Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. Notes that the basis for the Court's qualified opinion on the legality and regularity of payments underlying the accounts were service requests and all associated payments made under two framework contracts signed in May 2018 for accommodation, shuttle and parking services and in January 2022 for travel services; notes that associated payments with a total value of €4.1 million did not constitute valid legal commitments as they were entered into without delegated authority; recalls the CEPOL’s response that despite weakness in the formalisation of the legal commitment, the services were ordered in line with CEPOL’s needs and controls and that no loss has been incurred; further notes the Court’s observation concerning weakness in the implementation of a framework contract for educational editorial services in 2022 and conclusion that all payments under this framework contract, which in 2022 amounted to €152 655 are irregular; recalls that CEPOL has taken corrective action to address the issues identified;
