REPORT on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union for the financial year 2019
Amendments (2)
Amendment 12 #
10. Notes with concern that, although the Centre is not fee-financed, it depends on revenue received from its clients (the Centre has stated that 99,2 % of its income comes from fees paid by its clients), who are represented on the Centre’s management board, and that there is therefore an inherent risk of conflicts of interest regarding the pricing of the Centre’s products; notes that the Centre, as a mitigating measure for the budgetary consequences of such conflicts of interest, maintains a budgetary reserve (‘reserve for the stability of prices’) in order to balance the budget in the event of unforeseen events or reduced demand; notes that this is primarily a reactive measure and encourages the Centre to also develop preventive measures, making sure fair pricing is maintained for all the Centre’s clients;
