Partially-automated data entry systems have been developed for the general accounts and all the necessary measures have been taken to introduce the S1 2 system (budget accounting) in January 1999. 
Partiellt automatiserade system fr inmatning av data har utvecklats fr den allmnna bokfringen och alla tgrder har vidtagits fr att det skall bli mjligt att infra SI2-systemet (budgetbokfring) i januari 1999.
Furthermore, steps are being taken to link, via the computer, the accounting and the programme for managing plant variety rights (PVR), to recruit an assistant accounting officer and to put in place a system of monthly income recovery orders, and accounting reconciliations are now undertaken on a regular basis. 
Fr vrigt arbetar man nu p att skapa en IT-lnk mellan bokfringen och programmet fr teknisk frvaltning av handlingarna om vxtfrdlarrtt (PVR.), rekryteringen av en bitrdande rkenskapsfrare och infrandet av ett system fr mnatliga betalningskrav fr inkomster r p vg att realiseras och avstmningar grs numera regelbundet.
Delays linked to technical activities (a) Contracts with the national offices The need to draw up contracts governing the procedure for verifying the eligibility of variety designations was discussed with the national offices concerned. 
Frseningar kopplade till den tekniska verksamheten a) Kontrakt med de nationella myndigheterna Upprttandet av kontrakt angende prvning av sort-bestmning har varit freml fr diskussioner med de berrda nationella myndigheterna.
The final version of these contracts has been translated so that they can soon be signed by the offices concerned. 
Den slutliga versionen av nmnda kontrakt har versatts p s stt att de snabbt kan undertecknas av de berrda myndigheterna.
In any event, the offices have already begun to draw up verification procedures based on the draft contracts. The backlog which had initially occurred at this level as regards the granting of rights has now been absorbed. (b) Calculation of the verification costs At its meeting in April 1998, and based on the proposal tabled by the Office, the Administrative Council agreed to appoint an independent financial expert, following an invitation to tender, to evaluate the method used to calculate the costs of technical examinations carried out by the national offices concerned, a method largely formulated at the outset by the Office itself. 
Den frsening som upptckts i detta skede i frga om hinder fr beviljande av gemenskapens vxtfrdlarrtt har fr nrvarande hmtats in. b) Berkning av provningskostnaderna Med utgngspunkt i ett frslag som framlagts av vxtsortsmyndigheten har dess styrelse vid sitt sammantrde i april 1998 gtt med p att efter en anbudsinfordran utse en oberoende ekonomisk expert vars uppgift skall vara att utvrdera den metod som anvnds av de olika berrda myndigheterna fr att berkna kostnaderna fr de tekniska provningarna, en metod som redan inledningsvis till stor del utarbetats av vxtsortsmyndighetens tjnsteavdelningar.
At this meeting, the OfficeŐs Administrative Council extended, until December 1999, the validity of its agreement on the Ôin-outŐ principle whereby the amounts paid to examination offices for any work undertaken are based on the examination fees received by the Office. 
Vid detta sammantrde frlngde vxtsortsmyndighetens styrelse giltighetstiden fr verenskommelsen om Óin-utÓ-principen enligt vilket de belopp som vxtsortsmyndigheten uppburit i form av provningsavgif-ter bildar utgngspunkt fr de summor som betalas till provningsmyndigheterna fr utfrda arbeten. Frlngningen gller fram till december 1999.
Other failures to publish (a) The OfficeŐs budget The OfficeŐs amending budget for 1998, adopted by the Administrative Council at its extraordinary meeting on 10 June 1998, will be published by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities in Luxembourg at the end of the second half of 1998. 
Brist p offentliggrande a) Vxtsortsmyndighetens budget Vxtsortsmyndighetens ndringsbudget 1998, som antogs av styrelsen vid dess extra sammantrde den 10 juni 1998, kommer att publiceras i slutet av andra halvret 1998 av Byrn fr Europeiska gemenskapens officiella publikationer.
Indeed, with a view to reducing the costs of publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities, several agencies (Bilbao, Lisbon, Luxembourg, Angers) have agreed to publish their budgets in a joint publication, coordinated by the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union. 
Fr att minska kostnaderna fr offentliggrande i Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning har flera decentraliserade gemenskapsorgan (Bilbao, Lissabon, Luxemburg, Angers) enats om att offentliggra sina respektive budgetar i en gemensam publikation med versttningscentrum fr Europeiska unionens organ som samordnare.
The publication containing the amending budget for 1998, will also include: Ń the 1996 budget; Ń the 1997 budget; Ń the preliminary budget for 1998; Ń the amending budget for 1998. (b)The procedures for implementing the Financial Regulation Work is currently underway on the draft Regulation laying down Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Financial Regulation of the Office. 
Denna ndringsbudget 1998 kommer att omfatta: Ń 1996 rs budget, Ń 1997 rs budget, Ń 1998 rs preliminra budget, Ń 1998 rs ndringsbudget. b) Budgetfrordningens genomfrandebestmmelser Utkastet till frordning som rr genomfrandebestmmelserna i vxtsortsmyndighetens budgetfrordning r fr nrvarande under utarbetande.
Because of the specific nature of the Office, and hence of its Financial Regulation, great care is needed in drawing up this draft Regulation, and the experience already gained by other self-financing agencies operating along similar lines to the Office (Alicante, London) must be taken into account. 
Med tanke p vxtsortsmyndighetens srart br detta utkast till frordning utarbetas med strsta noggrannhet och bygga p den tidigare erfarenhet som gjorts av vriga sjlvfinansierade decentraliserade organ (Alicante, London) som arbetar p ungefr samma stt som vxtsortsmyndigheten.
The draft should be presented to the OfficeŐs Administrative Council at its meeting in December 1998. 
Detta utkast br lggas fram vid vxtsortsmyndighetens sammantrde i december 1998. MYNDIGHETENS SVAR
C 406/54 Official Journal of the European Communities 28.12.98 EN (c) Annual Report for 1996 The draft Annual Report for 1996 has been translated and sent to the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities for publication in the second half of 1998. 
C 406/54 Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 28.12.98 SV c) rsrapport 1996 Utkastet till rsrapporten fr 1996 har versatts och vidarebefordrats till publikationsbyrn fr publicering under andra halvret 1998.
It should be noted that, in contrast to the 1995 Annual Report, the Report for 1996 includes a sizeable technical annex. 
Det br ppekas att rsrapporten fr 1996, till skillnad mot rsrapporten fr 1995, omfattar en ansenlig teknisk bilaga.
Finally, the accounting officer is currently assisted by a temporary assistant book-keeper. 
Rkenskapsfraren bitrds nu av en korttidsanstlld assistent.

C 372/56 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 22.12.1999 THE COURTŐS OPINION 1. 
C 372/56 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 22.12.1999 REVISIONSRTTENS UTTALANDE 1.
This report is addressed to the administrative council of the Community Plant Variety Office in accordance with Article 111(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 (1). 
Denna rapport riktas till frvaltningsrdet fr Gemenskapens vxtsortsmyndighet i enlighet med artikel 111.2 i rdets frordning (EG) nr 2100/94 (1).
The Court has examined the financial statements of the Community Plant Variety Office for the financial year ended 31 December 1998. 
Revisionsrtten har granskat rsredovisningen fr Gemenskapens vxtsortsmyndighet fr det budgetr som avslutades den 31 december 1998.
In accordance with Article 110 of Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 the budget was implemented under the responsibility of the President of the Office. 
I enlighet med artikel 110 i rdets frordning (EG) nr 2100/94 har budgeten genomfrts under myndighetens ordfrandes ansvar.
This responsibility included the drawing-up and presentation of the financial statements (2) in accordance with the internal financial provisions provided for in Article 112 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94. 
Detta ansvar innefattar upprttandet och framlggandet av rsredovisningen (2) i enlighet med de interna finansiella bestmmelserna enligt artikel 112 i rdets frordning (EG) nr 2100/94.
MAIN OBSERVATIONS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BUDGET OF THE COMMUNITY PLANT VARIETY OFFICE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 1998 New premises 5. 
HUVUDSAKLIGA IAKTTAGELSER OM GENOMF RANDET AV BUDGETEN F R GEMENSKAPENS VXTSORTSMYNDIGHET F R DET BUDGETR SOM AVSLUTADES DEN 31 DECEMBER 1998 Nya byggnader 5.
In 1998 the Office purchased a detached building (part of it a listed building) situated in the centre of Angers, which, until recently, was used as a hotel and restaurant. 
Myndigheten frvrvade 1998 ett privat palats i centrum av staden Angers. Palatset har delvis klassats som kulturminnes-mrke och anvndes nda tills nyligen som hotell och restaurang.
(1) OJ L 227, 1.9.1994, p. 1. 
(1) EGT L 227, 1.9.1994, s 1.
(2) Pursuant to Article 111(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 the accounts for all the OfficeŐs revenue and expenditure for the financial year 1998 were drawn up on 26 March 1999 and were sent to the OfficeŐs Administrative Council, the Commission and the Court of Auditors and the latter received them on 30 March 1999. 
(2) Som freskrivs i artikel 111.2 i rdets frordning (EG) nr 2100/94 har rkenskaperna fr myndighetens samtliga inkomster och utgifter upprttats den 26 mars 1999 och drefter verlmnats till myndighetens frvaltningsrd, kommissionen och revisionsrtten. Revisionsrtten erhll rkenskaperna den 30 mars 1999.
The two buildings have a total area of 1 150 m2, only part of which will be usable as offices. 
De bda byggnaderna upptar tillsammans en yta p 1 150 m2, av vilken endast en del kommer att kunna anvndas som kontor.
A preliminary survey estimated the cost of essential work as EUR 0,8 million, the amount which was entered in the 1999 budget. 
I en frberedande underskning har kostnaden fr de arbeten som krvs berknats till 0,8 miljoner euro. Detta belopp upptogs i budgeten fr 1999.
The cost of the initial design by the architect finally selected was around EUR 1,3 million, an increase of 61 % on the estimate used at the time of the decision to buy. 
Kostnaden fr den frsta plan som lagts fram av den arkitekt som slutgiltigt valts ut fr uppdraget uppgr till ungefr 1,3 miljoner euro, vilket innebr en kning med 61 % jmfrt med den berkning som gjordes i samband med beslutet att frvrva palatset.
The estimated total for this transaction now breaks down as follows: Acquisition of main building Acquisition of offices in annex Estimates for conversion and fitting-out work Total for transaction (in EUR) 705 000 511 000 1 332 000 2 548 000 The total amount actually charged to the OfficeŐs budget will be reduced by the remaining part of the EUR 1,524 million subsidy awarded by the local authorities to cover the costs of accommodating the Office at Angers. 
Det totala berknade beloppet fr arbetet frdelar sig slunda: Frvrv av palatset Frvrv av ytterligare kontor Berknad kostnad fr arbete med ombyggnad och inredning Total kostnad (euro) 705 000 511 000 1 332 000 2 548 000 Det belopp som kommer att belasta myndighetens budget skall minskas med terstoden av det bidrag p 1,524 miljoner euro som anslagits av de lokala myndigheterna fr att betala hysandet av myndigheten i Angers.
As of 31 December 1998 EUR 0,172 million of the subsidy had already been used in connection with the occupation of the OfficeŐs current premises. 
Den 31 december 1998 hade 0,172 miljoner euro av detta bidrag redan anvnts fr att tcka kostnaderna fr myndighetens nuvarande lokaler.
In view of the nature of the conversion work, the Office should take care to ensure that the proposed budget is adhered to. 
Med tanke p ombyggnadsarbetets karaktr br myndigheten noga se till att den planerade budgeten inte verskrids.
Advisory Committee on Procurement and Contracts (ACPC) 6. 
Rdgivande kommittn fr upphandling och avtal 6.
The ACPC comprises three temporary officials of the Office plus a representative of the financial controller in the capacity of observer. 
Rdgivande kommittn fr upphandling och avtal bestr av tre tillflligt anstllda vid myndigheten samt en observatr som fretrder controllern.
Most of the draft decisions submitted to the ACPC are from the President of the Office, who determines the work to be carried out and the enterprise to which the contract is to be awarded. 
De frslag till beslut som verlmnas till rdgivande kommittn fr upphandling och avtal kommer huvudsakligen frn myndighetens ordfrande som beslutar om vilka transaktioner som skall utfras och vilket fretag som skall tilldelas kontrakt.
22.12.1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 372/57 Language courses 7. 
22.12.1999 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 372/57 Sprkkurser 7.
Expenditure on language courses for staff and members of their families for the 1998 financial year amounted to ECU 48 524. 
Under budgetret 1998 uppgick utgifterna fr sprkkurser fr anstllda och deras familjemedlemmar till 48 524 ecu.
The courses were given and billed by only one enterprise. 
Tjnsterna utfrdes och fakturerades av ett och samma fretag.
The statement of grounds submitted to the Committee by the President of the Office with the draft decision announcing his intention of continuing to work with the same enterprise for courses in all languages was insufficient and no time limit was given. 
Myndighetens ordfrande lade infr kommittn fram ett otillrckligt motiverat frslag till beslut i vilket han tillknnagav sin avsikt att anlita samma fretag fr kurser i alla sprk utan att ange ngon tidsgrns.
Staffing policy 8. 
Personalpolitik 8.
The entire permanent workforce of the Office is made up of temporary officials, of whom only three have contracts for an unlimited period. 
Hela den fasta personalen vid myndigheten bestr av tillflligt anstllda av vilka endast tre r tillsvidareanstllda.
There is considerable use of agency workers and the expenditure on employment of this type amounted to ECU 136 382, an increase of 67 % compared with the previous year. 
Inhyrd personal anlitas i stor utstrckning och utgifterna fr denna typ av anstllning har kat till 136 382 ecu, vilket innebr en kning med 67 % jmfrt med fregende budgetr.
Despite all its efforts, the Office finds it difficult to recruit administrative staff on the basis of short-term temporary contracts, while trying to preserve a balance between the various nationalities. 
Trots flera anstrngningar stter myndigheten p svrigheter i sin strvan att rekrytera administrativ personal p kortvariga tillflliga kontrakt, samtidigt som man frsker stadkomma en jmn frdelning mellan olika nationaliteter.
This report was adopted by the Court of Auditors in Missions and reimbursement of expenses to experts and members of the administrative council 9. 
Tjnsteresor och ersttning fr utgifter fr experter och frvaltningsrdsledamter 9.
The Office reimburses part of the expenses of experts and members of the administrative council through personal accounts. 
Myndigheten betalar in en del av ersttningarna fr experter och frvaltningsrdsledamter p personliga konton.
Reimbursement to national administrations should be the rule for all experts and members of the administrative council, any exception requiring due justification. 
Regeln br vara att ersttningar till alla experter och medlemmar av frvaltningsrdet skall betalas ut till nationella myndigheter. Varje undantag frn denna regel br vederbrligen motiveras.
In addition, travel tickets should always be presented, including those for rail travel, and stamped clearly to show that they are the object of a refund. 
Vidare borde frdbevisen alltid visas upp (gller ven fr tg-resor) och stmplas s att det tydligt framgr att de erstts.
Delay in setting examination fees 11. 
Frsening i faststllandet av kostnader fr provning 11.
The basic Regulation (1) provides, as regards proceedings before the Office, that Ôby 27 April 1997 the Administrative Council shall have determined uniform methods for calculating the costs ..., which shall apply to all designated Examination OfficesŐ. 
I grundfrordningen (1) freskrivs fljande vad gller frfaranden vid myndigheten: Ó(...) fre den 27 april 1997 skall frvaltningsrdet faststlla enhetliga metoder fr kostnadsberkningen och enhetliga bestmmelser om godknda kostnadsposter, vilka skall glla fr alla bemyndigade provningsmyndigheterÓ.
The administrative council has still not taken such a decision. 
Frvaltningsrdet har fortfarande inte fattat ngot sdant beslut.
