14. Notes from the Court’s report that the Joint Undertaking has not planned to use all the modules of the e Procurement platform due to its low number of high value procurement procedures; nevertheless, in line with the principle of a single electronic data exchange, foreseen by the Financial Regulation, invites the Joint Undertaking to join the Commission’s e Procurement solution in order to ensure the competition on the broadest possible basis; notes that the Joint Undertaking made to the most possible extent use of the various Service Level Agreements already concluded with relevant Commission Services, as well as its private members and made use of inter- institutional framework contracts, and that in 2020, the Joint Undertaking run very few procurement procedures mainly for low value contracts, as well as one re- opening of competition;
Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20 a (new)
Paragraph 20 a (new)
20 a. Emphasises that the Court’s finding confirmed persistent systemic errors for declared personnel costs and that in particular, SMEs and new beneficiaries are more error-prone than other beneficiaries. Highlights that these errors are also regularly reported by the ex post audits of the CAS and its contracted auditors; emphasises, therefore, that streamlining of the Horizon 2020 rules for the declaration of personnel costs and wider use of simplified cost options is a precondition to stabilise error rates to below materiality level. Encourages the Joint Undertaking to strengthen its internal control systems to address the increased risk regarding SMEs and new beneficiaries;
