Recommendation 3(a) The Commission recognises the need to continue updating the knowledge. 
Priporočilo 3 (a) Komisija priznava, da je treba informacije še naprej posodabljati.
In 2014, it will publish a report on ‘Setting up, managing and evaluating EU science and technology parks’ which will pro‐ vide advice and guidance and will be disseminated to managing authorities. 
Komisija bo leta 2014 objavila poročilo z naslovom „Ustanavljanje, upravljanje in ocenjeva‐ nje znanstvenih in tehnoloških parkov EU“, v kate‐ rem bo zagotovila nasvete in smernice ter ki bo posredovano organom upravljanja.
Recommendation 3(b) The Commission agrees and underlines that the new orientation of the Enterprise Europe Network (ENN) (2015–21) already takes account of these recommendations. 
Priporočilo 3 (b) Komisija se strinja in poudarja, da nova usmerjenost Evropske podjetniške mreže (2015–2021) že upo‐ števa ta priporočila.
The EEN will play a role in con‐ necting regional SME support services (including incubators) to good practice at the European level. 
Evropska podjetniška mreža ima vlogo pri povezovanju regionalnih podpornih storitev za MSP (vključno z inkubatorji) in dobre prakse na evropski ravni.
In recent years, the EU has co-financed business incubator projects in the context of its cohesion policy with the support of the European Regional Development Fund. 
Evropska unija je v okviru kohezijske politike s podporo iz Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj v zadnjih letih sofinancirala projekte podjetniških inkubatorjev.
This is in line with the EU’s political priorities, especially in view of the Lisbon and Europe 2020 strategies of supporting the launch and development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as they play an important role in the creation of growth and jobs. 
To je skladno s političnimi prednostnimi nalogami EU, zlasti ob upoštevanju lizbonske strategije in strategije Evropa 2020, ki podpirata ustanavljanje in razvoj malih in srednje velikih podjetij, saj imajo ta pomembno vlogo pri ustvarjanju rasti in novih delovnih mest.
In this report, the European Court of Auditors assesses whether these business incubator projects were successful in supporting start-up SMEs. 
Evropsko računsko sodišče v tem poročilu ocenjuje, ali so ti projekti podjetniških inkubatorjev uspešno podpirali zagonska mala in srednje velika podjetja.

Executive 06 summary I IV Blending mechanisms combine loans1 from financial institutions with grants. 
Povzetek 06 I IV Mehanizmi kombiniranja združujejo posojila1 finančnih institucij z nepovratnimi sredstvi.
Blending gives grant donors the possibility of leveraging their external cooperation funds by mobilising loans from financial institutions. 
Kombiniranje dona‐ torjem nepovratnih sredstev omogoča, da z mobili‐ zacijo posojil finančnih institucij povečajo sredstva za zunanje sodelovanje.
It also allows them to have an impact on the formulation of policies and/or on the way projects are set up and managed. 
Prav tako jim omogoča, da vplivajo na oblikovanje politik in/ali na način vzposta‐ vitve in upravljanja projektov.
Furthermore, blending loans and grants can promote cooperation between stakeholders in devel‐ opment aid and can enhance the visibility of aid. 
S kombiniranjem posojil in nepovratnih sredstev se lahko prav tako spodbuja sodelovanje med deležniki na področju razvojne pomoči in okrepi prepoznavnost pomoči.
II Since 2007, the Commission and the Member States have set up eight regional investment facilities that cover the Commission’s entire sphere of external cooperation. 
II Od leta 2007 so Komisija in države članice vzpostavile osem regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov, ki zaje‐ majo celotno področje zunanjega sodelovanja Komi‐ sije.
Over the 2007–13 period, the EU allo‐ cated 2 106 million euro to such facilities. 
V obdobju 2007–2013 je EU tovrstnim skladom dodelila 2 106 milijonov EUR.
Develop‐ ment‐finance institutions identify projects and apply for grants, which are approved by executive bodies comprising the Commission, Member States and other donors. 
Institucije za financiranje razvoja opredelijo projekte in predložijo vloge za dodelitev nepovratnih sredstev, ki jih odobrijo izvršilni organi, v katerih so zastopani Komisija, države članice in drugi donatorji.
The financial institutions contract most techni‐ cal assistance and monitor the projects. 
Finančne institucije izvedejo naro‐ čila za večino tehnične pomoči in spremljajo projekte.
III The Court’s audit covered the regional investment facilities from when they were set up. 
III Revizija Sodišča je zajela regionalne naložbene instru‐ mente od njihove vzpostavitve.
The Court specifically assessed the effectiveness of blending regional investment facility grants with loans from financial institutions. 
Sodišče je ocenilo zlasti uspešnost kombiniranja nepovratnih sredstev iz regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov s posojili finančnih institucij.
The audit focused on the set‐up and management of the regional investment facilities and on the extent to which the intended benefits of blending were achieved. 
Revizija se je osredotočila na vzpostavitev in upravljanje regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov in na to, v kolikšni meri so bile dose‐ žene predvidene koristi kombiniranja virov sredstev.
The audit work consisted of an analytical review, interviews with Commission staff, a survey of 40 EU delegations, 22 of which replied, vis‐ its to the four main financial institutions and an exami‐ nation of a sample of 30 grants awarded to projects. 
V sklopu revizije so bili opravljeni analitični pregled, pogovori z uslužbenci Komisije, anketa za 40 delegacij EU, od katerih se jih je odzvalo 22, obiski v štirih glav‐ nih finančnih institucijah in preučitev vzorca, sestav‐ ljenega iz 30 projektov, za katere so bila dodeljena nepovratna sredstva.
The Court concludes that blending the regional invest‐ ment facility grants with loans from financial institu‐ tions to support EU external policies has been gener‐ ally effective. 
Sodišče ugotavlja, da je bilo kombiniranje nepovratnih sredstev v okviru regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov s posojili finančnih institucij pri podpiranju zunanjih politik EU na splošno uspešno.
The regional investment facilities were well set up but the potential benefits of blending were not fully realised due to Commission management shortcomings. 
Regionalni naložbeni instrumenti so bili vzpostavljeni dobro, vendar poten‐ cialne koristi kombiniranja zaradi pomanjkljivega upravljanja Komisije niso bile v celoti dosežene.
VThe Member States and the Commission have ensured that the regional investment facilities were properly set up and they are now firmly established. 
VDržave članice in Komisija so zagotovile, da so bili re‐ gionalni naložbeni instrumenti ustrezno vzpostavljeni, sedaj pa so že dobro uveljavljeni.
The lend‐ ing element of the funding was mainly provided by four European financial institutions, which identified the qualifying investments. 
Del financiranja, ki ga predstavljajo posojila, so večinoma zagotavljale štiri evropske finančne institucije, ki so opredelile naložbe, ki ustrezajo pogojem.
VI The 30 projects examined by the Court were all judged to be relevant for the regions and countries concerned. 
VI Po mnenju Sodišča je bilo vseh 30 preučenih projektov relevantnih za zadevne regije in države.
However, the approval process under‐ taken by the Commission was not thorough, and the decisions to award the grants, at a particular level, were frequently not convincingly evidenced. 
Vendar pa postopek odobritve, ki ga je izvajala Komisija, ni bil temeljit, odločitve o dodelitvi neposrednih sredstev na določeni ravni pa pogosto niso bile zadostno podrte z dokazi.
Guid‐ ance on what criteria the Commission should use in its decision‐making was also lacking. 
Merila, ki naj bi jih pri svojem odločanju upo‐ števala Komisija, prav tako niso bila opredeljena.
Once grants were approved, the advance disbursements were unnec‐ essarily high. The Commission’s monitoring did not ensure that the added value of grants was achieved in all cases. 
Ko so bila nepovratna sredstva odobrena, so bila vnaprejšnja izplačila nepotrebno visoka, spremljanje, ki ga je izva‐ jala Komisija, pa ni zagotovilo, da bi bila v vseh prime‐ rih dosežena dodana vrednost nepovratnih sredstev.
Executive summary 07 VII The regional investment facilities provided the devel‐ opment partners with a platform for working closely together and for undertaking very large projects, which would have been difficult to finance otherwise. 
Povzetek 07 VII Regionalni naložbeni instrumenti so razvojnim par‐ tnerjem zagotovili platformo za tesnejše sodelovanje in izvajanje zelo velikih projektov, za katere bi sicer težko pridobili sredstva.
The justification for awarding grants for blending with loans was clear in certain cases, especially where con‐ cessionality criteria had to be met. 
Utemeljitev za dodelitev nepovratnih sredstev za namene kombiniranja s poso‐ jili je bila v določenih primerih jasna, zlasti kadar je bilo treba izpolniti merila za koncesivnosti.
However, in other cases, in fact in about 50 % of the cases examined this was not evident. 
V drugih primerih, in sicer v približno 50 % pregledanih pri‐ merov, pa utemeljitev dodelitve ni bila jasna.
The Commission did not fully capital‐ ise on the potential for a positive impact on the way projects were set up or for a wider impact on sector policy. 
Komi‐ sija ni v celoti izkoristila možnosti za pozitiven vpliv na način vzpostavitve projektov ali za širši vpliv na sektorsko politiko.
The visibility of EU support has been limited so far although the Commission started to address the situation. 
Prepoznavnost podpore EU je bila do sedaj omejena, čeprav je Komisija to težavo začela obravnavati.
VIII The Court makes a number of recommendations for the Commission to improve the effectiveness of the regional investment facilities. 
VIII Sodišče daje več priporočil Komisiji za izboljšanje učinkovitosti regionalnih naložbenih instrumentov.
The recommenda‐ tions concern project selection and grant approval, disbursement of funds, monitoring of the implemen‐ tation of EU grants, and enhancing the visibility of EU aid. 
Priporočila se nanašajo na izbiro projektov in odobri‐ tev nepovratnih sredstev, izplačila sredstev, spremlja‐ nje izvrševanja nepovratnih sredstev EU ter izboljšanje prepoznavnosti pomoči EU.
Introduction 08 The potential benefits of blending external cooperation grants with loans 01 Blending mechanisms combine loans2 from financial institutions with grants. 
Uvod 08 Potencialne koristi kombi‐ niranja nepovratnih sred‐ stev in posojil v okviru zunanjega sodelovanja 01 Z mehanizmi kombiniranja se poso‐ jila2 finančnih institucij kombinirajo z nepovratnimi sredstvi.
The grants may take various forms but, in the case of EU cooperation with de‐ veloping countries, the most common types of grants are direct‐investment grants, interest‐rate subsidies, tech‐ nical assistance and loan‐guarantee schemes. 
Nepovratna sredstva so lahko številnih vrst, vendar se na področju sodelovanja EU z drža‐ vami v razvoju najpogosteje uporablja‐ jo nepovratna sredstva za neposredne naložbe, subvencije obrestnih mer, tehnična pomoč in sheme jamstev za posojila.
02 The main aim of blending mechanisms is to leverage external cooperation funds by mobilising loans from finan‐ cial institutions. 
02 Glavni namen mehanizmov kombini‐ ranja je povečati sredstva za zunanje sodelovanje z mobilizacijo posojil pri finančnih institucijah.
Blending aims, in par‐ ticular, to address sub‐optimal invest‐ ment situations in the case of activities or infrastructure that could be viable but do not attract sufficient funding from market sources. 
Namen kom‐ biniranja je zlasti poiskati rešitev za neoptimalne naložbene razmere, ko gre za dejavnosti ali infrastrukturo, ki bi lahko bile ekonomsko smiselne, vendar niso pridobile dovolj sredstev iz tržnih virov.
The following are the main reasons why projects cannot attract financiers at normal market rates: (a) they are insufficiently profitable but present high economic, envi‐ ronmental and/or social benefits; (b) they have excessive risk profiles; (c) they are located in heavily indebt‐ ed countries that are subject to International Monetary fund (IMF) requirements for loans (see Box 1). 
Glavni razlogi, da projekti po običajnih tržnih obrestnih merah ne morejo pritegniti ponudnikov financi‐ ranja, so naslednji: (a) njihova donosnost ni zadostna, vendar prinašajo velike gospodar‐ ske, okoljske in/ali družbene koristi; (b) (c) njihovi profili tveganja kažejo na prekomerno tveganost; nahajajo se v močno zadolženih državah, za katere veljajo posebne zahteve Mednarodnega denarnega sklada za posojila (glej okvir 1).
2 In addition to loans, to a lesser extent there are also other forms of non‐grant financing. 
2 Poleg posojil v manjši meri obstajajo tudi druge vrste financiranja, ki niso nepovratna sredstva.
IMF requirements for loans in heavily indebted countries The IMF requires that heavily indebted countries only contract loans with terms that are substantially more fa‐ vourable than loans at market conditions. 
Zahteve Mednarodnega denarnega sklada za posojila močno zadolženim državam Mednarodni denarni sklad zahteva, da močno zadolžene države najemajo le posojila, katerih pogoji so bistve‐ no ugodnejši od tržnih.
Such loans are referred to as concessional loans. 
Takšna posojila se imenujejo ugodna posojila.
