The Court therefore recommends that the improvementscurrently being madetothe Commission’s selection procedure should be continued, especially as regards the requirement for information on the expected impactoftheprogrammeandthe manner in whichit willbe measured,andthatthe Member States should continuetoincrease their selectivity, amongst other things by verifyinginformation as to the relevance of the proposals.
Sodišče zato priporoča, da Komisija še naprej izboljšuje izbirni postopek, zlasti glede zahtevanih informacij o pričakovanem učinku programainnačina merjenjategaučinka, ter da države članice postajajo še bolj selektivne, med drugim s preverjanjem informacij, dase prepričajo o ustreznosti predlogov.
Thechecksmadeontheselectionofthe implementing bodies, which have a key role to play in programme implementation, are too limited. The Commission’s subsequent monitoring of expenditure, on the other hand, has been stepped up.
Izvedeni preglediizbranihizvajalskih organov, ki imajo ključno vlogo pri izvajanju programa, so preveč omejeni, vendar je Komisija že močno okrepila svoje poznejše spremljanje odhodkov.
By contrast, significantcontrol weaknesses, whichhad been repeatedly identified over the last few years, still persist in Spain and Italy.
Za razliko od tega se v Španiji in Italiji še vedno pojavljajo bistvene slabosti pri nadzoru,kiso bile ugotovljeneže v prejšnjih letih.
Although action has finally been taken in thesetwo Member States in an attempt to correct these shortcomings, at the time of the audit it was still too early to say whether these changes had been effective, so this will haveto be confirmedinthefuture.
Čeprav sta omenjeni državi končno začeli ukrepati, da bi odpravili te sla-bosti,jebilo medrevizijošeprezgodaj,da bi lahko potrdili uspešnost teh sprememb, zato botrebatostoriti v prihodnosti.
The European Union has implemented and cofinanced promotion measures for agricultural products since the beginning of the 1980s.
Evropska unija od začetka osemdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja izvaja in sofinancira ukrepe za promocijo kmetijskih proizvodov.
Until 1999 these measures were handled sector by sector, on the basis of a range of regulatory provisions specific to the various common market organisations(CMOs).
Do leta 1999 soseti ukrepiizvajali po posameznihsektorjih na podlagirazličnih uredbenih določb, kiso veljale zarazneskupnetržne ureditve.

The annual budget appropriations for information provision and promotion measuresfor agricultural products haverisen strongly overthe lastfew years,from 17 million euroin 2002to 50 million eurosince 2007(see Graph 1).
Odobrena letna proračunska sredstva za ukrepe za informiranje o kmetijskih proizvodihin za njihovo promocijo so se v preteklih nekajletih krepko povečala,sajsosezvišalas 17 milijonov EUR v letu 2002 na 50 milijonov EUR odleta 2007(glej diagram 1).
Most of the cost relates to the EU’s co-financing of programmes.
Večina odhodkov ustreza deležu EU k sofinanciranju programov.
Around 200 programmes were running during the period 2007–08, involving 23 different Member States, sometimes as part of ‘multi-country’ programmes cofinanced byseveral Member States atthesametime.

OVERALLIMPRESSION OF THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
SPLOŠNI VTIS O SISTEMU UPRAVLJANJA
The programmes are usually submitted by‘proposing organisations’.
Programe običajno predložijo „organizacije predlagateljice“.
Member States, having assessed proposalsfor programmesforcon-formity with the regulation, suitability and value for money,send the Commission those which they have agreed to co-finance.
Ko države članice ocenijo primernost predlogov programov, njihovo skladnost z uredbenimi določbami in razmerje med kakovostjo in ceno, Komisiji posredujejo predloge, ki so jih pripravljene sofinancirati.
The Commission, after examiningthe proposals and possiblyrequesting amendments,selectsthe programmesthat areto be co-financed.
Komisija predloge preuči, morda zahteva spremembe, nato pa izbere programe, ki bodosofinancirani.
These programmes are then carried out by the ‘implementing bodies’.
Programe izvajajo „izvajalski organi“, ki jih izbere organizacija predlagateljica po „natečajnem postopku z ustreznimi sredstvi“.
Thesebodies must be selected by the proposing organisation after ‘inviting competitive offers by all appropriate means’.The Member Stateisresponsiblefor monitoringtheconditionsunder whichthe programmes are selected and for informing the Commission about this procedure.
Države članice so odgovorne za nadziranje pogojev, pod katerimi se izberejo ti programi,in za obveščanje Komisije otem postopku.
Under the terms of shared management, the Member State is also respon-siblefor monitoring the properimplementation of the programmes, payments to beneficiaries and related checks.
Države članice so v okviru deljenega upravljanja odgovorne tudi za spremljanje pravilnega izvajanja programov, plačil upravičencem in s tem povezanih pregledov.
A monitoringgroup, presided over by the Member State concerned and including in practice arepresentative ofthe Commission, meetsregularlyto monitor the progress ofthe various programmes.
Spremljevalna skupina, ki ji predseduje zadevna državačlanicain kiji v praksi pomagatudi predstavnik Komisije,se rednosestaja, da bispremljala napredek priraznih programih.
The main reason behind this audit is that, although the budget devoted to information provision and promotion measuresforagricultural productsisstillrelatively modest, it has been constantly growing over the last few years.
Glavni razlog za to revizijo je, da se je proračun za ukrepe za informiranje o kmetijskih proizvodih in njihovo promocijo v zadnjih nekaj letih stalno povečeval, čeprav je trenutno še vedno relativno skromen.
Moreover, it could be further enlarged in the future, particularly as promotion measures are included in the ‘Green Box’for WTO negotiations.
Polegtegabigabilo mogoče v prihodnosti še povečati, predvsem zato, ker ukrepi za promocijo sodijo v „zeleni paket“ pri pogajanjih s STO.
Indeed, a request along these lines was made bythe European Parliament atthe end of 20073.
Nenazadnjeje ob konculeta 2007 zahtevo v tem smislu podal Evropski parlament3.

The Court’s audit concerned the effectiveness of the information provision and promotion measures and the regularity of the expenditure.

OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCEINDICATORS
CILJIIN KAZALNIKI USPEŠNOSTI
Article 27(3) of Council
Člen 27(3) Uredbe Sveta
The stated objective of the information provision and promotion measures for agricultural products is to promote European agricultural products.
Zastavljeni cilj ukrepov za informiranje o kmetijskih proizvodih in njihovo promocijo je promovirati evropske kmetijske proizvode.
However, the current arrangements result from merging the earlier schemes from the various CMOs withoutsettingoutan overallstrategy or defining‘SMART’4 objectives.
Vendar so sedanje ureditve posledica združitve prejšnjih določbizrazličnih skupnih tržnih ureditev, pri čemer ni bila določena skupna strategija niti niso bili opredeljeni cilji SMART4.
Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p.
(ES, Euratom) št. 1605/2002 z dne 25. junija 2002 o finančni uredbi, ki se uporablja za splošni proračun Evropskih skupnosti (UL L 248, 16.9.2002, str.
1) provides that: ‘Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timed [SMART] objectives shall be set for all sectors of activity covered by the budget’.
1), določa: „Za vse sektorje dejavnosti, ki jih zajema proračun, se določijo specifični, merljivi, dosegljivi, ustrezni in časovno opredeljeni cilji“, torej tako imenovani cilji SMART(iz angleščine).
Inthe absence of‘SMART’ objectivesresultingfrom a clearstrategy and by which the effectiveness of the policy could be evaluated, the indicators monitoredandcirculated bythe Commission(see Box 1) are simply ‘participation’ statistics and do not measuretheresults orimpact ofthe policy.
Ker ni ciljev SMART, ki bi bili posledica jasne strategije in s katerimi bi lahko ocenili uspešnost politike, so kazalniki, ki jih Komisija spremlja in posreduje (glej okvir 1), le statistični podatki o „prisotnosti“, ki ne merijorezultatov ali učinka politike.
Statistics such as these are not satisfactory as they are, but defining more suitableindicators seems difficult, pending a better definition ofthe objectives.
Takšni statistični podatki v svoji sedanji obliki niso zadovoljivi, vendar se zdi, da je težko določiti ustreznejše, dokler cilji ne bodo bolje opredeljeni.
STATISTICS MONITORED BY THE COMMISSION
STATISTIČNI PODATKI, KIJIH SPREMLJA KOMISIJA
• Number of products involved.
• Število zajetih proizvodov.
• Number of countries or geographic areas covered.
• Število pokritih držav ali geografskih območij.
LIMITS OF EXPECTEDIMPACT OF THE POLICY
OMEJITVE PRIČAKOVANEGA UČINKA TE POLITIKE
Despite strong growth since 2002, the Community budget devoted to information provision and promotion measures is still relatively small inrelationtothelarge number of products, geographical areas and subjects to be covered.
Čeprav se je proračun Skupnosti za ukrepe za informiranje in promocijo odleta 2002 krepko povečal,ješe vednorelativno majhen glede na veliko število proizvodov, geografskih območij in tem, ki jih pokriva.
In fact the Commission’s guidelines cover most of agricultural production and a list of countries corresponding to mostofthe world market (see Annex II).
Komisijine smernice v bistvu pokrivajo večino kmetijske proizvodnje in vsebujejo seznam držav,ki predstavljajovečinosvetovnega trga(glej Prilogo II).
In addition, there are many PDOs, PGIs and other qualitylabels which aresuitablefor promotion measures.
Polegtegaje za promocijske ukrepe primernih veliko zaščitenih označb porekla, zaščitenih geografskih oznak in drugih oznak kakovosti.
Given these objectives, a comparison between the promotion expenditure of other national or private stakeholders confirmsthatthesums committed arerather modest(see Box 2).
Glede nate ciljeje primerjava z odhodki za promocijo, ki jih imajo druge nacionalne ali zasebne zainteresirane strani, potrdila, da so temu namenjena sredstva precej skromna (glej okvir 2).
Taking into account this limited budget, the measures being taken cannot ontheir own have asignificantimpact onthe objectives.
Sprejeti ukrepi ob upoštevanju tega omejenega proračuna ne morejo sami posebi bistveno vplivati na doseganje ciljev.

• The promotion budget of the Interprofessional Council of Bordeaux wine (Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux, CIVB) was more than 21 million euro in 2008.
• Proračun za promocijo medstrokovnega sveta za bordojsko vino (v fr. Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux, CIVB) je v letu 2008 presegel 21 milijonov EUR.
• The Italian authorities plan expenditure in 2013 of more than 100 million euro just for the promotion of Italian wine.
• Italijanske oblasti nameravajo vletu 2013 zgolj za promocijoitalijanskega vina porabiti več kot 100 milijonov EUR.
To achieve these objectives, these programmes ought at least, in accordance with the recitals of Regulation (EC) No 3/2008 (see Box 3), to bepartofthe wider framework of national and private measures, particularly through the notion of complementarity or the multiplier effect.
Za dosego teh ciljev bi morali biti ti programi v skladu z uvodnimi izjavami Uredbe (ES) št. 3/2008 (glej okvir 3) vsaj del širšega okvira nacionalnih in zasebnih ukrepov, zlasti za namen dopolnjevanja in pomnoževalnega učinka.
There is, however, no instrument for guaranteeing or measuring, on the one hand, consistency or complementarity with the various national and private promotion policies, or, on the other hand, a ‘multiplier effect on national and private initiatives’.
Vendar ni nobenega instrumenta, s katerim bi bilo na eni strani mogoče zagotoviti ali meriti skladnost ali dopolnjevanje z različnimi nacionalnimi in zasebnimi politikami za promocijo, na drugi strani pa pomnoževalni učinek na državne in zasebne pobude.
Moreover, the Commission does not yet havefull orreliableinformation about the various budgets orsimilar measuresimplementedin each Member State.
Poleg tega Komisija še nima celotnih in zanesljivih informacij o različnih proračunih ali podobnih ukrepih, kiseizvajajo v posameznih državah članicah.
• ‘[…] to develop an overall, coherent information and promotion policy […]
• „[…] razvijati skupno povezano informacijsko in promocijsko politiko […]“.
• ‘Such a policy usefully supplements and reinforces the schemes run by Member States […].’
• „Taka politika dopolnjuje in krepi ukrepe držav članic […]“.
• ‘Such action, by helping to open up new markets in third countries, is also likely to have a multiplier effect on national and private initiatives.’
• „Taka dejavnost, s katero se pomagajo odpirati novi trgi v tretjih državah, bo verjetno imela pomnoževalni učinek na državne in zasebne pobude“.
The available evaluation reports5, while recognising that Community co-financing may well have generated some positive effects, also underlined the absence of a coordination mechanism and the limited synergies or aspects of complementarity(see Box 4).
V razpoložljivih ocenjevalnih poročilih5 se sicer priznava, da je sofinanciranje Skupnosti lahko imelo nekatere pozitivne učinke, vendar je tudi poudarjeno, da ni mehanizma za usklajevanjein da so sinergije oziroma vidiki dopolnjevanja omejeni(glej okvir 4).

5Komisija je v obdobju 2006–2007 naročila sedem zunanjih ocenjevanj različnih tem ali geografskih območij.
These evaluations were based inter alia on examining samples of programmes implemented with effect from 2002 or 2003.
