Amendment 1 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 1.
Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13.
Amendment 11 #
14 a. Notes from the Annual Activity Report 2021, in terms of gender balance, that no significant increase of female participation, of female project coordinators in H2020 projects and of female members in advisory groups, expert groups, evaluation panels, individual experts, etc. was achieved compared to the previous year; notes with regret that the share of women participants in H2020 projects has actually decreased compared to the previous year from 30% to 29% in 2021; Notes with regret that according to the Joint Undertaking's Annual Report for 2021, the gender balance on the Administrative Board (1 Woman, 27 Men) is in great need of improvement; regrets these figures and calls for increased efforts in terms of gender balance;
Amendment 12 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 a (new) 14 a. Notes with concern that during the period from 2018 to 2021 the average annual rate of interim staff for all Joint Undertakings remained high at around 11 % of statutory staff; recalls that the high level of contractual staff tends to increase significantly the JU’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;
Amendment 13 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 16 16.
Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 a (new) 17 a. 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 15 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 19.
Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 19. Notes, from the Annual Activity Report. that the decrease in the error rates in 2021 could be due, among other reasons, to the beneficiaries’ increased knowledge of the eligibility rules and the inherent learning curve, as well as to the results of the communication campaigns, targeted webinars and training, addressed in particular to newcomers and SMEs; stresses that the error rates should be treated with caution, as they may change subject to the availability of additional data from audit results.
Amendment 17 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 a (new) 20 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 H2020 rules 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 Court including exploring the options of simplified forms of costs such as unit costs, lump sums and flat rates.
Amendment 18 #
23.
Amendment 19 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 28 28.
Amendment 2 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2.
Amendment 3 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 a (new) 2 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 3 a (new) 3 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;
