2.2.2. Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them
Potential service providers within framework contracts are regarded as low-risk contractors. Potential risks would therefore be covered by the existing mechanisms of the Financial Regulation and mitigated by the set of internal controls of DG MOVE (systematic ex ante legal and financial controls, ex post audits of expenditure as defined in the yearly audit work plans). As regards the reimbursement of expert costs, the key controls mitigating the inherent risks as regards the accuracy and validity of the claims are addressed through the use of AGM, an online tool for planning, organising and handling reimbursement of costs for meeting involving external experts. Appropriate controls will also be put in place to mitigate the potential risk of conflict of interest.
2.2.3. Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio of "control costs ÷ value of the related funds managed"), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure)
Considering the limited scope and amount of EU funding to be provided, and since recipients of EU funds are regarded as low-risk, it is expected that this initiative will not cause control costs to go beyond the existing cost of controls of DG MOVE. The risk of error at payment and at closure is expected to remain under 2%.
2.3. Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities
Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the Anti-Fraud Strategy.
The regular Commission prevention and protection measures would apply, specifically:
- Payments for any services are checked by the Commission staff prior to payment, taking into account any contractual obligations, economic principles and good financial or management practice. Anti-fraud provisions (supervision, reporting requirements, etc.) will be included in all grant agreements and contracts concluded between the Commission and recipients of any payments.
- To combat fraud, corruption and other unlawful activities the provisions of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 883/2013 concerning investigations conducted by the European Anti-fraud Office (OLAF) and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) established by Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 shall apply without restriction.
The Commission further maintains a robust antifraud strategy, CAFS, currently under revision.
DG MOVE adopted a revised Anti-fraud Strategy (AFS) in 2020. The MOVE AFS is based on the Commission Anti-fraud Strategy and a specific risk assessment carried out internally to identify the areas most vulnerable to fraud, the controls already in place and the actions necessary to improve DG MOVE’s capacity to prevent, detect and correct fraud.
The contractual provisions applicable to public procurement ensure that audits and on-the-spot checks can be carried out by the Commission services, including OLAF, using the standard provisions recommended by OLAF.
