C 181/10 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 28.6.2000 appropriation, in particular on account of the frequent inadequacy of controls on entertainment expenses and the general absence of an inventory of office furnishings and equipment financed from the groupsŐ funds and installed, in part, in the national delegations or in the MEPsŐ constituency offices. 
C 181/10 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 28.6.2000 p grund av bristflliga kontroller av representationskostnader och att det ofta saknas inventarielistor fr mbler och kontorsutrustning som finansierats av gruppernas medel och som delvis installerats vid nationella delegationer eller vid ledamternas kontor i medlemsstaterna.
Staff management 55. 
Personalfrvaltning 55.
The Parliament places approximately 530 temporary staff at the disposal of the groups, whose salaries and associated costs are financed directly from the appropriations under Title 1 of its budget. 
Parlamentet stller omkring 530 tillflligt anstllda till gruppernas frfogande. Ersttningar och vriga kostnader fr dessa finansieras direkt genom anslagen i avdelning 1 i parlamentets budget.
Using the appropriations that are the subject of this report, the groups may take on extra staff according to their individual requirements. 
Med hjlp av de anslag som denna rapport gller kan grupperna, allt efter sina egna behov anstlla extra personal.
It is difficult to say how many of these supplementary staff there are exactly, but they can be estimated at a total of sixty persons (26), plus a certain number of persons recruited on an occasional basis, to which it is difficult to put a figure. 
Det r svrt att exakt ange vilket antal denna extra personal uppgr till, men den kan uppskattas till ett sextiotal personer totalt (26). Det tillkommer ett visst antal personer som rekryterats p tillfllig bas och vars antal r svrt att uppge i siffror.
For the majority of the groups, the management of the staff paid directly by the groups shows a lack of transparency and reveals anomalies similar to those the Court uncovered in connection with expenditure resulting from the recruitment and employment of parliamentary assistants (27). 
I en majoritet av grupperna visar frvaltningen av den personal som avlnas direkt av grupperna samma brist p insyn och liknande anomalier som dem som revisionsrtten har avsljat i samband med de utgifter som var resultatet av anstllandet och anvndandet av assistenter till ledamterna (27).
These various arrangements do not necessarily reflect a difference in the actual nature of the relationship, as the staff are generally placed in the position of an employee of the group. 
De olika typerna av kontrakt motsvarar inte ndvndigtvis en verklig skillnad i frga om stllning, de berrda personerna r i allmnhet de facto understllda gruppen i ett anstllningsfrhllande.
The groups are not obliged to submit the contracts to the Parliament and the latter therefore does not carry out any controls, even though these contracts are deemed to have been concluded on the basis of a mandate from the Parliament and the latter can therefore be held responsible (28). 
Grupperna r inte skyldiga att framlgga kontrakten fr parlamentets enheter, och dessa utvar allts ingen kontroll fastn dessa handlingar anses ha uppstllts p grundval av ett mandat frn parlamentet som allts kan komma att hllas ansvarigt fr dem (28).
Some of the staff employed by the groups are posted in the Member States to the national delegations. 
En del av de anstllda som avlnas av grupperna r placerade vid de nationella delegationerna i medlemsstaterna.
The Court discovered, in respect of all the groups, that staff, or bodies, paid by the groups (within the framework of employment contracts or contracts for the supply of services) were receiving, at the same time, parliamentary assistantsŐ pay, which was paid into the MEPŐs secretarial allowance. 
Revisionsrtten har kunnat konstatera att, i alla grupper, personer eller organ som avlnas av grupperna (inom ramen fr arbetskontrakt eller avtal om tjnster) samtidigt uppbar en ersttning som assistent som utbetalades frn ledamternas sekretariatsersttning.
This contravenes the rules, which stipulate, as the Court underlined in its Special Report on MEPŐs expenses and allowances (29), that the two roles are incompatible. 
Detta r i strid mot bestmmelserna som, vilket revisionsrtten har understrukit i sin srskilda rapport om ledamternas kostnader och ersttningar (29), gr en strikt tskillnad mellan dessa bda funktioner.
There is no evidence that these staff and bodies actually performed services for the benefit of the groups. 
Det r inte faststllt att dessa personer och organ verkligen utfrt tjnster fr grupperna.
In fact, a part of the groupsŐ resources is therefore being used in this manner to supplement the MEPsŐ allowances. 
En del av gruppernas medel anvnds p detta stt som komplement till ledamternas ersttning.
There is also a risk that other staff paid by the groups, posted to the national delegations, are not in fact acting as assistants to the MEPs. 
Det finns ocks en risk fr att andra anstllda som avlnas av grupperna och som placerats vid de nationella delegationerna arbetar som assistenter t ledamterna.
One group granted supplementary remuneration to its staff, who were mostly temporary staff already in the ParliamentŐs pay, in the form of special and end-of-year bonuses. No written rules had been drawn up in respect of the criteria for, and scales of, these payments and considerable disparities were noted between the amounts paid to the various persons concerned in the absence of any pay slip. 
En grupp har utbetalat extra ersttningar och nyrsgvor till sina anstllda av vilka de flesta r tillflligt anstllda som redan avlnas av parlamentet. Kriterier och skalor fr ersttningar var inte freml fr skrivna regler och viktiga skillnader har observerats i de belopp som utbetalats till olika anstllda utan varje form av lneavi.
Another group has set up a fund which is financed in part by ÔvoluntaryŐ payments of part of their salaries by temporary members of staff who are also being paid by the Parliament. 
En annan grupp har instiftat en fond som delvis fylls p genom att tillflligt anstllda som betalas av parlamentet ger ett ÓfrivilligtÓ bidrag av en del av lnen.
The objective of this fund is to reduce the differentials between the salaries of the various categories of temporary staff and to take on extra staff. 
Denna fond r avsedd att minska skillnaderna i lner mellan anstllda i olika lnegrader och skall mjliggra att man kan anstlla extra personal.
A prerequisite for sound financial management is that, firstly, the legality/regularity of the transactions must be assured. 
En sund ekonomisk frvaltning frutstter att transaktionernas laglighet/korrekthet r skrad p frhand.
Generally speaking, the groups have failed to introduce rules and mechanisms to ensure the principles of sound financial management are applied. 
Allmnt sett har grupperna inte infrt regler och mekanismer fr att skerstlla tillmpandet av principerna fr en sund ekonomisk frvaltning.
In particular, the distribution of the appropriations, in the form of non-repayable grants, among the national delegations, the absence of a prior authorisation mechanism for operations, the absence of rates and scales of pay and the non-application of procedures to open the awarding of contracts to competition are not such as to ensure that the expenditure is always in accordance with the principles of sound financial management. 
Det r framfr allt frdelningen av anslag som har karaktren av definitiva tilldelningar till de nationella delegationerna, frnvaron av frhandsgodknnande av transaktionerna, frnvaron av lneskalor och ersttningsniver och det faktum att man inte tillmpat anbudsfrfaranden vid upphandling som gr att ingen skerhet kan erhllas om att utgifterna alltid verensstmmer med en sund ekonomisk frvaltning.
These weaknesses did not lead to poor overall use of the funds but some of the transactions examined by the Court give rise to reservations in respect of compliance with the criterion of economy. 
Dessa svagheter har inte lett till att medlen allmnt sett har anvnts p fel stt. Men vissa av de transaktioner som underskts av revisionsrtten ger anledning till reservationer vad gller efterlevnaden av det ekonomiska kriteriet.
For example, the reimbursement scales for mission expenses are more generous in some groups than those applicable to the staff of the European Institutions. In the CourtŐs opinion, however, these latter scales are perfectly adequate, under normal circumstances, for the groupsŐ requirements. 
Till exempel r ersttningsniverna vad gller kostnader fr tjnsteresor mer gynnsamma n det system som gller fr anstllda vid de europeiska institutionerna och som enligt revisionsrttens uppfattning i normala fall r vl lmpat fr gruppernas behov.
The Court also observed several cases of expenditure which did not seem useful or reasonable. 
Revisionsrtten har ocks kunnat konstatera ngra fall av utgifter som inte frefaller nyttiga eller rimliga.

SLUTSATSER OCH REKOMMENDATIONER 62.
The lack of clarity in the rules and procedures applicable to the groups in respect of the eligibility of their expenditure, the frequent absence of any satisfactory system of internal control

28.6.2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 181/11 and the weaknesses of the present external audit system have contributed to the considerable problems discovered by the Court in respect of the legality/regularity of the transactions. 
28.6.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 181/11 svagheterna hos det nuvarande systemet fr extern revision har bidragit till de betydande problem med laglighet/korrekthet som konstaterats av revisionsrtten.
There is no guarantee that the funds were always used in accordance with the principles of sound financial management. 
Det r inte skerstllt att medlen alltid har anvnts p ett stt som str i verensstmmelse med en sund ekonomisk frvaltning.
Obviously, this does not mean that all the expenditure by all the groups is affected by the anomalies described in this report. 
Detta betyder sjlvklart inte att alla gruppers samtliga utgifter r behftade med de anomalier som presenteras i denna rapport.
The fact is that the CourtŐs audit revealed a situation full of contrasts, the problems described being more frequent in some groups - and some non-attached members - than in others. 
Revisionsrttens granskning har visat p en situation med relativt mnga kontraster dr vissa grupper och vissa grupplsa ledamter mer n andra representerar de problem som anfrts.
The amendment made at the end of 1998 resulted in no appreciable improvement in this respect. 
Den ndring som gjordes i slutet av 1998 har i detta hnseende inte inneburit ngon betydande frbttring.
Thought should be given to placing all the appropriations under a single budget heading, in particular so as to end the highly theoretical distinction between political and information activities. 
Att samla anslagen p en enda budgetpost borde underskas i syfte att avskaffa den teoretiska distinktionen mellan politiska aktiviteter och informationsarbete.
This would also facilitate accounting and auditing. 
Detta skulle ven frenkla bokfringen och revisionen.
In view of the role ascribed to political parties at European level by Article 191 of the Treaty establishing the European Community and in view of the inclusion in the budget of a heading specifically for contributions to European political parties, consideration should also be given to drawing up transparent rules to be applied to the financing of these parties. 
Ytterligare en sak br tas i beaktande vad gller den roll som de politiska partierna tilldelats p europeisk niv genom artikel 191 i Frdraget om upprttandet av Europeiska gemenskapen och vad gller infrandet i budgeten av en post som srskilt gller bidrag till europeiska politiska partier fr att f en tydlig och ppen definition av vilka regler som skall tillmpas fr finansieringen av dessa.
This opportunity should also be used to clarify the role and activities of the groups while reaffirming that they are, primarily, internal parliamentary structures. 
Detta borde vara ett tillflle att klargra gruppernas roll och aktiviteter och att erinra om att det framfr allt rr sig om interna organ inom parlamentet.
This system should allow the rules governing the implementation of the Community budget to be applied in full and should, in the CourtŐs view, lead, in particular, to the centralisation of the disbursement of and accounting for expenditure in the ParliamentŐs administrative departments. 
Detta system borde tillta att de regler som hnfr sig till genomfrandet av gemenskapens budget tillmpas fullt ut och borde framfr allt enligt revisionsrttens sikt visa sig genom en centralisering av betalningar och bokfring av utgifter vid parlamentets administrativa enheter.
In order to allow greater insight, primarily for the Parliament, into the use made of the appropriations, each groupŐs annual report should include a sufficiently detailed and informative presentation of the objectives, the type and the cost of the main activities financed. 
Fr att i frsta hand parlamentet skall f mjlighet att bttre knna till anvndningen av anslagen br varje grupps rsrapport innehlla en tillrckligt detaljerad och informativ presentation av mlen fr de huvudsakliga finansierade aktiviteterna, slaget av aktiviteter och kostnaderna fr dem.
The groupsŐ certified accounts, which have been public since 1999, should be published in future. 
Gruppernas godknda rkenskaper som sedan 1999 r offentliga borde i framtiden publiceras.
To make it more effective, the external audit of all the groups should be entrusted, for a set period (for example, one parlia-ment), to a single body selected by invitation to tender. 
Fr att bli mer ndamlsenlig br den externa revisionen fr samtliga grupper under en bestmd tid (till exempel en valperiod) anfrtros ett enda organ som valts ut genom ett anbudsfrfarande.
The external auditorŐs remit should be clearly defined and explicitly include an audit of the regularity of the transactions, right up to the Member States. 
Befogenheterna fr den externa revisorn br klart definieras s att de uttryckligen omfattar en granskning av transaktionernas korrekthet ven i medlemsstaterna.
This external auditor should draw up a report on each group, every year, and submit it directly to the President of the Parliament. 
Denna externa revisor borde varje r avge en rapport fr varje grupp som lmnas direkt till parlamentets ordfrande.
The multiplicity of employment contracts and service contracts, which are quite frequently at odds with Community and national regulations, represent major risks with regard to the ParliamentŐs legal responsibility. 
Det stora antalet anstllningsavtal eller avtal om tjnster som ofta inte riktigt verensstmmer med gemenskapsbestmmelser och nationella bestmmelser innebr stora risker fr parlamentets juridiska ansvar.
It is essential that consideration should be given, without delay, to clarifying the contractual relationship between the groups and their employees and service-providers. 
Det r allts ndvndigt att man s snart som mjligt vidtar tgrder fr att klara upp de kontraktsmssiga frhllandena mellan grupperna och deras anstllda och tjnsteleve-rantrerna.
In order to ensure compliance with certain basic legal forms, a standardisation of the contracts should be undertaken under the supervision of the ParliamentŐs secretariat, which should, in addition, automatically receive a copy of all the contracts concluded. 
Fr att vissa elementra rttsliga former skall upprtt-hllas, br en normalisering av kontrakten ske under uppsikt av parlamentets enheter som ocks systematiskt br erhlla ett exemplar av alla undertecknade kontrakt.

Rule 29(1) of ParliamentŐs Rules of Procedure provides, ÔMembers may form themselves into groups 2 according to their political affinitiesŐ. () The rules governing the use of funds placed at the disposal of the political groups for their secretarial expenses and administrative operating expenditure (3 7 0 5) and their political activities (3 7 0 6) were adopted by the ParliamentŐs Bureau on 10 July 1986 (EP 107.858/ BUR/Ann. 
I artikel 29.1 i parlamentets arbetsordning sgs att Óledamter fr bilda grupper efter politisk tillhrighet.Ó (2) Bestmmelserna fr anvndning av de medel som stllts till de politiska gruppernas frfogande fr sekretariatsutgifter och administrativa utgifter (3 7 0 5) och deras politiska aktiviteter (3 7 0 6) har antagits av parlamentets presidium den 10 juli 1986 (PE 107.858/BUR/ Ann.
These rules were amended by the Bureau on 14 December 1998 (EP 274.329/BUR) at the same time as these appropriations were brought under a single heading (3 7 0 7). 
Samtidigt med att anslagen samlades under en enda budgetpost (3 7 0 7) har dessa bestmmelser ndrats av presidiet den 14 december 1998 (PE 274.329/BUR).
The rules amending the use of appropriations for information activities (3 7 0 8) were adopted by the Bureau on 28 January 1992 (EP 158.828/BUR/Ann. 
Bestmmelserna med utnyttjandebestmmelser fr anslagen fr informationsarbete (3 7 0 8) antogs av presidiet den 28 januari 1992 (PE 158.828/BUR/Ann.
On 28 October 1993 (EP 175.829/BUR) the Bureau gave its agreement to the addition to these rules, as an Annex, of the joint text referred to as the ÔgentlemenŐs agreementŐ which was adopted on 26 May 1993 by the Presidents of the political groups for the purposes of standardising internal rules and harmonising the systems of accounts and annual reports. 
Den 28 oktober 1993 (PE 175.892/BUR) gav presidiet sitt samtycke till bifogandet av den gemensamma text som kallas ÓgentlemenŐs agreementÓ, och som antogs den 26 maj 1993 av ordfrandena fr de politiska grupperna fr att f till stnd enhetliga interna bestmmelser liksom en harmoniserad kontoplan och rsrapport.
These rules were 3 amended by the Bureau on 14 December 1998 (EP 274.330/BUR). () Court of Justice, judgment of 23 April 1986, Case 294/83, the Green 4 Group v Parliament. () The PresidentsŐ conference is made up of the President of the Parliament and the Presidents of the groups. 
Den 14 december 1998 ndrade presidiet dessa bestmmelser 3 (PE 274.330/BUR). () Dom av den 23 april 1986 i ml C-294/83, De grna mot Europa-4 parlamentet. () Ordfrandekonferensen bestr av parlamentets ordfrande och ordfrandena fr grupperna.

The Quaestors are members of the 6 Bureau in a consultative capacity. () The formula for distributing appropriations makes provision for: Ń on the one hand, a lump sum per group (75 % of the groupsŐ total appropriations for heading 3 7 0 5 and 85 % for heading 3 7 0 6), i.e.: for groups with between 0 and 39 members: 1 unit, for groups with between 40 and 79 members: 1,5 units, for groups with between 80 and 119 members: 2 units, for groups with between 120 and 159 members: 2,5 units, for groups with between 160 and 199 members: 3 units, for groups with between 200 and 239 members: 3,5 units, Ń and, on the other hand, an amount to be distributed on a proportional basis (25 % of the groupsŐ total appropriations for heading 3 7 0 5 and 15 % of the groupsŐ total appropriations for heading 3 7 0 6) taking the number of members and the languages used by each group into account (the proportional sum per member is increased by 5 % per language up to a maximum of 11 languages). 
Kvestorerna r rdgivande ledamter av pre-6 sidiet. () Frdelningen sker enligt fljande: Ń Dels ett belopp fr varje grupp (75 % av gruppernas totala anslag fr post 3 7 0 5 och 85 % fr post 3 7 0 6), nmligen: Ń fr grupper p 0 till 39 ledamter: 1 del, Ń fr grupper p 40 till 79 ledamter: 1,5 del, Ń fr grupper p 80 till 119 ledamter: 2 delar, Ń fr grupper p 120 till 159 ledamter: 2,5 del, Ń fr grupper p 160 till 199 ledamter: 3 delar, Ń fr grupper p 200 till 239 ledamter: 3,5 del Ń och fr vrigt ett proportionellt belopp (25 % gruppernas totala anslag fr post 3 7 0 5 och 15 % av gruppernas totala anslag fr post 3 7 0 6) som tar hnsyn till varje grupps storlek liksom den sprkliga situationen (den proportionella summan per ledamot kas med 5 % per sprk med 11 sprk som maximum).
7 () The share of these other appropriations devoted by the Parliament to the operations of the political groups can be estimated, very roughly, at approximately EUR 80 million. 
7 () Uppskattningsvis uppgr den del av dessa vriga anslag som parlamentet tilldelar de politiska gruppernas arbete till 80 miljoner euro.
The total annual expenditure by the Parliament in connection with the activities of the political groups would therefore be of the order of EUR 115 million, compared with a total budget for the Parliament of EUR 905 million in 1998 (i.e. 8 approximately 13 %). 
Fljaktligen skulle det totala beloppet fr parlamentets rliga utgifter fr de politiska gruppernas verksamhet uppg till ca 115 miljoner euro, vilket skall jmfras med parlamentets totala budget p 905 mil-8 joner euro 1998 (eller omkring 13 %).
