga som fem medlemmar, r det mycket svrt fr en ensam medlem av kommittn att snedvrida en utvrdering.
At the end of the evaluation, it was clear that the vote of the recipientŐs representative had no influence on the final choice in the way suspected by the Court, in so far as that he granted his highest mark to the complainant, and the result would have been the same even if this mark had not been taken into account. 
Efter utvrderingen stod det klart att den rst som representanten fr det stdmottagande landet avgivit inte hade pverkat det slutgiltiga valet p det stt som revisionsrtten uppger. Representanten hade givit hgsta pong till den klagande, och resultatet av utvrderingen skulle ha blivit detsamma om hans pong inte hade rknats med.
Since the evaluation did not show evidence of any irregularity, the Commission awarded the contract. 
Eftersom utvrderingen inte visade ngra tecken p oegentligheter verkstllde kommissionen tilldelningen av kontraktet.

Under both Phare and Tacis tenderers are always notified if the creation of consortia is not authorised. 
Inom bde Phare-programmet och Tacis-programmet informeras anbudsgivarna systematiskt i de fall bildandet av konsortier inte r tilltet.
The choice depends on the technical nature of the project, which is described in detail in the terms of reference. 
Denna mjlighet r beroende av projektets tekniska natur som preciseras nrmare i kravspecifikationen.
The list of the general evaluation criteria was included in the instructions to tenderers that were always attached to the Tacis tender dossier. 
Frteckningen ver de allmnna utvrderingskriterierna ingick i de anvisningar till anbudsgivarna som systematiskt tfljde anbudshandlingarna inom Tacis-programmet.
It is true that the routine use of external experts to carry out evaluations of invitations to tender for public contracts can present risks. 
Det r riktigt att ett systematiskt anlitande av externa experter fr att utvrdera anbud nr det r frga om arbetsuppgifter med anknytning till statliga ligganden, kan vara frenat med vissa risker.
The Commission considers it regrettable that, in the absence Phare of sufficient statutory personnel and of high-level technical expertise that is only available on the market, it has no other choice but to resort to the private sector to carry out such tasks. 
Kommissionen beklagar att man p grund av bristen p fast anstlld personal och avsaknaden av specialiserad teknisk kompetens som bara finns tillgnglig p marknaden har tvingats vnda sig till den privata sektorn fr att kunna utfra uppgifter av detta slag.
However, it should be stressed that the external experts do not have decision-making powers and that they only submit recommendations to the contracting authority via the conclusions of the jury. While these potential risks exist, the expertsŐ selection is completely transparent. 
Det br dock framhllas att de externa experterna inte har ngra beslutsbefogenheter, och att de endast lgger fram rekommendationer, via juryns slutsatser, till den upphandlande myndigheten. ven om det freligger potentiella risker r rekryteringen av experter helt ppen fr insyn.
Framework contracts were concluded following an international invitation to tender with firms that were selected by a very competitive process. 
Ramavtalen har frdelats efter en internationell anbudsinfordran, och valet av fretag har fregtts av en mycket bred konkurrens.
These firms are officially banned from taking part in invitations to tender in fields falling within their framework contract. 
Dessutom r det formellt frbjudet fr dessa fretag att delta i upphandlingar inom omrden som har anknytning till deras ramavtal.
The sworn statements made by the evaluators render them personally accountable, in accordance with modern principles of sound management. 
Frklaringen p heder och samvete gr utvrderaren personligt ansvarig och verensstmmer slunda med moderna principer fr god frvaltning.
The Commission regrets not being able to implement the CourtŐs suggestion concerning the dissemination of data on experts giving their profiles and track records, owing to a lack of human and material resources (in particular computer resources). 
Kommissionen beklagar att man p grund av otillrckliga mnskliga och materiella resurser (srskilt betrffande informationsteknik) inte kan frverkliga revisionsrttens frslag om spridande av information om experternas profiler och prestationsfr-mga.
In the case of Phare, the Commission acknowledges that errors were made by the local contracting authorities, affecting four cases in two countries. 
Nr det gller Phare-programmet medger kommissionen att de upphandlande lokala myndigheterna i tv lnder har handlat felaktigt i fyra fall.
However, the Commission does not believe there was any confusion of interest in the case of Tacis (see paragraph 45). 
Kommissionen anser att ingen sammanblandning av intressen har frekommit inom Tacis-programmet (se punkt 45).

In this case, it is true that the Bulgarian contracting authority should have prohibited the firm from proposing the expert in question, or even eliminated this firmŐs tender. 
I detta fall r det riktigt att den bulgariska upphandlande myndigheten borde ha frbjudit fretaget att fresl experten i frga eller till och med ha bortsett frn anbudet frn detta fretag.
In this case, the Commission employed three people in no way involved in the tender to draw up the specifications. 
I detta fall anlitade kommissionen tre personer fr att utarbeta kontraktsspecifikationerna. Dessa personer var inte p ngot stt inblandade i ngot av anbuden.
The fourth person, to whom the Court refers, did not take part in the drafting of the specifications and played no role in the invitation-to-tender procedure. 
Den fjrde personen som revisionsrtten refererar till deltog inte i utarbetandet av kontraktsspecifikationerna och hade ingen roll under anbudsfrfarandet.

In the case of Phare, it happened that evaluators were prevented at the last minute from taking part in meetings for reasons of force majeure (illness, travel or other impediments). 
Inom Phare-programmet intrffar det att utvrderare i sista minuten frhindras att delta i sammantrdena p grund av force majeure (sjukdom, resa, frhinder, etc.).
Since the Phare objective of the contracting authority was to ensure a fair evaluation by competent people, it accepted their replacement by other competent evaluators. 
Eftersom den upphandlande myndighetens uppgift r att garantera en rttvis utvrdering utfrd av kompetenta personer, godtar myndigheten i sdana fall att dessa personer erstts av andra kompetenta utvrderare.
The case where it is alleged that an evaluator signed the list of participants for a meeting he had not attended was an exceptional case (see the detailed reply to paragraph 47). 
Fallet dr en utvrderare psts ha undertecknat en nrvarolista fr ett sammantrde som han i verkligheten inte deltagit i utgr ett specialfall (se det detaljerade svaret i punkt 47).
The Tacis case was an exceptional one.

In this case the Polish contracting authority admits the absence of the evaluator at the last meeting of the evaluation committee. 
I detta fall har den polska upphandlande myndigheten erknt att utvrderaren var frnvarande frn utvrderingskommittns sista sammantrde.
This evaluator sent the chairman of the committee a letter explaining his absence. 
Denna utvrderare hade fr vrigt snt ett brev till kommittns ordfrande som rtt-frdigade hans frnvaro.
The signing of the list of participants was probably the result of a mistake as to the date. 
Namnteckningen p nrvarolistan beror antagligen p ett misstag betrffande datumet.
In any event, absent or not, the marks of this evaluator in no way affected or nullified the final outcome of the invitation to tender. 
I alla hndelser, vare sig utvrderaren var frnvarande eller inte, har dennes pong inte i ngot fall varken ndrat det slutgiltiga resultatet eller snedvridit resultatet av anbudsinfordran.
All the evaluators signed the evaluation report, thus affirming the validity of the procedure (Bulgarian contracting authority). 
Samtliga utvrderare har undertecknat utvrderingsrapporten och drmed erknt frfarandets giltighet (bulgarisk upphandlande myndighet).
In response to the CourtŐs comments, the Commission delegation in Romania requested an explanation from the chairman of the local contracting authorityŐs evaluation committee. 
Revisionsrttens ppekande franledde kommissionens delegation i Rumnien att krva en frklaring av ordfranden fr den upphandlande lokala myndighetens utvrderingskommitt.
He explained that the remarks of the evaluator quoted by the Court arose from the fact that some evaluators finished their individual evaluations more quickly than others and that all were present when the interviews were held. 
Denne frklarade att ppekandena frn den utvrderare som revisionsrtten citerar hade sin grund i att vissa utvrderare blev klara med sin individuella utvrdering fortare n de andra, och att samtliga var nrvarande under intervjuerna.
Furthermore, all the evaluators filled in their sheets and evaluation grids correctly, and the procedure was conducted in normal conditions of confidentiality in the room where the tenders were kept permanently under lock and key. 
Dessutom fyllde samtliga utvrderare i sina utvrderingsformulr och utvrderingstabler p ett korrekt stt, och frfarandet gde rum under normala konfidentiella frhllanden i den lokal dr anbuden stndigt hlls slutna.
Marks awarded to the technical proposals 50. 
De tekniska anbudens pong 50.
Evaluators work quite independently, and any significant divergence has to be justified. 
Utvrderarna arbetar helt sjlvstndigt, och varje avvikelse av betydelse mste motiveras.
A procedure can only be cancelled if the marking reveals irregularities, not because of a wide range of marks, which can be completely justified and accepted by the evaluation committee and the contracting authority. 6.12.2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 350/25 Box 4 Phare 52. 
Ett beslut om annullering av anbudsfrfarandet fr endast fattas om man kan konstatera att det freligger extrema pongsttningar, och inte endast p den grunden att pongen skiljer sig t, vilket kan vara fullstndigt motiverat och senare kan ha accepterats av utvrderingskommittn och den upphandlande myndigheten.
In this case, (the Polish contracting authority), while it is true that the marks awarded by one of the evaluators diverged from those awarded by the other members of the committee, this same person awarded top marks to tenderers that did not win the contract. Thus any suspicion of bias is unfounded. 
6.12.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 350/25 Ruta nr 4 Phare 52. ven om det i detta fall (som rrde en polsk upphandlande myndighet) r riktigt att en av utvrderarna satte pong som avvek frn de pong som sattes av de vriga medlemmarna av utvrderingskommittn, gav denna person sina hgsta pong till sdana anbudsgivare som inte erhll kontraktet.
The technical marks of the recipientŐs representative therefore did influence the award of the contract. 
De tekniska pong som stdmottagarens representant satte pverkade sledes inte tilldelningen av kontraktet.
The CourtŐs suggestion that the top and bottom marks be discarded is very difficult to put into practice since it would mean systematically summoning five members of an evaluation committee only to rule out the marks of two of them. 
Revisionsrttens frslag om att utesluta de extrema pongen r mycket svrt att omstta i praktiken, eftersom det skulle innebra att man systematiskt mste sammankalla fem medlemmar av en utvrderingskommitt fr att utesluta tv medlemmars pong.
Moreover, the chairmen of evaluation committees check whether any significant variation in the marks is the result of an evaluatorŐs bias. If that turns out to be the case, either the evaluation is cancelled and referred to another committee or the marks of the evaluator in question are not taken into account. 
Dessutom undersker ordfrandena fr utvrderingskommitterna om eventuella betydande skillnader i pongsttningen r resultatet av att en utvrderare r partisk. Om s r fallet annulleras utvrderingen som i stllet grs av en annan kommitt, eller s bortser man frn denna utvrderares pong vid sammanrk-ningen.
Indeed, interviews take place when the evaluators have examined the written technical proposals. 
Intervjuerna ger nmligen rum efter det att utvrderarna redan har granskat de skriftliga tekniska anbuden.
The aim of interviews is to go into some aspects of the proposal in greater detail and get a better idea of the abilities of the team proposed. 
Syftet med intervjuerna r att vissa delar av anbuden skall kunna underskas nrmare och att man skall kunna bilda sig en exakt uppfattning om vilken kapacitet som det freslagna projekt-teamet besitter.
As soon as they have finished, the evaluators indicate whether or not and to what extent the interviews are likely to affect, favourably or unfavour-ably, their initial opinion. 
S snart intervjuerna har avslutats anger utvrderarna om och i vilken utstrckning dessa intervjuer har ftt dem att ndra sin ursprungliga uppfattning i positiv eller negativ riktning.
If necessary, they then modify some of their marks accordingly. 
Vid behov modifierar de vissa av sina pong drefter.
It is quite normal for final technical marks to be reconsidered following the interviews when it appears that, despite the quality of written bid, the expertsŐ skills or suitability fall short. 
Det r normalt att de slutgiltiga tekniska pongen omprvas i de fall d experternas kvalitet eller lmplighet inte har blivit bekrftad under intervjun, trots att det skriftliga anbudet hll en hg kvalitet.
The option of interviews is taken on the basis of the nature of the project and the profiles sought. 
Beslutet om huruvida intervjuer skall hllas fattas med beaktande av projektets karaktr och de profiler som sks.
The practice of not inviting firms whose written technical bid does not meet the minimum quality threshold is a procedure comparable to an examination in two parts, written then oral. 
Praxis att inte kalla de fretag vars anbud inte har uppvisat en viss minimikvalitet vid den skriftliga tekniska utvrderingen kan jmfras med en examination i tv etapper, frst skriftligt och sedan muntligt.
It avoids unnecessary expense for tenderers who have no chance of being awarded the contract. 
Tack vare detta frfarande kan man undvika att anbudsgivare som inte har ngon chans att erhlla ett visst kontrakt drar sig ondiga kostnader.
Under both Phare and Tacis there were two methods of evaluating financial bids during the reference period: (a) the total price: method used for projects where the expected result was clearly defined in terms of an end product or a precise number of man-days of specific expertise; (b) the total price divided by the number of experts: method used for projects where the expected result was defined in terms of objectives and it was up to the tenderer to specify the type and duration of the technical assistance deemed necessary to achieve these objectives. The two methods could be combined, depending on whether reimbursable expenditure was taken into account, or the cost of equipment, and depending on the specific nature of the invitation to tender. 
Under referensperioden tillmpades tv metoder inom Phare-programmet och Tacis-programmet fr att utvrdera de ekonomiska anbuden, nmligen a) den totala kostnaden; denna metod tillmpades p projekt dr det vntade resultatet var tydligt definierat, som en viss slutprodukt eller som ett exakt antal dagar av specifika expertin-satser, b) den totala kostnaden dividerad med antalet experter; denna metod tillmpades p projekt dr det vntade resultatet var definierat som ett ml och dr det ankom p anbudsgivaren att i sitt metodval specificera vilken typ av tekniskt bistnd han avsg att mobilisera fr att uppn dessa ml, och under hur lng tid.

For a team made up of a given number and type of experts, a private firm would be taking a major risk if it proposed a higher proportion of European experts than necessary to satisfy

C 350/26 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 6.12.2000 the technical specifications, given the considerable difference between the cost of an EU expert and the cost of a local one (of three to one). The alleged advantage accorded to EU experts is thus debatable.

File management 64. 
Frvaltningen av rendena 64.
The dispersal of documents is inherent in the decentralised and devolved nature of a programme such as Phare, where the recipients are countries applying for accession. 
Nr det gller Phare-programmet r spridningen av dokumenten en oundviklig fljd av den decentralisering och delegering som utmrker detta program, dr stdmottagarna utgrs av kandidatlnder.
The Commission admits that in some cases, as a result of local circumstances, the documentation was not kept in a uniform way. 
Kommissionen medger att dokumentationen i vissa fall inte har frvaltats p ett enhetligt stt p grund av de lokala frhllandena.
However, in June 1999 the Commission gave the delegations detailed instructions on the keeping of files. 
Kommissionen har dock i juni 1999 givit delegationerna noggranna anvisningar om sktseln av akterna.
As to Tacis, the Commission notes that the management of files, though not irreproachable, is acceptable. 
Nr det gller Tacis-programmet konstaterar kommissionen att sktseln av akterna varit godtagbar utan att fr den skull ha varit oklanderlig.
The Commission acknowledges that, for the period under consideration by the Court, there were problems with the file-keeping for Phare. 
Nr det gller Phare-programmet medger kommissionen att det har frekommit problem med arkiveringen av akterna under den period som revisionsrtten har granskat.
Instructions on the archiving of Phare files were given on 3 June 1999. 
Nr det gller Phare-programmet gavs anvisningar om arkivering den 3 juni 1999.
The management of information on contracts by a private operator is rendered necessary by the lack of statutory staff. 
Att man har ltit en privat byr frvalta information om kontrakten beror p att den fast anstllda personalen inte har rckt till.
At the moment the Commission does not have any choice but to farm out this work. 
Fr nrvarande har kommissionen inget annat val n att lgga ut dessa uppgifter p externa byrer.
Since 1997, the PU contract has carried a clause excluding the contractor and all who work for him from Tacis contracts and financing. 
Sedan 1997 innehller de kontrakt som den upphandlande enheten ingr en klausul som utesluter den avtalsslutande parten och dem som arbetar under denne frn alla kontrakt och finansieringar inom ramen fr Tacis-programmet.
In the absence of sufficient statutory staff at both head office and in the delegations, recourse to non-statutory staff was and is the only solution. 
Eftersom det saknas tillrckligt med fast anstlld personal bde p huvudkontoret och vid delegationerna var, och r alltjmt, den enda tillgngliga lsningen att anvnda tillfllig personal.
The periodic rotation of this non-permanent staff, which takes place at the end of contracts entails a loss of institutional memory, which does nothing to help file-keeping. 
Den periodiska omsttning av den tillflliga personalen som intrder vid kontraktens utgng leder till att historisk knnedom om akterna gr frlorad, vilket inte underlttar sktseln av dem.
