Rules and practices 57. 
Frordningar och praxis 57.
The practices described below had the direct or indirect effect of easing or even circumventing the rules in force. 
De tillvgagngsstt som beskrivs nedan har direkt eller indirekt lett till att de gllande bestmmelserna urvattnats eller till och med kringgtts.
Dating of contracts 58. 
Datering av avtal 58.
In order to make up for the delay in relation to the timetable for conducting the first call, the DG for Agriculture had to speed up the negotiation phase, given the budgetary constraint, to enable contracts to be signed by 31 December 1995. As the negotiations had not been completed by that date, many contracts were finalised only at the beginning of the following financial year, but the Commission still dated them December 1995. 
Fr att ta igen frseningen i frhllande till tidtabellen fr den frsta frslagsinfordran var generaldirektoratet fr jordbruk tvunget att med beaktande av budgetrestriktionerna pskynda frhandlingsskedet s att avtalen skulle kunna undertecknas fre den 31 december 1995. Eftersom frhandlingarna inte hade slutfrts vid detta datum slutfrdes ett antal avtal frst i brjan av pfljande budgetr. Kommissionen daterade dem emellertid till december 1995.
In fact, out of 48 projects studied, 18 similar cases were identified in respect of different calls, but all for area 4. 
Av 48 projekt som granskades kunde man i sjlva verket identifiera 18 liknande fall som hnfrde sig till olika frslagsinfordringar, dock alla inom omrde 4.
This procedure contravenes Article 6(5) of the Financial Regulation, which provides that Ôthe commitments shall be entered in the accounts on the basis of the commitments contracted up to 31 DecemberŐ. 
Detta frfarande strider mot artikel 6 femte stycket i budgetfrordningen som freskriver att Ótagandena skall tas upp i rkenskaperna p grundval av de taganden som gjorts fram till den 31 decemberÓ.
The effect of this practice was to create unsound relations between the Commission and its partners. 
Denna praxis leder till att relationerna mellan kommissionen och vriga parter blir otydliga.
In February 1998, the Commission put an end to this practice, which was legally unacceptable. 
I februari 1998 slopade kommissionen detta frfarande, som var juridiskt oacceptabelt.
The Authorising OfficerŐs role and position 59. 
Utanordnarens stllning och roll 59.
The analysis of delegation with regard to the commitment of expenditure reveals that the deputy Authorising Officer of the unit responsible for managing area 4 projects was hierarchically subordinate to the file manager, the unit head. 
Vid en analys av delegeringarna vad gller utgiftstaganden framgick att den delegerade utanordnaren fr den enhet som ansvarar fr frvaltningen av projekten inom omrde 4 var hierarkiskt understlld den som handhade rendena, dvs. enhetschefen.
As a result of this situation, he was responsible for preparing files to be submitted to the manager and for signing the corresponding commitments of expenditure. In 1996 over 98 % of the commitments of expenditure were authorised in this manner by this official alone, who was subordinate to the manager. 
Till fljd av denna situation ansvarade han fr beredning av renden som skulle lggas fram fr den som ansvarade fr frvaltningen och fr att underteckna motsvarande utgiftstaganden. r 1996 utanordnades ver 98 % av utgiftstagandena p detta stt av denna enda tjnsteman, som var understlld den frvaltningsansvarige tjnstemannen.
As is confirmed by the Treaty (1) and the Financial Regulation (2), the Authorising Officer is one of the principal parties involved in implementing the budget and is solely responsible for carrying out certain acts for which he is specifically held accountable. 
Ssom faststlls i frdraget (1) och budgetfrordningen (2) r utanordnaren en av de viktigaste aktrerna vid genomfrandet av budgeten, han har ensam befogenhet att fullgra vissa uppgifter som uttryckligen anfrtrotts honom.
These provisions are not being respected, at least in their spirit, if the deputy Authorising Officer is in a position that is hierarchically inferior to the manager. 
Dessa bestmmelser iakttas inte, tminstone inte till andeme-ningen, om den delegerade utanordnaren r hierarkiskt underordnad den tjnsteman som ansvarar fr frvaltningen.
If the Authorising Officer is hierarchically subordinate, he does not possess the independence necessitated by the responsibilities connected with his duties. 
P grund av sin underordnade stllning besitter utanordnaren inte det oberoende som krvs fr fullgrande av de uppgifter han ansvarar fr.
Interdepartmental consultation 60. 
Samrd mellan avdelningar 60.
Interdepartmental consultation is an obligation under the CommissionŐs Rules of Procedure that is intended to ensure the transparency and consistency of the final decisions it is called upon to make. 
Samrd mellan avdelningar r en skyldighet som faststlls i kommissionens arbetsordning. Det har som syfte att skerstlla ppenheten och samstmmigheten vad gller de slutliga beslut som kommissionen skall fatta.
Interdepartmental consultations for the purpose of (1) Article 209(c) of the EC Treaty. 
Samrd mellan avdelningar fr att (1) Artikel 209 c) i EG-frdraget.

C 92/12 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 30.3.2000 selecting research proposals for the FAIR programme have been held on the basis of a list of projects identified by their number, title, cost and the estimated Community contribution. 
C 92/12 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 30.3.2000 vlja forskningsfrslag fr FAIR-programmet har genomfrts p basis av en frteckning ver projekt, dr varje projekts nummer, namn, kostnad och berknat gemenskapsbidrag anges.
In practice, this information was insufficient to enable the DGs concerned to make a genuine analysis of the proposals and judge their benefit in full knowledge of the facts. 
I praktiken har denna information varit otillrcklig fr att de berrda generaldirektoraten skall kunna gra en riktig analys av frslagen och med knnedom om ndvndiga fakta kunna bedma hur intressanta de r.
The regulatory time limit for consultation of 10 working days prior to submission of a file to the Secretariat-General has also rarely been adhered to. 
Den tidsfrist fr samrd p tio arbetsdagar innan ett rende inlmnas till generalsekretariatet som faststlls i frordningen har dessutom sllan iakttagits.
For example, the DGs consulted in connection with the first three calls were granted between just one and four days. 
Till exempel de generaldirektorat som rdfrgades i samband med de tre frsta frslagsinfordringarna hade endast en till fyra dagar p sig.
Such time limits did not enable them to apply themselves as necessary to analysing the proposals and to react promptly to possible dual-financing risks. 
Dylika tidsfrister tillt dem inte att analysera frslagen med den noggrannhet som krvdes och att i tid reagera p eventuella risker fr dubbel finansiering.
Considerable risks were thus identified in connection with the INNOVATION specific programme for the Ôdissemination and exploitation of the results of RTD and demonstration activitiesŐ (1), some of the proposals for which proved similar to those financed by the FAIR programme. 
Betydande risker upptcktes sledes inom det srskilda programmet INNOVATION fr Óspridning och optimering av resultaten av verksamheter inom omrdena forskning, teknisk utveckling och demonstrationÓ (1), dr vissa frslag visade sig likna dem som finansierades genom FAIR-programmet.
Entry in the accounts and monitoring of staff and operating costs 62. 
Bokfring och vervakning av personalutgifter och administrativa utgifter 62.
As at 31 October 1998, the Commission listed 93 staff financed using FAIR research programme appropriations. 
Den 31 oktober 1998 angav kommissionen att 93 anstllda finansierades med forskningsanslag fr FAIR-programmet.
Of this total, 54 contributed exclusively to the management of FAIR measures, while the remainder were actually assigned to other programmes or departments. 
Av detta antal arbetade 54 uteslutande med frvaltningen av FAIR-verksamheten medan de vriga i sjlva verket var avdelade fr andra program eller avdelningar.
The actual departmental organisational charts indicate that 91 staff were physically assigned to tasks related to the programme. 
Avdelningarnas organisationsscheman anger att 91 anstllda fysiskt avdelats fr uppgifter med anknytning till programmet.
37 of these staff are financed from sources other than the FAIR budget heading and 21 by operating appropriations. 
37 av dessa finansieras genom andra kllor n budgetrubriken fr FAIR och 21 genom administrativa anslag.
This separation of budgetary management from the physical management of staff assigned to a programme is arbitrary. 
Denna tskillnad mellan den budgetra och den fysiska frvaltningen av de anstllda som avdelats fr ett program r godtycklig.
It complicates, if not interferes, with the monitoring of the corresponding expenditure for no reason. 
Den komplicerar eller skadar till och med utan orsak vervakningen av motsvarande utgifter.
The Council Decision adopting the FAIR specific programme provides for maximum staff and operating costs of 3,3 % and 4 % of the programmeŐs budget respectively. 
I rdets beslut om det srskilda programmet FAIR tilldelas personalutgifter och administrativa utgifter ett maximibelopp p 3,3 % respektive 4 % av programmets budget.
To ensure that these thresholds are adhered to, the Commission has introduced a flat-rate method for allocating expenditure which consists of dividing it between the specific programmes in proportion to the budgetary allocation fixed for each. 
Fr att skerstlla att dessa tak iakttas har kommissionen infrt en metod med schablonmssig tilldelning av utgifter som bestr i att utgifterna frdelas mellan srskilda program i frhllande till de budgetmedel som faststllts fr vart och ett av dem.
It emerges from this that the maximum percentages imposed are always adhered to, but also that the true costs of staff and, more importantly, the programme are unknown. 
Detta fr till fljd att de maximiprocentsatser som faststllts alltid iakttas, men ven att man inte knner till de faktiska personalutgifterna eller utgifterna fr programmet.
The other expenditure is included in what is known as administrative expenditure and is therefore used to calculate the related authorised ceiling. 
De vriga utgifterna tas upp bland det som kallas administrativa utgifter och ingr i berkningen av det godknda taket fr dessa.
In addition to these accounting and budgetary practices, it should be noted that, in order to adhere to the authorised percentage, the calculation of staff costs does not take account of expenditure relating to at least 21 permanent officials, who are remunerated using appropriations for administrative expenditure under Part A of the budget. 
Utver denna bokfrings-och budgeteringspraxis br dessutom noteras att berkningen av personalutgifter fr iakttagande av den godknda procentsatsen inte beaktar utgifterna fr minst 21 fast anstllda tjnstemn som avlnas med anslag frn Óadministrativa utgifterÓ som ingr i del A i budgeten.
Existence of private agreements with contractors 66. 
Frekomsten av srskilda avtal med avtalsparter 66.
The Commission authorised private financial agreements with several contractors. 
Kommissionen har godknt srskilda finansieringsverenskommelser med flera parter.
These agreements in fact exempted them from the obligation of drawing up true overhead rates and sanctioned the use of flat rates for all European projects. 
Dessa verenskommelser beviljade dem i sjlva verket undantag frn skyldigheten att faststlla reella allmnna utgiftssatser och godknde anvndandet av schablonmssiga procentsatser fr alla europeiska projekt.
It was possible to identify 24 private framework agreements, conventions or arrangements on the basis of Commission information. 
P basis av kommissionens uppgifter har man kunnat identifiera 24 srskilda ramavtal, konventioner eller verenskommelser.
Amongst the above, several cases were detected where the overhead amounts were not calculated in accordance with the contractual mechanism. 
Bland de sistnmnda uppdagades flera fall dr beloppen fr de allmnna kostnaderna inte hade berknats i enlighet med avtalsbestmmelserna.
The overheads declared by two of the beneficiaries audited were even exorbitant. 
Tv av de granskade stdmottagarna hade till och med deklarerat alltfr hga allmnna kostnader.
Despite the fact that the findings of audits carried out by external firms confirmed this, no corrective action was taken by the Commission departments responsible. In addition, these agreements could have been contested on legal grounds when the fourth FP ended, mainly because they were so out-of-date: none of them had been drawn up at the time of the fourth FP and 17 of them were over 10 years old. 
Trots de resultat som externa byrer kom fram till vid sina granskningar och som bekrftar detta har de ansvariga kommissionsavdelningarna inte vidtagit ngra korrigerande tgrder. Dessa verenskommelser hade i slutet av fjrde ramprogrammet ven ett tvivelaktigt juridiskt vrde, i huvudsak p grund sin hga lder, ingen av dem hade ingtts under fjrde ramprogrammet och 17 var ver tio r gamla.
The conclusion of financial agreements that derogate from the general terms and conditions of standard contracts impedes smooth monitoring and control of the financial aspects of files and affects the transparency of the contractual procedures. 
Ingendet av finansieringsverenskommelser som avviker frn de allmnna villkoren i standardavtalet hindrar en korrekt vervakning och kontroll av rendenas ekonomiska aspekter och pverkar ppenheten fr avtalsfrfarandena.
Practices of this kind in fact grant unjustified easy terms to some contractors without being even mentioned in the provisions of the contracts signed. 
En dylik praxis medfr i sjlva verket alltfr stora lttnader fr vissa avtalsparter utan att dessa nmns i bestmmelserna i de avtal som undertecknats.
Cooperation with the FAIR Programme Committee Quality and scope of the information forwarded 69. 
Samarbete med programkommittn fr FAIR Kvaliteten och rckvidden av den information som meddelats 69.
The main task (2) of the Programme Committee, comprising representatives of the Member States, is to assist the Commission in adopting certain measures. 
Programkommittn, som bestr av fretrdare fr medlemsstaterna, har som huvudsaklig uppgift (2) att bitrda kommissionen vid antagandet av vissa tgrder.
Depending on the nature and (2) The Programme CommitteeŐs role is described in the Council Decision of 13 July 1987 laying down the rules for exercising the implementation powers conferred upon the Commission and in Articles 5 to 7 of the Council Decision concerning the FAIR specific programme. 
Beroende p tgrdens natur (2) Programkommittns uppgifter faststlls i rdets beslut av den 13 juli 1987 om nrmare villkor fr utvandet av kommissionens genomfrandebefogenheter och i artiklarna 5 till 7 i rdets beslut om det srskilda programmet FAIR.
Article 7 lays down, inter alia, the measures on which its opinion is required or of which it should be notified regularly. 
I artikel 7 faststlls bland annat vilka tgrder som krver kommittns yttrande eller som kommittn regelbundet skall underrttas om.
30.3.2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 92/13 value of the projects concerned, the Commission departments receive its opinion or provide it with information concerning the activities implemented under the programme. 
30.3.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 92/13 och vrde mottar kommissionens avdelningar kommittns yttrande eller frser kommittn med information om verksamheten inom programmet.
Cooperation with the Committee in the area of agricultural research has been difficult on occasions, as is evidenced by the CommitteeŐs reproaches regarding the quality and scope of and time taken to present the information that has been submitted to it. 
I frga om jordbruksforskning har detta samarbete med kommittn ibland varit svrt, vilket framgr av kommittns kritik av kvaliteten, rckvidden och tidsfristerna betrffande den information som den ftt ta del av.
The CourtŐs audit revealed that the Commission had not provided the Programme Committee with the all the necessary items of information in writing. 
Granskningen har visat att kommissionen inte har gett programkommittn all ndvndig information i skriftlig form.
In other cases it had complied with the regulatory provisions, but had not adhered to the time limits for forwarding the information agreed during the CommitteeŐs proceedings. 
I andra fall verensstmde den med bestmmelserna i frordningarna, men utan att de tidsfrister fr vidarebefordran av information som verenskommits i bestmmelserna om kommittns verksamhet respekterades.
Consequently, the Committee was not always able to fulfil its role properly. 
Kommittn har drfr inte alltid kunnat fullgra sina uppgifter p ett korrekt stt.
For example, in the case of both the work programme, the FAIR1 financing proposal and interim budgetary information on the programme, the CommitteeŐs favourable opinion could only be obtained under pressure of the time limits that the Commission departments had placed themselves under in order to meet the budget timetable and avoid losing the appropriations at the end of the financial year. 
Till exempel i frga om arbetsprogrammet, finansieringsfrslaget fr FAIR1 och budget-upplysningarna under genomfrandet av programmet har man endast kunnat avge ett positivt yttrande under trycket av de tidsfrister som kommissionens avdelningar uppsatt fr sig sjlva fr att de skulle hlla budgettidtabellen och inte g miste om anslag vid utgngen av budgetret.
Taking account of the thresholds fixed by the Commission for this specific programme, there was no need to submit some activities to this Committee for its opinion. 
Med tanke p de grnsvrden som kommissionen faststllt fr detta srskilda program var det inte ndvndigt att underkasta vissa tgrder kommittns yttrande.
For example, inasmuch as the Commission had set a maximum threshold cost of ECU 1 million as a compulsory eligibility criterion (1) for SME cooperative research projects alone, not one proposal gave rise to a Community contribution in excess of the intervention threshold of ECU 0,5 million, the level above which the CommitteeŐs opinion would have been required. 
Till exempel i de fall dr kommissionen faststllt en maximikostnad p 1 miljon ecu som villkor fr stdberttigande endast fr projekt betrffande sm och medelstora fretags forskningssamarbete (1), gav inget frslag upphov till ett gemenskapsbidrag som skulle ha verstigit interven-tionstrskeln p 0,5 miljoner ecu. ver denna trskel hade kommittns yttrande krvts.
The Programme Committee was therefore notified of the list of SME proposals, but was not required to deliver its opinion. 
Programkommittn underrttades allts om frteckningen ver frslag betrffande sm och medelstora fretag, utan att den ombads avge ngot yttrande.
Lastly, even though certain agricultural research activities, such as institutional and competitive activities to provide scientific and technical support to Community policies, were implemented outside the FAIR specific programme, no coordination mechanism was provided. 
Slutligen, medan vissa forskningstgrder, ssom institutionell och konkurrensinriktad verksamhet fr vetenskapligt och tekniskt std till gemenskapsverksamheter, genomfrdes utanfr det srskilda programmet FAIR, fanns det ingen mekanism fr samordning.
Independence of Committee members 73. 
Kommittmedlemmarnas oberoende 73.
According to the Rules of Procedure laid down for the Committee, Member StatesŐ representatives must not have an interest in or be associated with a body that is party to the proposals submitted for an opinion. 
Enligt kommittns arbetsordning fr medlemsstaternas fretrdare inte ha ngra intressen i eller frbindelser med en enhet som r involverad i de frslag som framlagts fr avgivande av kommittns yttrande.
Although the audits revealed that at least 54 members of the FAIR Programme Committee held their office at the same time as being responsible for contracts, it could not be verified that the stipulated provisions had been complied with inasmuch as the minutes of the meetings did not report whether the members involved in or concerned with a proposal had taken part in the discussions. 
Trots att granskningen visade att minst fyra av 54 medlemmar i kommittn fr FAIR-programmet utver sina mandat ven innehade ansvar fr avtal, kunde iakttagandet av dessa bestmmelser inte bekrftas, eftersom protokollen ver sammantrdena inte angav om de medlemmar som var inblandade i eller berrdes av ett frslag hade tagit del i diskussionerna eller inte.

In order to take account of the commitments undertaken by the Commission in response to the European Parliament with regard to transparency (2), at the moment of their appointment to the Programme Committee, any members who were not civil servants were supposed to sign a statement certifying that no Ôcon-flict of interest existed between the CommitteeŐs work and their own private interestsŐ. 
Fr att beakta de taganden som kommissionen gjort gentemot Europaparlamentet i frga om ppenhet (2) skall de medlemmar som inte r tjnstemn nr de utnmns till medlemmar i programkommittn underteckna en frklaring som intygar att det inte existerar ngon intressekonflikt mellan kommittns arbete och deras egna privata intressen.
Implementation of the management, monitoring and control procedures 75. 
Genomfrande av frfarandena fr frvaltning, vervakning och kontroll 75.
Cases were detected where there had been a lack of discipline and punctiliousness in the implementation of the management, monitoring and control procedures, both internally and in relation to project beneficiaries. 
Brister i frga om stringens och faststllande av bestmda krav konstaterades betrffande genomfrandet av frfarandena fr frvaltning, vervakning och kontroll, bde internt och i frhllande till stdmottagarna inom projekten.
Pressure of time limits 76. 
Trycket frn tidsfrister 76.
The pressure of the budget timetable is frequently at the root of the weaknesses detected. 
Trycket frn budgettidtabellen r ofta orsaken till de svagheter som konstateras.
As the departments lack sufficient time, preparation of the management of activities has been neglected on occasions. 
Eftersom avdelningarna inte har tillrckligt med tid frbises stundom frberedandet av tgrdernas frvaltning.
The partners managing FAIR projects thus worked until March 1997 on the guide to drawing up technical reports relating to the previous programme up. 
De generaldirektorat som ansvarar fr frvaltningen av FAIR-projekt arbetade till i mars 1997 p manualen fr utarbetande av tekniska rapporter i anknytning till det tidigare programmet.
The new guide was drawn up only belatedly and could not be distributed prior to the above date. 
Den nya manualen var frsenad och kunde inte distribueras frrn vid denna tidpunkt.
The initial evaluations concerning the concerted actions were made on the basis of the questionnaire for shared-cost projects. 
De frsta utvrderingarna betrffande samordnade tgrder gjordes fljaktligen med utgngspunkt i frgeformulret fr projekt med kostnadsdelning.
This questionnaire was unsuitable, however, as there was no point in asking several of the questions concerned. 
Detta frgeformulr var emellertid inte lmpat fr ndamlet, eftersom flera av frgorna inte var relevanta.
