Punkt 6 c) der Tagesordnung
Auswärtige und außerordentliche Tätigkeiten des Europäischen Ausschusses der Regionen 2015
Einführung
Gemäß der Regelung Nr. 012/2014 über die Sitzungen und Tätigkeiten der Mitglieder des
Europäischen Ausschusses der Regionen und nach Kenntnisnahme der Stellungnahme der
Kommission für Finanz- und Verwaltungsfragen (CAFA) genehmigt das Präsidium zu Anfang des
Jahres die allgemeine Planung der Sitzungen und thematischen Tätigkeiten der Arbeitsorgane,
Fraktionen, gemischten beratenden Ausschüsse, Arbeitsgruppen und sonstigen politischen Gremien
des Ausschusses. Diese umfasst eine Schätzung der Kosten für jede der aufgeführten Tätigkeiten.
Einige Sitzungen und Tätigkeiten bedürfen allerdings der vorherigen Genehmigung durch das
Präsidium. Das Präsidium fasst unter Berücksichtigung der verfügbaren Haushaltsmittel und nach
Kenntnisnahme der Stellungnahme der Kommission für Finanz- und Verwaltungsfragen einen
entsprechenden Beschluss.
In folgenden Fällen ist die vorherige Genehmigung durch das Präsidium und die CAFA zwingend
vorgeschrieben:
1. für auswärtige Sitzungen der Plenarversammlung im Rahmen eines Gipfeltreffens der Regionen
und Städte (Regelung 012/2014 Artikel 1 Absatz 2),
2. für auswärtige Sitzungen von Arbeitsgruppen (a.a.O., Artikel 1 Absatz 8),
3. für auswärtige Sitzungen sonstiger politischer Gremien (a.a.O., Artikel 1 Absatz 9),
4. für Ausnahmen von den allgemeinen Regelungen für die Durchführung von Sitzungen (a.a.O.,
Artikel 1 Absätze 1-9),
5. für Tätigkeiten, deren Kosten die zu Beginn des Jahres zugewiesenen Mittel überschreiten (a.a.O.,
Artikel 4 Absatz 3),
6. für zusätzliche, in der Regelung 012/2014 nicht aufgeführte Tätigkeiten (ebenda, Artikel 4
Abs. 4),
7. für mehr als drei Redner bei auswärtigen Sitzungen und Seminaren mit einer Höchstgrenze von
fünf Rednern (siehe Präsidiumsbeschluss vom 30. März 2011, R/CdR 141/2011).
In der Tabelle auf den folgenden Seiten sind auswärtige bzw. außerordentliche Tätigkeiten aufgeführt,
die für 2015 geplant sind und für die nach der Regelung eine vorherige Genehmigung vorgeschrieben
ist. Aus Gründen der Transparenz ist eine Aufschlüsselung der geschätzten Ausgaben für jede der
COR-2015-03204-06-01-NB-TRA (EN) 2/33
Tätigkeiten beigefügt. Bei Tätigkeiten, die nach der Regelung 012/2014 zusätzlich zu begründen sind,
werden außerdem die von den Sekretariaten vorgelegten Begründungen aufgeführt.
Eine allgemeine Übersicht über die geplanten auswärtigen und außerordentlichen Tätigkeiten
(laufendes Programm) wird von der Verwaltung ständig aktualisiert und ist ab 2015 im Intranet des
AdR zugänglich.
VORSCHLAG:
Die Präsidiumsmitglieder werden gebeten, die in der folgenden Tabelle aufgeführten
Tätigkeiten zu billigen.

Für 2015 wurden die durchschnittlichen Reise- und Aufenthaltskosten der Mitglieder mit 1 490 EUR pro Mitglied pro Tag veranschlagt. Zusätzlich wird eine Zulage für zweitägige Sitzungen in Höhe von 303 EUR pro Teilnehmer
angesetzt.
Für 2015 wurden die Kosten für die Verdolmetschung gemäß den Richtlinien des SCIC und des EP zur Zahl der für die gewählte Sprachenregelung erforderlichen Dolmetscher auf 446 EUR pro Slot pro Dolmetscher geschätzt, wobei
bei auswärtigen Sitzungen 1,25 Slots für die Reise hinzukommen. Die Zahl der Dolmetscher pro Kabine kann je nach Sprachenregelung variieren. Bei den Berechnungen wurde im Allgemeinen davon ausgegangen, dass bei sechs
oder weniger Kabinen jede Kabine mit zwei Dolmetschern und bei sieben oder mehr Kabinen jede Kabine mit drei Dolmetschern besetzt ist.
Die durchschnittlichen Kosten für die Miete von Dolmetschkabinen wurden mit 1 500 EUR pro Kabine pro Sitzungstag veranschlagt.

1.2
Nature of the initiative/proposal
ARLEM members decided at the 6th ARLEM plenary meeting held on 15 December 2014 in Antalya,
Turkey, to merge the two ARLEM commission into one commission named "Commission for
Sustainable Territorial Development". This commission is to meet once in 2015 to discuss the two
thematic reports of ARLEM (on "A sustainable urban agenda for the Mediterranean region" and on
"Employment and regional development in the Mediterranean region").
1.3
Objectives, connection with the Annual Management Plan, with a CoR resolution/decision /

One ARLEM commission meeting per year is explicitly mentioned in the management plan. The work

which was adopted on 3-4 December 2014 (CIVEX-V-048). Regular meetings are expected to
continue and strengthen ARLEM as a political assembly and the reports to be treated at this meeting

EPP external group meeting "Making EU investments work in regions and cities"
21 October 2015
Madrid (ES)
Requesting consumer/service:
Date of the request:
EPP group
11 June 2015
Background information/Motivation
The CoR's EPP group wishes to organise a second external group meeting in the framework of the
European People's Party 2015 Statutory Congress in Madrid. The title of the event is "Making EU
investments work in regions and cities". As the proposed size of the event exceeds the available
budget for members' reimbursement that was attributed to the EPP group under its envelope for
thematic activities in the beginning of this year, preliminary authorisation of the Bureau, after
consultation of CFAA, is needed for the organisation of this event.
Framework for the proposal/initiative
1.1
Title of the proposal/initiative
EPP external group meeting "Making EU investments work in regions and cities"
1.2
Nature of the initiative/proposal
Thematic activities of the political groups (Regulation 012/2014, Article 2.2), and activities exceeding
the budget granted at the beginning of the year (Regulation 012/2014, Article 4.3).
1.3
Objectives, connection with the Annual Management
resolution/decision/regulation, expected result and impact
Plan,
with
a
CoR
The event contributes to the CoR priorities for 2015-2020 adopted at the last plenary session and with
the 2015 working programmes of the COTER and ECON commissions in particular.
The meeting entitled "EPP 2015 Statutory Congress – Making EU investments work in regions and
cities" is a flagship initiative of the EPP CoR Group's support to President Juncker's Investment Plan.
The EPP CoR Group, in conjunction with the European People's Party, has developed an event which
will offer a platform for the CoR and its EPP CoR members to involve themselves in the
implementation of the EU's investment plan. The success of this plan relies on local and regional
authorities being fully involved in its implementation hence we feel that all our members must be
informed and have the opportunity to discuss with one another opportunities in reaching this end. The
topics that will be discussed range from the EU funds, financial instruments, delivering jobs and
growth to the practical involvement of local and regional authorities in realisation of the investment
projects.
COR-2015-03204-06-01-NB-TRA (EN) 16/33
The EPP CoR Group meeting in Madrid will be a great opportunity for promoting not only the work of
our members but also the role of the CoR. The regional and local representative from Spain will be
invited to attend the meeting.
The event itself is envisaged to take place as part of the official European People's Party 2015
Statutory Congress. The congress is attended by the most important EPP representatives from
throughout Europe including the key EU institutions leaders as well the heads of state and
government. For this reason alone it is imperative that the CoR represented by our members has a
voice to exert a political impact in this event and we feel this external meeting is crucial to getting
across the message of local and regional authorities.
As the largest group at the CoR, it would be remiss not to make the effort to maximise the potential
positive impact of this meeting and as such wish to invite all our members. This event as explained
plays a very important role in guiding the political trajectory of our party and a political group at the
CoR.
Last but not least, the EPP has contributed to the substantial savings of the CoR budget in 2014 by:
 not organising the 2014 annual group meeting in Brussels,
 attendance of only 3/4 of all members at the meeting on 30 January 2015;
 attendance of only ca 66% of all members at the meeting on 22 May in Milan.
These savings all contributed to allow the CoR to frontload the January and part of February 2015
events from last year's budget.

The NAT Commission asks for authorisation to reimburse 4 external speakers instead of 3. The local
organisers do not have any means to reimburse the 4th speaker on top of the already relatively high
costs for the organisation of an external meeting. The participation of the 4th speaker, with specific
knowledge on the subject is essential for the organisation of the seminar.
