CORRIGENDA
Corrigendum to Special Report No 12/2001 of the Court of Auditors concerning certain structural measures to
improve the employment situation: the impact of ERDF aid on employment and ESF measures to combat
long-term unemployment, together with the Commission’s replies

Although the programme is aimed at the private sector operating in a commercial market-led environment, the aid can only be paid to ‘non-profit business intermediaries promoting trade and investment between the EU and Asia’, i.e. public and non-profit making organisations, or local administrations. In practice projects are often with trade associations or organisations, which themselves are nominally non-profit making but are funded by private sector companies to further commercial aims. This financing constraint risks excluding potentially valuable projects such as those involving direct business partners who, for reasons of commercial secrecy, may not wish to use intermediaries or trade associations. Box 10 — Application procedure 1. An Asia IT & C project where the main applicant was a higher level educational institution in Vietnam which had the objective to evaluate existing European graduate level IT & C e-learning courses in the context of developing significant local expertise in Vietnam described their experience. They found the application procedure time-consuming as it took them three months to complete the proposal. Their Director went to Europe to ask how to fill out the proposal. They also had a problem because they completed the budget using an old template of the Commission so it was not accepted and had to be re-done. They found the guidance documents difficult to understand and had to ask a successful Asian contact for help. 2. Another higher education institution in Vietnam with three Asia Invest projects in areas relating to business management administration said that they found the administrative burden of the application procedure too heavy and were disappointed that the applications could not be presented on-line. This beneficiary has presented three applications and has had to present the same documentation three times. They had difficulty in providing their statutes. 3. A Chinese Industrial Association whose project aimed at training businesses in waste water treatment considered that the work load requested for the application is too heavy. The main problems for them was that the plan of activities requested was too detailed, it is very difficult e.g. for one applicant to know several months in advance who is going to give a speech. Some documents have had to be translated from Chinese into English, which was very expensive both in terms of time and of money.
