	Bruselj, 7.12.2004KOM(2004) 781 končno2004/0272 (COD).PredlogSKLEP EVROPSKEGA PARLAMENTA IN SVETAo spremembah Odločbe Sveta 2000/819/ES o večletnem programu za podjetja in podjetništvo ter zlasti za mala in srednja podjetja (MSP) (2001-2005).(predložena s strani Komisije)OBRAZLOŽITVENI MEMORANDUM1. Večletni program (v nadaljevanju MAP) za podjetja in podjetništvo ter zlasti za mala in srednja podjetja (MSP) je bil sprejet 20. decembra 2000, z začetkom veljave 1. januarja 2001 do 31. decembra 2005 s proračunom v višini 450 milijonov EUR.2. Cilj MAP je doseči naslednje cilje:-  okrepiti rast in konkurenčnost podjetij v na znanju temelječi in internacionalizirani ekonomiji;-  pospeševati podjetništvo;-  poenostaviti in izboljšati administrativni ter regulativni okvir za podjetja, da bi lahko raziskave, inovacije in ustanavljanje podjetij napredovalo kar najboljše;-  izboljšati finančno okolje za podjetja, še posebej MSP;-  podjetjem omogočiti lažji dostop do podpornih storitev, programov in omrežij Skupnosti ter izboljšati koordinacijo med temi sistemi;-  podpirati izvajanje Evropske listine za mala podjetja na ravni Skupnosti.3. MAP se izvaja na podlagi treh tipov instrumentov za dosego ciljev:-  izmenjava izkušenj in prepoznavanje dobre prakse med državami članicami;-  delovanje omrežja Evropskih informacijskih centrov, ki nudijo storitve ter svetujejo glede evropskih zadev podjetjem v evropskih regijah;-  zagotavljanje številnih finančnih instrumentov Skupnosti za MSP s pomočjo Evropskega investicijskega sklada (EIF).4. Neodvisni strokovnjaki so izvedli zunanjo oceno MAP. Strokovnjaki so potrdili, da je MAP izpolnil splošne cilje ter da so bili instrumenti za dosego ciljev učinkoviti:-  Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so finančni instrumenti Skupnosti uspešno doprinesli k olajševanju dostopa MSP do financ. Obravnavajo znane tržne luknje ali tržne neučinkovitosti, ki bodo še obstajale, kljub integraciji trga za finančne storitve. Ocene so pokazale, da prekomerno usmerjanje finančnih instrumentov Skupnosti za MSP na posebne ekonomske sektorje ali na določene cilje politike lahko omeji njihovo sprejetje na trgu. Poleg tega je potrebno doseči večjo razvidnost finančnih instrumentov Skupnosti. Vloga EIF pri delovanju finančnih instrumentov Skupnosti za MSP na podlagi povpraševanja se je pokazala kot najboljša praksa.-  Ocene so potrdile pozitivno vlogo omrežja Evropskih informacijskih centrov pri zagotavljanju poslovne podpore za MSP. Vendar je bilo predlagano, da je potrebno transverzalno vlogo omrežja Evropskih informacijskih centrov pri zagotavljanju programa okrepiti, na primer pri širjenju programskih aktivnosti ter rezultatov.-  Predlagano je bilo, da naj izmenjava izkušenj ter prepoznavanje dobre prakse med državami članicami, z namenom izboljševati okolje za podjetništvo in podjetja, postaneta bolj osredotočena. Prav tako bi učinkovitost povečalo spremljanje nadaljnjih aktivnosti, ki jih izvajajo države članice.5. Izvajanje MAP je bilo redno vrednoteno. Ena izmed ocen je zadevala program Skupna evropska vlaganja (v nadaljevanju JEV), ki je bil del Pobude rasti in zaposlovanja, ki jo je sprejel Svet leta 1998 in kateri je bil vključen v MAP na koncu leta 2000, vendar brez dodatnega proračuna. Poročilo o oceni 2003 o Pobudi za rast in zaposlovanje je navedlo slabo stroškovno učinkovitost in nizko tržno povpraševanje za program JEV in spodbudilo Komisijo, da je predlagala spremembo MAP, da bi JEV lahko postopno odpravili. Evropski parlament in Svet sta zadevno spremembo programa sprejela z odločbo 21. julija 2004.[1]6. Javno posvetovanje o možnih elementih prihodnjega podpornega programa za konkurenčnost podjetništva in podjetij, ki bi nasledil MAP, je Komisija izvedla od marca do maja 2004. To posvetovanje je nakazalo močno podporo širšemu izhodišču za analize politike, razvoj in koordinacijo, kot tudi za določene ukrepe za pomoč podjetjem, da bi bila konkurenčna in inovativna.7. Predlagani program naslednik bi se začel leta 2006 na podlagi tekočih finančnih perspektiv ter končal leta 2010, ki je ciljni datum za dosego ambicioznih ciljev, določenih v lizbonski agendi. Izziv novega programa bi tako bil pridonesti h konkurenčnosti na bolj vsestranski način, kot je to doseženo z MAP. Po oceni in javnem posvetovanju se je Komisija odločila, da bi okvirni program lahko najbolj povečal inovacije in konkurenčnost. Komisija je tako v Sporočilu z dne 14. julija 2004[2] predlagala pripravo takšnega okvirnega programa v kontekstu nove finančne perspektive (2007-2013). Okvirni program bo zagotavljal sredstva in instrumente za izvajanje politik na različnih področjih, ki vplivajo na evropsko konkurenčnost. To bi vključevalo:-  Izboljševanje poslovnega okolja (dostop do investicijskega kapitala, varna elektronska omrežja, učinkovito zagotavljanje poslovnih storitev v EU ter modernizirane storitve z uporabo informacijskih in komunikacijskih tehnologij (ICT)).-  Zagotavljanje, da inovacije služijo za pospeševanje konkurenčnosti in se izpeljejo v praktično delovanje na poslovni ravni. (Sodelovanje z Okvirnim programom za raziskavo “Tehnološke platforme”, okoljske tehnologije, obnovljiva energija, delo z Agencijo za inteligentno energijo).-  Podporo evropski politiki o konkurenčnosti podjetij, inovacijah, podjetništvu in MSP s strokovnim znanjem in izkušnjami politike in pospeševanjem dejavnosti EU.8. Takšnega predloga Komisije za okvirni program za inovacije in konkurenčnost ni mogoče predložiti v letu 2004, če bi želeli zagotoviti njegovo delovanje s 1. januarjem 2006. Okvirni program za inovacije in konkurenčnost bi se moral tudi tesno skladati s 7. Okvirnim raziskovalnim programom. Zato bi se oba nova okvirna programa morala pričeti zaporedoma s 1. januarjem 2007.9. Pomembno je zagotoviti stalnost podpore Skupnosti za izboljšanje poslovnega okolja ter za rast in konkurenčnost podjetij, še posebej MSP. Zatorej se je pomembno izogniti motnjam instrumentov, ki delujejo pod MAP. Na podlagi teh okoliščin Komisija predlaga, da bi se tekoči program, kot je bil spremenjen v letu 2004, moral podaljšati do 31. decembra 2006. To bo omogočilo Komisiji, da bo čim prej predložila predlog za okvirni program Skupnosti za inovacije in konkurenčnost.10. Evropska Komisija zato predlaga:-  podaljšanje MAP do 31. decembra 2006;-  povišanje finančnega referenčnega zneska za 81,5 milijonov evrov.-  2004/0272 (COD)PredlogSKLEP EVROPSKEGA PARLAMENTA IN SVETAo spremembah Odločbe Sveta 2000/819/ES o večletnem programu za podjetja in podjetništvo ter zlasti za mala in srednja podjetja (MSP) (2001-2005) (Besedilo velja za EGP)EVROPSKI PARLAMENT IN SVET EVROPSKE UNIJE STA –ob upoštevanju Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti in zlasti člena 157(3),ob upoštevanju predloga Komisije[3],ob upoštevanju mnenja Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora[4],ob upoštevanju mnenja Odbora regij[5],v skladu s postopkom, določenim v členu 251 Pogodbe[6],ob upoštevanju naslednjega:(1) Nujno je zagotoviti stalnost podpore Skupnosti podjetjem in podjetništvu, zlasti majhnim in srednjim podjetjem (MSP).(2) Obdobje veljavnosti Odločbe Sveta 2000/819/ES[7] je zato primerno podaljšati za eno leto do 31. decembra 2006 in finančnI referenčni znesek povišati za 81,5 milijonov evrov.(3) Odločbo 2000/819/ES je zato potrebno ustrezno spremeniti –SKLENILA:Člen 1Odločba 2000/819/ES se spremeni, kot sledi:(1) V členu 7(1) se finančni referenčni znesek 450 milijonov evrov nadomesti s 531,5 milijonov evrov.(2) V členu 8 se datum 31. december 2005 nadomesti z datumom 31. december 2006.Člen 2Ta sklep začne veljati na dan objave v Uradnem listu Evropske unije.V Bruslju, […]Za Evropski parlament Za SvetPredsednik PredsednikLEGISLATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENTPolicy area: Enterprise Activity: Encouraging entrepreneurship |TITLE OF ACTION: MULTIANNUAL PROGRAMME FOR ENTERPRISE AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND IN PARTICULAR FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (SMES) (2001-2005) |1.

FOLLOW-UP AND EVALUATION8.1 Follow-up arrangementsFollowing the adoption of this Decision, the management of the programme actions will continue to be based on an annual programming cycle. The Commission will establish, in consultation with the Enterprise Programme Management Committee (EPMC), the 2006 annual work programmes including specific, appropriate and coherent performance indicators for the deliverables (quality and quantity), implementation and effectiveness. Each action will be explicitly linked to one or more stated objectives of the programme.The performance of the programme will be scrutinised by the Management Committee which will meet 3 or 4 times in the year. As has been the case thus far, the EPMC will receive an annual Implementation Report, covering implementation and budget execution. The Implementation Report will also be made available to the European Parliament and general public.8.2 Arrangements and schedule for evaluationAn independent external final evaluation of the actions carried out under the MAP has been carried out in accordance with Council Decision 2000/819/EC (Article 5) and will be transmitted to the European Parliament and the Council. The recommendations of the evaluation will be taken into account in the proposed period of extension.9. ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES(Article 3(4) of the Financial Regulation: "In order to prevent risk of fraud or irregularity, the Commission shall record in the financial statement any information regarding existing and planned fraud prevention and protection measures.")There are no (internal or external) audit reports giving raise to indications for fraud underthe activities undertaken in pursuance of Council Decision 2000/819/EC.Verification before payment of subsidies or the delivery of services and studies ordered and carried out by Commission services will take place, taking into account the contractual obligations and the principles of economy and sound financial and global management. All contracts, conventions and legal undertakings concluded between the Commission and the beneficiaries under the programme foresee the possibility of an audit at the premises of the beneficiary by the Commission’s services or by the Court of Auditors, as well as the possibility of requiring the beneficiaries to provide all relevant documents and data concerning expenses relating to such contracts, conventions or legal undertakings up to 5 years after the contractual period. Beneficiaries are subject to the requirement to provide reports and financial accounts, which are analysed as to the eligibility of the costs and the content, in line with the rules on Community financing and taking account of contractual obligations, economic principles and good financial management.[1] UL L 268, 16.8.2004, str. 3-5.[2] KOM(2004) 487 končno.[3] UL C […], […], str.
