agreements/contracts with beneficiaries/contractors directly engaged in activities that serve Union policies. The Commission ensures direct monitoring over the outcome of the actions financed. The payment modalities of the actions funded will be adapted to the risks pertaining to the financial transactions.

In order to ensure the effectiveness, efficiency and economy of the Commission controls, the control strategy will be oriented towards a balance of ex-ante and ex-post checks and focus on three key stages of grant/contract implementation, in accordance with the Financial Regulation:

–Selection of proposals/tenders that fit the policy objectives of the Regulation;

–Operational, monitoring and ex-ante controls that cover project implementation, public procurement, pre-financing, interim and final payments;

–Ex-post controls at the beneficiaries’ sites will also be carried out, typically on a risk-based sample of transactions due to efficiency considerations.

The Directorate General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) is subject to administrative controls including budgetary control, annual reports by the European Court of Auditors and the Commission’s Internal Audit Service, the annual discharge for the execution of the EU budget and possible investigations conducted by OLAF to ensure that the resources allocated are put to proper use.

In accordance with the Commission’s Internal Control Framework 64 , DG SANTE has elaborated an internal control strategy which focusses on financial management and its compliance with the Financial Regulation, especially with regard to the five control objectives 65 and the main principles of cost-efficient and effective controls and anti-fraud measures. The strategy is an evolving document which is regularly updated and it is adopted by DG SANTE's Management Board.

The Director in charge of Risk Management and Internal Control (RMIC) of DG SANTE is responsible for co-ordinating the drafting, updating and communication of the control strategy to all staff concerned. To this end, the Director launches each year an annual assessment of the internal control system that feeds into the Annual Activity Report of DG SANTE.

2.2.2.Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them

Risk management is fully integrated into DG SANTE’s planning and control cycle. The most important risks are identified in the annual risk assessment exercise. The focus is on the residual risk exposure taking into account all measures already taken to mitigate the risk. The exercise closes with discussions at senior management level chaired by the Director General. The so-called “critical risks” are reported to the Commissioner together with an action plan to reduce them to an acceptable level. To monitor the implementation of the action plans, a progress report is prepared and communicated to the Commissioner in the context of the mid-term report.

DG SANTE integrated risk management into its budget implementation processes. Potential risks, issues or problems are identified in each step of the financial management process.

The implementation of the new Regulation focuses on the attribution of public procurement contracts as well as a number of grants for specific activities and organisations.

The public procurement contracts will mainly be concluded in areas such as IT product development and support and studies.

The main risks are the following:

• Risk of not fully achievening the objectives of the Regulation due to insufficient uptake or quality/delays in the implementation of the selected projects or contracts;

Risk of inefficient or non-economic use of funds awarded, both for grants (complexity of funding rules) and for procurement (limited number of economic providers with the required specialist knowledge entailing insufficient possibilities to compare price offers in some sectors);

• Reputational risk for the Commission, if fraud or criminal activities are discovered; only partial assurance can be drawn from the third parties' internal control systems as contractors and beneficiaries are each operating their own control system.

The Commission put in place internal procedures that aim at covering the risks identified above. The internal procedures are in full compliance with the Financial Regulation and include anti-fraud measures and cost-benefit considerations. Within this framework, the Commission continues to explore possibilities to enhance the management and to realise efficiency gains. Main features of the control framework are the following:

Controls before and during the implementation of the projects:

• An appropriate project management system will be put in place focusing on the contributions of projects and contracts to the policy objectives, ensuring a systematic involvement of all actors, establishing a regular project management reporting complemented by on-site-visits on a case by case basis, including risk reports to senior management, as well as maintaining appropriate budgetary flexibility.

• Model grant agreements and service contracts used are developed within the Commission. They provide for a number of control provisions such as audit certificates, financial guarantees, on-site audits as well as inspections by OLAF. The rules governing the eligibility of costs are being simplified, for example, by using unit costs, lump sums, contributions not linked to costs and other possibilities offered by the Financial Regulation. This will reduce the cost of controls and put the focus on checks and controls in high risk areas.

• All staff sign up to the code of good administrative behaviour. Staff who are involved in the selection procedure or in the management of the grant agreements/contracts (also) sign a declaration of absence of a conflict of interest. Staff is regularly trained and uses networks to exchange best practices.

• Technical implementation of a project is checked at regular intervals at the desk on the basis of technical progress reports of the contractors and beneficiaries; in addition contractors'/beneficiaries' meetings and on-site-visits are foreseen on a case by case basis.

Controls at the end of the project: Ex-post audits are performed on a sample of transactions to verify on-the-spot the eligibility of cost claims. The aim of these controls is to prevent, detect and correct material errors related to the legality and regularity of financial transactions. With a view to achieving a high control impact, the selection of beneficiaries to be audited may combine a risk based selection with a random sampling. Attention to operational aspects will be paid whenever possible during the on-site audit.

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)

The Commission’s and DG SANTE’s internal control strategies take into consideration the main cost drivers, and the efforts already taken over several years to reduce the cost of controls, without compromising the effectiveness of controls. The existing control systems proved to be able to prevent and/or to detect errors and/or irregularities, and in case of errors or irregularities, to correct them.

2.3.Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities

Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the Anti-Fraud Strategy.

Article 325 of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union (TFEU) requires the EU and its Member States to combat fraud and any other illegal activities that may affect the EU’s financial interests. According to Article 317 of the TFEU and Article 36 of the Financial Regulation 66 , the EU Commission implements the EU budget, in compliance with sound financial management principles, applying effective and efficient internal control 67 , which includes preventing, detecting, correcting, and following up on fraud and irregularities.

As for its activities in direct management, the Commission shall take appropriate measures ensuring that the financial interests of the European Union are protected by the application of preventive measures against fraud, corruption and any other illegal activities, by effective checks and, if irregularities are detected, by the recovery of the amounts wrongly paid and, where appropriate, by effective, proportional and deterrent penalties. To this effect, the Commission adopted an anti-fraud strategy, latest update of April 2019 (COM(2019) 196) with the revised Action Plan of July 2023 (COM(2023) 405). DGs and executive agencies have developed and implemented their own anti-fraud strategies on the basis of the methodology provided by OLAF. In general, these are updated every three years and their implementation is monitored and reported to the management on a regular basis.

For budget implementation under direct management, the Commission also implements a series of measures such as:

- decisions, agreements and contracts resulting from the implementation of the Regulation will expressly entitle the Commission, including OLAF, and the Court of Auditors to conduct audits, on-the-spot checks and inspections and to recover amounts unduly paid and, where appropriate, impose administrative sanctions;

- during the evaluation phase of a call for proposals/tender, the applicants and tenderers are checked against the published exclusion criteria based on declarations and the Early Detection and Exclusion System (EDES);

- the rules governing the eligibility of costs will be simplified in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Regulation;

- regular training and awareness raising on issues related to fraud and irregularities is given to all staff involved in contract management as well as to auditors and controllers who verify the beneficiaries' declarations on the spot.

The assurance building process of the Authorising Officer by Delegation (AOD) is based on the capacity of the control systems in place to detect significant and/or repetitive deficiencies. The control systems are composed of different elements: supervision and verification of operations, ex-ante verifications, ex-post controls, and audits of the Internal Audit Service and the European Court of Auditors, as well as the health and food audits performed by DG SANTE in EU Member States and third countries. All actors involved play an essential role in fraud prevention and detection.

(27) The measure of maximum 9h journey times for animals for slaughter is in line with EU rules on social rights of drivers, which foresee maximum 9h when there is only one driver. The measure for animals transported for other purposes also allows alignment with the EU legislation on social rights of drivers, in the case where there are two drivers. Indeed, for two drivers, the EU legislation on social rights of drivers provides for a maximum 19h of drive. Since journey times in this proposal includes loading and unloading the animals (and estimating 1h of time for loading the animals and 1h for unloading), this corresponds to the maximum journey time of 21h.

1.Space allowance for transport by road, by rail, or by sea, including transport in containers is calculated using the following allometric equation:

A = kW(2/3),

whereby: A=area per animal [m2 or cm2 for transport of birds and rabbits in containers], W=live weight [kg], k= k-value (specific to species/category, as laid down in tables below).

2.Space allowance in area per animal [m2] during transport by road, by rail, or by sea, shall comply at least with the figures below:

The width of the individual stall shall be in total at least 40 cm greater than the width of the animal at its widest point.

ANNEX II

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR THE TRANSPORT OF AQUATIC ANIMALS

As referred to in Articles 2, 18, 33, 44 and 47

1.Design and maintenance of means of transport

1.1Means of transport and containers used for transport of aquatic animals shall be appropriate to the species, size, weight and number of animals to be transported.

1.2Means of transport and containers shall be maintained in good mechanical and structural condition to prevent damages of the vehicle that may directly or indirectly affect the welfare of transported aquatic animals.

1.3Means of transport and containers shall ensure adequate circulation of water and equipment for oxygenation as required to meet variations in the conditions during the journey and the needs of the animals being transported, including the closing of valves in well boats for biosecurity reasons.

1.4The aquatic animals shall be accessible to inspection during the journey in order to ensure that their welfare can be assessed.

1.5The means of transport and containers shall allow for inspection and monitoring of the relevant parameters and take corrective measures when necessary.

2.Handling

2.1Aquatic animals shall not be lifted by their gills.

2.2The handling equipment shall be designed, constructed, and maintained to minimise physical injuries.

3.Water

3.1Operators shall ensure water quality that is appropriate for the species being transported and method of transportation.

3.2Operators shall ensure the monitoring and maintenance of the following water parameters within the limits according to the species-specific needs during the whole journey:

(a)Oxygen;

(b)Carbon dioxide;

(c)Ammonia level;

(d)Temperature.

4.Fitness for transport

4.1.The ability of the aquatic animals to cope with the stress of transport shall be assessed based on health status, previous handling, and recent transport history.

4.2.The main reasons for considering aquatic animals as not fit for transport are:

(a)displaying clinical signs of disease;

(b)significant physical injuries or abnormal behaviour;

(c)recent exposure to stressors that adversely affect behaviour or physiological state (for example extreme temperatures, chemical agents);

(d)insufficient or excessive length of fasting.

5.Loading practices

5.1.Operators shall take the necessary measures to avoid any injury and unnecessary stress to aquatic animals during loading.

5.2.At loading, the following shall be assessed:

(a)crowding procedure prior to loading;

(b)inappropriately constructed or operated equipment;

(c)significant changes in the water quality such as different temperature or other water parameters.

5.3.Operators shall ensure the density of aquatic animals in a vehicle and/or container is maintained within the appropriate limits taking into account the species specific needs and the scientific data available.

5.4.Loading shall be carried out by operators with knowledge and experience of the behaviour and other characteristics of the aquatic animals with the aim to ensure their welfare.

6.During transport

6.1.Periodic inspections should take place during the transport to verify that acceptable welfare is being maintained.

6.2.Drivers or attendants shall monitor the water quality and make the necessary adjustments to ensure the parameters enumerated in point 3.2 are maintained within the appropriate limits taking into account the species-specific needs.

6.3.Drivers shall travel in a manner that minimises uncontrolled movements of the aquatic animals that may lead to stress and cause injury.

6.4.In the event of health emergency during transport, the driver or an attendant shall initiate the contingency plan.

6.5.If the killing of aquatic animals is necessary during the transport, the driver or the attendant shall be trained and capable to perform the killing with prior stunning so that animals remain unconscious until death.

7.Unloading practices

7.1.The principles of good handling during loading apply equally during unloading.

7.2.Operators shall unload the aquatic animals as soon as possible after arrival at the destination, allowing sufficient time to avoid causing any harm to the animals.

7.3.Operators shall consider enough time for acclimatisation of some species depending on their needs and before being unloaded into water of a significantly different quality (such as temperature, salinity, pH).

7.4.Operators shall remove moribund or seriously injured aquatic animals and kill them using an appropriate method suitable for the species and size of the animal and preventing unnecessary suffering.

8.Post transport practices

8.1.The operator in charge of receiving the aquatic animals shall closely observe them during the post-transport period and keep appropriate records.

8.2.Aquatic animals showing abnormal clinical signs shall either be isolated and examined by a veterinarian, who may recommend treatment, or killed using a method suitable for the species and size of the animal and preventing unnecessary suffering.

8.3.Operators shall evaluate significant problems associated with transport and take mitigation measures to prevent recurrence.
