Clarification on the application of procurement corrections in ESIF projects

Der Europäische Rechnungshof hat geantwortet, dass Sie eine andere öffentliche Körperschaft kontaktieren müssen.

Dear European Court of Auditors,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as
developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting:

1. A copy of the latest European Court of Auditors staff guidance which covers the
application of financial corrections for non-compliance with the rules on public procurement.

2. It is noted that the first and third lines of the guidance for applying financial corrections for non-compliance with the rules on public procurement identifies that the corrections only apply to irregularities (as defined at 2.36 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions) and where a requirement in the Commission Interpretative Communication dated 23.6.2006 is infringed (the interpretative communication covers the actions of contracting authorities as defined under the relevant directives which are involved in contracts below the OJEU thresholds, under Part B services under the 2004 Directive and in letting concessions in excess of the threshold). Please could you provide a list of all the corrections imposed, in respect of non-compliance with the purchase of goods, works and services in ESIF projects, ordered by the European Court of Auditors since 1.1.2014 which relate to breaches outside the scope of the definition of irregularity and to organisations outside the interpretative communication (for example they are not contracting authorities).

Yours faithfully,

Marcel Hopp

Dear Mr Hopp,

In the context of its audits of ESIF projects, the European Court of
Auditors (ECA) reports errors for non-compliance with rules on public
procurement, but does not apply financial corrections.

The European Commission is the competent authority to impose financial
corrections.

Therefore, the ECA does not have any staff guidance which covers the
application of financial corrections for non-compliance with the rules on
public procurement.

Kind regards,
