                  having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinion of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (A7-0102/2013),

                  A.

                  whereas the Court of Auditors stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (‘the Agency’) for the financial year 2011 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular,

                  B.

                  whereas the Agency’s overall budget for the year 2011 was EUR 20 180 000, whereas the initial contribution of the Unionto the Agency’s budget for 2011 was EUR 19 978 200,

         Budgetary and financial management

                  1.

                  Welcomes the fact that the Agency’s annual accounts present fairly, in all material respects, its financial position as of 31 December 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the provisions of its Financial Regulation and the accounting rules adopted by the Commission’s accounting officer;

                  2.

                  Welcomes the fact that the transactions underlying the Agency’s annual accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 are legal and regular in all material respects;

                  3.

                  Takes note that the Court of Auditors did not make any critical remarks in its report;

                  4.

                  Acknowledges that in 2011, the Agency committed 100 % of the appropriations received; observes, however, that in terms of paid appropriations, the Agency’s execution rate stands at 75 % under Title II (Administrative expenditure) and at only 27 % under Title III (Operational expenditure); calls on the Agency to implement specific measures to improve its budgeting process and execution rate of payment in the case of administrative and operational expenditure;

         Human resources

                  5.

                  Notes that in 2012, there were three cases dealt with by the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding an allegation of psychological harassment, the rejection of an application for a post and the non-extension of a contract of an agent; notes that on 6 July 2011, the Ombudsman opened Case 0917/2011/(PMC) EIS, which is based on allegations regarding the failure to investigate properly the complainant’s allegations of psychological harassment and incorrect storage of documents;

                  6.

                  Notes that in one of the cases referred to in paragraph 5, the European Union Civil Service Tribunal decided in favour of the applicant (Case F-58/10, judgment of 18 September 2012) and annulled the Agency’s decision of 16 October 2009 not to bring disciplinary proceedings against two members of staff for alleged psychological harassment due to the lack of impartiality on the part of the investigator and his refusal to guarantee the anonymity of the witnesses and ordered it to pay damages to the applicant and the costs; notes that in case F-112/10, the Tribunal decided in favour of the Agency but the applicant brought an appeal before the General Court against the judgment; notes that judgement is pending in case F-38/12;

                  7.

                  Urges the Agency, given the risks at stake, as far as its reputation is concerned, to inform the discharge authority in detail on the rules of procedure, legal framework and hearing modalities established for the launch and conduction of internal investigations and the protection of witnesses’ anonymity in the occurrence of such internal investigations;

                  8.

                  Notes that in 2011, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) opened an investigation; requests that the Agency inform the discharge authority on the results of both the OLAF investigation and the Ombudsman case;

                  9.

                  Acknowledges that every two years, the Agency launches an anonymous well-being survey among staff; notes in particular from the 2012 survey that concerns have been raised regarding the handling of in-house conflicts and the attention paid to the well-being of the staff; takes note that the Agency introduced an anti-harassment policy and a network of confidential counsellors in order to minimise situations of conflict in the workplace and to address them in a comprehensive manner; urges the Agency to act on the recommendations made by the Court of Auditors with regard to the problems detected and to take all the necessary steps to ensure that these problems do not reoccur under any circumstances;

         Transparency

                  10.

                  Notes that on 12 and 14 December 2012, the Agency presented the draft rules on whistle blowing to its Executive Board and to its Management Board; notes that the decision was taken to adopt those rules formally after consultation with the Commission services; notes that in the meantime, the Agency adopted the principles of the Commission guidelines; calls on the Agency to inform the discharge authority on the implementation of the rules;

                  11.

                  Observes that some of the curricula vitae (CV) and the declarations of interest of the Management Board members are available on the Agency’s website; notes that as far as the Executive Director and the management team are concerned, only CVs are available; calls on the Agency to make the missing information publicly available and to inform the discharge authority of the progress made on this matter as soon as possible;

         Internal audit

                  12.

                  Notes from the Agency that it introduced a procurement procedure mitigating possible conflicts of interest and the internal audit services (IAS) audited the procedure and made nine recommendations, all of which have been introduced; notes that the IAS considered some of the actions introduced by the Agency to be good practices, in particular, the introduction of an IT application ‘tender contract maker’, developed by the Agency to generate standard documentation for the procurement process; notes that the budget module of the IT application ‘matrix’ used for the Agency project management has been coupled with the accounting records retrieved from accrual-based accounting, allowing a daily online update of the budgetary implementation;

                  13.

                  Refers, in respect of the other observations accompanying its Decision on discharge, which are of a horizontal nature, to its Resolution of 17 April 2013 (6) on the performance, financial management and control of the agencies.

86/151/EEC: Commission Decision of 29 April 1986 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain ball bearings originating in Thailand

Official Journal L 113 , 30/04/1986 P. 0061 - 0062

*****COMMISSION  DECISION  of 29 April 1986  terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain ball bearings originating in Thailand  (86/151/EEC)  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,  After consulting the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,  Whereas,  A. Procedure  1. In April 1985 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Federation of European Bearing Manufacturers' Associations (FEBMA) on behalf of British, French, German and Italian producers of ball bearings with greatest external diameter not more than 30 mm whose collective output constitutes the majority of Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of the proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the opening of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of ball bearings with greatest external diameter not more than 30 mm falling within Common Customs Tariff heading No ex 84.62, corresponding to NIMEXE code 84.62-01, originating in Thailand.  2. The Commission officially so advised the exporter and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.  3. One producer/exporter and its related importers in Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom made their views known in writing.  4. No submissions were made by Community purchasers of the product in question.  5. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of:  Exporter:  NMB (Thai) Limited, Amphoe Uthai/Ayuttaya / Thailand;  Importers:  - Nippon Miniature Bearing GmbH, Neu-Isenburg, Germany,  - NMB Italia srl, Bareggio, Italy,  - NMB (UK) Ltd., Bracknell, United Kingdom.  6. The investigation of dumping covered the period 1 April 1984 to 31 May 1985.  B. Normal value  7. For the purpose of establishing normal value the Commission had to take into account that NMB (Thailand) made no sales on the domestic Thai market. It was therefore concluded that the normal value for exports to the Community from Thailand should be established on the constructed value method laid down in Article 2 (3) (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84.  8. The normal value was computed by taking the company's total costs of materials and manufacture, including overheads of the manufacturing and corporate headquarters companies, and an amount representing normal selling costs in Thailand. A profit margin of 6 % was added which was considered to be reasonable in the light of the relevant industry's performance in Thailand during a representative profitable period.  In particular, the costs of materials included the costs paid by NMB (Thailand) to other firms of the NMB/Minebea group for the purchase of certain parts of ball bearings used in manufacture in Thailand. On the basis of information supplied by NMB the Commission was satisfied that the internal transfer prices for these parts corresponded to prices in the ordinary course of trade.  NMB (Thailand) claimed that no selling expenses should be included in the normal value computation because under the arrangement with the Thai Government, NMB (Thailand) was not authorized to sell the product in Thailand. It is considered, however, that an exclusion of selling expenses would be contrary to the provisions of Article 2 (3) (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84. It was therefore considered reasonable to include in the normal value an amount for selling expenses found for a major company operating in Thailand and selling a similar product.  C. Export price  9. Export prices were constructed on the basis of the prices at which the imported product was first resold to an independent buyer in the Community, suitably adjusted to take account of all costs incurred between importation and resale including customs duty, and of a profit margin of 6 %. This margin was considered reasonable in the light of the profit margins of independent importers of the product concerned and of other similar industrial products.  D. Dumping margin  10. A comparison between normal value and export prices has shown that on a transaction-by-transaction basis NMB (Thailand)'s exports to the Community of ball bearings with greatest external diameter not more than 30 mm were not made at dumped prices.  11. In view of the above the proceeding should be terminated,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Sole Article  The proceeding in connection with the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of ball bearings with greatest external diameter not more than 30 mm falling within Common Customs Tariff heading No ex 84.62, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 84.62-01, originating in Thailand, is hereby terminated.

               having regard to Article 319 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

               —

               having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (2), and in particular Article 185 thereof,

               having regard to Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002 of 19 November 2002 on the framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (4), and in particular Article 94 thereof,

               —

               having regard to Rule 77 of, and Annex VI to, its Rules of Procedure,

               —

               having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control (A7-0125/2012),

               A.

               whereas the Court of Auditors has stated that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts of the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union (‘the Centre’) for the financial year 2010 are reliable and that the underlying transactions are legal and regular,

               B.

               whereas on 10 May 2011 Parliament granted the Director of the Centre discharge for implementation of its budget for the financial year 2009 (5), and whereas in its resolution accompanying the discharge decision, inter alia, called on the Centre:

                           —

                           to further develop the evaluation of its performance by improving the links between its strategic actions and the actions envisaged in its Annual Work Programme and by reviewing the indicators for monitoring its performance in order to comply with SMART criteria,

                           —

                           to take more effective measures to remedy its constant rise in surplus; in 2009 the surplus amounted to EUR 24 000 000, whereas it was EUR 26 700 000 in 2008, EUR 16 900 000 in 2006, EUR 10 500 000 in 2005 and EUR 3 500 000 in 2004,

                           —

                           to inform the discharge authority of the steps put forward for making the ABAC accounting system effectively operational,

               C.

               whereas the Centre’s final budget for 2010 was EUR 55 928 077 compared with EUR 62 630 000 in 2009, which represents a decrease of 11,98 %,

               D.

               whereas the volume of translation in 2010 was the highest since the establishment of the Centre, representing an increase of 20,1 % of the number of translated pages compared to 2009,

      Budget and financial management

               1.

               Notes from the its Annual Activity Report (AAR) and its annual accounts for the financial year 2010 that the original budget of the Centre, EUR 48 100 000, was the subject of two amending budgets; acknowledges in particular that the purpose of the two amending budgets was twofold:

                           —

                           to include the budgetary surplus from previous years, of EUR 24 000 000, in order to pay the employers’ contributions to the Commission for pensions from 1998 -2009, namely a total sum of EUR 18 400 000 and to reimburse the Centre’s largest client agency, the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market, with the economic outturn for 2009, namely the sum of EUR 6 121 255,

                           —

                           to rebalance the budget with the sum of EUR 8 000 000, following a significant increase in client forecasts;

               2.

               Acknowledges from its AAR that, due to the higher total number of pages translated in 2010, the revenue of the Centre rose to EUR 51 200 000 in 2010, an increase of 13,71 % compared to 2009; notes also from its AAR that the Centre’s implementation rate of expenditure rose to EUR 43 040 000, i.e. 86,79 % of the appropriations, which represents an increase of 18,27 % compared to 2009;

               3.

               Recalls that, under Article 10 of its founding Regulation (EC) No 2965/94, the Centre revenue and expenditure shown in its budget must be balanced; notes that for the financial year 2010 the Centre’s accumulated 2009 surplus amounted to EUR 24 000 000; takes note, however, that principally through the transfer of funds to the Union’s pension scheme and the reimbursements to its clients, the Centre managed to reduce the aforementioned surplus to EUR 9 200 000; acknowledges moreover from the Centre that the Management Board decided in 2011 to use these EUR 9 200 000 to create a reserve for exceptional investment (EUR 4 300 000) and a reserve for price stabilisation (EUR 4 900 000);

               4.

               Welcomes the settlement of the long-lasting dispute between the Centre and the Commission on the question of the employer’s contribution to the Union’s pension scheme;

               5.

               Welcomes the above-mentioned decision of the Management Board, adopted in 2011, to create a reserve of EUR 4 300 000 for investments into an e-CDT programme to be realised over the years 2012-2013 and a reserve of EUR 4 900 000 for the stabilisation of the prices, in order to compensate for the potential decrease of its revenue due to the anticipated reduction of translation requests from its clients;

               6.

               Welcomes that following the request of the discharge authority the final annual accounts of the Centre for the financial year 2010 have been made publicly available on the Centre’s website;

      Procurement procedures

               7.

               Calls on the Centre to ensure compliance with Article 60 of its Financial Regulation by establishing financing decisions for operational expenditure; asks the Centre in particular to establish stronger controls in the process of procurement planning;

               8.

               Acknowledges from its AAR that the Centre launched two new procedures for the provision of translation/revision services in the rail and maritime fields;

               9.

               Notes also that a total of 47 framework contracts were signed;

      Human resources (HR)

               10.

               Acknowledges that, given that eight staff members with higher points were not promoted whereas some other staff in the same grade were promoted, Article 45 of its Staff Regulations was not respected, as additional discretionary elements were actually incorporated into the final decision to award promotion; notes the Centre’s statement according to which the Internal Audit Service (IAS) acknowledged that the decisions on career and promotion of officials and of temporary staff adopted by the Management Board on 7 February 2008 were subject to interpretation and that following the final IAS assessment on ‘Implementation of the staff promotion’, issued in September 2010, the Centre adapted its interpretation to the one of the IAS while the additional criteria which were previously used for promotion were abandoned;

               11.

               Acknowledges, in addition, from its AAR that the Centre conducted 22 selection procedures for temporary and contract staff, as well as two competitions for established posts in 2010;

               12.

               Notes that the Centre implemented a professional orientation service in order to identify possibilities for staff and enable mobility or career orientation;

      Performance

               13.

               Welcomes the Centre’s increase of its services, in terms of volume of translation, to the Union institutions compared to 2009, and notably the increase by 20,1 % of the number of translated documents, while its budget was reduced by 11,98 % compared to the previous year;

               14.

               Notes from the Centre’s AAR that in 2010 agreements were signed with six new clients, i.e. the Joint Undertakings Artemis, ENIAC, IMI and FCH, the European Asylum Support Office and the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators and first contacts were established with the European Banking Authority, the European Securities and Markets Authority and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority;

               15.

               Acknowledges from the Centre’s AAR that during the financial year 2010 around 55 % of the total volume of pages translated was outsourced; notes from its AAR that the Centre took steps to consolidate the management of its translation workflow in 2010 by merging the Demand Management and Freelance Management Sections; acknowledges, in particular, that an external study on validation of the ratio between works carried out internally and outsourcing has been completed and that the calculation model used by the Centre was validated;

               16.

               Welcomes the efforts of the Centre to improve the quality of translation; underlines the fact that 17 terminology projects were finalised until the end of 2010, which improved the terminology database; supports the Centre in organising training events for its translators, which helps to improve their productivity;

               17.

               Calls on the Centre to analyse the current data flow and tools used for budget planning and establish controls; notes, in this respect, that the Centre’s budget planning is based on excel tools and manual or system-based controls of data which could result in calculation errors and wrong expenditure planning, and ultimately have a negative impact on the Centre’s pricing;

               18.

               Encourages the Centre to apply minimum requirements for forecasting information and enhance the cooperation and exchange on forecasting with selected clients, in order to avoid overestimate of expenditure and pricing;

      Internal audit

               19.

               Notes that 12 ‘very important’ recommendations from the IAS were still open as at 31 December 2010; is concerned that the implementation of seven of those recommendations was delayed; acknowledges, in particular, that those delays concern the following important issues:

                           —

                           the quality of client forecast,

                           —

                           the disclosure of the 2008 exercise,

                           —

                           the assessment of the Internal Control System,

                     calls therefore on the Centre to explain those delays to the discharge authority and to remedy the situation;
