Believes that the current level of flexibility is excessive, as the measure has lost its focus and has become a general subsidy, risking becoming a handout to the food-processing companies;
pozdravlja posebno poročilo Računskega sodišča o sodelovanju EU z Egiptom na področju upravljanja ter podaja naslednje pripombe in priporočila;
Notes with concern that out of 24 projects audited by the Court of Auditors, only six had a clear effect in adding value and that these were classified as ‘high added value’, while further 12 projects were assessed as medium by the Court of Auditors and the remaining six projects resulted in little or no adding of value to the agricultural products;
ugotavlja, da je bil v povezavi z reformo javnega finančnega upravljanja ustanovljen podporni program v vrednosti 4 milijonov EUR, ki ga financirajo EU, Francija in Romunija, za namene boja proti korupciji in pranju denarja ter za pomoč pri povrnitvi premoženjske koristi v Egiptu; ugotavlja, da se ta program izvaja od julija 2011 do julija 2014, nato bo vložena prošnja za podaljšanje pri Uniji, ki je njegova glavna donatorka; ugotavlja, da je 166 tožilcev in uslužbencev organov kazenskega pregona ter finančnih obveščevalnih enot opravilo poglobljeno usposabljanje; ugotavlja tudi, da je bil program v neodvisnem nadzornem poročilu decembra 2012 ocenjen pozitivno;
Believes that Member States should clearly identify in their Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) where and why public intervention is necessary to improve the added value of agricultural produce and the competitiveness of agriculture; believes that the RDPs should set specific and measurable objectives in relation to these needs; urges the Commission to approve only those RDPs that present substantiated and comprehensive strategies with a clear rationale to demonstrate how the financial support for the food industry will improve the competitiveness of agriculture;
je seznanjen, da je Egipt v obdobju 2007–2013 prejel približno 1000 milijonov EUR pomoči Unije: 60 % prek sektorske proračunske podpore egiptovski vladi, preostanek pa prek projektov, dogovorjenih z egiptovskimi oblastmi; ugotavlja, da je proračunska podpora glavni mehanizem Komisije za nudenje pomoči Egiptu; vseeno ugotavlja, da Evropski službi za zunanje delovanje in Komisiji v splošnem ni uspelo uspešno upravljati in nadzirati podpore EU, ki naj bi izboljšala javno upravljanje v Egiptu;
Invites Member States to define and apply criteria that ensure the selection of effective, sustainable projects with respect to Member States’ specific objectives; calls on the Commission to ensure that these criteria are correctly and continuously applied and welcomes the Commission’s proposal for the next programming period stipulating that selection criteria should be defined for operations under all measures;
ugotavlja, da je pod Mursijevo upravo povrnitev premoženjske koristi postala ena od prednostnih nalog in privedla do pomembnega napredka: povrnitev premoženjske koristi zahteva namreč visoko kakovost sodstva, ki mora upoštevati mednarodne standarde, kar vodi k izboljšanju postopkov in finančnega poslovodenja; ugotavlja, da je stopnja korupcije v Egiptu še vedno visoka, vendar prizadevanja niso bila zaman in napredek je opazen; je seznanjen, da je bil s pomočjo EU nedavno pripravljen osnutek zakona o zaščiti prič, ki čaka na sprejetje, enako velja za zakon proti navzkrižju interesov ter zakon o dostopu do dokumentov;
Reiterates the belief that the Commission and Member States should promote the adoption of best practices in respect of the mitigation of deadweight and displacement risks; invites Member States to consider deadweight and displacement risks, both when drawing up their RDP and in project selection, and to target the aid to projects for which there is a demonstrable need for public support and which deliver added value; requests that the Commission report back to the discharge authority on the progress made as regards exchange of best practices on the mitigation of deadweight and displacement risks with Member States;
ugotavlja, da sta Unija in Agencija Združenih držav za mednarodni razvoj koordinatorki nepovratnih sredstev za programe upravljanja javnih financ v Egiptu; ugotavlja, da Unija prav tako skrbi za usklajevanje sodelovanja med Egiptom in državami članicami pri povrnitvi premoženjske koristi in da je bilo na svetovni ravni zamrznjenih 1,2 milijarde EUR sredstev;
Endorses the Court of Auditors’ recommendation that in the new programming period, the Commission should improve the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (CMEF) in a way that it provides useful information on the achievements of the projects and measures financed by means of enhancement of on-going evaluation activities; believes that current methodology, using lengthy mid-term evaluation reports, has proven to be inadequate;
meni, da je pomembno nadzorovati programe prek sektorske proračunske podpore in spodbujati izboljšave pri odgovornosti in preglednosti v dialogu z egiptovskimi oblastmi v programu javnih financ in finančne odgovornosti; meni, da je začasna opustitev programov sektorske proračunske podpore uporabno in nujno orodje za dosego tega cilja;
Welcomes the Commission’s proposals for the monitoring and evaluation system for the period 2014–2020, replacing the requirement of a mid-term evaluation by extended annual implementation reports (in 2017 and 2019), which are to assess progress towards achieving the objectives of the programme, and the provision that Member States should carry out evaluations during the programming period according to an evaluation plan; reminds the Commission that collecting detailed data at measure level is indispensable for enabling the CMEF to provide details as to the success of the measures;
Sklep
Part XVI
ugotavlja, da to poročilo Računskega sodišča o sodelovanju EU z Egiptom na področju upravljanja vsebuje veliko bistvenih ugotovitev in da je pomembno, da Računsko sodišče ne ocenjuje le kakovosti finančnega upravljanja, marveč tudi učinkovitost, ki so jo dosegli programi Unije; zato poziva Komisijo, naj redno ocenjuje dosežene rezultate;
Special Report No 2/2013 of the Court of Auditors entitled - ‘Has the Commission ensured efficient implementation of the seventh framework programme for research?’
ugotavlja, da bo moral Parlament vložiti več v svojo politično odgovornost za pozorno spremljanje izvajanja takšnih in podobnih politik;
Simplification
Del XIX
Agrees with the overall evaluation of the Court of Auditors that ‘the Commission has taken a number of steps to simplify the rules for participation’ by introducing a number of administrative and financial simplifications to FP7 rules for participation which reduce the administrative burden on beneficiaries and facilitate their access to the programme; believes, however, that the periods could be further shortened based on improved internal communication and the sharing of best practices among DGs, as well as the timely introduction of effective new IT tools;
posebno poročilo Računskega sodišča št. 5/2013 z naslovom „Ali so sredstva kohezijske politike EU za ceste dobro porabljena“
Welcomes the increased application of flat rates on direct and indirect costs, including the introduction of average personnel costs; emphasises, at the same time, the need for continued efforts towards the standardisation of reimbursement practices;
pozdravlja ugotovitve Računskega sodišča, ki je potrdilo precejšnje izboljšave varnosti na cestah in občutno zmanjšanje števila smrtnih žrtev (v nekaterih primerih na ničelno stopnjo); ugotavlja, da se je poleg tega zaradi cestnih izboljšav skrajšal potovalni čas;
Expresses its concerns about the unsuccessful efforts to establish a certification mechanism for the approval of cost methodologies that would give assurance to the beneficiaries on their methodologies; considers that the wide-spread implementation of flat rate on indirect costs in Horizon 2020 will contribute further to preventing possible financial abuses and decreasing the error rates, thereby benefiting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), thus making the participation of potential beneficiaries from the new EU-12 Member States easier;
je seznanjen s priporočili Računskega sodišča, hkrati pa sprejema nekatera pojasnila Komisije;
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;
ugotavlja, da so bili sicer za cestne projekte opredeljeni cilji, vendar njihovega učinka na gospodarski razvoj ni bilo mogoče oceniti zaradi neustreznih kazalnikov; poziva Komisijo in države članice, naj v novem programskem obdobju opredelijo zanesljive in merljive kazalnike in tako odpravijo to težavo;
Financial control
ugotavlja, da med revidiranimi državami članicami obstajajo razlike pri postopkih javnega naročanja; meni, da bi bilo treba evropsko direktivo o javnih naročilih strogo izvajati v vseh državah članicah, da bi dosegli čim višjo raven stroškovne učinkovitosti in uspešnosti; je poleg tega prepričan, da bi moralo biti sofinanciranje v prihodnje odvisno od ukrepov držav članic za zagotavljanje konkurence na gradbenih trgih in osredotočenost sistemov javnega naročanja na najgospodarnejše ponudbe ob zmanjšanju ovir za sodelovanje;
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;
poziva Komisijo, naj še naprej posodablja in prilagaja svoj vodnik za analizo stroškov in koristi naložbenih projektov, ki velja za vse projekte, in svetuje o izvajanju prometnih napovedi;
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;
poziva Komisijo, naj omogoči izmenjavo praktičnih zgledov med državami članicami, po eni strani v zvezi z izvajanjem zanesljivih prometnih napovedi, po drugi strani pa v zvezi z izračunom pričakovanega gospodarskega učinka gradnje cest;
Efficiency and Effectiveness
meni, da so stroški gradnje cest odvisni od oblikovanosti terena, potresne nevarnosti, okoljskih, arheoloških, kulturnih in drugih omejitev, pa tudi od potrebnega števila gradbenih objektov (kot so mostovi in predori); meni, da je treba te spremenljivke ustrezno upoštevati;
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;
poziva Komisijo in Računsko sodišče, naj posredujeta več informacij o morebitni uvedbi podatkovne zbirke na ravni Unije s podatki o stroških na enoto za inženirje, ki pripravljajo cenitve novih projektov, da se upravičencem pomaga znižati cene v okviru javnega naročanja;
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;
Del XX
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;
posebno poročilo Računskega sodišča št. 6/2013 „Ali so države članice in Komisija z ukrepi za diverzifikacijo podeželskega gospodarstva dosegle stroškovno učinkovitost?“
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;
Splošne opombe
New instruments
je zaskrbljen, da utegne biti dobro upravljanje programov in pobud, ki se financirajo z evropskimi sredstvi, ogroženo zaradi zmanjševanja sredstev za javni sektor, ki vplivajo na število zaposlenih v ustreznih upravah;
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;
je zaskrbljen, da države članice izvajajo ukrepe na različne načine in da so pripombe Računskega sodišča v številnih primerih naslovljene nanje;
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;
poudarja, da bi bilo treba večji poudarek nameniti jasnim potrebam ali posebnim ciljem ter možnostim za pomoč področjem, ki jo potrebujejo;
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;
poudarja, da je potrebna okolju prijaznejša, pravičnejša in povsem zakonita skupna kmetijska politika, ki bi predstavljala načelo „javne porabe za javne dobrine“; meni, da bo pogostejša družbeno-politična poraba sredstev za razvoj podeželja povečala rast in število delovnih mest na podeželju;
Synergy
poudarja, da bi moral biti cilj ustreznih diverzifikacijskih projektov razviti lokalno infrastrukturo in lokalne osnovne storitve na podeželju, da bi preprečili trend upadanja števila prebivalcev; meni, da bi moral biti cilj projektov tudi povečati privlačnost podeželja za mlade ter ustvariti nova ustrezna in dobro plačana delovna mesta;
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;
O pristopu Računskega sodišča
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;
ugotavlja, da se je posebno poročilo osredotočalo na cilj diverzifikacije v okviru osi 3, in meni, da bi bilo koristno preučiti tudi cilj izboljšanja kakovosti življenja na podeželju in diverzifikacije gospodarske dejavnosti;
Part XVII
ugotavlja, da so revidirani ukrepi oblikovani tako, da ne bodo imeli učinka zgolj na zaposlovanje in dohodek, temveč bodo prispevali k trajnosti podeželskih območij;
Special Report No 3/2013 of the Court of Auditors entitled ‘Have the Marco Polo programmes been effective in shifting traffic off the road?’
Razvoj dogodkov v prihodnosti
Welcomes the Court of Auditors’ Special Report ‘Have the Marco Polo programmes been effective in shifting traffic off the road?’ and endorses its recommendations;
pozdravlja dejstvo, da je Komisija za naslednje programsko obdobje predlagala vrsto izboljšav, ki naj bi obravnavale nekatere pomisleke Računskega sodišča, zlasti:
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;
močnejši pravni okvir s celovitim opisom strategije in naknadnim ocenjevanjem;
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;
en sam ukrep namesto treh, in sicer z večjo osredotočenostjo, natančnejšimi merili za upravičenost (s svetovanjem) in pravili za plačilo ter uporabo poenostavljenih stroškov;
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;
boljše opredeljevanje izbirnih meril, katerih uporaba bi morala postati obvezna;
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;
izmenjava najboljše prakse na področju ublažitve tveganja mrtvih izgub in premestitvenega učinka;
Takes note that the Commission has just proposed a new reformed programme NAIADES II [24] for the inland waterways sector;
kazalniki rezultatov v okviru ocenjevanja programov za razvoj podeželja;
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;
skupni okvir spremljanja in vrednotenja, ki bo pri ocenjevanju uporabljal skupne ciljne kazalnike.
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;
poziva države članice, naj v svojih programih razvoja podeželja jasno opredelijo, kje bo javna intervencija pri naložbah v nekmetijske dejavnosti pomagala odpraviti na primer nedelovanje trga zaradi ovir pri zaposlovanju in rasti; je prepričan, da bi morale države članice določiti specifične in merljive cilje, povezane s temi potrebami, Komisija pa odobriti samo tiste programe za razvoj podeželja, v katerih so navedene utemeljene in izčrpne strategije z jasno obrazložitvijo, kako bo intervencija politike prispevala k doseganju strateških ciljev ustvarjanja pogojev za rast in možnosti za zaposlovanje ter boju proti upadanju števila prebivalcev na podeželju;
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);
poziva države članice, naj določijo in dosledno uporabljajo merila, s katerimi bi zagotovile izbiro najuspešnejših in najbolj trajnostnih projektov glede na svoje specifične cilje; meni, da bi morala Komisija zagotoviti, da se ta merila uporabljajo pravilno in redno, ne samo, ko začne primanjkovati sredstev;
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;
zahteva, da si Komisija in države članice izmenjujejo primere najboljše prakse za zmanjševanje tveganja mrtvih izgub in premestitvenega učinka ter spodbujajo njihovo sprejemanje;
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;
zahteva, da Komisija spodbuja države članice k praksi, v skladu s katero so odhodki za naložbe upravičeni šele od datuma odobritve nepovratnih sredstev;
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;
poziva Komisijo, naj zagotovi, da bodo imele države članice uspešne sisteme za izvajanje pregledov razumnosti stroškov;
