Amendment 19 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital P
P. whereas the fragmentation of the relevant legal frameworks between the Union’s administration leads to significant duplication of efforts as regards establishing and maintaining internal rules as well as non-interoperable administrative practices; whereas, for Union citizens, the diversity of these rules increases the risks of misunderstanding, misinterpreting and non-compliance, while implying higher costs for people businesses and EU institutions in the form of lost time and resources; whereas the negative consequences of the current regulatory gaps are likely to worsen over time due to increased digitalisation and the growing number of EU agencies; whereas establishing a basic and general reference framework of European law on administrative procedure for the Union’s administration would create an administrative environment with uniform principles, standardised rules and implemented best practices, whereas that does not preclude the existence of sector- specific rules as it is also known at national level; whereas, moreover, laying down European law on administrative procedure is consistent with the requirement to act with due respect for the autonomy or competences of each Union institution and body, which will remain fully in place;

Amendment 27 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital W
W. whereas the development of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and automated decision making systems (ADMSs), can play an important role in the modernisation and improvement of the functioning of public administration provided that the technologies used have a high degree of reliability and of trustworthiness; whereas the possibility of recourse to such new technologies by public administration, including the Union’s administration, should, however, be limited by the principle of legality and the need to ensure the respect for citizens’ rights; whereas use of new technologies, such as AI and ADMSs may pose specific problems for the principle of good administration and right to legal review and therefore requires particular analysis with regard to elements such as transparency, accountability, compliance and non-discrimination, by addressing the risk of algorithmic bias;

Amendment 30 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital X
X. whereas the risks of using artificial intelligence and machine learning, in particular in the context of the Union’s administration where a significant power gap can exist between citizens and the administration, should be acknowledged; whereas therefore the use of machine learning by the Union’s administration should be limited to the collection, organisation, structuring, conversion, combination and adaptation of data, such as optical character recognition, object recognition or speech-to-text;

Amendment 33 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital Z
Z. whereas in the past, software developed for the purposes of public administration has often been closed- source, meaning that despite paying for it, citizens cannot audit or reuse the code; whereas it is worth recognising that the Union’s administration develops, publishes and uses open-source code for software, which contributes to the fulfilment of the ‘public money - public code’ principle; whereas this principle promotes reuse and improvement of existing code to bring down the costs of developing software and hence the cost of digitalisation; whereas therefore the use of open-source software by the Union’s administration should be continuously encouraged16 ; _________________ 16 https://commission.europa.eu/about- european-commission/departments-and- executive-agencies/informatics/open- source-software- strategy_en#opensourcesoftwarestrategydeleted

Amendment 83 #
Motion for a resolution
Annex I – Recommendation 3 – paragraph 1 – point iii
(iii) when outsourcing, rather than having calls for proposals for monolithic mega-projects that only a few large companies are able to bid for, and that run a higher risk of being delayed and running over budget, public procurement procedures for the digitalisation of projects and processes should be subdivided into calls for proposals for smaller projects, in order to make digitalisation contracts more accessible to SMEs;
