Blandingsmekanismerne anvendes navnlig i partnerskab med europžiske finansielle institutioner, og der kan sledes drages fordel af disse institutioners specifikke ekspertise og viden. 
Blending mecha‐ nisms are set up in partnership with European financial institu‐ tions in particular, and thus benefit from their specific expertise and knowledge.
Żget samarbejde kan ogs fżre til stżrre gennemsigtighed, stordriftsfordele og lavere transaktionsomkostninger for partnerlandet. 
Increased cooperation may also result in greater trans‐ parency, economies of scale and reduced transaction costs for the partner country.
Desuden gżr blanding det muligt at gennemfżre projekter, som er for store til at blive finansieret af en enkelt donor eller finansieringsinstitution. b) Det styrker bevidstheden hos stżttemodtagere og offentligheden, at investeringerne finansieres med stżtte fra donorer. 
It also enables the implementation of projects that are too large to be financed by a single donor or financial institution. (b) It enhances the awareness by ben‐ eficiaries and the general public that investments were financed with the support of donors.
Ved at kombinere forskellige donorers og finansielle institutioners interventioner kan man opn den kritiske masse, der er nżdvendig for at gżre bistanden synlig. 
Com‐ bining interventions by various donors and financial institutions is a means of achieving the critical mass required to create the visibil‐ ity of aid.
EUŐs blandingsmekanismer 05 Kommissionen har ydet rentegodtgżrelser i lang tid. 
EU blending mechanisms 05 The Commission has been granting interest rate subsidies for a long time.
P det seneste har Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne imidlertid etableret sžrlige mekanismer, der fremskynder brugen af blanding. 
More recently, however, the Commis‐ sion and Member States have set up dedicated mechanisms that acceler‐ ate the use of blending.
Siden 2007 har Kommissionen oprettet otte regionale investeringsfaciliteter, der džkker hele spektret af Kommissionens eksterne samarbejde (jf. bilag I). 
Since 2007, the Commission has created eight regional investment facilities that cover the Commission’s entire sphere of external cooperation (see Annex I).
De kombinerer tilskud, der finansieres over de europžiske udviklingsfonde (EUF) og EUŐs almindelige budget, med ln, hovedsageligt fra europžiske udviklingsfinansieringsin-stitutioner. 
They combine grants funded by the European Development Funds (EDFs) and the EU general budget with loans, mainly from European development‐ finance institutions.
I visse tilfžlde yder EU-medlemsstaterne ogs direkte bidrag. 
In some cases, direct contributions are also made by EU Member States.
06 De regionale investeringsfaciliteter har en treleddet forvaltningsstruktur3: a) et strategisk organ4, der har til opgave at fastlžgge den overordnede strategi for finansieringsfaciliteten b) et udżvende organ5, der bestr af Kommissionen, medlemsstaterne og andre donorer, og som er ansvarligt for godkendelse af individuelle tilskud c) et teknisk organ6, der bestr af finansielle institutioner og Kommissionen, og som fastlžgger en fžlles projektpipeline og udvžlger de projekter, der skal forelžgges for det udżvende organ. 
06 The regional investment facilities have a three‐tiered structure of governance3: (a) A strategic body4 that has the task of setting the overall strategy of the financing facility; (b) An executive body5, consisting of the Commission, Member States and other donors, which is re‐ sponsible for approving individual grants; (c) A technical body6, consisting of financial institutions and the Com‐ mission, which establishes a com‐ mon project pipeline and selects the projects to be presented to the executive body.
3 Investeringsrammen for Vestbalkan (WBIF) er en undtagelse, idet den ledes af en styringskomit og en projektfinansieringsgruppe. 
3 The Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) constitutes an exception in that it is governed by a steering committee and a project financiers’ group.
Indledning 10 07 Efter konsultationer med det berżrte partnerland eller de berżrte partnerlande fremsžtter de finansielle institutioner forslag til projekter7. 
Introduction 10 07 Following consultations with the respective partner country or coun‐ tries, the financial institutions propose projects7.
Udviklingen af projektpipelinen ledes af de finansielle institutioner. 
Development of the project pipeline is led by the financial institu‐ tions.
De identificerer og udvžlger projekter p grundlag af deres egne finansielle vurderingskriterier og sżger om tilskud med angivelse af type og belżb. 
They identify and select projects on the basis of their own financial as‐ sessment criteria and apply for a grant, specifying the type and amount.
Projektudviklings-processen indebžrer, at der samarbejdes med Kommissionen, navnlig inden for de tekniske organer og p EU-delegationsniveau. 
The process of project development involves collaboration with the Com‐ mission, notably within the technical bodies and at EU delegation level.
Den finansieringsinstitution, der leder projektet, overvger gennemfżrelsen af projektet og rapporterer om fremskridt. 
The lead financial institution of a project monitors the implementation of the project and reports on its progress.
Den ledende finansieringsinstitution har ret til et honorar for at forvalte gennemfżrelsen af projekter. 
The lead financial institution is entitled to a fee for managing the implementa‐ tion of projects.
08 EUŐs trustfond for infrastrukturer i Afrika (ITF) er den eneste regionale investeringsfacilitet, der fungerer som en fond. 
08 The EU–Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund (ITF) is the only regional invest‐ ment facility that operates as a fund.
Den Europžiske Investeringsbank (EIB) fungerer som kasserer for denne fond. 
The European Investment Bank (EIB) acts as treasurer for this fund.
For s vidt angr de żvrige regionale investeringsfaciliteter kanaliserer Kommissionen i de fleste tilfžlde tilskuddene til de endelige modtagere via den ledende finansieringsinstitution. 
In the case of the other regional investment facilities, the Commission in most cases channels the grants to the final beneficiaries via the lead financial institution.
Stżttemodtagerne tildeler og forvalter selv de underliggende kontrakter, mens de finansielle institutioner gennemfżrer den tekniske bistand og overvger gennemfżrelsen af de blandede projekter. 
The beneficiaries them‐ selves award and manage the underly‐ ing contracts. However, the financial institutions implement the technical assistance and monitor the implemen‐ tation of the blended projects.
Alle regionale investeringsfaciliteter har et sekretariat, som stżtter de udżvende organer. 
Each of the regional investment facilities has a secretariat to support the executive bodies.
Sekretariaterne har til huse i Kommissionen8, dog ikke ITFŐs, som ledes af EIB. 
The secretariats are hosted by the Commission8, except in the case of the ITF, whose secretariat is run by the EIB.
09 Der er ogs andre EU-blandingsmeka-nismer. 
09 There are also other EU blending mechanisms.
Den vigtigste er den investeringsfacilitet, som blev oprettet i 2003 ved Cotonouaftalen for en periode p 20 r. 
The main example is the Investment Facility created in 2003 by the Cotonou Agreement for a period of 20 years.
Andre eksempler p blandingsmekanismer uden for de regionale investeringsfaciliteter er Euro-Middel-havs-faciliteten for investeringer og partnerskab (FEMIP) og Den Globale Fond for Energieffektivitet og Vedvarende Energi (GEEREF). 
Other examples of blend‐ ing outside the scope of the regional investment facilities are the Facility for Euro–Mediterranean Investment Part‐ nership (FEMIP) and the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (GEEREF).
10 I perioden 2007-2013 har EU bevilget 2 106 millioner euro til regionale investeringsfaciliteter (jf. bilag II). 
10 The amount allocated by the EU to the regional investment facilities for the 2007–13 period was 2 106 million euro (see Annex II).
Ved udgangen af 2013 havde Kommissionen allerede udbetalt 1 205 millioner euro. 
By the end of 2013, the Commission had already disbursed 1 205 million euro.
De regionale investeringsfaciliteters udżvende organer havde godkendt 387 projekter (jf. bilag III), hvortil der var ydet tilskud p i alt 2 346 millioner euro (jf. bilag IV). 
The executive bod‐ ies of the regional investment facilities had approved 387 projects (see Annex III), the grants for which totalled 2 346 million euro (see Annex IV).
Disse tilskud blev ledsaget af ln p i alt 22 152 millioner euro. 
These were accompanied by loans totalling 22 152 million euro.
Hidtil har misligholdelses-graden for lnene vžret nul. 
So far, the loans have a zero default rate.
11 De stżttede projekter er hovedsagelig offentlige investeringsprojekter. 
11 The projects supported are mainly public investment projects.
De džkkede sektorer varierer fra den ene facilitet til den anden, men transport- og energisektoren modtager flest midler9. 
The sec‐ tors covered vary from one facility to another, but the transport and energy sectors receive most funding9.
Projekterne spžnder fra temmelig beskedne, fra 0,3 millioner euro, og til mere end 1 000 millioner euro. 
The pro‐ jects range from fairly small, starting at 0,3 million euro, to ones accounting for more than 1 000 million euro.
I de fleste tilfžlde er mere end n finansiel institution involveret. 
In the majority of cases, more than one fi‐ nancial institution is involved.
I nogle tilfžlde tildeler de regionale investeringsfaciliteter ikke midler til et enkelt investeringsprojekt, men til en anden facilitet eller en fond. 
In some cases, the regional investment facili‐ ties do not allocate funding to a single investment project, but to a different facility or fund.
I tilfžlde af sdanne subfaciliteter udvžlger og finansierer de finansielle institutioner delforanstaltninger, der inddrager lokale finansieringspartnere. 
In the case of such sub‐facilities, the financial institutions select and finance sub‐actions, which involve local financier partners.
7 Det er primžrt partnerlande, der indgiver ansżgninger om WBIF-tilskud. 
7 Applications for WBIF grants are mainly made by partner countries.

Indledning 11 12 De fire vigtigste finansielle institutio-ner10, der fra begyndelsen har vžret involveret i regionale investeringsfaciliteter, er EIB, Den Europžiske Bank for Genopbygning og Udvikling (EBRD), Agence Franaise de Dveloppement (AFD) og Kreditanstalt fr Wiederaufbau (KfW). 
Introduction 11 12 The four main financial institutions10 involved in the regional investment fa‐ cilities from the outset are the EIB, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Agence Fran‐ çaise de Développement (AFD) and the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).
Bilag V er en oversigt over de lnebelżb, som disse institutioner godkendte i perioden 2007-2013 til de 387 projekter, der modtog stżtte under disse faciliteter. 
Annex V provides an overview of the loan amounts they approved over the 2007–13 period for the 387 projects that received support under these facilities.
13 I december 2012 lancerede Kommissionen EU-platformen for blanding i eksternt samarbejde for at undersżge, hvordan man kunne forbedre kvaliteten og effektiviteten af regionale investeringsfaciliteter. 
13 In December 2012, the Commission launched the EU Platform for Blending in External Cooperation in order to ex‐ amine how to improve the quality and efficiency of regional investment facili‐ ties.
Processen er stadig i gang, og den forventes at udmżnte sig i en ržkke henstillinger og retningslinjer for anvendelse af blanding i forbindelse med eksternt samarbejde og for, hvordan man kan mobilisere yderligere offentlige og private midler med henblik p at żge virkningen af EUŐs eksterne samarbejds- og udviklingspolitik. 
The process is ongoing and the expected output is a set of recommen‐ dations and guidelines on the use of blending in external cooperation and on how to mobilise additional public and private resources to increase the impact of EU external cooperation and development policy.
10 De żvrige stżtteberettigede finansielle institutioner er: Agencia Espaola de Cooperacin Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID), African Development Bank (AfDB), Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries (BIO), Den Caribiske Udviklingsbank (CDB), Europardets Udviklingsbank (CEB), Compana Espaola de Financiacin al Desarrollo (COFIDES), Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation Ltd.

Revisionens omfang 12 og revisionsmetoden 14 Retten vurderede, om det var effektivt at blande tilskud, der ydes under regionale investeringsfaciliteter, og ln fra finansielle institutioner til at stżtte EUŐs eksterne politikker, og den fokuserede i den forbindelse p fżlgende to spżrgsml: a) Er de regionale investeringsfaciliteter udformet og forvaltet hensigtsmžssigt? b) Har anvendelsen af blanding givet de żnskede fordele? 
Audit scope 12 and approach 14 The Court assessed the effectiveness of blending the regional investment facility grants with loans from financial institutions to support EU external policies by focusing on the following two questions: (a) Have the regional investment facilities been set up and managed well? (b) Did the use of blending yield the intended benefits?
15 Denne revision, som var den fżrste, Retten gennemfżrte p dette sžrlige omrde, blev udfżrt mellem maj og december 2013, og revisorerne gennemgik de regionale investeringsfaciliteters resultater siden deres etablering. 
15 This audit, which was the first by the Court in this particular area, was car‐ ried out between May and December 2013 and looked at how the regional investment facilities had performed since their creation.
Revisionsrettens revision havde fokus p EUŐs finansielle tildelinger og Kommissionens rolle. 
The Court focused its audit on the EU financial allocations and the role of the Commission.
Revisionsarbejdet omfattede en analytisk gennemgang, interview med ansatte i Kommissionen, en spżrgeundersżgelse blandt 40 EU-delegationer11, besżg i de fire stżrste finansielle institutioner og en detaljeret gennemgang af en stikprżve af projekter. 
The audit work consisted of an analytical review, interviews with Commission staff, a survey of 40 EU delegations11, visits to the four main financial insti‐ tutions and a detailed examination of a sample of projects.
Stikprżven12 omfattede 15 projekter, som modtog stżtte fra ITF (jf. bilag VI), og 15 projekter, der havde modtaget stżtte under naboskabsinvesteringsfaciliteten (NIF) (jf. bilag VII). 
The sample12 consisted of 15 projects that received grants from the ITF (see Annex VI) and 15 projects that had received grants under the Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF) (see Annex VII).
Disse to regionale investeringsfaciliteter džkker bde EUF og EUŐs almindelige budget og udgżr mere end 70 % af de tilskud, der var godkendt under de regionale investeringsfaciliteter ved udgangen af 2013. 
These two regional investment facilities cover both the EDF and the EU gen‐ eral budget, and represent more than 70 % of the grants approved by the regional investment facilities by the end of 2013.
De er ogs de žldste investeringsfaciliteter og har dermed de projekter, der er lžngst fremme. 
They are also the oldest investment facilities and thus have the most advanced projects.
Som fżlge af deres sžrlige karakteristika gennemgik revisorerne ogs otte projekter vedrżrende etablering af subfaciliteter (jf. punkt 11) med henblik p finansiering af aktioner med deltagelse af lokale finansielle institutioner (jf. bilag VIII). 
Because of their particular characteristics, the audit also included an examination of eight projects relating to the creation of sub‐facilities (see paragraph 11) for financing actions with the involve‐ ment of local financial institutions (see Annex VIII).
11 22 EU-delegationer svarede p spżrgeundersżgelsen. 
11 22 EU delegations responded to the survey.
12 Retten udvalgte projekterne tilfžldigt ved hjžlp af penge-enhedsstikprżvemetoden. 
12 The Court selected the projects randomly by monetary unit sampling.
Bemžrkninger 13 De regionale investeringsfaciliteter er udformet p en hensigtsmžssig mde, men Kommissionens forvaltning er stadig behžftet med mangler 16 Retten undersżgte, om den overordnede udformning af de regionale investeringsfaciliteter og de proceduremžssige rammer var hensigtsmžssige. 
Observations 13 The regional investment facilities have been set up in an appropriate manner, but the Commission’s management is still affected by shortcomings 16 The Court examined whether the over‐ all set‐up of the regional investment facilities and the procedural frame‐ work were appropriate.
Revisionen fokuserede ogs p proceduren for vurdering af tilskudsansżg-ninger, begrundelsen for de udvalgte projekter og hensigtsmžssigheden af tilskuddenes type og omfang. 
The audit also focused on the procedure for assessing grant applications, the justification for the projects selected and the appro‐ priateness of the type and amount of the grants.
Endelig gennemgik revisorerne ogs gennemfżrelsen af tilskud og overvgningen af projekter som led i revisionen. 
Finally, the implementation of the grants and monitoring of the projects were also examined as part of the audit.
19 I finansforordningen13 blev der for nylig indfżrt sžrlige regler om blan-dingsmekanismer14. 
19 The Financial Regulation13 recently introduced specific rules on blending mechanisms14.
Disse regler, der gžlder fra 2014 og fremefter, forbedrer i vžsentlig grad de lovgivningsmžssige rammer ved at definere en ržkke begreber og principper, forenkle de forvaltningsmetoder, der anvendes til blanding, og ved at udgżre retsgrundlaget for anvendelsen af innovative finansieringsredskaber. 
These rules, applica‐ ble from 2014 onwards, significantly improve the regulatory framework by defining concepts and principles, sim‐ plifying the management modes used for blending, and providing the legal basis to use innovative financing tools.
Kommissionen er i gang med yderligere at forbedre rammerne, eftersom den er ved at udarbejde retningslinjer for forvaltningen af de regionale investeringsfaciliteter15. 
The Commission is currently further improving the framework by preparing guidelines for the management of the regional investment facilities15.
20 Kommissionen har gjort visse fremskridt p dette omrde, men det er normalt de finansielle institutioner, som tager initiativ til projekterne, hvorefter Kommissionen vurderer disse forslag og de efterfżlgende anmodninger om tilskud frem for aktivt at identificere projekter. 
20 While the Commission has made some progress in this area, projects were generally initiated by financial institu‐ tions with the Commission responding to these proposals and the ensuing grant requests, rather than actively identifying operations.
966/2012 af 25. oktober 2012 om de finansielle regler vedrżrende Unionens almindelige budget og om ophžvelse af Rdets forordning (EF, Euratom) nr. 1605/2002 (EUT L 298 af 26.10.2012, s. 
13 Regulation No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p.
14 Der blev indfżrt et nyt afsnit VIII, finansielle instrumenter. 
14 A new Title VIII, Financial Instruments, was introduced.
15 Der har siden 2012 vžret praktiske retningslinjer, der har hjulpet partnerlandene med at forst de krav, der skal opfyldes i forbindelse med projektansżgninger og projektforelžggelse under WBIF. 
15 Practical guidelines that have helped partner countries to understand the requirements connected with WBIF project applications and submissions have existed since 2012.
Bemžrkninger 14 21 Sekretariatet for ITF varetages af EIB (jf. punkt 8). 
Observations 14 21 The secretariat of the ITF is operated by the EIB (see paragraph 8).
Dette er et spżrgsml, der bżr tages op i betragtning af, at EIB er med til at finansiere projekter, og dette uanset at sekretariatet er adskilt fra EIBŐs bankvirksomhed. 
In view of the fact that the EIB is a project finan‐ cier and irrespective of the fact that the secretariat is ring‐fenced from the EIB’s banking activities, this is an issue that needs to be addressed.
Der udvžlges egnede projekter, men Kommissionens evaluering fokuserer ikke tilstržkkeligt p EU-tilskuddenes mervžrdi og belżb Udvžlgelse af projekter med henblik p ydelse af tilskud 22 Processen for identificering og udvžlgelse af projekter gjorde det muligt at udarbejde tilstržkkeligt mange tilskudsansżgninger til, at der kunne indgs forpligtelser for de tildelte midler inden for den planlagte tidsramme. 
Suitable projects are selected but the Commission’s assessment does not focus adequately on the added value and amount of EU grants Selection of projects for grants assistance 22 The process for identifying and select‐ ing projects enabled sufficient grant applications to be made in order for the funding allocated to be commit‐ ted within the planned timeframe.
De godkendte projekter var relevante for udviklingsbehovene i de berżrte regioner og lande. 
The projects approved were relevant to the development needs of the regions and countries concerned.
23 Finansielle institutioner skal indgive et ansżgningsskema16 for at kunne anmode om et tilskud fra en regional investeringsfacilitet. 
23 To request a grant from a regional investment facility, financial institu‐ tions need to submit a grant applica‐ tion form16.
Selv om de oplysninger, som de finansielle institutioner fremsendte inden godkendelsen af tilskuddet, efterhnden blev mere fyldestgżrende og mere detaljerede, var de for generelle til, at de regionale investeringsfaciliteters udżvende organer kunne tržffe hensigtsmžssige beslutninger. 
Although they became longer and more detailed over time, the information provided by the financial institutions before grant ap‐ proval was too general for appropriate decision‐making by the executive bod‐ ies of the regional investment facilities.
Der forel ikke kvantificerede oplysninger om lnevilkr, subventionsniveau (jf. tekstboks 1) og levedygtighed (jf. eksemplet i tekstboks 2). 
Quantified data were lacking on loan conditions, concessionality (see Box 1) and viability (see Box 2 for an exam‐ ple).
Ydermere var tilskuddenes forventede mervžrdi ikke formuleret hensigtsmžssigt, struktureret eller kvantificeret. 
Furthermore, the expected added value of providing a grant was not well formulated, structured or quantified.
