Amendment 1 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 1.
Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 a (new) 19 a. Notes from the 2021 Annual Activity Report that there is an appropriate gender balance, with 64% women at Programme Office level, 46% in the States Representatives Group (including alternates), 57% in the Scientific Committees; Encourages the Joint Undertaking to maintain and improve this gender balance;
Amendment 11 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 b (new) 19 b. notes that the part of the employers' contributions for the staff of the Joint Undertakings corresponding to the ratio of their non-EU subsidised revenues to their total revenues, has not been paid by the Joint Undertakings to the EU pension scheme since 2016, as the Commission has neither foreseen this expenditure in the budget of the Joint Undertakings nor formally requested the payments; calls for the Commission to take steps to avoid similar issues in the future.
Amendment 12 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 22 22.
Amendment 13 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 23 23.
Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 27.
Amendment 15 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 a (new) 27 a. Emphasises that the Court’s finding confirmed persistent systemic errors for declared personnel costs and that in particular, SMEs and new beneficiaries are more error-prone than other beneficiaries. Highlights that these errors are also regularly reported in Court’s previous annual reports since 2017; emphasises therefore that streamlining of the H2020rules for the declaration of personnel costs and wider use of simplified cost options is a precondition to stabilise error rates to below materiality level; emphasises that JU should strengthen its internal control systems to address the increased risk regarding SMEs and new beneficiaries and strongly encourage the use of the Personnel Costs Wizard by certain categories of beneficiaries that are more prone to errors, such as SMEs and new beneficiaries; welcomes that in 2022 all Joint Undertakings have started implementing actions for error rate reductions in line with the action proposed by the ECA including exploring the options of simplified forms of costs such as unit costs, lump sums and flat rates.
Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 30 30. Notes that, at the end of 2021 a total of 11 risks were identified and described in the Risk Register with varying degrees of importance, convergence and inter-dependency;
Amendment 17 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 31 31.
Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 32 32.
Amendment 2 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 a (new) 1 a. Acknowledges that Horizon Europe envisages ambitious goals for the Joint Undertaking, that can only be achieved if effective solutions that address the weaknesses in the internal control systems and prepare for the future challenges arising from increased responsibilities, e.g. in the area of human resources management and planning, are designed and implemented; points out, in this context, that particularly complicated and burdensome calculations and reporting requirements represent a significant risk of error and calls therefore, to explore the possibilities of simplifications wherever possible and compatible with the existing legal framework;
Amendment 3 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 a (new) 1 a. Notes that there is no harmonised definition of "administrative costs" among the Joint Undertakings, which is a basis for calculating the financial contributions of its members and a precondition for the purpose of comparable figures; calls with this in mind for common guidelines for all Joint Undertakings to take a harmonised approach for the classification of certain administrative cost expenditure categories, such as expenditure for consultations, studies, analysis, evaluations, and technical assistance;
Amendment 4 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 a (new) 2 a. Notes with regret that, according to the Court of Auditors' report for 2021, the implementation rate for the Joint Undertaking’s 2021 payment budget available for Horizon 2020 projects was only 71 % due to external factors such as the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the unexpected termination of a large Horizon 2020 project after the main beneficiary went bankrupt in 2021;
Amendment 5 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9.
Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution Subheading 3 a (new) Acknowledges that, according to its annual activity report, the number of women on the Governing Board has increased from 20% in the previous year to 30% by the end of 2021; encourages the Joint Undertaking to make further efforts to achieve gender balance on the Governing Board;
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 14.
Amendment 8 #
17.
Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 a (new) 19 a. Notes with concern that the average annual rate of interim staff remained high, representing 19 % of statutory staff; recalls that the high level of contractual staff tends to increase significantly the Joint Undertaking’s staff turnover rate and further destabilises the staffing situation; emphasises, moreover, that the use of interim staff should remain a temporary solution or it could negatively affect the JU’s overall performance, such as the retention of key competences, unclear accountability channels, possible judicial disputes and lower staff efficiency; reminds that the JU should develop a formalised model or guidance on how to estimate staff needs (including essential competences), with the objective of optimising the use of staff resources.
