INDLEDNING Tobaksdyrkning og EU-markedet 1. 
INTRODUCTION Tobacco cultivation and the EU market 1.
Ved rtobak forsts tobak i blade, som tobaksavlerne (pro-ducenterne) har dyrket og tżrret, men som endnu ikke er blevet forarbejdet. 
Raw tobacco is tobacco in leaves which has been grown and subjected to initial drying by growers (the producers) but not yet processed.
P nžste stadium forarbejdes rtobakken af de virksomheder, der foretager den fżrste forarbejdning. Den forarbejdede tobak leveres derefter til fabrikker, der fremstiller tobaksva-rer, f.eks. cigaretter, cigarer og pibetobak. 
The next stage involves more specific preparation of the raw tobacco by companies called first processors who then supply the processed tobacco to the manufacturers of tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco.
Bilag 1 giver et overblik over tobaksdyrknings-, forarbejdnings-, fabrikations-og distributionskžden. 
Annex 1 shows the tobacco-growing, processing, manufacturing and distribution chain.

5 % af verdens rtobak og er dermed den femtestżrste producent i verden, men under halvdelen af EU-produktionen forbruges i EU, fordi denne tobak ikke har den aroma og den smag, som efterspżrges af fabrikan-terne. 
The EU produces around 5 % of the worldŐs production of raw tobacco making it the fifth largest producer, but less than half its own production is used within the EU because it does not have the aroma and taste which is in demand by manufacturers.
For at f tobak med de żnskede karakteristika importerer EU ca. 9 % af verdensproduktionen og er dermed den stżrste importżr i verden. 
In order to obtain tobaccos with the required characteristics, the EU imports about 9 % of world production making it the biggest importer.
I EU er Italien, Gržkenland og Spanien de vigtigste producentlande og tegner sig for henholdsvis ca. 38 %, 36 % og 13 % af den samlede produktion. 
In the EU, Italy, Greece and Spain are the most significant growers and account for around 38, 36 and 13 % of total production respectively.

Der er ca. 80 000 producenter af rtobak i EU. 
Growing of raw tobacco in the EU is characterised by approximately 80 000 producers, mostly dedicating small individual areas to production.
Produktionen af rtobak er kun i begržnset omfang mekaniseret, og produktionsomkostningerne er hżje. 
Mechanisation of production is limited and production costs high.
EU har stżttet dyrkningen af tobak i over 30 r, og de seneste r har budgettet vžret p ca. 1 000 millioner euro. 
The EU has been supporting the growing of raw tobacco for more than 30 years and the budget in recent years has been around 1 000 million euro.
Mlene for den fžlles markedsordning 5. 
Objectives of the CMO 5.
Inden oprettelsen af enhedsmarkedet i EU modtog tobaksavlerne stżtte inden for rammerne af nationale markedsordninger. 
Before the establishment of the single market in the EU, tobacco growers benefited from national market arrangements.
Disse markedsordninger gav dem en garanteret pris, der skulle sikre dem en Črimelig indkomstÇ (2). 
These provided them with a guaranteed price in order to ensure a Ôfair incomeŐ (2).
Denne stżtte blev anset for nżdvendig, fordi indtžgterne ikke altid džkkede produktionsomkostningerne. 
This support was considered necessary because levels of return did not always cover the costs of production.
I de regioner, hvor der blev produceret tobak, gav denne produktion landbrugerne en vžsentlig del af deres indkomst. 
In those regions where tobacco was produced it represented a major part of farmersŐ income.

(2) Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 (OJ L 94, 28.4.1970, p.
Efterfżlgende er den fžlles markedsordning blevet revideret i 1992 (3), i 1998 (4) og igen i 2004 (5), da den nuvžrende markedsordning blev indfżrt. 
Since then the CMO was reformed in 1992 (3), in 1998 (4) and again in 2004 (5).
Ud over de generelle ml om at stabilisere markederne for rtobak og sikre landbrugsbefolkningen en rimelig levestandard, som er fastsat i traktatens artikel 33, har den fžlles markedsordning fżlgende specifikke ml: a) at begržnse tobaksproduktionen i EU og samtidig gżre produktionen af tobak, der er vanskelig at afsžtte i EU, mindre tiltržkkende b) at tilskynde til en forbedring af kvaliteten og en forżgelse af vžrdien af EU-produktionen c) at beskytte folkesundheden og opfylde miljżbeskyttelseskravene d) at lette omstillingen for producenter, der frivilligt beslutter at forlade sektoren e) at udbygge kontrolprocedurerne og forenkle administrationen i medlemsstaterne. 
In addition to achieving the general objectives of stabilising raw tobacco markets and ensuring a fair standard of living for producers, as set out in Article 33 of the Treaty, the CMO set out specifically to: (a) limit production and discourage cultivation of tobacco varieties which cannot readily be sold on the EU market; (b) encourage improvements in the quality and value of EU production; (c) protect public health and meet environmental protection requirements; (d) facilitate voluntary departure from the sector; (e) reinforce control procedures and simplify the management task for Member States.

17.2.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 41/5 Measures adopted under the 1998 scheme 7.
De foranstaltninger, der er vedtaget med henblik p at opfylde disse ml, er beskrevet nedenfor. 
The measures adopted to achieve these objectives are set out below.
Udbetaling af pržmier 8. 
Premium payments 8.
Producenterne skal indg dyrkningskontrakter med de virksomheder, som foretager den fżrste forarbejdning. 
Producers are required to enter into cultivation contracts with first processors.
EU-stżtten udbetales som en pržmie pr. kg tobak, der leveres og godkendes inden for rammerne af disse kontrakter. 
The EU subsidy is paid as a premium per kilo of tobacco supplied and accepted under these arrangements.
Pržmien supplerer det belżb, producenterne modtager for deres tobak p markedet, og skal sikre dem en Črimelig indkomstÇ og opmuntre dem til at producere tobak af god kvalitet. 
The premium supplements the price the producers receive for their tobacco on the market and should provide them with a Ôfair incomeŐ and encourage to produce good quality tobacco.
I 1992 fastsatte Rdet en pržmie-sats for hver enkelt af de otte sortsgrupper, der er godkendt i den fžlles markedsordning. 
A rate of premium was set by the Council in 1992 for each of the eight variety groups recognised by the CMO.
Satserne har ligget p nogenlunde samme niveau siden dengang (6). 
The rates have remained virtually unchanged since then (6).
Pržmien omfatter bde et fast belżb og et variabelt belżb. Det variable belżb udgżr for tiden mellem 30 % og 45 % af den samlede pržmie afhžngigt af sorten (7). 
The premium comprises both a fixed and a variable amount the latter presently accounting for between 30 and 45 % according to the variety (7).
Den faste pržmie udbetales med det fulde belżb til alle producenter. 
The fixed part of the premium is paid in full to all producers.
Det variable pržmiebelżb udbetales af producentsammenslutningerne til deres medlemmer afhžngigt af den kżbspris, som hver enkelt har modtaget for den tobak, der er leveret til de virksomheder, der foretager den fżrste forarbejdning. 
The variable part of the premium is distributed by the producer groups to their members in proportion to the price which each of them has been paid by the first processors for their deliveries.
Auktionsordningen for dyrkningskontrakter 10. 
Cultivation contract auction scheme 10.
I henhold til forordningerne er tobaksproduktionen kun stżtteberettiget, hvis der er indget dyrkningskontrakter for hver enkelt sortsgruppe mellem p den ene side de virksomheder, der foretager den fżrste forarbejdning, og p den anden side producentsammenslutninger eller individuelle producenter, der ikke er medlem af en sammenslutning. 
For tobacco production to be eligible for aid, regulations require cultivation contracts to be concluded, by variety group of tobacco, between first processors and producer groups or individual producers who are not members of a group.
Denne ordning giver individuelle producenter, der ikke er medlem af en producentsammenslutning, eller producentsammenslutninger mulighed for igen at udbyde de dyrkningskontrakter, de allerede har indget, til de virksomheder, der foretager den fżrste forarbejdning. 
The scheme permits individual producers who are not member of a producer group or producer groups to offer their existing cultivation contracts to the wider first processing market.
Buddene skal mindst vžre 10 % hżjere end de priser, der var fastsat i den oprindelige dyrkningskontrakt, og den virksomhed, kontrakten oprindeligt var indget med, skal have mulighed for at acceptere de nye priser. 
Bids have to be at least 10 % higher than the original contract price and the original first processor has to be given the opportunity to match the new price.
Tžrskler, kvoter og nationale reservebeholdninger 11. 
Thresholds, quotas and national reserves 11.
For at kunne styre og regulere produktionen og samtidig bevare kontrollen over budgettet fastsžtter Rdet en samlet garan-timžngde, som der kan udbetales stżtte for. 
In order to orient and limit production while maintaining budgetary control, the Council sets an overall guaranteed quantity for which aid will be paid.
Denne garanti-mžngde fastsžttes pr. hżstr for hver enkelt sortsgruppe og hver enkelt medlemsstat. 
This is set per harvest by tobacco variety group and Member State.
Den ydes til producenterne i form af en kvote, der er fastsat p grundlag af deres produktion i en referenceperiode. 
It is allocated to producers through quotas established on the basis of their production in a reference period.
Det er tilladt medlemsstaterne at overfżre garantimžngder mellem de forskellige sortsgrupper, hvis Kommissionen godkender det og p betingelse af, at det i hvert fald ikke medfżrer hżjere udgifter for budgettet. 
The regime permits Member States to transfer guaranteed quantities between variety groups, with the approval of the Commission, provided the effect is at least neutral for the budget.
(6) Bortset fra gruppe V, for hvilken pržmien blev nedsat med 10 % fra og med hżstret 2002. 
(6) Except for group V for which the premium was decreased by 10 % from the harvest year 2002 onwards.
(7) Siden 1999 er den variable del af pržmien lidt efter lidt blevet żget. 
(7) The variable part has been increased progressively from 1999 onwards.
Der findes ogs en tilbagekżbsordning, sledes at de producenter, der żnsker at ophżre endeligt med at dyrke tobak, kan sžlge deres kvoter tilbage til EU, hvis de ikke kan sžlge dem til andre producenter. 
A quota buy-back scheme also exists whereby individual producers, who wish to cease tobacco cultivation definitively, may sell their quota back to the EU if they cannot be sold to other producers.
Nr EU kżber kvoter tilbage, medfżrer det, at bde den nationale og EUŐs produktionstžrskel reduceres permanent. 
Buy-back by the EU results in a permanent reduction in the national and EU production threshold.
Endelig har medlemsstaterne opbygget en national reserve af kvoter ved at reducere de kvoter, der er tildelt producenterne. 
Finally, there is a system of national quota reserves created by Member States from deductions from the quotas allocated to producers.
Formlet med disse reserver er at gżre det lettere for de eksisterende producenter at omstille deres produktion til andre afgrżder og/eller omstrukturere deres bedrifter og at give producenter, der żnsker at blive tobaksproducenter, mulighed for at komme ind p markedet. 
These reserves are intended to encourage existing producers to switch to other crops and/or restructure their holdings and to allow producers who wish to become tobacco producers to enter the market.
Sžrstżtte til producentsammenslutninger 14. 
Specific aid for producer groups 14.
Producentsammenslutningerne spiller en vigtig rolle i gennemfżrelsen af mlene for markedsordningen. 
Producer groups are required to play an important role in achieving the marketŐs objectives.
Hvis de opfylder kravene i forordningerne og er officielt anerkendt af medlemsstaterne, modtager de 2 % af den samlede pržmie, der udbetales til producenterne. 
Provided they satisfy regulatory requirements and are officially recognised by Member States, they are granted 2 % from the total premium paid to producers.
Mindst halvdelen af de midler, der sledes overfżres til producentsammenslutningerne, er beregnet til at refundere udgifter til ansžttelse af teknisk personale og indkżb af certificeret frż eller plantemateriale med henblik p kvalitetsforbedring og miljżbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger. 
At least half of the funds made available are intended to compensate them for costs on employment of technical staff and purchase of certified seeds or seedlings with the objective to improve product quality and environmental protection measures.
De midler, der er tilovers, kan bruges til infrastrukturforanstaltninger, som skal żge vžrdien af den producerede tobak, f.eks. anlžg til oplagring og hndtering, samt til ansžttelse af administrativt personale. 
Any remainder may be used on infrastructure measures for enhancing the value of the tobacco such as grading, storage and handling facilities and on employment of administrative staff.
Tobaksfonden 15. 
The Tobacco Fund 15.
Fonden blev brugt til at finansiere forskning i tobakssorter og dyrkningsmetoder og til antirygekampagner, som skulle oplyse offentligheden om tobakkens skadelige virkninger. 
The Fund was used to finance research into tobacco varieties, production methods and for combating smoking through information campaigns to increase public awareness of its harmful effects.
I 2003 blev forskningsdelen overfżrt til EUŐs forskningsprogram. 
The research element has now been transferred to the EUŐs research programme from 2003.
Fra og med 2002-hżsten finansierer fonden fortrinsvis foranstaltninger til forbedring af offentlighedens kendskab til de skadelige virkninger af alle former for tobaksforbrug og andre foranstaltninger med henblik p at hjžlpe producenterne med at omstille produktionen fra tobaksdyrkning til andre afgrżder eller aktiviteter. 
From the 2002 harvest onwards, the Fund finances actions primarily to improve public awareness of the harmful effects of all forms of tobacco consumption and other actions to assist producers to convert from tobacco cultivation to other crops or activities.
Fonden finansieres for tiden ved en tilbageholdelse i pržmien p 3 %. 
It is currently financed by withholding 3 % from the premium.
Revisionsml 16. 
Audit objectives 16.
Retten har allerede tre gange (8) fżr fremsat bemžrkninger om den fžlles markedsordning for tobak, senest i rsberetningen for regnskabsret 1996. 
The Court has reported on the CMO on three previous occasions (8), the last being in its Annual Report for 1996.
Denne revision tager sigte p at undersżge den reformerede markedsordning, der blev indfżrt i 1998. 
The purpose of the present audit was to examine the reformed market regime introduced in 1998.

C 41/6 DA Den Europžiske Unions Tidende 17.2.2005 17. a) b) c) De vigtigste ml for revisionen var at bedżmme, om: Kommissionens forslag til de žndringer i den fžlles markedsordning, som efterfżlgende blev vedtaget med 1998-reformen, var velbegrundede Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne gennemfżrte og forvaltede de indfżrte foranstaltninger korrekt Kommissionen ved hjžlp af sine forvaltnings-, kontrol-og evalueringsprocedurer kunne bedżmme, i hvilket omfang mlene for den fžlles markedsordning var blevet opfyldt som planlagt. og opn hżjere priser og dermed mindske deres afhžngighed af stżtte. 
C 41/6 EN Official Journal of the European Union 17.2.2005 17. (a) (b) (c) The main objectives were to assess whether: the CommissionŐs proposals for changes to the CMO, as subsequently adopted in the 1998 reform, were soundly based; the measures introduced were well implemented and managed by the Commission and Member States; the CommissionŐs management, monitoring and evaluation processes enabled it to identify the extent to which the objectives of the reformed CMO were being achieved as foreseen.
De indfżrte foranstaltninger afspejlede denne opfattelse. 
The measures introduced reflected this.
Kommissionen forventede derfor, at den kombinerede effekt af alle elementerne i reformen ville gżre det muligt at forbedre kvaliteten af den tobak, der blev produceret i Fžllesskabet, og at nedbringe eksporten af subventioneret tobak af drlig kvalitet. 
Accordingly, the Commission expected that the combined effect of all the elements of the reform would improve the quality of tobacco produced in the Community and reduce the exports of subsidised poor quality tobacco.
De oplysninger og analyser, der l til grund for 1998-reformforslaget Tobaksproduktionens betydning for beskžftigelsen var baseret p ufuldstžndige oplysninger 21. 
Information and analysis underlying the 1998 reform proposal The significance of tobacco production for employment was based on incomplete information 21.
En af de vigtigste parametre for at kunne mle effekten af den fžlles markedsordnings foranstaltninger er, at man har plidelige oplysninger om beskžftigelsessituationen. 
One of the key parameters necessary to measure the impact of the CMOŐs measures is reliable data on employment.
Kommissionens vurdering af tobaksproduktionens betydning for beskžftigelsen i de tobaksproducerende regioner og forslaget om at lade produk-tionsstżtteordningen fortsžtte burde have vžret baseret p opdaterede oplysninger fra medlemsstaterne. 
The CommissionŐs assessment of the significance of tobacco production in relation to employment in the producing regions and the proposal to continue with the production aid scheme should have been based on up-to-date information from Member States.
Retten konstaterede, at Kommissionens vurdering fra 1996 (som den brugte i forbindelse med reformforslagene), nemlig at 170 000 fuldtidsarbejdende var afhžngige af tobaksproduktionen, var baseret p tal fra 1986 (med hensyn til arbejdstimer pr. hektar) og fra 1993 (med hensyn til beplantede arealer). 
The Court found that the CommissionŐs 1996 estimate (used in the context of its reform proposals) of 170 000 full-time workers being dependent on tobacco production was based on data relating to 1986 (for man hours per hectare) and to 1993 (for areas under cultivation).
Eftersom denne vurdering ikke var plidelig, sammenlignede Retten den med de nyeste tal i Kommissionens evalueringsrapport fra 2003, som vedrżrte 1999. 
Since this estimate was not reliable, the Court compared it with the most recent data available for the year 1999 in the CommissionŐs 2003 evaluation report.
64 000 fuldtidsarbejdende var beskžftiget med at producere 90 % af EUŐs produktion. 
This report suggested that around 64 000 full-time workers were involved in producing 90 % of the EUŐs production.
72 000, og det er mindre end halvt s mange, som Kommissionen havde anslet tre r tidligere. 
This is less than half of the CommissionŐs estimate made three years earlier.
Det er Rettens opfattelse, at disse tal sandsynligvis kommer tžttere p de tal, der reelt var tale om, da Kommissionen fremsatte sine forslag i 1996. 
In the opinion of the Court, this is likely to be closer to the situation actually prevailing in 1996 when the Commission made its proposals.
1 000 millioner euro om ret fordeles p de 72 000 fuldtidsarbejdende i overslaget, udgżr stżtten 13 653 euro pr. person. rsagen til, at der er en difference mellem dette belżb og det belżb p 7 600 euro, som Kommissionen har angivet, er, at Kommissionen anvender et tal for arbejdsenheder, som stammer fra en anden kilde, mens Retten anvender et tal, der bygger p de angivelser, som den eksterne evaluator, som Kommissionen havde indget kontrakt med, har efterprżvet. 
Applying the total budget of about 1 000 million euro per year to the estimated 72 000 full-time workers, aid represents 13 653 euro per person. The difference with the number of 7 600 euro mentioned by the Commission is due to the fact that it uses a number of working units from a different source whereas the Court uses a number based on figures verified by the external evaluator contracted by the Commission.
Endelig vurderede Kommissionen, at tobaksproduktionen var vigtig for hele befolkningens udkomme i nogle omrder. 
Finally, the Commission considered that tobacco production was important for the entire populationŐs livelihood in some producing areas.
