Retsgrundlaget var sledes fžrdigt den 29. november 2000 (1). 
Thus, the legal basis was finalised on 29 November 2000 (1).
Ved udgangen af marts 2001 havde alle landene undertegnet aftalerne. 
By the end of March 2001, all countries had signed the agreements.
(1) En nžrmere beskrivelse gives i Rettens rsberetning for regnskabsret 2000, punkt 6.41-6.43. 
(1) Further details are given in the CourtŐs Annual Report concerning the financial year 2000, paragraphs 6.41 to 6.43.
Kommissionen brugte ikke tiden fra marts 1998, da den fremsatte forslag om Sapard-forordningen(2), og frem til juni 1999, da Rdet vedtog forordningen, til at forberede gennemfżrelsen yderligere. 
The Commission did not use the time available in the period between March 1998, when it proposed the Sapard Regulation (2), and June 1999, when it was adopted by the Council, to make further implementation preparations.
Denne periode p 15 mneder kunne have vžret brugt til at udarbejde pržcise principper og gennemfżrelsesbestemmelser, som kunne have gjort politikken klarere og fremskyndet gennemfżrelsen. 
This 15-month period could have been used to prepare detailed principles and rules which would have clarified the policy and accelerated implementation.
Retsgrundlaget var fžrdigt i november 2000, og derefter afhang igangsžtningen af Sapard af, hvor lang tid det tog ansżgerlandene at oprette systemerne. 
After completion of the legal framework in November 2000, the start of Sapard depended on the time needed to set up the systems by the Sapard countries.
Nogle lande var hurtige: Kommissionen godkendte systemerne vedrżrende nogle af foranstaltningerne i Bulgarien i maj 2001. 
Some countries were quick: the Commission approved the systems for some of the measures in Bulgaria in May 2001.
Andre lande var langsommere. Ungarn begyndte fżrst at gennemfżre nogle af Sapard-foranstaltningerne den 27. november 2002. og p grund af forsinkelser med gennemfżrelsen i Sapard-landene 16. 
Hungary did not start the implementation of some of the Sapard measures until 27 November 2002. and because of delays in implementation by the Sapard countries 16.
Siden Sapard begyndte i de berżrte lande, har besvžrlige administrative procedurer, der er strengere end de procedurer, der (2) Kommissionens forslag til Rdets forordning (KOM(1998) 153 endelig udg. af 19.3.1998). 
Since the start of Sapard in the countries concerned, heavy administrative procedures, stricter than required by the (2) Proposal from the Commission for a Council Regulation (COM(98) 153 final, 19 March 1998).
30.11.2004 DA Den Europžiske Unions Tidende C 295/7 er fastsat i Sapard-bestemmelserne, hindret en effektiv gennemfżrelse af programmet. 
30.11.2004 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 295/7 Sapard rules, have hampered an efficient implementation of the programme.
I det fżlgende gives nogle eksempler p de gennemfżrelsesproblemer, som Retten har konstateret (jf. punkt 91 ff.). 
Below are some examples of the implementation problems found by the Court (see also paragraph 91 et seq).
Rumžnien var det nžstsidste Sapard-land, der fik dele af sine systemer godkendt. I august 2002 var landet imidlertid ikke godt nok forberedt p at anvende programmet. 
Romania was the last-but-one Sapard country to have parts of its systems approved, but it was not well-prepared for applying the programme in August 2002.
Det tog op til syv en halv mned fra ansżgningsskemaet var modtaget, og til det blev godkendt. 
The time between receiving the application form and approving it took up to seven-and-a-half months.
Siden april 2003 er forholdene blevet bedre, fordi de rumžnske myndigheder har žndret visse procedurer og żget antallet af ansatte, der beskžftiger sig med disse ansżgninger. 
Since April 2003 the situation has improved because the Romanian authorities have changed certain procedures and increased the number of staff available to deal with these applications.
Trods disse forsinkelser var det alligevel muligt for de rumžnske myndigheder at f brugt alle de midler, der var afsat til infrastrukturer i landdistrikterne i hele syvrsperioden (2000-2006), fordi de havde modtaget et stort antal ansżgninger. 
Despite these delays, the large number of applications made it possible for the Romanian authorities to use all funds planned for rural infrastructure for the whole seven-year period (2000-2006).
Polen har ogs modtaget et stort antal ansżgninger vedrżrende denne projekttype. 
Poland also received a large number of applications for this type of project.
Imidlertid henstod mere end 250 millioner euro uudnyttet i mere end et r af administrative grunde, der ikke havde noget med Sapard-bestemmelserne at gżre (1). 
However, for administrative reasons not required by the Sapard rules, more than 250 million euro which were available were not used for more than one year (1).
Det hindrede en effektiv gennemfżrelse af Sapard. 
This hampered an efficient implementation of Sapard.
I Litauen gr der i gennemsnit 4,5 mneder, fra projektansżgningen forelžgges, og til kontrakten underskrives. 
In Lithuania, the average time between submission of the project application and signature of the contract is 4,5 months.
Personalemangel i den centrale enhed, der evaluerer alle projektansżgnin-ger, er en af de vžsentligste rsager til, at godkendelsen af ansżgningerne er blevet forsinket. 
One of the main reasons for the delays in approving the applications is the lack of staff in the key unit which evaluates all project applications.
I Bulgarien bliver alle kontroller, der er foretaget p lokalt niveau, udfżrt igen af Sapard-kontoret p centralt niveau. 
In Bulgaria, all checks made at local level are reperformed by the Sapard Agency at central level.
Denne form for dobbeltkontrol er nżdvendig i den periode, hvor systemerne oprettes, men man bżr overveje, om der ogs er behov for den bagefter. 
Such double checks are necessary when systems are set up, but the need for them should be kept under review.
Som det vil fremg af punkt 35, har Kommissionen ikke gjort et aktivt forsżg p at finde frem til gennemfżrelsesproblemer som dem, der beskrives ovenfor. 
As will be seen in paragraph 35, the Commission has not looked actively for implementation problems such as the ones described above.
Kommissionen har ganske vist i nogle tilfžlde taget initiativ til at drżfte problemet med det pgžldende land, men det er ikke blevet gjort systematisk. 
Although in some cases the Commission has taken action by discussing the issue with the country concerned, this was not done systematically.
Centrale foranstaltninger i forbindelse med oprettelsen af systemerne er ikke blevet analyseret, s erfaringerne herfra kunne udnyttes 22. 
Key steps have not been analysed so that lessons can be learned 22.
Kommissionen analyserede ikke de afgżrende foranstaltninger, der forsinkede Sapard-landenes indfżrelse af systemerne. 
The Commission did not analyse the critical steps which delayed the setting up of the systems by the Sapard countries.
Det ville imidlertid have vžret god forvaltningsskik. 
This would have been good management practice.
En sdan analyse burde omfatte Kommissionens egen rolle, og den ville have (1) rsagen til disse forsinkelser er, at Polen fordeler de rlige budgetter p specifikke foranstaltninger, og for de stżrste foranstaltningers vedkommende ogs p specifikke regioner. 
Such an analysis should include its own role and would have been useful, (1) The reason for the delays is the following. Poland splits annual budgets into specific measures and, for the largest measures, to specific regions.
Denne praksis med at knytte projekterne til de rlige tildelinger til specifikke regioner blokerede for udnyttelsen af andre disponible budgetter. 
This practice of linking projects to specific regional, annual allocations blocked the use of other available budgets.
Bevillingen til regionerne med henblik p udvikling af infrastrukturer i landdistrikter kržver en beslutning fra landbrugsministeriet, og for en stor del af midlerne blev denne beslutning fżrst truffet den 22. september 2003. vžret nyttig, fordi Sapard-landene kunne have taget succesfakto-rerne i betragtning, da de oprettede systemer til forvaltning af EU-midler. 
For rural development infrastructure, the allocation to the regions requires a decision by the Ministry of Agriculture, which was, for a large part of the funds, not done until 22 September 2003. because Sapard countries could have taken into account success factors when setting up systems for the management of EU funds.
Efterfżlgende medtog Kommissionen heller ikke en sdan analyse i midtvejsevalueringen af programmet i hvert enkelt Sapard-land. 
Later, the Commission also did not include such an analysis in the mid-term evaluation of the programme in each Sapard country.
Hvis den havde medtaget en sdan analyse, ville den have kunnet finde frem til succesfaktorer og problemer i forbindelse med oprettelsen af systemerne, hvilket kunne vžre en hjžlp ved igangsžtningen af lignende programmer i fremtiden. 
By including this element, success factors and constraints in putting in place the systems could have been identified, thereby assisting similar exercises in the future.
Der blev ikke foretaget ekstern evaluering for at sikre, at erfaringerne fra Sapard kunne anvendes senere. og budgetterne er systematisk blevet underudnyttet 24. 
An external evaluation was not launched to ensure that the experience gained from Sapard could be used in the future. and budgets were systematically under-utilised 24.
Kommissionen kunne ikke beregne nżjagtige overslag over de belżb i budgetterne for de fżrste r, der skulle anvendes til betalinger. 
The Commission could not make accurate estimates of the amounts included for payments in the budgets for the first three years.
Ved udgangen af 2002 stillede den 850,8 millioner euro til rdighed til betalinger, heraf blev kun 154,4 millioner euro (18 %) udnyttet, og resten blev annulleret (2). 
Up to the end of 2002, it made 850,8 million euro available for payments, of which only 154,4 million euro (18 %) were used, while the other part was cancelled (2).
Kommissionen bemžrkede, at betalingsoverslagene var upržcise, fordi de afhang af faktorer, der var uden for dens kontrol, og fordi man ikke havde tidligere erfaringer med decentral forvaltning af bistand til tredjelande. 
The Commission noted that the payment estimates were uncertain because they depended on factors which were out of its control and there was no previous experience in managing external aid in a decentralised manner.
Derfor kunne belżbene ikke baseres p tilstržkkelig udfżrlig dokumentation og detaljerede beregninger. 
Thus, the amounts could not be based on sufficiently detailed documentation and calculations.
Til gengžld blev der fremsat andre argumenter for at begrunde belżbene, som f.eks. at det var nżdvendigt at give positive signaler om, at Kommissionen ikke var i tvivl om, at de berżrte lande ville vžre i stand til at gennemfżre Sapard. 
Instead, other arguments were provided to justify the amounts, such as the need to give a positive signal that the Commission was confident that the countries concerned would be able to implement Sapard.
Det er nżdvendigt at adskille politisk vilje og żkonomiske forhold, men som fżlge af at der blev lagt unżdig stor vžgt p den politiske vilje, budgetterede Kommissionen systematisk med for store belżb til betalinger. 
There is a need to separate political will and economic reality but, as a consequence of an undue emphasis on the former, the Commission systematically overestimated the amounts for payments in the budget.
DECENTRAL IMPLEMENTERING var Kommissionens valg 26. 
DECENTRALISED IMPLEMENTATION was a choice by the Commission 26.
Indtil juni 1999 skulle Kommissionen p forhnd godkende projektudvžlgelse, udbud og kontraktindgelse i forbindelse med bistand til tredjelande. 
Until June 1999, external aid required ex ante approval by the Commission for project selection, tendering and contracting.
I retsgrundlaget for Sapard blev der for fżrste gang givet mulighed for at fravige kravet om for-hndsgodkendelse i forbindelse med bistand til tredjelande. 
The legal basis for Sapard made it possible, for the first time, that such ex ante approvals for external aid could be waived.
Rdet havde ikke fastsat, at der skulle anvendes et system med decentral forvaltning, men det var det, Kommissionen valgte. 
The Council did not stipulate that such a system of decentralised management must be used, but the Commission opted for this.
(2) Belżbet p 154,4 millioner euro kan ikke sammenlignes med tallene i figuren, da der er medtaget 139,7 millioner euro i forskud fra Kommissionen til ansżgerlandene og 0,1 million euro til seminarer. 
The (2) The amount of 154,4 million euro cannot be compared with the diagram because it includes 139,7 million euro of advance payments made by the Commission to applicant countries and 0,1 million euro for seminars.
Disse belżb er ikke med i figuren, fordi de ikke er udbetalt til de endelige modtagere. 
These amounts are not shown in the diagram because they are not paid to final beneficiaries.
Disse betalinger (som Retten har korrigeret for tidsbestemte afvigelser, fordi Kommissionen bogfżrer betalingerne efter kasseregnskabsprincippet) svarer til afsnit ČCÇ i figuren. 
These latter payments (adjusted by the Court for timing differences because the Commission books the payments on a cash basis) are shown as section ÔCŐ in Figure 1.
C 295/8 DA Den Europžiske Unions Tidende 30.11.2004 Kommissionens valg af decentral implementering var korrekt i betragtning af det store antal projekter, som man kunne forvente skulle finansieres. 
C 295/8 EN Official Journal of the European Union 30.11.2004 CommissionŐs option for decentralised implementation was correct given the likely large numbers of projects to be financed.
Eftersom Kommissionen ikke havde fastlagt de metoder, der skulle anvendes til forvaltning af programmet, hverken som led i forslaget til Sapard-forordningen fra marts 1998 eller i den efterfżlgende periode, var den nżdt til at gżre det, efter at Rdet havde vedtaget forordningen i juni 1999. 
Since the Commission had not set out the methods for managing the programme either as part of its proposal for the Sapard Regulation in March 1998, or during the subsequent period, it needed to do this after the adoption of the Regulation in June 1999 by the Council.
I januar 2000 vedtog Kommissionen en meddelelse om, at Sapard skulle forvaltes decentralt. 
In January 2000, the Commission adopted a communication indicating that Sapard should be managed decentrally.
Kommissionen gav fżlgende forklaring p, at den havde valgt decentral forvaltning: Ń den havde ikke de tekniske og menneskelige ressourcer, som skulle til for at forvalte det store antal sm projekter, man forventede Ń den żnskede at forberede Sapard-landene p at forvalte stżtten til udvikling af landbruget og landdistrikterne efter tiltrždelsen. men Kommissionen var ikke forberedt godt nok, og den manglende forberedelse medfżrte sammen med den stramme tidsramme vanskeligheder med decentraliseringen 28. 
The reasons given by the Commission as to why it decided upon decentralised implementation were: Ń that it did not have the necessary technical and human resources to manage the expected large number of small projects, Ń to prepare the Sapard countries for management of agricultural and rural development spending after accession. but the lack of preparation by the Commission and the tight time frame led to difficulties with decentralisation 28.
P Det Europžiske Rds mżde i Berlin i marts 1999 gik man ud fra, at der ville kunne optages seks nye medlemsstater i 2002 eller senere, og heraf var de fem stżtteberettigede under Sapard (1). 
The Berlin European Council of March 1999 assumed that the accession of six new Member States, five of which were eligible for Sapard, might take place from 2002 onwards (1).
Da dette betżd, at Sapard-programmet kun ville vžre operationelt i to r for disse fem lande, var det nżdvendigt at f det i gang s hurtigt som muligt, for at det kunne give resultater. 
Since this meant for those five countries that Sapard would only be operational for two years, it was necessary to start the Sapard programme as soon as possible in order to have effect.
Dernžst skulle Sapard-landene oprette deres egne systemer, hvilket de ikke havde nogen forudgende erfaring med. 
Then the Sapard countries needed to set up their systems, for which they had no previous experience.
Af de fem lande var det kun Estland (i juni 2001) og Slovenien (i november 2001), der fik deres systemer godkendt af Kommissionen inden 2002. 
Of the five countries, only Estonia (in June 2001) and Slovenia (in November 2001) had their systems approved by the Commission before 2002.
At det tog lžngere tid, medfżrte dog ikke, at Sapards gennemfżrelsesperiode blev kortere, da det p Det Europžiske Rds mżde i Gżteborg i juni 2001 var blevet besluttet, at tiltrždelsen fżrst skulle finde sted i maj 2004, da udvidelsesforhandlingerne trak i langdrag. og Kommissionens forvaltning var ikke altid tilpasset behovene i Sapard-landene 31. 
The time taken did not result in a shortening of the implementation period for Sapard because the Gothenburg European Council of June 2001 set May 2004 as the accession date, due to protracted enlargement negotiations. and the CommissionŐs management was not always suited to Sapard countriesŐ needs 31.
I analogi med de principper, der gžlder for EU-programmer i medlemsstaterne, har Sapard-landene det fulde ansvar for forvaltningen af Sapard. 
In line with the principles of EU programmes in the Member States, the Sapard countries have full responsibility for the management of Sapard.
I de internationale aftaler, som de har undertegnet med Kommissionen, tildeles Sapard-landene ansvaret for den daglige forvaltning, og navnlig for at konstatere og afhjžlpe problemer med gennemfżrelsen. 
The international agreements, signed between them and the Commission, assign the responsibility for day-to-day management, in particular identifying and addressing implementation problems, to the Sapard countries.
(1) Oprindeligt var det planlagt, at seks lande skulle tiltržde Unionen: Estland, Polen, Slovenien, Den Tjekkiske Republik, Ungarn (Sapard) og Cypern (der ikke er omfattet af Sapard). 
(1) Initially, accession was foreseen for six countries: Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia (Sapard) and Cyprus (non-Sapard).
Det er Kommissionens opfattelse, at dens ansvar i forbindelse med decentral forvaltning er at overvge implementeringen af Sapard. 
In the CommissionŐs view, its responsibility under a system of decentralised management is to monitor the implementation of Sapard.
Det foregr formelt gennem drżftelser om programmerne, analyse af de rlige gennemfżrelsesrapporter, som Sapard-landene indsender, og ved at Kommissionen deltager som rdgiver i de nationale overvgningsudvalg, der tržder sammen to gange rligt (2). 
The formal tools for this are through the negotiation of the programmes, analysis of annual implementation reports provided by the Sapard countries and the participation, in an advisory capacity, in each national Monitoring Committee, which meet twice a year (2).
Kommissionen udpegede kun f ansatte til at udfżre dette arbejde. 
The Commission assigned few staff to do this.
I gennemsnit blev der afsat mindre end en tjenestemand p fuld tid til forvaltningen af et Sapard-lands program (3). 
On average less than the time of one official was allocated for managing the programme of a Sapard country (3).
En enkelt tjenestemand var f.eks. ansvarlig for at overvge gennemfżrelsen af bde Rumžniens og Bulgariens programmer, i alt 1 442 millioner euro i fžllesskabsstżtte. 
For instance, a single official was responsible for overseeing the implementation of both the Romanian and the Bulgarian programmes amounting to 1 442 million euro of Community assistance.
Kommissionens forvaltning af programmet kan illustreres af det fżlgende. 
The CommissionŐs approach for managing the programme can be illustrated by the following.
Som led i dechargeproceduren for 2001 kritiserede Europa-Parlamentet Kommissionen for ikke at have udnyttet en tilstržkkelig stor del af Sapard-budgettet, fordi udbetalingerne til de endelige modtagere var meget lave. 
As part of the 2001 discharge, the European Parliament criticised the Commission for under-implementation of the Sapard budget, because payments to final beneficiaries were very low.
Kommissionen svarede, at udbetalingerne fortrinsvis afhžnger af, hvor hurtigt modtagerne pdrager sig udgifter, og at det var uden for Kommissionens kontrol. 
The Commission replied that expenditure is essentially a function of how rapidly beneficiaries incur expenditure, which the Commission could not control.
Kommissionen forpligtede sig til at fremskynde gennemfżrelsen, og det resulterede hovedsagelig i, at Kommissionen sendte breve til modtagerlandene, hvori den spurgte, hvad den kunne gżre (4). 
The Commission gave a commitment to speed up implementation, of which the main result was that letters were sent to beneficiary countries asking them what the Commission could do (4).
Ved Rettens revision konstateredes der flere omrder, hvor der blev anvendt forskellig praksis i Sapard-landene, nogle med godt resultat, og andre der virkede mod hensigten (jf. punkt 21, 39, 80, 90, 95, 103 og 109). 
The CourtŐs audit identified several areas where different practices are applied in the Sapard countries, some with good results but others which are counter-productive (see paragraphs 21, 39, 80, 90, 95, 103 and 109).
Kommissionen har hjulpet ved at afholde seminarer og ved sin daglige kontakt til Sapard-landene, men det er ingen garanti for, at gennemfżrelsesproblemer identificeres aktivt og systematisk, og at der tržffes foranstaltninger til at sikre, at der anvendes Čbest practiceÇ i alle ti lande (jf. ogs punkt 85-86). 
The Commission has helped by the organisation of seminars and its daily contacts with the Sapard countries, but this does not guarantee that implementation problems are actively and systematically identified and that action is taken in order to ensure that the best practices are implemented in all 10 countries (see also paragraphs 85 and 86).
DE VIGTIGSTE RESULTATER AF SAPARD Begržnset effekt i otte af ti lande 36. 
MAIN RESULTS OF SAPARD Limited impact in 8 out of 10 countries 36.
Sapard-forordningen fastsatte rammerne for fžllesskabsstżtten i fżrtiltrždelsesperioden. 
The Sapard Regulation established the framework for Community support for the pre-accession period.
I otte af de ti modtagerlande gr denne periode fra 1. januar 2000 til 1. maj 2004. 
For 8 out of 10 of the beneficiary countries, this period is from 1 January 2000 until 1 May 2004.
31. december 2003 var der i alt blevet udbetalt 323 millioner euro (14,8 % (2) De andre officielle kilder til information fr Kommissionen fżrst adgang til p senere stadier: resultaterne af midtvejsevalueringen (senest den 31. december 2003) og den endelige evaluering (senest den 31. december 2006). 
The expenditure paid to final beneficiaries up to 31 December 2003 was 323 million euro (2) The other official ways to be informed reach the Commission at later stages: results of mid-term evaluation (by 31 December 2003) and final evaluation (by 31 December 2006).
(3) De ansatte i Kommissionen, der foretager revision, anses ikke for at vžre en del af den egentlige forvaltning, jf. punkt 58. 
(3) Commission staff involvement in audits is not considered as management in a strict sense and is discussed in paragraph 58.
(4) Kommissionen kunne ikke kontrollere, hvor hurtigt der blev indget forpligtelser og effektueret betalinger, eftersom den ikke żnskede at žndre noget ved den fuldstžndige decentralisering af Sapard-forvaltningen, og den foreslog ingen žndringer som f.eks. en supplerende foranstaltning vedrżrende ln eller garantier. 
(4) TheCommissioncouldnotcontroltherateofcommitmentsandpay-ments because it did not want to change the fully decentralised management framework of Sapard and did not propose changes such as an additional measure for credit or guarantees.
