The cancellation rate of 2015 payment appropriations carried over to 2016 was also high for Title II at 17 % (2015: 20 %), pointing to a need to improve budget planning.

Although the Office or the Commission carried out evaluations of specific topics on an ad hoc basis, the Office should, together with the Commission, consider commissioning comprehensive external performance evaluations at least every five years, as is the case for most other Agencies.

EUROPEAN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OFFICE (EUIPO) INTRODUCTION 3.34.1. 
EUROPEISKA UNIONENS IMMATERIALRTTSMYNDIGHET (EUIPO) INLEDNING 3.34.1.
The European Union Intellectual Property Office (hereinafter Ôthe OfficeŐ, aka ÔEUIPOŐ), known as Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (ÔOHIMŐ) until 23 March 2016, was established in 1993. 
Europeiska unionens immaterialrttsmyndighet (EUIPO, nedan kallad myndigheten), som fram till den 23 mars 2016 benmndes Kontoret fr harmonisering inom den inre marknaden (OHIM), inrttades 1993.
Its initial founding Regulation was revised for the last time by Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (254). 
Den ursprungliga inrttandefrordningen reviderades senast genom Europaparlamentets och rdets frordning (EU) 2017/1001(254).
The core business of the Office, which is located in Alicante, is the registration of EU trademarks and registered Community designs, which are valid throughout the EU. 
Myndigheten ligger i Alicante och har som huvuduppgift att registrera EU-varumrken och registrerade gemenskapsformgivningar som gller i hela EU.

OBSERVATIONS ON BUDGETARY MANAGEMENT 3.34.8. 
IAKTTAGELSER OM BUDGETF RVALTNINGEN 3.34.8.
In 2017, the Office cancelled 3,2 million euros; i.e. 15,9 % of the committed appropriations carried over from 2016, indicating difficulties in planning of budgetary needs, mostly in the field of cooperation with national Intellectual Property Rights Offices. 
Under 2017 lt myndigheten 3,2 million euro eller 15,9 % av de taganden som frts ver frn 2016 frfalla, vilket tyder p svrigheter att planera de budgetmssiga behoven, framfr allt p omrdet samarbete med nationella organ fr immateriella rttigheter.
OBSERVATIONS ON SOUND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 3.34.9. 
IAKTTAGELSER OM SUND EKONOMISK F RVALTNING OCH RESULTAT 3.34.9.
The Office continued to use mainly fixed price modality (258) for contracting services. 
Myndigheten fortsatte att i huvudsak anvnda en metod med fasta priser (258) vid kontraktering av tjnster.
Prices for specific service contracts result from unit prices set in framework contracts (price per man-day etc.) and the estimated number of units needed for the specific service. 
Priserna fr specifika tjnstekontrakt baseras p enhetspriser som faststlls i ramavtal (t.ex. pris per persondag) och det uppskattade antalet enheter som behvs av den specifika tjnsten.
However, in the procurement procedure for an 80 million euros framework contract for general consultancy, audits, studies and project management services the list of services to be provided under the framework contract was not exhaustive. 
Men i upphandlingsfrfarandet fr ett ramavtal p 80 miljoner euro fr allmn rdgivning, revisioner, studier och projektledningstjnster var listan ver tjnster som skulle tillhandahllas enligt ramavtalet inte uttmmande.
In order to evaluate the offers, the tender specifications contained two business cases related to the management of one project and one programme including several projects. 
Fr att kunna utvrdera anbuden innehll anbudsspecifikationerna tv nyttokalkyler som rrde frvaltningen av ett projekt respektive ett program som innefattade flera projekt.
This framework contract is a multiple, mixed framework contract partially using cascade mechanism (general consultancy and project management) and partially using re-opening competition mechanism (audit and studies.). 
Ramavtalet r ett multipelt, blandat ramavtal som anvnder dels en prioritetsordningsmekanism (fr allmn rdgivning och projektledning), dels frnyad konkurrensutsttning (fr revision och studier).
However, the estimated units had been pre-established by the Office in terms of volumes but requesting the tenderers to establish the distribution between the different profiles. 
Det uppskattade antalet enheter hade dock angetts p frhand av myndigheten nr det gller volymer, men anbudsgivarna ombads faststlla frdelningen mellan de olika profilerna.
Competition for the procurement of this framework contract and consequently also some of the related specific contracts was, therefore, based on unit prices, types of profiles and quality, but not on the likely number of units needed which is another crucial element for the calculation of a fixed price contract. 
Konkurrensen i upphandlingen av detta ramavtal och fljaktligen av ngra av de tillhrande specifika kontrakten baserades drfr p enhetspriser, typer av profiler och kvalitet, och inte p det troliga antalet enheter som behvdes, vilket r en annan avgrande faktor i berkningen av ett kontrakt med fasta priser.
We audited one specific contract for a fixed price of 145 447,50 euros concluded under this framework contract, the primary purpose of which is to provide assistance in managing one document management project. 
Vi granskade ett specifikt kontrakt till ett fast pris p 145 447,50 euro som tecknats enligt detta ramavtal, vars frmsta syfte r att tillhandahlla assistans inom ramen fr frvaltningen av ett dokumenthanterings-projekt.
The man-days required for these services cannot be linked to the business cases set out in the tender specifications nor to the service description in the specific contract. 
Antalet persondagar som krvs fr dessa tjnster kan inte kopplas till nyttokalkylen i anbudsspecifikationerna och inte heller till tjnstebeskrivningen i det specifika kontraktet.
A fixed price as specified in this specific contract therefore entails the risk that the services are not delivered in the most economical way. 
Ett fast angivet pris som i detta specifika kontrakt innebr drfr en risk att tjnsterna inte levereras p det mest ekonomiska sttet.
Where it is not possible to set out all the terms governing the provision of services when procuring the framework contract, re-opening of competition between several framework contractors for the specific contracts is more appropriate. 
Om det inte r mjligt att ange alla villkor som ska glla fr tillhandahllandet av tjnster i samband med upphandlingen av ramavtalet, r det lmpligare att flera kontraktsparter i ramavtalet fr en frnyad inbjudan att lmna anbud fr det specifika kontraktet.

30.11.2018 Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 434/197 SV r 2016 Genomfrande av korrigerande tgrder (Har genomfrts/Pgr/Har inte genomfrts/Ej tillmpligt) Har genomfrts (3) BILAGA Uppfljning av tidigare rs iakttagelser Revisionsrttens iakttagelser Myndighetens budgetgenomfrande var lgt Đ 89 % Đ vilket tyder p att uppskattningen av utgifterna i budgeten fr 2016 var inexakt.
The preciseness of the OfficeŐs budget, where necessary through an amendment, has become more important following the recent changes in its founding and financial Regulations specifying mechanisms such as the allocation of surpluses to a reserve fund (1) and the related offsetting mechanism (2) which are connected with the budgeted amounts. 
Myndighetens budget har blivit mer exakt, nr s behvdes genom en ndring, efter det att dess inrttandefrordning och budgetfrordning nyligen ndrades s att det infrdes mekanismer som avsttning av verskott till en reserv(1) och en tillhrande kompensationsmekanism(2) som r kopplade till de budgeterade beloppen.
In 2014, the Office launched a call for tender to conclude a four-year framework contract (FWC) with an estimated market volume of 30 million euros to procure consultancy services covering a broad range of activities comprising audit services, project management, general consultancy and studies. 
Myndigheten inledde 2014 en anbudsinfordran om ett fyrarigt ramavtal med ett uppskattat marknadsvrde p 30 miljoner euro fr att upphandla konsulttjnster som gllde mnga olika typer av verksamhet, ssom revision, projektfrvaltning, allmnna konsulttjnster och studier.
Moreover, despite the broad diversity of services to be procured and the largely varying levels of expenditure per activity, no lots had been used. 
Vidare hade man inte delat upp ramavtalet i delar trots att s mnga varierande tjnster med mycket olika kostnader skulle upphandlas.
Their use could have encouraged participation of smaller companies for low value activities. 
Om man hade anvnt delar skulle mindre fretag ha uppmuntrats att delta med verksamhet till lgt vrde.
Finally, competition on price was neutralised and dependence upon the contractor was increased as a consequence of requesting fixed-price offers from a single contractor using the FWC. 
Slutligen upphvdes priskonkurrensen och kade beroendet av entreprenren eftersom man begrde offerter med fasta priser frn en enda entreprenr nr man anvnde ramavtalet.
The Office should consider concluding agreements with multiple suppliers with reopening of competition whenever appropriate. 
Myndigheten br vervga att ing avtal med flera leverantrer med frnyad konkurrensutsttning nr det r mjligt.
The OfficeŐs founding Regulation establishes that the translation services required for the functioning of the Office shall be provided by the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union (ÔCdTŐ), resulting in the Office being CdTŐs main client. 
I myndighetens inrttandefrordning faststlls att de versttningstjnster som den behver fr sitt arbete ska utfras av versttningscentrum fr Europeiska unionens organ, vilket gr att myndigheten r versttningscentrums strsta kund.
The Office makes increasing use of in-house solutions such as linguistic and translation memories and related software. 
Myndigheten utnyttjar i allt strre utstrckning interna lsningar, ssom versttningsminnen och tillhrande programvara.
These tools aim to improve the OfficeŐs own cost-effectiveness and efficiency. 
Verktygen syftar till att frbttra myndighetens egen kostnadseffektivitet och effektivitet.
However, from a European Union perspective the current situation may result in a duplication of effort and related costs. 
Ur ett EU-perspektiv kan dock den aktuella situationen leda till dubbelarbete och dubbla kostnader.
2016 Ongoing (4) 2016 Ongoing (1) Article 89(1) of the OfficeŐs financial regulation provides that it shall establish a reserve fund having sufficient funds to ensure the continuity of its operations and the execution of its tasks for one year, that is, the equivalent of the estimated appropriations foreseen in Titles 1, 2 and 3 of the OfficeŐs budget.

While the rate of cancellation is slightly above 15 % the figure of EUR 3,2 million of cancelled committed carry-overs is the lowest in the last 10 years (since 2008). 
Samtidigt som andelen frfallna verfrda anslag r drygt 15 %, r siffran 3,2 miljoner euro den lgsta under de senaste 10 ren (sedan 2008) fr dessa anslag.
The Office continues to work with the National Offices in order to reduce the cancelled carry-overs through interim execution reports and mid-year reviews with increased control measures forming an integral part of each new Cooperation agreement. 
Myndigheten fortstter att samarbeta med de nationella kontoren i syfte att minska de frfallna verfringarna genom delrapporter om genomfrande och halvrsgranskningar med kade kontrolltgrder som utgr en del av varje nytt samarbetsavtal.
In addition, further measures have been reinforced in-house such as raising awareness through coaching, training, information notes and meetings with the financial actors. 
Dessutom har ytterligare tgrder frstrkts internt, ssom att ka medvetenheten genom handledning, utbildning, informationsmeddelanden och mten med ekonomiska aktrer.
Moreover, the Office anticipated before year-end 2017 that the level of cancelled carry-overs would exceed 15 % and pro-actively took additional measures to reduce the carry-overs for the following year. 
Myndigheten frvntade dessutom fre slutet av r 2017 att andelen frfallna verfringar skulle verstiga 15 % och vidtog proaktivt ytterligare tgrder fr att minska verfringarna fr det pfljande ret.
COMMENTS ON SOUND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 3.34.9. 
KOMMENTARER OM SUND EKONOMISK F RVALTNING OCH RESULTAT 3.34.9.
As a preliminary comment, the established scenarios in the procurement documents were aimed at being the most illustrative and representative for the future uses of the contract and were not expected to be linked in detail to each and every specific contract. 
Myndigheten noterar revisionsrttens kommentarer. Inledningsvis var de faststllda scenarierna i upphandlingsdokumenten mnade att vara de mest belysande och representativa fr framtida anvndning av avtalet, och frvntades inte kopplas nrmare till varje specifikt kontrakt.
Concerning the appropriateness of the re-opening of competition mechanism and as stated in the Office's reply to the 2016 audit, this concept has already been introduced in the assessed Framework Contract (FWC) for audits and studies. 
Nr det gller lmpligheten av att ter ppna konkurrensmekanismen, och som ocks uppges i myndighetens svar p 2016 rs revision, har detta koncept redan infrts i det bedmda ramavtalet fr revisioner och underskningar.
The Office has evaluated the added value brought by this mechanism in comparison with the administrative cost it entails and, given the intensive use of the consultancy and project management services by the Office, has concluded that it is not considered the most efficient way to manage the latter type of contracts. 
Myndigheten har utvrderat mervrdet av denna mekanism i jmfrelse med de administrativa kostnader den medfr, och har med tanke p myndighetens intensiva anvndning av konsult-och projektledningstjnster konstaterat att den inte anses vara det effektivaste sttet att hantera dessa typer av avtal.
