SUMMARY 
This progress report on the Integrated Mediterannean Programmes 
(IMPs) covers both the years 1991 and 1992. As with previous 
annual reports, it relates both to the financial implementation 
of the programmes and to the results achieved on the ground. The 
period covered was the final stage in the programmes which had 
all commenced in 1986/88, though under the terms of Regulation 
(EEC) 2088/85 the Commission may continue to make financial 
commitments in 1993 and payments may be effected for some period 
after that. 
The period 1991-1992 saw largely sucessful implementation in 
France and Greece with concern about the continuing effects of 
initial delays in several Italian programmes. Steps were taken to 
target resources on the more successful programmes where there 
was scope for further financial absorption, so as to utilise the 
available Community assistance more effectively. As was mentioned 
in the previous report, Commissioner Mi I Ian had written to the 
Presidents of the regional authorities in all French and Italian 
IMP regions in December 1990 requesting details of expenditure 
effected until 31 March 1991. This data subsequently became the 
basis for a review of financial allocations carried out in 1991 
and 1992 which saw the definitive allocation of the resources 
made available by Regulation (EEC) 2088/85. 
In France the progress of the progammes continued in a 
satisfactory way and the outcome of the review of progress was 
that an additional 60 Mecus from the former line 551 financing 
source were globally allocated to the French IMPs in summer 1991 
from the non allocated resource. In Greece a high level of 
financial absorption was maintained through 1991 and 1992. Second 
phase allocations had been made previously with only a minimal 
amount of 7 Mecus being retained for final adjustments. The six 
regional Greek programmes were adjusted in amending Decisions 
adopted by the Commission in February 1992 and which reduced the 
financial allocations to some programmes, while increasing 
others, to ensure the best possible use of the 2000 Mecus in 
Community assistance set by Regulation (EEO2088/85. As in 
previous years, the performance of the Italian programmes was not 
uniformly satisfactory. The review of expenditure on the ground 
carried out in summer 1991 showed again a disparity between the 
regions of the Me'zzogiorno where the initiation of the programmes 
had been delayed, and the Centre-North, where more had been 
accomplished. Later in 1991 the remaining second phase Decisions 
were adopted for thirteen Italian programmes. The Italian IMPs 
have globally received 193.25 MECU from the unallocated resource. 
Most programmes received additional funds but two (Puglia and 
Liguria) had their initial allocation frozen and one, Campania, 
had its funding reduced. The purpose of these adjustments was to 
direct greater assistance towards the more effective programmes. 
2 -
By the end of 1992, the finance made available by the Community 
had been largely committed. Regulation (EEC) 2088/85 permits 
outstanding funds to be committed, within Community financial 
rules, in 1993. In France and Greece the overwhelming bulk of the 
funds had been committed at the end of the year and much of that 
had already been paid to the regional authorities. In Italy most 
programmes remained with significant amounts to be committed. It 
is hoped to absorb as much as possible of this outstanding 
assistance in 1993, consistent with Community financial rules. 
1991 and 1992 saw the conclusion of a number of horizontal 
initiatives drawing on the experiences of programmes in all three 
countries. Among these were analyses of national financial and 
administrative procedures, which are summarised in this report. 
The IMPs have become a valuable experience for the development of 
future Community action in regional policy. Lessons learned in 
these programmes played an important role in the reform of the 
structural funds in 1989 and will also influence the next 
generation of regional progammes for the period 1994-99. To draw 
the fullest lessons from the IMP experience it is important that 
an ex-post evaluation should now be initiated. It is intended 
that such an evaluation will be carried out in each country 
beginning in 1993. The overall impact of the programmes will thus 
be Judged objectively and the value of the IMPs will be 
definitively assessed. 
II. UTILI SAT ION OF F INANCIAL RESOURCES 
A. Take-up of Community appropriations 
Allocat ion in 1991 
1. In December 1991, the Commmission made financial revisions to the 
Italian programmes and to three French programmes. After the 
adjustments, the breakdown of Community assistance by financing 
source for the 29 programmes at 31 December 1991 was the

2. In the context of the total budgetary resources foreseen in the 
regulation, the allocation at the end of 1991 represented 98.8% 
of the Community funds available to the IMPs. The difference 
between the total of this assistance and the maximum sum of 4.1 
billion Ecus referred to in Regulation (EEC)N*2088/85 was 
allocated In 1992 to the Greek programmes and to four French 
programmes. With the revision decisions on these programmes the 
final allocation of Community resources was determined by March 
1992, as shown in the following tabled :

3. As in previous years, the collection of financial data for 1991 
and 1992 was facilitated by the availability of a coordinated 
management system based on the recording of financial movements 
generated by the implementation of the programmes. A summary of 
commitments and payments since the programmes began may be found 
in the annexed tables 3.1. to 4.3. 
At 31 December 1991 the accumulated budgetary assistance envisaged in 
the financial plans current at that date, in comparison to actual 
commitments and payments, was as follows:

A detailed breakdown by IMP is set out in the annexes. As pointed out 
in previous reports, it should be noted that, while the take-up of 
Community appropriations depends on the progress of work and 
expenditure on the ground, the take-up rates shown in these and 
following tables do not correspond exactly to the state of progress 
in the programmes, given that various Community engagement and 
payment procedures authorise the payment of advances with the balance 
being paid at the end of the relevant calendar year.

- 8 -
The take-up rates of the additional line in 1991 and 1992 were a 
considerable improvement on previous years. In relation to the 
total 1.6 billion Ecus envisaged in Regulation N" 2088/85, 
commitments and payments in 1991 amounted to 18.8% and 17.6% 
respectively and at year end accumulated commitments and payments 
had reached 69.1% and 50.8% respectively. In 1992 commitments 
were 19,3% and payments 24,4% of the total with cumulative 
commitments and payments of 88,4% and 75,2% respectively. 
However, this fell short of the 100% commitment level which was 
planned for the final year of the programmes. At the end of 1992 
one French programme (Aquitaine) and 12 in Italy had not yet 
committed their final tranche of additional line funds. Under 
Community financial rules, unused commitment credits can be 
carried forward to the following year and in this case the unused 
186,4 Mecus was made available for commitment in 1993. These 
problems were essentially the legacy of delays in the early 
stages of the Italian programmes which distorted the subsequent 
expenditure profile of the IMPs as a whole. 
Utilisation of EIB loans 
Full utilisation of the 2.5 billion Ecus in loans (Article 10(2) 
of Regulation (EEC) N* 2088/85) depends on demand by operators 
for investments in the programmes which are eligible under the 
EIB criteria. In close collaboration with the Commission, the EIB 
will continue to do a I I it can to implement the above-mentioned 
Régulât ion. 
During the years 1991 and 1992 the improved uptake of EIB loans, 
observed since 1989, was reinforced in Italy and Greece. In 
contrast the Bank received no requests for loans to be directly 
included in the French IMP programmes. The reasons for the 
limited utilisation of loans have already been indicated in 
previous reports: the limited nature of genuine loan 
opportunities; the small scale and very scattered nature of most 
investments; the indebtedness of some regions or their desire to 
reduce debt; administrative delays; difficulties encountered by 
promoters in meeting the conditions and rules for presentation of 
projects.

3. It should, however, be noted that during the year 1991, 31% of 
EIB financing in the IMP areas corresponded to their objectives 
without necessarily being included in those programmes. In 1992 
the corresponding figure was 23%. In fact, the EIB has financed 
more projects contributing to the general objectives of the IMPs 
but which do not necessarly fit the framework of specific 
programmes, often for budgetary reasons. Thus, EIB activity in 
favour of regional development in regions wholly or partly 
eligible under the IMPs (NUTS level III) reached 3440,1 mecus in 
1992, including 2225 mecus in contributions to the financing of 
investment projects in IMP zones strictly defined. Of the latter 
amount, 815.1 mecus were in line with IMP objectives without 
being included in the IMP programmes. 
4. The EIB has taken note of the financing plans for 1989-1993. The 
amount not committed or still available during the first phase 
has permitted the EIB to continue its participation through 
loans in the financing of the planned new activities. The 
readiness of the EIB to do so is regularly reemphasised to the 
Presidents of the Monitoring Committees who keep in close 
contract with the EIB to identify possible loan requests, 
particularly in France.

III ACTIVITY IN 1991 and 1992 
A. Progress of the programmes 
A.1. Progress of the French IMPs 
Activity in the French programmes maintained a satisfactory 
rhythm in 1991 as was shown by the outcome of the examination of 
programme finances. All the French programmes were considered to 
be progressing sufficiently satisfactorily to justify an increase 
in Community credits in conformity with Mr Mi Man's initiative 
described in the previous report. The Commission decided on 31 
July to allocate 60 Mecus from the additional line ex-551 from 
the non allocated resource,to the French programmes on a 
collective basis with the consequent attribution of this sum to 
individual programmes being effected in a series of formal 
Decisions. Negotiations with the French authorities continued 
through the rest of the year in the hope of securing agreement on 
the detailed changes to the programmes by the end of 1991. In 
fact only three Decisions were issued in December (Corse, Drome 
and Ardeche). At the beginning of March 1992 the Decisions 
relating to the revisions of the remaining four programmes were 
issued. 
In the course of 1992 the authorities in several French regions 
requested that unused EAGGF and ESF credits should be mobilised 
to benefit ERDF actions. This request was made taking into 
account the successful implementation of the French IMPs and the 
possibility of using these credits to finance more actions as 
identified by each IMP Monitoring Committee before the end of 
1992. 
In 1992 the French national Cour des Comptes published a report 
on the financial procedures related to the implementation of the 
IMPs. Though critical on a range of issues, it should be noted 
that the report was based on an examination of the IMPs during an 
earlier period and that many of the shortcomings noted had been 
previously recognised and improved procedures introduced. 
The partnership arrangements for the management of the programmes 
worked effectively during 1991-1992. Regular meetings of the 
Monitoring Committees were held in all regions and in most cases 
further evaluation reports were produced by the consultants 
appointed by the Monitoring Committees. In January 1992 the 
French Mission d'Appui organised a seminar on evaluation. The 
duration of the Mission itself was extended to the end of 1992.

A.2. Progress of the Italian IMPs 
Like the French programmes, the Italian regions also shared in 
the final allocation of the remainder of Community credits 
available under Regulation (EEO2088/85. Commissioner Mi I Ian's 
letter of December 1990 also requested details from the Italian 
authorities of expenditure on the IMPs until 31 March 1991. The 
provision of this data in summer 1991 permitted an examination of 
the state of progress in the Italian programmes which, as has 
been described in previous reports, showed a disparity between 
the Mezzogiorno, where initiation had been delayed, and the 
Centre-North, where more progress had been achieved. Prior to 
1991, only two programmes, Toscana and Emilia Romagna, had been 
subject to second phase decisions. 
The examination of progress revealed three broad classifications 
of programmes: 
(a) those probably capable of absorbing additional credits and which 
had made requests for such credits. Implementation of the 
programmes had been in line with plans. Examples were Emil ia-
Romagna, Toscana, Umbria, Abruzzo and Molise. 
(b) those programmes where the pace of impementat ion had been less 
satisfactory but which could be completed within the timescale, 
if there was an acceleration of expenditure. With a steadily 
maintained acceleration, the absorption of additional credits, on 
a lesser scale than in the first case, would be possible. 
(c) those programmes which had experienced a considerable slippage 
(e.g. Lazio, Campania, Liguria, Puglia and SiciMa). For some of 
these it seemed questionable that their credits would be fully 
utilised. However a few programmes in this category were showing 
signs of rapid acceleration and might be recategor ised in class 
(b). 
13 
It was eventually decided that only three programmes should be 
retained in category (c) - Campania, Puglia and Liguria. All the 
other programmes were allocated additional credits from the 
outstanding reserve but the amounts varied, depending on previous 
experience in implementation and the anticipated capacity for 
further absorption. In total these 12 programmes received 
additional credits of 197.75 Mecus. In the cases of Puglia and 
Liguria credits remained frozen at the levels set in the first 
phase decisions. Because of the particularly unsatisfactory state 
of advance in Campania, the credits allocated in the first phase 
decision were actually reduced, by 1 Mecu of L551 funding and 3.5 
Mecus from ERDF. This was the first time that Community credits 
had been reduced on grounds of 
The net effect of all financial 
programmes was an increase in 
Mecus. Together with additional 
changes in the planned expenditure by the Italian authorities and 
the private sector, the global cost of the 15 programmes 
increased by 435 Mecus to 3288.6 Mecus. to an operational programme

The financial adjustments outlined above were effected in a 
series of Commission Decisions made on 16 December 1991. In all 
cases the financial plans for annual expenditure were adjusted to 
take account of the actual progress to date on the ground. The 
opportunity was also taken to apply the provisions on financial 
implementation in Regulation (EEC)N"4253/88 to those IMPs which 
had not previously benefited from this technical amendment (i.e. 
all Italian programmes except Toscana and EmiIia-Romagna).Thus 
the Italian financial procedures were brought into line with 
those for Greece and France. 
Though a national support structure for the Italian programmes 
had commenced its work in April 1990, administrative problems and 
the clarification of its relations with the regions meant that it 
was only able fully to pursue its programme of activities from 
January 1991. In the course of 1991, among other activities, the 
support structure organised seminars on financial engineering, 
regimes of assistance and evaluation. A further national seminar 
on evaluation was held in 1992. The support structure was also 
closely involved in collaboration with the Ministry of Treasury 
in the improvement of the computerised monitoring system for the 
programmes, the provision of technical assistance and in the 
training of operators of the system. 
By 1991 all the Monitoring Committees for the Italian programmes 
were operational, meeting at least once during the year. 
Evaluation reports were presented for 10 programmes, the 
exceptions being Acquacoltura, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania and 
Sardegna. At the end of the year evaluators had not yet been 
appointed in Basilicata and Campania, despite pressure from the 
Commission on the relevant Monitoring Committees. In the case of 
Campania the problem was largely resolved in 1992 by the 
Commission appointing and financing an external consultant to 
carry out these functions using its technical assistance 
facility. However, no consultant has yet been appointed for the 
Basilicata programme.

A.3. Progress of the Greek IMPs 
The improved absorption of Community appropriations in Greece 
is indicated in the statistical annexes. By the end of 1990 
all the Greek programmes had received their second phase 
allocations and 1992.82 Mecus had been attributed. Thus only 
a minimal amount of slightly over 7 Mecus remained to be 
allocated in future modifying decisions. 
This fine-tuning of the programmes was effected in a series 
of 6 decisions adopted by the Commission in February 1992 and 
which increased the allocations to some programmes and 
reduced those to others. Community assistance was increased 
for the Attica and Northern Greece programmes. In the case of 
Attica an additional 37.13 Mecus was awarded, largely 
consisting of a new ERDF contribution of 32.42 Mecus. 4.36 
Mecus from the additional line ex-551 was also awarded with 
minor adjustments to the ESF and EAGGF contributions. In the 
Northern Greece programme, the Community contribution was 
increased by 21.95 Mecus. This increase was largely accounted 
for by an extra 13.14 Mecus in EAGGF assistance and 9.39 
Mecus from the additional line ex-551. The programme which 
underwent the largest reduction in Community assistance was 
Western Greece and the Peloponese where the level of overall 
aid was reduced by 36.55 Mecus including 22.84 Mecus in ERDF 
and 10.22 in additional line ex-551 assistance. Programmes 
for Crete, Eastern and Central Greece, and the Aegean Islands 
were also subject to adjustments on a smaller scale which 
reduced the overall level of Community assistance. 
These downward adjustments should not be regarded in the same 
light as the action taken in 1991 in the case of 
underperforming Italian programmes. Uptake of Community 
assistance in Greece had been exemplary. However, the 
original regulation had set an upper limit on the extent of 
this assistance and, in the latter stages of the programmes, 
decisions had to be made about the most effective utilisation 
of aid. These decisions were made in the light of the 
achievements of the programmes and the scope for further 
productive interventions. In some cases ESF commitment 
appropriations may be slightly different from those appearing 
in the latest Commission decision. The necessary adjustments 
are being carried out.

One significant development in the administration of the 
Greek IMPs in 1991 was the establishment of a support 
structure similar to those previously existing in France and 
Italy. The purpose of this agency was to consider on an 
interregional level issues common to the regional programmes, 
including the IMPs. The operation would assist the efforts of 
public and private operators involved in the programmes 
through the organisation of working groups and meetings for 
the dissemination of information, the exchange of experience 
and the finding of common solutions. A series of 
interventions relevant to specific themes was to be initiated 
using experts in the field. A Commission decision of 2 May 
1991 established the support structure. The Greek structure 
was involved, not only in the IMPs, but also in the new Greek 
regional plurifund operational programmes adopted after the 
reform of the Structural Funds and especially in the 
management and evaluation of the programmes. 
B. Common activities and studies 
In the context of technical assistance a number of studies were 
completed in 1991-1992. 
B.1. Analysis of national financial procedures 
1. In 1990 the Commission requested a study of financial 
procedures in the three countries to analyse the ways in 
which Community funds reached final beneficiaries. This was 
partly in response to complaints raised on occasion in 
Monitoring Committees about delays in the process. Expert 
consultants in each of the three countries were entrusted 
with this analysis. The study was finalised in the early part 
of 1991. 
The analysis of Greek procedures found that the Ministry of 
Finance and the Ministry of National Economy were both 
involved in the financial implementation of the programmes. 
Community funds were received in the Commission's account at 
the Central Bank and were then transferred directly to a 
special Greek state account for budgetary receipts. At the 
time of the study direct payments were increasingly being 
made to final beneficiaries by the Bank of Greece on the 
instructions of the Ministry of National Economy.

3. In France Community ERDF allocations were assigned to the 
Ministry of the Interior budget as supplementary credits 
through the "assistance fund" procedure. Thereafter, these 
were treated as national funds. It was anticipated that in 
the near future the same procedure would be adopted for EAGGF 
assistance with Community funds being allocated to the budget 
of the Ministry of Agriculture, and for ESF assistance in 
relation to the Ministry of Labour or other competent 
agencies. 
4. In Italy the procedures for disbursement of Community funds 
had to be viewed against the background of financial 
relations between central and regional government. The 
regional authorities have the responsibility for programme 
management and for payments to beneficiaries. However, they 
also have only limited authority in deciding the allocation 
of financial resources and 90 % of their budgets is derived 
from central government. A "rotation fund for Community 
policies" was established by national law 183/87 with the 
objective of transferring Community funds to the regions and 
other agencies, and ensuring national cofinancement. After an 
initial period when certain problems were experienced, the 
fund seems at present to be operating as intended. 
5. Detailed comparative analysis of these studies generated 
several suggestions for improvements in procedures at 
national and Commission level. This exercise contributed to 
ongoing work on the wider question of financial procedures in 
the context of the post 1989 reform of structural funds, 
which raised the important issues of transparency and 
addi t iona M ty. 
B. 2. , Analysis of national administrative procedures 
Following the analyses carried out on financial procedures, a 
study was initiated on national administrative procedures, 
again involving separate exercises conducted at national 
level in France, Italy and Greece. The study had a wider 
scope than the IMPs alone, as it included multifund 
programmes initiated after the reform of structural funds in 
1989. However, given approximately five years experience of 
IMPs, these programmes inevitably figured largely in the 
reports, which were completed at national level and 
synthesised in early 1993. The following brief summary of 
this analysis concentrates on those aspects which were 
related to IMPs. 
- 18 -
The analysis of the French procedures noted that the 
experience of those regions with IMPs had marked their 
subsequent approach to operational programmes under the 
reform of the structural funds with a stronger commitment to 
partnership. Though there are variations in practice, 
depending on the number of partners involved in a programme, 
these are essentialy two phases in the selection procedure 
for IMP assistance in France - a technical preparatory phase 
and, on the political level, the phase of programmation. In 
the case of the IMPs these phases involved the partnership of 
national and regional authorities. Possible improvements to 
procedures suggested by the national study, particularly with 
a view to reducing delays in selecting and integrating 
projects in the programmes, included the clarification of 
procedures in relation to project operators, the devolution 
of project administration to the level closest to the 
operators, and improved training for the administrators 
involved. The latter should identify potential beneficiaries 
and initiate studies on the socio-economic impact of the 
programmes. 
For the Greek IMPs, the pattern was one of greater central 
government responsibility for the administration of the 
programmes. For interventions cofinanced by ERDF, the 
Ministry of National Economy (MNE) is the principal operator. 
In recent years, however, government policy has favoured 
greater private sector involvement in programmes. A law of 
1990 encouraged private sector participation in productive 
investment projects and a presidential decree of April 1992 
permits the delegation of management tasks in Community 
programmes to intermediary agencies. The responsible ministry 
for interventions co-financed by ESF is less directly 
involved than MNE but procedures vary in different parts of 
the country. FEOGA interventions are administered and 
monitored by the Agriculture Ministry. In retrospect the IMPs 
are seen to have played an important role in the development 
of Greek administration and this has been reinforced by the 
operational programmes introduced under the reform of the 
structural funds. The IMPs introduced medium-term planning on 
an ad hoc basis and this has been further developed in the 
operational programmes. Similarly, operational programme 
monitoring committees have had an increasingly important role 
following the 1989 reform, giving greater responsibilities to 
regional authorities and an impetus to the decentralisation 
of pub Iic serv ices. 
19 -
The Greek study identified a number of problems which 
remained in the administration of integrated programmes, some 
deriving from the inadequacy of existing procedures, others 
from a failure to use them fully. Suggestions for 
improvements included : greater use of technical assistance 
funding at all stages of programme implementation ; 
strengthening of public administration structures, centrally 
and regionally, through improved management training, 
technical support and information processing ; better 
coordination between the three ministries administering 
Community funding ; and experimental pilot projects involving 
the decentralisation of responsibilities. 
The administrative procedures for programmes in Italy were 
characterised by considerable complexity and the involvement 
of several regional agencies. It was difficult to generalise 
about Italian arrangements as procedures differed between 
IMPs and post 1989 operational programmes, and between the 
Mezzogiorno regions and those in the Centre-North. For the 
IMPs, the regional administrations played a clear leading 
role. Certain regions invited local public and private 
agencies to propose interventions and then used these 
responses as the basis for draft programmes which were 
transmitted to the national authorities for negotiation with 
the Commission. This process tended to produce a fairly rigid 
programme with clearly identified measures, usually 
correlated with the plans of operators on the ground. With 
the programme contract signed, work continued on the 
technical preparation of the programme. In the case of other 
IMPs (as with the new operational programmes), the 
timescales, criteria and selection procedures for private 
projects were defined by the regional authorities after the 
adoption of the programmes. Whichever approach was adopted, 
timescales were often regrettably long both for the 
preparation of programmes and the application of Community 
funds. However, new national laws and procedures on Community 
interventions envisage the shortening of timescales. Other 
possible improvements to procedures identified in the Italian 
study included : improved information on programmes for the 
benefit of local administrations and the public ; improved 
training for officials ; allocation of technical assistance 
finance to programme operators ; studies to be made of 
programme procedures as well as content ; and improved 
operation of monitoring committees. The study also suggested 
changes in procedures for future programmes, based on 
experience of both IMPs and current multifund operational 
programmes. 
- 20 -
Comparison of the three studies revealed certain suggestions 
for improvements which recurred in each country, such as more 
information for beneficiaries and the strenghtening of public 
administration through training and technical assistance. The 
benefits of effective monitoring committees and 
decentralisation were also common themes. The function of the 
IMPs as precursors of the reformed operational programmes was 
also highl ighted,. The experience of the latter wi M , in turn, 
inform the programmation of structural interventions for the 
per iod 1994-99.

IV PHYSICAL PROGRESS OF PROGRAMMES 
The collection of details of the physical progress of programmes 
through the use of quantifiable indicators has been a task of the 
evaluators appointed by the Monitoring Committees. The following 
tables show a range of indicators chosen by the Commission as being 
relevant to a broad range of programmes. These particular indicators 
are not relevant to certain specialist sectorial programmes 
(Information Technology in Greece and Aquaculture in Italy). For 
other programmes shown, sub-programmes and measures may not relate to 
certain of the indicators. In somie cases the data collected at 
regional level may not equate to the specific indicator in the 
Commission's table and the results have been omitted. The data shown 
cover six French , six Greek and four Italian programmes and show the 
position at the beginning of 1992. Though obviously giving an 
incomplete picture, there is sufficient evidence of impressive 
physical progress on the ground in these regions. The ex post 
evaluation to be commissioned in 1993 will obtain a more 
comprehensive survey of the achievements of the IMPs.
