CARDS-programmet (1) džkkede fżlgende lande p det vestlige Balkan: Albanien, Bosnien-Hercegovina, Kroatien, Forbundsrepublikken Jugoslavien (FRJ) og Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien. 
The CARDS programme (1) covers the following countries of the western Balkans: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
For s vidt angr bistanden til FRJ og dets successorstat, Statsunionen Serbien og Montenegro (2), blev CARDS-programmet opdelt i tre rlige programmer: Serbien-(3), Kosovo-og Montenegro-programmet. 
Concerning the assistance to the FRY and its successor the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro (2), the CARDS programme was split into three annual programmes: Serbia (3), Kosovo and Montenegro.
CARDS er et led i Den Europžiske Unions stabiliserings-og associeringsstrategi over for det vestlige Balkan, der opstod som reaktion p krigene i det tidligere Jugoslavien i 1990Őerne. 
CARDS is part of the European UnionŐs Stabilisation and Association strategy towards the western Balkans, which emerged in response to the wars in former Yugoslavia during the 1990s.
Stabiliserings-og associeringsstrategien markerede slutningen p den militžre konflikt, begyndelsen p landenes fysiske genopbygning og żkonomiske opsving (dvs. stabilisering) og stadigt tžttere forbindelse med Den Europžiske Union (dvs. associering). 
The Stabilisation and Association strategy marked the end of the military conflict, the start of physical reconstruction and economic re-launch of the countries (i.e. stabilisation) and increasingly closer ties with the European Union (i.e. association).
Det Europžiske Rd gav p mżdet i juni 2000 klart udtryk for, at denne integration i sidste ende kunne betyde medlemskab af Den Europžiske Union. 
The European Council meeting in June 2000 was explicit that this integration could ultimately mean membership of the European Union.
I pržamblen til CARDS-forordningen beskrives hovedformlet med bistanden: Den eksisterende fžllesskabsbistand bżr udbygges og omlžgges for at tilpasse den efter Den Europžiske Unions politiske ml for regionen og navnlig for at bidrage til at forstžrke stabiliserings-og associeringsprocessen og udvide de bistandsberettigede landes og instansers ansvar med hensyn til denne proces. 
The preamble of the CARDS Regulation describes the main objective of the assistance: ÔThe existing Community assistance should be expanded and redirected to adjust it to the European UnionŐs political objectives for the region and, particularly, to contribute to the stabilisation and association process and increase the responsibility of the recipient countries and entities in relation to that processŐ.
I henhold til forordningen bżr der desuden lžgges sžrlig vžgt p fžllesskabs-bistandens regionale dimension. 
Also, according to the Regulation the regional dimension of Community assistance should be given special attention.
Stabiliserings-og associeringsprocessen (SAP) er et gradvis tiltagende partnerskab, hvor EU tilbyder en blanding af handelsindrżmmelser (selvstžndige handelsforanstaltninger), żkonomisk og finansiel bistand (CARDS-programmet) og kon-traktforhold (stabiliserings-og associeringsaftaler). 
The Stabilisation and Association process (SAp) is a progressive partnership in which the EU offers a mixture of trade concessions (Autonomous Trade Measures), economic and financial assistance (CARDS Programme) and contractual relationships (Stabilisation and Association Agreements).

(2) I februar 2003 blev FRJ omdannet til en statsunion af to republikker, ČSerbien og MontenegroÇ. 
(2) In February 2003 the FRY was restructured into a State Union of two republics ÔSerbia and MontenegroŐ.
Forfatningscharteret gav hver af republikkerne ret til efter tre r at afholde folkeafstemning om sin uafhžngighed. 
The Constitutional Charter allowed, after three years, either republic to hold a referendum for their independence.
I forret 2006 afholdt Montenegro en uafhžngighedsfol-keafstemning i overensstemmelse med internationale standarder. 
Montenegro held an independence referendum in the spring of 2006 in line with international standards.
Stemmerne til fordel for en afbrydelse af forbindelsen med Serbien oversteg tžrsklen p 55 % og gav Montenegro ret til formelt at erklžre sig uafhžngigt den 3. juni 2006. 
The vote for severing ties with Serbia exceeded the 55 % threshold, allowing Montenegro to formally declare its independence on 3 June 2006.
To dage senere erklžrede Serbien, at det var successorstat for Statsunionen Serbien og Montenegro. 
Two days later, Serbia declared that it was the successor state to the union of Serbia and Montenegro.
I perioden 2000-2006 havde CARDS-programmet et samlet budget p over 5 000 millioner euro, navnlig til investeringsstżtte og institutionsopbygning. 
In the period from 2000 to 2006 the CARDS programme had a total budget of over 5 000 million euro, mainly for investment support and institution building.
Den vestlige Balkanregion har en samlet befolkning p ca. 24millioner. 
The total population in the western Balkans region is around 24 million.
CARDS-tildelingerne repržsenterede sledes en rlig stżtte p 30 euro pr. indbygger, hvad der viser, hvor stor politisk betydning EU tillžgger regionen (4). 
Thus the CARDS allocation represents an annual support of 30 euro per capita demonstrating the political importance that the EU attaches to the region (4).
6. CARDS-programmets vigtigste interventionsomrder var: a) genopbygning og demokratisk stabilisering, forsoning og flygtninges tilbagevenden b) institutionelle og lovgivningsmžssige fremskridt, herunder harmonisering til Den Europžiske Unions normer og metoder, stżtte for demokratiet og retsstaten, menneskerettighederne, civilsamfundet og medierne og indfżrelse af markedsżkonomi c) bžredygtig żkonomisk og social udvikling med strukturreform d) skabelse af tžttere forbindelser og regionalt samarbejde mellem landene indbyrdes og mellem dem, EU og de central-europžiske kandidatlande. 
6. are: (a) (b) (c) (d) The main areas of intervention of the CARDS programme reconstruction, democratic stabilisation, reconciliation and the return of refugees; institutional and legislative development, including harmonisation with European Union norms and approaches, the underpinning of democracy and the rule of law, human rights, civil society and the media, and the operation of a free market economy; sustainable economic and social development, including structural reform; promotion of closer relations and regional cooperation among countries and between them, the EU and the (then) candidate countries of central Europe.
I Europa-Kommissionen var Generaldirektoratet for Eksterne Forbindelser (RELEX) og Samarbejdskontoret EuropeAid i fžllesskab ansvarlige for forvaltningen af CARDS-programmet frem til begyndelsen af 2005. 
CARDS programme, until early 2005, was the joint responsibility of the Directorate-General for External Relations (DG RELEX) and the EuropeAid Co-operation Office.
RELEX havde ansvaret for politiske forbindelser og strategisk udvikling, som f.eks. udarbejdelse af landestrategipapirer og flerrige vejledende programmer. 
DG RELEX had the responsibility for political relations and strategic development such as preparation of the country strategy papers and multiannual indicative programmes.
Samarbejdskontoret EuropeAid var ansvarligt for forvaltningen af de rlige programmer. 
The EuropeAid Co-operation Office was responsible for the management of the annual programmes.
I begyndelsen af 2005 overtog Generaldirektoratet for Udvidelse (ELARG) ansvaret for hele projektcyklussen fra strategiudformning og planlžgning til gennemfżrelse. 
In early 2005 the Directorate-General for Enlargement (DG ELARG) took over the responsibility for the full project cycle from policy formulation and programming to the implementation.
REVISIONSMETODE OG REVISIONENS OMFANG 8. 
AUDIT SCOPE AND APPROACH 8.
Formlet med Den Europžiske Revisionsrets revision var at vurdere, om Kommissionen forvalter CARDS-programmet effektivt. 
The purpose of the European Court of Auditors audit was to assess on the effectiveness of the CommissionŐs management of the CARDS programme.
Hovedmlene for revisionen var at f besvaret fżlgende spżrgsml: a) b) (4) Var den strategiske vejledning vedrżrende programmerne relevant og konsekvent? Var de forvaltningstilgange, som Kommissionen havde etableret og anvendte, velegnede og produktive? Til sammenligning opereres der i Tacis-forordningen, der džkker samme periode som CARDS, med et belżb p under 2 euro pr. indbygger pr. r. 
The main objectives of the audit were to conclude on the extent to which: (a) the strategic guidance directing the programme was appropriate and coherent; (b) the management approaches established and used by the Commission were appropriate and efficient; (4) By way of comparison the Tacis Regulation covering the same period as CARDS foresees an amount of less than 2 euro per capita per annum.
C 285/6 DA Den Europžiske Unions Tidende 27.11.2007 c) d) Fremmede de finansierede projekter de bistandsberettigede landes ejerskab? 
C 285/6 EN Official Journal of the European Union 27.11.2007 (c) (d) the projects financed by the programme encouraged recipient country ownership; monitoring and evaluation were effective in identifying weaknesses and disseminating their findings, and the subsequent action taken by the Commission was timely.
Retten vurderede, om CARDS-programmet blev styret med tilstržkkelig strategisk vejledning, og om det blev rettet mod de involverede landes sžrlige behov og samtidig var kohžrent med de ml, der i forordningen er defineret for programmet, og med SAP i dens videre betydning. 
The Court assessed the extent to which the CARDS programme was governed by adequate strategic guidance and directed towards the specific need of the countries involved while being coherent with the regulatory-defined objectives of the programme and the SAp in its wider sense.
I overensstemmelse med CARDS-forordningen fastlagde Kommissionen en strategisk ramme for de vestlige Balkanlande, med landestrategidokumenter (LSDŐer) for hvert land for sig, og et regionalt strategidokument, udarbejdet under hensyntagen til alle de bistandsberettigede lande. 
In accordance with the CARDS regulation the Commission defined a strategy framework for the western Balkan countries, with country strategy papers (CSPs) for each individual country, and a regional strategy paper, drafted taking into account all the recipient countries.
Som kržvet i forordningen har Kommissionen opstillet to flerrige vejledende programmer (FVP), t for hvert land og t for det regionale mellemstatslige program for perioderne 2002-2004 og 2005-2006. 
As required by the regulatory framework the Commission has produced two multi-annual indicative programmes (MIPs), one for each country and one for the regional inter-state programme for the periods 2002 to 2004 and 2005 to 2006.
I 2004 Ń ved udgangen af den fżrste FVP-periode Ń godkendte Det Europžiske Rd europžiske partnerskabsdoku-menter, som omfattede Albanien, Bosnien-Hercegovina, Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien samt Serbien og Montenegro, herunder Kosovo (3), med det ml at intensivere stabiliserings-og associeringsprocessen (4). 
In 2004 Ń at the end of the first MIP period Ń European partnership documents were approved by the European Council covering Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Serbia and Montenegro including Kosovo (3), with the aim of intensifying the stabilisation and association process (4).
Der blev etableret partnerskaber for hvert enkelt land i regionen og fastlagt omrder for foranstaltninger og forpligtelser, som partnerlandene skal opfylde for at tilnžrme sig til Den Europžiske Union. 
The partnerships were drawn up for each country in the region and identified areas for action and obligations to be fulfilled by the partner countries in order to move them closer to the European Union.
EU-bistanden skulle rettes mod de prioriteter, der blev fastlagt i partnerskaberne. 
EU assistance was to be directed towards the priorities set out in the partnerships.
Revisionen afslżrede svagheder ved den strategiske vejledning i CARDS-planlžgningen. 
The audit revealed weaknesses in the strategic guidance of CARDS programming mechanisms.
Strategierne, sdan som de er beskrevet i landestrategidokumenterne (LSDŐerne), stemmer ganske vist formelt overens med Kommissionens LSD-retningslinjer, men de var for bredt formuleret til at vžre nyttige ved planlžgningen. 
Strategies as described in Country Strategy Papers (CSPs), although formally compliant with the Commission CSP guidelines, were too broadly formulated to be useful for the programming exercise.
LSDŐerne blev ikke ajourfżrt og tilpasset efter stżrre žndringer, som f.eks. 
CSPs were not updated to reflect major changes such as the CouncilŐs European partnership documents.
FVPŐerne indeholdt ikke nogen prioritering af sektorer og inden for sektorerne, som de skulle efter Kommissionens retningslinjer (5), og de opstillede heller ikke en tidsplan for de planlagte foranstaltninger. 
The MIPs did not prioritise between and within sectors as required by Commission guidelines (5) nor indicated timing for the foreseen actions.
Det fżrste europžiske partnerskab i 2004 gav Kommissionen mulighed for at mlrette sine aktioner mere pržcist i FVPŐerne for perioden 2005-2006 (6). 
The first European partnership in 2004 offered an opportunity for the Commission to focus its actions more precisely in the MIP covering 2005 to 2006 (6).
FVPŐerne for 2005-2006 indeholdt henvisninger til det europžiske partnerskabs prioriteter, men gav stadig ikke tilstržkkelig vejledning i, hvordan foranstaltningerne skulle udvžlges til finansiering. 
Even though the MIPs for 2005 to 2006 contained references to the European Partnership priorities, they still gave insufficient guidance for the selection of actions to be financed.

(5) Reference made to point 3.1.4 of the guidelines for implementation of the common framework for country strategy papers.
(6) Siden Kroatien blev kandidatland i 2004, har landet nydt fordel af fżr-tiltrždelsesinstrumenterne. 
(6) Since becoming a candidate country in 2004, Croatia has benefited from the pre-accession instruments.
Det var derfor unżdvendigt at revidere CARDS-FVP for 2005-2006. 
A revision of the CARDS MIP for 2005 to 2006 was therefore not necessary.

Desuden reviderede Retten en skżnsmžssigt udtaget stikprżve af CARDS-projekter (jf. bilaget) fra perioden 2002-2005. 
In addition a judgemental sample of CARDS projects (Annex) over the period 2002 to 2005 was examined.
Revisionen omfattede ogs de relevante evalueringsrapporter, der var udarbejdet p vegne af Kommissionen Ń herunder CARDS-programmets midtvejsevaluering (1), som blev afsluttet i juni 2004 Ń og Kommissionens opfżlgningsforanstaltninger. 
The audit also examined the relevant evaluation reports, prepared on behalf of the Commission Ń including the mid-term evaluation of the CARDS programme (1), which was completed in June 2004 Ń as well as the follow-up actions taken by the Commission.
Retten konkluderede, at de gav et tilstržkkeligt grundlag til, at den kunne bruge resultaterne som underbyggende bevismateriale til sine egne revisionsresultater (2). 
The Court concluded that they provided a sufficient basis to use the results as corroborative evidence for its own audit findings (2).
BEMŽRKNINGER Svagheder ved den strategiske vejledning i planlžgningsprocessen LSDŐer for bredt formuleret, FVPŐer uden klare prioriteter, mangel p effektiv bistandsvejledning 11. 
OBSERVATIONS Weaknesses in strategic guidance in the programming process CSPs too broadly formulated, MIPs without clear priorities, lack of effective guidance of aid 11.
CARDS-forordningen giver retsgrundlaget for de vigtigste strategidokumenter, der bruges i forbindelse med CARDS-bistand: Fžllesskabsbistanden er omfattet af en strategisk ramme og af en rlig og flerrig planlžgning, som vil blive forelagt det forvaltningsudvalg, der nedsžttes ved denne forordning, til udtalelse. 
The CARDS regulation provides the legal basis for the main strategy papers used for CARDS assistance: ÔThe Community assistance should be governed by a strategy framework and by annual and multi-annual programming, which will be put to the management committee set up by this regulation for an opinionŐ.
(1) I henhold til CARDS-forordningens artikel 13 Čforelžgger Kommissionen senest den 30. juni 2004 Rdet en evalueringsrapport ledsaget af relevante forslag vedrżrende denne forordnings fremtid og, om nżdvendigt, vedrżrende de žndringer, der skal foretages i denÇ. (2) De vigtigste konklusioner p evalueringen af bistanden til Balkanlan-dene efter CARDS-forordningen, forordning (EF) nr. 2666/2000 (kontrakt nr.: B7-6510/2002/005) var: a) CARDS-programmet var yderst relevant til sikring af finansiel og teknisk stżtte til stabiliserings-og associeringsprocessen. b) Det kan hžmme ejerskabet til programmet og gżre programmet mindre effektivt, at programmet og tilgangen er s centraliserede. c) Afbalanceringen af stżtten til institutionsopbygning og til udvik-lingsinvestering var en nżgleudfordring. d) Programmets regionale dimension var svag. 
(1) Article 13 of the CARDS Regulation established that Ônot later than 30 June 2004, the Commission shall submit to the Council an evaluation report, together with proposals for the future of this Regulation and for any amendments to be made to it.Ő (2) The main conclusions of the evaluation of the assistance to Balkan countries under CARDS Regulation (EC) No 2666/2000 (contract No B7-6510/2002/005) were: (a) the CARDS programme was highly relevant for ensuring financial and technical support to the Stabilisation and Association process; (b) the centralised nature and approach might become an obstacle to the programme ownership and effectiveness; (c) balancing support for institution building and development investment was a key challenge; (d) the regional dimension of the programme was weak.

Som fastsat i CARDS-forordningen skulle CARDS-Udvalget (1) afgive udtalelse om retningslinjerne for CARDS-planlžgningen, de flerrige vejledende programmer og de rlige programmer, med henblik p en styrkelse af den strategiske vejledning under planlžgningen. 
As provided in the CARDS Regulation the CARDS Management Committee (1) was required to give its opinion on the CARDS programming guidelines, the Multi-annual Indicative Programmes and the Annual Programmes, with the intention of enhancing strategic guidance in the programming process.
I virkeligheden tydede intet p, at CARDS-Udvalgets arbejde bidrog til at hżjne kvaliteten af de foreslede tekster. 
In reality no evidence was found that the CommitteeŐs work contributed to improving the quality of the proposed documents.
I de fleste tilfžlde fandtes der ingen detaljerede sektorielle analyser foretaget af Kommissionen og/eller nationale strategier for modtagerlandene, eller de blev foretaget/udfžrdiget for sent til at styrke den strategiske vejledning. 
Detailed sectoral analyses by the Commission and/or recipient country national strategies mostly did not exist or were produced too late to enhance the strategic guidance.
Derfor blev projekterne ikke udvalgt p grundlag af objektive kriterier, men i visse tilfžlde ud fra stżttemodtagernes ad hoc-anmodning. 
As a result, projects were not selected on the basis of objective criteria and, in certain cases, they were selected in response to the beneficiariesŐ ad hoc request.
Selv om identificeringsprocessen var kompleks, omfattede den ikke en klar metodik til optimering af projektudvžlgel-sen. 
Although the identification process was complex, it did not involve a clear methodology for optimising project selection.
Sledes blev projekterne udvalgt uden nogen forudgende cost-benefit-analyse (2) eller anden komparativ analyse af mulige alternativer. 
For instance, there was no cost-benefit analysis (2) or other comparative analysis of possible alternative projects before selecting the projects.
Nogle projekter var simpelthen fortsžttelse af tidligere stżtte. 
Some projects were simply continuations of earlier support.
Der var ingen retningslinjer for, hvordan det skulle afgżres, hvilken intervention der ville stżtte stabiliserings-og associeringsprocessen bedst. 
There were no guidelines to help decide which intervention would best support the stabilisation and association process.
2: Europa-Kommissionens bistandsmission p politiomrdet til Albanien I projektplanen for sektoren retlige og indre anliggender i Albanien for planlžgningsret 2002 var det fastsat, at komponenten politi og offentlig orden skulle bidrage til oprettelse af en retsstat og til etablering af et velfungerende politi, der kunne bidrage til demokratisk stabilitet. 
Case 2: The European Commission Police Assistance mission in Albania The project fiche of the Justice and Home Affairs sector in Albania for the programming year 2002 envisaged for the Police and Public Order component Ôto contribute to the establishment of rule of law and to the establishment of a functioning police force able to contribute to democratic stabilityŐ.
Det hed, at projektet ville blive gennemfżrt gennem stżtte til Europa-Kommissionens bistandsmission p politiomrdet (ECPA), uddannelse og investeringsstżtte i tilknytning hertil. 
It established the following: ÔThe project will be executed through supporting the EC Police Assistance Mission (ECPA), training and related investment supportŐ.
Af de 8 millioner euro, der var afsat til komponenten politi og offentlig orden, skulle efter planerne 4 millioner euro bruges til institutionsopbyg-ningsstżtte (finansiering af ECPA-missionen), 2,5 millioner euro til uddannelses-og stżttekomponenten og 1,5 millioner euro til inve-steringskomponenten. 
Out of the 8 million euro allocated to the Police and Public order component, 4 million euro were planned for institution building support (financing ECPA mission), 2,5 million euro for training and support component and 1,5 million euro for the investment component. In reality the project fiche was completely disregarded.
Ikke n euro blev brugt til finansiering af ECPA-missionen. 
Not one euro was spent in order to finance the ECPA mission.
4,7 millioner euro blev brugt til et datakommunikationsnetvžrk, 1,9 millioner euro til strżmforsyningsudstyr, og 1 million euro til et tilskud til De Forenede Nationer til stżtte for programmet for reform af sikkerhedssektoren. 
4,7 million euro were spent on a Data Communication Network, 1,9 million euro were spent on the power supply equipment and 1 million euro were spent on a grant to the United Nations in order to support the Security Sector Reform programme.
Omlžgning af bistanden fra investeringsstżtte til institutionsopbygning 21. 
Redirecting assistance from investment support to institution building 21.
Eftersom modtagerlandene var i fžrd med at komme p fode igen efter krigen, fokuserede CARDS-programmet i de fżrste r mere p genopbygning (via investeringsprojekter) end p institutionsopbygning. 
Because the recipient countries were recovering from war the early years of the CARDS programme focused more on reconstruction (through investment projects) than institution building.
