In May 2004 the Council of Ministers introduced an interpretation Ôon requestŐ system that has had a general effect of decreasing the amount of interpretation requested. 
I maj 2004 infrde rdet ett system med Ótolkning p begranÓ, som generellt sett har lett till att efterfrgan p tolkning har dmpats.
This trend is confirmed for the four first months of 2005, as the total output equals that of the same period in 2004, whereas the number of languages into which and from which interpretation is requested rose from 11 to 20. 
Denna trend har hllit i sig de frsta fyra mnaderna 2005, d det kan konstateras att det totala utbudet ligger kvar p samma niv som 2004, trots att antalet sprk att tolka till eller frn har kat frn 11 till 20.
Also, the implications of this system on the availability of interpretation must be closely monitored, as a stable minimum level of activity is needed to ensure that the necessary staffing levels and quality can be retained to meet demand during peak periods. 
Det mste drfr noggrant fljas upp vilka effekter detta system har fr tillgngen till tolknings-resurser, eftersom en stabil lgsta aktivitetsniv r ndvndig fr att garantera att det finns tillrckligt med personal fr att klara topparna i efterfrgan.
THE AUDIT OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE 13. 
GRANSKNINGENS SYFTE OCH OMFATTNING 13.
In order to keep AIC travel costs as low as possible, six weeksŐ advance planning of meetings is necessary, but this may result in a number of cancellations as this advance notice period is perceived as too long by many Delegations. 
Fr att hlla resekostnaderna fr extraanstllda tolkar s lga som mjligt, br mtena planeras minst sex veckor i frvg. Detta kan dock leda till att en del mten stlls in, eftersom en del av delegationerna anser att denna framfrhllning r fr lng.
23.11.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 291/25 In case of cancellation of a meeting, interpreters are, to the extent possible, immediately re-allocated to other meetings. 
23.11.2005 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 291/25 Om ett mte har stllts in, skall de tolkar som hade anlitats fr ndamlet i mjligaste mn omfrdelas till andra mten.
A new system based on the counting of interpretation sessions, which DG Interpretation is eager to implement, would take due account of cancellations and give a clearer view of the cost of both requests and cancellations. 
I det nya system fr berkning av antalet tolkningssessioner, som GD Tolkning r angelget att infra, skulle instllda mten bokfras p ett tydligare stt och man skulle sledes f en bttre bild av kostnaderna svl fr frfrgningar om tolkning som fr instllda mten.
OBSERVATIONS 15. 
IAKTTAGELSER 15.
DG Interpretation actively monitors language use in meetings by requiring the lead interpreter to fill in a session report and by systematically informing meeting organisers about the languages requested but not used, as an incentive towards a real needs policy. 
GD Tolkning bevakar aktivt den faktiska sprkanvndningen dels genom att vid varje mte lta chefen fr tolklaget fylla i en mtesrapport, dels genom att systematiskt upplysa vriga avdelningar om de fall dr tolkning som begrts i praktiken inte anvnts.
For requests from other institutions, DG Interpretation is not in a position to decide whether a language is necessary, nor can it anticipate which languages will actually be spoken or listened to. 
Nr det gller tolkning som begrs av andra institutioner, kan GD Tolkning inte pverka vilka sprk som begrs, och man har heller ingen mjlighet att frutse vilka sprk som de facto kommer att anvndas.
Non-use of a language cannot be anticipated. Delegates may use a language other than their mother tongue due to unforeseen situations in the meeting, or simply decide not to speak at all whilst still listening to interpretation. 
Det hnder t.ex. att mtesdeltagare vljer att uttala sig p ett annat sprk n sitt modersml p grund av hur diskussionen utvecklas p mtet, eller bestmmer sig fr att inte alls uttala sig men kanske nd anvnder tolkningen fr att flja vad som sgs.
The quote Ô1 750 interpreter days paid but not usedŐ does not take into account the re-assignment of interpreters nor that a Delegation may be listening to interpretation without taking the floor. 
Nr det konstateras att 1 750 tolkdagar som begrts inte har utnyttjats, tar man inte hnsyn till att tolkar kan ha omplacerats till andra mten i dessa situationer, eller att delegationer som inte sjlva yttrat sig nd kan ha lyssnat p tolkningen.
The Commission has carefully examined the possibility of introducing an internal billing system for Commission DGs and has concluded that the administrative burden entailed would be disproportionate to any possible benefits. 
Kommissionen har noggrant underskt mjligheten att infra ett internfaktureringssystem dr vriga generaldirektorat skulle faktureras fr tolktjnsterna, men kommit till slutsatsen att det extra administrationsarbetet skulle frta effekten av de eventuella frdelarna.
Institutions such as the Council of Europe and Unesco are different in scale from the Commission and the volume of interpretation and the number of their working languages, for which interpreters are not in short supply, represent only a fraction of the CommissionŐs interpretation activity. 
Emellertid r institutioner som Europardet och Unesco mycket mindre n kommissionen och deras tolkningsbe-hov utgr ocks bara en brkdel av kommissionens, bde vad gller antal arbetssprk och total volym (det rder heller inte underskott p tolkar i dessa sprk).
The Ôon requestŐ system adopted by the Council does not totally guarantee stability in demand and makes it less predictable. 
Det system med Ótolkning p begranÓ som rdet tillmpar r mer ofrutsgbart och garanterar inte ngon stabil efterfrgan.
DG Interpretation provides in principle a fixed number of interpretation days to the Council. 
GD Tolkning erbjuder i princip rdet ett fast antal tolkdagar.
DG Interpretation is currently testing, with its clients, a new system for calculating the provision of interpretation based on sessions, which is closer to reality, because it is linked to the actual resources used, and thus, should help to reduce the level of management risks. 
Samtidigt provar man tillsammans med anvndarna ett nytt system fr berkning av den volym tolkning som tillhandahlls, vilket bygger p att man rknar mten i stllet fr tolkdagar. Ett sdant berkningsstt skulle bttre spegla verkligheten, eftersom det har en starkare koppling till de resurser som faktiskt anvnds.
This new system, when applied, will make available to clients more accurate forecasts and data on their use of interpretation and the cost thereof. 
Med det nya systemet kommer anvndarna att kunna f del av exaktare prognoser och uppgifter om sin respektive anvndning av tolktjnster och kostnaderna fr denna.
Member States are entitled to request and receive the interpretation they require and their delegations often consist of more than one person. 
Medlemsstaterna har rtt till den tolkning de begr och deras delegationer bestr ofta av fler n en person.
Each delegate may have a different capacity of expressing himself or of understanding other languages and will thus use interpretation differently (e.g. some delegates may listen directly to English, but still prefer to speak their own language or speak English but listen to interpretation into their own language). 
De enskilda fretrdarna kan ha olika frmga att frst och uttrycka sig p frmmande sprk, och sledes ocks olika behov av tolkning. Vissa mtesdeltagare kanske lyssnar direkt p engelska men talar hellre sitt eget sprk, eller vljer att tala engelska men lyssnar nd p tolkningen till sitt eget sprk.
For this reason it is difficult to say if a language can be considered not necessary because it was not spoken. 
Det r drfr vanskligt att faststlla att tolkning p ett visst sprk varit ondig fr att sprket inte talades.
The competitions for interpreters in connection with enlargement were advertised in early April 2003, 13 months before enlargement, and were completed between March and November 2004, depending on the language (the competition for Maltese was completed in December 2003, but without any successful candidates). 
Meddelandena om uttagningsprov fr tolkar infr utvidgningen offentliggjordes i brjan av april 2003, dvs. 13 mnader fre utvidgningen, och uttagningsfrfarandena fullbordades mellan mars och november 2004 (beroende p sprk Đ fr maltesiska fick frfarandet avslutas i december 2003, trots att ingen skande klarat provet).
For some of these new languages, one of the main reasons for the inadequate number of successful candidates was the shortage of interpreters trained to the internationally recognised standards. 
Fr vissa av de nya sprken beror det begrnsade antalet framgngsrika provdeltagare p att det helt enkelt rder brist p tolkar som uppfyller internationellt vedertagna normer.
The Commission is aware of some shortcomings of the BMA (mise  disposition, MAD) system used for billing its client institutions, bodies and agencies. 
Kommissionen r medveten om att det finns vissa brister med det ÓSGTÓ-system (tolkning Ósom grs tillgngligÓ, efter franska mise  disposition, MAD) som anvnds fr faktureringen av de institutioner och organ som anvnder tolktjnsterna.
For this reason it has prepared a new system to measure the amount of interpretation provided through the concept of Ôinterpretation sessionsŐ. This new system is much closer to reality and the Commission is ready to introduce billing based on it. This includes features allowing the institutions to forecast more accurately the cost of a meeting as soon as it is requested. 
Man har drfr utarbetat ett nytt system som syftar till att mta den tolkning om erbjudits i ÓtolkningssessionerÓ. Detta leder till en mer exakt mtning, och kommissionen r redo att infra en fakturering som grundar sig p den nya metoden, vilken ven underlttar fr institutionerna att p frhand bedma kostnaderna fr ett mte s snart som tolkningen begrts.
This concept was already presented to the Council, the EESC and the CoR in 2004 and simulations are being run in parallel with the existing BMA system, with a view to formally run the new sessions-based system in 2006. 
Konceptet har redan presenterats fr rdet, Europeiska ekonomiska och sociala kommittn och Regionkommittn 2004, och man har under 2004 genomfrt simuleringar parallellt med det nuvarande systemet (SGT), med mlet att formellt kunna infra det nya systemet baserat p tolkningssessioner 2006.

The figure of 1 046 euros per average interpreter day calculated for DG Interpretation is a global amount that includes expenses such as training and support to educational schemes, in-house and external awareness raising and advice on the technical aspects of multilingual communication. DG Interpretation aims at providing interpretation as requested in order to facilitate the decision making process within the European institutions. 
Beloppet 1 046 euro i genomsnitt per tolkdag inkluderar bland annat vidareutbildning och std till utbildningsprogram, informationskampanjer som tjnar till att ka kunskaperna om tolkarnas arbete, svl inom som utanfr institutionerna, samt rdgivning om de tekniska aspekterna p mngsprkig kommunikation. GD Tolkning har som ml att alltid kunna tillhandahlla den tolkning som begrs, p s stt att beslutsprocessen inom EU-institutionerna underlttas.
In 2003, many staff interpreters were involved in the preparations for enlargement: they were attending training for the new languages, providing assistance to various training programs in universities in the accession countries and sitting on competition juries or freelance tests. 
Under 2003 var mnga fast anstllda tolkar engagerade i frberedelserna infr utvidgningen. Dessa frberedelser kunde ta formen av utbildning i de nya sprken, assistans vid olika utbildningsprogram vid universitet i de anslutande staterna eller jury-arbete i samband med uttagningsprov eller frilansrekrytering.
In addition two extraordinary summits in preparation of enlargement led to the cancellation of all other meetings in the Council during the periods concerned. 
Dessutom ledde arbetet med tv extra toppmten fr frberedelse av utvidgningen till att alla andra mten i rdet stlldes in under motsvarande perioder.
Two strike days in 2003 accounted for about 1 % of the drop in the occupation level of staff interpreters. 
Tv strejkdagar under 2003 minskade ocks de fast anstllda tolkarnas sysselsttningsgrad med 1 %.
Since the unavailability of one interpreter might mean the cancellation of a whole meeting, recourse to a reserve is to be considered as a reasonable risk management measure. 
Eftersom en enda tolks frnvaro kan leda till att ett helt mte mste stllas in, br drfr en reservkapacitet sgas vara en rimlig kostnad fr att hantera en frvaltningsrisk.
Ń The Staff Regulations do not allow the institutions to insist that statutory staff take leave at a specific point of time such as periods of decreased activity. 
Ń Institutionerna har inte rtt att krva att personal som omfattas av tjnstefreskrifterna skall ta semester vid en viss tidpunkt, t.ex. under perioder med lgre arbetsbelastning.
The Commission will continue its endeavours to further reduce implicit standby duty costs. 
Kommissionen kommer att fortstta sina anstrngningar fr att minska kostnaderna fr reservkapacitet.
However, either for the reasons given above or because of late cancellations of meetings by other institutions, there is limited scope for real savings in this area. 
Mjligheterna till besparingar p detta omrde r dock ganska begrnsade, dels av de skl som frklarats ovan, dels p grund av problemet med sent instllda mten vid andra institutioner.
The Commission can retrieve information about cancellations and would be able to show the reallocation of interpreters but as this is an ongoing process such tracking would be time-consuming with any likely benefits being outweighed by the costs. 
Kommissionen skulle visserligen kunna sammanstlla de uppgifter som behvs nr det gller instllda tolkningssessioner och visa hur tolkar getts andra uppdrag i dessa fall, men eftersom det rr sig om en lpande verksamhet skulle en sdan kartlggning bli mycket tidskrvande, och leda till strre kostnader n frdelar.
The fact that there were nine working days on which at least 100 permanent interpreters were on implicit stand-by is merely an illustration of changes to planned agenda at short notice corresponding to exceptional circumstances: the European Council Extraordinary Summits, which caused the cancellation of all other Council meetings and two days of strike. 
Det faktum att det gick sammanlagt nio arbetsdagar d minst 100 fast anstllda tolkar hade implicit tjnstgringsberedskap visar hur vanligt det r att mten ndras eller stlls in med kort varsel p grund av srskilda omstndigheter, t.ex. de tv strejkdagarna eller Europeiska rdets extrainsatta mten (som ledde till att alla andra rdsmten stlldes in).
Contracts of AICs cannot be cancelled within 60 days of the start of the contract, but to limit costs, these contracts are converted to local contracts. Staff interpreters whose meetings are cancelled are put on stand-by. 
Kontrakten med extraanstllda tolkar kan inte hvas under de sista 60 dagarna innan de skall brja trda i kraft, men man strvar efter att omvandla dessa till lokala kontrakt fr att hlla kostnaderna s lga som mjligt.
Interpretation services cannot determine the pace of meetings nor the content of agendas. Delegates meet when they think it is appropriate and the interpretation services provide interpretation as requested. 54. (a) (b) (c) (d) The price system of DG Interpretation is based on a flat rate modulated to each type of request; meetings booked at short notice, late meetings, meetings held on weekends or public holidays costing more. 
Mtena hlls nr deltagarna bedmer att det r lmpligt, och det r tolktjnstens uppgift att tillhandahlla den tolkning som krvs. 54. a) Det pris som GD Tolkning faststller baseras p en fast avgiftssats som justeras beroende p den enskilda begran om tolkning: om mten bokats med kort varsel, varar till sent p kvllen eller hlls under veckoslut eller helgdagar kostar de till exempel mera. ven instllda mten faktureras.
The Commission incurs a deficit because the client institutions have historically paid less than the full price requested by DG Interpretation. The Commission is also aware of some shortcomings of the BMA (MAD, mise  disposition) system. For this reason it has prepared a new system for measuring the volume of interpretation provided and will soon be ready to introduce a new billing system based on sessions. 
Det br i detta sammanhang framhllas att det inte kan accepteras att man tar ut olika priser fr tolkning p olika sprk, eftersom detta motverkar frdragets princip att sprken har samma stllning. b) Kommissionen noterar som regel ett underskott, eftersom de institutioner som bestller tolkningen traditionellt har betalat mindre n det pris som formellt tas ut av GD Tolkning. Kommissionen r ocks medveten om bristerna i SGT-systemet (tolkning Ósom grs tillgngligÓ), och har drfr utarbetat ett nytt system som bttre skall mta den volym tolkning som tillhandahlls.
The two billing systems are being run in parallel in 2005 with the aim of applying session billing to the institutions in 2006. The price applied by DG Interpretation is suitable for interinstitutional billing but is not intended to express its full costs. The Service Level Agreement agreed with the institutional clients corresponds to the logistics and resources available for meetings but it does not prevent troughs because demand is determined by each institution in the light of their planning and political agenda, which to date the CommissionŐs interpretation services have no means of influencing. 
De tv faktureringssystemen anvnds parallellt under 2004, med mlet att helt infra fakturering per tolkningssession 2006. c) Det pris som GD Tolkning tillmpar fungerar fr fakturering mellan institutioner, men r inte avsett att terspegla den totala kostnaden. d) Det servicenivavtal som undertecknats med de institutioner som utnyttjar tolktjnsten bygger p de logistiska och andra resurser som r tillgngliga fr ett givet mte, men det rcker inte fr att helt frebygga obalanser, eftersom varje institutions efterfrgan beror p dess arbetsplanering och politiska dagordning Đ faktorer som kommissionens tolktjnst generellt inte har haft ngon mjlighet att pverka.
23.11.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 291/27 (e) Even though the introduction of the new billing system would make the billing exercise less labour intensive, DG Interpretation is aware that maximum efficiency in the management of interpretation resources can only be achieved by linking the computer systems between institutions and will continue working in this direction. 
23.11.2005 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 291/27 e) ven om ett nytt system fr faktureringen skulle gra dessa rutiner mindre arbetskraftsintensiva, r de ansvariga vid GD Tolkning medvetna om att ett riktigt effektivt frvaltningssystem fr tolkningsresurser bara r mjligt om man lnkar samman de berrda institutionernas datasystem.
For reasons of security and differences in the architecture of corporate systems, establishing IT links between institutions takes time. (c) The current organisation already allows for reduced travel costs on a case-by-case basis by taking advantage of the presence of non local AICs already contracted by the other institution for adjacent days. 
Detta beror svl p behovet av intrngsskydd som p strukturella olikheter mellan de system som skall kopplas samman. c) Det nuvarande systemet gr det redan mjligt att i enskilda fall minska resekostnaderna genom att man anlitar icke-lokala extraanstllda tolkar som redan r p plats drfr att de har tolkuppdrag vid ngon av de vriga institutionerna under ngon av de angrnsande dagarna.
Full IT communication between institutions on the availability and global management of freelance interpreters is expected to be operational in September 2005. (d) Joint management of freelances, including selection, accreditation, quality control and payment will be fully operational when on line communication of the IT systems of the different institutions will be opened up in September 2005, following the ongoing test phase. 
Frn och med september 2005 frvntas ett IT-system fr komplett informationsutbyte mellan institutionerna i frga om tillgngen till frilanstolkar och frvaltningen av dessa tolkars uppdrag. d) Den gemensamma frvaltningen av frilansresurser, inklusive rekrytering, ackreditering, kvalitetskontroll och betalningar kommer att kunna fungera fullt ut frn och med september 2005, d kommunikationslnkarna mellan institutionernas IT-system skall vara helt utbyggda (efter den pgende testperioden).
The Commission believes that deepening interinstitutional cooperation could bring economies of scale and savings without calling into question the autonomy of the institutions in matters of budget, staff and the capacity to adapt priorities to the political agenda. 
Kommissionen r generellt av uppfattningen att ett frdjupat samarbete mellan institutionerna kan medfra skalfrdelar och besparingar utan att detta behver skada de enskilda institutionernas oberoende i frga om budget eller personalpolitik eller deras mjlighet att anpassa sina prioriteringar till den politiska dagordningen.
To launch an evaluation of the advantages of a single interpretation service compared to improvements in interinstitutional cooperation it would be necessary to have a clear signal from the other institutions of their willingness to pursue such a course rather than continue with progress on interinstitutional cooperation. 
Fr att det skall lna sig att inleda en djupgende utvrdering av frdelarna med en helt gemensam tolktjnst (i frhllande till ett fortsatt frbttrat samarbete mellan de befintliga tolktjnsterna) krvs det att vriga institutioner ger en tydlig signal att de r beredda att vervga en sdan lsning.
Indeed, enormous efforts and significant resources have already led to merging the payment offices, to creating a common list of accredited freelances and holding joint competitions and accreditation tests. 
Mycket stora anstrngningar och betydande resurser har redan lagts ned p att sl samman betalningsfunktionerna, skapa en gemensam frteckning ver ackrediterade frilanstolkar och hlla gemensamma uttagningsprov och ackrediteringsprov.
These efforts should be consolidated and strengthened and the results analysed: detailed analysis of benefits and savings is necessary before a decision on further developments is taken. 
Dessa anstrngningar br fortstta och ven frstrkas, samtidigt som man br gra en ingende analys av kostnaderna och frdelarna innan man inleder ngon ny etapp.
Variations in the number of requests for interpretation makes the average ratio between staff interpreters and freelances hired for interpretation services varying from one year to another. 
Variationer i antalet frfrgningar om tolkning gr ocks att det genomsnittliga frhllandet mellan de fast anstllda tolkarna och de frilanstolkar som anlitas varierar frn r till r.
In the run-up to enlargement, for example, the number of staff interpreters on interpreting assignments was reduced because a certain number were already present in the accession States to help prepare for enlargement. 
Infr utvidgningen var till exempel andelen fast anstllda tolkar som arbetade med gngse tolkuppdrag mindre n normalt, eftersom en del av dessa tolkar befann sig i de anslutande staterna fr att hjlpa till med frberedelserna fr utvidgningen.
