Overly positive and inconsistent self-assessment of ex-ante conditionalities by the Member States examined Member States perceived the ex-ante conditionalities as a useful tool for self-assessment, but the impact on the effectiveness of Cohesion spending is uncertain 38. 
Preučene države članice so pripravile preveč pozitivne in nedosledne samoocene predhodnih pogojenosti Države članice so predhodne pogojenosti dojemale kot koristno orodje za samooceno, vendar njihov vpliv na uspešnost porabe na področju kohezije ni jasen 38.
Overall, the Member States examined perceived the EACs as a useful tool for self-assessment which helped to identify a number of shortcomings. 
Preučene države članice so predhodne pogojenosti na splošno dojemale kot koristno orodje za samooceno, ki je pripomoglo k ugotavljanju številnih pomanjkljivosti.
In some cases, they were also seen as an impetus to the development of capacity for strategic planning in the country. 
V nekaterih primerih so jih videle tudi kot spodbudo za razvoj zmogljivosti za strateško načrtovanje v državi.
The ex-ante conditionalities increased awareness of the Member States’ strengths and weaknesses but their impact on the effective use of EU support will very much depend on the commitment and ownership taken by the Member States. 
S predhodnimi pogojenostmi se je povečalo zavedanje prednosti in slabosti držav članic, toda njihov vpliv na uspešno porabo podpore EU bo zelo odvisen od zavezanosti in odgovornosti držav članic.
However, expectations regarding the possible impact of the EACs differed. 
Pričakovanja v zvezi z možnimi vplivi predhodnih pogojenosti so se kljub temu razlikovala.
EAC assessment criteria are often of a generic nature and leave considerable room for interpretation to Member States 40. 
Merila za ocenjevanje predhodnih pogojenosti so pogosto splošna in državam članicam puščajo precej prostora za interpretacijo 40.
Our review of the criteria specified in the CPR to assess whether EACs are fulfilled shows that these are very often of a generic nature and thus leave considerable room for interpretation. 
Pregled meril, opredeljenih v uredbi o skupnih določbah, za presojo, ali so predhodne pogojenosti izpolnjene, ki ga je opravilo Sodišče, je pokazal, da so merila pogosto splošna in zato dopuščajo precej različne razlage.
In particular, they often do not refer to specific quantifiable targets even where such targets could have been derived from existing EU policy framework. 
Zlasti se pogosto ne nanašajo na specifične količinsko opredeljive ciljne vrednosti, niti takrat, ko bi takšne ciljne vrednosti lahko določili na podlagi obstoječega okvira politike EU.
The Commission issued detailed guidance documents with additional sub-criteria describing its expectations for each criterion deriving from the CPR23. 
Komisija je izdala podrobne smernice z dodatnimi podmerili, v katerih je opisala svoja pričakovanja za vsako merilo, ki izhaja iz uredbe o skupnih določbah23.
The use of this guidance was however optional for Member States since the CPR specified that only the criteria in the regulation can be applied for the assessment. 
uporaba smernic za države članice neobvezna, saj je v uredbi o skupnih določbah navedeno, da se lahko za ocenjevanje uporabljajo samo merila iz te uredbe.
Moreover, according to the CPR, the Commission also had to take care to respect national and regional competences when assessing the adequacy of policy measures24. 
Poleg tega bi morala Komisija v skladu z uredbo o skupnih določbah pri ocenjevanju ustreznosti ukrepov politike poskrbeti za upoštevanje nacionalnih in regionalnih pristojnosti24.
For example, the criteria defined in the CPR for the thematic EAC 3.1 on the “promotion of entrepreneurship” and EAC 8.2 on the “Self-employment, entrepreneurship and business creation” refers to measures to reduce time and cost in setting up a business and getting licences and permits. 
Na primer, merila, ki so v uredbi o skupnih določbah opredeljena za tematski predhodni pogojenosti 3.1 „spodbujanje podjetništva” in 8.2 „samozaposlovanje, podjetništvo in ustanavljanje podjetij”, se nanašajo na ukrepe za skrajšanje časa in znižanje stroškov za ustanovitev podjetja ter pridobitev dovoljenj.
However, it does not require Member States to meet the corresponding targets set in the Small Business Act (SBA)25 recommended by the Competitiveness Council in May 2011: setting-up businesses in three working days, costs to set-up business no more than 100 euro, time needed to get licences and permits no more than three months. 
Ne zahtevajo pa, da države članice dosežejo ustrezne ciljne vrednosti, določene v „Small Business Act” za Evropo25, ki jih je Svet za konkurenčnost priporočil maja 2011: ustanovitev podjetja v treh delovnih dneh, stroški ustanovitve največ 100 EUR, čas za pridobitev dovoljenj največ tri mesece.
not necessarily achieved. Our analysis shows that in the absence of specific targets, Member States generally applied their discretion to assessing whether the EACs were fulfilled. 
Analiza, ki jo je opravilo Sodišče, je pokazala, da so države članice zato, ker ni bilo specifičnih ciljnih vrednosti, pri ocenjevanju, ali so predhodne pogojenosti izpolnjene, na splošno uporabile lastno presojo.
According to the Commission, the average time to start-up a private limited company in the EU-28 Member States in 2016 was 3.3 days and the cost registering a start-up business was 320 euro. 
Po navedbah Komisije je čas ustanovitve zasebne družbe z omejeno odgovornostjo v državah članicah EU-28 leta 2016 v povprečju znašal 3,3 dneva, stroški registracije zagonskega podjetja pa so znašali 320 EUR.
16 out of 28 Member States do not meet the target related to the cost involved in setting up a business (less than 100 euro) and 7 Member States do not meet the target related to the time necessary to start up a business26. 
Šestnajst od 28 držav članic ne izpolnjuje ciljne vrednosti v zvezi s stroški ustanovitve podjetja (manj kot 100 EUR) in sedem držav članic ne izpolnjuje ciljne vrednosti v zvezi s časom, potrebnim za ustanovitev podjetja26.
Nevertheless, while 9 of the 24 Member States for which EAC 3.1 applied, adopted altogether 13 action plans in relation to this EAC, for 7 of these Member States the action plans were assessed as completed by February 2017 (see Figure 3). 
Kljub temu je 9 od 24 držav članic, za katere je veljala predhodna pogojenost 3.1, skupaj sprejelo 13 akcijskih načrtov v zvezi s to predhodno pogojenostjo in za 7 od teh držav članic je bilo ocenjeno, da so bili akcijski načrti izvedeni do februarja 2017 (glej sliko 3).
Moreover, Member States considered that the EAC was fulfilled in more than 70 % of the cases (see Figure 2). 
29 so države članice v več kot 70 % primerov menile, da je ta predhodna pogojenost izpolnjena (glej sliko 2).
We also note that the Commission had initially proposed such specific targets to be met for the EAC 3.1 on “Promotion of entrepreneurship” and EAC 8.2 ‘Self-employment’27. During the tri-partite negotiations on the legislative package, however, these targets were removed from the CPR. 
Sodišče je ugotovilo tudi, da je Komisija sprva predlagala takšne specifične ciljne vrednosti za predhodno pogojenost 3.1 „spodbujanje podjetništva” in predhodno pogojenost 8.2: „samozaposlovanje”27. vendar so bile med tristranskimi pogajanji o zakonodajnem svežnju črtane iz uredbe o skupnih določbah.
This resulted in a situation where the assessment of whether an EAC was fulfilled or not became essentially judgemental and the Commission had only limited means to challenge the Member States’ self-assessment. 
Tako je ocena tega, ali je predhodna pogojenost izpolnjena ali ne, v bistvu stvar presoje, Komisija pa ima le omejena sredstva za izpodbijanje samoocene držav članic.
Inconsistent assessment of the fulfilment of EACs by Member States 46. 
Nedosledne ocen držav članic o izpolnjevanju predhodnih pogojenosti 46.
There were also cases where Member States had misinterpreted the CPR and, in other cases, inconsistently assessed the fulfilment of EACs. 
Obstajajo tudi primeri, v katerih so si države članice narobe razlagale uredbo o skupnih določbah, v drugih primerih pa so nedosledno ocenile izpolnjevanje predhodnih pogojenosti.
In these cases the Commission did not insist on a correct assessment. 
Komisija v teh primerih ni vztrajala pri pravilni oceni.
For example, this was the case of EAC 8.1 on “Member States’ capacity to deliver personalised employment services and measures of active and preventive labour market 26 27 29 European Commission, DG Growth, “Progress report on start-up procedures in 2016” (http://ec.europa.eu/growth/smes/promoting-entrepreneurship/advice-opportunities/start-up-procedures_en). 
To se je na primer zgodilo v primeru predhodne pogojenosti 8.1 „zmožnost držav članic za izvajanje posamezniku prilagojenih storitev in ukrepov aktivne in preventivne politike trga dela” in predhodne pogojenosti 8.3 o ukrepih za uvajanje takšnih storitev. Merili za ocenjevanje za ti dve predhodni pogojenosti se med seboj pravzaprav izključujeta, saj predhodna pogojenost 8.3 pomeni neizpolnjeno pogojenost 8.1 (glej sliko 6).

The assessment criteria underpinning these two EACs are in fact mutually exclusive since EAC 8.3 represents an unfulfilled EAC 8.1 (see Figure 6). Figure 6 - Example of mutually exclusive assessment criteria - EACs 8.1 and 8.3 on employment policies 30 EAC 8.1 - Active labour market policies are designed and delivered in the light of the Employment guidelines Source: ECA on the basis of the Annex XI of the CPR.

Member States cannot, therefore, assess the criteria for EAC 8.1 on “Member States’ capacity to deliver personalised employment services and measures of active and preventive labour market policy” as fulfilled and at the same time take actions to develop capacities to deliver such services as required by EAC 8.3. 
Države članice torej ne morejo presoditi, da je merilo za predhodno pogojenost 8.1 „zmožnost držav članic za izvajanje posamezniku prilagojenih storitev in ukrepov aktivne in preventivne politike trga dela” izpolnjeno, ter hkrati sprejeti ukrepov za razvoj zmogljivosti za izvajanje takšnih storitev, kot se zahteva s predhodno pogojenostjo 8.3.
Our analysis of 14 OPs showed however that OPs in two out of the five Member States examined (Poland and Croatia28) have assessed the criteria for EAC 8.1 as fulfilled and yet allocated EU funds to the modernisation of the employment services. 
Analiza 14 operativnih programov, ki jo je opravilo Sodišče, pa je pokazala, da sta dve izmed petih preučenih držav članic (Poljska in Hrvaška28) merila za predhodno pogojenost 8.1 ocenili kot izpolnjena, vendar sta kljub temu sredstva EU dodelili posodobitvi služb za zaposlovanje.
In the case of the Polish OP we also found that the national authorities had assessed these two EACs jointly and concluded that both were fulfilled. 
V primeru poljskega operativnega programa je Sodišče ugotovilo tudi, da so nacionalni organi ti dve predhodni pogojenosti ocenjevali skupaj in ugotovili, da sta obe izpolnjeni.

Criteria for fulfilment 
Merila za izpolnitev
We also observed good practice where the Commission pro-actively provided support to Member States to develop the strategies required for fulfilling an EAC. 
Sodišče je opazilo tudi dobro prakso, ko je Komisija proaktivno zagotavljala podporo državam članicam, da so razvile strategije, potrebne za izpolnjevanje predhodnih pogojenosti.
31 Box 1 - Commission support in relation to the EAC 1.1 on “smart specialization strategies” Member States that have allocated funds to TO1 “Strengthening research, technological development and innovation” have to put in place a smart specialisation strategy (RIS3) on how to strengthen their national or regional competitive advantages and potential for excellence. 
31 Okvir 1 – Podpora Komisije v zvezi s predhodno pogojenostjo 1.1 „strategije za pametno specializacijo” Države članice, ki so dodelile finančna sredstva tematskemu cilju 1 „krepitev raziskav, tehnološkega razvoja in inovacij” (TO1), morajo pripraviti pametno strategijo za specializacijo (RIS3) o tem, kako okrepiti nacionalne ali regionalne konkurenčne prednosti in potencial za odličnost.
The financial support under TO1 should be provided to promote research and innovation in smart specialisation areas with growth potential. 
Finančna pomoč v okviru tematskega cilja 1 bi morala biti zagotovljena za spodbujanje raziskav in inovacij na področjih pametne specializacije s potencialom za rast.
In several cases, these strategies were developed with the help of the Commission. 
Te strategije so bile v več primerih razvite ob pomoči Komisije.
For example, the Commission contracted experts to assess the national RIS3 of Ireland and Croatia and to develop the regional RIS3 of the Spanish regional OP of Andalucia. 
Komisija je na primer najela strokovnjake, ki so ocenili nacionalne strategije RIS3 Irske in Hrvaške ter razvili regionalno strategijo RIS3 španskega regionalnega operativnega programa Andaluzije.
In addition the Commission encouraged Member States to participate in peer reviews. 
Poleg tega je Komisija spodbujala države članice, naj sodelujejo v medsebojnih pregledih.
Poland, Romania and Ireland participated in the national peer review workshop held by the Commission’s Joint Research Centre and the Irish authorities in Dublin in July 2014. 
Poljska, Romunija in Irska so sodelovale na delavnici za nacionalne medsebojne preglede, ki so jo julija 2014 v Dublinu pripravili Skupno raziskovalno središče Komisije in irski organi.
The Spanish research and innovation system was peer reviewed in August 2014 by the European Research and Innovation Area Committee. 
Odbor za evropski raziskovalni in inovacijski prostor je avgusta 2014 strokovno pregledal španski sistem za raziskave in inovacije.
The Commission also encouraged the involvement of external stakeholders in the development of the RIS3 and in the identification of geographical areas of specialisation. 
Komisija je spodbujala tudi vključevanje zunanjih deležnikov v pripravo strategije RIS3 in v opredelitev geografskih območij specializacije.
The Commission, furthermore, insisted on ensuring the strategies contained a sufficient level of interaction and cooperation between the managing authorities, companies and academia in identifying potential business opportunities and following them. 
Poleg tega je Komisija vztrajala, da morajo strategije vsebovati zadostno raven interakcije in sodelovanja med organi upravljanja, podjetji in akademiki pri ugotavljanju možnih poslovnih priložnosti in njihovem uresničevanju.
Ex-ante conditionalities not sufficiently coordinated with European Semester and with information available from other Commission services 50. 
Predhodne pogojenosti niso dovolj usklajene z evropskim semestrom in informacijami, ki so na voljo pri drugih službah Komisije 50.
The responsible DG, when assessing the EACs, should also take into account the knowledge generated in other contexts, such as the European Semester, or information gathered by other Directorates-General or through its own monitoring activities. 
Pristojni generalni direktorat bi moral pri presoji predhodnih pogojenosti upoštevati tudi vedenje, pridobljeno v drugih okvirih, kot je evropski semester, ali informacije, ki jih zberejo drugi generalni direktorati ali sam z lastnimi dejavnostmi spremljanja.
Commission’s assessment of EACs not in line with analysis in European Semester country reports 51. 
Presoja predhodnih pogojenosti, ki jo je izvedla Komisija, ni v skladu z analizo v poročilih evropskega semestra za posamezne države 51.
In the framework of the European Semester, the Commission issues country reports and presents country specific recommendations per Member State. 
Komisija v okviru evropskega semestra izdaja poročila in priporočila za posamezne države.
These country reports present an annual analysis of the economic and social challenges in all EU Member States. 
Ta poročila za posamezne države vsebujejo letno analizo gospodarskih in družbenih izzivov v vseh državah članicah EU.
The Commission did not, however, always take into account its knowledge on structural issues in the Member States, gathered in the context of the European Semester, when assessing the consistency and adequacy of the information provided by the Member State on the EACs. 
Komisija pa pri presoji skladnosti in ustreznosti informacij, ki jih je država članica zagotovila o predhodnih pogojenostih, ni vedno upoštevala svojega vedenja o strukturnih vprašanjih v državah članicah, ki ga je zbrala v okviru evropskega semestra.
In August 2014, the Commission adopted internal guidance on the EACs for the ESI funds29 This guideline did however not address how to ensure a consistent assessment of EACs and the European Semester. 
Avgusta 2014 je Komisija sprejela notranje smernice o predhodnih pogojenostih za evropske strukturne in investicijske sklade29. V teh smernicah pa ni obravnavala tega, kako zagotoviti skladno oceno predhodnih pogojenosti in evropskega semestra.
Our analysis found for example three of the five Member States examined (Poland, Croatia and Spain) considered that the EAC 8.1 on “Member States’ capacity to deliver personalised employment services and measures of active and preventive labour market policy”30 was fulfilled. 
Analiza, ki jo je opravilo Sodišče, je na primer pokazala, da so tri od petih preučenih držav članic (Poljska, Hrvaška in Španija) menile, da je predhodna pogojenost 8.1 „zmožnost držav članic za izvajanje posamezniku prilagojenih storitev in ukrepov aktivne in preventivne politike trga dela”30 izpolnjena.
The Commission accepted this assessment although its subsequent country reports indicated significant weaknesses related to these criteria (see Box 2). 
Komisija je to oceno sprejela, čeprav so bile v njenih poznejših poročilih za posamezne države omenjene znatne slabosti v zvezi s temi merili (glej okvir 2).

33 Box 2 - Inconsistencies between ex-ante conditionalities and country-specific reports in the assessment of Member State’s delivery of active labour market policy – examples of Poland, Spain and Croatia For Poland, the country report for 2015 issued by the Commission identifies the persisting challenge that the Polish Public Employment Services (PES) do not adequately address labour market performance issues due to a lack of resources, inefficient functioning, weak monitoring, insufficient coordination of the fragmented system and a lack of skilled personnel31. 
33 Okvir 2 – Neskladnost med predhodnimi pogojenostmi in poročili za posamezne države pri presoji izvajanja aktivne politike trga dela v državi članici – primeri Poljske, Španije in Hrvaške Za Poljsko je v poročilu Komisije za to državo za leto 2015 ugotovljeno, da še vedno obstaja izziv, da poljske javne službe za zaposlovanje neustrezno obravnavajo vprašanja smotrnosti delovanja trga dela zaradi pomanjkanja sredstev, neučinkovitega delovanja, slabega spremljanja, nezadostne usklajenosti razdrobljenega sistema in pomanjkanja usposobljenega osebja31.
For Croatia, the country report for 2015 states that the Croatian Public Employment Service has a weak administrative capacity and that business processes hinder its capacity to improve the effectiveness of active labour market policies measures and enhance outreach to the groups most vulnerable on the labour market. 
Za Hrvaško je v poročilu za to državo za leto 2015 navedeno, da ima hrvaška javna služba za zaposlovanje šibko upravno zmogljivost in da poslovni procesi ovirajo njene zmogljivosti za povečanje uspešnosti ukrepov aktivne politike trga dela in izboljšanje stika s skupinami, ki so na trgu dela najbolj ranljive.
For Spain, the 2016 country report states that there is limited capacity for the PES to provide effective, individualised counselling and that no specific measures have been taken to increase assistance especially for those further away from the labour market32. 
Za Španijo je v poročilu za to državo za leto 2016 navedeno, da imajo javne službe za zaposlovanje omejene zmogljivosti za zagotavljanje uspešnega, posamezniku prilagojenega svetovanja in da niso bili sprejeti specifični ukrepi za povečanje pomoči, zlasti osebam, ki so najbolj oddaljene od trga dela32.
The 2014 and 2015 country specific recommendations33 had already previously stated that the Member State had made limited progress in accelerating the modernisation of PES and, in both years, the national authorities where recommended to takes steps to increase the quality and effectiveness of job search assistance and counselling. 
V priporočilih za posamezne države za leti 2014 in 201533 je bilo že prej navedeno, da je država članica le skromno napredovala pri pospeševanju posodabljanja javnih služb za zaposlovanje. Nacionalnim organom je bilo v obeh letih priporočeno, naj sprejmejo ukrepe za povečanje kakovosti in uspešnosti pomoči pri iskanju zaposlitve in svetovanju.
Moreover, in its Communication on the Annual Growth Survey 2017, the Commission noted that “the structural reforms remain incomplete in many Member States and delivery on the country-specific recommendations is too often patchy. 
Poleg tega je Komisija v svojem sporočilu z naslovom Letni pregled rasti za leto 2017 ugotovila, da „v številnih državah članicah strukturne reforme še vedno niso zaključene, priporočila za posamezne države pa so prepogosto nezadostno oblikovana[.]
