Since these systems are not interconnected, NGOs have to make a separate registration with each DG with which it interacts. 
Eftersom de hr systemen inte r sammankopplade mste icke-statliga organisationer registrera sig vid varje generaldirektorat som de interagerar med.
The Commission is currently developing a project, the Single Electronic Data Interchange Area (SEDIA), which should provide applicants, candidates and tenderers with a single entry point to communicate with Commission departments. 
Kommissionen arbetar fr nrvarande med ett projekt som handlar om att skapa ett gemensamt omrde fr utbyte av elektroniska uppgifter (Sedia), som ska ge skande, kandidater och anbudsgivare en gemensam kontaktpunkt fr kommunikation med kommissionens avdelningar.
It will be used for both procurement and grant procedures. 
Det kommer att anvndas fr bde upphandlings-och bidragsfrfaranden.
The Commission makes only limited checks that entities are correctly registered as NGOs 24. 
Kommissionen gr endast begrnsade kontroller av att enheter r korrekt registrerade som icke-statliga organisationer 24.
When a registered funding applicant enters into a contract with the Commission for the first time, the information it declares is based on self-declaration. 
Nr en registrerad bidragsskande ingr ett kontrakt med kommissionen fr frsta gngen bygger informationen som den skande anger p en egen frskran.
The Commission checks the information the applicant provided in the different registration systems and creates a legal entity fiche in ABAC. 
Kommissionen kontrollerar den information som den skande lmnat i de olika registreringssystemen och skapar en post som rttslig enhet i ABAC.
In ABAC legal entities can be “labelled” as NGOs. 
Rttsliga enheter kan ÓbetecknasÓ som icke-statlig organisation i ABAC.
To be categorised as such, an organisation has to declare itself that it is an NGO when registering in one of the systems. 
Fr att en organisation ska klassificeras som icke-statlig mste den sjlv deklarera att den r det nr den registrerar sig i ett av systemen.
A prerequisite for being labelled an NGO is that the legal entity should be categorised as a private and not-for-profit organisation. 
En frutsttning fr att kunna betecknas som icke-statlig organisation r att den rttsliga enheten kan kategoriseras som en privat och ideell organisation.
Aside from this, they carry out no additional verification on the organisation’s qualification as an NGO unless DGs make it a criterion for participating in a call for proposals13. 
Frutom detta gr de ingen ytterligare kontroll av organisationens kvalificering som en icke-statlig organisation om inte generaldirektorat gr det till ett kriterium fr att f delta i en inbjudan att lmna frslag13.
The fact that the NGO status is not verified renders the Commission’s information on the funding provided to NGOs unreliable. 
Det faktum att statusen som icke-statlig organisation inte kontrolleras gr att kommissionens information om finansieringen till icke-statliga organisationer blir otillfrlitlig.
For instance, in the case of MFF 1.1 – Competitiveness for growth and jobs, the largest beneficiaries labelled as NGOs in ABAC are mainly research institutes and universities, including one cooperative society. 
Nr det gller rubrik 1.1 i den flerriga budgetramen Đ Konkurrenskraft fr tillvxt och sysselsttning, till exempel, r de strsta mottagarna i ABAC som betecknats som icke-statliga organisationer frmst forskningsinstitut och universitet, dribland en kooperativ frening.
These types of entities cannot always be considered as NGOs. While the terms NGOs and CSOs (civil society organisations) are often used interchangeably, NGOs are a subset of CSOs, with the latter covering a wider group of organisations such as research institutes or cooperatives14. 
Sdana typer av enheter kan inte alltid anses vara icke-statliga organisationer. ven om termerna icke-statliga organisationer och det civila samhllets organisationer ofta anvnds synonymt r icke-statliga organisationer en undergrupp till civilsamhllesorganisationer, som omfattar en bredare grupp organisationer, ssom forskningsinstitut eller kooperativ14.
Furthermore, as the NGO field is not mandatory in ABAC, the Commission does not identify consistently all NGOs as such across its information systems. 
Eftersom det inte r obligatoriskt att fylla i fltet fr icke-statlig organisation i ABAC identifierar kommissionen inte konsekvent alla icke-statliga organisationer som sdana i alla sina informationssystem.
For instance, in two of our audited projects15 two participating NGOs, although registered as NGOs in the applicants’ registration system (PADOR), were not labelled as such in ABAC. 
Till exempel var tv deltagande icke-statliga organisationer i tv av vra granskade projekt15 registrerade som sdana i den skandes registreringssystem (Pador), men inte i ABAC.
The evaluation committees verify that the legal documents correspond to the type of entity. COM(2012) 492 final of 12.9.2012, “The roots of democracy and sustainable development: Europe’s engagement with Civil Society in external relations” classifies as CSOs, among others, NGOs, community-based organisations, faith-based organisations, foundations, research institutions, cooperatives, professional and business associations. 
Vi bedmde insynen i urvalsprocesser genom att kontrollera om de vidtagna tgrderna och faststllda Enligt KOM(2012) 492 slutlig, 12.9.2012, En grund fr demokrati och hllbar utveckling: EU:s samarbete med det civila samhllet p omrdet yttre frbindelser kan bland annat icke-statliga organisationer, lokalt baserade organisationer, religisa organisationer, stiftelser, forskningsinstitut, kooperativ och yrkes-och branschorganisationer klassificeras som civilsamhllesorganisationer.

We assessed the transparency of selection processes by checking whether the activities undertaken and objectives set were in line with strategies, and whether selection procedures were reliable, well documented, and based on clear selection criteria, with an appropriate use of previous experience of NGOs. 
17 14 15 mlen verensstmde med strategier, om urvalsfrfarandena var tillfrlitliga, vldokumenterade och byggde p tydliga urvalskriterier och om icke-statliga organisationers tidigare erfarenheter utnyttjades p lmpligt stt.
The summary of the assessment can be found in Annex III. 
Sammanfattningen av bedmningen finns i bilaga III.
They complied with the requirements of the Financial Regulation and the Commission strategies, and they overall used clear selection criteria and communicated them to all interested parties and ensured the equal treatment of applicants. 
Inbjudningarna uppfyllde kraven i budgetfrordningen och kommissionens strategier, och de anvnde generellt tydliga urvalskriterier som meddelades alla berrda parter och skerstllde att skande behandlades lika.
We found some transparency shortcomings in DG ECHO’s examined selection processes carried out in 2014, 2015 and 2016. 
Vi fann ngra brister i insynen i GD Echos granskade urvalsprocesser som genomfrts under 2014, 2015 och 2016.
The issues, relating to the documentation of the selection process, had already been identified in a previous ECA audit17. 
Problemen, som gllde dokumentationen av urvalsfrfarandet, hade redan identifierats vid en tidigare revision gjord av revisionsrtten17.
As a result, DG ECHO took corrective measures, which resulted in an action plan and a new summary assessment template for 2017, which was further revised for 2018, to better show a specific assessment for each selection criterion. 
GD Echo vidtog drfr korrigerande tgrder som resulterade i en handlingsplan och en ny sammanfattande bedmningsmall fr 2017, som terigen ndrades fr 2018 fr att bttre visa en srskild bedmning fr varje urvalskriterium.
Applicant operational capacity is one of the criteria which DG DEVCO and DG NEAR apply in their selection procedures. 
De skandes operativa frmga r ett av de kriterier som GD Internationellt samarbete och utveckling och GD Grannskapspolitik och utvidgningsfrhandlingar anvnder i sina urvalsfrfaranden.
The evaluation committees assess this capacity on the basis of the prior experience declared by applicants, but rarely requested evidence to this effect. 
Utvrderingskommitterna bedmer frmgan utifrn den tidigare erfarenhet som de skande redovisar men begrde sllan bevis som bekrftade erfarenheten.
DG ECHO also considers previous experience to be a relevant assessment criterion. 
GD Echo anser ocks att tidigare erfarenhet r ett relevant bedmningskriterium.
The Commission does not always verify the correctness of declarations of previous experience because its management information systems do not hold all the relevant information on funding received and activities carried out by NGOs. 
Kommissionen kontrollerar inte alltid att redovisningarna av tidigare erfarenhet r korrekta eftersom dess system fr frvaltningsinformation inte innehller all relevant information om de anslag som icke-statliga organisationer har erhllit och de tgrder som Projekt 4 tilldelades direkt utan anskningsomgng.
We found that the Commission had accepted inconsistences and wrongful declarations of prior experience when selecting two of the projects audited18. 
Vi fann att kommissionen hade accepterat inkonsekvenser och felaktiga redovisningar av tidigare erfarenhet nr tv av de granskade projekten valdes ut18.
Sub-granting of funds to third-party NGOs sometimes lacked transparency 34. 
Ibland saknades insyn nr icke-statliga organisationer som tredje part tilldelades bidrag i flera led 34.
We examined how transparently NGOs were selected when the selection was not made directly by the Commission. 
Vi underskte hur stor insynen var nr valet av icke-statliga organisationer inte gjordes direkt av kommissionen.
In addition, we assessed whether their selection of NGOs ensured equal treatment of applicants, whether they had used previous experience to improve selection and assessed the NGOs as having sufficient capacity to perform the funded action. 
Dessutom bedmde vi om deras val av icke-statliga organisationer skerstllde att de skande behandlades lika, om de hade anvnt tidigare erfarenheter fr att frbttra urvalet och om de bedmde att de icke-statliga organisationerna hade tillrcklig frmga att utfra den finansierade tgrden.
The different Commission departments do not apply the sub-granting procedures in the same way 35. 
Kommissionens olika avdelningar tillmpar inte frfarandena fr bidrag i flera led p samma stt 35.
Under direct management, when the Commission sets up grant agreements and decisions with contractors, including NGOs, there is a legal relationship between the two parties. 
Nr kommissionen vid direkt frvaltning upprttar bidragsverenskommelser och bidragsbeslut med kontraktsparter, bland annat icke-statliga organisationer, har de tv parterna ett rttsligt frhllande.
In some cases, however, EU funds are sub-granted to third parties. 
I ngra fall ges emellertid EU-medel i flera led till tredje part.
Such sub-granting is subject to specific and transparent conditions19, for example that there is an upper limit of €60 000 that can be paid to a third party except where the financial support is the primary aim of the action20. 
Sdana bidrag i flera led ska uppfylla specifika och transparenta villkor19, till exempel finns det en vre grns p 60 000 euro som kan betalas till en tredje part, frutom d det ekonomiska stdet r huvudmlet fr tgrden20.

Established in Articles 137 of the Financial Regulation and 210 of the Rules of Application. 
Anges i artikel 137 i budgetfrordningen och artikel 210 i tillmpningsfreskrifterna.
It should be noted that the Financial Regulation of 2018 changes the wording of these rules and states in Article 204: “the maximum amount of financial support that can be paid to a third party shall not exceed €60 000 [...]. 
Det br noteras att dessa regler har omformulerats i budgetfrordningen frn 2018, och i artikel 204 anges nu fljande: ÓDet hgsta beloppet i ekonomiskt std som fr utbetalas till en tredje part [...] fr [inte] verstiga 60 000 euro [...].
This threshold may be exceeded where achieving the objectives of the actions would otherwise be impossible or overly difficult.” 17 18 19 20

While most of the Commission departments audited21 apply the general rules from the Financial Regulation and the guidelines on grants issued by DG BUDG consistently, DG ECHO uses a different interpretation. 
De flesta av kommissionens avdelningar som granskades21 tillmpar konsekvent de allmnna reglerna i budgetfrordningen och de riktlinjer fr std som GD Budget har utfrdat, utom GD Echo som anvnder en annan tolkning.
Citing the need to reflect the specific needs and features of humanitarian aid, DG ECHO considers that all actions granted to implementing partners pursue the primary aim of granting financial support to third parties. 
Generaldirektoratet hnvisar till behovet av att terspegla de specifika behoven och frhllandena vid humanitrt bistnd och anser att alla tgrder som finansieras genom bidrag till genomfrandepartner har som huvudsakligt ml att bevilja ekonomiskt std till tredje part.
This means that in practice they do not apply the upper limit of €60 000 because all sub-grants are considered to fall under the above-cited exception. 
Det innebr att de i praktiken inte tillmpar den vre grnsen p 60 000 euro eftersom alla bidrag i flera led anses tillhra det ovan nmnda undantaget.
The effect of this interpretation is to allow for sub-granting with no limitation on the contractual amount or on the number of additional implementation layers. 
Effekten av den hr tolkningen r att bidrag i flera led tillts utan en grns fr kontraktsbeloppet eller antalet ytterligare genomfrandeniver.
The absence of such limitations at DG ECHO affects the transparency of sub-granting. 
Det faktum att GD Echo inte tillmpar ngra sdana begrnsningar pverkar insynen i bidrag i flera led.
The selection procedures of NGOs by UN bodies were not always transparent 38. 
FN-organens frfaranden fr urval av icke-statliga organisationer var inte alltid transparenta 38.
Under indirect management, a UN body which applies for EU funds has to demonstrate a capacity for financial management and protecting EU financial interests equivalent to that of the Commission. 
Vid indirekt frvaltning mste ett FN-organ som ansker om EU-medel visa att dess frmga nr det gller ekonomisk frvaltning och skydd av EU:s ekonomiska intressen motsvarar kommissionens.
If it does, it may select its implementing partners (sub-granting) according to its own rules and procedures22. 
Om s r fallet fr organet vlja sina genomfrandepartner (vid bidrag i flera led) i enlighet med sina egna regler och frfaranden22.
We found that in half of the projects under indirect management, which we selected for audit (see Annex II), the UN bodies’ procedures for selecting NGOs lacked transparency. This was despite of the fact that the Commission had given them a positive assessment. 
Vi konstaterade att det i hlften av de projekt med indirekt frvaltning som vi valde ut fr granskning (se bilaga II) saknades insyn i FN-organens frfaranden fr att vlja icke-statliga organisationer, trots att kommissionen hade gett dem en positiv bedmning.
Article 60(2)(d) of the Financial Regulation states that the entrusted entities shall “apply appropriate rules and procedures for providing financing from Union funds through grants, procurements and financial instruments”. 
I artikel 60.2 d i budgetfrordningen anges att de enheter som anfrtros frvaltningsuppgifter ska Ótillmpa lmpliga regler och frfaranden fr finansiering genom unionens medel i form av bidrag, upphandling eller finansieringsinstrumentÓ.
This is verified in an ex ante assessment (“pillar assessment”), carried out by an independent auditor in accordance with the terms of reference prepared by each DG. 
Detta kontrolleras vid en frhandsbedmning (s kallad pelarbedmning) som grs av en oberoende revisor i enlighet med de direktiv som varje generaldirektorat utarbetar. 20 21 22
The Commission does not always collect and check the information on EU funds implemented by NGOs appropriately 40. 
Kommissionen samlar inte alltid in och kontrollerar informationen om EU-medel som frvaltas av icke-statliga organisationer p lmpligt stt 40.
We assessed whether the Commission knew how EU funds implemented by NGOs were used and whether this information was collected and checked appropriately. 
Vi bedmde om kommissionen visste hur EU-medel som frvaltades av icke-statliga organisationer anvndes och om denna information samlades in och kontrollerades p lmpligt stt.
In order to ascertain this, we examined whether the Commission had comprehensive information on all the NGOs funded, including activities carried out and funds received, and whether appropriate systems were in place to collect it. 
Fr att faststlla detta underskte vi om kommissionen hade heltckande information om alla icke-statliga organisationer som tilldelats medel, och ven om utfrda tgrder och erhllna anslag, och om det fanns lmpliga system fr att samla in informationen.
We also looked at whether this information allowed the Commission to check the costs declared. 
Vi tittade ven p om denna information gjorde att kommissionen kunde kontrollera de deklarerade kostnaderna.
Commission systems do not always record information on funds received by all the beneficiaries of a contract 41. 
Kommissionens system registrerar inte alltid information om de anslag som varje stdmottagare i ett kontrakt erhller 41.
We found that Commission departments we audited managed grants using different systems which made varying amounts of information available on the funding provided to beneficiaries (see four examples in Box 5). 
Vi konstaterade att de kommissionsavdelningar som vi granskade frvaltade bidrag med hjlp av olika system som tillgngliggjorde varierande mngder information om anslagen till stdmottagare (se fyra exempel i ruta 5).
Box 5 – Information collected in the different Commission’s systems The grant management system used at DG RTD, allows for the collection and processing of information on the funding received by each participant. 
22 Ruta 5 Đ Information som samlas in i kommissionens olika system Det bidragsfrvaltningssystem som anvnds av GD Forskning och innovation gr det mjligt att samla in och behandla information om de anslag som varje deltagare erhllit.
Therefore, the information collected in the different Commission systems is not uniform and does not always allow the recording of funds received by all contract beneficiaries. 
Fljaktligen r den information som samlas in i kommissionens olika system inte enhetlig, och det r inte alltid mjligt att redovisa de anslag som varje stdmottagare inom ett kontrakt har erhllit.
In external action, the Commission does not have comprehensive information on all NGOs supported 43. 
P omrdet yttre tgrder har kommissionen inte heltckande information om alla icke-statliga organisationer som fr std 43.
Both in the direct and indirect mode of management, we found several projects within our sample where the Commission had incorrect information on the different actors implementing the funded action. 
Bde vid direkt och indirekt frvaltning fann vi flera projekt i vrt urval dr kommissionen hade felaktig information om de olika aktrerna som genomfrde den finansierade tgrden.
This was the case mainly with networks of international NGOs, where the Commission systems held information on the structure of the implementing entities that did not reflect the actual set-up. 
Detta gllde frmst ntverk av internationella icke-statliga organisationer dr kommissionens system innehll information om strukturen p de genomfrande enheterna som inte terspeglade hur det verkligen sg ut.
For four projects of the 14 projects we examined in the direct management mode25, we found that the NGOs signing the grant agreements had sub-granted project implementation Operating grants to environmental and climate NGOs are always single-beneficiary. 
Nr det gllde fyra av de 14 projekt med direkt frvaltning som vi granskade25 fann vi att de icke-statliga organisationer som hade undertecknat bidragsverenskommelserna hade delegerat projektgenomfrandet i flera led till andra enheter i samma ntverk utan att denna information hade registrerats i kommissionens system (se figur 3).

We also found three cases out of these 14 projects26 where the identification of the partners in the Commission systems was confusing or referred to different legal entities within the same network of international NGOs. 
Bland dessa 14 projekt26 hittade vi ven tre fall dr identifieringen av partnerna i kommissionens system var oklar eller gllde olika rttsliga enheter inom samma ntverk av internationella icke-statliga organisationer.
Therefore, the information available on which entities implemented the action and which ones received funding was not clear. 
Den tillgngliga informationen om vilka enheter som genomfrde tgrderna och vilka enheter som erhll anslag var drfr inte tydlig.
Furthermore, in five of the six projects we examined in the indirect management mode27, the information that the Commission received from the UN bodies did not allow us to establish what funding was received or which activities were performed by each of the sub-grantee NGOs (see Annex III). 
I fem av de sex projekt med indirekt frvaltning som vi granskade27 gjorde inte den information som kommissionen fick frn FN-organen det mjligt fr oss att faststlla vilka anslag som erhllits eller vilka tgrder som utfrts av varje icke-statlig organisation som fick bidrag i flera led (se bilaga III).
In two of these five projects, the Commission had requested additional information and clarification from the UN bodies, yet the answers it received were either unsatisfactory or only sent, following repeated requests, once the project’s activities were already complete28. 
Fr tv av dessa fem projekt hade kommissionen begrt att f ytterligare information och frtydliganden frn FN-organen. Men svaren var antingen otillfredsstllande eller s lmnades de inte frrn efter flera psttningar nr projektverksamheten redan var avslutad28.
In indirect management, the lack of information available hindered the Commission’s checks on the costs declared 48. 
Vid indirekt frvaltning utgjorde bristen p tillgnglig information ett hinder fr kommissionens kontroll av de deklarerade kostnaderna 48.
