 Talan väckt den 30 december 2013 — Bankia mot kommissionen
 (Mål T-700/13)
 2014/C 52/87
 Rättegångsspråk: spanska
 Parter
 Sökande: Bankia, SA (Valencia, Spanien) (ombud: advokaterna J.L. Buendía Sierra, E. Abad Valdenebro, R. Calvo Salinero, A. Lamadrid de Pablo och A. Biondi)
 Svarande: Europeiska kommissionen
 Yrkanden
 Sökanden yrkar att tribunalen ska
 —
 ogiltigförklara det angripna beslutet i den mån samtliga de åtgärder som enligt beslutet utgör det berörda spanska systemet för finansiell leasing (SEAF) kvalificeras som ett nytt statligt stöd vilket är oförenligt med den inre marknaden,
 —
 i andra hand, ogiltigförklara artiklarna 1 och 4 i det angripna beslutet, som pekar ut personer som investerar i ekonomiska intressegrupperingar som mottagarna av dessa påstådda stöd och de enda som besluten om återkrav riktar sig till, eller
 —
 i tredje hand, ogiltigförklara artikel 4 i det angripna beslutet i den mån det innebär återkrav av de påstådda stöden, i strid mot unionsrättens allmänna principer,
 —
 ogiltigförklara artikel 4 i det angripna beslutet, i den mån det rör lagligheten av privata avtal mellan investerarna och andra enheter, och
 —
 förplikta kommissionen att ersätta rättegångskostnaderna.
 Grunder och huvudargument
 Det angripna beslutet i detta mål är detsamma som i mål T-515/13, Spanien mot kommissionen (EUT C 336, s. 29).
 Till stöd för sin talan åberopar sökanden fem grunder.
 1.
 Första grunden:
 —
 Sökanden anser att det angripna beslutet strider mot artikel 107 FEUF, genom att kvalificera det påstådda leasingsystemet och de individuella åtgärder som vidtagits inom detta system som statligt stöd. Sökanden gör gällande att kommissionen gjorde fel som bedömde en mängd självständiga, fristående offentliga och privata åtgärder som en helhet och höll Konungariket Spanien ansvarig för dem. Sökanden anser vidare inte att åtgärderna i fråga ger de påstådda mottagarna någon selektiv ekonomisk fördel eller hotar att snedvrida konkurrensen mellan dessa mottagare och andra enheter, och inte heller att de påverkar handeln mellan medlemsstaterna.
 2.
 Andra grunden:
 —
 För det andra hävdar sökanden att kommissionen gjort sig skyldig till uppenbart felaktig rättstillämpning och åsidosatt artiklarna 107 FEUF och 108 FEUF genom att kvalificera tillämpningen av den spanska ordningen för tonnageskatt i vissa fall som ett nytt snarare än ett befintligt stöd. I den mån kommissionen år 2002 godkände den av Konungariket Spanien meddelade ordningen för tonnageskatt borde kommissionen, om den ville ifrågasätta tillämpningen av denna, i alla händelser ha gjort så enligt förfarandet för befintliga stöd. Sökanden anser att argumenten i det angripna beslutet för att det skulle föreligga ett nytt stöd är uppenbart ogrundade.
 3.
 Tredje grunden:
 —
 I den tredje grunden för ogiltigförklaring åberopar sökanden, i andra hand, åsidosättande av artiklarna 107 FEUF och 108 FEUF genom att kommissionen angett felaktiga, eller i varje fall bristfälligt motiverade, skäl för varför enheter som sökanden (som investerar i ekonomiska intressegrupperingar som utför verksamhet som omfattas av det angripna beslutet) ska anses vara de slutliga och enda mottagarna av de omtvistade åtgärderna.
 4.
 Fjärde grunden:
 —
 Sökanden anför för vidare, i tredje hand, att beslutet om återkrav i artikel 4 i det angripna beslutet strider mot den allmänna rättssäkerhetsprincipen genom att det motiverat införs en tidsgräns för tillämpningen av den principen.
 5.
 Femte grunden:
 —
 I den femte grunden för ogiltigförklaring anför sökanden skälen för varför det angripna beslutet även strider mot principen om kompetensfördelning, artiklarna 107 FEUF och 108 FEUF, artikel 14 i rådets förordning nr 659/1999 och artikel 16 i EU:s stadga om de grundläggande rättigheterna, genom att beslutet tog ställning till giltigheten av klausuler i privata avtal som ingåtts enligt spansk rätt mellan investerarna och andra privata aktörer.

 DÉCISION DU CONSEIL
 du 11 juin 2007
 modifiant la décision 2004/585/CE instituant des conseils consultatifs régionaux dans le cadre de la politique commune de la pêche
 (2007/409/CE)
 LE CONSEIL DE L’UNION EUROPÉENNE,
 vu le traité instituant la Communauté européenne, et notamment son article 37,
 vu la proposition de la Commission,
 vu l'avis du Parlement européen,
 considérant ce qui suit:
 (1)
 Le règlement (CE) no 2371/2002 du Conseil du 20 décembre 2002 relatif à la conservation et à l'exploitation durable des ressources halieutiques dans le cadre de la politique commune de la pêche (1), et notamment ses articles 31 et 32, établit, par la création de conseils consultatifs régionaux, une nouvelle forme de participation des parties concernées à la politique commune de la pêche.
 (2)
 La décision 2004/585/CE (2) définit un cadre commun que doit respecter chacun des conseils consultatifs régionaux.
 (3)
 L'article 9 de la décision 2004/585/CE prévoit l'octroi d'une aide financière communautaire aux conseils consultatifs régionaux pour assurer leur fonctionnement efficace, ainsi que pour couvrir leurs coûts d'interprétation et de traduction.
 (4)
 Les conseils consultatifs régionaux donnent des conseils sur la politique commune de la pêche à la Commission et aux États membres et assurent une participation effective des parties concernées, ce qui est l'un des piliers essentiels de la politique commune de la pêche réformée et une condition préalable pour une bonne gouvernance.
 (5)
 Il convient par conséquent que les conseils consultatifs régionaux soient considérés comme des organismes poursuivant un but d'intérêt général européen au sens de l'article 162, point b), du règlement (CE, Euratom) no 2342/2002 de la Commission du 23 décembre 2002 établissant les modalités d'exécution du règlement (CE, Euratom) no 1605/2002 du Conseil portant règlement financier applicable au budget général des Communautés européennes (3).
 (6)
 Les conseils consultatifs régionaux doivent obtenir une stabilité financière par un financement suffisant et permanent, afin de continuer à exercer efficacement leur rôle consultatif dans le cadre de la politique commune de la pêche.
 (7)
 Pour simplifier la gestion du financement communautaire reçu par les conseils consultatifs régionaux, il devrait y avoir un instrument financier unique pour couvrir la totalité des coûts.
 (8)
 Compte tenu de l'aide financière communautaire allouée aux conseils consultatifs régionaux, il importe que la Commission, outre des contrôles d'audit, puisse vérifier à tout moment que le fonctionnement des conseils consultatifs régionaux est conforme aux tâches qui leur ont été assignées.
 (9)
 Il convient donc de modifier la décision 2004/585/CE en conséquence,

Levinson\n Inspector General\n\n July 2009\n A-07-09-02756\n\x0c Office of Inspector General\n http://oig.hhs.gov\n\n\n\nThe mission of the Office of Inspector General (OIG), as mandated by Public Law 95-452, as\namended, is to protect the integrity of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)\nprograms, as well as the health and welfare of beneficiaries served by those programs. This\nstatutory mission is carried out through a nationwide network of audits, investigations, and\ninspections conducted by the following operating components:\n\nOffice of Audit Services\n\nThe Office of Audit Services (OAS) provides auditing services for HHS, either by conducting\naudits with its own audit resources or by overseeing audit work done by others. Audits examine\nthe performance of HHS programs and/or its grantees and contractors in carrying out their\nrespective responsibilities and are intended to provide independent assessments of HHS\nprograms and operations. These assessments help reduce waste, abuse, and mismanagement and\npromote economy and efficiency throughout HHS.\n\nOffice of Evaluation and Inspections\nThe Office of Evaluation and Inspections (OEI) conducts national evaluations to provide HHS,\nCongress, and the public with timely, useful, and reliable information on significant issues.\nThese evaluations focus on preventing fraud, waste, or abuse and promoting economy,\nefficiency, and effectiveness of departmental programs. To promote impact, OEI reports also\npresent practical recommendations for improving program operations.\n\nOffice of Investigations\nThe Office of Investigations (OI) conducts criminal, civil, and administrative investigations of\nfraud and misconduct related to HHS programs, operations, and beneficiaries. With\ninvestigators working in all 50 States and the District of Columbia, OI utilizes its resources by\nactively coordinating with the Department of Justice and other Federal, State, and local law\nenforcement authorities. The investigative efforts of OI often lead to criminal convictions,\nadministrative sanctions, and/or civil monetary penalties.\n\nOffice of Counsel to the Inspector General\nThe Office of Counsel to the Inspector General (OCIG) provides general legal services to OIG,\nrendering advice and opinions on HHS programs and operations and providing all legal support\nfor OIG\xe2\x80\x99s internal operations. OCIG represents OIG in all civil and administrative fraud and\nabuse cases involving HHS programs, including False Claims Act, program exclusion, and civil\nmonetary penalty cases. In connection with these cases, OCIG also negotiates and monitors\ncorporate integrity agreements. OCIG renders advisory opinions, issues compliance program\nguidance, publishes fraud alerts, and provides other guidance to the health care industry\nconcerning the anti-kickback statute and other OIG enforcement authorities.\n\x0c Notices\n\n THIS REPORT IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC\n at http://oig.hhs.gov\n\nPursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. \' 552, Office of\nInspector General reports generally are made available to the public to\nthe extent that information in the report is not subject to exemptions in\nthe Act.\n\n OFFICE OF AUDIT SERVICES FINDINGS AND OPINIONS\n\nThe designation of financial or management practices as questionable, a\nrecommendation for the disallowance of costs incurred or claimed, and\nany other conclusions and recommendations in this report represent the\nfindings and opinions of OAS. Authorized officials of the HHS operating\ndivisions will make final determination on these matters.\n\x0c EXECUTIVE SUMMARY\n\nBACKGROUND\n\nPursuant to Title XIX of the Social Security Act, the Medicaid program provides medical\nassistance to low-income individuals and individuals with disabilities. The Federal and State\nGovernments jointly fund and administer the Medicaid program. At the Federal level, the\nCenters for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administers the program. Each State\nadministers its Medicaid program in accordance with a CMS-approved State plan. Although the\nState has considerable flexibility in designing and operating its Medicaid program, it must\ncomply with applicable Federal requirements. In Colorado, the Department of Health Care\nPolicy and Financing (State agency) administers the State\xe2\x80\x99s Medicaid program in accordance\nwith its CMS-approved State plan.\n\nProviders of Medicaid services, such as nursing facilities, submit claims to the State agency in\norder to receive compensation for the services they provide to Medicaid beneficiaries. The State\nagency processes and pays the claims. The Federal Medical Assistance Percentage specifies the\npercentage of each claim to be reimbursed by Federal funds (this reimbursement is commonly\nreferred to as the Federal share) and is determined pursuant to 42 CFR \xc2\xa7 433.10.\n\nCredit balances occur when the Federal reimbursement that a provider receives for services\nprovided to a Medicaid beneficiary exceeds the charges earned, for example when a provider\nbills Medicaid for more days than the patient was at the facility. In such cases, the provider\nshould return the existing overpayment to the Medicaid program, which pursuant to 42 CFR\n\xc2\xa7 433.139 is the payer of last resort.\n\nTo avoid abuse of the Medicaid program, sound fiscal and business practices require provider\nrepayment of identified overpayments within a reasonable period of time. Federal regulations\nrequire States to adjust any outstanding credit balances within 60 days after notification by a\nprovider that a credit balance exists. The Code of Colorado Regulations at 10 CCR 2505-10\n\xc2\xa7 8.076.1 defines abuse of the Medicaid program as provider practices that are inconsistent with\nsound fiscal or business practices, to include failure to repay or make arrangements to repay\noverpayments or payments made in error.\n\nSunny Vista Living Center (Sunny Vista) is a 100-bed nursing home located in Colorado\nSprings, Colorado, that participates in the Medicaid program. It is an independent facility,\ngoverned by a volunteer board of directors and not affiliated with any corporation, hospital, or\nreligious order. Sunny Vista provides rehabilitation, restorative services, and long-term care.\n\nOBJECTIVE\n\nOur objective was to determine whether the Medicaid credit balances recorded in Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s\naccounting records for patient services constituted overpayments that should have been returned\nto the Medicaid program pursuant to Federal and State requirements.\n\n\n\n\n i\n\x0cSUMMARY OF FINDINGS\n\nMedicaid credit balances recorded in Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s accounting records for patient services\nincluded $74,163 ($37,081 Federal share) in unallowable overpayments that should have been\nreturned to the Medicaid program pursuant to Federal and State requirements. These Medicaid\ncredit balances also included $22,085 ($11,043 Federal share) in potentially unallowable\noverpayments that may, subject to further evaluation by the State agency, have to be returned to\nthe Medicaid program.\n\nAlthough Sunny Vista had informal policies and procedures to identify and confirm outstanding\nMedicaid credit balances, those policies and procedures specified that after unsuccessful\nrepayment attempts, Sunny Vista would make no further repayment attempts, opting instead to\nmaintain the Medicaid overpayment until the State agency\xe2\x80\x99s audit (which typically occurs once\nevery four or five years). As a result, Sunny Vista did not repay Medicaid overpayments totaling\n$74,163 ($37,081 Federal share) to the Medicaid program in a reasonable time period in\naccordance with Federal and State Medicaid requirements.\n\nThese errors occurred because Sunny Vista had inadequate policies and procedures in place to\nensure the timely reimbursement of Medicaid overpayments. Specifically, Sunny Vista did not\nalways have policies and procedures in place to:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 document the appropriate method for returning Medicaid overpayments via the State\n agency\xe2\x80\x99s online payment system or any other method;\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 communicate with the State agency to resolve any repayment issues; and\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 notify the State agency regarding outstanding Medicaid credit balances that were due and\n payable.\n\nFurthermore, our audit revealed that most of the credit balances over 60 days old were Medicaid\noverpayments. Due to the inadequacy of policies and procedures that would ensure that Sunny\nVista would notify the State agency and refund any overpayments, we are setting aside, for\nadjudication by the State agency, the remaining credit balances at that facility: credit balances\nthat we did not review and that totaled $22,085 ($11,043 Federal share) in potentially\nunallowable costs.\n\nIn our review of the accounts in Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s accounting records, we determined that $21,768\n($10,884 Federal share) were not actually overpayments. These funds were included in Sunny\nVista\xe2\x80\x99s accounting records in error.\n\nRECOMMENDATIONS\n\nWe recommend that the State agency:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 recover from Sunny Vista the $74,163 ($37,081 Federal share) of Medicaid\n overpayments and refund the $37,081 to the Federal Government;\n\n\n ii\n\x0c \xe2\x80\xa2 work with Sunny Vista to evaluate the remaining credit balances that we did not review\n and determine what portion (if any) of the $22,085 ($11,043 Federal share) was due to\n Medicaid overpayments, and then collect that portion and refund the Federal share to the\n Federal Government; and\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 ensure that Sunny Vista develops, implements, documents, and maintains written policies\n and procedures to identify outstanding Medicaid credit balances and to notify the State\n agency of these credit balances in a timely manner.\n\nSTATE AGENCY COMMENTS\n\nIn written comments on our draft report, the State agency concurred with our recommendations.\nThe State agency\xe2\x80\x99s comments appear in their entirety as the Appendix.\n\n\n\n\n iii\n\x0c TABLE OF CONTENTS\n\n Page\n\nINTRODUCTION......................................................................................................................1\n\n BACKGROUND .............................................................................................................1\n Medicaid Program................................................................................................1\n Federal Reimbursement and Medicaid Credit Balances......................................1\n Sunny Vista Living Center...................................................................................1\n\n OBJECTIVE, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY ...........................................................2\n Objective ..............................................................................................................2\n Scope....................................................................................................................2\n Methodology ........................................................................................................2\n\nFINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ............................................................................3\n\n FEDERAL AND STATE MEDICAID REQUIREMENTS............................................4\n\n UNALLOWABLE MEDICAID OVERPAYMENTS ....................................................4\n\n POTENTIALLY UNALLOWABLE MEDICAID OVERPAYMENTS ........................5\n\n INADEQUATE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ........................................................5\n\n RECOMMENDATIONS.................................................................................................6\n\n STATE AGENCY COMMENTS....................................................................................6\n\nAPPENDIX\n\n STATE AGENCY COMMENTS\n\n\n\n\n iv\n\x0c INTRODUCTION\n\nBACKGROUND\n\nMedicaid Program\n\nPursuant to Title XIX of the Social Security Act, the Medicaid program provides medical\nassistance to low-income individuals and individuals with disabilities.

It is an independent facility,\ngoverned by a volunteer board of directors and not affiliated with any corporation, hospital, or\nreligious order. Sunny Vista provides rehabilitation, restorative services, and long-term care.\n\n\n\n\n 1\n\x0cOBJECTIVE, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY\n\nObjective\n\nOur objective was to determine whether the Medicaid credit balances recorded in Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s\naccounting records for patient services constituted overpayments that should have been returned\nto the Medicaid program pursuant to Federal and State requirements.\n\nScope\n\nWe identified $118,016 ($59,008 Federal share) which comprised the 95 accounts in Sunny\nVista\xe2\x80\x99s accounting records whose net Medicaid credit balances were, as of February 28, 2009,\noutstanding over 60 days. We selected 24 of the 95 accounts totaling $95,931 ($47,965 Federal\nshare) for detailed testing.\n\nWe did not review the overall internal control structure at either Sunny Vista or the State agency\nbecause our objective did not require us to do so. Rather, we limited our review of internal\ncontrols to obtaining an understanding of the policies and procedures that Sunny Vista used to\nreview credit balances and report overpayments to the Medicaid program.\n\nWe performed our fieldwork in April 2009 at Sunny Vista in Colorado Springs, Colorado.\n\nMethodology\n\nTo accomplish our objective, we:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 researched and reviewed Federal and State requirements pertaining to Medicaid credit\n balances;\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 identified and reconciled Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s Medicaid credit balances to its accounting\n records as of February 28, 2009;\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 reconciled Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s February 28, 2009, credit balance list to the accounts receivable\n records, and reconciled the accounts receivable records to the general ledger;\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 judgmentally selected and tested 24 credit balance accounts that were outstanding over 60\n days, that had Medicaid listed as a payer, and that had credit balances greater than\n $1,000;\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 reviewed provider claims reports, patient accounts receivable detail, and additional\n supporting documentation for each of the judgmentally selected credit balance accounts;\n and\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 coordinated our audit with officials from the State agency.\n\n\n\n\n 2\n\x0cWe conducted this performance audit in accordance with generally accepted government\nauditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain\nsufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions\nbased on our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis\nfor our findings and conclusions based on our audit objective.\n\n FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS\n\nMedicaid credit balances recorded in Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s accounting records for patient services\nincluded $74,163 ($37,081 Federal share) in unallowable overpayments that should have been\nreturned to the Medicaid program pursuant to Federal and State requirements. These Medicaid\ncredit balances also included $22,085 ($11,043 Federal share) in potentially unallowable\noverpayments that may, subject to further evaluation by the State agency, have to be returned to\nthe Medicaid program.\n\nAlthough Sunny Vista had informal policies and procedures to identify and confirm outstanding\nMedicaid credit balances, those policies and procedures specified that after unsuccessful\nrepayment attempts, Sunny Vista would make no further repayment attempts, opting instead to\nmaintain the Medicaid overpayment until the State agency\xe2\x80\x99s audit (which typically occurs once\nevery four or five years). As a result, Sunny Vista did not repay Medicaid overpayments totaling\n$74,163 ($37,081 Federal share) to the Medicaid program in a reasonable time period in\naccordance with Federal and State Medicaid requirements.\n\nThese errors occurred because Sunny Vista had inadequate policies and procedures in place to\nensure the timely reimbursement of Medicaid overpayments. Specifically, Sunny Vista did not\nalways have policies and procedures in place to:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 document the appropriate method for returning Medicaid overpayments via the State\n agency\xe2\x80\x99s online payment system or any other method;\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 communicate with the State agency to resolve any repayment issues; and\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 notify the State agency regarding outstanding Medicaid credit balances that were due and\n payable.\n\nFurthermore, our audit revealed that most of the credit balances over 60 days old were Medicaid\noverpayments. Due to the inadequacy of policies and procedures that would ensure that Sunny\nVista would notify the State agency and refund any overpayments, we are setting aside, for\nadjudication by the State agency, the remaining credit balances at that facility: credit balances\nthat we did not review and that totaled $22,085 ($11,043 Federal share) in potentially\nunallowable costs.\n\nIn our review of the accounts in Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s accounting records, we determined that $21,768\n($10,884 Federal share) were not actually overpayments. These funds were included in Sunny\nVista\xe2\x80\x99s accounting records in error.\n\n\n\n\n 3\n\x0cFEDERAL AND STATE MEDICAID REQUIREMENTS\n\n42 U.S.C. \xc2\xa7 1396(b)(d)(2)(C) states that, \xe2\x80\x9cwhen an overpayment is discovered, which was made\nby a State to a person or other entity, the State shall have a period of 60 days in which to recover\nor attempt to recover such overpayment before adjustment is made in the Federal payment to\nsuch State on account of such overpayment . . . . [T]he adjustment in the Federal payment shall\nbe made at the end of the 60 days, whether or not recovery was made.\xe2\x80\x9d\n\nPursuant to the implementing regulations for this legislation, 42 CFR \xc2\xa7 433, subpart F,\n\xe2\x80\x9cRefunding the Federal Share of Medicaid Overpayments to Providers,\xe2\x80\x9d States must adjust any\noutstanding credit balances.\n\nIn accordance with these Federal regulations, the State agency must adjust the applicable claim\nor recover the amount of the Medicaid overpayment from the provider within 60 days of\nnotification. The Code of Colorado Regulations at 10 CCR 2505-10 \xc2\xa7 8.076.3 states that\nidentified overpayments to a provider are recoverable \xe2\x80\x9c. . . through a repayment agreement with\nthe Provider, by offsetting the amount owed against current and future claims of the Provider,\nthrough litigation, or by any other appropriate action within the [State agency\xe2\x80\x99s] legal authority.\xe2\x80\x9d\n\nThe Code of Colorado Regulations at 10 CCR 2505-10 \xc2\xa7 8.076.1 defines abuse of the Medicaid\nprogram as provider practices that are inconsistent with sound fiscal or business practices, to\ninclude failure to repay or make arrangements to repay overpayments or payments made in error.\nTo avoid abuse of the Medicaid program, sound fiscal and business practices require provider\nrepayment of identified overpayments within a reasonable period of time. Although the State\nregulations contain this language, the State of Colorado does not have any regulations requiring\nproviders to refund Medicaid credit balances within a specified timeframe.\n\nUNALLOWABLE MEDICAID OVERPAYMENTS\n\nMedicaid credit balances recorded in Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s accounting records for patient services\nincluded $74,163 ($37,081 Federal share) in unallowable overpayments that should have been\nreturned to the Medicaid program pursuant to Federal and State requirements. Our judgmental\nsample identified 24 cases of Medicaid credit balances at Sunny Vista that were, as of\nFebruary 28, 2009, over 60 days old.\n\nThese overpayments occurred because Sunny Vista did not properly maintain patient census data\nand patient fiscal records and used a daily reimbursement rate higher than the Medicaid approved\nrate. Sometimes the credit balances were outside the control of the nursing facility because the\nappropriate county did not verify the beneficiary\xe2\x80\x99s income or determine the patient payment\namount in a timely manner.\n\nThe types of issues described above can be improved, but the normal operations of the nursing\nhome facility are such that overpayments will occur. Accordingly, this review focused on\nwhether Sunny Vista had adequate policies and procedures in place to notify and repay the State\nagency in a timely manner once a Medicaid overpayment had been identified.\n\n\n\n\n 4\n\x0cSunny Vista had informal policies and procedures to review the Accounts Receivable Detail\nReport to identify and confirm outstanding Medicaid credit balances. When a Medicaid credit\nbalance was identified, Sunny Vista attempted to make a repayment using the State agency\xe2\x80\x99s\nonline system. However, if this was unsuccessful, Sunny Vista recorded the credit balance in an\naccounts payable account and, pursuant to its informal policies and procedures, made no further\nrepayment attempts. Sunny Vista planned to hold onto the Medicaid funds until the State agency\nperformed its next audit of the facility, which typically occurs once every four to five years. As\na result, Sunny Vista did not repay Medicaid overpayments totaling $74,163 ($37,081 Federal\nshare) to the Medicaid program in a reasonable time period in accordance with Federal and State\nMedicaid requirements.\n\nPOTENTIALLY UNALLOWABLE MEDICAID OVERPAYMENTS\n\nMedicaid credit balances recorded in Sunny Vista\xe2\x80\x99s accounting records for patient services\nincluded $22,085 ($11,043 Federal share) in potentially unallowable overpayments that may,\nsubject to further evaluation by the State agency, have to be returned to the Medicaid program.\n\nOur audit revealed that most of the credit balances over 60 days old\xe2\x80\x94that is, most of the credit\nbalances above and beyond the 24 that we judgmentally selected for review\xe2\x80\x94were Medicaid\noverpayments. Due to the inadequacy of policies and procedures that would ensure that Sunny\nVista would notify the State agency and refund any overpayments, we are setting aside, for\nadjudication by the State agency, the remaining credit balances at that facility: credit balances\nthat we did not review and that totaled $22,085 ($11,043 Federal share) in potentially\nunallowable costs.\n\nINADEQUATE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES\n\nSunny Vista had inadequate policies and procedures in place to ensure the timely reimbursement\nof Medicaid overpayments pursuant to Federal and State requirements. Specifically:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 Sunny Vista did not have written policies and procedures in place to notify the State\n agency regarding outstanding Medicaid credit balances that were due and payable.\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 Sunny Vista had not documented its current policies and procedures to identify and\n confirm outstanding Medicaid credit balances or to notify the State agency of such\n balances. Thus, although it appeared that the current Accounting staff was properly\n identifying Medicaid overpayments, a continued absence of documented policies and\n procedures, if combined with any future employee turnover at Sunny Vista, could lead to\n problems in the identification, and timely notification to the State agency, of the\n outstanding Medicaid overpayments.\n\n\n\n\n 5\n\x0cRECOMMENDATIONS\n\nWe recommend that the State agency:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 recover from Sunny Vista the $74,163 ($37,081 Federal share) of Medicaid\n overpayments and refund the $37,081 to the Federal Government;\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 work with Sunny Vista to evaluate the remaining credit balances that we did not review\n and determine what portion (if any) of the $22,085 ($11,043 Federal share) was due to\n Medicaid overpayments, and then collect that portion and refund the Federal share to the\n Federal Government; and\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 ensure that Sunny Vista develops, implements, documents, and maintains written policies\n and procedures to identify outstanding Medicaid credit balances and to notify the State\n agency of these credit balances in a timely manner.\n\nSTATE AGENCY COMMENTS\n\nIn written comments on our draft report, the State agency concurred with our recommendations.\nThe State agency\xe2\x80\x99s comments appear in their entirety as the Appendix.\n\n\n\n\n 6\n\x0cAPPENDIX\n\x0cAPPENDIX\n Page 1 of 2\n\x0cAPPENDIX\n Page 2 of 2\n\x0c'

 Journal officiel n° L 003 du 06/01/2001 p. 0018 - 0026
 Directive 2000/82/CE de la Commissiondu 20 décembre 2000modifiant les annexes des directives 76/895/CEE, 86/362/CEE, 86/363/CEE et 90/642/CEE du Conseil concernant la fixation de teneurs maximales pour les résidus de pesticides respectivement sur et dans les céréales, les denrées alimentaires d'origine animale et certains produits d'origine végétale, y compris les fruits et légumes(Texte présentant de l'intérêt pour l'EEE)LA COMMISSION DES COMMUNAUTÉS EUROPÉENNES,vu le traité instituant la Communauté européenne,vu la directive 76/895/CEE du Conseil du 23 novembre 1976 concernant la fixation de teneurs maximales pour les résidus de pesticides sur et dans les fruits et légumes(1), modifiée en dernier lieu par la directive 2000/57/CE de la Commission(2), et notamment son article 5,vu la directive 86/362/CEE du Conseil du 24 juillet 1986 concernant la fixation de teneurs maximales pour les résidus de pesticides sur et dans les céréales(3), modifiée en dernier lieu par la directive 2000/81/CE de la Commission(4), et notamment son article 10,vu la directive 86/363/CEE du Conseil du 24 juillet 1986 concernant la fixation de teneurs maximales pour les résidus de pesticides sur et dans les denrées alimentaires d'origine animale(5), modifiée en dernier lieu par la directive 2000/81/CE, et notamment son article 10,vu la directive 90/642/CEE du Conseil du 27 novembre 1990 concernant la fixation de teneurs maximales pour les résidus de pesticides sur et dans certains produits d'origine végétale, y compris les fruits et légumes(6), modifiée en dernier lieu par la directive 2000/81/CE, et notamment son article 7,considérant ce qui suit:(1) Pour les céréales et certains produits d'origine végétale, y compris les fruits et légumes, les teneurs maximales en résidus doivent refléter l'utilisation des quantités minimales de pesticides nécessaires pour assurer une protection efficace des végétaux, appliquées de telle sorte que la quantité de résidus soit la plus réduite possible et toxicologiquement acceptable, notamment eu égard à la protection de l'environnement et en termes d'estimation d'une dose journalière admissible. Pour les denrées alimentaires d'origine animale, les teneurs maximales en résidus doivent refléter la consommation de céréales et de produits d'origine végétale traités avec des pesticides entraînant la présence de résidus dans les animaux et produits d'animaux, tout en tenant compte des conséquences directes de l'utilisation, le cas échéant, de médicaments vétérinaires.(2) Les teneurs maximales en résidus de pesticides doivent être constamment réexaminées et peuvent être modifiées pour tenir compte de nouvelles informations et de nouvelles données. Les teneurs maximales en résidus doivent être fixées au seuil de détection lorsque les utilisations autorisées de produits phytosanitaires ne donnent pas des teneurs en résidus de pesticides détectables sur ou dans les denrées alimentaires, ou lorsqu'il n'y a pas d'utilisation autorisée, ou lorsque les utilisations qui ont été autorisées par les États membres n'ont pas été étayées par les données nécessaires, ou lorsque les utilisations dans les pays tiers entraînant la présence de résidus sur ou dans les denrées alimentaires pouvant être mis en circulation sur le marché communautaire n'ont pas été étayées par lesdites données nécessaires.(3) Des décisions de la Commission visant à la non-inclusion de certaines substances actives dans l'annexe I de la directive 91/414/CEE du Conseil du 15 juillet 1991 concernant la mise sur le marché des produits phytopharmaceutiques(7), modifiée en dernier lieu par la directive 2000/80/CE de la Commission(8), ont été adoptées pour l'azinphos-éthyl [décision 95/276/CE de la Commission(9)], le prophame [décision 96/586/CE de la Commission(10)], le dinoterb [décision 98/269/CE de la Commission(11)], le DNOC [décision 1999/164/CE de la Commission(12)], le pyrazophos [décision 2000/233/CE de la Commission(13)], le monolinuron [décision 2000/234/CE de la Commission(14)] ainsi que le chlozolinate [décision 2000/626/CE de la Commission(15) et le tecnazène [décision 2000/725/CE de la Commission(16)]. En vertu de ces décisions, les produits phytopharmaceutiques contenant ces substances actives ne peuvent plus être utilisés dans la Communauté. Il est nécessaire, de ce fait, d'ajouter tous les résidus de pesticides issus de l'utilisation de ces produits phytopharmaceutiques aux annexes des directives 86/362/CEE, 86/363/CEE et 90/642/CEE afin de permettre une surveillance et un contrôle adéquats de leurs utilisations et de protéger le consommateur. Afin de satisfaire les attentes légitimes concernant l'utilisation des stocks de pesticides existants, les décisions de la Commission prévoyant la non-inclusion de certaines substances ont fixé un délai de suppression progressive de l'utilisation de celles-ci et il convient que l'application des teneurs maximales en résidus basées sur le principe selon lequel l'utilisation de la substance en cause n'est pas admise dans la Communauté n'entre en vigueur qu'à l'expiration du délai de suppression progressive défini pour cette substance.(4) Des teneurs maximales en résidus ont été fixées pour l'azinphos-éthyl contenu dans certaines denrées alimentaires à l'annexe II de la directive 76/895/CEE, modifiée par la directive 82/528/CEE de la Commission(17), mais les États membres ont été autorisés à fixer des teneurs maximales plus élevées. Afin de fixer des teneurs maximales en résidus d'azinphos-éthyl dans et sur les fruits et légumes harmonisées au niveau communautaire, il y a lieu d'inclure ces teneurs maximales en résidus dans la directive 90/642/CEE. De plus, ces teneurs doivent être modifiées à la suite du retrait des autorisations au niveau communautaire.(5) Les teneurs maximales communautaires en résidus et les teneurs recommandées par le Codex alimentarius sont fixées et évaluées selon des procédures similaires. Aucune teneur maximale en résidus n'a été fixée par le Codex pour l'azinphos-éthyl, le dinoterb, le DNOC, le monolinuron, le prophame et le chlozolinate. Un nombre limité de teneurs maximales en résidus a été fixé par le Codex pour le pyrazophos et le tecnazène; ces teneurs ont été prises en considération lors de la fixation des teneurs maximales en résidus contenues dans la présente directive. La Communauté a communiqué le projet de directive de la Commission à l'Organisation mondiale du commerce et il a été tenu compte des commentaires reçus dans la finalisation de la directive. La possibilité de fixer des tolérances à l'importation en ce qui concerne les teneurs maximales en résidus pour des combinaisons pesticide/culture spécifiques sera examinée par la Communauté européenne sur la base de la présentation de données acceptables et d'évaluations satisfaisantes de l'exposition des consommateurs(18).(6) Les mesures prévues à la présente directive sont conformes à l'avis du comité phytosanitaire permanent,A ARRÊTÉ LA PRÉSENTE DIRECTIVE:Article premierÀ l'annexe II de la directive 76/895/CEE, les résidus d'azinphos-éthyl sont supprimés.Article 2Dans le tableau de la partie A de l'annexe II de la directive 86/362/CEE, les résidus de pesticides suivants sont ajoutés:>TABLE>Article 3L'annexe II de la directive 86/363/CEE est modifiée comme suit:1) Les résidus de pesticides suivants sont ajoutés au tableau de la partie A:>TABLE>2) Les résidus de pesticides suivants sont ajoutés au tableau de la partie B:>TABLE>Article 4Dans le tableau de l'annexe II de la directive 90/642/CEE, les résidus de pesticides figurant à l'annexe de la présente directive sont ajoutés.Article 51.
