With regard to high-value tenders (above the thresholds of Article 118(1) FR) the GSA is currently undertaking the necessary administrative steps to use the Ôe-SubmissionŐ module of the Ôe-PriorŐ information system developed by the European Commission (provided by DG DIGIT), in order to ensure that the electronic system which will be established for the submission of all tenders shall respect all the requirements set out in FR and RAP. 
Fr upphandlingar av stort vrde (ver trskelvrdet i artikel 118.1 i budgetfrordningen) vidtar vi fr nrvarande de ndvndiga administrativa stegen fr att anvnda informationssystemet e-Prior:s modul fr e-inlmning som utvecklats av Europeiska kommissionen (tillhandahlls av GD Informationsteknik) fr att se till att det elektroniska system som kommer att upprttas fr inlmning av alla anbud uppfyller samtliga krav som anges i budgetfrordningen och tillmpningsfreskrifterna.
It is noted that the Ôe-SubmissionŐ module currently supports only open procedures and, therefore, the GSA shall use it only for such procedures. 
Vi har noterat att modulen fr e-inlmning endast stder ppna upphandlingsfrfaranden och kommer drfr bara att anvnda den fr sdana frfaranden.
In this respect, the GSA has already held a first coordination meeting with DG DIGIT and is currently in the process of finalising and signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with DG DIGIT in order to set the framework of e-Submission and kick-off its implementation. 
Vi har redan haft vrt frsta samordningsmte med GD informationsteknik i detta syfte och hller fr nrvarande p att slutfra arbetet med att ta fram och underteckna ett samfrstndsavtal med GD Informationsteknik fr att faststlla ramen fr e-inlmning och starta genomfrandet.

EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY (EEA) INTRODUCTION 3.17.1. 
EUROPEISKA MILJ BYRN (EEA) INLEDNING 3.17.1.
The European Environment Agency (hereinafter Ôthe AgencyŐ, aka ÔEEAŐ), which is located in Copenhagen, was established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90 (143). 
Europeiska miljbyrn (EEA, nedan kallad byrn) ligger i Kpenhamn och inrttades genom rdets frordning (EEG) nr 1210/90(143).
The Agency is responsible for setting up an observation network to provide the Commission, the Parliament, the Member States and, more generally, the public with reliable information on the state of the environment. 
Byrn ansvarar fr att infra ett ntverk fr miljvervakning som ska frse kommissionen, Europaparlamentet, medlemsstaterna och, mer vergripande, allmnheten med tillfrlitlig information om miljsituationen.
This information should, in particular, enable the European Union and the Member States to take action to safeguard the environment and assess the effectiveness of such action. 
Informationen ska i synnerhet gra det mjligt fr EU och medlemsstaterna att vidta tgrder fr att skydda miljn och utvrdera hur effektiva dessa tgrder r.

REVISIONSRTTENS REVISIONSF RKLARING TILL EUROPAPARLAMENTET OCH RDET Đ OBEROENDE REVISORNS RAPPORT UTTALANDE 3.17.3.
We have audited: (a) the accounts of the Agency which comprise the financial statements (145) and the reports on the implementation of the budget (146) for the financial year ended 31 December 2017; and (b) the legality and regularity of the transactions underlying those accounts, as required by Article 287 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). 
Vi har granskat a) byrns rkenskaper, som bestr av rsredovisningen (145) och rapporterna om budgetgenomfrandet (146) fr det budgetr som slutade den 31 december 2017, b) lagligheten och korrektheten i de transaktioner som ligger till grund fr rkenskaperna, i enlighet med bestmmelserna i artikel 287 i frdraget om Europeiska unionens funktionsstt (EUF-frdraget).
Reliability of the accounts Opinion on the reliability of the accounts 3.17.4. In our opinion, the accounts of the Agency for the year ended 31 December 2017 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Agency at 31 December 2017, the results of its operations, its cash flows, and the changes in net assets for the year then ended, in accordance with its Financial Regulation and with accounting rules adopted by the CommissionŐs accounting officer. These are based on internationally accepted accounting standards for the public sector. 
Rkenskapernas tillfrlitlighet Uttalande om rkenskapernas tillfrlitlighet 3.17.4. Vi anser att byrns rkenskaper fr det r som slutade den 31 december 2017 i alla vsentliga avseenden ger en rttvisande bild av dess finansiella stllning per den 31 december 2017, det finansiella resultatet, kassafldena och frndringar i nettotillgngarna fr det budgetr som slutade detta datum i enlighet med dess budgetfrordning och de redovisningsregler som antagits av kommissionens rkenskapsfrare.

IAKTTAGELSER OM RKENSKAPERNAS TILLF RLITLIGHET 3.17.8.
In the course of this yearŐs audit of all EU agencies, the Court analyses the accounting environments, including the hierarchical position and independence of accounting officers. The superior of the AgencyŐs accounting officer is the Head of Administrative Services. We see a need to strengthen the accounting officerŐs independence by making her directly responsible to the AgencyŐs Director (administrative) and Management Board (functional). 
Inom ramen fr rets revision av EU:s alla byrer analyserar revisionsrtten redovisningsmiljerna, inbegripet rkenskapsfrarnas plats i hierarkin och oberoende. Byrns rkenskapsfrares verordnade r chef fr administrativa tjnster. Vi ser ett behov av att strka rkenskapsfrarens oberoende genom att han eller hon grs direkt ansvarig infr byrns direktr (administrativt) och styrelse (funktionellt).

IAKTTAGELSER OM SUND EKONOMISK F RVALTNING OCH RESULTAT 3.17.9.
The EEA was confronted with significant delays in the implementation of the 2016 action plan of one the European Topic Centres (ETC ICM, In land Coastal and Maritime Waters). 
Byrn stlldes infr betydande frseningar i genomfrandet av 2016 rs handlingsplan fr ett av de europeiska mnescentrumen (ETC/ICM Đ europeiska mnescentrumet fr inlands-, kust-och havsvatten).
As a result, the EEA rejected some deliverables, as well as part of the costs claimed by the ETC. 
Som ett resultat av det underknde byrn vissa resultat, liksom delar av de kostnader som mnescentrumet begrt ersttning fr.
The correction in the amount of the final payment also shows the further improvement of the financial and performance checks for grants to the ETCs. 
Korrigeringen av slutbetalningsbeloppet visar ocks p en ytterligare frbttring av de finansiella kontrollerna och resultatkontrollerna fr bidrag till de europeiska mnescentrumen.
Some weaknesses were identified in several public procurement procedures. 
Brister noterades i flera frfaranden fr offentlig upphandling.
The tender specifications used by the Agency for different calls for tenders did not specify any minimum requirements for the selection criteria with respect to economic and financial capacity. 
I de anbudsspecifikationer som byrn anvnt fr olika anbudsinfordringar angavs inga minikrav fr urvalskriterierna gllande ekonomisk och finansiell kapacitet.
As a result, these criteria cannot fulfil their objective of determining whether a bidder has the necessary capacity to implement the contract. 
Drfr kan dessa kriterier inte uppfylla sitt syfte att avgra om en anbudsgivare har den kapacitet som krvs fr att genomfra kontraktet.
The price competition for several high-value calls for tender was exclusively based on the daily rates offered for certain profiles, and not on the estimated time needed to complete the tasks. 
Priskonkurrensen fr flera upphandlingar till hgt vrde baserades uteslutande p dagsarvoden som offererats fr vissa profiler, utan uppgift om den tid som krvdes fr att fullgra uppgifterna.
Framework contracts were signed with one tenderer only whereas a reopening of competition between different tenderers would lead to better results for the specific contracts. 
Ramavtal tecknades med endast en anbudsgivare. En frnyad konkurrensutsttning mellan olika anbudsgivare skulle ha gett bttre resultat fr de specifika kontrakten.
According to their Framework Financial Regulation, agencies should introduce a single solution for the electronic exchange and storage of information with third parties participating in public procurement procedures (e-procurement)(147),(148). As the same requirement exists for all EU Institutions, the Commission is developing a comprehensive IT solution covering all phases of public procurement procedures. 
Enligt rambudgetfrordningen fr EU:s byrer ska dessa infra en gemensam lsning fr elektronisk lagring och utbyte av information med tredjeparter som deltar i frfaranden fr offentlig upphandling (e-upphandling) (147) (148). Eftersom samma krav gller fr alla EU:s institutioner utvecklar kommissionen en vergripande it-lsning som omfattar alla faser av frfarandena fr offentlig upphandling.
By the end of 2017 the Agency had introduced e-invoicing and e-tendering for certain procedures, but not e-submission. 
I slutet av 2017 hade byrn infrt e-fakturering och e-upphandling fr vissa frfaranden, men inte e-inlmning.
Several weaknesses were noted in the recruitment procedures organised by the Agency. 
Flera brister noterades i de rekryteringsfrfaranden som anordnats av byrn.
In particular, the minutes of the selection committee did not provide sufficiently detailed justifications for the choices made. 
Framfr allt innehll inte protokollen frn urvalskommittn tillrckligt detaljerade motiveringar till de val som gjorts.
There is a need to better define the criteria used at each stage of the selection procedure and the role of each member of the selection committee, in order to strengthen transparency and equal treatment of candidates. 
Det finns ett behov av att bttre definiera de kriterier som anvnds i varje steg av urvalsfrfarandet liksom rollfrdelningen mellan medlemmarna i urvalskommittn, fr att ka ppenheten och likabehandlingen av skande.

The Agency publishes vacancy notices on its own website and in social media, but not on the website of the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO), which would increase transparency, publicity and allow citizens to identify vacancies published by the different European Institutions and agencies collectively. The main reason provided by the agency is high translation cost for EPSO publications since this requires translations in all EU official languages. 
Byrn offentliggr meddelanden om lediga tjnster p sin egen webbplats och i sociala medier, men inte p Europeiska rekryteringsbyrns (Epso) webbplats, vilket skulle ge kad insyn och publicitet och gra det mjligt fr mnniskor att hitta information om lediga tjnster vid EU:s olika institutioner och organ p ett och samma stlle. Huvudsklet som byrerna angav var hga versttningskostnader fr offentliggrande via Epso, eftersom detta krver versttning till alla EU:s officiella sprk.
OBSERVATIONS ON BUDGETARY MANAGEMENT 3.17.15. 
IAKTTAGELSER OM BUDGETF RVALTNINGEN 3.17.15.
In order to implement the Copernicus delegation agreement with the Commission, the Agency entered into several Copernicus-related legal commitments before having received the pre-financing from the Commission. 
Fr att genomfra delegeringsverenskommelsen om Copernicus med kommissionen ingick byrn flera Copernicus-relaterade rttsliga taganden innan den hade mottagit frfinansieringen frn kommissionen.
Although these commitments were covered by an exception report signed by the Agency Director, such procedure is at odds with the Rules of Application of the Financial Regulation. 
Dessa taganden omfattades visserligen av en avvikelserapport som undertecknades av byrns direktr, men ett sdant frfarande verensstmmer inte med tillmpningsfreskrifterna fr budgetfrordningen.
FOLLOW-UP OF PREVIOUS YEARSŐ OBSERVATIONS 3.17.16. An overview of the corrective action taken in response to the Court's observations from previous years is provided in the Annex. 
UPPF LJNING AV TIDIGARE RS IAKTTAGELSER 3.17.16. En versikt ver de korrigerande tgrder som har vidtagits som en reaktion p revisionsrttens iakttagelser frn tidigare r finns i bilagan.
C 434/106 Official Journal of the European Union 30.11.2018 EN ANNEX Follow-up of previous yearsŐ observations Court's observations The Agency updated its Security Policy in 2016 but many other internal procedures are outdated. 
C 434/106 Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 30.11.2018 SV BILAGA Uppfljning av tidigare rs iakttagelser Revisionsrttens iakttagelser Byrn uppdaterade sin skerhetspolicy under 2016 men mnga andra interna frfaranden r frldrade.
The senior management approved an action plan which includes the review and update of the business continuity plan. 
Hgsta ledningen har godknt en tgrdsplan som innefattar en versyn och uppdatering av kontinuitetsplanen.
The Agency also intends to review its document management policy which it adopted in 2009 in line with the new Security Policy. 
Byrn har ocks fr avsikt att se ver sin dokumenthanteringspolicy frn 2009 i linje med den nya skerhetspolicyn.
Similarly, the Agency envisages to review and update its internal control standards, where necessary. The CommissionŐs Internal Audit Service (IAS) carried out a performance audit on the 2015 State of the Environment Report (SOER) preparation processes. In its audit report of July 2016, the IAS concluded that the SOER processes were generally fit for purpose. 
P liknande stt planerar byrn att se ver och uppdatera sina normer fr internkontroll, dr s krvs. Kommissionens tjnst fr internrevision genomfrde en effektivitetsrevision av byrns frfaranden fr att ta fram rapporten om miljsituationen 2015. I sin granskningsrapport frn juli 2016 drog tjnsten fr internrevision slutsatsen att frfarandena fr att ta fram rapporten om miljsituationen i stort var lmpliga fr sitt syfte.
The Agency and the IAS however agreed on a plan to further improve them. In 2014 the Commission, on behalf of more than 50 EU Institutions and bodies (including the Agency) signed a framework contract (FWC) with one contractor for the acquisition of software, licences and the provision of related IT maintenance and consultancy. The framework contractor acts as an intermediary between the Agency and suppliers that can address the AgencyŐs needs. 
Byrn och tjnsten fr internrevision har dock enats om en plan fr att frbttra dem ytterligare. r 2014 undertecknade kommissionen, som fretrdare fr ver 50 av EU:s institutioner och organ (dribland byrn), ett ramavtal med en entreprenr fr inkp av programvara och licenser samt tillhandahllande av it-underhll och rdgivning. Kontraktsparten fungerar enligt ramavtalet som en mellanhand mellan byrn och leverantrer som kan tillgodose byrns behov.
For these intermediary services the framework contractor is entitled to uplifts of two to nine percent of the suppliersŐ prices. The FWC explicitly stipulates that it does not confer any exclusive right to the contractor. 
Fr dessa mellanhandstjnster har entreprenren enligt ramavtalet rtt att ta ut ett pslag p 2Đ9 % av leverantrens priser. I ramavtalet anges explicit att det inte ger entreprenren ngra exklusiva rttigheter.
In 2016 the Agency used this FWC to purchase software licences for a total of 442 754 euros. 
Under 2016 anvnde byrn detta ramavtal fr inkp av programvarulicenser fr totalt 442754 euro.
Most of these purchases were for products belonging to a particular category that should only be used on an exceptional basis, for which prices were neither quoted during the tender process nor in the FWC. 
De flesta av dessa inkp rrde produkter som tillhrde en viss kategori som endast skulle anvndas p exceptionella grunder, fr vilka inga priser offererats vare sig under upphandlingsfrfarandet eller i ramavtalet.
This procedure does not ensure sufficient competition and the application of the most economical solution. 
Detta frfarande garanterar inte tillrcklig konkurrens eller att de mest ekonomiska lsningarna vljs.
Moreover the uplifts charged by the framework contractor were not adequately checked. 
Dessutom kontrollerades inte de pslag som entreprenren tog ut p lmpligt stt.
The largest order concerned the renewal of software licences provided by an exclusive Scandinavian reseller (112 248 euros). 
Den strsta ordern gllde frnyelse av programvarulicenser frn en exklusiv skandinavisk terfrsljare (112 248 euro).

COMMENTS ON SOUND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND ON PERFORMANCE 3.17.9. 
KOMMENTARER OM SUND EKONOMISK F RVALTNING OCH RESULTAT 3.17.9.
The Agency appreciates the acknowledgement that its management of ETCs has further improved, both in terms of financial and operational verification. 
Byrn uppskattar konstaterandet att dess frvaltning av de europeiska mnescentrumen har frbttrats ytterligare, bde nr det gller finansiell och operativ kontroll.
The Agency strives to maintain and improve the current level of checks of ETC grants. 
Byrn strvar efter att upprtthlla och frbttra de nuvarande niverna fr kontroller av bidrag till de europeiska mnescentrumen.
The Agency confirms that it has modified the requirements associated with the verification of the financial capacity of tenders in the course of 2017, which now consists of requesting tenderers to provide information on financial ratios (liquidity, solvency and profitability) and in setting a requirement of a minimum turnover equivalent to at least two times the estimated annual contract value, in accordance with the provisions in Article 147(1)(a) of the RAP. 
Byrn bekrftar att man under 2017 ndrade kraven fr kontrollen av den finansiella kapaciteten hos anbudsgivare, som nu uppmanas att tillhandahlla information om finansiella nyckeltal (likviditet, solvens och lnsamhet) och ska ha en minsta omsttning som motsvarar minst tv gnger kontraktets uppskattade rliga vrde, i enlighet med bestmmelserna i artikel 147.1 a i tillmpningsfreskrifterna.
The Agency reiterates that the choice of awarding framework contracts to single contractors is deliberate and with due consideration to the limited competition prevailing on the relevant markets as well as the nature and the complexity of the services to be procured. 
Byrn ppekar terigen att valet att tilldela enskilda entreprenrer ramavtal r avsiktligt och sker med hnsyn till den begrnsade konkurrens som rder p de berrda marknaderna samt de upphandlade tjnsternas slag och komplexitet.
When placing specific contracts under the framework contracts, the Agency considers not only the contractually agreed daily rates, but also the estimated number of days required to perform the tasks in order to calculate the estimated budget for a particular specific contract. 
Nr specifika kontrakt lggs ut inom ramen fr ramavtalen beaktar byrn inte enbart de avtalade dagarvodena, utan ven det uppskattade antal dagar som krvs fr att utfra uppgifterna fr att ta fram den berknade budgeten fr ett specifikt kontrakt.
Only then are negotiations with the contractor on the details of its offer initiated, always with a view to achieve best value for money. 
Frst efter detta inleds frhandlingarna med entreprenren om detaljerna i anbudet, alltid med avsikten att f bst valuta fr pengarna.
With a reopening of competition, the Agency will have no leverage to negotiate further the offers with the contractors. 
Vid en frnyad inbjudan att lmna anbud kommer byrn inte att ha ngon makt att frhandla vidare om anbudet med entreprenrerna.
