COMUNICACIÓN DE LA COMISIÓN AL CONSEJO Y AL

PARLAMENTO EUROPEO

SOBRE LOS GASTOS REALIZADOS POR LOS ESTADOS MIEMBROS Y COFINANCIADOS POR LA COMUNIDAD PARA PONER EN PRÁCTICA LOS SISTEMAS DE SEGUIMIENTO Y DE CONTROL APLICABLES EN EL MARCO DE LA POLÍTICA PESQUERA COMÚN DURANTE EL PERIODO DE 2001-2006

1. JUSTIFICACIÓN DE LA COFINANCIACIÓN COMUNITARIA DEL CONTROL DE LA PESCA

Las normas comunitarias sobre la conservación de las poblaciones de peces que forman parte de la política pesquera común (PPC) solo pueden ser eficaces si los Estados miembros, que son los responsables de la aplicación correcta de dichas normas, disponen de los recursos humanos y de los medios técnicos suficientes. Esta es la razón por la que, desde 1990, la Comunidad aplica un régimen de ayuda financiera destinado a apoyar a los Estados miembros en sus esfuerzos para aplicar las normas comunitarias sobre control de la pesca. Con el fin de responder a las evaluaciones relativas a la eficacia de las medidas subvencionadas, así como a los nuevos retos que plantea el control de la pesca, el régimen de ayuda ha sido objeto de varias modificaciones. Entre ellas se incluyen las aportadas por las Decisiones 2001/431/CE [1] y 2004/465/CE [2] del Consejo, que constituyen los actos legislativos que determinan la configuración del régimen de ayuda para los periodos 2001-03 y 2004-06, respectivamente.

2. DECISIONES 2001/431/CE Y 2004/465/CE DEL CONSEJO

2.1. Tipos de gastos cofinanciados por la Comunidad

Los tipos de gastos que pueden optar a la ayuda comunitaria, como se establece en el artículo 2 de la Decisión 2001/431/CE del Consejo, se han incorporado y ampliado en el correspondiente artículo 4 de la Decisión 2004/465/CE del Consejo, aunque con algunos ligeros cambios de redacción.

De esta manera, ambas Decisiones prevén la concesión de ayuda para la creación de redes informáticas que facilitan el intercambio de datos sobre controles entre las autoridades de los diferentes Estados miembros, así como entre éstas y la Comisión.

La cofinanciación del gasto relacionado con la utilización de nuevas tecnologías en el control de la pesca debe permitir impulsar medidas innovadoras. Mientras la Decisión 2001/431/CE incluye los gastos para SLB y dispositivos electrónicos de registro en el artículo sobre «nuevas tecnologías», la Decisión 2004/465/CE los considera una partida de gastos independiente.

Para aumentar las competencias de los funcionarios de los departamentos de control y fomentar la búsqueda de la coordinación con las autoridades de otros Estados miembros, se han incluido programas de formación e intercambio en la lista de los proyectos subvencionables.

Habida cuenta de la participación de la Comunidad en las organizaciones regionales de pesca (ORP) y su interés en que éstas sean eficaces, los costes contraídos por los Estados miembros para la aplicación de los nuevos programas de inspección y de observadores en el marco de las ORP, pertenecen al grupo de los gastos subvencionables en virtud del régimen de 2001-03. En lo que respecta a los años 2004-06, el ámbito de la disposición se ha ampliado de modo que los regímenes piloto de inspección y de observadores son subvencionables en general y no solo los relativos a las ORP.

Además, la Comunidad cofinancia la adquisición y modernización de equipos de inspección, control y vigilancia. Este tipo de gastos abarca desde reparaciones menores a la construcción de buques y aeronaves de vigilancia nuevos.

Por último, se consideran también subvencionables los gastos relacionados con sistemas para evaluar el gasto contraído al realizar el control de la PPC.

Teniendo en cuenta las diferentes perspectivas de los Estados miembros frente a la persecución de infracciones graves a las normas de la PPC, el régimen de 2004-06 añadió a la categoría de gastos subvencionables los seminarios e instrumentos multimedia destinados a lograr una mayor concienciación sobre la necesidad de luchar contra la pesca ilegal. Por otra parte, a finales de 2005 [3] los gastos contraídos por los Estados miembros y relacionados con estudios sobre el control de la pesca, llevados a cabo a iniciativa de la Comisión, pasaron a ser subvencionables gracias a una modificación.

2.2. Porcentajes de participación

En los artículos 5 a 10 de la Decisión 2001/431/CE del Consejo y en el artículo 6, apartado 2, de la Decisión 2004/465/CE del Consejo se determinan los porcentajes máximos de participación financiera por tipo de gasto subvencionable para los años 2001-03 y 2004-06, respectivamente. Tal como se expone en la sección izquierda del cuadro del anexo I, el régimen de 2004-06 solo ha introducido pequeños cambios en comparación con el régimen anterior.

3. DECISIONES ANUALES DE FINANCIACIÓN DE LA COMISIÓN

3.1. Porcentajes de participación

Como se observa en la sección derecha del cuadro del anexo I, las decisiones anuales de financiación adoptadas por la Comisión para ejecutar las disposiciones de las Decisiones 2001/431/CE y 2004/465/CE han fijado los porcentajes de participación en los niveles máximos permitidos en virtud de esas dos Decisiones.

La única excepción es el porcentaje de participación en el gasto relacionado con las tecnologías de la información en las decisiones de financiación de 2002 y 2003, donde se aplicó un 50 % en lugar del 65 % permitido.

Las disposiciones relativas al SLB se aplicaron de manera similar en los periodos de 2001-03 y 2004-06. En ambos periodos se determinó un gasto máximo subvencionable que puede optar a cofinanciación para un dispositivo de localización vía satélite y un límite a partir del cual el porcentaje de participación pasa del 100 % al 50 %.

3.2. Compromisos generales

Tanto la Decisión 2001/431/CE como la Decisión modificada 2004/465/CE establecen, en su artículo 4, apartado 2, y en su artículo 5, apartado 1, respectivamente, una participación máxima de la Comunidad en el control de la pesca de 105 millones de euros, a lo largo de tres años. La ejecución de dichas disposiciones ha tenido lugar a través de las decisiones anuales de financiación de la Comisión. En ellas se ha determinado, para cada Estado miembro, el gasto subvencionable en cada categoría de gastos así como los porcentajes de la participación financiera, que ha dado lugar a unas participaciones máximas globales de 100 890 377 euros para 2001-03 y de 98 319 418 euros para 2004-06 [4].

3.3. Participaciones máximas por categoría de gastos subvencionables

Al comparar los porcentajes relativos de las diferentes partidas de gastos en relación con las participaciones máximas globales durante los periodos 2001-03 y 2004-06 (véase la figura I), se encuentran grandes similitudes. La construcción y modernización de buques y aeronaves representa con mucho el porcentaje más elevado (56 % y 62,2 %), seguido por la cofinanciación de nuevas tecnologías (20,6 % y 16,6 %).

2004-06

Figura I - Participaciones máximas por tipo de gasto subvencionable

Para facilitar su presentación, estos porcentajes se han fusionado con las participaciones comunitarias en SLB y en otros dispositivos electrónicos de comunicación. La ayuda financiera para la creación de redes informáticas ocupa el tercer lugar (16,7 % y 15,3 %) y es superior a la ayuda financiera para los cursos de formación de inspectores de control (6,1 % y 3,9 %).

En ambos periodos (2001-03 y 2004-06), los porcentajes de participación para establecer un sistema de evaluación de gastos constituyen la partida más pequeña de gastos (0,5 % y 0,1 %) y son inferiores a la ayuda correspondiente a los seminarios de concienciación (1,7 % en 2004-06) y a la aplicación de los nuevos programas de inspección (0,3 % en 2004-06).

3.3.1. Importancia relativa de la participación comunitaria en el equipamiento de control

Como puede observarse en la figura I, que muestra un incremento de porcentaje del 56 % al 62 %, la adquisición y modernización de los buques y aeronaves representa más del 50 % del compromiso comunitario tanto en 2001-03 como en 2004-06. Obviamente, ese predominio está ante todo vinculado al coste medio de las partidas en esta categoría de gastos. La construcción de buques marítimos puede alcanzar costes de varios millones de euros, mientras que las demás categorías nunca se acercarán a esos niveles. No obstante, con objeto de recortar la participación comunitaria en esta categoría de gastos, la Comisión aprovechó la exposición de motivos adjunta a la propuesta de régimen de ayuda financiera para el periodo 2001-03 [5] para anunciar el paso de una lógica de «primer equipamiento» a otra más selectiva dirigida solamente a «la renovación y el complemento». A continuación, la práctica de la Comisión ha sido cada vez más restrictiva con respecto a la concesión de ayuda financiera a esta categoría de gastos. Para el periodo de 2001-03, en lo que respecta al equipamiento de control, la proporción de compromisos en relación con el gasto solicitado en los programas nacionales de control fue solo del 74 %, y descendió hasta un 48 % durante el periodo de 2004-06. No obstante, los esfuerzos de la Comisión se vieron frustrados por la tendencia de los Estados miembros a solicitar importes cada vez más altos. Mientras el gasto previsto para el equipamiento de control se situó en 2001 en unos 40 millones de euros, para los programas de control de 2006 ascendió a más de 190 millones de euros. Ni siquiera invirtió esta tendencia la reducción del porcentaje de participación máximo para gastos de equipamiento que se aplicó en las decisiones de financiación de 2004 en adelante (25 % de cofinanciación en lugar de 35 %).

3.3.2. Categorías de gastos poco utilizadas o no utilizadas en absoluto

Como puede observarse en la figura I, para algunas categorías de gastos no hay gastos subvencionables, o los hay en muy pequeña medida. En el periodo de 2001-03, eso se confirma en lo que respecta a los gastos de los Estados miembros correspondientes a la aplicación de los nuevos programas de inspección y de observadores en el marco de las ORP. Teniendo en cuenta que solo dos Estados miembros solicitaron con éxito las participaciones correspondientes, parece que el mismo problema se plantea en el establecimiento de un sistema de evaluación del gasto.

También durante el periodo de 2004-06, solo dos de los programas de control de los Estados miembros dieron lugar a compromisos para esos dos tipos de gastos. De las nuevas categorías de gastos introducidas en el régimen de 2004-06, los Estados miembros únicamente solicitaron la cofinanciación de seminarios sobre pesca ilegal con el resultado de los compromisos correspondientes [6].

4. VISIÓN GENERAL DE LAS PARTIDAS FINANCIADAS

Las decisiones de financiación del periodo 2001-06 han reembolsado hasta ahora 472 de los 900 proyectos que optaron a la cofinanciación comunitaria. Los siguientes datos se refieren a una selección de partidas de gastos que están relativamente normalizadas y pueden, por lo tanto, agruparse en todos los Estados miembros. Dichos datos permiten obtener una idea más concreta de lo que se ha conseguido hasta ahora con la ayuda de la Comunidad.

Se han cofinanciado 161 proyectos de formación de personal empleado en el control de la pesca, varios de los cuales consistieron en un intercambio de personal entre los Estados miembros. Además, cinco proyectos se dedicaron exclusivamente al intercambio de personal de control con objeto de favorecer la cooperación y la coordinación entre Estados miembros. A este respecto, cabe señalar que cuatro de los siete Estados miembros que accedieron en 2004 a la UE y que son Estados ribereños han recibido cofinanciación para proyectos parcial o totalmente destinados al intercambio de inspectores. No obstante, tres de esos siete Estados miembros no realizaron ningún intercambio cofinanciado, y dos de ellos no lograron ni siquiera efectuar un curso de formación cofinanciado. Teniendo en cuenta las ventajas potenciales, especialmente para los nuevos Estados miembros, se observa que el potencial de los programas de intercambio todavía no ha sido aprovechado plenamente.

A primera vista, parece impresionante el número total de 5 066 «cajas azules» cofinanciadas en virtud de las decisiones de financiación de 2001-06. No obstante, si se considera con más detenimiento se aprecia que esa cantidad dista mucho de ser satisfactoria. La Decisión 2004/690/CE [7] de la Comisión (decisión de financiación), por ejemplo, está totalmente dedicada a los SLB y se ha elaborado sobre la base de solicitudes concretas de los Estados miembros. Sin embargo, solo se han cofinanciado 1 050 cajas azules, a pesar de que se consideraron subvencionables 4 653. Si se parte de que las solicitudes de los Estados miembros estaban basadas en una evaluación realista del número de buques que tienen la obligación de llevar a bordo una «caja azul», parece razonable dar prioridad a gastos relacionados con el SLB en futuras decisiones de financiación.

En lo que respecta al gasto, habida cuenta de la elevada cantidad que interviene en la financiación de los buques, es conveniente clasificarlos por costes globales de construcción. Lo mismo ocurre con las diferentes categorías de buques. La categoría más pequeña abarca los buques que cuestan hasta 50 000 euros [8], entre los que se incluyen los botes neumáticos rígidos que se utilizan habitualmente para cubrir pequeñas distancias y que también pueden faenar en aguas costeras. En este caso la Comunidad ha contribuido al suministro de unos 27 buques de esta categoría.

Los precios oscilan entre 50 000 y 1 000 000 euros y cubren la mayoría de los buques de vigilancia, 33 de los cuales se construyeron con una participación de la Comunidad. Los buques que cuestan mucho más de 1 000 000 euros representan la categoría de buques de vigilancia encargados de controles en alta mar, a veces muy lejos de aguas europeas. De esos buques, 13 se construyeron con una participación de la Comunidad.

5. EJECUCIÓN DE LOS PROGRAMAS ANUALES DE CONTROL

Después de describir la estructura de los compromisos comunitarios y de facilitar cifras concretas sobre las partidas financiadas hasta ahora, es preciso proporcionar una perspectiva más general del estado de ejecución en que se encuentran los programas nacionales de control.

El cálculo de la proporción de liberaciones globales sobre compromisos iniciales arroja un porcentaje de no ejecución total del 25 % para el periodo de 2001-03 y del 14 % para el periodo de 2004-06. Teniendo en cuenta que esas cifras van acompañadas de una proporción de compromisos pendientes de liquidación sobre compromisos iniciales del 33 % y del 53 % respectivamente, solo el porcentaje de no ejecución correspondiente al periodo de 2001-03 parece lo suficientemente definitivo para ser objeto de análisis complementarios.

Dado que el porcentaje de no ejecución del 25 % y el porcentaje de compromisos pendientes de liquidación del 33 % significan que el porcentaje restante (42 % de compromisos iniciales) se ha ejecutado, la proporción de liberaciones sobre contribuciones abonadas es aproximadamente de 1 sobre 2 [9]. Esto hace pensar que hasta el cierre de todos los programas relativos al periodo 2001-03, el porcentaje de no ejecución aumentará probablemente hasta alcanzar al menos el 33% como consecuencia de nuevas liberaciones; considerando que aumente la probabilidad de que los compromisos pendientes de liquidación sean liberados cuanto más tiempo pase desde el compromiso inicial, el 33 % parece incluso una estimación bastante conservadora. Evidentemente, tanto el porcentaje de no ejecución comunicado como el porcentaje estimado de no ejecución final, o éste incluso más, son demasiado elevados.

5.1. Relación entre los porcentajes de no ejecución y la participación máxima

El cuadro del anexo II ilustra las estructuras subyacentes y proporciona una clasificación de los Estados miembros cubiertos por el régimen de 2001-03 con respecto a su porcentaje de no ejecución. Los Estados miembros señalados con un asterisco (*) no deben tenerse en cuenta, ya que tienen compromisos pendientes de liquidación significativamente superiores al porcentaje global actual (y, por consiguiente, porcentajes de no ejecución engañosamente bajos). No obstante, los diez Estados miembros restantes pueden tenerse en cuenta, sin riesgo de error, para el análisis.

Tal como se observa en el cuadro, los porcentajes de no ejecución para los Estados miembros numerados del 1 al 10 oscilan entre un cuarto de la participación máxima y casi el 100 %. La comparación de esas cifras con la clasificación que figura en la mitad del cuadro (la participación máxima concedida a los Estados miembros) muestra claramente que no hay pruebas de una correlación positiva sistemática entre los porcentajes de no ejecución y la cantidad de la participación máxima. Un país como Bélgica, a pesar de que goza de la segunda participación máxima más pequeña, tiene el segundo mayor porcentaje de no ejecución. A España, por el contrario, le corresponde la segunda mayor participación de la Comunidad y sin embargo tiene un porcentaje de no ejecución considerablemente inferior al porcentaje medio del 51 %. Como demuestran los casos de Finlandia y Grecia, tampoco hay un respaldo convincente a una correlación en la dirección opuesta. Por consiguiente, la cantidad de la participación máxima concedida a un Estado miembro no parece que tenga nada que ver con la ejecución del programa por parte de ese Estado miembro.

5.2. Relación entre la participación máxima y las liberaciones

La conclusión es diferente si se pasa del valor relativo de las liberaciones al absoluto, como se aprecia en la parte derecha del cuadro. Si se compara esta clasificación con la basada en la participación máxima por Estado miembro puede observarse una sólida correlación. Los cinco países con las participaciones máximas más elevadas (excluidos los Estados miembros indicados con un asterisco) son también los cinco países con los importes liberados más altos. Mientras este modelo tiene su origen en la estructura de la asignación de compromisos (los siete países mayores receptores representan el 87 % de la participación máxima global), esta correlación podría debilitarse si los países que más se benefician del régimen aumentaran sus esfuerzos para reducir sus porcentajes de no ejecución. En el futuro, sería de desear que todos los Estados miembros que disfrutan de una participación máxima situada por encima de la media produjeran un porcentaje de no ejecución que estuviera por debajo de la media.

5.3. Razones de la escasa ejecución de los programas de control

Las razones para la no ejecución de una parte significativa de los programas de control anuales son variadas y, dado que los Estados miembros no suelen comunicar ningún motivo, es imposible elaborar una lista representativa. Por lo general, para abandonar un proyecto hay dos explicaciones válidas.

5.3.1. Sobrevaloración por parte de los Estados miembros de sus capacidades presupuestarias

En primer lugar, la frecuencia de los proyectos anulados por los Estados miembros que ya han visto calificar de no subvencionable por la Comisión buena parte de su gasto previsto en el programa de control sugiere que el ámbito de los programas de control podría ser, a priori, demasiado amplio. Frente a lo anterior, serían convenientes programas de control anuales más modestos y más realistas al mismo tiempo.

5.3.2. Gastos no subvencionables

Una segunda explicación se refiere a la no subvencionabilidad del gasto. Los proyectos introducidos en un programa de control determinado, pero iniciados antes del año al que hace referencia el programa de control, son ejemplos típicos y siempre desembocan en el rechazo de la Comisión a las correspondientes solicitudes de reembolso.

Para que esos problemas no fueran tan frecuentes, los Estados miembros deberían observar con mayor rigurosidad las normas aplicables a la financiación comunitaria del control de la pesca. De manera similar, los Estados miembros deberían ponerse en contacto con el personal de la Comisión responsable en caso de dudas sobre la interpretación de determinadas normas, y así evitarían trabajar basándose en suposiciones que pueden finalmente revelarse falsas y acarrear la denegación de la participación comunitaria.

En este contexto, cabe señalar que el incumplimiento inicial de las normas relativas a los documentos de acompañamiento que deben adjuntarse a cada solicitud de reembolso [10] es una fuente frecuente de retrasos en los reembolsos. Si los Estados miembros observaran las normas en su totalidad se acelerarían los pagos.

6. REPERCUSIÓN DE LOS PROGRAMAS DE CONTROL DE 2001-06

En el artículo 16, letra b), de la Decisión 2004/465/CE del Consejo, modificada por la Decisión 2006/2/CE del Consejo, se solicita, entre otras cosas, una evaluación global de la repercusión de los programas de control de la actividad pesquera durante todo el periodo de 2001-06. No obstante, solamente los informes de unos pocos Estados miembros cumplen satisfactoriamente esta obligación [11].

Este desequilibrio en la presentación de informes dificulta la realización de una evaluación general de la repercusión. No obstante, algunas tendencias se reproducen en los informes de evaluación de más de un Estado miembro y, por lo tanto, puede considerarse que reflejan tendencias más generales.

6.1. Impulso frente a ahorro

En primer lugar, la ayuda comunitaria parece tener un efecto significativo en el comportamiento adquisitivo de los Estados miembros. Dos Estados miembros manifiestan explícitamente que, en lugar de reducir únicamente el gasto que habrían contraído de cualquier modo, la financiación comunitaria les ha inducido a ejecutar proyectos que de otra manera no habrían llevado a cabo [12]. En los casos en que la ayuda de la UE no ha dado como resultado la realización de proyectos imposibles de realizar sin ella, se ha producido al menos la elección de soluciones [13] de mayor calidad o una ejecución más temprana de los proyectos [14].

6.2. Conexión y coordinación entre Estados miembros

Muchos informes coinciden también en enfatizar en la conexión y coordinación que al parecer ha aumentado entre Estados miembros [15]. Los programas de intercambio de inspectores de pesca, así como los nuevos programas informáticos de los centros de vigilancia pesquera, que permiten un fácil intercambio de información entre Estados miembros, son solo dos ejemplos.

6.3. Efectos cuantitativos

Además de los efectos cualitativos, muchos Estados miembros resaltan el impacto cuantitativo de la ayuda comunitaria, que se aprecia fundamentalmente en las inversiones en equipamiento de control (por ejemplo, buques, aeronaves) y cursos de formación, que han contribuido a preparar a un número significativo de personal nuevo para trabajar en el control de actividades pesqueras.

6.4. Repercusión de los programas de control en cifras

Mientras la mayoría de los Estados miembros que notifican la repercusión de la ayuda comunitaria no facilitan datos concretos, cuatro de ellos aplican indicadores numéricos, tal como se establece en el artículo 16, letra b), inciso iii), de la Decisión 2004/465/CE del Consejo.

España comunica el número de las inspecciones anuales. Las realizadas en barco han pasado de 320 durante 2001 a 2 612 en 2006 y han dado lugar a un incremento de las infracciones detectadas, que pasan de 129 en 2001 a 959 en 2006.

Las autoridades italianas comunican con respecto al mismo periodo un incremento del número total de controles del 71 %, pero no solo los efectuados en el mar. También en este caso se observan repercusiones positivas, ya que el número de infracciones graves y de carácter administrativo detectadas aumentaron un 58 % y un 26 % respectivamente.

El informe portugués compara los buques observados y los buques inspeccionados en 2006 con las cifras equivalentes de 2001 y se aprecia un incremento espectacular, de 1 432 a 33 975 y de 1 929 a 6 750, respectivamente.

Estonia ha proporcionado un indicador sobre la evolución de las infracciones en la comunicación y registro de datos de 2004 a 2007. No obstante, el número de infracciones detectado es, por lo general, bajo y hace imposible sacar conclusiones acertadas desde el punto de vista de las estadísticas.

Es imposible, por varias razones, extrapolar los números comunicados en esta sección para llegar a estimaciones del efecto de las inversiones en otros Estados miembros. No obstante, las cifras proporcionan al menos una base para suponer que la ayuda comunitaria ha tenido una influencia considerable en las capacidades de control de los Estados miembros y repercusiones inmediatas en el rendimiento de las autoridades de control.

7. RECOMENDACIONES FINALES

A pesar de calificar de positiva la repercusión de la ayuda comunitaria en el control de las actividades pesqueras, el informe también pone de relieve la necesidad de mejoras, que se traducen en las siguientes medidas prácticas:

La Comisión debería:

· seguir sometiendo un número cada vez mayor de proyectos relativos a la construcción y la modernización de buques y aeronaves a un examen crítico en cuanto a su necesidad;

· dar preferencia en las futuras decisiones de financiación a la cofinanciación relacionada con la automatización y la gestión de datos, cuadernos diarios de pesca electrónicos y SLB, así como a los programas de formación e intercambio, especialmente en el ámbito de la pesca ilegal;

· celebrar memorandos de acuerdo con los Estados miembros que todavía no hayan firmado uno [16]; estos acuerdos tendrán por objeto definir las necesidades de mejora de los regímenes nacionales de control en el contexto de la ayuda financiera comunitaria para el control de las actividades pesqueras; establecerán un marco para los análisis estratégicos de riesgo y definirán referencias para esas mejoras; dichas referencias cubrirán todos los aspectos relacionados con la inspección, desde los marcos legales nacionales hasta los medios y procedimientos de inspección o la utilización de SLB y otros datos; también indicarán las mejoras que habrán de introducirse en lo que respecta al control administrativo, la estructura organizativa nacional y el seguimiento de las infracciones.

Los Estados miembros deberían:

· limitar el alcance de sus programas de control anuales de manera que sea factible la aplicación de todos los proyectos;

· en el caso de los Estados miembros EU-10, decidirse a financiar programas de formación e intercambio de personal de control;

· fomentar la sensibilización de la administración sobre la posibilidad de cofinanciación de las categorías de gastos que hasta ahora no han tenido mucha aceptación en los programas de control de los Estados miembros; se apreciarían principalmente los esfuerzos por establecer un sistema para evaluar el gasto, ya que ese sistema podría ayudar a los Estados miembros a alcanzar el objetivo mencionado de elaborar unos programas de control anuales más selectivos;

· garantizar la reducción de su porcentaje de no ejecución; a este respecto, los Estados miembros que disfrutan de una participación máxima situada por encima de la media tienen una responsabilidad especial y deben producir un porcentaje de no ejecución que esté por debajo de la media;

· garantizar que el personal responsable de la aplicación de los programas es plenamente consciente de las normas de admisibilidad de los gastos y, de este modo, reducir el riesgo de que la Comisión considere no subvencionables los gastos solicitados;

· garantizar la ejecución de los memorandos de acuerdo celebrados con la Comisión;

· cumplir estrictamente el formato y los plazos establecidos en relación con los informes de evaluación anuales.
