C 202/6 EN Official Journal of the European Union 18.8.2005 OLAF INVESTIGATIONS Investigative procedures 12. 
C 202/6 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 18.8.2005 OLAF:s UTREDNINGAR Utredningsfrfaranden 12.
Apart from coordination operations, Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 distinguishes between external investigations (Article 3) and internal investigations (Article 4). 
Utver samordningsoperationer skiljer man i frordning (EG) nr 1073/1999 mellan externa utredningar (artikel 3) och interna utredningar (artikel 4).
The Office itself divides its cases into five categories: (a) internal investigations (investigations of corruption within the institutions and assimilated bodies); (b) external investigations (direct investigations of third parties involved in activities related to Community budget transactions); (c) judicial support (support for national authorities in the context of criminal proceedings); (d) coordination (support for the Member States in the context of investigations concerning more than one country); (e) monitoring cases (the aim is to allow the Office, where important cases are concerned, to check whether the Member States are fulfilling their obligations under Article 280 of the Treaty). 
Byrn delar sjlv upp rendena i fem kategorier: a) Interna utredningar (utredningar om korruption vid institutionerna och andra likstllda organ). b) Externa utredningar (direkta utredningar om tredje part vars verksamhet har kopplingar till transaktioner i gemenskapsbudgeten). c) Juridiskt std (std till nationella myndigheter i samband med straffrttsliga frfaranden). d) Samordning (std till medlemsstater i utredningsrenden som berr flera lnder). e) Ó vervakningsrendenÓ (i viktiga renden handlar det om att byrn skall ges mjlighet att flja upp huruvida medlemsstaterna uppfyller sina skyldigheter i enlighet med artikel 280 i frdraget).
Cases at the active investigation stage (475 as at 30 September 2004) include actual investigations (252) and coordination and assistance operations (223). 
De pgende utredningarna (475 stycken per den 30 september 2004) omfattar dels faktiska utredningar (252 stycken), dels samordnings-och stdoperationer (223 stycken).
Coordination operations are particularly common in the field of revenue and shared-management expenditure. 
Det r srskilt vanligt med samordningsoperationer nr det gller inkomster och utgifter p omrden med delad frvaltning.
Consequently, out of the 23 cases examined during the audit of the customs and trade sectors, four were investigations led by the Office. 
Av de 23 renden som undersktes vid granskningen av omrdena tull och handel leddes fyra av OLAF.
This lumping-together of investigations with coordination and assistance operations within the same units of the Investigations Directorate hinders the management of resources. 
Denna sammanslagning av utredningar och samordnings-och stdoperationer inom samma enheter vid direktoratet fr utredningar str resursfrvaltningen.
For coordination and assistance cases, OLAF needs to be able to provide the national authorities with quick and effective support without being subject to severe procedural constraints. 
Nr det gller samordnings-och stdoperationer skall byrn kunna ge snabbt och effektivt std till nationella myndigheter utan att behva flja strikta formella restriktioner.
In these cases the use of investigation procedures is not always appropriate. 
I dessa renden frefaller det inte alltid vara lmpligt att anvnda utredningsfrfaranden.
It uses up resources which could have been assigned to investigations and leads to the risk of overlap with some of the responsibilities of the follow-up units. 
De belastar resurser som skulle kunna anvndas till utredningar och kan leda till verlappning med vissa av uppfljningsenheternas ansvarsomrden.
Although it can, for example, make copies of documents it finds on the premises of economic operators, it is not authorised to search the homes of their owners or staff, even if important evidence may be found there. 
Visserligen kan byrn till exempel kopiera dokument i ekonomiska aktrers lokaler men den kan inte ska igenom garnas eller personalens bostder ven om dr skulle kunna finnas viktiga bevis.
Neither is it authorised to demand access to the bank accounts of economic operators or private citizens, even where the latter are employed by a Community institution. 
Byrn kan inte heller f tillgng till en ekonomisk aktrs eller en privatpersons bankkonto, ven om denne r anstlld vid en gemenskapsinstitution.
There are therefore clear limits to the investigative acts that the Office can perform, and these affect the scope of its conclusions. 
Det finns drfr tydliga begrnsningar nr det gller vilka utredningstgrder byrn kan vidta, vilka pverkar slutsatsernas rckvidd.
Moreover, the practical effectiveness of the investigation stage may be reduced if the Member States do not respond to the OfficeŐs requests for support. 
Vidare kan utredningsfasens faktiska verkan begrnsas om medlemsstaterna inte ger byrn det std den begr.
This takes the form of denunciations forwarded by the Commission services, other EU institutions, authorities in the Member States as well as private citizens or commercial undertakings. 
Det r angivelser som lmnats in av kommissionens avdelningar, andra EU-institutioner och myndigheter i medlemsstaterna liksom av medborgare och ekonomiska aktrer.
When information of this kind is received, a new file is opened in the Office records (1). 
Nr sdana upplysningar tas emot ppnas ett nytt rende i byrns register (1).
The work of investigation then falls into three main stages: (a) an assessment stage leading to a summary report (2) by the Investigations Directorate proposing, if there is sufficient substance to the allegations received (3), that an investigation be launched. 
Utredningsarbetet kan drefter delas upp i tre huvudfaser: a) Utvrderingsfasen som avslutas med en kortfattad rapport (2) dr direktoratet fr utredningar freslr att en utredning inleds om de mottagna anklagelserna bedms vara tillrckligt vederhftiga (3).
The assessment report is submitted for the opinion of an Executive Board composed of representatives of the units that are associated with the OfficeŐs investigations. 
Utvrderingsrapporten lggs fram fr yttrande fr en styrelse bestende av representanter fr de enheter som r knutna till byrns utredningar.
As at 30 September 2004, 194 cases were in assessment (see Table 1); (b) an investigative stage during which the case is prepared. 
Per den 30 september 2004 hll 194 renden p att utvrderas (se tabell 1). b) Utredningsfasen d rendet frbereds.
In principle, as required by the procedures laid down in the OLAF manual, evidence is gathered both for and against the allegations. The investigators conclude their work by submitting a draft report to the Executive Board, which assesses whether the file should be forwarded to the courts or disciplinary authorities, whether follow-up should be initiated with a view to recovery or whether the case should be shelved. 
Principen r att samla in bevis bde fr och emot anklagelsen i enlighet med de frfaranden som anges i byrns handbok. Nr detta arbete r klart verlmnar utredarna sitt utkast till rapport till styrelsen som bedmer om rendet skall verfras till rttsliga eller disciplinra instanser, ser till att rendet fljs upp fr terbetalning eller bestmmer att det skall lggas ner.
The Director rules on the basis of the Executive BoardŐs opinion. 
Det r direktren som fattar beslut p grundval av styrelsens yttrande.
As at 30 September 2004, 475 cases were in active investigation; (c) a third stage, conducted outside the Investigation Directorate, is dedicated to the follow-up of cases transmitted to the judicial authorities and those requiring recovery of funds. 
Per den 30 september 2004 pgick aktiv utredning av 475 renden. c) En tredje fas, som utfrs utanfr direktoratet fr utredningar, gnas eventuellt t uppfljning av renden som verlmnats till rttsliga myndigheter och av renden dr medel skall terbetalas.
As at 30 September 2004, 649 cases were at the follow-up stage. 
Per den 30 september 2004 pgick uppfljning av 649 renden.

The introduction of the case management system (CMS) by the Office in 2002 made it easier for it to log investigations (1). Although improvements were made in 2003, information from this system must be approached very cautiously, as the audit revealed that there are often delays in the processing or updating of files and that the financial data in the system are neither consistent nor always verified. 
Sedan byrn infrde ett rendehanteringssystem (CSM) 2002 har registreringen av utredningar frbttrats (1). ven om det gjordes frbttringar under 2003 mste uppgifterna i systemet behandlas med stor frsiktighet eftersom granskningen visade att behandlingen och uppdateringen av mnga renden ofta var frsenad och att de redovisade ekonomiska uppgifterna varken var samstmmiga eller alltid kunde styrkas.
There have in fact been cases categorised as ongoing investigations although, in the absence of further investigative acts, the cases concerned should have been closed either with or without follow-up. 
Det har i sjlva verket hnt att utredningar redovisas som pgende fastn det inte lngre frekommer ngon som helst utredningsverksamhet och rendet borde ha avslutats, med eller utan uppfljning.
Other cases have been closed, without calculation of the sums involved. 
Det hnder ocks att utredningar avslutas utan att det har gjorts ngra berkningar av de aktuella beloppen.
In other cases the investigators had deferred closure so that they themselves could follow the cases up, although in principle this is not their responsibility. 
I ngra fall framkom det att utredarna hade skjutit upp avslutandet av utredningen fr att sjlva kunna ta hand om uppfljningen trots att detta i princip inte r deras uppgift.
Setting of priorities for OLAFŐs investigative function 18. 
Faststllandet av prioriteringar fr utredningsarbetet 18.
The policy announced by OLAF is to give priority to internal investigations and direct expenditure investigations, especially in the context of enlargement. 
Den policy som OLAF:s ledning tillmpar innebr en prioritering av interna utredningar och av utredningar som gller direkta utgifter, srskilt fr utvidgningen.
In reality, OLAF has sufficient resources to deal with all the reliable denunciations that it receives so the question of making choices between possible investigations does not arise. 
I realiteten har byrn tillrckliga resurser fr att flja upp alla serisa angivelser som tas emot, och frgan om att vlja mellan olika mjliga utredningar uppkommer aldrig.
The frequency of denunciations for each sector is indicated in Table 2. 
Antalet angivelser per sektor redovisas i tabell 2.

The assessment stage 17% 100 % 20. 
Utvrderingsfasen 20.
Broadly speaking, the Office has substantially reduced the time spent on assessment by applying a standard deadline of 15 days counting from the assessorŐs appointment. Although between October 2002 and September 2004 the proportion of assessments already in progress for more than four months fell significantly, from 62 % to 35 %, they still numbered 68. 
Generellt sett har byrn avsevrt minskat den tid som gnas t utvrdering genom att som standard tillmpa en tidsfrist p tv veckor frn den dag det utses en utvrderare. ven om andelen utvrderingar som pgick sedan mer n fyra mnader minskade betydligt mellan oktober 2002 och september 2004, frn 62 % till 35 %, uppgick alltjmt antalet till 68.
Where the documentation necessary for the assessment report has to be obtained outside the Community institutions, the standard 15-day deadline is clearly too short (2). 
Fr omrden dr dokumentationen som behvs till utvrderingsrapporten skall samlas in utanfr gemenskapsinstitutionerna frefaller tidsfristen p tv veckor vara fr kort (2).
For most of the assessments examined, the decision to open an investigation appeared (2) The Structural Funds are particularly problematic because documentation and detailed financial data are only available regionally, and not at Community or national level. 
I de allra flesta av de underskta utvrderingarna frefaller besluten att inleda en utredning vara (2) Strukturfonderna utgr ett srskilt problem eftersom dokumentationen och de ekonomiska detaljuppgifterna inte r tillgngliga p vare sig gemenskapsniv eller nationell niv utan endast p regional niv.
C 202/8 EN Official Journal of the European Union 18.8.2005 to be justified in the light of the criteria adopted by the Office. 
C 202/8 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 18.8.2005 vlgrundade i frhllande till de kriterier som antagits av byrn.
Nonetheless, the audit revealed certain practices (see Annex II) that could be improved. 
Granskningen visade dock att vissa tillvgagngsstt (se bilaga II) skulle kunna frbttras.
For example: (a) in one third of the assessments examined, the objectives selected for the investigation remained vague; (b) in one third of the assessments examined, supervision by the management proved to have been deficient; (c) half of the assessments examined had experienced significant unexplained delays. 
Slunda a) var utredningarnas ml oklara i en tredjedel av de underskta utvrderingarna, b) var ledningens vervakning bristfllig i en tredjedel av utredningarna, c) frekom det stora frseningar i hlften av de underskta utvrderingarna utan att det gavs ngon frklaring.
Although the Office is supposed to focus primarily on financial fraud, preference has in practice often been given to the criminal aspect. 
Trots att byrn i frsta hand skall inrikta sig p ekonomiskt bedrgeri har man i praktiken ofta prioriterat straffrttsliga aspekter.
The likely financial impact, that would have made it possible to establish the direction in which the investigation should go, such as the calculation of the sums misappropriated, has been given secondary status. 
De potentiella ekonomiska konsekvenserna som skulle ha gjort det mjligt att faststlla riktlinjer fr utredningsarbetet, till exempel berkning av det frskingrade beloppet, har kommit i andra hand.
22. While it is true that, by their very nature, OLAF investigations make it impossible to foresee all aspects of every stage, it is nonetheless instructive to attempt to outline how investigations are organised and planned so as to eliminate the risk of waste of resources. 
22. ven om det r ett faktum att OLAF:s utredningar till sin natur r sdana att alla aspekter av varje fas inte kan frutses r det trots detta viktigt att i stora drag frska planera hur utredningarna skall organiseras och planeras fr att utesluta risken fr att resurserna frslsas.
In this regard, assessment reports often contained nothing more than the rudiments of planning, and this was not compensated for by more detailed work plans at a later stage of the investigation. 
I sammanhanget skall nmnas att utvrderingsrapporterna ofta endast innehllit rudimentr planering utan att detta kompenserats genom mer detaljerade arbetsplaner i ett senare skede av utredningen.
In some cases, consultation with Directorate C (Analysis and intelligence) would also have enabled the assessors to make better use of the available information tools (see Annex II). 
Om man hade rdfrgat direktorat C (analys och underrttelseverksamhet) skulle ocks utvrderarna i ngra renden bttre ha kunnat utnyttja de tillgngliga tekniska underrttelseverktygen (se bilaga II).
The investigation stage 23. 
Utredningsfasen 23.
In October 2002 some 51 % of investigations had been ongoing for more than 12 months. By September 2004, however, this figure had risen to 62 %, even though the average duration of investigations had been reduced following the clearance of old cases from the time of UCLAF. 
Medan 51 % av utredningarna hade pgtt sedan mer n tolv mnader i oktober 2002 hade denna andel kat till 62 % i september 2004, ven om den genomsnittliga utredningstiden minskade i takt med att gamla UCLAF-renden avslutades.
As with assessments, the time needed by the Member States to respond to the OfficeŐs requests for documentation often led to delays (1) (see Annex II). 
Liksom nr det gller utvrderingarna var det ofta den tid medlemsstaterna behvde fr att verlmna den dokumentation byrn begrde som orsakade frseningar (1) (se bilaga II).
Other delays were caused by the fact that, in common with other Commission services, OLAF has adopted an approach to communication that is often bureaucratic, with the result that there are extensive lulls in activity which would have been avoided by visits to the authorities concerned. 
Frseningar orsakades ocks av att OLAF, i likhet med andra kommissionsavdelningar, tillmpar ett ofta byrkratiskt tillvgagngsstt nr det gller kommunikation vilket lett till lnga stiltjeperioder som skulle ha kunnat undvikas om man hade beskt de berrda organen.
The audit showed that some delays could be attributed to a certain dilatoriness on the part of the investigators, despite the fact that Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 requires, in Article 6(5), that the OfficeŐs investigations be conducted ÔcontinuouslyŐ. 
Granskningen visade att ngra frseningar berodde p viss lngsamhet frn utredarnas sida trots att det i frordning (EG) nr 1073/1999 i artikel 6.5 krvs att byrns utredningar skall pg ÓkontinuerligtÓ.
(1) The forwarding of information by the Member States is an explicit provision of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999. 
(1) Att myndigheter i medlemsstaterna skall verlmna uppgifter anges uttryckligen i artikel 7 i frordning (EG) nr 1073/1999.
One would have expected the various investigation files to explain and justify delays, but this was not the case. Although the reports that the Office is obliged to send to the Supervisory Committee on investigations open for more than nine months contain some information, there is no further obligation after that time to explain delays, of whatever duration, or even to report regularly to the Executive Board. 
Man hade kunnat frvnta sig att det i de olika utredningsrendena ges frklaringar och motiveringar till frseningarna men s var inte fallet. ven om det ges viss information i de rapporter som byrn skall lmna till vervakningskommittn efter nio mnaders utredning finns det drefter inga krav p att frseningar skall frklaras, oavsett hur lnga de r, eller ens regelbundet rapporteras till styrelsen.
In principle, the assessment reports classify the investigations by degree of priority. 
Utvrderingsrapporterna rangordnar i princip utredningarna efter hur brdskande de r.
There are in fact no criteria concerning the resources to be assigned to an investigation or the deadlines for concluding work of a given degree of priority. 
Det finns de facto inga kriterier fr resurser som skall avsttas till en utredning eller tidsfrister fr att avsluta arbetet beroende p hur brdskande rendet r.
Although the Court has already recommended such a system (2), the Office has still not set one up. 
Trots revisionsrttens tidigare rekommendation (2) har byrn nnu inte tillgng till ett sdant system.
Furthermore, there is no general tool for analysing the workload of investigators at the level of Directorate B. 27. 
Det finns inte heller ngot allmnt instrument fr analys av utredarnas arbetsbelastning vid direktorat B. 27.
The OfficeŐs investigations have suffered from the absence of a system for codifying investigative procedures, although such a system is essential both for the investigators and for those being investigated (3), especially in the case of internal investigations. 
Byrns utredningar har skadats av att utredningstgrderna inte r kodifierade, vilket dock r ndvndigt bde fr utredarna och fr dem som utreds (3), srskilt vid interna utredningar.
