99. although there is no detailed regulatory framework, as far as the staff of the agencies covered by the staff regulations is concerned, the legislator, while setting the general principles, left the margin of discretion to the appointing authority of each institution/agency to adjust the rules to their specificities and adopt detailed/tailor-made implementing rules. the inter-institutional Working Group on Eu decentralised agencies, steered by the commission, is about to formally agree on a common approach where the issue of conflicts of interests is addressed in the following way: — paragraph 11: ‘a coherent policy on preventing and managing conflict of interests concerning members of the Management Board, whether or not they sit in personal capacity, should be developed and applied in all agencies.’ — paragraph 18: ‘a coherent policy on preventing and managing conflict of interests concerning the director should be developed and applied in all agencies. the commission should examine, together with the agencies, whether there is scope for a harmonised approach.’ 
Den interinstitutionella arbetsgruppen för decentraliserade EU-myndigheter, som leds av kommissionen, står beredd att formellt besluta om en gemensam strategi där frågan om intressekonflikter tas upp på följande sätt: — Punkt 11: ”En konsekvent strategi bör utvecklas och tilllämpas inom alla organ för förebyggande och hantering av intressekonflikter mellan styrelsemedlemmarna, oavsett om de deltar i personlig egenskap eller ej.” — Punkt18: ”En konsekvent strategi för förebyggande och hantering av intressekonflikter som rör direktören bör utvecklas och tillämpas inom alla organ.
Reply of the CoMMISSIoN furthermore, the need to ensure the independence of members of scientific committees and boards of appeal is also mentioned. the commission will present a roadmap on the implementation of the common approach by the end of 2012, where it will, amongst other things, indicate how it intends to work with agencies to follow-up on these provisions. in this context, the potential need to develop an Eu regulatory framework will be duly considered. recommendations 10 and 11 the commission supports and encourages the improvement in terms of management of conflict of interests which has been emphasized during the discussions within the inter-institutional working group on decentralized agencies. according to the staff regulations, the agencies have an independent status and the appointing authority powers are exercised by them. this includes the application/imple-mentation of the rules in question. in accordance with article 110 of the staff regulations, agencies adopt implementing rules giving effect to the sr or cEos measures in agreement with the commission. this implies that each agency is bound to submit to the commission any draft rule giving effect to the sr before its adoption. the commission proposed, in the context of the revised procedure of article 110 of the staff regulations, a by default application of the commission rules to statutory staff of the agencies. (see also reply to paragraph 99). 
KOMMISSIONENS SVAR Vidare omtalas behovet av att säkerställa oberoendet för ledamöter i vetenskapliga kommittéer och överklagandenämnder. I slutet av 2012 kommer kommissionen att lägga fram en färdplan för genomförandet av den gemensamma strategin, då det bl.a. kommer att anges hur man avser att samarbeta med byråer för att följa upp dessa bestämmelser.
exeCutive suMMary i. the selected agencies acknowledge the report and recommendations. the report could serve as a basis for a shared work to be undertaken with the European commission and the other Eu institutions to develop a common union framework and/or minimum standards, as it was concluded by the Eu legislator in the context of the inter-institutional Working Group on regulatory agencies. iv. there are specific legislative requirements applicable to the individual agencies. in this context, the selected agencies developed policies and procedures; and are continuously enhancing these, mainly on the basis of agency-specific regulatory requirements. in the absence of a comprehensive Eu framework, some agencies indeed referred to the oEcd Guidelines. 
SAMMANFATTNING I. De utvalda organen har tagit del av rapporten och rekommendationerna. Rapporten kan användas som utgångspunkt för att tillsammans med Europeiska kommissionen och övriga EU-institutioner utveckla en gemensam unionsram och/eller miniminormer, precis som EU-lagstiftaren konstaterade i den interinstitutionella arbetsgruppen om tillsynsmyndigheter.
However, the oEcd guidelines (like the European staff regulations) only focus on public officials employed by public authorities (and not on those who are not officials like members of Management Board and Board of appeal, external experts). oEcd guidelines may be applied to other categories of professionals by analogy. 
Dessa riktlinjer är dock (precis som tjänsteföreskrifterna för tjänstemän i Europeiska gemenskaperna, nedan kallade EU:s tjänsteföreskrifter) endast inriktade på offentliga tjänstemän som är anställda av myndigheter (och inte på dem som inte är tjänstemän, som ledamöter av styrelser och överklagandenämnder, eller externa experter).
However, when applied, the principles of these guidelines need to be followed taking into account the specific situation in which they are intended to be applied. in the light thereof, Easa will primarily follow the European commission guidelines in the area of code of conduct/Ethics; but also takes into account the oEcd guidelines where needed and consider the specific situations in which they are intended to be applied. v. Easa acknowledges that at the time of the audit, shortcomings were identified when benchmarking the agency’s policies and procedures against oEcd guidelines. it is, however, important to recall in this context that policies and procedures adopted and/or implemented after the court completed its fieldwork (october 2011) have not been evaluated. a significant number of recommendations have thus been addressed by the time of publication of this report. rEply of tHE EuropEaN avIatIoN SafEty agENCy With regard to the finding that ‘none of the selected agencies adequately manages conflict of interests situations’, it deserves clarification that Easa fully comply with its founding regulations and other laws that apply to the agency, such as the Eu financial regulation and the Eu staff regulations. in addition, Easa in the current aforementioned context adopted its own regulations/policies and procedures - taking into account its particular governance and legal requirements from its founding legal acts. 
OECD:s riktlinjer kan tillämpas på andra yrkeskategorier genom analogi, men i så fall måste principerna för dessa riktlinjer följas med hänsyn till de särskilda omständigheter som de ska tillämpas på. Därför kommer Europeiska byrån för luftfartssäkerhet (Easa) främst att följa Europeiska kommissionens riktlinjer för uppförandekod/etik, men också ta hänsyn till OECD:s riktlinjer vid behov och till de särskilda situationer som de är avsedda att tillämpas på.
Easa wishes to highlight the specific governance structure of Easa and its lack of direct influence on its Management Board, Board of appeal and external experts/organisations. in particular, Easa makes a clear differentiation between Easa itself (agency staff ) and its Management Board (MB)/ Board of appeal, when analysing the issue of potential conflict of interests. 
Easa vill framhålla byråns särskilda ledningsstruktur och att ledningen saknar direkt inflytande över byråns styrelse, överklagandenämnd och externa experter/organisationer. Framför allt gör Easa tydlig åtskillnad mellan själva Easa (byråns anställda) och dess styrelse/överklagandenämnd när den undersöker frågan om eventuella intressekonflikter.
Easa and its Management Board have different functions and competences as well as different procedures to adopt decisions. viii. 
Easa och dess styrelse har olika funktioner och befogenheter och även olika beslutsförfaranden. VIII.
Special report No 15/2012 – Management of conflict of interest in selected Eu agencies 66 
Särskild rapport nr 15/2012 – Hantering av intressekonflikter vid utvalda EU‐organ 66
to further improve the already existing measures: code of Good administrative practices (in particular articles 7 and 8), Eu commission guidelines on gifts, specific policy on conflict of interest for standardisation activities, principle of collegiality in decision-making, provisions regarding conflict of interest within outsourcing contracts, the agency is currently setting-up a specific agency wide policy relating to conflict of interest (i.e. identification, prevention, monitoring and dealing with the consequences of conflict of interest cases). this was also noted by the European parliament in the abovementioned resolution. x. (a) in line with the reply to section Viii, and taking into account that Easa has no direct influence on external experts, Management Board and Board of appeal as per the governance structure established by the founding regulation, Easa is currently setting up a specific agency-wide policy on conflict of interest management by extending its existing agency policy on code of conduct (i.e. code of Good administrative practices); and will propose a dedicated policy on conflict of interest for Management Board and Board of appeal to be adopted by them with the support from an external consultant using the existing framework contract (framework contract no -30-cE-0390041) from the European commission dG Budget related to internal control standards (ics). rEply of tHE EuropEaN avIatIoN SafEty agENCy x. (c) (ii) Easa outsources a non-significant part of its certification tasks to naas and Qualified Entities (20% in average and being minor projects in its scope). a dedicated standardised framework contract template is systematically used and contains a clause on conflict of interest management measures to be put in place in these organisations and a clause on the right for Easa to verify these measures. in line with the explanation given by the court in paragraph 36, Easa will develop criteria and methodology (based on Easa specific policy on conflict of interest management) required to fulfil this clause during accreditation activities when deemed necessary. 
För att ytterligare förbättra de befintliga åtgärderna – koden för god förvaltningssed (särskilt artiklarna 7 och 8), Europeiska kommissionens riktlinjer för gåvor, den särskilda policyn för intressekonflikter vid standardiseringsverksamhet, principen om kollegiala beslut, bestämmelserna om intressekonflikter vid entreprenadkontrakt – arbetar byrån för närvarande med att införa en särskild byråomfattande policy för intressekonflikter (dvs. identifiering, förebyggande, övervakning och hantering av konsekvenserna av fall av intressekonflikter).
Easa may only require naas and Qualified Entities to put in place additional measures but has clearly no direct influence on these organisations to ensure that conflict of interest is managed to a comparable standard. x. (c) (iii) taking into account that Easa has no direct influence on the Management Board and Board of appeal, Easa will establish criteria for assessment of declarations of interest to be applied consistently for the agency staff members; and foresees to propose specific criteria for assessment of declarations of interests to be adopted by the Management Board and the Board of appeal for their respective members. x. (c) (iv) Easa already refers to and follows the Eu commission guidance on gifts and invitations for the agency staff members. 
Easa får endast begära att nationella behöriga myndigheter och behöriga organ ska vidta ytterligare åtgärder, men har inget direkt inflytande över dessa organisationer för att se till att intressekonflikter hanteras på ett likvärdigt sätt. X. c) iii) Eftersom Easa inte har något direkt inflytande över styrelsen och överklagandenämnden kommer Easa att införa kriterier för bedömning av intresseförklaringar som ska tilllämpas konsekvent för byråns personal och tänker föreslå särskilda kriterier för bedömning av intresseförklaringar som styrelsen och överklagandenämnden ska anta för sina respektive ledamöter.
Easa introduced a chapter on gifts and invitations in its conflict of interest policy, here above mentioned. for the Management Board and Board of appeal, Easa foresees to propose a chapter on gifts and invitations in the dedicated conflict of interest management policy, to be adopted by the Management Board and the Board of appeal for their respective members. these policies will be based on the existing Eu commission guidance. x. (c) (i) taking into account that agencies have no direct influence on certain appointments (e.g. Management Board, Board of appeal, committee members directly appointed by Member states) they can only perform the screening of candidates to be appointed by the agency. therefore, Easa will define criteria and methodology for the screening of candidates to be employed by the agency under European staff regulations and conditions of Employment of other servants of the European community in line with the specific agency-wide policy on conflict of interest under evaluation, here above mentioned. for other members, the agency could foresee to propose to the related appointing bodies (i.e: Member states, Eu commission, industry, etc) to establish screening procedures before appointment of the concerned member(s). 
Easa har infört ett kapitel om gåvor och inbjudningar i sin policy för intressekonflikter. För styrelsen och överklagandenämnden planerar Easa att föreslå ett kapitel om gåvor och inbjudningar i den särskilda policy för hantering av intressekonflikter som styrelsen och överklagandenämnden ska anta för sina respektive ledamöter.

Easa foresees to propose the introduction of a specific breach of trust policies and procedures chapter in the conflict of interest management policy to be adopted by the Management Board and the Board of appeal for their respective members. x. (c) (vi) Easa, since its creation, ensures transparency in its technical decision-making proceses as requested in the respective technical and operational agency procedures. in addition, the agency has set-up its integrated Management system (iMs) being iso9001 certified since 2010. the Easa iMs strongly supports the implementation of transparency requirements, among others, in all agency procedures. 
Easa kommer att föreslå att det införs ett särskilt kapitel om policyer och förfaranden för trolöshet mot huvudman i den särskilda policy för hantering av intressekonflikter som styrelsen och överklagandenämnden ska anta för sina respektive ledamöter.
Easa will extend the declaration of interests for its agency staff playing an important role in the technical decision-making processes of the agency. rEply of tHE EuropEaN avIatIoN SafEty agENCy x. (c) (vii) Easa provides already a dedicated compulsory training to newcomers (agency staff ) on its code of conduct (i.e code of Good administrative practices) including the provisions related to conflict of interest contain therein. as part of the on-going consultancy framework contract (framework contract no -30-cE-0390041) from the European commission dG Budget related to internal control standards (ics), Easa will improve its existing compulsory training for newcomers to further detail the conflict of interest area and foresees to propose a dedicated training on the specific conflict of interest policy to the members of the Management Board and Board of appeal. x. (c) (viii) the commission has given effect to the provisions of the staff regulations governing post-employment issues by decision 85-2004 of 29 June 2004 on outside activities. the commission considers that it should apply by analogy to the staff of the agencies. 
Easa kommer att utöka intresseförklaringarna till att omfatta anställda vid byrån som har en viktig roll i byråns tekniska beslutsfattande.
Within the confines of the procedure under article 110 of the staff regulations, all agencies in question (for their staff covered by the staff regulations) have submitted to the commission for agreement the draft implementing rules on outside activities. the commission gave its agreement to Easa (Ed decision 2007/006/a) by decision c(2006) 7264. 
Inom ramen för förfarandet enligt artikel 110 i tjänsteföreskrifterna har alla berörda organ (för de av organens anställda som omfattas av tjänsteföreskrifterna) lämnat in förslag till genomförandebestämmelser för extern verksamhet till kommissionen för godkännande.
(Ed decision listed in annex ii by the court). 
(Dom-stolen förtecknar detta beslut i bilaga II.)
With experts and members of the Management Board and Board of appeal, who are not staff, the agency has no legal power to impose conditions on their freedom of employment after the end of their mandate. therefore Easa could endeavour to address post-employment issues for these members or any other external experts involved in Easa activities. 
När det gäller experter och ledamöter i styrelsen och i överklagandenämnden som inte är anställda har byrån ingen rättslig befogenhet att ställa villkor för deras anställningsfrihet efter att deras mandatperiod gått ut. Därför kan Easa försöka hantera frågor som är aktuella efter att anställningsförhållandet upphört för dessa ledamöter och andra externa experter som deltar i Easas verksamhet.
Moreover, Easa wishes to highlight that, with regards to staff members there are certain limitations, resulting from the temporary nature of contracts that can be offered by agencies and fundamental rights of the individuals working with them. x. (d) it is crucial for Easa that the Eu legislator develops further the Eu regulatory framework in the area of conflict of interest management in order to have a compliant and consistent approach on conflict of interest management not only within the selected agencies but within all Eu institutions and decentralised bodies. 
Dessutom vill Easa framhålla att det för anställda finns vissa begränsningar till följd av de tidsbegränsade kontrakt som organ kan erbjuda och de grundläggande rättigheterna för de enskilda personer som arbetar med dem. X. d) Det är mycket viktigt för Easa att EU-lagstiftaren vidareutvecklar EU:s regelverk för hantering av intressekonflikter för att utforma en metod för hantering av intressekonflikter som följer regelverket och är enhetlig, inte bara inom de utvalda organen utan inom alla EU-institutioner och decentraliserade organ.

introduCtion 7. second indent Easa has no scientific committee or panel. 
INLEDNING 7. Andra strecksatsen Easa har ingen vetenskaplig kommitté eller panel.
Easa wishes to clarify that the only external experts to be considered are seconded national Experts (snEs), naas involved in drafting rulemaking Groups, naas involved in standardisation activities and naas/Qualified Entities involved in outsourcing. 
Easa vill förtydliga att de enda externa experter som behöver beaktas är utsända nationella experter, nationella behöriga myndigheter som deltar i regleringsgrupper, nationella behöriga myndigheter som deltar i standardiseringsverk-samhet och nationella behöriga myndigheter/behöriga organ enheter som deltar i entreprenadverksamhet.
7. third indent Eca refers, as example, of risk for decision based on research carried out or financed by industry. 
7. Tredje strecksatsen Revisionsrätten hänvisar t.ex. till risken för att beslut baseras på forskning som utförs eller finansieras av industrin.
Easa uses research activities to gather information and not as exclusive source for technical decision-making. box 1 the tendering process which was completed by end of May 2012 is now compliant with Eu and Easa financial rules. 
Easa använder forskningsverksamhet för att samla information, inte som exklusiv källa för tekniska beslut. Fält 1 Det anbudsförfarande som slutfördes i slutet av maj 2012 uppfyller nu EU:s och Easas finansiella bestämmelser.
Easa is also bound by the system laid down within its founding regulation (regulation (Ec) no 216/2008 of the European parliament and of the council.) 
Easa är också bunden av det system som fastställs i förordningen om inrättande av byrån (Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EG) nr 216/2008).
10. these rules only apply to staff employed by agencies. it is not possible to apply them to persons designated ‘ad personam’ (not employed by the agencies) such as members of Management Boards and scientific experts in general or to persons representing Ms (members of agencies' Boards representing Ms and institutions). rEply of tHE EuropEaN avIatIoN SafEty agENCy 13. 
10. Dessa regler gäller enbart för anställda vid organ. Det går inte att tillämpa dem på personer som är personligt utnämnda (inte anställda av organen), som styrelseledamöter och vetenskapliga experter i allmänhet, eller på personer som företräder medlemsstater (ledamöter i organens styrelser som företräder medlemsstater och institutioner).
Each operational process has been described in the corresponding applicable procedure. the aforementioned has been recently recognised by the European parliament in a resolution from 10 May 2012 (European parliament resolution of 10 May 2012 with observations forming an integral part of its decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European aviation safety agency for the financial year 2010 (c7-0285/2011 – 2011/2224(dEc); see in particular point 16). audit sCoPe and aPProaCh 15. first indent the European parliament in its resolution from 10 May 2012 has recognised the following mitigation measures in this regard: Special report No 15/2012 – Management of conflict of interest in selected Eu agencies 69 
Opartiska beslut i Easas verksamhet garanteras genom att den tekniska bedömningen och beslutsfattandet sker kollegialt. Varje operativt förfarande har beskrivits i motsvarande tillämpligt förfarande. Detta behandlades nyligen av Europaparlamentet i en resolution av den 10 maj 2012 (Europaparlamentets resolution av den 10 maj 2012, med synpunkter i sitt beslut om ansvarsfrihet för genomförandet av budgeten för Europeiska byrån för luftfartssäkerhet för budgetåret 2010 (C7-0285/2011 – 2011/2224 (DEC), se särskilt punkt 16).
‘notes that the agency's technical staff members need to be commonly recruited from national aviation authorities and the aviation industry; understands that the staff members must have sufficient and up-to-date technical experience of working in the field of aviation to perform a technical check of documents demonstrating compliance for the purposes of ensuring an adequate level of aviation safety as requested by the applicable union legislation; is concerned however that this situation could cause conflicts of interest if a staff member recruited from an aircraft manufacturer works and takes decisions at the agency on the certification of the aircraft he/she used to work on while employed by the manufacturer and, if not detected and adequately managed, could result in a conflict of interest situation; recognises however that the agency has put in place a certification procedure where impartiality of the decision-making process is guaranteed through the collegiality of the technical assessments and the decision-making process itself’. 
”Europaparlamentet konstaterar att de anställda teknikerna vanligen måste rekryteras från nationella luftfartsmyndigheter och från flygplansindustrin. Parlamentet inser att de anställda måste ha tillräcklig och aktuell teknisk erfarenhet från arbete inom luftfartsområdet för att kunna göra tekniska kontroller av handlingar som visar hur bestämmelserna efterlevs, så att en adekvat flygsäkerhetsnivå kan garanteras, i enlighet med kraven i den tillämpliga unionslagstiftningen.
