Agrees with the Court of Auditors that the Commission has introduced effective new front-office IT tools which have substantially improved the interaction with beneficiaries, led to less administrative burden for both sides and helped to avoid the risk of potential duplication of funding; is concerned, however, that a substantial challenge remains, i.e. the optimisation of back-office IT tools which ensures a further reduction of the administrative burden and to guarantee an effective interlink between the modules used by the different DGs; embraces the work on the common back-office IT tool (SYGMA) and the common electronic workflow tool (Compass), which has started well in advance and should ensure that these will be available for Horizon 2020;
Kontrollikoja eriaruanne nr 7/2013 „Kas Globaliseerumisega Kohanemise Euroopa Fond on andnud koondatud töötajate tööturule naasmiseks ELi lisaväärtust?”
Financial control
toonitab, et peab lisaks seaduslikkuse ja regulaarsuse kontrollile tähtsaks tulemusauditeid, ning tervitab seega kontrollikoja eriaruannet, milles sätestatakse tulemuste positiivsed ja negatiivsed aspektid, esitades sel viisil tasakaalustatud üldseisukoha;
Emphasises the necessity to strike the right balance between less administrative burden and effective financial control; notes that due to the specifics of the research field, a risk-tolerant and science-based approach should be encouraged so as to achieve research excellence and better impact of projects; believes that this approach will allow the Commission to uphold the balance between trust and control;
mõistab ometi, et tulemusi saab hinnata ainult siis, kui eesmärgid ja näitajad on välja valitud alusmääruses; palub seetõttu, et komisjon võtaks uute seadusandlike ettepanekute ettevalmistamisel arvesse parlamendi arvamust tulemusauditite kohta;
Encourages the Commission to follow the Court of Auditors’ recommendation to concentrate the ex-ante checks on riskier beneficiaries, thereby introducing the beneficiary risk profile, based on results from the ex post controls and performance record;
peab kiiduväärseks asjaolu, et enamikku globaliseerumise ja kriisi tõttu massiliste koondamiste tagajärjel töö kaotanuid ja Globaliseerumisega Kohanemise Euroopa Fondi (EGF) meetmetest kasu saanud töötajaid toetati individuaalsete ja hästi kooskõlastatud meetmetega;
Efficiency and Effectiveness
märgib rahulolevalt, et EGFi meetmed olid riiklike ja Euroopa Sotsiaalfondi (ESF) meetmetega üldjuhul hästi kooskõlastatud;
Considers it necessary to put more emphasis on effectiveness, which is crucial for ensuring high-quality research in Europe, without underestimating the optimisation of administrative and financial practices and procedures, which is essential for achieving efficient implementation of FP7; is of the opinion that the realisation of a European Research Area is a key element for the long-term economic prosperity and competitiveness of the Union and that it is interlinked with the achievement of the established objectives and expected results from FP7; welcomes, in this regard, the introduction of performance indicators in Horizon 2020, which will measure programme implementation in terms of outputs, results and specific impacts, at the same time bearing in mind the programme objectives;
võtab teadmiseks nende liikmesriikide esitatud põhjendused, kes ei tahtnud võtta EGFi väga tõsiselt; märgib, et põhjendused olid järgmised:
Encourages the channelling of research output into initiatives with a tangible beneficial impact on citizens' daily life, for example those that feed into the concept of smart cities and prevent the generation of research for the sake of research; believes that a potential area for innovation and development of technological and industrial base is security and defence; encourages, therefore, the further advancement of research activities in this field, with a view to exploiting possibilities for dual-use technologies and know-how transfer to the civilian sector, so as to better address societal challenges;
ESFi kõrgem kaasrahastamismäär (mõnel juhul kuni 85 %, EGFil maksimaalselt 65 %) ei soodusta EGFi toetuse taotlemist; tervitab seetõttu komisjoni otsust järgmise EGFi perioodi kaasrahastamismäärad üle vaadata;
Acknowledges the persistent gap between research outputs and successful product realisation on the market and urges the Commission to further promote the ‘research-innovation-market’ link to boost the relative economic competitiveness of the Union on a global scale;
ESFi on võimalik kiiremini rakendada kui EGFi, või on ESF riikide ametiasutustele tuttavam;
Notes that the Union should identify its competitive advantage in cutting-edge areas of research and should work for encouraging young researchers to develop world-class research in Europe; believes that the introduction of a uniform and comprehensive definition for innovation would facilitate the application process and boost the attractiveness of the program for beneficiaries, especially SMEs with limited administrative capacities;
EGFil puuduvad ettemaksed;
New instruments
piiravamad EGFi tingimused, eriti kaubanduskriteerium kui peamine sekkumiskriteerium globaliseerumise tõttu esitatud taotluste puhul;
Welcomes the implementation of new forms of venture capital instruments for public private partnerships under FP7 — Joint Technology Initiatives (JTI) and Risk-sharing finance facility (RSFF), as well as the results these instruments have achieved in ensuring funding for long-term industrial investments and fostering private investments in research;
EGFi toetuse taotluste heakskiitmise protsessi pikkus;
Acknowledges that some JTIs have been particularly successful in involving SMEs in their projects with an average of 21 % of the total available funding provided by the JTIs to SMEs; notes that the functioning of the JTIs was affected by the overly complex legal framework and the prohibited implementation of common services which resulted in an average of 52 % of their staff devoted to administrative tasks;
rõhutab siiski veel kord asjaolu, et EGFi ja ESFi võib pidada teineteist täiendavateks vahenditeks, aga palub sellele vaatamata komisjonil teha selgeks EGFi ESFist eristamise vajadus, sest ESF on mõnel juhul paremini kohandatud õigeaegsete tulemuste saavutamisele ning sel on teatud juhtudel soodsamad kaas- ja eelrahastamise määrad; märgib samuti, et mõnes liikmesriigis on ESF liidu üldsusele tuttavam kui EGF [27];
Considers that the more cautious approach undertaken by the Commission in the first years of RSFF implementation was reasonable and in accordance with the economic conditions in Europe; recommends, however, that it should be established beyond doubt that the instrument is used as an efficient tool for riskier research projects which would otherwise not be supported by commercial banks but could lead to major innovation breakthroughs; is of the opinion that a step in the right direction is the establishment of the Risk Sharing Instrument (RSI), which complements the existing RSFF, thus ensuring the participation of research-based SMEs;
rõhutab, et on usaldusväärse finantsjuhtimise huvides, et töötute naasmist tööturule pärast nende osalemist EGFi meetmetes saaks usaldusväärselt kindlaks teha; leiab, et seetõttu tuleks EGFi määruses (Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määrus (EÜ) nr 1927/2006) [28] ergutada liikmesriike mõõtma tööturule naasmist ka pärast rakendusperioodi lõppu ning et samuti peaksid need andmed olema võrreldavad ja eelistatavalt seotud kvantitatiivsete eesmärkidega;
Synergy
peab seoses uue EGFi määrusega programmitöö perioodiks 2014–2020 (Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määrus (EL) nr 1309/2013) [29] tervitatavaks asjaolu, et komisjon on esitanud eesmärgi, et 12 kuud pärast määruse rakendamist leiaks 50 % koondatud tööjõust uue töökoha; tunneb siiski huvi, millisel loogikal see näitaja põhineb;
Notes that further efforts are needed to enable the Commission to effectively identify diverging practices in project implementation and to ensure that all beneficiaries are treated in a consistent and uniform manner by the different Commission DGs and other implementing entities in order to ease their administrative burden; notes the need to ensure that the already existing Research Enquiry Service and Research Clearing Committee fulfil the tasks of the initially envisaged Single Clearing House;
on kindlal seisukohal, et EGFi toetust tuleks peamiselt kasutada ümberõppeks ja kvalifikatsiooni omandamiseks ja muude sihtotstarbeliste aktiivsete tööturu meetmete jaoks ning mitte sissetulekutoetuseks, mida makstakse igal juhul riiklikest tööhõiveprogrammidest; palub seetõttu piirata sissetulekutoetust 25 %-ga EGFi meetme kohta;
Appreciates the complexity of promoting more synergy between FP7 and the Structural Funds (SF); believes that the Commission could intensify its communication with the Member States by presenting certain good practices in order to ensure that the SF are efficiently used to facilitate both the up-stream (project preparation, capacity building) and the down-stream (full-scale demonstration, market realisation) synergy approach; believes, thus, that the regional dimension of R&I could be enhanced by encouraging the innovation-research-education (the so called ‘triangle of knowledge’) and the creation of pockets of excellence and regional clusters, thereby expanding the FP 7 geographic scope with a view to the efficient and effective distribution of projects among all Member States; recognises the need for more coordination of SF allocations for development of research infrastructure and the subsequent financing of research activities under the framework programmes;
rõhutab asjaolu, et liidu finantsabi peaks andma Euroopa lisaväärtust; palub seetõttu võtta iga-aastases eelarve täitmisele heakskiidu andmise menetluses arvesse EGFi meetmete liidu lisaväärtuse kvantitatiivseid ja kvalitatiivseid aspekte võrreldes ESFi meetmete liidu lisaväärtusega, et kasutada kõige tõhusamaid näitajaid poliitika kohta või esitada nende väljajätmise põhjused; jagab kontrollikoja seisukohta, et 41 nädalat on lubamatult pikk periood EGFi toetuse saamiseks taotluse esitamise ja maksete saamise vahel ning see heidutab toetust taotlevaid riike, kes on raskustes ja vajavad liidu solidaarsust; võtab siiski teadmiseks komisjoni vastustes antud teabe; tuletab kõigile asjaomastele pooltele meelde liidu eelarveasutuste otsust mitte integreerida EGFi mitmeaastasesse finantsraamistikku, mis tähendab, et kõigi taotluste suhtes tuleb kohaldada spetsiaalset eelarvemenetlust, ning palub vaatamata eeltoodud selgitustele kõikidel asjaosalistel minna üle e-taotluse kasutamisele ja piirata esialgse taotluse järel täiendava teabe esitamist ainult erandjuhtudega, tehes seda igal juhul mitte hiljem kui kolm kuud pärast esialgse taotluse esitamist;
Part XVII
on siiski arvamusel, et sellist tähtsat poliitikavahendit tuleks põhjalikult hinnata, ning teeb seetõttu ettepaneku siduda EGFi ajavahemiku 2014–2020 läbivaatamine 2014.–2020. aasta mitmeaastase finantsraamistiku vahehindamisega;
Special Report No 3/2013 of the Court of Auditors entitled ‘Have the Marco Polo programmes been effective in shifting traffic off the road?’
XXII osa
Welcomes the Court of Auditors’ Special Report ‘Have the Marco Polo programmes been effective in shifting traffic off the road?’ and endorses its recommendations;
Kontrollikoja eriaruanne nr 8/2013 „Euroopa Maaelu Arengu Põllumajandusfondist antav metsade majandusliku väärtuse parandamise toetus”
Considers that the objectives of the Marco Polo programmes to transfer traffic from road to more environmental modes of transport are still valid and represent a key aspect of Union transport policy, fully shared by Parliament;
märgib, et komisjon peaks
Is of the opinion that the ideas which lead to the creation of the programme are still innovative and can generate efficient and sustainable transport freight services; considers the fact, however, that operationally, the instrument and the methodology used were inadequate for the virtue of the programme;
määratlema metsade majandusliku väärtuse parandamisega seotud liidu vajadused ja hindama neid;
Is of the view that the results also need to be looked at in light of changes in the market and the challenges of the economic crisis; believes, however, that the economic downturn cannot serve as alibi for the underperformance of the programme; urges, in this sense, the Commission to draw conclusions from the results of Marco Polo programmes (on-going) and to take the best practices, but also to learn from errors in the design and implementation for future programming;
defineerima selgelt põhielemendid, mis tagaksid, et liidu toetus on suunatud nende vajaduste käsitlemisele, ning looksid seeläbi liidu lisaväärtust;
Takes note that no dedicated funding regulation for Marco Polo III has been proposed for the 2014-2020 programming period and that a general framework for a support of the freight transport services is included in the Commission’s proposals for the new Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) already in 2011;
märgib, et liikmesriigid peaksid
Takes note that the Commission has just proposed a new reformed programme NAIADES II [24] for the inland waterways sector;
kirjeldama asjakohaselt oma maaelu arengukavades erinevat liiki metsaalade ja toetusesaajate konkreetseid majanduslikke vajadusi ja võimalusi;
Recalls that the Commission’s White Paper ‘A Roadmap to a Single Transport Area — Towards a competitive and resource-efficient transport system’, as far as infrastructure is concerned, aims at establishing a fully functional and interoperable Union-wide multimodal TEN-T ‘core network’ by 2030 and that it also aims at optimising the performance of multimodal logistic chains, including by making greater use of more energy-efficient modes;
tõhustama metsamajandamist, laiendades metsamajandamiskavade koostamise nõuet enamikule metsandusettevõtetest ja edendades metsaalade sertifitseerimist;
Notes that Parliament, in its resolution of 15 December 2011 entitled ‘Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area – Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system’ [25], called for an extension of the Marco Polo programme beyond 2013 in order to make efficient use of the potential of shipping but it also pointed out the need to simplify and improve the programme;
kehtestama piisavad nõuded, tagamaks, et maaelu arengu poliitika raames antakse metsandustoetusi järjepidevalt, kooskõlas riigiabi eeskirjadega ning nende mõjusust maksimeerides;
Takes note that during the trilogues of the new legal framework [26], Parliament and the Council agreed to make freight services eligible for Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) funding and that explicit reference to sustainable freight services has been agreed on the new trans-European transport network with particular reference to ‘motorways of the sea’ (Article 38);
kehtestama asjakohase menetluskorra, et tagada toetuste mõjusus investeeringuid saanud metsaalade majandusliku väärtuse parandamisel;
Shares the Commission’s view that the Marco Polo contribution to change of the balance of modes can only be modest since the resources allocated were also limited;
märgib, et komisjon peaks parandama meetme järelevalvet, tagamaks, et liikmesriigid rakendavad seda kooskõlas kehtestatud konkreetsete eesmärkidega ning et saavutada lühi- ja pikaajaline jätkusuutlikkus; märgib, et täpsemalt peaksid liikmesriigid nõudma, et toetusesaajad esitaksid andmeid oma metsaalade väärtuse kohta enne ja pärast kaasrahastatud investeeringute tegemist ning korraldusasutustelt tuleks nõuda nimetatud andmete tõendamist;
Considers that changes in the modal split need to be explained not only as a result of Marco Polo programmes but also by taking other measures into consideration; considers that the expected results of future programmes should be weighted with the financial amounts allocated and the volume of the sector addressed;
XXIII osa
Considers that despite of the limited resources available, Marco Polo programmes were adopted with a view to possible spillovers and demonstration effects that could result in wider effects than those initially foreseen;
Kontrollikoja eriaruanne nr 9/2013 „ELi toetus Kongo Demokraatliku Vabariigi juhtimisele”
Shares the view of the Court of Auditors that best practices from national experiences should have been used to improve the management and definition of the programmes;
komisjon ja Euroopa välisteenistus peaksid tihedas koostöös riikide ametiasutuste ja teiste arengupartneritega, eelkõige ELi liikmesriikidega, tegema järgmist:
Stresses, however, that not all national experiences can be extrapolated at Union level, as the Union transport sector operates in a more complex and multimodal environment; notes that it faces enormous constraints (interoperability, different national regulations, sectors differently open to competition) which need additional measures other than financial support (regulatory, political will, proper implementation and enforcement);
Euroopa Arengufondi ja tulevasi liidu programme kavandades tuleks i) pöörata rohkem tähelepanu toetuse asjakohasemale jagunemisele provintside (eriti vaesemate provintside) vahel, et vältida geograafilist ebavõrdsust arenguabi jaotamisel, pidades meeles kogu Aafrika Suurte järvede piirkonna stabiliseerimise tähtsust; ii) siduda kesktasandil antav toetus provintsi tasandi programmidega, mis ühendavad poliitilise ja territoriaalse detsentraliseerimise loodusvarade paremate haldusstrateegiate ning infrastruktuuri taastamise ja arendamisega, ning iii) vaadata vajaduste tervikliku hindamise alusel uuesti läbi loodusvarade paremaks haldamiseks antav ELi toetus;
Recalls in that sense its resolution of 15 December 2011 on a Single European Transport Area pointing out that modal transfers cannot be achieved by means of legislation, but only by exploiting a functioning infrastructure, intrinsic advantages and strengths and incentives;
pöörama dialoogis Kongo Demokraatliku Vabariigi (Kongo DV) ametiasutustega rohkem tähelepanu sellele, et demokraatlikud valimised on valitsemistava keskne koostisosa, ning hindama hoolikalt kõiki riske, tagamaks et seda valdkonda hõlmavad liidu programmid ei kindlustaks praegust režiimi;
Is of the opinion that the existence of a reduced number of multimodal players (main target of beneficiaries) might have contributed to the poor number of projects presented to the calls; believes that this can be a result of intrinsic behaviour of transport players that tend to operate in a single mode; calls on the Commission to look for improving participation of single mode operators that could also benefit from future initiatives; notes, however, the Court of Auditors’ remark on the complexity of the programme as pointed by the beneficiaries who might have discouraged potential additional interested;
edendama Kongo DV valitsuse vastutust, kaaludes riiklike järelevalveasutuste (eelkõige rahvuskogu erikomisjonide ja kõrgeima kontrolliasutuse) suutlikkuse suurendamist;
Considers that a poorly adapted regulatory framework together with a lack of proper information and communication of the programmes are also elements that need to be taken into account when analysing the programmes’ weaknesses; calls on the Commission to seek solutions to improve and enlarge potential beneficiaries by reducing complexity and administrative burden as well as improving communication of future actions;
võtma kõikides liidu koostööstrateegiaga hõlmatud juhtimisvaldkondades süstemaatiliselt arvesse pettuse ja korruptsiooniga võitlemise ja kohtureformi vajadust;
Recalls the particularity of Marco Polo, a programme based on performance where funding disbursements are conditional upon results; notes that this unique character, positive in terms of management of Union funds, together with complexity of the sector and the economic downturn has contributed to a underperformance of the programme;
komisjon peaks
Stresses, however, that the Commission should have been particularly attentive when measuring the results of beneficiaries; notes that the Commission did improve on the control of results;
hindama programmide alguses ja elluviimise käigus regulaarselt nende eesmärkide saavutamist ohustavate peamiste riskide tõenäosust ja võimalikku mõju; märgib, et sellega seoses tuleb i) hinnata riigi kohaldatavate juhtimistava parandavate poliitikasuundade ja tegevuskavade asjakohasust ja usaldusväärsust võrreldes olemasolevate institutsiooniliste ja rahaliste ressurssidega; ii) jälgida Kongo DV ametiasutuste edusamme võetud kohustuste täitmisel;
Emphasises the need for programmes based on results to have a strong methodology for measuring the achievement of the objectives; shares, in that sense, the remark made by the Court of Auditors that the methodology for calculating performance should need to be updated and accurate;
võtma kasutusele meetmed, mille abil hoida ära või leevendada riske, ning määratlema selgelt tegevuskava juhuks, kui risk muutub reaalsuseks, pidades eriti silmas pettuse- ja korruptsiooniriski;
Believes that the development of a strong methodology can serve also to provide information for potential operators that could be interested in modal shift, in particular SMEs with lack of resources to develop these tools;
suunama eesmärgid piiratud prioriteetide hulgale;
Recalls that Marco Polo projects were particularly sensitive to the economic crisis and that this led to a lower number of projects supported by the programme than expected; notes that as the Marco Polo project is a result oriented programme, the decrease of transport also impacted on the effective number of freight transferred to other modes;
kehtestama ajakava, sh vahehindamised, mis on paremini kohandatud programmi keskkonnaga;
Considers that a sufficient analysis of the market needs pointed out by the Court of Auditors as a weakness could not be sufficient to ensure better results to the effectiveness of the Marco Polo programmes; urges the Commission to provide more in-depth analysis for future programmes involving a modal shift;
võimaldama programmi elluviimise etapis paindlikkust, et eesmärke oleks võimalik vajaduse korral viivitamata kontrollida;
Considers, however, that the absence of market demand cannot be seen as an impediment for political action, as one of the objectives of Union transport policy is to try to address unbalanced modal split and create incentives for market takeoff; calls on the Commission to take into consideration the higher risks involved and to learn from the unsuccessful experiences and combine financial incentives, possibly also with financial aid for infrastructure as pointed by the Court of Auditors, as well as with other regulatory measures;
komisjon ja Euroopa välisteenistus peaksid
Is concerned about the Court of Auditors’ comment regarding possible situations of ‘reverse modal shift’ as an indirect effect of adopting new environmental legislation (e.g. sulphur rules); calls on the Commission to analyse trends in possibly reversing shift modes, to address solutions and to cooperate closely with the Directorates involved in order to have a systemic approach when drafting legislation and designing new financial support programmes;
suurendama struktureeritud poliitilist ja meetmetealast dialoogi riigiga; märgib, et see hõlmab täielikus kooskõlas Cotonou lepinguga (eriti artikliga 96) i) selgete, konkreetsete, realistlike ja ajaliselt piiritletud eesmärkide seadmist vastastikusel kokkuleppel riigi ametiasutustega; ii) kokkulepitud eesmärkide täitmise regulaarset hindamist valitsusega peetava regulaarse poliitilise dialoogi raames; iii) programmi kohandamise või erandjuhtudel peatamise või lõpetamise võimalust pärast hoolikat kaalumist, kui Kongo DV ametiasutused ei täida tingimusi;
