Siden da har Retten undersżgt forskellige aspekter ved den fžlles markedsordning, isžr i forbindelse med revisionen med henblik p den rlige revisionserklžring (DAS). 
Since then the Court has examined various aspects of the CMO, notably in its work for the annual Statement of Assurance (DAS).
Mlene for den revision, der er omhandlet i denne beretning, var at f sikkerhed for, at Kommissionens forvaltning af den fžlles markedsordning for sukker er żkonomisk forsvarlig, og at undersżge, om de specifikke ml for den fžlles markedsordning svel som de overordnede ml for den fžlles landbrugspolitik er net. 
The objectives of the present audit were to obtain assurance that the management by the Commission of the sugar CMO is sound and to review the extent to which the specific objectives of the CMO as well as the overall objectives of the CAP have been achieved.
REVISIONSMETODE 6. 
METHODOLOGY USED 6.
Omfanget af revisionen af Kommissionens forvaltning af den fžlles markedsordning blev fastlagt med det ml for żje, at alle aktiviteter, som Kommissionen med rimelighed kan holdes ansvarlig for, skulle identificeres. 
For the CommissionŐs management of the CMO, the audit scope was developed with the aim of identifying explicitly the activities for which the Commission could reasonably be held accountable.
Der blev identificeret seks sdanne hovedaktiviteter (jf. punkt17). 
Six key activities were identified (paragraph 17).
Kriterierne for bedżmmelsen af disse aktiviteter var: a) kvaliteten af ČinputÇ (korrekte oplysninger) b) kvaliteten af ČthroughputÇ (analyse og anvendelse af oplysning-erne) c) kvaliteten af ČoutputÇ (fremsatte forslag og vedtagne beslutninger og aktioner). 8. 
The assessment criteria in respect of these activities were determined as: (a) the quality of the inputs (the availability of sound information); (b) the quality of the throughputs (the analysis and use made of the information); (c) the quality of the outputs (the proposals made and the decisions and actions taken). 8.
Korrekte oplysninger om resultaterne (dvs. i hvor hżj grad mlene er net) er et vigtigt input, som er en forudsžtning for korrekt forvaltning, og det falder derfor ind under Kommissionens forvaltningsansvar at indhente sdanne oplysninger. 
Sound information on the outcomes (i.e. the state of achievement of the objectives set) is a key input for proper management and is therefore within the CommissionŐs management responsibility. However, the extent to which the CMO and CAP objectives 1 (2) OJ L 177,1.7.1981, p.
I hvor hżj grad mlene for den fžlles markedsordning og den fžlles landbrugspolitik er net, afhžnger imidlertid af nogle faktorer, f.eks. żget produktivitet, som ligger uden for Kommissionens kontrol, og som den derfor ikke kan holdes ansvarlig for. 
1. () OJ C 290, 7.11.1991. have been achieved depends on factors such as improvements in productivity which are beyond the CommissionŐs control and for which it cannot be held accountable.
Retten analyserede resultaterne p grundlag af en gennemgang af data og samtaler med en bred vifte af interesseparter (4). 
The analysis of the outcomes was based on a review of data and interviews with a wide range of stakeholders (4).
Desuden blev studier og undersżgelser foretaget af andre organer taget i betragtning. 
In addition, studies and research material from outside bodies were taken into account.
EU-MARKEDET OG VERDENSMARKEDET FOR SUKKER 10. 
THE EU AND WORLD SUGAR MARKET 10.
I bilag II gives der en kort beskrivelse af EU-markedet og verdensmarkedet for sukker. 
In Annex II a brief description of the EU and world sugar market is given.
Det fremgr af denne beskrivelse, at verdensmarkedet i de sidste fem r har vžret kendetegnet ved betydelig overproduktion og voksende lagre. 
It shows that, in the last five years, the world market has been characterised by considerable overproduction and a rising level of stocks.
Verdens sukkerlagre har nu net et historisk hżjt niveau, hvilket har bevirket, at priserne er faldet. 
World stocks are now at a historically high level, which has had the effect of depressing prices.
I 1999/2000 skżnnes sukkerproduktionen p verdensplan at vžre p 135 millioner tons og forbruget p 127 millioner tons. 
World production of sugar in 1999/2000 is estimated at 135 million tonnes and consumption at 127 million tonnes.
Lagrene er fordoblet siden 1989/90 og skżnnes nu at vžre p 62 millioner tons (49 % af det rlige forbrug), hvorimod de var p 31 millioner tons (28 % af det rlige forbrug) i 1989/90, som det fremgr af nedenstende figur (figur 1). 
Stocks have doubled to an estimated 62 million tonnes (49 % of annual consumption) from 31 million tonnes (28 % of consumption) in 1989/1990, as shown in the following chart (Chart 1).
I EU overstiger produktionen ogs i vžsentlig grad efterspżrgslen, og der er store lagre. 
In the EU, production also considerably exceeds demand and high stocks exist.
I bilag III vises det, at EU i 1998/99 fremstillede 18,1 million tons sukker, hvoraf 14,2 millioner tons l inden for rammerne af produktionskvoterne (5). 2,2 millioner tons blev fremstillet ud over maksimalkvoten, og 1,7 millioner tons blev fremstillet af raffineret rżrsukker (pržferenceindfżrsler). 
Annex III shows that in 1998/1999 the EU produced 18,1 million tonnes of sugar, of which 14,2 million tonnes were within the production quotas (5), 2,2 million tonnes in excess of quotas and 1,7 million tonnes from refined cane sugar (preferential imports).
Samme r var forbruget i EU 12,7 millioner tons. 
In the same year, EU consumption was 12,7 million tonnes.
Produktions-overskuddet har imidlertid ingen indvirkning p priserne i EU p grund af den fžlles markedsordnings prisstżtteordninger og eks-portprogram. 
However, the resulting surplus has no effect on EU prices due to the operation of the CMO price-support mechanisms and export programme.
Nedenstende figur (figur2) viser, hvor meget den EU-garanterede sukkerforsyning i form af sukkerroekvoter og pržferenceindfżrsler af rżrsukker overstiger forbruget. 
The chart below (Chart 2) shows the extent to which the EU-guaranteed sugar supply, represented by the beet quotas and preferential cane sugar imports, exceeds consumption.
EU-kvoterne ligger i żjeblikket mere end 3 millioner tons over det niveau, hvor EUŐs sukkerforsyning ville svare til forbruget. 
EU quotas are currently more than 3 million tonnes above the level at which the EU sugar supply would equal consumption.
Nedenstende figur (figur 3) viser, at den garanterede forsyning (sżjlerne i figuren) overstiger forbruget i alle medlemsstater undtagen Spanien, som har et betydeligt underskud, og Finland og Sverige, som har sm underskud. 
The following chart (Chart 3) shows that the guaranteed supply (represented by the columns) exceeds the consumption in each Member State with the exceptions of Spain, which has a significant deficit, and Finland and Sweden which have small deficits.
(4) Herunder sukkerroedyrkere, fabrikanter, sukkerhandlere, industrier, der anvender sukker, forbrugerrepržsentanter, medlemsstater og 5 repržsentanter for AVS-lande. () Den samlede kvote, som er omfattet af interventionsgarantien, er delt i en A-og en B-kvote. 
(4) Interested parties, including growers, processors, sugar traders, industrial users, consumers representatives, Member States and ACP rep-5 resentatives. () The total quota for which the intervention guarantee is applicable is divided into A and B quotas.
For A-kvoten opkržves der en produktionsafgift p hżjst 2 %, mens afgiften for B-kvoten er p op til 37,5 %. 
For the A quota a maximum production levy of 2 % is charged, whereas for the B quota the levy is up to 37,5 %.
Der gžlder ingen garanteret interventionspris for roesukker, som produceres ud over maksimalkvoten, kaldet C-sukker. 
No intervention guarantee applies to production of beet sugar in excess of the quotas, known as C sugar, which may not be sold on the EU market and so is exported without export refunds.

KOMMISSIONENS FORVALTNING Indledning 17. 
MANAGEMENT BY THE COMMISSION Introduction 17.
I denne del af beretningen undersżges input (oplysninger) og output (forordninger, beslutninger og forslag) i Kommissionens forvaltning af den fžlles markedsordning. 
In this section the CommissionŐs management of the CMO is assessed in terms of the inputs (information) and outputs (regulations, decisions and proposals).
Undersżgelsen omfatter Kommissionens hovedaktiviteter: forslag til produktionskvo-ter, rlige forslag til institutionelle priser og beslutninger vedrżrende eksportprogrammet og ČselvfinansieringsordningenÇ. 
The main Commission activities are covered; the proposals for production quotas, annual proposals for institutional prices, decisions on the export programme and the Ôself-financingŐ system.
Det undersżges ogs, i hvor hżj grad Kommissionen har sikkerhed for, at den fžlles markedsordning fungerer godt, og det undersżges, hvordan Kommissionen reagerer p begivenheder, der indvirker p den fžlles markedsordning, samt hvordan den forholder sig til de forskellige interesseparter. 
The extent to which the Commission has assurance that the CMO is functioning well is also examined, along with how the Commission responds to events affecting the CMO and to the different stakeholders.
Kommissionens forslag til kvoter 18. 
Commission proposals on quotas 18.
Kvoteordningen, som er et centralt element i den fžlles markedsordning, blev indfżrt i 1968 for en overgangsperiode og er efterfżlgende blevet forlžnget flere gange, senest i 1994 for perioden 1995-2001. 
The quota arrangements, a central element of the CMO, were introduced in 1968 for a transitional period and subsequently renewedonseveraloccasionsandmostrecentlyin1994forthe period 1995 to 2001.
Retten undersżgte Kommissionens forslag til kvoter for 1995-2001 (2) for at bedżmme, om det med de foreslede kvoteniveauer og -fordelinger ville vžre muligt at n mlene for den fžlles landbrugspolitik og den fžlles markedsordning p en produktiv og effektiv mde. 
The Commission quota proposals for 1995 to 2001 (2) were assessed to determine whether the level and allocation of the quotas were proposed in a way consistent with the efficient and effective achievement of the CAP and CMO objectives.
I sine forslag stillede Kommissionen tre grundlžggende spżrgsml: a) Bżr produktionskvoteordningen stadig viderefżres? b) I bekržftende fald, hvor store bżr kvoterne vžre? c) Er det nżdvendigt at žndre de nuvžrende instrumenter til selvfinansiering af den fžlles markedsordning? 
In its proposals the Commission put forward three basic questions. (a) Is it necessary for the production quota system to continue? (b) If so, at what level should the quotas be set? (c) Is it necessary to modify the present instruments for the self-financing of the CMO?
20. mellemlang sigt usikre, og den forventede ikke vžsentlige og varige virkninger p priserne. 
20. The CommissionŐs analysis was that the medium-term prospects on the world market were uncertain and that no significant and lasting effects on prices were foreseen.
Kommissionen konkluderede, at produktionskvoteordningen burde opretholdes med užndrede kvoter, fordi det var nżdvendigt at kontrollere den garanterede produktion, navnlig for kunne at opfylde GATT-forpligtelserne. 
Taking into account the need to control guaranteed production, in particular to meet the GATT commitments, it concluded that the production quota system should be maintained, with quotas kept at their existing levels.
I forslaget kom Kommissionen ikke ind p, hvor langt man var net i forhold til mlene for den fžlles landbrugspolitik. Den analyserede heller ikke de żkonomiske virkninger af den fžlles markedsordning eller gjorde sig overvejelser om mulige reformer eller alternativer. 
The Commission proposal did not address the extent to which the CAP objectives were being achieved, did not present any analysis of the economic effects of the CMO and did not consider possible reforms or alternatives.
Specielt omfattede forslaget ikke fżlgende: a) en undersżgelse af de opnede produktionsforbedringer og en vurdering af, om udviklingen i sektoren var rationel b) en analyse af roedyrkernes indtžgter c) en vurdering af, om forbrugerpriserne var rimelige. 
In particular, there was: (a) noassessmentoftheimprovementsinproductivityachieved, nor consideration of whether the development of the sector was rational; (b) no analysis of the incomes of beet growers; (c) no consideration of whether the prices borne by consumers were reasonable.

Den eneste oplysning om dyrkning og forarbejdning af sukkerroer i EU var faktisk en tabel, der viste, at EU-kvoterne hvert r fżrte til et overskud p mellem 1,3 og 1,5 millioner tons. 
In fact, the only information presented on the state of the EUŐs beet growing and processing activities was a table showing that the EU quotas led to a surplus each year of between 1,3 and 1,5 million tonnes.
Denne forsyningsbalance var imidlertid ret misvisende. Den viste kun halvdelen af det strukturbetingede overskud, fordi det importerede sukker, som raffineres i EU, ikke var medregnet, selv om EU er retligt forpligtet til at importere 1,3 millioner tons rżrsukker fra AVS-landene. 
This supply balance sheet was rather misleading, however, as it only showed half of the structural surplus by not including imported sugar refined in the EU, even though the import of 1,3 million tonnes of cane sugar from the ACP countries is a legal obligation.
Selv om disse spżrgsml ikke blev behandlet i Kommissionens forslag i 1994, viste en analyse af Kommissionens arbejdsdokumenter, at dens tjenester i 1992 forberedte en grundig undersżgelse af, hvordan sukkerordningen fungerede, hvilken virkning den havde, og hvilke problemer den stod over for. 
Although these concerns were not addressed in the CommissionŐs 1994 proposals, an analysis of Commission working files showed that in 1992 its services prepared a thorough assessment of the operation of the sugar regime, its impact and the challenges it faced.
En intern arbejdsgruppe s p en bred vifte af reformmuligheder, nogle af dem temmelig radikale. 
An internal working group considered a wide range of options for reform, some of them quite radical.
De fleste af de spżrgsml, som er nžvnt under punkt 23, blev overvejet i forskellig grad. 
Most of the issues listed above were considered, to varying degrees.
Gruppen konkluderede, at priserne burde sžnkes betydeligt over en periode p syv r. 
They concluded that there should be a significant cut in prices over a seven-year period.
Det endte imidlertid med, at Kommissionen blot foreslog, at den eksisterende ordning fortsatte užndret i et r, mens man undersżgte virkningerne af 1992-reformen af den fžlles landbrugspolitik vedrżrende de andre vigtige markafgrżder og virkningen af det netop oprettede indre marked. 
However, in the end, the Commission simply proposed that the existing regime be continued unchanged for one year while the effects of the 1992 reform of the CAP for the other main arable crops, and of the newly introduced single market, were assessed.
Igen i 1993 foreslog Kommissionen en forlžngelse p et r, denne gang for at afvente resultaterne af GATT-forhandlingerne. 
Again in 1993 the Commission proposed a one-year extension, this time pending the results of the GATT negotiations.
Efter indgelsen af den aftale, som var et resultat af forhandlingerne under Uruguay-runden, foreslog Kommissionen i 1994, at kvoteordningen skulle viderefżres i en periode p seks r. 
In 1994, following the Uruguay Round Agreement the Commission made its proposal for the renewal of the quota system for a six-year period.
De centrale elementer i dette forslag var dels de minimumjusteringer, som var nżdvendige for at sikre, at GATT-aftalen blev overholdt, dels foranstaltninger, som kunne sikre Fžllesskabets raffineringsindustri tilstržkkelige forsyninger af rsukker. 
This proposal concentrated on the minimum adjustments to the regime necessary for compliance with the GATT and measures to ensure that the CommunityŐs refining industry had adequate supplies of raw sugar.
Det gjaldt stżtte til oplagring af sukker produceret ud over kvoterne (C-sukker), der overfżres til det fżlgende produktionsr, national stżtte i Italien og produktionsrestitutionssatsen for sukker til den kemiske industri. 
There were also some relatively minor proposals to tackle certain areas where the CMO was not functioning as intended, namely the payment of storage aid on sugar produced in excess of quotas (C sugar) carried forward, national aids in Italy, and the production refund for the chemical industry.
I begrundelsen til forslaget gav Kommissionen en god beskrivelse af disse mindre spżrgsml og argumenterede overbevisende for de foreslede žndringer, som var baseret p grundige undersżgelser og overvejelser vedrżrende mulige alternativer og konsekvenser. 
For these issues that were included in the proposal, the explanatory memorandum gave a good description and well-reasoned arguments which were based on thorough studies and assessments of the alternatives and the implications.
Under forberedelsen af forslaget havde Kommissionens tjenester ogs analyseret andre spżrgsml, herunder dyrkernes indtžgter, forarbejdningsindustriens margen, produktionens koncentrering p fžrre virksomheder, alternativ anvendelse af sukker og muligheder for overfżrsel af kvoter. Dette materiale blev imidlertid heller ikke forelagt beslutningstagerne (1). 
However, the preparatory work by the Commission services on analysing issues such as growersŐ incomes, processing industry margins and concentration, alternative uses of sugar and quota transferability was again not presented to the decision-makers (1).
Der blev ikke oplyst noget om, hvorvidt en reform af ordningen var żnskelig p baggrund af reformerne af den fžlles landbrugspolitik og oprettelsen af det indre marked. 
There was no information given on the desirability of reform in the light of the CAP reforms and the single market. The concerns of consumers and industrial users were not addressed.
Det fremgr klart af ovenstende, at Kommissionen ikke fremlagde alle de relevante oplysninger i sin begrundelse for at viderefżre kvoteordningen for perioden 1995-2001, og den fremlagde heller ikke en omfattende analyse af, hvor langt man var net i forhold til mlene for den fžlles markedsordning, selv om Kommissionens tjenester havde adgang til omfattende, om end ikke udtżmmende oplysninger. 
It is clear from the above that the Commission did not present all the appropriate information to justify the continuation of the quota arrangements for 1995 to 2001, nor did it give a comprehensive analysis of the state of achievement of the CMOŐs objectives. At the same time it was noted that extensive, although not complete, information was available to the Commission services.
Endvidere fremlagde Kommissionen ingen vurdering af den forventede effekt af forslagene sammenholdt med andre muligheder, og heller ingen undersżgelser af ordningens konsekvenser for forbrugere og miljż. rlige forslag til institutionelle priser Data anvendt under forberedelsen af prisforslagene 32. 
Furthermore, the Commission did not present the likely impact of their proposals compared with other options and there was no assessment of the consequences of the regime for the consumer, nor of the impact on the environment.
2038/1999 skal Kommissionen foresl en interventionspris for hvidt sukker og en basispris for sukkerroer. 
Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 requires the Commission to propose an intervention price for white sugar and a basic price for beet.
