In order to face these tasks, it is necessary to appropriately resource the Commission’s services. The enforcement of the new Regulation is estimated to require 11 FTEs; 4-5 FTEs for legal work, 4-5 FTEs for focusing on the technical work, and 2 FTE for coordination and international outreach and administrative support.
2.2.2.Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them
One of the main issues leading to shortcomings of the current legislative framework is the lack of harmonisation of national systems. To overcome this problem in the current initiative, there will be a heavy reliance on reference standards and technical specifications to be defined in implementing acts.
The Commission will be supported by an expert group in the development of these implementing acts. Furthermore, the Commission will work together with Member States already now to agree on the technical nature of the future system, to prevent further fragementation during the negoitation of the proposal.
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)
For the meeting expenditure of the expert group, given the low value per transaction (e.g. refunding travel costs for a delegate for a meeting if the meeting is physical), standard internal control procedures seem sufficient.
Also for pilot projects to be carried out under DEP, normal DG CNECT standard procedures should be sufficient.
2.3.Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities
Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the Anti-Fraud Strategy.
The existing fraud prevention measuers applicable to the Commission will cover the additional appropriations necessary for this Regulation.
