V. third indent while there were limited weaknesses in setting grant rates in the past, resulting from deficiencies in the cost-benefit analyses (cbas), the legal framework and the commission’s guidelines have been strengthened for the 2007–13 period. the commission also notes the length of time needed for the full functioning of such complex infrastructure projects. 
V. tretja alinea ker je bilo v preteklosti nekaj pomanjkljivosti pri določanju stopenj donacij zaradi pomanjkljivosti pri analizah stroškov in koristi, sta bila za obdobje 2007–2013 okrepljena pravni okvir in smernice komisije. komisija opozarja tudi na to, da je za polno obratovanje takšnih kompleksnih infrastrukturnih projektov potrebno dosti časa.
VI. first indent the commission agrees that the identified issues are important elements to ensure the overall sustainability of the regions concerned. the commission considers that the progressive implementation of the water framework directive will significantly contribute towards addressing these issues. rEply of thE coMMIssIon VI. second indent the commission considers that the progressive implementation of the water framework directive, which was not applicable for the audited projects and period, in particular the principle of recovery of the costs of water services, will contribute significantly towards increasing the efficient use of EU funds as regards water supply projects. the commission will scrutinise the implementation by Member states of this principle. 
VI. Prva alinea komisija se strinja, da so ugotovitve Sodišča pomembni elementi pri zagotavljanju splošne trajnostne naravnanosti zadevnih območij. komisija meni, da bo postopno izvajanje okvirne direktive o vodah pomembno prispevalo k reševanju teh vprašanj. odgovorI koMISIje VI. druga alinea komisija meni, da bo postopno izvajanje okvirne direktive o vodah, ki za revidirane projekte in v zadevnem obdobju še ni veljala, zlasti načela povračila stroškov storitev za rabo vode, pomembno prispevalo k vse bolj učinkoviti porabi sredstev eu v zvezi s projekti oskrbe z vodo. komisija bo natančno preverila, kako države članice izvajajo to načelo. v sporočilu o pomanjkanju vode in suši, sprejetem leta 2007, je komisija poudarila, kako pomembno je določanje in izvajanje preventivnih ukrepov (tj. varčevanje z vodo, alternativne rešitve, politika določanja cen vode).
VI. third indent the commission supports such an objective. 
VI. tretja alinea komisija podpira takšen cilj.
Investments in water infrastructures are complex projects, which are often developed in phases. while short delays may be justified in building and linking infrastructures, the commission agrees with the court that such delays should be avoided or reduced. the correct implementation of the directives on environmental assessment of plans and programmes (directive 2001/42/Ec) and of projects (directive 85/337/EEc, as amended) are relevant in this regard. 
Naložbe v infrastrukturo za oskrbo z vodo so kompleksni projekti, ki se velikokrat razvijajo v fazah. čeprav so lahko kratke zamude pri gradnji in povezovanju infrastruktur upravičene, se komisija strinja s Sodiščem, da bi se morali takšnim zamudam izogibati ali jih zmanjšati. v tem pogledu je pomembno tudi pravilno izvajanje direktiv o presoji vplivov načrtov in programov (direktiva 2001/42/eS) ter projektov (direktiva 85/337/egS, kakor je bila spremenjena) na okolje.
50 VI. fifth indent the regulatory framework for 2007–13 has reinforced the procedure for submission, analysis, approval and monitoring of major projects. the commission has taken specific steps to strengthen the cost-benefit analysis (cba) framework and financing gap analysis by making available to Member states specific guidance and tools. 
50 VI. Peta alinea regulativni okvir za obdobje 2007–2013 je okrepil postopke za predložitev, analizo, odobritev in spremljanje velikih projektov. komisija je sprejela posamezne ukrepe za okrepitev okvira analize stroškov in koristi ter analize finančne vrzeli. državam članicam je namreč dala na razpolago posebna navodila in orodja.
In 2008, it published an update of the cost-benefit analysis guide, which includes a methodology to be applied systematically by the Member states. two guidance notes were also published on cba and on revenue generating projects. the commission considers that these steps improve significantly the quality of cbas submitted by the Member states. 
Leta 2008 je objavila posodobljeno različico navodil za analizo stroškov in koristi, ki vključuje metodologijo, ki jo morajo države članice sistematično uporabljati. o analizi stroškov in koristi ter projektih, ki ustvarjajo prihodek, sta bili objavljeni tudi dve navodili. komisija meni, da se s temi ukrepi bistveno izboljšuje kakovost analiz stroškov in koristi, ki jih predložijo države članice. odgovorI koMISIje 8. komisija na podlagi direktive 85/337/egS o presoji vplivov na okolje, kakor je bila spremenjena, upošteva rezultate okoljske presoje, ki jo izvedejo pristojni nacionalni organi pred odobritvijo projekta. presoja vplivov na okolje / okoljevar-stveno soglasje vsebuje vse ustrezne okoljske informacije, temelji pa na več tehničnih študijah. odobritev projektov kohezijskega sklada, velikih projektov in operativnih programov je odvisna od pozitivnega mnenja več zadevnih generalnih direktoratov, vključno z generalnim direktoratom za okolje, ki podrobneje pozna to področje in preučuje posebne vidike izvajanja različnih direktiv v državah članicah, vključno z vidikom gospodarjenja z vodami in drugimi okoljskimi vidiki.
IntroductIon 2. the commission notes that the needs and challenges in water supply and resources’ planning are much more important in southern Europe2. this element is equally taken into account in the overall planning and allocation of funds in negotiations with Member states. 
UVOd 2. komisija ugotavlja, da so potrebe in izzivi pri oskrbi z vodo in načrtovanju virov veliko večji v južni evropi2. ta element se prav tako upošteva pri splošnem načrtovanju in dodeljevanju sredstev v pogajanjih z državami članicami.
3. the individual projects subject to the court’s audit were not covered by the water framework directive as its substantial obligations were to be implemented by the end of 2009. 
3. posamezni projekti, ki jih je revidiralo Sodišče, niso bili zajeti v področje uporabe okvirne direktive o vodah, saj je bilo treba njene bistvene obveznosti izvesti do konca leta 2009.
24. the commission refers to its reply to paragraph 23. It is true that actual data show that there is a downward trend in water consumption, contrary to the ex ante evaluations. however, this essential element confirmed in early 2000 could not always be taken into account for the audited projects. special report no 9/2010 – Is EU structural measures spending on the supply of water for domestic consumption used to best effect? 
24. komisija se sklicuje na svoj odgovor na odstavek 23. res je, da podatki kažejo na trend zmanjševanja porabe vode, kar je v nasprotju s predhodnimi ocenami. vendar tega ključnega elementa, ki je bil potrjen na začetku leta 2000, pri revidiranih projektih ni bilo mogoče vedno upoštevati. posebno poročilo št.
30. for the period 2007–13, the commission has developed a checklist for internal use during major water and waste water projects’ appraisal, for assessing consistency with the environmental acquis and policy. however, only major projects are now subject to a commission decision (projects in this sector - above 50 million euro). 
30. komisija je za obdobje 2007–2013 pripravila kontrolni seznam za notranjo uporabo pri ocenjevanju velikih projektov, povezanih z vodo ali odpadno vodo, z namenom, da se oceni njihova usklajenost s „pravnim redom“ in politikami na okoljskem področju. vendar komisija zdaj sprejema sklepe le za velike projekte (projekte v tem sektorju z investicijskimi stroški nad 50 milijonov eur).
31. the commission’s review of projects is based on socioeconomic factors, the coherence and consistency of the project, the degree of maturity and deliverability, using techniques such as cost-benefit analysis and internal rate of return. the commission carries out the final evaluation based on the fact that the project is operational and in conformity with the initial decision. 
31. komisijin pregled projektov temelji na socioekonomskih dejavnikih, celovitosti in skladnosti projekta, stopnji zrelosti in izvedljivosti, uporabi tehnik, kot sta analiza stroškov in koristi in notranja stopnja donosa. komisija opravi končno oceno na podlagi dejstva, da je projekt operativen in v skladu s prvotnim sklepom. posebno poročilo št.
53 In addition, the guide to cost-benefit analysis issued in 2002 provides specific guidance on the design and development of water supply projects. furthermore, the commission communication in relation to water scarcity and droughts was adopted in 2007. the commission also refers to its reply to paragraph 25. 
53 poleg tega priročnik za analizo stroškov in koristi, izdan leta 2002, vsebuje posebne smernice glede priprave in razvoja projektov oskrbe z vodo. poleg tega je bilo leta 2007 sprejeto Sporočilo komisije o pomanjkanju vode in suši. komisija se sklicuje tudi na svoj odgovor na odstavek 25.
33. with regard to the inclusion of a specific condition (monitoring of the application of the directives on the protection of surface and underground waters), this condition is redundant, as it simply repeats obligations resulting from existing EU legislation. this type of condition is therefore no longer used. however, this does not mean that the commission does not verify the implementation of the relevant EU legislation; on the basis of the provisions of the relevant environmental directives, the commission assesses the data reported and, if required, it takes action to ensure compliance with the EU environmental standards laid down. 
33. posebni pogoj (spremljanje uporabe direktiv o varstvu površinskih voda in podtalnice), ki naj bi se vključil, je odveč, saj le ponavlja obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz obstoječe zakonodaje eu. ta vrsta pogoja se zato ne uporablja več. vendar to ne pomeni, da komisija ne preverja izvajanja ustrezne zakonodaje eu. komisija na podlagi določb zadevnih okoljskih direktiv oceni sporočene podatke in po potrebi sprejme ukrepe za zagotovitev skladnosti s predpisanimi okoljskimi standardi eu.
35. (a) procedures for approving projects under the cohesion policy for the 2007–13 programming period have been significantly reinforced. compared to previous programming periods, the cohesion fund is better integrated into programming, enabling a more strategic approach to the development of co-financed projects, including major projects (i.e. projects with investment costs of over 50 million euro (cohesion fund regulation (Ec) no 1084/2006)). the legal definition of major projects and the information to be submitted by the Member states to the commission was strengthened (articles 39 and 40 of regulation (Ec) no 1083/2006). rEply of thE coMMIssIon the EU jaspers facility provides technical assistance to the new Member states when they are preparing to submit major projects to the commission. there is a contract with outside sectoral experts who can be consulted on technical and socioeconomic aspects of project applications. 
35. (a) postopki za odobritev projektov v okviru kohezijske politike za programsko obdobje 2007–2013 so bili znatno okrepljeni. v primerjavi s prejšnjimi programskimi obdobji je kohezijski sklad bolje vključen v načrtovanje, kar omogoča bolj strateški pristop k razvoju sofinanciranih projektov, vključno z velikimi projekti (tj. projekti z investicijskimi stroški nad 50 milijonov eur (uredba o kohezijskem skladu št. 1084/2006)). okrepljene so bile pravna opredelitev velikih projektov in informacije, ki jih morajo države članice predložiti komisiji (člena 39 in 40 uredbe št. 1083/2006). odgovorI koMISIje Sistem evropske unije jaspers zagotavlja tehnično pomoč novim državam članicam, ko se pripravljajo na predložitev velikih projektov komisiji.
40. the commission agrees with the court that the systematic use of the indicators to measure the achievement of projects’ objectives is central to a well-functioning monitoring and evaluation system. however, not all objectives can be quantified. 
40. komisija se strinja s Sodiščem, da je sistematična uporaba kazalnikov za izmero izpolnjevanja ciljev projektov osrednjega pomena za dobro delujoč sistem spremljanja in ocenjevanja. vendar se vseh ciljev ne da količinsko opredeliti.
41–42. the commission welcomes the observation that all projects audited were physically implemented as planned, despite minor variations, and that the projects contributed to improve the water supply. 
41–42. komisija pozdravlja ugotovitev, da so bili vsi revidirani projekti kljub manjšim odstopanjem fizično izvedeni po načrtih ter da so prispevali k izboljšanju oskrbe z vodo.
Member states have the obligation to inform the commission at closure on the unfinished or non-operational projects and undertake to complete or render them operational. nonetheless, for Erdf projects they have to observe this obligation two years after the deadlines for closure. thus, only at that time will the commission be in the position to establish whether those projects are operational and eligible for co-financing. see reply to box 7. special report no 9/2010 – Is EU structural measures spending on the supply of water for domestic consumption used to best effect? 
43. države članice so pri zaključku nedokončanih projektov ali projektov, ki ne obratujejo, obvezane komisijo obvestiti o tem in si prizadevati, da jih dokončajo oziroma da projekti začnejo obratovati. pri projektih eSrr je treba to obveznost upoštevati dve leti po rokih za zaključek projektov. tako bo komisija šele takrat lahko ugotovila, ali ti projekti obratujejo in ali so upravičeni do sofinanciranja. glej odgovor na okvir 7. posebno poročilo št. 9/2010 – Ali so sredstva eu iz strukturnih ukrepov za oskrbo z vodo za gospodinjsko uporabo porabljena učinkovito?
54 box 7. first paragraph the commission notes the length of time needed for the full functioning of such complex infrastructure projects. this is one of the limitations in projects with multiple stages or major projects which cover only parts of an infrastructure network. In this specific case, an important distribution network to convey water from the desalination plant has been put in operation in june 2010. as a result, it is expected that the degree of utilisation of the plant will substantially increase. this trend will continue, as new complementary infrastructure is put in place. box 7. second paragraph the commission notes that it is the national authorities’ responsibility to ensure projects’ operability, functionality and compliance with EU policies. the commission verifies that these rules are observed at the latest at closure. 
54 Okvir 7, prvi odstavek komisija opozarja na to, da je za polno obratovanje takšnih kompleksnih infrastrukturnih projektov potrebno dosti časa. to je ena od omejitev pri projektih, ki se izvajajo v več fazah, ali pri velikih projektih, ki zajemajo le dele infrastrukturnega omrežja. v tem posameznem primeru je junija 2010 začelo obratovati pomembno distribucijsko omrežje za prenos vode iz obrata za razsoljevanje. uporaba obrata naj bi se posledično znatno povečala. ta trend se bo nadaljeval z vzpostavljanjem nove dopolnilne infrastrukture.
In this case, the greek authorities carried out the necessary procedures for selecting a designer for the equipment in the water treatment plant. the contract signed in december 2009 provides for completion of the design of the necessary layout and water purification equipment within 80 calendar days. the contract for additional works will be signed subsequently, with the aim of completing the work within 2010. rEply of thE coMMIssIon 46. the commission carries out the final evaluation based on the confirmation by the Member state authorities in the closure documents that the project is operational and in conformity with the initial decision. national authorities are obliged to certify therein that projects are completed and operational. 
Okvir 7, drugi odstavek komisija opozarja, da so za obratovanje in funkcionalnost projektov ter njihovo skladnost s politikami eu odgovorni nacionalni organi. komisija najpozneje ob zaključku projektov preveri, da so ta pravila upoštevana. v navedenem primeru so grški organi izvedli potrebne postopke za izbiro projektanta opreme v čistilni napravi. pogodba, podpisana decembra 2009, določa zaključek projektiranja potrebnega načrta in opreme za čiščenje vode v 80 koledarskih dneh.
Each co-financed project should meet the objectives laid down in the request for co-financing and in the co-financing decision. where the closure documents are submitted according to applicable rules and the Member state certifies the operability of projects, the commission has the legitimacy to make the final payments. the proper subsequent operation of the co-funded projects is not in the scope of the evaluation of cohesion policy, but falls under the general EU legislation. 
Nacionalni organi morajo v dokumentaciji potrditi, da so projekti zaključeni in da obratujejo. vsak sofinancirani projekt bi moral izpolnjevati cilje iz zahtevka za sofinanciranje in iz sklepa o sofinanciranju. če je dokumentacija o zaključku projekta predložena v skladu z veljavnimi pravili in država članica potrdi, da projekt obratuje, ima komisija pravno podlago za izplačilo končnih plačil. pravilno poznejše obratovanje sofinanciranega projekta ne sodi v področje uporabe kohezijske politike in se ne ocenjuje v njenem okviru, ampak sodi v področje splošne zakonodaje eu.
47. In one of the cases, the commission has not yet closed the project. 
47. v enem od primerov komisija projekta še ni zaključila. pri zaključevanju projekta bo preverila zahtevano izvajanje ukrepov, da bi se zmanjšalo onesnaževanje.
55 52. the commission supports the court’s position that cost overruns should be avoided as much as possible. however, it notes that in 80 % of cases the cost increases were less than 30 %. academic research reports that large infrastructure projects are very complex undertakings and, historically, escalations of costs significantly beyond initial budgets are very common. such cost overruns may exceed 50 % and reach 100 % in real terms. 
9/2010 – Ali so sredstva eu iz strukturnih ukrepov za oskrbo z vodo za gospodinjsko uporabo porabljena učinkovito? 55 52. komisija se pridružuje stališču Sodišča, da se je treba prekoračitvam stroškov kolikor je mogoče izogibati. vendar ugotavlja, da so bila v 80 % primerov zvišanja stroškov manj kot 30-odstotna.
Member states are in charge of defining the capacity of the proposed infrastructures, according to the expected demand. the life-cycle of most of these infrastructures being measured in terms of decades, an assessment of their operating rate should accordingly also be seen under this longer-term perspective. 
55. države članice so pristojne za opredelitev zmogljivosti predlagane infrastrukture v skladu s pričakovanim povpraševanjem. življenjski cikel večine infrastruktur se meri v desetletjih, zato bi bilo treba tudi njihovo stopnjo obratovanja ocenjevati v skladu s tem dolgoročnim vidikom.
57. (a) within the audited sample actually only one project out of seven, or 14 %, operates at low level. 
57. (a) v revidiranem vzorcu je stopnja obratovanja nizka dejansko samo pri enem od sedmih projektov, tj. 14 %.
58. (a) the commission refers to its reply to paragraph 55. box 8. first paragraph the commission underlines that it is Member states’ responsibility to select and monitor Erdf co-financed projects in the framework of operational programmes. the commission approves only major projects. 
58. (a) komisija se sklicuje na svoj odgovor na odstavek 55. Okvir 8, prvi odstavek komisija poudarja, da so države članice pristojne za izbiro in spremljanje sofinanciranih projektov iz eSrr v okviru operativnih programov. komisija odobri le velike projekte. v tem okviru ni pristojna za morebitne nasprotujoče si strategije med administracijami na regionalni in lokalni ravni. odgovorI koMISIje 60. komisija priznava, da je bilo nekaj pomanjkljivosti pri določanju stopenj donacij v preteklosti, deloma tudi zaradi regulativnega okvira. v členu 40 uredbe št.
In this context, possible conflicting strategies between regional and local level administrations fall beyond the commission’s scope of competence. rEply of thE coMMIssIon 60. the commission recognises that there were some weaknesses in setting grant rates in the past in part due also to the regulatory framework. the application of article 40 of regulation (Ec) no 1083/2006 provides for a systematic use of the cba for major projects. while examining major project applications for the 2007–13 programming period, the commission verifies whether the cba methodology has been consistently followed. Unlike the previous programming period the commission is not appraising cohesion fund projects below the 50 million euro threshold. 
1083/2006 je določena sistematična uporaba analize stroškov in koristi za velike projekte. pri preučevanju vlog za velike projekte za programsko obdobje 2007–2013 komisija preverja, ali se je metodologija analize stroškov in koristi dosledno upoštevala. v nasprotju s prejšnjim programskim obdobjem komisija ne ocenjuje projektov kohezijskega sklada z investicijskimi stroški pod pragom 50 milijonov eur. države članice so pristojne za pravilno izvajanje analize stroškov in koristi in za oceno finančne vrzeli za vsak projekt. komisija je za obdobje 2007–2013 objavila dve navodili, in sicer delovni dokument št. 4, „Navodilo za uporabo metodologije pri izdelavi analize stroškov in koristi“ ter „Navodilo za uporabo člena 55 uredbe Sveta (eS) št.
It did not apply in the same way for the period 2000–06 for the Erdf, where for projects generating substantial net revenues maximum co-financing rates were established. special report no 9/2010 – Is EU structural measures spending on the supply of water for domestic consumption used to best effect? 
Metodologija finančne vrzeli je jasno določena v členu 55 uredbe št. 1083/2006, ki se uporablja za obdobje 2007–2013. Metodologija se v obdobju 2000–2006 ni enako uporabljala za eSrr, pri katerem so bile za projekte z velikimi neto prihodki določene najvišje možne stopnje sofinanciranja. posebno poročilo št.
56 61. for the Erdf, the rates of assistance had to be set according to article 29(4) of regulation (Ec) no 1260/1999. these rules allowed for flexibility in setting co-financing rates. 
56 61. pri eSrr je bilo treba stopnje pomoči določiti v skladu s členom 29(4) uredbe št.
In the cohesion fund the flexibility allowed by the regulation was even greater than for the Erdf. the commission’s guidance on revenue generating projects strived for maximum consistency in the methods applied, especially within a given Member state. 
1260/1999. ta pravila so omogočala prilagodljivo določanje stopenj sofinanciranja. uredba je pri sofinanciranju v okviru kohezijskega sklada dopuščala celo več prilagodljivosti kot pri sofinanciranju iz eSrr. Navodila komisije o projektih, ki ustvarjajo prihodek, so skušala doseči kar največjo doslednost pri uporabljenih metodah, zlasti znotraj zadevne države članice.
62. as Erdf projects are not subject to approval by the commission, the decisions on the co-financing rate were taken by national competent authorities. 
62. ker komisija ni pristojna za odobritev projektov eSrr, so odločitve glede stopnje sofinanciranja sprejeli pristojni nacionalni organi.
In the document the commission recommends that the Member states develop their own cba guidelines to take into account their specific institutional and economic conditions. 
4 z navodili za izvajanje analize stroškov in koristi za obdobje 2007–2013 navaja vrsto pravil za delo in okvirnih vrednosti za ključne parametre analize stroškov in koristi (npr. diskontne stopnje, referenčna obdobja). komisija v dokumentu državam članicam priporoča, naj razvijejo svoje smernice za analizo stroškov in koristi, da bodo lahko upoštevale svoje posebne institucionalne in ekonomske razmere.
