Summary

"CRIS is the information system put in place by the Commission to support the management of external actions. CRIS enables all staff involved in external action management to work on a common database. It provides data concerning the different phases of management and feeds financial data into the Commission's accounting system ABAC. The Court found that CRIS is mostly effective in responding to the Commission's information needs in the field of external actions. However, after ten years of development, CRIS is still subject to persisting shortcomings. These concern in particular the definition of CRIS's role with regard to the Commission's accounting system, weaknesses in data coding, insufficient effectiveness in ensuring data integrity and, more generally, insufficient security of the system and its data."
