Sixty-six programmes reporting to DG EMPL and 53 reporting to DG REGIO had submitted interim payment claims for 201632, showing that they were already implementing operations. 
66 programov, ki poročajo GD EMPL, in 53 programov, ki poročajo GD REGIO, je predložilo zahtevke za vmesno plačilo za leto 201632, kar kaže, da so operacije že potekale.
In the Member States, therefore, the authorities have generally begun implementing their 2014-2020 programmes. 
Torej so organi v državah članicah na splošno že začeli izvajati svoje programe za obdobje 2014–2020.
For a large majority of programmes, however, implementation has not started simply because unspent funding was still available under the 2007-2013 programmes for which the eligibility period ended only on 31 December 2015. 
Izvajanje velike večine programov pa se še ni začelo, in sicer preprosto zato, ker je bilo v okviru programov za obdobje 2007– 2013 še vedno na voljo neporabljeno financiranje, za katerega se je obdobje upravičenosti končalo šele 31. decembra 2015.
This overlapping of the eligibility periods creates a disincentive to start the programmes of the subsequent period. 
To prekrivanje obdobij upravičenosti odvrača od začenjanja programov iz naslednjega obdobja.

Observations 37 Overlapping of eligibility periods also increases the overall administrative burden of programme management and control at Member State and Commission level 65 The Commission considers closure to be part of the regulatory requirements and does not separately budget for or monitor the cost of the closure exercise in either policy area. 
Opažanja 37 Prekrivanje obdobij upravičenosti pomeni tudi dodatno upravno breme pri upravljanju in kontrolah programov na ravni držav članic in Komisije 65 Komisija meni, da je zaključevanje del uredbenih zahtev.
The Commission does not require the Member States to provide information on their own costs or resource requirements for the closure exercise; nor does it draw up a comprehensive estimate of the overall resource requirements of its directorates-general. 
Zato na nobenem od dveh področij ne pripravlja ločeno proračuna za zaključevanje ali spremlja stroškov zaključevanja. Od držav članic ne zahteva, da bi zagotovile informacije o svojih lastnih stroških ali potrebah po virih za zaključevanje.
As the Member States see closure as part of their programme management responsibilities, they also do not separately estimate or monitor the resource requirements for closure in either policy area. 
Ker države članice razumejo zaključevanje kot del svojih odgovornosti pri upravljanju programa, tudi one potreb po virih za zaključevanje na nobenem od teh dveh področij ne ocenjujejo ali spremljajo ločeno.
66 The main concern expressed by the Member States through our survey and interviews was the time pressure generated both by the overlapping of eligibility periods and the work required for closure. 
66 Glavni pomislek, ki so ga v odgovorih na anketo in med pogovori izrazile države članice, je bil časovni pritisk, ki nastaja zaradi prekrivanja obdobij upravičenosti in dela z zaključevanjem.
Audit authorities and certification bodies in particular perceive this time pressure as a major risk. 
Ta časovni pritisk kot veliko tveganje vidijo zlasti revizijski in certifikacijski organi.
Some authorities indicated that they were tackling the problem by hiring additional staff or outsourcing activities. However, owing to budget cuts several others were in no position to do this. 
Nekateri organi so navedli, da problem rešujejo z najemanjem dodatnih uslužbencev ali z oddajanjem dejavnosti v zunanje izvajanje, več drugih pa tega zaradi zmanjšanja proračunskih sredstev ni moglo storiti.
Also the Commission has identified a need for additional staff resources during closure and is considering outsourcing certain tasks. 
Komisija je prav tako ugotovila, da pri zaključevanju potrebuje dodatne kadrovske vire, in razmišlja o oddaji nekaterih nalog v zunanje izvajanje.
There is therefore a serious risk that insufficient experienced staff will be available for closure activities at national level. 
Zato obstaja resno tveganje, da za dejavnosti zaključevanja ne bo na voljo dovolj izkušenih uslužbencev na nacionalni ravni.
68 The 2014-2020 period will exacerbate the problem of implementing programmes related to two periods simultaneously, as expenditure will continue to be eligible for 3 years after the end of the programme period instead of the 2 years allowed for 2007-2013. 
68 Z obdobjem 2014–2020 se bo problem istočasnega izvajanja programov, ki se nanašajo na dve različni obdobji, še poslabšal, saj bodo odhodki na voljo še tri leta po koncu programskega obdobja, ne pa dve leti, kot je bilo za obdobje 2007–2013.
Assuming the subsequent period is not delayed, therefore, the work of Member States in connection with the annual acceptance of accounts of 2014-2020 programmes will overlap with the implementation of new programmes between 1 January 2021 and either 30 June 2024 (for rural development) or 15 February 2025 (for cohesion). 
Če pri naslednjem obdobju ne bo zamude, bodo države članice torej opravljale delo, povezano z letnim sprejetjem obračunov za programe za obdobje 2014–2020, kar pa se bo prekrivalo z izvajanjem novih programov med 1. januarjem 2021 in 30. junijem 2024 (za področje razvoja podeželja) oziroma 15. februarjem 2025 (za področje kohezije).
Observations 38 The Commission provided adequate and timely support to help Member States prepare for the closure of 2007-2013 programmes, but needs to remain vigilant to ensure a robust implementation by the Member States The Commission issued comprehensive and timely guidance on the 2007-2013 closure 69 Rules should be clear, simple and practical, and they should be easy to find in the regulations. 
Opažanja 38 Komisija je zagotovila ustrezno in pravočasno podporo, da bi državam članicam pomagala pri pripravah na zaključek programov za obdobje 2007– 2013, vendar mora biti še naprej pozorna na zagotavljanje, da ga bodo države članice dobro izvajale Komisija je izdala izčrpne in pravočasne smernice o zaključevanju za obdobje 2007–2013 69 Pravila bi morala biti jasna, preprosta in praktična, v uredbah pa bi jih moralo biti mogoče zlahka najti.
A complex legal framework could increase the incidence of mistakes at closure if the authorities do not understand the requirements properly or interpret them differently from the Commission. 
Zapleten pravni okvir bi lahko povečal pogostost napak pri zaključevanju, če organi zahtev ne razumejo pravilno ali si jih razlagajo drugače kot Komisija.
It could also lead to inefficiencies if the Commission is required to issue clarifications to the Member States. 
To lahko tudi privede do neučinkovitosti, če mora Komisija pošiljati pojasnila državam članicam.
To mitigate these risks, the Commission needs to prepare guidelines in advance that summarise and further clarify the provisions for closure. 
Za ublažitev teh tveganj mora Komisija vnaprej pripraviti smernice, v katerih so povzete in dodatno razjasnjene določbe o zaključevanju.
While the regulations provide a general framework for the programme period as a whole (programming, financial management, audit, etcetera), the guidelines should focus more on technical and practical aspects of the Commission’s interpretation of the regulations. 
Uredbe zagotavljajo splošen okvir za programsko obdobje kot celoto (programsko načrtovanje, finančno poslovodenje, revidiranje itd.), smernice pa bi morale biti bolj osredotočene na tehnične in praktične vidike tega, kako si Komisija razlaga uredbe.
The Commission’s guidelines facilitated understanding of the rules applicable to closure in both policy areas 70 Our review of the legal framework showed that, for both policy areas, the rules on closure need to be taken from different regulations33. 
Smernice Komisije so pomagale pri razumevanju pravil, ki veljajo za zaključevanje, na obeh področjih 70 Naš pregled pravnega okvira je pokazal, da je treba na obeh področjih pravila o zaključevanju jemati iz različnih uredb33.
This is especially the case for rural development, where the many regulations relevant to closure add to the complexity. 
To še posebno velja za področje razvoja podeželja, na katerem zapletenost dodatno povečuje veliko število uredb, ki se nanašajo na zaključevanje.
Moreover, the financial aspects of the 2007-2013 closure process are covered by the new regulations adopted in 2013 and 2014 for the 2014-2020 period34, while the eligibility conditions for expenditure are set out in the regulations for the 2007-2013 period35. 
Poleg tega so finančni vidiki procesa zaključevanja za obdobje 2007–2013 zajeti v novih uredbah, ki so bile v letih 2013 in 2014 sprejete za obdobje 2014–202034, pogoji za upravičenost odhodkov pa so določeni v uredbah za obdobje 2007–201335.
Control arrangements36 and transitional rules37 are covered by still other regulations. 
Ureditve za kontroliranje36 in prehodna pravila37 so zajeti v drugih uredbah.
33 The regulations defining the closure arrangements in the respective policy areas are listed in Annex I. 34 Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 907/2014 of 11 March 2014 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to paying agencies and other bodies, financial management, clearance of accounts, securities and use of euro (OJ L 255, 28.8.2014, p. 18) and Regulation (EU) No 908/2014.

Observations 39 71 For both policy areas, however, the Commission addressed the complexity of the legal framework by preparing closure guidelines. 
Opažanja 39 71 Komisija je za obe področji obravnavala zapletenost pravnega okvira, tako da je pripravila smernice o zaključevanju.
These summarise the key requirements and deadlines of the process and provide further clarifications, which were welcomed by the majority of the authorities involved in the closure exercise. 
V njih so povzete ključne zahteve in roki procesa ter navedena dodatna pojasnila, kar je pozdravila večina organov, ki sodelujejo pri zaključevanju.
72 Overall, we found that the Commission had issued comprehensive guidelines clarifying the applicable provisions in the regulations for both areas. 
72 Na splošno smo ugotovili, da je Komisija izdala izčrpne smernice, ki razjasnjujejo veljavne določbe v uredbah za obe področji.

Observations 40 73 In both policy areas, the guidelines add clarifications and practical guidance on matters that were not covered in detail or were not sufficiently clear in the regulations. 
Opažanja 40 73 Smernice na obeh področjih dodajajo razjasnitve in praktično usmerjanje glede zadev, ki niso bile podrobno zajete v uredbe ali v njih niso bile dovolj jasne.
74 Almost all the authorities in both policy areas which participated in the survey considered that the Commission provided the guidelines sufficiently ahead of time to prepare for closure. 
74 Skoraj vsi organi za obe področji, ki so sodelovali v anketi, so menili, da je Komisija zagotovila smernice pravočasno za pripravo na zaključevanje.
Two thirds of the respondents indicated that the guidelines clarified many issues which were not sufficiently addressed in the regulations (see Figure 5). 
Dve tretjini anketirancev sta navedli, da so smernice razjasnile marsikaj, kar v uredbah ni bilo dovolj obravnavano (glej sliko 5).
Almost all authorities also found the guidelines to be clear regarding the organisation of closure, including responsibilities and deadlines. 
Skoraj vsi organi so tudi menili, da so smernice jasne glede organizacije zaključevanja, vključno z odgovornostmi in roki.
75 Around one fifth of the surveyed authorities indicated that they still needed further guidance or clarification on specific issues. 
75 Približno petina anketiranih organov je navedla, da še vedno potrebujejo dodatne smernice ali pojasnila o posameznih zadevah.
The areas for which 15 % or more of the respondents considered the guidance to be unclear or rather unclear are set out in Annex IV.

Observations 41 The absence of deadlines for certain aspects of the closure process could imperil the completion of closure on time 76 Clear deadlines are an important feature of the rules governing closure, as they help to ensure that tasks are completed on time and the closure process as a whole is effective. 
Opažanja 41 Za nekatere vidike procesa zaključevanja niso določeni roki, zato je mogoče, da zaključevanje ne bo končano pravočasno 76 Jasni roki so pomemben del pravil, ki urejajo zaključevanje, saj pomagajo zagotoviti, da so naloge končane pravočasno in da je proces zaključevanja kot celota uspešen.
77 Overall, the regulations included deadlines for most aspects, but in three areas there were no deadlines: for Member States’ replies to Commission questions on the closure documents, for the Commission’s approval of major projects, and for the public contribution paid by Member States to beneficiaries in the cohesion area. 
77 Na splošno so uredbe vsebovale roke za večino vidikov, toda na treh področjih rokov ni bilo: za odgovore držav članic na vprašanja Komisije o dokumentih o zaključku, za to, kdaj Komisija odobri velike projekte, in za javni prispevek, ki ga države članice izplačujejo upravičencem na področju kohezije.
No deadline in the regulations for Member State replies to Commission questions: risk of protracting closure 78 If the closure documents are of good quality, the provisions in the regulations are sufficient to guarantee closure on schedule. 
V uredbah ni določen rok, v katerem bi morale države članice odgovoriti na vprašanja Komisije: tveganje, da se bo zaključevanje zavleklo 78 Če so dokumenti o zaključku kakovostni, določbe uredb zadoščajo za zagotovitev pravočasnega zaključka.
However, if the Commission is not satisfied with the information provided by a Member State, the absence of a timeframe in the regulation for replies to the Commission’s questions could further protract the closure process. 
Če Komisija ni zadovoljna z informacijami, ki jih je zagotovila država članica, pa se lahko zato, ker v uredbah ni roka za odgovore na vprašanja Komisije, proces zaključevanja dodatno podaljša.
79 None of the regulations for the 2007-2013 period specify a deadline for Member States to reply to Commission questions on the closure documents. 
79 V nobeni od uredb za obdobje 2007–2013 ni določen rok, v katerem bi morale države članice odgovoriti na vprašanja Komisije v zvezi z dokumenti o zaključku.
In cohesion, the guidelines set a deadline of 2 months in this respect, extendable on request by two more; the rural development guidelines contain no such provision. 
Na področju kohezije je v smernicah za to določen rok dveh mesecev, ki ga je na zahtevo mogoče podaljšati še za dva meseca. V smernicah za področje razvoja podeželja tovrstne določbe ni.
Observations 42 No deadline for the submission and approval of major projects in cohesion: complicates closure and poses a risk to the spending of funds 80 For the 2007-2013 period, major projects in the cohesion area were defined as operations with a total cost exceeding 50 million euros38. 
Opažanja 42 Ni roka za predložitev in odobritev velikih projektov na področju kohezije: to zapleta zaključevanje in povzroča tveganje za porabo sredstev 80 Za obdobje 2007–2013 so bili veliki projekti na področju kohezije opredeljeni kot operacije, katerih skupni stroški presegajo 50 milijonov EUR38.
As such projects involve significant EU funding, they had to be appraised and approved for financing by the Commission39. 
Ti projekti zajemajo znatno financiranje EU, zato jih je morala Komisija oceniti in jih odobriti za financiranje39.
81 The regulatory framework for the 2007-2013 period contained no deadline for the submission of major project applications and, in practice, no final deadline for the Commission to adopt the related decisions. 
81 Regulativni okvir za obdobje 2007–2013 ni vseboval nobenega roka za predložitev vlog za velike projekte, v praksi pa tudi ne končnega roka, v katerem bi morala Komisija sprejeti s tem povezane odločitve.
As of 15 November 2016, 19 major project applications from seven Member States were still pending approval by DG REGIO. 
15. novembra 2016 je na odobritev GD REGIO še vedno čakalo 19 vlog za velike projekte iz sedmih držav članic.
The associated total eligible cost of these projects was 1 billion euros and the EU contribution was 854 million euros. 
S tem povezani skupni upravičeni stroški teh projektov so znašali 1 milijardo EUR, prispevek EU pa 854 milijonov EUR.
82 A pending major project decision complicates the closure of an OP, as the managing and audit authorities do not know how to handle the expenditure in question when preparing the closure documents. 
82 Dokler odločitev o velikem projektu ni sprejeta, to zapleta zaključevanje operativnega programa, saj organi upravljanja in revizijski organi ne vedo, kako naj pri pripravi dokumentov o zaključku obravnavajo zadevne odhodke.
Pending decisions also create legal uncertainty for the Member State. 
Čakanje na odločitev tudi povzroča pravno negotovost za državo članico.
In particular, with the closure deadline approaching, if the Commission rejects a major project there is an increased risk that the Member State will not be able to replace it with other eligible expenditure, which may lead to difficulties in fully using up the EU contribution. 
Zlasti se v primeru, da Komisija zavrne veliki projekt malo pred rokom za zaključek, poveča tveganje, da država članica tega ne bo mogla nadomestiti z drugimi odhodki, ki so upravičeni, zato bo prispevek EU težko v celoti porabiti.
83 For the 2014-2020 period, expenditure relating to a major project may be included in a request for payment40 if the Commission is first notified of a positive appraisal by independent experts or after the submission for approval by the Commission. 
83 Za obdobje 2014–2020 je mogoče odhodke, povezane z velikim projektom, zajeti v zahtevek za plačilo40, če se Komisija pred tem obvesti o pozitivni oceni neodvisnih strokovnjakov ali po predložitvi Komisiji v odobritev.
