2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES

2.1.Monitoring and reporting rules

Specify frequency and conditions.

This Legislative Financial Statement includes staff expenditure, procurement and possibly administrative arrangements. Standard rules for this type of expenditure apply.

2.2.Management and control system(s)

2.2.1.Justification of the management mode(s), the funding implementation mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed

The management mode for the initiative is direct management by the Commission. The Commission will be assisted by an Expert Group with member states representatives and stakeholders: the Ecodesign Forum. The Commission will also be assisted by a Committee.

Overall, the initiative requires staff expenditure, procurement and possibly administrative arrangements. Standard rules for this type of expenditure apply.

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

Overall, the initiative requires staff expenditure, procurement and possibly administrative arrangements. Standard rules for this type of expenditure apply.

Most aspects of the initiative follow standard procedures for procuring technical support, involving stakeholders and the adoption of secondary legislation. The main risk, already illustrated in the past, is insufficient human resources to implement working plans. There is also the risk of court challenges to product legislation adopted.

New risks may arise due to novel aspects of the SPI framework, including the establishment and operation of the Digital Product Passport and requirements affecting, directly or indirectly, supply chains outside the EU.

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)

Overall, the initiative requires staff expenditure, procurement and possibly administrative arrangements. Standard rules for this type of expenditure apply.

2.3.Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities

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

Overall, the initiative requires staff expenditure, procurement and possibly administrative arrangements. Standard rules for this type of expenditure apply.

The main fraud risk relates to deliberate circumvention of the product requirements by economic operators. Preventing this relies on strengthening market surveillance activities and custom controls.
