Ifølge beretningen af 2. december 2002 om budgetgennemførelsen i 2002 udgør de samlede uindfriede forpligtelser under strukturfondene 66,49 mia. €.
In the report dated 2 December 2002 on the utilisation of appropriations for 2002, the total in outstanding commitments (hereinafter referred to as RAL) under the Structural Funds is given at EUR 66.49 billion.
Ved første øjekast synes denne opdeling at udvise en svagt faldende tendens.
At first sight, this breakdown appears to indicate a slight downward trend.
Det betyder, at de samlede uindfriede forpligtelser altid vil udgøre et større beløb midt på året end ved årets udgang, fordi disse forpligtelser skal lægges til de udestående forpligtelser fra årets begyndelse.
As a result, the total RAL will be greater in the middle of the year than at the end of the year because those commitments must be added to the outstanding RAL from the beginning of the year.
Da hver årlig tranche i gennemsnit udgør ca. 30 mia. €, er det absolut muligt, at de uindfriede forpligtelser for den nye programmeringsperiode 2000-2006 i maj næste år vil udgøre ca. 70 mia. €.
Since every annual tranche amounts on average to about EUR 30 billion, it is quite possible that the RAL for the new programming period 2000-2006 will amount to some EUR 70 billion by the May of the following year.
I meddelelsen om de uindfriede forpligtelser konstaterer Kommissionen endvidere, at den lave udnyttelsesgrad for betalingsbevillinger under strukturfondene til dels skyldes problemer hos myndighederne i nogle medlemsstater.
In its communication on RAL, the Commission also notes that the low rate of implementation of the payment appropriations committed under the Structural Funds results in part from problems encountered by the authorities in some Member States.
Ved hjælp af disse overslag skulle det ikke blot blive nemmere for Kommissionen at fastlægge de nødvendige betalingsbevillingerne i de efterfølgende år, men også på et tidligt tidspunkt at pege på de programmer, hvor medlemsstaterne kan risikere at miste bevillinger som følge af anvendelsen af "n+2"-reglen.
The aim of those forecasts is not only to make it easier for the Commission to determine payment appropriations for the following year on the basis of requirements but also to identify at an early stage those programmes in respect of which the Member States might well lose funds under the ‘N + 2’ rule.
Før den nugældende strukturfondsforordning blev vedtaget, fandt fremsendelsen af overslagene sted som led i et uformelt samarbejde mellem Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne.
Prior to the adoption of the current Structural Funds Regulation, the Member States forwarded their forecasts to the Commission on the basis of informal cooperation.
Indtil da fremsendte de fleste medlemsstater for høje overslag.
Until that time, most Member States forwarded excessively high forecasts.
I regnskabsåret 2001 er det blevet klart, hvilke medlemsstater der ikke er så omhyggelige med overslagene.
However, it became manifestly clear in the 2001 financial year which Member States had acted negligently in forwarding their forecasts.
3,25 mia. €
EUR 3.25 billion

EUR 2 billion
1,25 mia. €
EUR 1.25 billion
På baggrund af disse alt for høje overslag har Kommissionen nævnt muligheden af at pålægge sanktioner i de tilfælde, hvor forskellen mellem overslag og faktisk udbetaling overstiger 25 %.
Given these excessive overestimates, the Commission put forward for discussion the idea that penalties might be imposed in instances where the disparity between forecast and implementation exceeded 25%.
Da sådanne sanktioner rent faktisk allerede findes i forbindelse med programmet for udvikling af landdistrikter under EUGFL, Garantisektionen, og da overslagene for regnskabsårene 2002 og 2003 stadig ligger over de disponible bevillinger i henholdsvis budgettet og budgetoverslaget, ville det bestemt være værd at overveje denne mulighed for fremtiden.
Since such penalties are actually provided for under the EAGGF (Guarantee Section) rural development plan, and since the forecasts for the financial years 2002 and 2003 are still in excess of the appropriations available in the budget and/or draft budget, this is an idea which would be well worth considering for the future.
Vedtagelsen af den nye strukturfondsforordning (EF) nr. 1260/1999 skulle gøre det muligt både for medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen at forenkle procedurer og regler i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af programmeringen.
The new Structural Funds Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 was adopted in order to enable the Member States and the Commission to simplify procedures and rules relating to the implementation of programmes.
Hidtil har man ikke kunnet tale om succes i denne forbindelse.
To date, we cannot say that that objective has been successfully attained.
Revisionsretten fremfører i sin årsberetning, at det ikke er lykkedes for Kommissionen med vedtagelsen af denne forordning at forenkle regler og bestemmelser i forbindelse med programmeringen.
In its Annual Report concerning 2001, the Court of Auditors takes the view that the adoption of the Regulation has not enabled the Commission to simplify programme planning procedures and rules with any degree of success.
Desuden konstaterer den, at denne manglende succes generelt skyldes den manglende klarhed med hensyn til ansvarsfordelingen mellem Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne.
What is more, it notes that this lack of success results in general from persistent uncertainty as to which responsibilities lie with the Commission and which with the Member States See Point 3.41. – OJ C 295, 28.11.2002, p.
Den komplicerede programmeringsprocedure
Cumbersome nature of the programming procedure
Hvad angår forhandlingerne med medlemsstaterne om programmerne, indrømmer Kommissionen også, at forhandlingsemnernes kompleksitet har betydet en stor arbejdsbyrde for alle parter.
The Commission also admits that, in the negotiations with the Member States about the programmes, the complexity of the matters involved represented a major workload for all the partners involved.
For at afhjælpe denne situation har Kommissionen udsendt en række dokumenter, der skal hjælpe medlemsstaterne med at gennemføre programmeringen, men det er stadig uklart, hvor mange af disse dokumenter der rent faktisk har været til hjælp.
In order to alleviate the situation, the Commission published a series of documents aimed at assisting the Member States in their programming, but the extent to which those documents actually helped is currently not clear.
Blandt de øvrige konkrete punkter, som Revisionsretten påpegede, men som Kommissionen ikke direkte har givet noget svar på, kan nævnes:
Other problems referred to specifically by the Court of Auditors, but to which the Commission did not reply, concern:
Muligheder for forenkling inden for rammerne af den nuværende strukturfondsforordning
Simplification options under the current Structural Funds Regulations
I erkendelse af de problemer, der hidtil havde været med programmeringen for perioden 2000-2006, bebudede Kommissionen i sin meddelelse om udviklingen i de uindfriede forpligtelser, at den i samarbejde med medlemsstaterne ville undersøge mulighederne for at forenkle procedurerne og finde frem til og "fremme en god praksis".
In recognition of the previous difficulties encountered with programming for the period 2000‑2006, the Commission announced in its communication entitled: ‘Evolution of budget execution of the Structural Funds, in particular outstanding commitments (RAL)’ that it would review simplification options in cooperation with the Member States in order to ‘identify and promote best practice’ See Com (2002) 528 of 20 September 2002, p.
Den lægger dog ikke skjul på, at den er af den opfattelse, at det er svært at forklare procedureproblemerne med udgangspunkt i fællesskabsreglerne, og at de snarere skyldes medlemsstaternes afgørelser med hensyn til gennemførelsen af programmerne.
However, it makes no bones about its view that procedural problems cannot be ascribed to Community rules, since they often result from choices made by the Member States themselves in implementing programmes.
På denne baggrund foreslog Kommissionen i sit notat til forberedelse af det uformelle ministermøde den 7.10.2002 nogle foranstaltninger, som kunne træffes i samarbejde med medlemsstaterne for at forenkle forvaltningen af strukturfondene.
Accordingly, in its preparatory note for the informal meeting of Ministers of 7 October 2002, the Commission proposed a few measures which might be taken in conjunction with the Member States in order to simplify administration of the Structural Funds.
Ændring af programmerne - Målet med denne forenkling er at gøre det klart, at de fleste programændringer kan opnås ved at ændre programtillægget Artikel 35, stk. 3 og artikel 34, stk. 4, i forordning (EF) nr. 1260/1999. i stedet for at ændre fællesskabsstøtterammerne for de operationelle programmer eller enhedsprogrammeringsdokumenterne Artikel 14, stk. 2, i forordning (EF) nr. 1260/1999. , hvilket ville være langt mere krævende end den første mulighed.
Programme changes – The aim of this simplification is to specify that most programme changes may be made through an adjustment to the programme complement See Article 35(3) and Article 34(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. instead of through a change to the Community support framework in the operational programmes or of the Single Programming Document See Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. , since that would clearly involve more expenditure than the first option.
Koordinering af kontrollerne - I betragtning af de komplicerede bestemmelser i forordning (EF) nr. 438/2001, der fastlægger kontrolkravene til medlemsstaterne som led i forvaltningen af strukturforanstaltningerne, agter Kommissionen sammen med medlemsstaternes eksperter at arbejde hen imod standardkontroller og et fælles kontrolkoncept.
Coordination of controls – Given the complicated provisions set out in Regulation (EC) No 438/2001, which lays down the control requirements for the Member States in connection with the administration of structural measures, the Commission intends, in cooperation with experts from the Member States, to devise standard controls and a uniform control concept.
Mere effektiv gennemførelse af midtvejsrevisionen - For at undgå forsinkelserne i forbindelse med midtvejsrevisionen vil Kommissionen formulere enklere retningslinjer til de ansvarlige myndigheder, for at de ikke skal være nødt til at gennemføre nye forhandlinger i forbindelse med eventuelle tilpasninger af interventionen.
More efficient implementation of the mid-term review – In order to prevent delays in the mid‑term review, the Commission will draw up simpler guidelines for the competent authorities so that they do not need to conduct fresh negotiations if adjustments are made to the assistance given.
Udarbejdelse af en samlet beretning - For at undgå det dobbeltarbejde, der opstår, når der udarbejdes flere obligatoriske beretninger, tilstræber Kommissionen at sammenfatte disse beretninger i en enkelt (års)beretning.
Drawing up of an overall report – With a view to avoiding the duplication of effort caused by the drawing up of several mandatory reports, the Commission is aiming at having these reports combined in one (annual) report.
I forbindelse med, at dette gennemføres og årsberetningernes indhold reduceres til det væsentlige, vil Kommissionen gøre evalueringsproceduren for årsberetningerne mere gennemskuelig, således at støtteansøgningerne kan behandles hurtigere.
In connection with that measure and with a reduction in the substance of the annual report to what is absolutely essential, the Commission will undertake a clarification of the assessment procedure for the annual reports so that claims for reimbursement may be processed more rapidly.
Forenkling af systemerne til fastlæggelse af resultat- og effektivitetsindikatorerne - Medlemsstaterne opfordres til i samarbejde med Kommissionen i overensstemmelse med proportionalitetsprincippet at fremlægge forslag til, hvordan deres dataindsamling og den efterfølgende fastlæggelse af indikatorerne kan gøres mere hensigtsmæssig og mindre ressourcekrævende.
Simplification of the systems for drawing up result and impact indicators – In cooperation with the Commission, the Member States will be asked to submit proposals, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, as to how their systems for data collection and the subsequent drawing up of the indicators may be made more useful and leaner.
Forbedring af effektiviteten af det årlige møde med forvaltningsmyndighederne - I denne forbindelse er det Kommissionens mål at befri det obligatoriske årlige møde for arbejde, som udføres (eller kan udføres) af andre involverede udvalg, for både at gøre mødet mere effektivt og fremhæve dets politiske karakter.
Increase in the efficiency of the annual meeting with the administrative authorities – The Commission’s objective here is to release the mandatory annual meeting from work which is (or may be) carried out by the other monitoring committees in order both to increase its efficiency and to highlight its political nature.
En sammenlægning af årlige møder foreslås også for at spare tid og reducere udgifterne mest muligt.
A summary of annual meetings is also proposed with a view to saving time and minimising cost.
Forbedring af de involverede udvalgs effektivitet - I denne forbindelse foreslår Kommissionen både foranstaltninger til bedre forberedelse af møderne og begrænsning af det samlede antal møder.
Increase in the efficiency of the monitoring committees – Here, the Commission is proposing both measures leading to better preparations for meetings and a reduction in the total number of meetings.
Forenkling af metoderne for tildeling af resultatreserverne
Simplification of methods for allocating performance-related reserves
Ganske vist er det glædeligt, at Kommissionen af sig selv har taget initiativ til en forenkling, men når foranstaltningerne skal gennemføres, drejer det sig i de fleste tilfælde om ændringer, der fortrinsvis skal gennemføres af medlemsstaterne som led i deres interne procedurer.
While the Commission’s taking the initiative to achieve simplification is to be welcomed, the transposition of these measures principally involves changes which the Member States ought to be making to their internal procedures.
Derfor er der god grund til at stille sig skeptisk til, om der vil ske en betydelig reduktion af de uindfriede forpligtelser i løbet af 2003.
We may, therefore, justifiably take a sceptical attitude to the achievement in 2003 of a significant reduction in RAL.
Her bør man ved opstillingen af 2004-budgettet og de efterfølgende budgetter følge Revisionsrettens forslag og under de pågældende budgetposter kun opføre de beløb, som også rent faktisk kan anvendes.
If that is the case, the option put forward by the Court of Auditors should be selected for the drawing up of the 2003 and subsequent budgets and only the appropriations that may actually be disbursed entered against the relevant budget lines.
I betragtning af problemerne med de alt for høje overslag bør Kommissionen undersøge, om der for at gøre overslagene mere pålidelige kan iværksættes sanktioner over for medlemsstater, hvor der er en klar forskel mellem overslaget og den faktiske gennemførelse.
Given the problems involved with overestimates, the Commission should test whether, with a view to increasing the reliability of national forecasts, penalties should be imposed on those Member States whose forecasts are significantly higher than the actual implementation.
Det bør også undersøges, om den forestående udvidelse kan udnyttes til at foretage en gennemgribende omarbejdning af det nuværende retsgrundlag (strukturfondsforordningen) med henblik på den næste programmeringsperiode.
Checks must also be carried out to see whether the imminent enlargement may be used for a radical revision of the current legal basis (Structural Funds Regulation) for the next programming period.
Kan Kommissionen - i betragtning af, at medlemsstaternes overslag ikke er pålidelige - lave en opstilling, der viser, på hvilket beregningsgrundlag betalingsbevillingerne for regnskabsårene 2001, 2002 og 2003 blev foreslået og senere fastlagt?
Given the unreliability of the Member States’ payment forecasts, can the Commission draw up a summary showing the basis on which it initially proposed and then determined payment appropriations in the 2001, 2002 and 2003 financial years?
Kan Kommissionen allerede nu lave en tabelopstilling, der viser de forventede virkninger af de bebudede forenklingsforanstaltninger, der må antages først at slå igennem i regnskabsårene 2003 og 2004?
Assuming that the impact of the simplification measures announced is not felt until the financial years 2003 and 2004, can the Commission draw up a table forecasting what that impact may be?
Hvis ikke den er i stand til det nu, hvornår da?
If not, when would it be in a position to do so?
Er Kommissionen allerede nu i stand til at redegøre for sine første ideer med hensyn til den ordning, der skal være gældende i den næste programmeringsperiode, herunder i hvilken retning den går, og hvilke mål der tilstræbes, i betragtning af, at den har bebudet, at de vil blive præsenteret på en konference i 2003?
Since the Commission has already announced that it will present its initial ideas for the regulation of the next programming period at a conference in 2003, is it already in a position to clarify the thrust and objectives of those ideas?
Finanskontrol og regnskabsafslutning for strukturfondene ( ansvarlig: Gabriele Stauner)
Financial control and closing of accounts ( Member responsible: Gabriele Stauner )
I beslutningen af 29. november 2001 om beskyttelse af Fællesskabets finansielle interesser fremførte Parlamentet under henvisning til en særberetning fra Revisionsretten følgende:
In its resolution of 29 November 2001 on the protection of the financial interests of the Community, the European Parliament made the following observations on the basis of a Special Report of the Court of Auditors:
I svarene på Budgetkontroludvalgets spørgeskema, som blev fremsendt den 18. december 2002 ("Answers to the COCOBU's questionnaire on the 2001 DISCHARGE", pkt. 5.32) hævder Kommissionen, at den i mellemtiden har gjort store fremskridt og nu planlægger yderligere omfattende forbedringer i 2003.
In the replies which the Commission forwarded on 18 December 2002 to the Committee on Budgetary Control’s questionnaire on the 2001 discharge, it claimed that it had already made substantial progress and was planning to introduce further comprehensive improvements in 2003 (see point 5.32.).
Det er stadig kun isbjergets top, der er synligt
As before, just the tip of the iceberg is visible
Det er op til den enkelte, om man vil tro på, at alt er ved at blive bedre.
You may or you may not believe that everything is getting better.
Det står i hvert fald fast, at oplysningerne vedrørende 2001 ikke tyder på nogen bedring af situationen.
At all events, the truth is that the information available for 2001 does not lead to the conclusion that the situation is improving.
Desuden var de præget af, at et meget stort antal uregelmæssigheder ikke var blevet opdaget eller indberettet.
The situation was also marked by an unofficial statistic concerning a very high number of irregularities that had gone undiscovered or had not been reported.
Hvis der rent faktisk var sket en gennemgribende forbedring, måtte det nødvendigvis have ført til en stigning i antallet af meddelelser om svig og/eller andre uregelmæssigheder fra medlemsstaternes side.
If a radical improvement had indeed occurred, that would have resulted in an increase in the number of cases of fraud and/or irregularities reported by the Member States.
Ganske vist var der tale om en klar stigning i værdien af de indberettede uregelmæssigheder, men antallet af tilfælde, som blev indberettet af medlemsstaterne, faldt sågar i forhold til det foregående år.
Although there was a significant increase in the financial amount involved in the reported irregularities, the number of cases reported by the Member States was slightly lower than in the previous year.

Opsplittes tallene efter medlemsstat, kan der konstateres betydelige forskelle, der tyder på, at der er stor forskel på, hvor alvorligt de enkelte medlemsstater tager arbejdet med at afsløre og indberette uregelmæssigheder.
If we break these figures down among the various Member States, substantial disparities appear which might lead us to believe that there are major differences in the seriousness with which the various Member States attempt to identify and report irregularities.
F.eks. har Nederlandene indberettet over fire gange så mange tilfælde som Spanien eller Grækenland og næsten dobbelt så mange som Tyskland.
For example, the Netherlands reported more than four times as many cases as Spain and Greece and almost twice as many as Germany.

(Source: Commission report: Protection of the Community’s financial interests and fight against fraud – annual report for 2001 ( COM(2002) 348 ))
På baggrund af disse tal må Kommissionen sørge for ensartet anvendelse af fællesskabsbestemmelserne og dermed for ensartet beskyttelse af Fællesskabets finansielle interesser.
Against the background of these figures, the Commission is called upon to ensure the even‑handed application of Community law and, hence, equal protection for the Community’s financial interests in all the Member States.
Dermed står og falder bekæmpelses- og forebyggelsesforanstaltningernes succes.
The success or failure of the fight against and prevention of fraud stands or falls by its so doing.
Der er imidlertid god grund til at betvivle, at Kommissionen rent faktisk vil have mod til i tide med al tydelighed at pege på mangler og misforhold i de enkelte medlemsstater.
However, we may justifiably doubt whether the Commission will actually have the courage duly to name and shame Member States for their shortcomings and maladministration.
Ganske vist indeholder Kommissionens årsberetning for 2001 om bekæmpelse af svig et omfattende kapitel om medlemsstaternes foranstaltninger til beskyttelse af Fællesskabets finansielle interesser, men Kommissionen gengiver blot medlemsstaternes egne oplysninger og undlader endnu engang at sammenligne og vurdere oplysningerne.
For example, while the Commission’s annual report for 2001 on the fight against fraud includes a lengthy chapter devoted to the measures taken by the Member States to protect the Community’s financial interests, the Commission merely repeats the data forwarded by the Member States and refrains, once again, from comparing and assessing them.
Tilbagesøgningen særdeles utilfredsstillende
Situation of recovery highly unsatisfactory
