I besvarelserne (jf. diagram 3) er de hyppigst angivne rsager til denne tilfredshed fżlgende: a) Fondens stżtte var et tegn p, at EU p grund af katastrofer-nes omfang var solidarisk med befolkningen i de ramte regioner. b) Stżtten var med til at džkke de enorme omkostninger i forbindelse med katastroferne (sekundžre nżdhjžlpsaktioner blev udvidet, processen blev hurtigere osv.). c) Stżtten lettede byrden p de offentlige budgetter, om end det i forhold til katastrofens stżrrelse somme tider kun var i begržnset omfang. d) Stżtten havde en positiv effekt p offentlighedens holdning til EU-tiltrždelse i kandidatlandene. 
Based on the survey replies (see Graph 3), the main reasons given for this satisfaction are: (a) the FundŐs contribution was a signal of the EU solidarity with the population of the regions affected, in view of the scale of the disasters; (b) the grant helped to alleviate the enormous expenses linked to the disasters (extending secondary emergency operations, speeding up the process and so on); (c) the aid represented a reduction of the burden on public budgets, albeit sometimes limited compared to the degree of the disaster; (d) the contribution had a positive impact on public opinion with regard to the accession to the EU for candidate countries.

Dette sidste punkt i kritikken kunne tyde p, at ansżgerne i nogle tilfžlde ikke er overbevist om, at Kommissionens behandling er retfžrdig. 
This last critical element could imply that the applicants have concerns about the fairness of treatment in some cases.
Medfżrer stżtteberegningsprincippet, at ansżgninger om stżtte efter regionale katastrofer ikke behandles retfžrdigt? 
Does the grant calculation principle compromise the fair treatment of grants allocated to regional disasters?
Efter den metode, som Kommissionen anvender (1), bruges der i forbindelse med alle regionale katastrofer samme faste stżttesats, nemlig 2,5 % af den samlede direkte skade, og ansż-gerstatens eller -regionens ČvelstandÇ tages ikke i betragtning. 
According to the method used by the Commission (1), all regional disasters receive the same percentage of total direct damage, namely a flat rate of 2,5 % of the total direct damage, without taking into account the ÔprosperityŐ of the applicant state or region.
I forbindelse med stżrre katastrofer beregnes stżtten derimod p grundlag af ansżgerens bruttonationalindkomst, s der sikres en mere retfžrdig behandling af landene i betragtning af deres respektive velstand. 
In contrast, in major disasters the grant calculation is based on the Gross National Income of the applicant giving a more equitable treatment between countries in relation to their prosperity.

C 153/12 EN Official Journal of the European Union 18.6.2008 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 42.
Rettens undersżgelse af fondens aktivitet i perioden 2002-2006 viser, at fonden ikke reagerer hurtigt. 
The CourtŐs examination of the operation of the Fund in 2002-2006 shows that the Fund does not provide a rapid response.
I gennemsnit mtte ansżgerne vente 12 mneder efter katastrofen, fżr stżtten blev udbetalt. 
On average, the applicants had to wait for 12 months after the disaster to receive payment of the assistance.
Ventetiden er ikke afhžngig af katastrofens kategori, dens art eller det land, ansżgningen kommer fra. 
The delays are not related to the category or the nature of the disaster, or to the origin of the application.
Hvor lang tid det tager at mobilisere midlerne afhžnger hovedsagelig af, hvilke administrative regler der anvendes, hvor hurtig Kommissionen er, hvor hurtigt de nationale myndigheder svarer Kommissionen, og kvaliteten af de oplysninger, ansżgerne indsender i de enkelte sager (jf. punkt 10-26). 
The time necessary to mobilise funds depends mainly on the extent of the administrative rules applied, on the rapidity of the Commission, on the promptness of the national authoritiesŐ replies and on the quality of the information provided in each case by the applicants (see paragraphs 10 to 26).
Det har vist sig at vžre effektivt at lade det nuvžrende antal ansatte forvalte fonden i Kommissionen. 
The existing number of staff managing the Fund at the level of the Commission has proved to be efficient.
Retten konstaterede desuden, at de samlede omkostninger ved forvaltningen af fonden er meget lave i forhold til den ydede stżtte (jf. punkt 27-31). 
In addition, the total costs of managing the Fund were found to be very low in relation to the aid granted (see paragraphs 27 to 31).
Retten konstaterede ingen sager, hvor fonden havde manglet smidighed i behandlingen af stżtteansżgninger. 
There are no cases where the Fund showed a lack of flexibility in its treatment of applications for aid.
Uden at drage afvisningen af ansżgninger i tvivl bemžrker Retten dog, at der i nogle f sager er uklarhed i begrundelsen for afvisningen af ansżgninger vedrżrende regionale katastrofer. 
Without questioning the rejection of applications there are a few cases which illustrate a lack of clarity in the justification of the rejection of applications for regional disasters.
Efter den metode, der anvendes til beregning af stżttebelżbet i forbindelse med godkendte ansżgninger vedrżrende regionale katastrofer, tages statens velstand ikke i betragtning, hvilket kan medfżre, at princippet om retfžrdighed ikke bliver overholdt (jf. punkt 32-40). 
The method used for the calculation of the grant amount for approved regional disasters does not take into account the prosperity of the state, so it may not respect the principle of fairness (see paragraphs 32 to 40).
Endelig skal det bemžrkes, at alle de ansżgere, der besvarede rundspżrget, er tilfredse med fonden trods de nžvnte problemer. 
Finally it should be noted that, despite the issues raised above, all applicants that have replied to the survey are satisfied with the Fund.
Fonden har sledes tjent sit grundlžggende forml, som er at vise solidaritet med medlemsstater i katastrofesituationer (jf. punkt 41). 
In this way the Fund has achieved its underlying objective which is to demonstrate solidarity with Member States in disaster situations (see paragraph 41).
Med henblik p at gżre udbetalingen af stżtten hurtigere, bżr Kommissionen inden udgangen af 2008 indfżre procedurer, som sikrer, at modtagerstaten s hurtigt som muligt fr detaljeret vejledning om, hvilke krav ansżgningen skal opfylde, helst inden for en uge efter at staten eller regionen har givet Kommissionen meddelelse om, at der vil blive sżgt om stżtte fra fonden. 
In order to speed up the payment of the assistance, the Commission should have procedures in place, before the end of 2008, to ensure that an applicant state receives detailed guidance on the requirements of the application as soon as possible, preferably within one week of a state or region advising the Commission that they will be seeking aid from the Fund.
Desuden bżr Kommissionen tage direkte kontakt til det organ i medlemsstaten eller tiltrždelsesstaten, som har ansvaret for at udarbejde ansżgningen, s den kan gżre opmžrksom p de almindelige svagheder i ansżgningerne og fremhžve vigtigheden af, at ansżgningen og andre dokumenter, som Kommissionen mtte bede om, herunder den endelige aftale, bliver indsendt hurtigt. 
In addition the Commission should establish direct contact with the body in the Member or Accession State responsible for preparing the application to warn them of the common weaknesses in applications received and stress the importance of sending back the application and any other document requested by the Commission, including the final agreement, rapidly.

18.6.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 153/15 THE COMMISSIONŐS REPLIES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY III.
Fristen for, hvor hurtigt midlerne stilles til rdighed for modtagerne, er en direkte konsekvens af proceduren i EUSF-forordningen, som i praksis har betydet, at EUSF ikke er et hurtigt beredskabsinstrument, men et refinansieringsinstrument for udgifter, som allerede er afholdt af de nationale myndigheder. 
The rapidity with which funds are made available to beneficiaries is a direct reflection of the procedure provided in the EUSF Regulation, which have meant that, in practice, it is not a rapid response instrument but a refinancing instrument for expenditures already incurred by the national authorities.
Det er bevidst fra lovgivers side, idet Kommissionen i henhold til artikel 2 i forordningen Čmeget nżjeÇ skal gennemg ansżgninger i forbindelse med regionale katastrofer. 
This is intended by the legislator, who requires the Commission in Article 2 of the Regulation to examine Ôwith the utmost rigourŐ any regional disaster application.
V. Solidaritetsfonden har hjulpet med at lette de finansielle byrder for de stater, der har vžret ramt af katastrofer, og den har haft positiv betydning for borgernes opfattelse af EU, idet den har bidraget med hjžlp og yderligere ressourcer i tilfžlde af sžrligt store problemer. 
V. The Solidarity Fund has helped to alleviate the financial burden on states affected by disasters and it has been beneficial to the image of the Union in the eyes of its citizens, offering help and additional resources at times of particular hardship.
Kommissionen tilslutter sig Rettens anbefalinger. 
The Commission agrees to the recommendations of the Court.
Umiddelbart efter forordningens vedtagelse blev der udarbejdet et standardansżgningsskema og en detaljeret ansżgningsvejledning (begge dele kan hentes p InfoRegioŐs websted). 
Shortly after the adoption of the Regulation a standard application form was developed as well as a detailed guidance note for applications (both available on the InfoRegio website).
Det er Kommissionens hensigt at tage direkte kontakt til det organ, der udarbejder ansżgningen, forudsat at ansżgerstaten giver sin tilladelse, og at supplere ansżgningsvejledningen med oplysninger, der gżr ansżgerne opmžrksomme p eventuelle kilder til forsinkelse. 
The Commission intends to seek direct contact with the body preparing the request, provided that the applicant state agrees, and to extend its application guidelines in order to warn applicant bodies of possible sources of delays.
BEMŽRKNINGER 10-13. 
OBSERVATIONS 10-13.
Der kan vžre overlapning mellem de fem faser, som Retten har fastsat. 
Some of the five stages identified by the Court may overlap.
F.eks. mangler der ofte i forbindelse med den fżrste fremlžggelse af ansżgningen en ržkke vigtige oplysninger, og Kommissionen kan ikke afslutte sin vurdering, inden de manglende oplysninger foreligger. 
For example, the first presentation of the application is often lacking essential information and the Commission cannot complete its assessment until it receives the missing information.
I forbindelse med ansżgningerne i 2005 (ret med de fleste ansżgninger i den periode, som Retten har gennemget) gik der i gennemsnit 93 dage, inden Kommissionen havde modtaget de manglende oplysninger. 
For the applications received in 2005 (the year with the highest number of applications during the period assessed by the Court) the average time before the Commission had received the missing information was 93 days.
I tilfžlde, hvor ansżgningerne er blevet indgivet efter den tiugers frist, som er fastsat i forordningen, er de blevet afvist af Kommissionen. 
In those cases, in which the application was submitted after the 10-week deadline foreseen by the Regulation, the Commission rejected the applications.
Kommissionen anmoder om yderligere bevillinger ved hjžlp af et forelżbigt forslag til žndringsbudget (FFŽB), som budgetmyndighedens to parter tager stilling til (Rdet og Europa-Parlamentet) (1). 
The Commission requests additional appropriations via a Preliminary Draft Amending Budget (PDAB) decided on by the two arms of the budgetary authority (Council and Parliament) (1).
24-25.

De fżrste fire ansżgninger til EUSF i 2002 bżr betragtes adskilt og kan ikke bruges som benchmark, da de blev behandlet under ganske sžrlige omstžndigheder. 
The first four submissions under the EUSF in 2002 should be looked at separately and cannot be used as a benchmark as they were dealt with under very unusual circumstances.
Der blev modtaget en komplet ansżgning p Kommissionens arbejdssprog p et meget tidligt tidspunkt, og de blev behandlet, mens forordningen stadig var under udarbejdelse, og de interne procedurer endnu ikke var fastlagt. 
Complete applications in working languages of the Commission were received very early and dealt with while the Regulation was still being developed and the internal procedures yet had to be (1) Point 26 of the Interinstitutional Agreement between the Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management. established.
Eftersom stżttebetingelserne i forordningen blev fastsat p baggrund af disse fire katastrofer, var den kržvede (1) Jf. punkt 26 i den interinstitutionelle aftale mellem Europa-Parlamentet, Rdet og Kommissionen om budgetdisciplin og forsvarlig żkonomisk forvaltning. vurderingsperiode ekstremt kort. 
As the eligibility rules in the Regulation were established in the context of these first disasters, the required assessment time was extremely short.
Det meget store stżttebelżb p 728 mio. EUR, som aldrig siden er blevet overget, berettigede, at der ved hjžlp af budgetproceduren blev vedtaget et sžrligt žndringsbudget. 
The very high total aid amount of EUR 728 million, never been exceeded since then, allowed for a separate amending budget in the budget procedure.
Det faktum, at gennemfżrelsesaftalerne blev undertegnet p Det Europžiske Rds mżde (i Kżbenhavn), vidner om den stžrke politiske vilje og den usždvanlige karakter af de fżrste tilfžlde. 
The fact that the implementation agreements were signed on the occasion of a European Council meeting (Copenhagen) also illustrates strong political will and the exceptional character of these first cases.
Den nuvžrende EUSF-forordning indeholder intet om et hurtigt beredskabsinstrument, men drejer sig kun om refinansiering af beredskabsudgifter, som allerede er afholdt af de nationale myndigheder. 
The current EUSF Regulation does not provide for a rapid response instrument but only for a refinancing instrument for emergency expenditures already incurred by the national authorities.
Ifżlge Kommissionens opfattelse er kriterierne i forordningen blevet anvendt p den klarest mulige mde (se de detaljerede kommentarer til tekstboks 3). 
The Commission considers that the criteria in the Regulation have been applied in the clearest possible way (see detailed comments in textbox 3).
Forordningens definition af en regional katastrofe er dog temmelig vag, og det er vanskeligt at opfylde betingelserne for at f sin ansżgning godkendt. 
However, the definition of regional disaster in the Regulation is rather vague and conditions for successful applications are difficult to meet.
Medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen investerer megen tid og mange bestržbelser i at forberede og vurdere ansżgninger vedrżrende mindre regionale katastrofer, der som regel fżrer til afslag. 
Member States and the Commission invest considerable time and effort in, respectively, preparing and assessing applications for smaller regional disasters that regularly lead to rejections.
I alle de nžvnte tilfžlde, hvor Kommissionen foreslog, at der blev bevilget EUSF-midler, blev det godkendt af Rdet og Europa-Parlamentet. 
In all cases cited where the Commission proposed the mobilisation of the EUSF, this was endorsed by the Council and Parliament.
Tekstboks 3.

En af begrundelserne for at afvise ansżgningerne vedrżrende skovbrande i 2005 var, at katastroferne ikke havde pvirket en stżrre del af befolkningen. 
One reason for rejecting the Ôforest fireŐ applications in 2005 was that the disasters did not affect a major part of the population.
En anden begrundelse var, at de ikke havde haft nogen Čalvorlig og langvarig indvirkning p livsvilkrene og den żkonomiske stabilitet i regionenÇ. 
Another reason was that there had been no Ôserious and lasting repercussions on living conditions and the economic stability of the regionŐ.
C 153/16 DA Den Europžiske Unions Tidende 18.6.2008 Prestige-olieforureningssagen, som Retten henviser til, kan ikke sammenlignes med nogen af de andre ansżgninger, som Kommissionen har behandlet, da Prestige-katastrofen skete til sżs, hvor befolkningskriteriet ikke med rimelighed kan anvendes. 
C 153/16 EN Official Journal of the European Union 18.6.2008 The case of the Prestige oilspill to which the Court alludes is not comparable to any other application ever treated by the Commission because the Prestige disaster happened at sea where the population criterion cannot reasonably be applied.
Som Retten fastslr, er det ikke i henhold til forordningen et krav, at civilbeskyttelsesordningen anvendes. 
As the Court indicates, activating the mechanism for civil protection is not a requirement under the Regulation.
Spżrgsmlet om, hvorvidt civilbeskyttelsesordningen blev anvendt, kan derfor ikke have haft nogen betydning i de to tilfžlde. 
Thus, the question whether or not the civil protection mechanism was mobilised could not even have been relevant for the decision in both cases.
Den metode, der er blevet anvendt til at beregne tilskuddet, er blevet diskuteret i detaljer med Rdet og har aldrig givet anledning til kritik fra modtagerlandene. 
The method for calculating the grant was discussed in detail with the Council and has in no case given rise to criticisms from beneficiary countries.
KONKLUSIONER OG ANBEFALINGER 42. 
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 42.
Spżrgsmlene vedrżrende behandlingsfristerne hžnger sammen med de betingelser og procedurer, der er fastsat i forordningen om Solidaritetsfonden. 
The issues raised with regard to rapidity are inherent to the conditions and procedures imposed by the Solidarity Fund Regulation.
Som det fremgr af den hidtidige erfaring er der grundlag Ń og ifżlge Kommissionens opfattelse behov Ń for forbedringer, og Kommissionen fremsatte derfor i 2005 et forslag om revision af forordningen omfattende enklere og klarere kriterier for fondens anvendelse med kortere frister. 
As the experience gathered so far shows that there is room Ń and in the CommissionŐs view the need Ń for improvement, the Commission in 2005 presented a proposal for a revised regulation with simpler and clearer criteria for its activation in less time.
Forslaget blev meget positivt modtaget af Europa-Parlamentet, men indtil videre har der ikke vžret nogen bevžgelse i Rdet. 
The proposal was very favourably received by the European Parliament but so far there has been no progress in the Council.
En af de vžsentligste žndringer i forslaget om en ny forordning er derfor, at der kun skal anvendes kvantitative gržnser for, hvor stor skaden skal vžre, for at fonden kan anvendes, hvilket ville vžre til fordel for fondens gennemskuelighed. 
One of the major changes in the proposed, new regulation is therefore to resort only to quantitative thresholds for the level of damage required to trigger utilisation of the Fund, which would improve the transparency of the Fund.
Med den foreslede revision af forordningen for Solidaritetsfonden ville det for de nationale myndigheder vžre klarere, hvornr de kunne forvente stżtte fra fonden til at afhjžlpe fżlgerne af en katastrofe. 
With the proposed revision of the Solidarity Fund Regulation, the national authorities would have a clearer idea of when the Fund is likely to be able to support them in recovering from a disaster.
Med hensyn til retfžrdighedsprincippet tages der hensyn til et lands velstand, navnlig ved definitionen af gržnsen for en Čstżrre katastrofeÇ. 
As regards fairness, the prosperity of a country is taken into account mainly in the definition of the Ômajor disasterŐ threshold.
Kommissionen tilslutter sig Rettens anbefaling. 
The Commission agrees with the recommendation of the Court.
Den bemžrker imidlertid, at den umiddelbart efter forordningens vedtagelse offentliggjorde en vejledning for ansżgerlandene og i enkeltheder forklarede, hvordan den anvender forordningens bestemmelser. 
It notes however that, shortly after the adoption of the Regulation, it published guidelines for applicant countries and explained in detail in what way it applies the provisions of the Regulation.
Ud fra et żnske om at forenkle proceduren og bidrage til at undg forsinkelser p grund af for sent fremlagte oplysninger har Kommissionen udarbejdet et standardansżgningsskema samt en detaljeret ansżgningsvejledning. 
In order to simplify the procedure and to help avoid delays in the submission of information, the Commission developed a standard application form as well as a detailed guidance note for applications.
Begge dele er tilgžngelige p InfoRegioŐs websted. 
It is also available on the InfoRegio website.
I mange tilfžlde er ansżgningerne imidlertid blevet fremsat Čad hocÇ, uden at ansżgersta-terne p forhnd har haft kontakt med Kommissionen. 
In many cases however, applications were submitted Ôad hocŐ, without the applicant states seeking any prior contact with the Commission.
Kommissionen tilslutter sig Rettens anbefaling om at tage direkte kontakt med det organ, der forbereder ansżgningen. 
The Commission agrees to the recommendation of the Court to establish direct contact with the body responsible for preparing the application.
I standardansżgningsskemaet foreslr Kommissionen, at ansżgerstaten oplyser navnet p det organ, der indgiver ansżgningen, samt angiver en administrativ kontakt. 
In the standard application form the Commission proposes that the applicant state indicates the body introducing the request and an administrative contact.
Kommissionen har til hensigt at uddybe ansżgningsvejledningen med det forml at gżre de ansżgende organer opmžrksomme p eventuelle risici for forsinkelser i proceduren og understrege betydningen af, at ansżgningen og alle andre dokumenter hurtigt indsendes til Kommissionen. 
The Commission intends to extend its application guidelines in order to warn applicant bodies of possible sources of delays in the procedure and in order to stress the importance of sending back the application and any other document requested by the Commission rapidly.
