European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) The European Regional Development Fund aims to reinforce economic and social cohesion within the European Union by redressing the main regional imbalances through financial support for the creation of infrastructure and productive job‐ creating investment, mainly for businesses. 
Evropski sklad za regionalni razvoj (ESRR) Cilj Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj (ESRR) je okrepitev gospodarske in socialne kohezije v Evropski uniji, in sicer z odpravljanjem glavnih regionalnih neravnovesij s finančno podporo za izgradnjo infrastrukture in za donosne naložbe za ustvarjanje delovnih mest, v glavnem za podjetja.
European Social Fund (ESF) The European Social Fund aims to strengthen economic and social cohesion within the European Union by improving employment and job opportunities (mainly through training measures), encouraging a high level of employment and the creation of more and better jobs. 
Evropski socialni sklad (ESS) Cilj Evropskega socialnega sklada je okrepiti ekonomsko in socialno kohezijo v Evropski uniji s izboljšanjem zaposlovanja in možnosti za zaposlitev, predvsem prek ukrepov usposabljanja, ki spodbujajo visoko stopnjo zaposlenosti ter ustvarjanje več in boljših delovnih mest.
Financial correction (FC) The purpose of financial corrections is to protect the EU budget from the burden of erroneous or irregular expenditure. 
Finančni popravek Finančni popravki so namenjeni zaščiti proračuna EU pred bremenitvijo z napačnimi ali nepravilnimi odhodki.
For expenditure under shared management, the task of recovering incorrectly made payments is primarily the responsibility of the Member State. 
Pri odhodkih, za katere se uporablja deljeno upravljanje, so za izterjavo nepravilno izplačanih plačil v prvi vrsti odgovorne države članice.
Financial corrections can be implemented by the Member State through deducting irregular expenditure from the Member State’s payment claim, by the payment of a recovery order issued by the Commission, or by decommitment. 
Finančne popravke lahko države članice izvedejo bodisi tako, da nepravilne odhodke odštejejo s svojega zahtevka za plačilo, bodisi tako, da plačajo nalog za izterjavo, ki ga izda Komisija, bodisi z razveljavitvijo prevzetih obveznosti.
The deduction can take two forms: withdrawal or recovery from beneficiaries. 
Odštetje ima lahko dve obliki: preklic ali izterjava od upravičencev.
Financial correction: ex ante or ex post Ex ante financial corrections are carried out before the irregular expenditure is declared to the Commission. 
Finančni popravek: predhodni ali naknadni Predhodni finančni popravki se izvedejo, preden se nepravilni odhodki prijavijo Komisiji.
Ex post financial corrections are carried out after the irregular expenditure is declared to the Commission. 
Naknadni finančni popravki se izvedejo po tem, ko so bili nepravilni odhodki že prijavljeni Komisiji.
Irregularity An irregularity is an act which does not comply with EU rules and which has a potentially negative impact on EU financial interests, but which may be the result of genuine errors committed either by beneficiaries claiming funds or by the authorities responsible for making payments. 
Nepravilnost Nepravilnost je ravnanje, ki ni v skladu s pravili EU in lahko negativno vpliva na finančne interese EU. Lahko je posledica nenamerne napake, ki jih naredijo bodisi upravičenci, ki vložijo zahtevek za sredstva, ali organi, ki so odgovorni za izplačila.
If an irregularity is committed deliberately, it constitutes fraud. 
Če je nepravilnost storjena namerno, pomeni goljufijo.
Interruptions, Suspensions and Financial Corrections Committee (ISFCC) A specific internal committee, which provides a forum within Commission Directorates‐General to discuss matters and take decisions related to warnings, interruptions, suspensions and financial corrections Managing authority A managing authority is a national, regional or local public authority (or any other public or private body), which has been designated by a Member State to manage an operational programme. 
6 Komisija. Operativne programe je mogoče v programskem obdobju spremeniti le, če se s tem strinjata obe strani. Organ upravljanja Organ upravljanja je nacionalni, regionalni ali lokalni javni organ (ali drug javni ali zasebni organ), ki ga določi država članica za upravljanje operativnega programa.
Its tasks include selecting projects to be funded, monitoring how projects are implemented and reporting to the Commission on financial aspects and results achieved. 
Njegove naloge vključujejo izbiranje projektov za financiranje, spremljanje izvajanja projektov in poročanje Komisiji o finančnih vidikih in doseženih rezultatih.
The managing authority is also the body which imposes financial corrections on beneficiaries following audits carried out by the Commission, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) or any authority in the Member State. 
Organ upravljanja je tudi organ, ki po revizijah, ki jih opravi Komisija, Evropsko računsko sodišče ali drug organ v zadevni državi članici upravičencem naloži finančne popravke.
Management and control system The management and control system is a structure which implements and performs the control activities of an operational programme. 
Sistem upravljanja in kontrole Sistem upravljanja in kontrole je struktura, ki izvaja in izvršuje kontrolne dejavnosti operativnega programa.
In cohesion policy it consists of the managing authority (and the intermediate bodies), certifying authority and audit authority at the Member State level and the Commission. 
Na področju kohezijske politike ga sestavljajo organ upravljanja (in posredniška telesa), organ za potrjevanje, revizijski organ na ravni držav članic in Komisija.
Measures to protect the EU budget The measures to protect the EU budget comprise preventive measures (interruption, suspensions) and financial corrections 7 (having monetary impact). 
Ukrepi za zaščito proračuna EU Ukrepi za zaščito proračuna EU obsegajo preventivne ukrepe (prekinitve, začasne ustavitve) in finančne popravke (ki imajo monetarni učinek).
These measures are complemented by action plans agreed between the Commission and the Member State. 
Te ukrepe dopolnjujejo akcijski načrti, o katerih se dogovorita Komisija in država članica.
Suspension The Commission may suspend all or part of an interim payment (see Article 92 of Regulation 1083/2006) if a significant deficiency exists in the functioning of the management and control system of the Member State or uncorrected irregular expenditure have been certified in a statement of expenditure or a serious breach by the Member State of its management and control obligations occurred. 
Začasna ustavitev Komisija lahko začasno ustavi celotno vmesno plačilo ali njegov del (glej člen 92 Uredbe št.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY About cohesion policy I. Cohesion policy aims to reduce development disparities between regions, restructure declining industrial areas and encourage cross‐border, transnational and interregional cooperation in the European Union. 
POVZETEK Kohezijska politika I. Kohezijska politika je namenjena zmanjšanju razvojnih razlik med regijami, prestrukturiranju nazadujočih industrijskih območij in spodbujanju čezmejnega, mednacionalnega in medregionalnega sodelovanja v Evropski uniji.
It is the EU’s main source of funding for investments, making up some 37 % of overall spending from the EU budget. 
Je glavni vir EU za financiranje naložb in predstavlja približno 37 % skupne porabe proračuna EU.
Cohesion policy comprises two main parts: regional and urban policy and employment and social affairs. 
Kohezijska politika obsega dve glavni področji: regionalno in mestno politiko ter zaposlovanje in socialne zadeve.
Regional and urban policy is mostly implemented through the European Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund. 
Regionalna in mestna politika se večinoma izvajata v okviru Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj in Kohezijskega sklada.
Employment and social affairs are mainly financed through the European Social Fund. 
Zaposlovanje in socialne zadeve se večinoma financirajo iz Evropskega socialnega sklada.
Cohesion policy is implemented under shared management, which means that responsibility is shared between the Commission and the Member States. 
Kohezijska politika se izvaja z deljenim upravljanjem, kar pomeni, da si odgovornost delijo Komisija in države članice.
Although the Commission remains responsible for the implementation of the EU budget, the actual management and control of EU funds and programmes is delegated to Member State authorities, which select beneficiaries and distribute funds. 
Komisija sicer ostaja odgovorna za izvrševanje proračuna EU, dejansko upravljanje in kontrole skladov in programov EU pa so preneseni na organe držav članic, ki izbirajo upravičence in razdeljujejo sredstva.
It is the Member States’ responsibility to detect, correct and prevent errors in the first instance. 
Za odkrivanje, popravljanje in preprečevanje napak so na prvi stopnji odgovorne države članice.
If the Commission finds that irregular expenditure was co‐financed or likely to be co‐financed, it can intervene and correct expenditure already co‐financed or can prevent its future co‐financing. 
Če Komisija ugotovi, da so bili ali bi lahko bili sofinancirani nepravilni odhodki, lahko ukrepa in popravi že sofinancirane odhodke ali prepreči, da se sofinancirajo v prihodnje.
V. The Commission can apply preventive measures and/or financial corrections on the basis of irregularities or serious deficiencies identified by Member State authorities, on the basis of its own verifications and audits, OLAF investigations and as a result of audits by the European Court of Auditors. 9 
V. Komisija lahko na podlagi nepravilnosti ali hudih pomanjkljivosti, ki jih ugotovijo organi držav članic, na podlagi lastnih preverjanj in revizij, preiskav urada OLAF ali na podlagi rezultatov revizij Evropskega računskega Sodišča izvede preventivne ukrepe in/ali finančne popravke.
How we conducted our audit VI. 
Kako smo opravili revizijo VI.
We assessed whether the Commission’s preventive measures and financial corrections were effective in protecting the EU budget from co‐financing irregular expenditure in Cohesion. 
Sodišče je ocenilo, ali so preventivni ukrepi in finančni popravki Komisije uspešno ščitili proračun EU pred sofinanciranjem nepravilnih odhodkov na področju kohezije.
We focussed on the 2007‐2013 programme period. 
smo se na programsko obdobje 2007–2013.
In addition, we also made a comparison with the 2000‐2006 programme period and assessed the likely impact of the changes in the regulations for 2014‐2020. 
Opravili smo tudi primerjavo s programskim obdobjem 2000–2006 in ocenili verjeten učinek sprememb v uredbah za obdobje 2014– 2020.
Our audit included: - a review of relevant Commission guidelines, publications and reports and an assessment of the Commission’s internal procedures for the 2007‐2013 period; - a comparative analysis of preventive measures and financial corrections for the 2000‐ 2006 and 2007‐2013 periods and an assessment of the impact of financial corrections after closure of the 2000‐2006 programme period; - an examination of a sample of 72 individual cases closed by the end of 2016. These accounted for 29 % of financial corrections during the 2007‐2013 period. 
Naša revizija je zajemala: − pregled ustreznih smernic Komisije, publikacij in poročil ter oceno notranjih postopkov Komisije za obdobje 2007–2013, − primerjalno analizo preventivnih ukrepov in finančnih popravkov za obdobji 2000–2006 in 2007–2013 ter oceno učinka finančnih popravkov po zaključku programskega obdobja 2000–2006; − preučitev vzorca 72 primerov, ki so bili zaključeni do konca leta 2016 in so predstavljali 29 % finančnih popravkov v obdobju 2007–2013.
Our field work was carried out from January 2016 to November 2016. 
Delo na terenu je potekalo od januarja do novembra 2016.
What we found VII. 
Kaj smo ugotovili VII.
Overall, we found that the Commission made effective use of the measures at its disposal during the 2007‐2013 programme period to protect the EU budget from irregular expenditure. 
Sodišče je v splošnem ugotovilo, da je Komisija ukrepe, ki jih je imela na voljo v programskem obdobju 2007–2013 za zaščito proračuna EU pred nepravilnimi odhodki, uspešno uporabljala.
Financial corrections for the 2000‐2006 period amounted to 8 616 million euro or 3.8 % of the total budget. 
Finančni popravki za obdobje 2000–2006 so znašali 8 616 milijonov EUR ali 3,8 % celotnega proračuna.
For the 2007‐2013 period, the Commission used the measures at its disposal to protect the EU budget more extensively. 
V obdobju 2007–2013 je Komisija ukrepe, ki jih je imela na voljo za zaščito proračuna EU, uporabljala več kot v preteklosti.
For the 2007‐2013 period, we found that the Commission imposed its preventive measures and financial corrections in a proportionate manner and we confirmed that the Commission’s measures for the 2007‐2013 period focused on those Member States with the riskiest programmes. 
Sodišče je ugotovilo, da je Komisija svoje preventivne ukrepe in finančne popravke za obdobje 2007–2013 nalagala sorazmerno, in potrdilo, da so bili ukrepi Komisije za obdobje 2007–2013 osredotočeni na države članice z najbolj tveganimi programi.
We also found that the Commission’s assessment of weaknesses and the related financial corrections were in substance confirmed by the European Court of Justice. 10 
Sodišče je ugotovilo tudi, da je oceno Komisije v zvezi s slabostmi in z njimi povezane finančne popravke meritorno potrdilo Sodišče Evropske unije.
X. The Commission’s corrective measures put pressure on Member States to address weaknesses in their management and control systems. 
X. Popravljalni ukrepi Komisije pomenijo pritisk na države članice, naj obravnavajo slabosti v svojih sistemih upravljanja in kontrole.
However, preventive measures and financial corrections both generally deal with complex issues which take a considerable time to resolve. 
Toda s preventivnimi ukrepi in finančnimi popravki se večinoma obravnavajo kompleksne zadeve, katerih razreševanje je dolgotrajno.
The resulting payment interruptions and suspensions represent a significant financial risk for Member States. 
Prekinitve in začasne ustavitve plačil, do katerih lahko privedejo, pomenijo veliko finančno tveganje za 9 države članice.
During the 2007‐2013 period, the Commission therefore aimed to gradually lift measures to ensure that reimbursement could be resumed as soon as the necessary conditions are met. 
V obdobju 2007–2013 je Komisija zato skušala postopoma odpraviti svoje preventivne ukrepe zaradi zagotavljanja, da se povračilo iz proračuna EU lahko znova začne, takoj ko so izpolnjeni zahtevani pogoji.
We also found that the Commission faced difficulties in monitoring the implementation of financial corrections. 
Sodišče je ugotovilo tudi, da ima Komisija težave pri spremljanju izvajanja finančnih popravkov.
The information provided by the Member States on implementation in the 2007‐2013 period did not yet allow for robust monitoring. 
Informacije, ki so jih zagotovile države članice o svojem izvajanju teh finančnih popravkov v obdobju 2007–2013, še ne omogočajo zanesljivega spremljanja.
We found mixed evidence of the long‐term impact of preventive measures and financial corrections for the 2007‐2013 period. 
Sodišče je našlo mešane dokaze o dolgoročnem učinku preventivnih ukrepov in finančnih popravkov za obdobje 2007–2013.
TheCommission’sreportingonpreventivemeasuresandfinancialcorrectionsmakesit difficult to get a comprehensive overview of the situation, largely because the information is presented in several reports and documents. 
SporočanjemKomisijeopreventivnihukrepihinfinančnihpopravkihjetežkodobiti celovit pregled nad stanjem, v glavnem zato, ker so informacije predstavljene v več poročilih in dokumentih.
At the same time, not one of the Commission reports for the 2007‐2013 period provides an analytical overview of preventive measures and financial corrections. 
Hkrati pa v nobenem poročilu Komisije za obdobje 2007–2013 ni analitičnega pregleda preventivnih ukrepov in finančnih popravkov.
Representatives from the European Parliament and the Council also considered that the Commission reports do not provide enough Member State comparisons and “good practice” examples on how to prevent, detect or correct recurrent problems. 
Predstavniki Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta so menili tudi, da v poročilih Komisije ni dovolj primerjav med državami članicami in primerov dobre prakse o preprečevanju, odkrivanju in popravljanju ponavljajočih se problemov.
The regulatory provisions for the 2014‐2020 period significantly strengthen the Commission’s position on protecting the EU budget from irregular expenditure in particular through net financial corrections. This is mainly due to the fact that the Member State’s reporting on financial corrections is now integrated into the annual assurance package and examined by the respective audit authorities. 
Uredbene določbe za obdobje 2014–2020 bistveno krepijo možnosti Komisije za zaščito proračuna EU pred nepravilnimi odhodki, zlasti z neto finančnimi popravki, in sicer zato, ker je poročanje držav članic o finančnih popravkih zdaj vključeno v letni sveženj zagotovil, preučijo pa ga ustrezni revizijski organi.
Moreover, the legal provisions introduced for the 2014‐2020 period give more power to the Commission to ensure that irregular expenditure is no longer reimbursed from the EU budget. 
Poleg tega pravne določbe, ki so bile uvedene za obdobje 2014–2020, dajejo Komisiji več pooblastil za zagotavljanje, da se nepravilni odhodki ne povrnejo več iz proračuna EU.
Finally, there is increased legal certainty for Member States due to the rules being set as regulations rather than guidance. 11 
Nazadnje pa določitev pravil v uredbah in ne v smernicah prinaša tudi večjo pravno varnost za države članice.
We consider that these arrangements are a significant improvement in the design of the system. 
Sodišče meni, da so te ureditve bistvena izboljšava v zasnovi sistema.
What we recommend XV. 
Kaj Sodišče priporoča XV.
The Commission should: - apply a strict approach to financial corrections at the closure of the 2007‐2013 period (from March 2017) to ensure that the total amounts reimbursed by the EU budget are free from material levels of irregular expenditure. - issue an ad‐hoc report on the financial corrections and status of closure of the ERDF/CF and ESF programmes (at latest by mid‐2019) similar to the report prepared in 2013 for the 2000‐2006 period. 
Komisija naj: − uporablja strog pristop k finančnim popravkom ob zaključku obdobja 2007–2013, da bi zagotovila, da v skupnih zneskih, povrnjenih iz proračuna EU, ni pomembnih stopenj nepravilnih odhodkov, 10 − objavi ad hoc poročilo o finančnih popravkih in stanju zaključevanja programov ESRR/Kohezijskega sklada in ESS (najkasneje do sredine leta 2019), ki bo podobno poročilu za obdobje 2000–2006, ki ga je pripravila leta 2013.
This report should present and compare all information on preventive and corrective measures by fund and Member State and display the impact of financial corrections and the residual risk rate. - set up an integrated monitoring system for the 2014‐2020 period covering both preventive measures and financial corrections by 2019. - make effective use of the significantly strengthened provision for the 2014‐2020 period with immediate effect and impose net financial corrections wherever necessary on the basis of its own checks and/or the audits we carry out. 12 
Poročilo naj obsega predstavitev in primerjavo vseh informacij o preventivnih in popravljalnih ukrepih za posamezne sklade in države članice ter navedbo učinka finančnih popravkov in stopnje preostalega tveganja, − vzpostavi celovit sistem spremljanja za obdobje 2014–2020, ki bo zajel preventivne ukrepe in finančne popravke do leta 2019, − takoj začne uspešno uporabljati bistveno okrepljene določbe za obdobje 2014–2020 in po potrebi naloži neto finančne popravke na podlagi lastnih pregledov in/ali revizij, ki jih je opravilo Evropsko računsko sodišče. 11
INTRODUCTION Cohesion policy is the EU’s main source of funding for investments Policy objectives, budget and funds 1. 
UVOD Kohezijska politika je glavni vir EU za financiranje naložb Cilji, proračun in sredstva politike 1.
Cohesion policy aims to reduce development disparities between regions, restructure declining industrial areas and encourage cross‐border, transnational and interregional cooperation in the European Union (EU). 
Kohezijska politika je namenjena zmanjšanju razvojnih razlik med regijami, prestrukturiranju nazadujočih industrijskih območij in spodbujanju čezmejnega, mednacionalnega in medregionalnega sodelovanja v Evropski uniji (EU).
Cohesion expenditure makes up around 37 % of the overall spending from the EU budget. 
Odhodki za kohezijo predstavljajo približno 37 % celotne porabe proračuna EU.
The funds allocated to cohesion policy, the EU’s main investment policy, were around 230 billion euro in the 2000‐2006 programme period; around 346 billion euro in the 2007‐2013 programme period and around 349 billion euro in the 2014‐2020 period 3. 
Sredstva, dodeljena kohezijski politiki, ki je glavna naložbena politika EU, so v programskem obdobju 2000–2006 znašala približno 230 milijard EUR, v programskem obdobju 2007– 2013 346 milijard EUR, v programskem obdobju 2014–2020 pa znašajo približno 349 milijard EUR. 3.
The regional and urban policy is mostly implemented through the European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF); while the employment and social affairs are mainly financed through the European Social Fund (ESF). 
Regionalna in mestna politika EU se večinoma izvaja v okviru Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj (ESRR) in Kohezijskega sklada, področje zaposlovanja in socialnih zadev pa se večinoma financira iz Evropskega socialnega sklada (ESS).
