F. ker želja po čim večjem črpanju finančne podpore od držav članic in upravnih organov zahteva stalna prizadevanja ter vključevanje lokalne in regionalne ravni javne uprave v vse stopnje tega procesa, pa tudi ustrezno zmogljivost institucionalnih struktur ter učinkovite sisteme upravljanja in nadzora,
F. whereas aiming at absorbing as much financial support as possible requires continuous efforts by the Member States and management authorities and the involvement of the local and regional levels of administration at every stage of the process, as well as appropriate capacity within institutional structures and efficient management and control systems,
G. ker je upravna sposobnost, zlasti pri načrtovanju in izvajanju projektov, osrednje vprašanje absorpcijske sposobnosti in jo je treba okrepiti, pri tem pa se posebej posvetiti državam članicam v zaostanku in z nizko stopnjo črpanja;
G. whereas administrative capacity, especially in terms of project planning and implementation, is a key issue for absorption capacity and needs to be strengthened, with particular emphasis on those Member States lagging behind and that have low absorption rates,
H. ker so pravila o kohezijskem in strukturnih skladih zapletena in jih je zato težko pravilno prenesti v nacionalno zakonodajo ter jih spoštovati, poleg tega pa prihaja do napak, tako da države članice in regije porabijo nesorazmerno veliko časa za obravnavo tovrstnih napak in nadzor nad njimi, zato morajo ta pravila ostati skozi čas nespremenjena, da bi spodbudili večji občutek odgovornosti; vendar pa bi bilo treba spodbujati poenostavitev izvajanja finančnih instrumentov;
H. whereas the rules relating to Structural and Cohesion Funds are, by their very nature, complex and therefore difficult to transpose properly into national law and to comply with, and are liable to lead to errors, so that Member States and regions spend a disproportionate amount of time trying to manage and control these errors, and therefore these rules need to remain stable over time in order to promote a better sense of ownership; whereas, however, simplification of the implementation of financial instruments should be encouraged,
I. ker je kljub manjšemu številu napak in manjšemu obsegu nepravilne razdelitve strukturnih sredstev treba okrepiti ukrepe držav članic, da bi zmanjšali nepravilno dodeljevanje sredstev in dobili nazaj neupravičeno izplačane zneske,
I. whereas, in spite of a reduction in the number of errors and in the misappropriation of structural funding, the measures taken by the Member States need to be reinforced to reduce the misappropriation of funding and recover sums unduly paid,
J. ker imajo zlasti države članice, ki so se EU pridružile v sedanjem programskem obdobju, velike težave s črpanjem zaradi precej večjega obsega sredstev, ki so na voljo v primerjavi s predpristopnimi sredstvi, in zaradi pomanjkljivosti v upravnih strukturah pri vzpostavljanju, podpori in ocenjevanju projektov,
J. whereas the Member States that joined the EU in the current programming period in particular are facing substantial difficulties as regards absorption resulting from the significant increase in the amount of funds available in comparison with the pre-accession funds and the shortcomings of the administrative structures for setting up, supporting and evaluating projects,
K. ker pomanjkanje preglednosti pri stopnjah črpanja kratko- in srednjeročnih sredstev ovira absorpcijsko sposobnost in ker je na vseh stopnjah upravljanja potrebno več preglednosti;
K. whereas the lack of visibility regarding the levels of uptake of short- and medium-term funds is an obstacle to absorption capacity and whereas better transparency is needed at all levels of governance,
L. ker Evropski socialni sklad zagotavlja nujno podporo politikam za trg dela in ima pomembno vlogo pri spodbujanju socialne vključenosti in ker je treba njegova sredstva precej povečati,

3. meni, da je veliko opredeljenih problemov mogoče odpraviti, če se že na stopnji načrtovanja pritegne vse ustrezne akterje na nacionalni, regionalni in lokalni ravni, s čimer bi bili predlogi v prihodnjih okvirnih dokumentih in operativnih programih čim bolj prilagojeni njihovim potrebam, kar bi lahko v večji meri in jasneje prispevalo k uresničevanju ciljev EU;
Considers that many of the problems identified could be avoided by involving, right from the start of the programming stage, all the relevant players at national, regional and local level, in order to match the proposals in future framework documents and operational programmes as closely as possible to their needs, hence enabling a greater and clearer contribution to be made to meeting EU objectives;

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to ensure that the ESF is used in a more efficient way today, to respond to the ongoing socio-economic challenges brought about by the financial recession, at all levels and in all Member States, and to ensure that the future ESF makes a meaningful, targeted contribution to implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy in the fields of employment and social inclusion as a visible, transparent, efficient, flexible, simple and user-friendly instrument that is brought to bear to develop human capital, while reflecting the specificities and needs of Member States and regions;
17. poziva Komisijo in države članice, naj pri lokalnih in regionalnih razvojnih projektih dajejo prednost celostnemu pristopu, pri čemer naj spodbujajo razvoj lokalnih pobud za Evropski socialni sklad od spodaj navzgor in omogočijo združevanje več virov financiranja: operativnih programov, nacionalnih programov in zasebnih sredstev na ravni posameznega projekta;

28. poziva Komisijo, naj poveča pomoč državam članicam, pri katerih je stopnja črpanja pod povprečjem EU in kjer se kažejo pomanjkljivosti v absorpcijski sposobnosti; meni, da je treba s tako okrepljeno pomočjo in tesnim sodelovanjem nadaljevati vsaj tako dolgo, da te države članice dosežejo raven znanja, ki bo omogočala doseganje rezultatov brez posebne zunanje pomoči;
Calls on the Commission to enhance its assistance to those Member States whose absorption rates, being under the EU's average, show a lack in terms of absorption capacity; believes that such enhanced assistance and close cooperation should continue at least until the countries concerned reach a level of expertise sufficient to produce results without external special aid;
30. poudarja pomen programov za medregionalno sodelovanje ter programov, kot sta INTERACT in URBACT, pri opredeljevanju in širjenju najboljše prakse ter pri usposabljanju političnih in upravnih akterjev za najboljšo uporabo sredstev; poziva, naj bo ukrepom za spodbujanje regionalnega načrtovanja in učinkovite porabe sredstev možno dodeliti sredstva iz sklopa "medregionalno sodelovanje" v okviru cilja za teritorialno sodelovanje;

Stresses the positive effects of using financial instruments provided by the European Investment Bank, such as Jessica, in order to expand the overall financial resources without increasing direct public funding;
42. poziva Komisijo, naj pripravi bolj odprto razpravo o ukrepih za povečanje črpanja iz kohezijskega in strukturnih skladov; pri tem bi lahko povabili Odbor regij, naj vsako leto pripravi mnenje o absorpcijski sposobnosti vseh držav članic,
Calls on the Commission to have a more open debate on the measures envisaged for accelerating the absorption of the Structural and Cohesion funds; suggests, in this regard, that the Committee of the Regions might be invited to give a yearly opinion on the absorption capacity in all the Member States;
Od poznih devetdesetih let dalje velja črpanje iz kohezijskega in strukturnih skladov za glavno skrb na področju izvajanja kohezijske politike EU.
Since the late 1990s, absorption of structural and cohesion funds has been recognised as a main concern in relation to the implementation of the EU cohesion policy.
Številne države članice so se soočale s težavami pri črpanju teh sredstev iz proračuna EU, predvsem v prvih letih po pristopu k EU.
Many Member States have faced difficulties in absorbing the structural and cohesion funds from the EU budget, especially during the early post-accession years.
Zato se to poročilo osredotoča na težave, razloge zanje, obravnava dobre prakse v sedanjem programskem obdobju (2007–2013) ter oblikuje zaključke za bodočo kohezijsko politiko EU.
Thus, this Report looks at the problems, reasons behind and good practices during the current programming period (2007-2013) and draws lessons for the future EU cohesion policy.
Poročevalec razume absorpcijsko sposobnost kot stopnjo, na kateri je posamezna država članica sposobna uspešno in učinkovito porabiti finančna sredstva, dodeljena iz kohezijskega in strukturnih skladov.
Absorption capacity is understood by the Rapporteur as the extent to which a Member State is able to spend the financial resources allocated from the Structural and Cohesion Funds in an effective and efficient manner.
Ta sposobnost je potrebna, da bi z viri, ki so na razpolago v skladih EU, čim bolj prispevali k ekonomski in socialni koheziji.
This capacity is necessary for making a maximum contribution to economic and social cohesion with the resources available from the EU funds.
Absorpcijska sposobnost na strani povpraševanja predstavlja dejansko sposobnost predlagateljev projekta za oblikovanje sprejemljivih projektov.
The absorption capacity on demand side means the actual ability by project applicants to generate acceptable projects.
Na strani ponudbe pa absorpcijsko sposobnost določajo trije glavni dejavniki:
On the supply side absorption capacity can be determined by three main factors:
· makroekonomska absorpcijska sposobnost, ki se določa in meri glede na BDP;
· Macro-economic absorption capacity defined and measured in terms of GDP;
· finančna absorpcijska sposobnost, ki je opredeljena kot sposobnost sofinanciranja programov in projektov, ki jih podpira EU, sposobnost načrtovanja in zagotavljanja nacionalnih prispevkov v večletnih proračunih ter zbiranja prispevkov od partnerjev, vključenih v različne programe in projekte;
· Financial absorption capacity defined as the ability to co-finance the programs and projects supported by the EU, to plan and guarantee these national contributions in multi-annual budgets, and to collect contributions from the partners involved in various programs and projects;
· upravna zmogljivost, ki je opredeljena kot sposobnost in usposobljenost osrednjih in lokalnih organov za pripravo programov ter ustreznih in pravočasnih projektov, za odločanje o teh projektih, zagotavljanje usklajevanja med udeleženimi partnerji, spoštovanje zahtev glede upravnih postopkov in poročanja, financiranje in spremljanje izvajanja programov in projektov ter preprečevanje nepravilnosti.
· Administrative capacity defined as the ability and qualifications of central and local authorities to prepare programs and appropriate and timely projects, to decide on them, to ensure coordination of partners involved, to comply with administrative and reporting requirements, to fund and monitor the implementation of programs and projects and to avoid irregularities.
· Absorpcijska sposobnost ne predstavlja stalnega parametra, ampak spremenljivko.
· The absorption capacity is not a parameter but a variable.
V državah članicah se ta sposobnost precej razlikuje, zato so potrebne individualne rešitve.
It differs widely in the different Member States therefore individual solutions are necessary.
Da bi dosegli čim boljše črpanje finančne podpore, si morajo države članice za to nenehno prizadevati ter lokalne in regionalne ravni javne uprave vključiti v vse faze procesa.
Aiming at absorbing as much financial support as possible in this context requires continuous efforts by the Member States and the involvement of the local and regional level of administration in every stage of the process.
Razlogi za težave pri črpanju sredstev
Reasons behind the absorption problems
· Začetne težave ob pričetku programskega obdobja
· Initial problems at the beginning of the programming period
Države članice so se spopadale s težavami pri dokončanju postopka za oceno skladnosti, povezanega z novim sistemom upravljanja in nadzora, ki izhaja iz Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 1083/2006 z dne 11. julija 2006 o splošnih določbah o Evropskem skladu za regionalni razvoj, Evropskem socialnem skladu in Kohezijskem skladu.
Member States experienced difficulties over completing the compliance assessment procedures concerning the new management and control system stipulated by the Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006, laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund.
To je privedlo do zamud pri izplačilih, saj so bila prva vmesna plačila pogojena s tem, da Komisija odobri omenjeni sistem.
This led to delays in payments as the approval of the system by the Commission was a precondition to the first interim payments.
Poleg tega je vzporedno izvajanje dveh programskih obdobij (2000–2006 in 2007–2013) pomenilo znatno breme, zaradi katerega je prišlo do zamud na začetku sedanjega programskega obdobja.
Furthermore the parallel implementation of two programming periods (20000-2006 and 2007-2013) is also considered a significant burden causing delays at the beginning of the current period.
· Finančne težave
· Financial problems
Svetovna gospodarska recesija je v številnih državah članicah povzročila težave pri izkoriščanju sredstev.
The impact of the global economic recession caused difficulties in many Member States as regards utilisation of the funds.
Njihove posledice so se odražale pri doseganju rezultatov, spremembah pričakovanega povpraševanja in vedno večjih omejitvah pri nacionalnem ali lokalnem javnem financiranju.
Consequences were problems in delivery of results, changes in expected demands and growing restrictions in national or local public financing.
Zagotavljanje zadostnih virov za sofinanciranje projektov je postalo še težje.
It became even more difficult to find sufficient resources to co-finance projects.
· Regulativne zahteve
· Regulatory requirements
Zakonodajni okvir za obdobje 2007–2013 je na splošno veliko bolj jasen v primerjavi s prejšnjimi različicami, vendar so na tem področju potrebna dodatna prizadevanja.
The 2007-2013 regulatory framework generally improved clarity compared to the previous version, however further efforts are required.
Težave držav članic z regulativnimi zahtevami so med drugim nastale zaradi vprašanj neskladnosti, saj zahteve Evropske komisije v nekaterih primerih niso bile skladne z obstoječimi nacionalnimi ureditvami, ki jih je bilo treba revidirati.
Member States’ difficulties with the regulatory requirements have been caused inter alia by incompatibility issues as in some cases EC requirements were not compatible with existing national arrangements, which had to be revised.
Dodatne težave so nastale zaradi zamud pri vzpostavljanju in uvajanju evropskih in nacionalnih pravil ali zaradi s tem povezanih smernic in vrzeli v pravilih oziroma nejasnih pravil.
Further problems were caused by delays with the establishment and introduction of EU and national rules or with related guidance and gaps in the rules or unclear rules.
Nekatere regulativne zahteve bi bilo treba nadalje prilagoditi, da bi upoštevali izkušnje na področju izvajanja.
Some regulatory requirements should be further adapted to take account of implementation experience.
Poleg tega je težave povzročala tudi opredelitev pravil o upravičenosti.
In addition the definition of eligibility rules has caused difficulties.
Nekateri operativni programi za teritorialno sodelovanje so se spopadali s težavami zaradi nacionalnih pravil o upravičenosti, saj je število naborov nacionalnih pravil odvisno od števila sodelujočih držav članic.
Some of the Territorial Cooperation OPs experienced difficulties over national eligibility rules since depending on the number of Member States involved, there are a number of different sets of national rules.
Znatne zamude so nastale pri prevajanju smernic in pri pridobivanju pojasnil Komisije, povezanih npr. s presojo vplivov na okolje in z upravičenostjo stroškov.
Significant delays could be observed in the translation of the guidance notes and in obtaining clarification from the Commission as regards e.g. environmental impact assessments and eligibility of costs.
Dodatne težave so se pojavile tudi zaradi pogostih sprememb nacionalnih zahtev in neskladnosti s smernicami Evropske komisije, saj so institucije EU med finančno perspektivo spremenile svoje razlage predpisov.
Further difficulties were caused by frequent changes of national requirements and inconsistency in EC guidance as EU institutions changed their interpretation of the regulations during the financial perspective.
· Organizacijske zahteve
· Organisational requirements
Težave držav članic z organizacijskimi zahtevami so nastale zaradi potrebe po vzpostavitvi novih institucij, nezadostnega ločevanja med organi, problematike hierarhije med institucijami in težav pri razporeditvi nalog in odgovornosti.
Member States’ difficulties with the organisational requirements have been caused by the need to establish new institutions, insufficient separation between the authorities, hierarchy problems between the institutions and difficulties over the allocation of tasks and responsibilities.
V nekaterih primerih je prišlo tudi do vzpostavitve prevelikega števila institucij in podvajanja nalog.
In some cases too many organisations were created and functions were duplicated.

· Human resources
