Paragraph 3
3. Notes therefore that, for five months, from 22 May 2010 to October 2010, the Agency covered the façade of its building with a green façadestructure, the planning, design, assembly and management of which cost EUR 294 641 and that the contract was realised by the companies Ramboll, as general contractor, and Green Fortune; is surprised that there has been no public tender; demands from the Agency’s Director details on how the companies were chosen as contractors; takes note from the Agency's Director, in her letter of 11 April 2012, that these costs were covered by the budget lines '2140 - Fitting- out of premises' (EUR 180 872) and '3323 - Communications' (EUR 113 769); underlines that the commitment appropriations under budget line 2140 increased from EUR 85 000 to EUR 271 049 against the opinion of the Agency's Head of Administration; notes that also in May 2010 the Head of Administration entered into sick leave and since then the position is occupied by an interim Head; notes from the Director's letter of 30 April 2012 that budget line 2140 has been reinforced by a budget transfer of EUR 180 872 from the budget line '2100 - Rent'; recalls that in December 2009 the Agency paid the rent for Q1 2010, thus avoiding reducing the amount to be repaid to the Commission; therefore calls on the Agency to explain the discharge authority why it has extracted EUR 180 872 from the budget line 'Rent', while rent is a fixed sum by contract, and to provide information and written evidence on the procedures with regards to the budgetary transfers; expects the Agency to complete all the requested actions by the end of August 2012;
