Dear Marco, dear José,

 

Please find attached the latest draft of the administrative arrangement.

In comparison with the previous draft that you have seen, the following changes have been introduced:

1.      The duration of the study has been limited to 10 months for budgetary reasons, i.e. the requirement that the (final) payment needs to be made before the end of 2016;

2.      The sectoral shocks to be applied to the Leontief price model have been defined as price-shocks, which should reflect the avoided price increases associated with Commission cartel and merger decisions. In our view, it should be easier to directly use available information on avoided price increases than to go via the mark-up shock detour;

3.      On reporting and deliverables, we accept the suggestion to delete the requirement to prepare an interim report, but would like to stick with the five meetings (also in light of the doubling of the size of the study budget, in comparison with the previous AA). We would accept that only one person from JRC.G1 and one person from JRC.J5 attends each meeting (with the exception of the first and the last meeting).

4.      We have changed the structure of the (draft) final report, which now reflects the different tasks of the units involved. This should facilitate the distribution of work and help clarify who to contact in case of questions.

Can you please have a look at this (hopefully) final draft and let us know if you agree with these suggestions?

We need a response rather quickly (by Monday at the latest) as the director responsible for signing the AA will leave town on the 16^th. Thank you.

 

Kind regards,

Fabienne and Adriaan

Dear All,

please find attached the doc with my points and the ones from IPTS.
@Werner: do the changes by IPTS already go in the right direction concerning points IIa and IIc?

Note also that IPTS also added a few bits to points IIIb IIId: are you OK with those?

thank you
best
Marco

Dear Fabienne,

 

We are fine with the proposal, however two points should be clarified:

Point IIa (last sentence) and point IIc: It should be made clear that the multi sector analysis is for IPTS and not conducted with QUEST.

 

Best

Werner
