2. Table of contents Almost two years experience as industrial liaison officer on CERN; Qualification Criteria (the case for civil engineering design work) ILO Platform; CERN Activity Codes; The main planed activities of ILO Romania to improve the industrial return rate Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 2

3. 1. Almost two years experience as industrial liaison officer on CERN The main activities on this period could be resuming as follows: Understanding of CERN advanced technology and the procurement rules; Participation, as possible, at all Financial Committee and ILO’s Meeting; Contacted several companies to participate on CERN’s procurement system.

4. 1. Almost two years experience as industrial liaison officer on CERN Romanian’s companies participation in 2011 – 2012 periods Take it account the paper of Mr. J.C. Brisson presented at 6th ILO Meeting, “Contributions sur le Juste Retour” show the Romanian first results like candidate for ascension as follows: Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 4

5. 1. Almost two years experience as industrial liaison officer on CERN By classifying the average return in order decreasing there the following graph: Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 5

6. 1. Almost two years experience as industrial liaison officer on CERN It can be seen that: · The two countries host have a clearly well balance (CH - FR) · Six countries have a nearby balance (PL-SK-CZ-FI-BE-IT) · The seven following countries have a slightly low return (0, 6-0, 7) (DE-AT-HU-PT-ES-IT-SE) · Three countries have a low (around 0.5) (NL-DK-GB) · The last four have a very low return (0.17 to 0.34) (BU-RO-GR-NO) The Bulgaria is a member since 12 years, Israel and the Romania for a year. On the proposed changes, it could redefine the following zones from the theoretical return: From 0-30% → very poor balance returns From 31-70% → poor balance returns From 71-100% → Acceptable returns More than 101% → Well balance return Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 6

7. 1. Almost two years experience as industrial liaison officer on CERN In Annual Report of 2011 for the first time Romania was mention with 370.000 CHF the total amount of purchasing to CERN (compare with 170.000 CHF in 2010), bur it is to underline that still Romanian’s companies did not accessed to more than 200.000 CHF acquisition values. At present there are 38 companies, institutes and universities that was registered in CERN data base but it is to mention that are companies that did not participated yet and there are companies that was participated but are not registered in data base of CERN Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 7

8. 1. Almost two years experience as industrial liaison officer on CERN In 2012 nine companies expressed interest to participate in the tenders (as in 2011) till October 28, according to the next table: Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 8

9. 2. Qualification Criteria (the case for civil engineering design work) The CERN’s public tendering process is restricted one and the restrictions are statute by qualification criteriain Market Survey document but also in the Technical Description document. For the above mention case some of the qualification criteria are related to: Administrative Situation Competence And Experience Size Quality Assurance Safety Training Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 9

10. 3. ILO’s Platform The ILO’s Platform was developed begun with Marc 2012 and provides (by password) the next information: The Lists with the firm that was registered in CERN’s data base, and ILO have the possibility to email directly to the firms; Market survey history; Tender history; Tender offer history; Market survey statistics; Tender statistics; Email contact. Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 10

11. 4. CERN Activity Codes It is very important like firm register the CERN activity codes for the case of below 200.000 CHF and eventually in the case that you may be a subcontractor.

12. 5. The main planed activities of ILO Romania to improve the industrial return rate • The planned activities will be on two directions: measures to take in Romania and more involve in CERN procurement activities in the site with support of CERN staff. • Romania: • at least 50 % of time dedicated to promote the CERN business opportunities; • more presentation on ministry site but also to organize visits at some companies with industrial potential from different Romanian counties; • a minimal budget for promotion this activities and also a minimal personal for this purpose; • - more understanding of procurement rules and by time with improving the ILO portal could be possible more contact to increase the number of Romanian registered in the CERN data base Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 12

13. 5. The main planed activities of ILO Romania to improve the industrial return rate • CERN site: • improvement the dialogue with procurement and technological staff on CERN site; • improvement the knowledge’s from technical point of view of main experimental device and understanding the future needs of those, trying to find the right Romanian’s companies that could have the potential to purchase products and services; • at least 5 days of time spent on the CERN site by occasion of Financial Committee and ILO Meeting; • organize 3 technical visit on CERN site (in first part of 2013) with potential companies. • Finally we are open for any suggest or purpose from you Workshop 20November 2012 Magurele Bucharest 13
