In heavily indebted countries, the IMF requires the concessionality level to be at least 35 %. 
Mednarodni denarni sklad za močno zadolžene države zahteva, da raven koncesivnosti znaša vsaj 35 %.
Introduction 09 04 There are also other, more general, potential benefits associated with the use of blending: (a) It promotes cooperation between stakeholders in the sphere of de‐ velopment aid. 
Uvod 09 04 Kombiniranje prinaša tudi druge, bolj splošne potencialne koristi: (a) spodbuja sodelovanje med delež‐ niki na področju razvojne pomo‐ či.
Blending mecha‐ nisms are set up in partnership with European financial institu‐ tions in particular, and thus benefit from their specific expertise and knowledge. 
Mehanizmi kombiniranja so vzpostavljeni zlasti v sodelovanju z evropskimi finančnimi institu‐ cijami, kar omogoča izkoriščanje njihovega specifičnega strokovne‐ ga znanja in izkušenj.
Increased cooperation may also result in greater trans‐ parency, economies of scale and reduced transaction costs for the partner country. 
Okrepljeno sodelovanje lahko v partnerski državi prav tako poveča pregled‐ nost, omogoči doseganje ekonomij obsega in zmanjša transakcijske stroške.
It also enables the implementation of projects that are too large to be financed by a single donor or financial institution. (b) It enhances the awareness by ben‐ eficiaries and the general public that investments were financed with the support of donors. 
Prav tako omogoča izva‐ janje projektov, ki so preveliki, da bi jih financiral en sam donator ali ena sama finančna institucija; (b) krepi zavedanje upravičencev in splošne javnosti, da so bile naložbe financirane s pomočjo donatorjev.
Com‐ bining interventions by various donors and financial institutions is a means of achieving the critical mass required to create the visibil‐ ity of aid. 
Kombiniranje posegov različnih donatorjev in finančnih institucij je način za doseganje kritične mase, ki je potrebna, da se ustvari prepo‐ znavnost pomoči.
EU blending mechanisms 05 The Commission has been granting interest rate subsidies for a long time. More recently, however, the Commis‐ sion and Member States have set up dedicated mechanisms that acceler‐ ate the use of blending. 
Mehanizmi kombiniranja EU 05 Komisija že dlje časa dodeljuje subven‐ cije obrestnih mer, pred kratkim pa je skupaj z državami članicami vzpostavi‐ la namenske mehanizme za pospeše‐ vanje uporabe kombiniranja.
Since 2007, the Commission has created eight regional investment facilities that cover the Commission’s entire sphere of external cooperation (see Annex I). 
Od leta 2007 je Komisija oblikovala osem re‐ gionalnih naložbenih instrumentov, ki zajemajo celotno področje zunanjega sodelovanja Komisije (glej Prilogo I).
They combine grants funded by the European Development Funds (EDFs) and the EU general budget with loans, mainly from European development‐ finance institutions. 
Instrumenti kombinirajo nepovratna sredstva iz Evropskih razvojnih skladov in splošnega proračuna EU s posojili, ki jih povečini zagotavljajo evropske institucije za financiranje razvoja.
In some cases, direct contributions are also made by EU Member States. 
V ne‐ katerih primerih neposredne prispevke namenjajo tudi države članice.
06 The regional investment facilities have a three‐tiered structure of governance3: (a) A strategic body4 that has the task of setting the overall strategy of the financing facility; (b) An executive body5, consisting of the Commission, Member States and other donors, which is re‐ sponsible for approving individual grants; (c) A technical body6, consisting of financial institutions and the Com‐ mission, which establishes a com‐ mon project pipeline and selects the projects to be presented to the executive body. 
06 Struktura upravljanja regionalnih na‐ ložbenih instrumentov ima tri ravni3: (a) strateški organ4, katerega naloga je opredeliti splošno strategijo mehanizma za financiranje; (b) izvršilni organ5, ki ga sestavljajo Komisija, države članice in drugi donatorji in ki odobri dodelitev ne‐ povratnih sredstev v posameznem primeru; (c) tehnični organ6, ki ga sestavljajo finančne institucije in Komisija in ki opredeli splošni načrt za pripravo projektov in izbere projekte, ki se predstavijo izvršilnemu organu.
3 The Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) constitutes an exception in that it is governed by a steering committee and a project financiers’ group. 
3 Izjema je naložbeni okvir za zahodni Balkan, ki ga upravljata usmerjevalni odbor in skupina ponudnikov financiranja projekta.
4 Referred to as ‘strategic board’ or ‘steering committee’. 
4 Imenuje se tudi „strateški odbor“ ali „usmerjevalni odbor“.
5 Referred to as ‘operational board’ or ‘executive committee’. 
5 Imenuje se tudi „operativni odbor ali „izvršilni odbor“.
Introduction 10 07 Following consultations with the respective partner country or coun‐ tries, the financial institutions propose projects7. 
Uvod 10 07 Finančne institucije predlagajo projek‐ te po posvetovanju z zadevno partner‐ sko državo ali zadevnimi partnerskimi državami7.
Development of the project pipeline is led by the financial institu‐ tions. 
Oblikovanje načrta za pripravo projektov vodijo finančne in‐ stitucije.
They identify and select projects on the basis of their own financial as‐ sessment criteria and apply for a grant, specifying the type and amount. 
Projekte opredeljujejo in izbi‐ rajo na podlagi lastnih meril za finanč‐ no oceno, nato pa predložijo vlogo za dodelitev nepovratnih sredstev, pri čemer navedejo vrsto in znesek.
The process of project development involves collaboration with the Com‐ mission, notably within the technical bodies and at EU delegation level. 
Proces razvoja projektov zajema sodelovanje s Komisijo, zlasti v okviru tehničnih or‐ ganov in na ravni delegacij EU.
The lead financial institution of a project monitors the implementation of the project and reports on its progress. 
Vodilna finančna institucija za projekt spremlja njegovo izvajanje in poroča o napred‐ ku.
The lead financial institution is entitled to a fee for managing the implementa‐ tion of projects. 
Vodilna finančna institucija je upra‐ vičena do nadomestila za upravljanje izvajanja projektov.
08 The EU–Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund (ITF) is the only regional invest‐ ment facility that operates as a fund. 
08 Skrbniški sklad EU‐Afrika za infra‐ strukturo je edini regionalni naložbeni instrument, ki deluje kot sklad.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) acts as treasurer for this fund. 
Njegov zakladnik je Evropska investicijska banka.
In the case of the other regional investment facilities, the Commission in most cases channels the grants to the final beneficiaries via the lead financial institution. 
Za druge regionalne naložbene instrumente Komisija nakazuje nepo‐ vratna sredstva končnim upravičen‐ cem povečini prek vodilne finančne institucije.
The beneficiaries them‐ selves award and manage the underly‐ ing contracts. However, the financial institutions implement the technical assistance and monitor the implemen‐ tation of the blended projects. 
Upravičenci sami oddajajo in upravljajo zadevna naročila, finanč‐ ne institucije pa izvajajo tehnično pomoč in nadzirajo izvajanje projek‐ tov, ki se financirajo s kombiniranjem.
Each of the regional investment facilities has a secretariat to support the executive bodies. 
Vsak regionalni naložbeni instrument ima sekretariat, ki pomaga izvršilnim organom.
The secretariats are hosted by the Commission8, except in the case of the ITF, whose secretariat is run by the EIB. 
Sekretariate vodi Komisija8, razen sekretariata skrbniškega sklada EU‐Afrika za infrastrukturo, ki ga vodi Evropska investicijska banka.
09 There are also other EU blending mechanisms. 
09 Obstajajo tudi drugi mehanizmi kom‐ biniranja EU.
The main example is the Investment Facility created in 2003 by the Cotonou Agreement for a period of 20 years. 
Glavni primer je sklad za spodbujanje naložb, ki je bil ustanov‐ ljen s sporazumom iz Cotonouja leta 2003 za obdobje 20 let.
Other examples of blend‐ ing outside the scope of the regional investment facilities are the Facility for Euro–Mediterranean Investment Part‐ nership (FEMIP) and the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (GEEREF). 
Drugi primeri kombiniranja izven okvira regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov sta instru‐ ment za evro‐sredozemske naložbe in partnerstvo (FEMIP) ter svetovni sklad za energetsko učinkovitost in obnovlji‐ ve vire energije (GEEREF).
10 The amount allocated by the EU to the regional investment facilities for the 2007–13 period was 2 106 million euro (see Annex II). 
10 Znesek, ki ga je EU dodelila regional‐ nim naložbenim instrumentom za obdobje 2007–2013, je znašal 2 106 mi‐ lijonov EUR (glej Prilogo II).
By the end of 2013, the Commission had already disbursed 1 205 million euro. 
Do konca leta 2013 je Komisija že izplačala 1 205 milijonov EUR.
The executive bod‐ ies of the regional investment facilities had approved 387 projects (see Annex III), the grants for which totalled 2 346 million euro (see Annex IV). 
Izvršilni organi regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov so odobrili 387 projektov (glej Prilogo III), za katere je skupni znesek nepovratnih sredstev znašal 2 346 mili‐ jonov EUR (glej prilogo IV).
These were accompanied by loans totalling 22 152 million euro. 
Ta sredstva so dopolnjevala posojila v skupni višini 22 152 milijonov EUR.
So far, the loans have a zero default rate. 
Do sedaj je stop‐ nja neplačil za posojila nična.
The sec‐ tors covered vary from one facility to another, but the transport and energy sectors receive most funding9. 
Zajeti sek‐ torji se razlikujejo glede na instrument, vendar se največ sredstev dodeli pro‐ metnemu in energetskemu sektorju9.
The pro‐ jects range from fairly small, starting at 0,3 million euro, to ones accounting for more than 1 000 million euro. 
Projekti segajo od razmeroma majh‐ nih, ki se začnejo pri 0,3 milijona EUR, do takšnih, ki jim je namenjeno več kot 1 000 milijonov EUR.
In the majority of cases, more than one fi‐ nancial institution is involved. 
V večini primerov sodeluje več kot ena finančna institu‐ cija.
In some cases, the regional investment facili‐ ties do not allocate funding to a single investment project, but to a different facility or fund. 
V nekaterih primerih regionalni naložbeni instrumenti ne dodelijo sredstev enemu samemu naložbe‐ nemu projektu, temveč drugemu instrumentu ali skladu.
In the case of such sub‐facilities, the financial institutions select and finance sub‐actions, which involve local financier partners. 
Pri tovrstnih podinstrumentih finančne institucije izbirajo in financirajo podukrepe, pri katerih so vključeni lokalni ponudniki financiranja.

Introduction 11 12 The four main financial institutions10 involved in the regional investment fa‐ cilities from the outset are the EIB, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Agence Fran‐ çaise de Développement (AFD) and the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW). 
Uvod 11 12 Štiri glavne finančne institucije10, ki so že od samega začetka vključene v regionalne naložbene instrumente, so Evropska investicijska banka, Evrop‐ ska banka za obnovo in razvoj (EBRD), Agence Française de Développement (AFD) in Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).
Annex V provides an overview of the loan amounts they approved over the 2007–13 period for the 387 projects that received support under these facilities. 
V Prilogi V je pregled zneskov posojil, ki so jih v obdobju 2007–2013 odobrili za 387 projektov, ki so prejeli podporo v okviru teh instrumentov.
13 In December 2012, the Commission launched the EU Platform for Blending in External Cooperation in order to ex‐ amine how to improve the quality and efficiency of regional investment facili‐ ties. 
13 Decembra 2012 je Komisija oblikova‐ la platformo EU za kombiniranje na področju zunanjega sodelovanja, da bi preučila, kako izboljšati kakovost in učinkovitost regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov.
The process is ongoing and the expected output is a set of recommen‐ dations and guidelines on the use of blending in external cooperation and on how to mobilise additional public and private resources to increase the impact of EU external cooperation and development policy. 
Proces še poteka, z njim pa naj bi oblikovali sklop priporočil in smernic o uporabi kombiniranja na področju zunanjega sodelovanja in mobilizaciji dodatnih javnih in za‐ sebnih sredstev, da bi povečali vpliv zunanjega sodelovanja in razvojne politike EU.
10 The other eligible financial institutions are: Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID), African Development Bank (AfDB), Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries (BIO), Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB), Companía Española de Financiación al Desarrollo (COFIDES), Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation Ltd.

Audit scope 12 and approach 14 The Court assessed the effectiveness of blending the regional investment facility grants with loans from financial institutions to support EU external policies by focusing on the following two questions: (a) Have the regional investment facilities been set up and managed well? (b) Did the use of blending yield the intended benefits? 
Obseg revizije 12 in revizijski pristop 14 Sodišče je ocenilo učinkovitost kombi‐ niranja nepovratnih sredstev v okviru regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov s posojili finančnih institucij pri podpi‐ ranju zunanjih politik EU tako, da se je osredotočilo na naslednji dve vprašanji: (a) Ali so bili regionalni naložbeni instrumenti dobro vzpostavljeni in upravljani? (b) Ali je uporaba kombiniranja prine‐ sla načrtovane koristi?
15 This audit, which was the first by the Court in this particular area, was car‐ ried out between May and December 2013 and looked at how the regional investment facilities had performed since their creation. 
15 Ta revizija, ki je bila prva, ki jo je Sodi‐ šče opravilo na tem področju, je pote‐ kala med majem in decembrom 2013, njen namen pa je bil ugotoviti, kako uspešni so bili regionalni naložbeni instrumenti od svoje ustanovitve.
The Court focused its audit on the EU financial allocations and the role of the Commission. 
Sodi‐ šče je revizijo osredotočilo na dode‐ ljevanje sredstev EU in vlogo Komisije.
The audit work consisted of an analytical review, interviews with Commission staff, a survey of 40 EU delegations11, visits to the four main financial insti‐ tutions and a detailed examination of a sample of projects. 
V sklopu revizije so bili opravljeni analitični pregled, pogovori z usluž‐ benci Komisije, anketa, v katero je bilo vključenih 40 delegacij EU11, obiski v štirih glavnih finančnih institucijah in podrobna preučitev vzorca projektov.
The sample12 consisted of 15 projects that received grants from the ITF (see Annex VI) and 15 projects that had received grants under the Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF) (see Annex VII). 
Vzorec12 je sestavljalo 15 projektov, ki so pridobili nepovratna sredstva iz skrbniškega sklada EU‐Afrika za infrastrukturo (ITF) (glej Prilogo VI), in 15 projektov, ki so pridobili nepo‐ vratna sredstva v okviru naložbenega instrumenta za sosedstvo (NIF) (glej Prilogo VII).
These two regional investment facilities cover both the EDF and the EU gen‐ eral budget, and represent more than 70 % of the grants approved by the regional investment facilities by the end of 2013. 
Ta dva regionalna nalož‐ bena instrumenta se financirata tako iz Evropskega razvojnega sklada kot iz splošnega proračuna, v njunem okviru pa je bilo dodeljenih več kot 70 % vseh nepovratnih sredstev, ki so jih regio‐ nalni naložbeni instrumenti odobrili do konca leta 2013.
They are also the oldest investment facilities and thus have the most advanced projects. 
Sta tudi najstarejša naložbena instrumenta, zato zajemata projekte v najbolj naprednih fazah.
Because of their particular characteristics, the audit also included an examination of eight projects relating to the creation of sub‐facilities (see paragraph 11) for financing actions with the involve‐ ment of local financial institutions (see Annex VIII). 
Revizija je zaradi njihovih posebnosti vključevala tudi pregled osmih projek‐ tov, povezanih z vzpostavitvijo podin‐ strumentov (glej odstavek 11) za finan‐ ciranje ukrepov z udeležbo lokalnih finančnih institucij (glej Prilogo VIII).
11 22 EU delegations responded to the survey. 
11 Na anketo se je odzvalo 22 delegacij EU.
12 The Court selected the projects randomly by monetary unit sampling. 
12 Sodišče je projekte izbralo naključno z metodo vzorčenja po denarni enoti.
Observations 13 The regional investment facilities have been set up in an appropriate manner, but the Commission’s management is still affected by shortcomings 16 The Court examined whether the over‐ all set‐up of the regional investment facilities and the procedural frame‐ work were appropriate. 
Opažanja 13 Regionalni naložbeni instrumenti so bili vzpo‐ stavljeni ustrezno, na upravljanje, ki ga izvaja Komisija, pa še vedno vplivajo pomanjkljivosti 16 Sodišče je preučilo, ali je bila vzposta‐ vitev regionalnih naložbenih instru‐ mentov in postopkovnega okvira v splošnem ustrezna.
The audit also focused on the procedure for assessing grant applications, the justification for the projects selected and the appro‐ priateness of the type and amount of the grants. 
Revizija se je poleg tega osredotočila na postopek ocenjevanja vlog za dodelitev nepo‐ vratnih sredstev, utemeljitev izbire projektov ter ustreznost vrste in višine nepovratnih sredstev.
Finally, the implementation of the grants and monitoring of the projects were also examined as part of the audit. 
V okviru revizije sta bila pregledana tudi izvrševanje nepovratnih sredstev in spremljanje projektov.
19 The Financial Regulation13 recently introduced specific rules on blending mechanisms14. 
19 S finančno uredbo13 so bila pred nedavnim uvedena posebna pravi‐ la o mehanizmih za kombiniranje14.
These rules, applica‐ ble from 2014 onwards, significantly improve the regulatory framework by defining concepts and principles, sim‐ plifying the management modes used for blending, and providing the legal basis to use innovative financing tools. 
S temi pravili, ki veljajo od leta 2014, se je zaradi opredelitve konceptov in načel, poenostavitve načinov upravlja‐ nja, ki se uporabljajo za kombiniranje, in zagotovitve pravne podlage za upo‐ rabo inovativnih orodij za financiranje regulativni okvir bistveno izboljšal.
The Commission is currently further improving the framework by preparing guidelines for the management of the regional investment facilities15. 
Komisija si trenutno prizadeva nadalje izboljšati okvir s pripravo smernic za upravljanje regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov15.
20 While the Commission has made some progress in this area, projects were generally initiated by financial institu‐ tions with the Commission responding to these proposals and the ensuing grant requests, rather than actively identifying operations. 
20 Kljub določenemu napredku Komisije na tem področju so pobude za projek‐ te povečini dale finančne institucije, Komisija pa se je na te predloge in posledične vloge za dodelitev sredstev odzivala, vendar ni dejavno opredelje‐ vala ukrepov.
13 Regulation No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 
13 Uredba št. 966/2012 Evropskega Parlamenta in Sveta z dne 25. oktobra 2012 o finančnih pravilih, ki se uporabljajo za splošni proračun Unije in razveljavitvi Uredbe Sveta (ES, Euratom) št.
14 A new Title VIII, Financial Instruments, was introduced. 
14 Uvedeno je bilo novo poglavje VIII, Finančni instrumenti.
15 Practical guidelines that have helped partner countries to understand the requirements connected with WBIF project applications and submissions have existed since 2012. 
15 Praktične smernice, ki partnerskim državam pomagajo razumeti zahteve, povezane z vlogami za dodelitev sredstev iz naložbenega okvira za zahodni Balkan, obstajajo od leta 2012.
The set-up of the regional investment facilities is satisfactory and the regulatory and procedural framework is improving 17 It is appropriate to have eight different regional investment facilities instead of one global investment facility because: (a) the facilities have different struc‐ tures for combining the funding from the various donors involved and channelling it to the projects; (b) EU funding to the geographical investment facilities comes from different financial instruments, which have different legal bases; (c) (d) the allocation of responsibilities within the Commission and the financial institutions is geographi‐ cally based; the parties represented in the various governance bodies (see paragraph 6) vary from region to region. 
Ureditev regionalnih nalož‐ benih instrumentov je zadovoljiva, regulativni in postopkovni okvir pa se izboljšujeta 17 Ustrezneje je imeti osem različnih re‐ gionalnih naložbenih instrumentov kot enega splošnega, in sicer iz naslednjih razlogov: (a) strukture instrumentov za kom‐ biniranje sredstev različnih dona‐ torjev in usmerjanje teh sredstev v projekte so različne; (b) sredstva EU za geografske na‐ ložbene instrumente izvirajo iz različnih finančnih instrumentov, ki imajo različne pravne podlage; (c) razporeditev odgovornosti v Komi‐ siji in finančnih institucijah temelji na geografiji; (d) strani, zastopane v različnih orga‐ nih upravljanja (glej odstavek 6), se razlikujejo med posameznimi regijami.
18 The objectives and priority sectors under all the regional investment facilities are aligned with global EU policy objectives. 
18 Cilji in prednostni sektorji vseh regio‐ nalnih naložbenih instrumentov so skladni s splošnimi cilji politike EU.
In the case of the ITF, only projects with a regional dimen‐ sion were eligible, which limited the potential for blending. 
V okviru skrbniškega sklada EU‐Afrika za infrastrukturo so bili upravičeni le projekti z regionalno razsežnostjo, kar je omejilo potencial za kombiniranje.
Observations 14 21 The secretariat of the ITF is operated by the EIB (see paragraph 8). 
Opažanja 14 21 Sekretariat skrbniškega sklada EU‐Afri‐ ka za infrastrukturo vodi Evropska investicijska banka (glej odstavek 8).
In view of the fact that the EIB is a project finan‐ cier and irrespective of the fact that the secretariat is ring‐fenced from the EIB’s banking activities, this is an issue that needs to be addressed. 
Ker je Evropska investicijska banka ponudnik financiranja, in ne glede na to, da je sekretariat ločen od bančnih dejavnosti banke, bo to vprašanje treba obravnavati.
The projects approved were relevant to the development needs of the regions and countries concerned. 
Odobreni projekti so ustrezali razvojnim potrebam zadevnih regij in držav.
