Amendment 1 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Notes with concern from the Court’s report that the Centre did not apply the proper method for calculating the contributions for Iceland and Norway similarly to 2019; notes that the Cedefop- EFTA cooperation agreement states that EFTA cooperation partners contribute at a level determined by the proportion of their GNP to the total GNP of the EEA and that Norway’s and Iceland’s contributions in the initial budget were calculated according to the proportion of their GDP (2,27 % for Norway and 0,14 % for Iceland) to the GDP of the EU Members of the EEA, not to the total GNP of the EEA; notes that, as a result, Norway and Iceland contributed EUR 8 601 less to the Centre’s 2020 budget than they should have done and that the Union contributed EUR 8 601 more; notes that, although payment appropriations and revenues were reduced by EUR 1 100 000 in the first 2020 budget amendment, no part of the budget reduction was returned to Norway and Iceland, thus they contributed EUR 25 886 more in 2020; notes that the implementation of the correct method for calculating contributions is still ongoing despite the recommendations on the method for calculating contributions made by the Court of Auditors in 2019;
Amendment 2 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 a (new) 4 a. Welcomes that the Centre accomplished and even exceeded its work plan and the targets and deliverables set therein for 2020 despite the challenges caused by the pandemic;
Amendment 3 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 b (new) 4 b. Notes with satisfaction the good cooperation of the Centre with ETF and Eurofund; notes that the three Agencies have an observer role in each other’s Management Board meetings; notes further that the Centre and ETF also collaborate within the framework of the inter-agency working group with the OECD, the ILO, UNESCO and other international organisations;
Amendment 4 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Notes th
Amendment 5 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 a (new) 6 a. Encourages the Centre to pursue the development of a long term Human Resources policy framework which addresses work-life balance, lifelong guidance and career development, gender balance, geographical balance and the recruitment and integration of people with disabilities; welcomes the Centre's proactive approach to the implementation of telework over the last few years;
Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 10. Notes the Centre’s existing measures and ongoing efforts to secure transparency, prevention and management of conflicts of interest and whistle-blower protection; points out however, that the Centre’s Management Board consists of 94 members (including observers) and 63 alternates; notes that the Centre reported on 28 June 2021 that 93 out of 157 CVs are published on the Centre’s website; notes the absence of some declarations of interest and CVs of the management board and reiterates that all members and alternates who attend management board meetings, or exercise the right to vote, must submit a
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 a (new) 10 a. Deplores the high number of members of the Board (157) which does not facilitate decision-making and simplified management; recalls that according to Cedefop’s Founding regulation, members of Cedefop’s Management Board are obliged to publish their declaration of interest; recalls that Management Board members are also invited to provide short CVs, though this is not a formal requirement;
Amendment 8 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 a (new) 13 a. Calls on the Centre to continue to develop its synergies, increase cooperation and exchange of good practices with other Union agencies with a view to improve efficiency (human resources, building management, IT services and security etc);
Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 b (new) 13 b. Recalls the importance to increase the digitalisation of the Centre in terms of internal operation and management but also in order to speed up the digitalisation of procedures; stresses the need for the Centre to continue to be proactive in this regard in order to avoid a digital gap between the agencies at all costs; draws attention, however, to the need to take all the necessary security measures to avoid any risk to the online security of the processed information;
