Given the nature of the activities supported by the Cohesion Fund — infrastructure delivery — the introduction of programme-based financial discipline will not be without its challenges.
– gradnja infrastrukture – uvajanje finančne discipline ne bo potekalo povsem brez težav.
However, as has been demonstrated in the current programmes, such discipline gives a strong incentive to quick programme start-up and the early delivery of programme benefits. ts.
Kot se je pokazalo pri tekočih programih, pomeni tovrstna disciplina spodbudo za hiter začetek izvajanja programov in zgodnjo uresničitev ciljev.
In conclusion, the Commission’s proposal aims to achieve a maximum degree of coordination between the ERDF and Cohesion Fund, equal treatment of the funds in terms of f i nancial management, and harmonised implementation rules giving the national authorities the opportunity for simplification in management arrangements.
Namen predlogov Komisije je doseganje optimalne koordinacije med ESRR in Kohezijskim skladom, enako obravnavanje skladov glede na finančno upravljanje in harmonizacija predpisov o izvajanju, kar bo nacionalnim oblastem omogočilo poenostavitev postopkov vodenja.

‘Cohesion Fund in Poland — project appraisal dilemmas’
Andrzej Gula, Institut za gospodarjenje z okoljem, CEE Bankwatch Network

“Kohezijski sklad na Poljskem – kriteriji za izbiro projektov”
There is a strong expectation that the Cohesion Fund will play an important role in implementing the environmental acquis communautaire in Poland.
KrzysztofBerbeka, doktorekonomskih znanosti, Univerza v Krakovu bi lahko bili bolj natančni in jasno določali izvajanje projekta.
Forecasts show that in the 2003–10 period approximately 19 % of investment outlays for municipal environmental infrastructure may be covered by the Cohesion Fund (1).
Število na razpisu Sklada predstavljenih projektov se je relativno povečalo, medtem ko kakovost in prepričljivost močno nihata.
of the directives (2). Secondly, national programmes (apart from the national programme for waste water treatment) could be more detailed and clearly define a project portfolio.
Vse kaže, da bo Kohezijski sklad igral pomembno vlogo pri izvajanju evropskega pravnega reda na področju okolja na Poljskem.
Thirdly, the number of projects proposed by the municipalities for Cohesion Fund fi nanc-ing is relatively high, while the quality and credibility of the proposals and documentation submitted differ greatly for each project.
Po predvidevanjih bo v obdobju 2003-2010 okoli 19 % stroškov za investicije na področju mestne okoljske infrastrukture kril prav Kohezijski sklad1.
Since the number of potential projects and their financial value is significantly higher than available assistance from the Cohesion Fund, there is a need to establish an efficient and transparent system for project appraisal.
Ker število potencialnih projektov in njihove fi nanč-ne razsežnosti močno presegajo zmožnosti Kohezijskega sklada, je potrebno uvesti transparentni sistem za izbiro projektov.
Project appraisal methodology indicates two possible approaches.
Metodološko sta možna dva pristopa:
Therefore, the appraisal procedure should be based on a more robust system using criteria that permit project ranking.
Postopek vrednotenja bi moral temeljiti na bolj ustreznem sistemu, ki bi zahteval merila za razvrščanje projektov.
It seems that current procedures should be modified in order to increase transparency and accountability, and to allow comparability.
Zdajšnje postopke bi bilo treba spremeniti, tako da bi povečali transparentnost in odgovornost ter uvedli primerljivost.
Establishing such a system will help the municipalities to reflect to a greater extent the Cohesion Fund investment priorities in their projects.
Vpeljava takega sistema bi mestnim oblastem omogočila združevanje prioritet Kohezijskega sklada znotraj projektov samih.
(1) Projects are selected on the basis of a detailed national programme for a specific field.
(1) Projekti se izbirajo na podlagi podrobnega nacionalnega programa za posamezno področ(2) je.
These programmes should reflect the demand for the necessary investments and should define the lists of necessary projects aimed at meeting the requirements of the EU directives.
Ti programi morajo odsevati investicijske potrebe in vsebovati seznam projektov, potrebnih za izpolnjevanje zahtev oz. direktiv EU.
(2) When national programmes are not available or do not specify lists of necessary projects, projects should be appraised on the basis of ranking lists prepared according to a set of measurable and comparable criteria.
(2) Če nacionalni programi in seznami potrebnih projektov niso izdelani, se projekti ocenijo na podlagi klasifikacije oz. v skladu z ustreznimi merili.
Another important issue is that the current approach to project selection lacks a strategic approach to holistic implementation of environmental acquis communautaire.
Pomembno vprašanje je tudi način izbire projektov.
The allocation of the financial resources should reflect financial needs resulting from agreed implementation programmes under the environmental directives.
Sedaj nam manjka strateški pristop, ki bi temeljil na združenem izvajanju evropskega pravnega reda na področju okolja.
The Cohesion Fund is an instrument that makes it possible to introduce corrections to the allocation patterns.
Dodeljevanje finančnih sredstev bi moralo dajati prednost finančnim potrebam programov, ki so izdelani v okviru okoljskih direktiv.
These corrections should be aimed at ensuring financing in those areas where possible financing deficits may occur, for example, the waste management sector (3).
Popravki s strani Kohezijskega sklada odobrenih sredstev bi morali zagotoviti financiranje trenutno zapostavljenih področij (na primer ravnanje z odpadki3).
It should be noted, however, that such corrections will be of little use if proper legislative requirements are not introduced.
Vsekakor je potrebno upoštevati, da omenjeni pristop ne bo učinkovit, če ne bodo vzpostavljeni ustrezni pravni vzvodi.
As the Cohesion Fund will also provide assistance during the next programming period, based on a programme approach, the activities aimed at improving the selection process are all the more worthwhile and should be intensified. ed.
Ker bodo ukrepi Kohezijskega sklada v prihodnjem programskem obdobju sledili načelu “en sklad, en program”, je potrebno še bolj okrepiti aktivnosti za izboljšanje postopkov izbire projektov.
Currently, the driving forces for project appraisal in Poland do not fully reflect those approaches.
Težnje pri ocenjevanju projektov na Poljskem danes ne odražajo povsem navedenih pristopov.
Firstly, there is a strong political concern about spending all the available resources from the Cohesion Fund.
Obstaja močna politična zavzetost za uporabo vseh razpoložljivih sredstev Kohezijskega sklada.
This results in decisions which do not necessarily promote effi ciency-based mechanisms to finance the most urgent environmental projects that meet the provisions
Rezultat tega so odločitve, ki vedno ne spodbujajo mehanizmov za učinkovitost in fi nanci-ranje najbolj nujnih okoljskih projektov, s katerimi bi zagotovili skladnost z evropskimi direktivami2.

Based on the same concept, the ISPA pre-accession instrument shares a large number of common features with the Cohesion Fund.
Ker temeljita na enakem konceptu, imata predpristopni strukturni instrument (ISPA) in Kohezijski sklad veliko skupnih točk.
Since its launch in 2000, it has grant aided more than 300 large-scale environment and transport infrastructure investments in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe.
Od ustanovitve leta 2000 je ISPA sofinanciral več kot 300 velikih projektov na področju prometne in okoljske infrastrukture v državah kandidatkah iz srednje in vzhodne Evrope.
Between 2000 and 2003, more than 200 environment projects were assisted, essentially relating to water supply, sewage systems, waste water treatment, and waste management.
Med leti 2000 in 2003 je ISPA financiral več kot 200 okoljskih projektov, povezanih predvsem z oskrbo pitne vode, kanalizacijskim omrežjem, čiščenjem odpadnih voda in ravnanjem z odpadki.
It supported the interconnection and interoperability within the candidate countries’ national networks, as well as between these networks and the Union’s network.
Ti ukrepi so pripomogli tudi k pripravi držav kandidatk na izvajanje evropske okoljske zakonodaje in pospešili morebitne reforme.
The Instrument for Structural Policies for Pre-Acces-sion (Instrument Structurel de Pré-Adhésion/ISPA) is one of the three instruments (Phare, ISPA, Sapard) that formed part of the pre-accession strategy adopted in December 1997 at the Luxembourg European Council for the 2000–06 period.
ISPA je eden od treh instrumentov (ISPA, PHARE in SAPARD), ki so del predpristopne strategije za obodobje 2000-2006, sprejete decembra 1997 na vrhu Sveta EU v Luksemburgu.
Its objective was to grant aid infrastructure in the EU priority fields of transport and the environment in the 10 candidate countries of central and eastern Europe (2).
Ustanovljen je bil za pomoč pri financiranju infrastrukturnih projektov v okviru evropskih prioritet na področju okolja in prometa v desetih srednje in vzhodnoevropskih državah kandidatkah2.
It was allocated a budget of more than EUR 1 billion a year, distributed over these countries according to their population, surface area and per capita GDP.
Njegov letni proračun v višini več kot 1 milijarde evrov je bil razdeljen na podlagi števila prebivalstva, površine in BDP na prebivalca.
Now, after four years of implementing the ISPA, assistance amounting to EUR 7 billion has been disbursed for an investment value of over EUR 11.6billion.
Štiri leta po ustanovitvi instrumenta ISPA se je pomoč zvišala na 7 milijard evrov, skupna vrednost projektov pa znaša 11,6 milijarde evrov.

The Cohesion Fund A boost for European solidarity
Kohezijski sklad, krepitev evropskega sodelovanja infrastrukturo – kot so železniške povezave, ceste, letališča, sistemi za nadzor prometa itd.
European transport corridors — including cross-border infrastructure — such as railways, roads, airports, traffic monitoring systems, and so on.
Že od začetka so bila sredstva ISPA enakomerno razdeljena na področje okolja in prometa, znotraj slednjega pa se dobile prednost železnice, kot bolj trajna vrsta prometa od cestnega.
From the start, the ISPA funds were equally distributed between the environment and transport sectors.
in enostavneje bo prišlo do podpisa pogodb in izplačil.
Within the latter sector, rail was favoured as a more sustainable transport mode compared with roads.
Seveda pa se izkušenj na tem področju ne da pridobiti od danes na jutri, ampak postopoma.
As for any infrastructure project, the quality of the preparation of a project determines the lead time needed to launch the tendering of the works and indeed the works themselves. The better all aspects of the project have been prepared, the quicker and easier the contracts can be concluded and the grants paid.
Iz tega razloga se ISPA izvaja s pomočjo sistema, ki omogoča vnaprejšnje preverjanje izvedb razpisov in podpisov pogodb (predhodna potrditev) s strani delegacij Evropske komisije v državah upravičenkah.
This is especially true when project beneficiaries are not acquainted with international technical standards or with procurement rules and procedures that are designed to ensure equal access, fair treatment and transparency for eligible firms and individuals.
Ker se je izpolnjevanje pravnih zahtev na področju javnih naročil izkazalo za precejšen izziv, je Komisija izpopolnila različne oblike tehnične pomoči, ki so pripomogle k izboljšanju usposobljenosti, delovanja in postopkov upravičenk.
In addition to funding capital investments, various forms of technical assistance were provided, totalling almost EUR 200 million.
Poleg investicij v infrastrukturo je program nudil tudi različne oblike tehnične pomoči v skupni višini 200 milijonov evrov.
This assistance focused on fields in which beneficiary countries faced difficulties in implementing the required standards.
Ta pomoč je bila namenjena področjem, na katerih so imele države prejemnice težave pri izvajanju evropske zakonodaje.
The capacity of national bodies to prepare and implement projects, as well as to implement and enforce environmental policy, was enhanced, and both decentralised procurement and financial management were promoted.
Na ta način sta se izboljšali pripravljenost in sposobnost nacionalnih organov za pripravo in izvajanje okoljskih projektov. ISPA je spodbudil decentralizacijo nakupov in finančnega upravljanja.
Several system audits were undertaken to assess and improve the countries’ financial management and control systems.
V državah prejemnicah so bile opravljene številne revizije z namenom vrednotenja in izbojšanja sistemov vodenja in finančne kontrole.
Overall, these interventions were to familiarise the ISPA countries with EU funding principles and procedures and, consequently, prepare them for the sound management of EU Structural Funds after accession, in particular the resources of the Cohesion Fund.
V splošnem je bil cilj teh ukrepov seznanitev držav ISPA z načeli in postopki financiranja v EU in priprava na učinkovito upravljanje s strukturnimi sredstvi po pristopu, še posebej s sredstvi Kohezijskega sklada.
Programming and grant aiding investments
Programiranje in financiranje investicij
Projects needed to be in line with sector strategies defined at national level.
Projekti so morali biti v skladu s področnimi strategijami, zapisanimi v nacionalnih programih.
These strategies established mid-term investment priorities as well as project selection criteria for each of the two sectors.
S pomočjo teh strategij so se oblikovale srednjeročne investicijske prioritete in merila za izbor na vsakem od obeh področij.
Progress and effectiveness in managing and implementing the ISPA projects was monitored and evaluated in various ways, based on regular meetings, monitoring reports drawn up by the implementing bodies, auditing of assistance and site visits by Commission staff .
Napredek in učinkovitost izvajanja projektov ISPA so nadzirali in ocenjevali na več načinov: z rednimi sestanki, poročili o nadzoru s strani organov izvajanja, revizijami pomoči in obiski predstavnikov Komisije na kraju samem.
Formal monitoring took place through ISPA Monitoring Committee meetings organised twice a year in each beneficiary country.
Formalni nadzor je bil zagotovljen s sestanki nadzornega odbora ISPE, ki so bili organizirani dvakrat letno v državah upravičenkah.
Similarly, staff of Commission delegations played an important role in supervising the daily management and implementation of the ISPA measures.
Iz navedenega lahko zaključimo, da je večina držav upravičenk precej napredovala pri praktičnem vodenju in izvajanju projektov ISPA.
Project cost should not be less than EUR 5 million but projects could be grouped if they were pursuing a same functional, geographic or economic objective.
Investicijska vrednost projekta je znašala najmanj 5 milijonov evrov, projekti pa so se lahko povezali, če so imeli enak funkcionalni, geografski ali gospodarski cilj.
The average size of projects funded amounted to EUR 33 million, with a few large-scale projects, such as a EUR 340 million investment for railway electrification and upgrading, and a EUR 288 million investment for a water quality improvement project, both situated in Poland.
Povprečni proračun financiranih projektov se je povečal na 33 milijonov evrov. Na Poljskem smo izvedli dva večja projekta, prvega z investicijsko vrednostjo 340 milijonov evrov za elektrifikacijo in posodobitev železnice in drugega z vrednostjo 288 milijonov evrov za izboljšanje kakovosti vode.
From all this, one can conclude that most of the beneficiary countries have made major progress in terms of hands-on capacity to manage and implement the ISPA funds.
Komisija je ocenila tehnične, gospodarske in finančne vidike vsakega projekta na razpisu.
Progressively, they succeeded in better observing the standards and procedures that apply to the traditional instruments of EU cohesion policy, namely the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund.
Po potrebi se je naslonila na zunanjo ekspertizo mednarodnih finančnih institucij, kot sta Evropska investicijska banka in Evropska banka za obnovo in razvoj, ki sta tudi končni partnerici instrumenta ISPA pri financiranju posojil.
The Commission appraised the technical, economic and fi -nancial merits of each project application.
Poleg tega so vložile precejšen trud v vzpostavitev sistemov za nadzor in finančno kontrolo evropske pomoči.
Where necessary, it relied on external expertise.
Ti sistemi so včasih celo bolj dovršeni kot sistemi v starih državah članicah.
This included expertise from international financial institutions such as the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development — its privileged partners for complementing ISPA grants with loan financing. financing.
To pomeni, da so različni ukrepi, ki jih je Komisija sprejela v podporo oblastem, zadolženim za programiranje, izvajanje, vodenje in finančno kontrolo, obrodili sadove.
Moreover, they have worked hard to set up financial supervision and control systems for EU aid which are sometimes more advanced in the concept of good control systems than some of the EU-15 Member States.
Pred odobritvijo pomoči se je Komisija posvetovala z odborom ISPA za vodenje, v katerem so sedeli predstavniki 15 držav članic EU.
This demonstrates that the various actions taken by the Commission in support of the authorities in charge of programming, implementation, and financial management and control are bearing fruit.
Delež pomoči je bil odvisen od številnih pogojev in zahtev. Največji delež dodeljene pomoči je znašal 75 %, povprečni pa okoli 65 %.
For instance, some of the countries still fail to allocate sufficient financial and human resources for the planning, preparation and management of EU-funded measures.
Kakovost priprave, tako kot pri vsakem infrastrukturnem projektu, določa čas, potreben za izvedbo razpisa in del.
A key example is the environment sector where the high turnover of civil
Bolj ko so projekti skrbno pripravljeni in dodelani, hitreje
Before deciding on granting assistance, the Commission consulted the ISPA Management Committee, which was composed of representatives of the EU-15 Member States.
Kljub vsemu je treba odpraviti še nekaj slabosti, če želimo imeti zares učinkovit in zanesljiv sistem vodenja in finančne kontrole.
The grant rate varied from project to project according to a number of conditions and requirements.
Nekatere države tako še vedno ne zagotavljajo dovolj finančnih sredstev in ljudi za načrtovanje, pripravo in vodenje s strani EU financiranih ukrepov.
The admissible ceiling being 75 % of the eligible investment cost, the average grant rate has been around 65 %.
Usposobljenost osebja za vodenje zapletenih infrastrukturnih projektov ni vedno na zahtevani ravni, zlasti kar zadeva postopke razpisa in sklepanja pogodb.

The Cohesion Fund A boost for European solidarity servants due to low salaries is rather endemic.
Kohezijski sklad, krepitev evropskega sodelovanja
From the ISPA to the Cohesion Fund
Od programa ISPA do Kohezijskega sklada
Their per capita GDP being below 90 % of the EU average, they have all become eligible for the Cohesion Fund.
Če njihov bruto nacionalni proizvod na prebivalca ne presega 90% povprečja EU, so upravičene do sredstev iz Kohezijskega sklada.
This Fund is the EU cohesion policy instrument on which the ISPA was based and which also supports the realisation of investments in environment and transport infrastructure.
Ta instrument evropske kohezijske politike, ki je služil kot model za oblikovanje instrumenta ISPA, omogoča financiranje investicij v okoljsko in prometno infrastrukturo.
Ongoing ISPA projects have been transformed into Cohesion Fund projects and will be completed under this Fund’s rules.
Tekoči projekti ISPA so prešli pod okrilje Kohezijskega sklada, zato bo tudi njihovo dokončanje potekalo v skladu z novimi pravili.
As decided at the Copenhagen European Council in December 2002, Bulgaria and Romania will continue to benefit from the ISPA and will receive gradually increasing allocations until the end of 2006.
Na vrhu EU v Koebenhavnu decembra 2002 so sklenili, da bosta Bolgarija in Romunija še naprej deležni pomoči programa ISPA. Dodeljena sredstva bodo postopoma naraščala vse do konca leta 2006.
