Since October 2002, all EIB operations in the Mediterranean region have been brought together under the facility for Euro-Mediterranean investment and partnership (FEMIP), which wassetupfollowinga decision ofthe European Councilin Barcelona.
Od oktobra 2002 so vsi posli EIB v Sredozemlju združeni v okviru Sklada za evro-sredozemske naložbe in partnerstvo (FEMIP), ki je bil ustanovljen na podlagi sklepa Evropskega sveta v Barceloni.
The objective wasto provide a new impetus to the economic development of the Mediter-raneanregion byimprovingfinancial and economic cooperation.
Njegov cilj je bil dati nov zagon gospodarskemu razvoju Sredozemlja z izboljševanjem sodelovanja nafinančnemin gospodarskem področju.
In the period from September 2006 to November 2007 the Court carried out a performance audit of the banking measures financed under the MEDA programme and the previous protocols, on the basis of the followingtwo questions.
V obdobju med septembrom 2006 in novembrom 2007 je Sodišče izvedlo revizijo smotrnosti poslovanja za bančne ukrepe, financirane iz programa MEDA in pod prejšnjimi protokoli, na podlagi naslednjih dveh vprašanj:
(a)Are the projects adequately monitored by the Commission and the EIBby means of proper control procedures, ensuring that there isfeed-backinthe event of obstacles affectingthe execution of the projects?
(a)Ali Komisijain EIB ustrezno spremljata projekte s pomočjo ustreznih kontrolnih postopkov ter tako zagotavljata povratne informacije v primeru, dase priizvrševanju projekta pojavijo ovire?
(b)Arethe projects achievingtheir objectives?
(b)Alise cilji projektov dosegajo?
The audit was based on a review of the approval, implementation, monitoring and reporting systems in place at the Commission and the EIB.
Revizija je temeljila na pregledu sistemov za odobritve, izvajanje, spre-mljanjein poročanje, ki jih uporabljata Komisijain EIB.
The audit also included a review of relevant reports issued by the Commission,the EIB or external consultants.
Zajela je tudi pregled relevantnih poročil, ki so jih izdali Komisija, EIB ali zunanji svetovalci.
Atthe projectlevel, a detailed deskreview was conducted on:
Na ravni projektov je bil izveden podroben dokumentacijski pregled:
—30 technical assistance projects, selected from the 2003–06 period andrepresentingacoverageof32 %intermsofthenumberof projects;
30 projektov tehnične pomoči, ki so bili izbrani iz obdobja od leta 2003 do 2006 in glede na število projektov predstavljajo 32-odstotno pokritost;

Duringthesevisits, meetings wereheld with representatives of local EC delegations, EIB offices, local authorities, project promoters, financial intermediaries andfinal beneficiaries.
Med temi obiski so se odvijali sestanki s predstavniki lokalnih delegacij Evropske komisije, uradov EIB, lokalnih organov oblasti, nosilcev projektov,finančnih posrednikovin končnih upravičencev.

MONITORING BY THE COMMISSION
SPREMLJANJE, KI GAIZVAJA KOMISIJA
For delegated management, the Commission is supposed to implement aform of monitoring that is complementary to the monitoring performed bythe EIB.
Pri prenesenem upravljanju naj bi Komisija izvajala obliko spremljanja, ki dopolnjuje spremljanje, ki ga opravi EIB. Komisija bi morala zlasti zagotoviti, da:
—that the banking measures financed under the MEDA programme are adequately managed bythe EIB; and
EIB ustrezno upravlja bančne ukrepe, ki se financirajo iz programa MEDA,in
—that information is received by the Commission from the EIB, both atthe central andlocallevel,sothatit canfulfilits duties.
– od EIB prejmeinformacijetako nacentralnikot nalokalniravni, dalahkoizpolnisvoje dolžnosti.
The Court noted that the Commission did not define its own monitoring and evaluation strategy for banking measures managed by the EIB.
Sodišče je ugotovilo, da Komisija ni opredelila svoje strategije spremljanja in vrednotenja bančnih ukrepov, ki jih upravlja EIB.
It relied entirely on the EIB for the financial and operational management of these measures.
Glede finančnega in operativnega upravljanja teh ukrepov se je v celoti zanašala na EIB.
The management convention for risk capital operations and interest rate subsidies signed in 1992 is vague and does notset out clear managementrules and procedures.

EXAMPLE OF SUCCESSFUL DIRECT MANAGEMENT BY THE COMMISSION THROUGH THE LOCAL EC DELEGATION WITH THE SUPPORT OF EXPERTS
PRIMER USPEŠNEGA NEPOSREDNEGA UPRAVLJANJA, KI GAIZVAJA KOMISIJA PREK SVOJE LOKALNE DELEGACIJE S POMOČJO STROKOVNJAKOV
Support programme for the Moroccan guarantee institutions — Morocco is programme is administered locally by the EC Delegation, with the support of an external expert.
Ta program lokalno vodi delegacija Evropske komisije s pomočjo zunanjega strokovnjaka.
e objectives of the programme are:
Cilja programa sta:
—to develop the financial and technical capacities of the guarantee institutions and the banks requesting the guarantees;
– razviti finančne in tehnične zmogljivosti jamstvenih ustanov in bank, ki zahtevajo jamstva (garancije);
—to increase the financing of enterprises by providing counter-guarantees.
– povečati financiranje podjetij z zagotavljanjem protigarancij.
A er some delay at the outset linked to the establishment of the technical assistance team, this project was closely monitored by the local EC Delegation, making it possible for appropriate action to be taken wherever necessary.
Po začetni zamudi, ki je bila povezana z ustanovitvijo ekipe za tehnično pomoč, je lokalna delegacija Evropske komisije podrobno spremljala ta projekt in omogočila ustrezne ukrepe vsakič, ko so bili potrebni.
As the result of the good Commission direct management, the financial environments for local SMEs improved and the capacity building powers of the local guarantee institutions and banks were enhanced.
Zaradi dobrega neposrednega upravljanja, ki ga izvaja Komisija, so se finančna okolja za lokalna MSP izboljšala, sposobnosti lokalnih jamstvenih ustanov in bank za izgradnjo zmogljivosti pa so se okrepile.
For the directly managed operations, the Commission should implement aform of monitoring designedto ensure:
Pri neposredno upravljanih poslih bi Komisija moralaizvajati obliko spremljanja, kije zasnovana za zagotavljanje:
—that weaknesses in the management of the operations are quickly identified; and
– hitrega ugotavljanjaslabosti pri upravljanju poslovin
—that corrective actionistaken.
– izvajanja popravnih ukrepov.
For individual support projects/programmes which the Commission administered directly, the Commission undertook systematic and effective monitoring and evaluationthroughitslocal EC delegations.
Komisija je pri posameznih projektih/programih podpore, ki jih je vodila neposredno, prek svojih lokalnih delegacij izvedla sistematično in uspešnospremljanjein vrednotenje.
MONITORING BY THE EIB
SPREMLJANJE, KI GAIZVAJA EIB
In general, an effective monitoring has to cover all stages of a project to ensure the quality of the project design, its relevance, the efficiency andtimeliness ofitsimplementation andthe achievement of the foreseen objectives.
Običajno mora uspešno spremljanje zajeti vse faze projekta, da se zagotovijo kakovost zasnove projekta, njegova relevantnost, učinkovitost in pravočasnost njegovega izvajanja ter doseganje predvidenih ciljev.
It should be performed on a regular basis to ensure that the required information is providedandthatthelegal and contractual obligations are met.
Izvajati bi ga bilo treba redno, da se zagotovi posredovanje zahtevanih informacij ter izpolnjevanje pravnihin pogodbenih zahtev.
EXAMPLE OFIMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY’S FINANCIALINTERESTS
PRIMER UČINKA NA FINANČNEINTERESE SKUPNOSTI
Global risk capital operations — Morocco ese global risk capital operations were characterised by the channelling of funds to SMEs through local financial intermediaries via a centralised intermediary.
Za te globalne posle s tveganim kapitalom je bilo značilno, da so bila sredstva za MSP prenesena s pomočjo lokalnih nančnih posrednikov prek centraliziranega posrednika.
For several years the EIB did not ensure sufficient follow-up of these operations and did not ensure that the various actors fulfilled their contractual obligations.
EIB več let ni zagotavljala zadostnega nadaljnjega ukrepanja po teh poslih in ni zagotovila, da bi različni udeleženci izpolnjevali svoje pogodbene obveznosti.
For example some final beneficiaries did not pay the interest on their loans for more than 10 years.
Na primer, nekateri končni upravičenci več kot 10 let niso plačevali obresti na svoja posojila.
e EIB had no complete financial overview of the amounts due but unpaid from the centralised intermediary, financial intermediaries and final beneficiaries.
EIB ni imela celovitega finančnega pregleda nad zneski, ki so zapadli, vendar jih centralizirani posrednik, finančni posredniki in končni upravičenci niso plačali.
In addition the valuation of the participations is uncertain and has not been subject to any write-down.
Poleg tega je vrednotenje udeležb negotovo in ni bilo predmet nobenega odpisa.
Out of an original value of 31,6 million euro, the value remaining was assessed to be only 10,5 million euro as per EIB valuation.
Od prvotne vrednosti 31,6 milijona EUR je preostala vrednost po oceni EIB znašala samo 10,5 milijona EUR.
Due to their specific nature, banking measures represented an area of highrisk,especiallyasthey were based on assumptions as to the capacity of the intermediary/promoter to meet predefined objectives.
Bančni ukrepi so zaradi svoje posebne narave predstavljali področje z visokim tveganjem, zlasti ker so temeljili na predpostavkah o zmogljivosti posrednika/nosilca za izpolnjevanje vnaprej opredeljenih ciljev.
Furthermore these activities were highly dependent on external factors.
Poleg tega so bile te dejavnosti močnoodvisneodzunanjih dejavnikov.
Against this background, monitoring, controls and reporting were keysuccessfactors.
Zaradi teh okoliščin so bili ključni dejavniki uspeha spremljanje, kontrolein poročanje.
During the early years of the programme, and until 2005, the EIB did notimplementadequate monitoring and controls.
EIB v prvih letih programa in do leta 2005 ni izvajala ustreznega spremljanja in kontrol.
In addition the reporting flow from the intermediaries/promoters wasinsufficient.
Poleg tega pritok informacij, ki jih posredujejo posredniki/nosilci, ni bil zadosten.
This mainlyaffectedthe monitoring of projects and the implementation of corrective action for projects that werenot meetingtheir objectives orintermediaries/promoters who were not meetingtheir contractual obligations.
Toje vplivalo predvsem na spremljanje projektov in izvajanje popravnih ukrepov pri projektih, ki niso dosegali svojih ciljev, ali pri posrednikih/nosilcih, ki niso izpolnjevali svojih pogodbenih obveznosti.
This lack of adequate monitoringaffected the Community’s financial interests, notably duetolaterecovery or non-recovery offunds and the waiving of some contract clauses,for exampleregarding penaltiesforlate payment.
To pomanjkanje ustreznega spremljanjajevplivalo na finančne interese Skupnosti, zlasti zaradi izterjave sredstev z zamudo ali neizterjave sredstev ter opuščanja nekaterih pogodbenih določb, na primer v zvezi s kaznimi za zamude pri plačilih.
EXAMPLE OF WEAK EIB MONITORING COMBINED WITH A LACK OF REPORTING FROM THEINTERMEDIARY
PRIMER ŠIBKEGA SPREMLJANJA S STRANI EIB, KI GA JE SPREMLJALO POMANJKANJE POROČIL POSREDNIKA
Risk capital investment company — Tunisia is financial intermediary was a risk capital partner under the “Development of the private sector II” and “Support private sector” projects and financed 29 projects in various sectors for a total amount of over 7,5 million euro.
Ta finančni posrednik je bil partner pri poslih s tveganim kapitalom pri projektih v okviru „Razvoja zasebnega sektorja II“ (Development of the Private Sector II) in „Podpore zasebnemu sektorju“ (Support Private Sector) ter je financiral 29 projektov v različnih sektorjih za skupni znesek več kot 7,5 milijona EUR.
It also participated in two Tunisian privatisations for a total amount of 6,7 million euro.
Sodeloval je tudi pri dveh privatizacijah v Tuniziji za skupni znesek 6,7 milijona EUR.
e intermediary did not systematically forward information allowing the EIB to follow the evolution of its participations within the contractual deadlines.
Informacij, ki bi EIB omogočile slediti razvoju njenih udeležb, posrednik ni sistematično pošiljal v pogodbenih rokih.
It did not always inform the EIB of events that substantially affected the investments, although it was contractually obliged to do so.
EIB ni vedno obvestil niti o dogodkih, ki so močno vplivali na naložbe, čeprav bi to moral storiti po pogodbeni obveznosti.
Reimbursements and remunerations for an amount of 2,2 million euro dating back to the 1999–2004 period were not paid by the intermediary.
Posrednik ni plačal povračil in plač iz obdobja med letoma 1999–2004 v znesku 2,2 milijona EUR.
When this was discovered by the EIB in 2004, an amount of 743 544 euro was paid and a specific protocol was established in 2005 to regularise the situation before the end of 2006 at the latest.
Ko je EIB to leta 2004 ugotovila, je bil izplačan znesek v višini 743 544 EUR in leta 2005 vzpostavljen poseben protokol za ureditev položaja najpozneje do konca leta 2006.
A er the signature of the protocol, payment defaults were still noted during the audit of subsequent amounts due. is situation was only settled at the end of 2007.
Po podpisu protokola so bila pri reviziji poznejših zapadlih zneskov še vedno ugotovljena neplačila. Ta položaj je bil urejen šele na koncu leta 2007.
Since 2005, when the department responsible was reorganised, the EIB hasimplemented a more structured monitoring approach,including enhanced controls and reporting, notably with the establishment of individualfollow-upsheets.
Odkar je bil leta 2005 odgovorni oddelek reorganiziran, je EIB izvajala bolj strukturiran pristop spremljanja, ki je zajemal tudi okrepljene kontrole in poročanje, zlasti z uvedbo posameznih listov za nadaljnje ukrepanje.
However, shortcomings resulting from the past are being addressed butstill needto beresolved.
Toda čeprav se pomanjkljivosti iz preteklosti odpravljajo, jihje še vedno treba razrešiti.
This was notably the case for the global risk capital operations granted to financialintermediariesin Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia,for which an information gapstill existed.
Takoje bilo zlasti pri globalnih poslih s tveganim kapitalom, ki so bili odobreni finančnim posrednikom v Egiptu, Maroku in Tuniziji in pri katerih je še vedno obstajala informacijska vrzel.
COORDINATION BETWEEN THE EIB AND THE COMMISSION
USKLAJEVANJE MED EIBIN KOMISIJO
Accordingto Article 4(1) ofthe MEDAregulation,the Commissionis required to ensure the effective coordination of the assistance efforts undertaken by the Community, including the European Investment Bank, andindividual Member States,in ordertoincreasethe coherence and complementarity oftheir cooperation programme.
V skladu s členom 4(1) uredbe MEDA mora Komisija zagotoviti uspešno usklajevanje prizadevanj za pomoč, ki jih izvajajo Skupnost, vključno z Evropsko investicijsko banko, in posamezne države članice, da bi povečala medsebojno povezanost in dopolnjevanje njihovega programa sodelovanja.
The Commission, and especially two of the EC delegations in the partner countries visited bythe Court, were notsufficientlyinformed of EIB projects and wastherefore not ableto monitor orfollowthem.
Komisijainzlasti dve njeni delegaciji v državah partnericah, kijuje obiskalo Sodišče, niso bile zadostno obveščene o projektih EIBinjih zato niso mogle spremljati ali glede njih nadalje ukrepati.
Furthermore, even when information had been transmitted by the EIB to the Commission’s central officesin Brussels,it had not always been shared withthe delegationsvisited bythe Court.Theaudits onthe spot did, however, show that the establishment of EIB representative offices hadfacilitated communication between the Commission and the EIB at thelocallevel.
Poleg tega tuditakrat, koje EIB poslalainformacije osrednjim uradom Komisije v Bruslju, te informacije niso bile vedno posredovane delegacijam, ki jih je obiskalo Sodišče. Vendar so revizije na kraju samem pokazale, da je ustanovitev predstavništev EIB olajšala komunikacijo med Komisijo in EIB nalokalni ravni.
This was especially notedin Morocco, with the organisation ofregular meetings.
Toje bilo opaženo zlasti v Maroku, kjer so bili organiziranirednisestanki.
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
OKOLJSKO SPREMLJANJE
When delegated management is applied and especially in the case of projects with potential environmental impact, environmental compliance hasto be monitoredto ensurethat environmentalrules and requirements are being respected.
Pri uporabi prenesenega upravljanja in zlasti v primeru projektov s potencialnim vplivom na okolje je treba spremljati okoljsko skladnost, da se zagotovi spoštovanje okoljskih pravil in zahtev.
Environmental assessments should identify possible environmental effects and propose measures to miti-gatethem.

between the EIB and the Commission services on environmental aspects of 2002.
Delovnipostopki med Komisijo in EIB9 določajo, da se EIB prepriča, da so projekti, ki bodo financirani, skladni z okoljskimi pravili in in službami Komisije o okoljskih vidikih iz leta 2002.
The EIB did not always receive sufficient evidence from financial intermediaries/promoters regarding environmental compliance.
EIB od finančnih posrednikov/nosilcev ni vedno prejela zadostnih dokazov o okoljski skladnosti.
This was thecasefortwo projects (nitrogen fertilizers and pharmaceuticals) includedinthelist ofsectorsrequiring detailed descriptionandan analysis ofthe environmental measures.
Tako je bilo pri dveh projektih (dušikova gnojila in farmacevtski izdelki), vključenih na seznam sektorjev, pri katerihsta potrebna podroben opisin analiza okoljskih ukrepov.
Theenvironmental monitoring performed by the EIB waslimitedto documentary checks, which did not constitute a comprehensive environmental monitoring exercise.
Okoljsko spremljanje, ki ga je izvedla EIB, je bilo omejeno na preglede dokumentacije, kar ni predstavljalo celostnega okoljskega spremljanja.
For intermediated operations, thefinancingcontracts andthe practical provisions did notrequire environmental monitoring by the financial intermediaries after the investmentscreening and approval phases.
