Kommissionens begrænsede overvågning af implementeringen af netværket for social beskyttelse og PFM-handlingsplanen begrænser reelt mulighederne for en bred dialog. Det betyder, at utilstrækkelige resultater ikke opdages tidligt nok, til at der i rette tid kan reageres gennem dialog. Kommissionen bad ikke regeringen om forklaringer og rejste heller ikke tvivl om statistikkernes pålidelighed, når indikatormål ikke blev opfyldt eller blev opfyldt med en meget større margin, end det normalt kunne forventes. 
This means that inadequate performance is not detected early enough to allow a timely response through dialogue. when indicators were not achieved or when they were met with a much larger margin than would normally be expected, the Commission did not seek explanations from the government, nor did it question the reliability of the statistics. special report no 11/2010 – The Commission’s management of general budget support in aCp, latin american and asian countries
En vigtig årsag til, at Kommissionen ikke fuldt ud har udnyttet de dialogmuligheder, som GBS giver, er, at mange af Kommissionens delegationer ikke har tilstrækkelig ekspertise på de prioriterede områder, som GBS-programmernes mål dækker. I årsberetningen for 2007 om EUF (punkt 33) anfører Retten, at »den stigende budgetstøtte under EUF [skaber] behov for specifikke færdigheder og viden, og Retten noterer, at EuropeAids interne revisionsfunktion (IAC) har anbefalet, at der udvikles en politik for menneskelige ressourcer på dette område, som skal omfatte mål for, hvor mange ansatte der skal arbejde med budgetstøtte, og hvilke kvalifikationer og hvilken viden de skal have«. 
74. a key factor affecting the quality of dialogue is the capacity of the Commission staff involved. an important reason for the Commission not having made full use of the opportunities for dialogue provided by gbs has been insufficient expertise in many Commission delegations in the priority areas covered by the gbs programme objectives. in its 2007 annual report on the edfs (paragraph 33), the Court indicated that ‘the increase of budget support ... creates the need for specific skills and knowledge, and the Court notes that europeaid’s internal audit Capability (iaC) has recommended that a human resources policy is developed to incorporate objectives on numbers, skills and knowledge of budget support staff’.
75. Kommissionen har generelt givet PFM-dialogen høj prioritet, men det har været svært at rekruttere PFM-specialister, fordi der er forholdsvis begrænset ekspertise til rådighed på dette område. 
75. while the Commission has generally made pfm dialogue a priority, it has been difficult to recruit pfm specialists because of the relatively limited expertise available in this area.
Kommissionen har forsøgt at afhjælpe dette problem ved at udvikle adskillige PFM-relaterede kurser. Generelt har det haft lavere prioritet at sørge for tilstrækkeligt personale til dialogen med sundheds-og uddannelsessektoren, selv om Kommissionen systematisk fastsætter mål for disse to områder i sine GBS-programmer41. 
The Commission has made efforts to overcome this problem by developing several pfm-related training courses. a lower priority tended to be given to ensuring there was adequate staffing to contribute to health and education sector dialogue despite the Commission systematically including objectives for these two areas in its gbs programmes41.
Delegationen i Benin havde således PFM-specialister, men ingen medarbejdere med speciale i sundhed og uddannelse, hvilket betød, at den ikke deltog i arbejdsgrupperne vedrørende sundhed og uddannelse42, og at den kun i begrænset omfang kan deltage i den fælles årlige gennemgang43. 
Thus the delegation in benin did have pfm specialists but had no staff specialised in health and education which meant it did not attend the health and education working groups42 and can only to a limited extent participate in the joint annual reviews43.
Kommissionens breve til regeringerne om, hvor store beløb der vil blive udbetalt fra de variable trancher, bruges som et led i dialogen. 
The letters sent by the Commission to governments to inform them what amount from the variable tranches is to be disbursed are used as part of the dialogue.
I disse breve giver Kommissionen relevante meddelelser om problematiske forhold med hensyn til GBS-programmets fortsatte støtteberettigelse, om gennemførelsen af GBS-programmet og om regeringens resultater på de områder, som GBS-programmet har fokus på. I nogle lande blev denne mulighed imidlertid slet ikke brugt (f.eks. i Paraguay) eller kun brugt delvis (f.eks. i Benin). 
The Commission includes in these letters relevant messages on issues of concern regarding the continued eligibility of the gbs programme, the implementation of the gbs programme and the performance of the government in the areas focused upon by the gbs programme. in some countries, however, this opportunity was not used at all (e.g. paraguay) or only partially (e.g. benin).

77. Trods vigtigheden af dialog er Kommissionens interne rapportering om den dialog, der specifikt er foregået i forbindelse med dens GBS-programmer, begrænset44. 
77. despite the importance of dialogue, the Commission’s internal reporting on dialogue undertaken specifically in the context of its gbs programmes is limited44.
Kommissionens interne ledelsesrapportering fra delegationerne til EuropeAids hovedkvarter er hovedsagelig begrænset til generelle kommentarer om den politiske dialog vedrørende det overordnede samarbejdsprogram. 
The Commission’s internal management reporting from delegations to europeaid’s headquarters is mainly limited to general comments on the state of political dialogue concerning the overall cooperation programme.
Denne mangel på oplysninger og manglen på klare mål for Kommissionens dialog om GBS (jf. punkt 71) gør det svært for Kommissionen at vurdere og dokumentere, i hvilket omfang dialogen effektivt har bidraget til opfyldelsen af GBS-programmets mål. KOMMISSIONENS RAPPORTERING TIL EKSTERNE INTERESSENTER HAR GENERELT MERE FOKUS PÅ DE POTENTIELLE FORDELE VED GBS END PÅ RESULTATER 78. 
This lack of information and the absence of clear objectives for the Commission’s dialogue on gbs (see paragraph 71), makes it difficult for the Commission to assess and demonstrate the extent to which dialogue has effectively contributed to gbs programme objectives. thE commIssIon’s rEPortInG to EXtErnal stakEholdErs tEnds to focus on thE PotEntIal BEnEfIts of GBs rathEr than on rEsults 78.
Kommissionens vigtigste dokument med rapportering om dens eksterne samarbejde, herunder GBS, er dens årsberetning om »Det Europæiske Fællesskabs udviklingspolitik og gennemførelsen af bistand til tredjelande«45. I 2008 udgav Kommissionen også to dokumenter om budgetstøtte, det ene kaldet »Budget Support - A Question of Mutual Trust« (budgetstøtte - et spørgsmål om gensidig tillid), det andet kaldet »Budget Support - The Effective Way To Finance Development?« (budgetstøtte - den effektive måde at finansiere udvikling på?) 
The main Commission documents for reporting on its external cooperation, including gbs, are its annual reports on the ‘european Community’s development and external assistance policies and their implementation’45. in 2008, the Commission also published two documents dedicated to the subject of budget support, one entitled ‘budget support — a question of mutual trust’ and the second ‘budget support — The effective way to finance development?’. in addition, it produces information notes for the edf and development cooperation instrument management committees composed of member state representatives46.
Retten undersøgte Kommissionens rapportering om GBS-programmerne for at vurdere, om rapporteringen var klar, udtømmende og nøjagtig, især hvad angår programmernes effektivitet, de potentielle fordele og risici samt gennemførel-sesproblemerne. 
The Court examined the Commission’s reporting on its gbs programmes to assess whether it reported in a clear, exhaustive and accurate way on them, in particular in relation to their effectiveness, potential benefits and risks, and implementation challenges.
Retten koncentrerede sig om Kommissionens årsberetninger for perioden 2001-2009. 
The Court focused on the Commission’s annual reports over the period 2001–09.
44 Når der ses bort fra kravet om, at der i betalingsdokumenter skal rapporteres om væsentlige forringelser af dialogen med de nationale myndigheder, indeholder Kommissionens interne retningslinjer ingen bestemmelser om specifik rapportering om den GBS-relaterede dialog. 
44 except for the requirement for payment files to report on important deteriorations in the dialogue with the national authorities, the Commission’s internal guidelines do not provide for any specific reporting on the gbs-related dialogue undertaken.
45 Herefter »årsberetningen«. 46 Kommissionen er endvidere involveret i andre rapporter, der ikke udarbejdes på dens ansvar alene, og som ikke nødvendigvis afspejler dens synspunkter. 
46 inaddition,theCommission is associated with other reports, which, however, are not produced under its sole responsibility and do not necessarily reflect its views.
Retten mente, at det ikke var passende at medtage dem i denne beretning. 
The Court considered that it was not appropriate to include them in its examination. examples of such reports are the joint annual reports it produces with each of the aCp partner countries as well as reports of evaluations of the european Commission’s cooperation with specific partner countries.

Årsberetningerne indeholder normalt oplysninger om Kommissionens procedurer for forvaltning af budgetstøtte og nye udviklinger med hensyn til instrumentets udformning. 
The annual reports regularly contain information describing the Commission’s procedures for managing budget support and new developments in the design of the instrument.
De giver også detaljerede oplysninger om de midler, der er afsat til budgetstøtte. Desuden beskriver de udførligt de potentielle fordele ved budgetstøtte. 
They also provide details of the funding committed under budget support. in addition, they give considerable coverage to the potential benefits of budget support.
82. Siden vedtagelsen i 2005 af Pariserklæringen om bistandseffektivitet har Kommissionen i sine årsberetninger fremhævet budgetstøttens rolle i forbindelse med øget »bistandseffek-tivitet«47. I årsberetningerne skelnes der imidlertid ikke klart mellem Pariserklæringens »bistandseffektivitet« - dvs. bedre levering af bistand opnået ved at følge erklæringens grundprincipper - og »bistandseffektivitet« forstået som bistandens endelige fattigdomsnedbringende effekt. 
82. following the 2005 paris declaration on aid effectiveness, the Commission’s annual reports have emphasised budget support’s role in increasing ‘aid effectiveness’47. however, the reports do not make a clear distinction between the ‘aid effectiveness’ targeted by the paris declaration — by which is meant improving delivery of aid by following the core principles of the paris declaration — and ‘aid effectiveness’ in terms of the ultimate impact of the assistance on reducing poverty. using budget support as a means to adhere more closely to the principles of the paris declaration is no guarantee that the aid has been effective in contributing to improving the lives of poor people.
47 Pariserklæringen beskriver foranstaltninger, der kan reformere de måder, som bistand ydes og forvaltes på, med det endelige formål at øge bistandens effekt. 
47 The paris declaration identifies actions to reform the ways aid is delivered and managed with the ultimate objective of increasing the impact of aid. it lays down five core principles which it considers should be followed in the management of aid if its impact is to be increased: ownership, alignment, harmonisation, managing for results, and mutual accountability. special report no 11/2010 – The Commission’s management of general budget support in aCp, latin american and asian countries

Årsberetningernes omtale af budgetstøttens faktiske resultater er væsentlig mindre omfattende end deres beskrivelse af dens potentielle fordele og øgede anvendelse. 
The annual reports’ coverage of the actual results of budget support is considerably less than their commentary on its potential benefits and increased usage.
Årsberetningernes mangel på oplysninger om budgetstøttens resultater står i modsætning til oplysningerne om andre bistandsformer, som Kommissionen henter fra det resultatorienterede overvågningssystem, som den har udviklet med henblik på gennemførelse af årlige projektvurderinger. 
The lack of information in the annual reports on the results of budget support contrasts with the information on other forms of aid which the Commission obtains from the ‘results-oriented monitoring system’ it has developed to carry out annual assessments of projects.
Kommissionen har ingen andre interne rapporteringsprocedurer for systematisk vurdering af GBS-programmernes resultater med hensyn til fattigdomsnedbringelse, som eventuelt kunne bruges i forbindelse med ekstern rapportering. 
The Commission has no other internal reporting procedures for systematically assessing the poverty reduction results of its gbs programmes which could then be used for external reporting purposes.
Der er ikke noget dokument til rapportering om fremskridtene med hensyn til opfyldelsen af målene om fattigdomsnedbringelse, der svarer til delegationernes årlige PFM-rapporter (jf. punkt 31). 
There is no equivalent to the delegation annual pfm reports (see paragraph 31) for reporting on progress in achieving objectives related to poverty reduction.
De halvårlige rapporter om forvaltning af bistanden til tredjelande (EAMR-rapporter), som delegationerne udarbejder til EuropeAid, har mere fokus på status for gennemførelsen end på resultaterne. 43 Særberetning nr. 11/2010 – Kommissionens forvaltning af generel budgetstøtte i AVS stater og lande i Latinamerika og Asien

Den mest udførlige feedback om resultaterne af GBS blev givet i 2007-årsberetningen. 
The most substantial feedback related to the results of gbs was given in the 2007 annual report.
Denne beretning indeholder en oversigt over resultaterne af den fælles evaluering af GBS, som blev foretaget i 2006, og som var den første større evaluering af GBS. Oversigten gengiver evalueringens vurdering, nemlig at GBS har haft en positiv effekt på politikken og PFM-pro-cesserne, men det bemærkes også, at de fleste virkninger af GBS-input indtil videre har haft mere at gøre med adgang til tjenester end med indkomstfattigdom og styrkelse af de fattige. 
This provided an overview of the findings of the 2006 joint evaluation of gbs, which was the first major evaluation of gbs carried out. however, while setting out the evaluation’s assessment that gbs had had a positive effect on policy and pfm processes, the annual report also noted that ‘most of the effects of gbs inputs so far have been on access to services, rather than income poverty and empowerment of the poor’. in its 2009 annual report, the Commission recognised the limitations of this evaluation which ‘fell short of evaluating results’.
86. Det er bekymrende, at der ikke findes en etableret en evalueringsmetode og dermed en mængde evalueringsarbejde, som dokumenterer, om - og under hvilke omstændigheder - budgetstøtte kan bidrage effektivt til at nedbringe fattigdom. 
86. it is of concern that there is no established evaluation methodology resulting in a body of evaluation work which provides evidence on whether, and in what circumstances, budget support can make an effective contribution to poverty reduction.
De vanskeligheder, der opstod ved 2006-evalueringen, skyldtes delvis den grundlæggende udfordring i forbindelse med evaluering af budgetstøttens effektivitet, nemlig fastlæggelsen af hvorvidt forbedringer i udviklingsresultaterne specifikt kan tilskrives budgetstøtten. 
The difficulties encountered by the 2006 evaluation were partly linked to the fundamental challenge in evaluating the effectiveness of budget support, which is how to attribute improvements in development outcomes specifically to budget support.
Problemet er både, at donorernes budgetstøtte indgår i det nationale budget og derfor ikke kan identificeres særskilt, og at de forbedrede resultater kan skyldes eksterne faktorer såvel som de regeringsprogrammer, budgetstøtten bidrager til. 
This is because donor budget support is merged with national budgets, and therefore cannot be separately identified, and because improved outcomes may be due to external factors as well as the government programmes to which budget support contributes.
87. Siden den fælles evaluering i 2006 har Kommissionen været i forreste linje i forbindelse med de donorbestræbelser, som Komitéen for Udviklingsbistand under Organisationen for Økonomisk Samarbejde og Udvikling og evalueringsnetværket har gjort sig for at udvikle en forbedret evalueringsmetode, der bedre skal kunne besvare spørgsmålet om budgetstøttens effekt. 
87. since the 2006 joint evaluation, the Commission has been at the forefront of donor efforts within the framework of the development assistance Committee of the organisation for economic Cooperation and development evaluation network to develop an improved evaluation methodology which is intended to better address the question of the impact of budget support. at the end of 2009 three pilot evaluations were launched at country level of which two were being led by the Commission.
Et vigtigt mellemliggende mål for GBS, som det også ville være nyttigt at få oplysninger om, er at bidrage til at forbedre forvaltningen af de offentlige finanser i partnerlandene. Sikring af, at PFM-systemerne effektivt overfører budgetressourcer til udgifter, der er til gavn for de fattige, er et vigtigt element i forbindelse med opfyldelsen af de overordnede mål for fattigdomsnedbringelse. Men selv om Kommissionen har udviklet et system, hvor delegationerne hvert år rapporterer internt om PFM-forhold, gives der i disse rapporter ingen vurdering af, om GBS-programmernes PFM-mål opfyldes. 
88. an important intermediate objective of gbs, on which it would also be useful to obtain information, is to contribute to improving public finance management in partner countries. ensuring that pfm systems effectively transfer budgetary resources for pro-poor expenditure is an essential part of achieving overall poverty reduction objectives. however, although the Commission has developed a system of annual internal reporting by delegations on pfm issues, these reports do not assess the achievement of the pfm objectives of gbs programmes.
Det betyder igen, at der næsten ikke foreligger nogen oplysninger, som kan bruges til ekstern rapportering om opfyldelsen af PFM-målene i forbindelse med GBS, og det er årsagen til, at også årsberetnin-gernes omtale af dette emne er begrænset. 
This means that there is again little information available for external reporting on the achievement of gbs pfm objectives, which explains why there is also limited coverage of this issue in the annual reports.
89. Især når forvaltningen af de offentlige finanser er svag, og der ofte er væsentlig korruption, er der i forbindelse med budgetstøtte en central risiko for, at modtagerlandets budget ikke anvendes til fattigdomsnedbringelse, sådan som det er hensigten. 
89. a central risk with budget support, particularly in a context of weak public finance management and often significant levels of corruption, is that the budget of the recipient country will not be used for the intended purpose of poverty reduction. however, the annual reports tend to give little attention to this issue. indeed the foreword to the 2009 annual report stated in reference to the largest beneficiaries of budget support that they had ‘demonstrated the reliability of their public finances’.
Igen har årsberetningerne mere fokus på budgetstøttens potentielle fordele med hensyn til udvikling af PFM-systemer end på risikoen for, at svage PFM-systemer fører til, at budgetstøtten ikke når sit mål om nedbringelse af fattigdommen. 
The annual reports again focus more on the potential benefits of budget support for developing pfm systems than on the risk that weak pfm systems will lead to budget support not achieving its poverty reduction-related objectives.
90. Ved behandlingen af PFM-forhold i forbindelse med budgetstøtte henviser Kommissionen i årsberetningerne ofte til udviklingen af PEFA-rammen som et diagnostisk redskab vedrørende PFM. Som allerede nævnt (jf. punkt 31) har PEFA-rammen ganske rigtigt den nyttige funktion, at den fremhæver de områder, hvor landene bør forbedre PFM, og måler disse forbedringer over tid. 
90. in addressing pfm issues in the context of budget support, the Commission’s annual report has made frequent reference to the development of the pefa framework as a diagnostic tool for pfm. as already noted (see paragraph 31), pefa indeed plays a useful role in highlighting areas where countries need to improve pfm, and measuring those improvements over time. however, a more balanced presentation of pefa’s role would also recognise its limitations and that it is not in itself a risk assessment tool.

Kommissionens årsberetninger berører heller ikke de væsentlige udfordringer, som er forbundet med dens forvaltning af GBS, og som Retten fremhæver i denne beretning, f.eks. vedrørende fordele og ulemper ved Kommissionens resultatbaserede betingelser, de ansattes evne til fuldt ud at udnytte de dialogmuligheder, som GBS giver, samt relevansen og effektiviteten af den faglige bistand, der er knyttet til GBS-programmerne. 
The Commission’s annual reports have also not addressed the key challenges it faces in its management of gbs, which are raised in this Court’s report such as the disadvantages as well as the advantages of the Commission’s results-based conditions, the capacity of its staff to make full use of the opportunities offered by gbs for dialogue, and the relevance and effectiveness of technical cooperation linked to gbs programmes.
