It is also important to stress that these debates were taken into account by the Commission when drawing up its proposed regulations for structural actions (2007–13), which it adopted on 14 July.
Vse od leta 1994 ohranja cilje in posebne oblike izvajanja ob visoki stopnji koordinacije z
These future regulations are particularly significant for the Cohesion Fund.
Da bi enotni trg deloval, morajo najmanj razvite države članice veliko vlagati in si na ta način povečati zmožnost rasti.
Complementary to and less well known than the Structural Funds, the Cohesion Fund is not in any way of secondary importance.
Sem spadajo tudi zajetna dodatna vlaganja v gradnjo, obnovo in modernizacijo infrastrukture.
As it enters its 10th year, EU enlargement is lending this instrument a new dimension that will enable it to give added impetus to European solidarity.
Po drugi strani pa morajo te države, če se želijo vključiti v evroobmočje, zmanjšati proračunski primanjkljaj in nadzorovati javni dolg.
This is why Inforegio Panorama decided to devote this dossier to the Fund.
Od njih se torej zahteva nadzor javnih financ in povečanje investicij.
The Cohesion Fund was set up to help the less prosperous Member States resolve a dilemma: to provide the vital development of infrastructure needed for their trans-European transport networks and environmental protection while ensuring that the high cost of these major works does not undermine their budgetary efforts to meet the economic and monetary union criteria.
let se za Kohezijski sklad začenja novo obdobje, saj se je 1. maja 2004 EU pridružilo deset novih držav upravičenk do sredstev iz tega sklada.
Although applicable to the whole of a country’s territory without distinguishing between regions, by its very nature Cohesion Fund aid makes a major contribution to regional development, in association with ERDF aid.
Rešitev te dileme je prinesla Maastrichtska pogodba, ki je predvidela ustanovitev novega sklada za finančno pomoč najmanj razvitim državam članicam: Kohezijskega sklada.
Alongside the Cohesion Fund, between 2000 and 2004 its ‘little brother’, the Structural Instrument for Pre-Accession (ISPA), provided aid in these same fields in the central and east European countries, which were candidate EU members (including Bulgaria and Romania).
Z njegovo pomočjo so štiri prvotne države prejemnice sredstev (Španija, Portugalska, Irska in Grčija) izpolnile konvergenčne kriterije gospodarske in monetarne Unije ter nadaljevale z vlaganji v infrastrukturo.
It therefore covers the entire territory of 13 of the 25 Member States.

A remodelled cohesion policy for 2007
Kohezijski sklad, krepitev evropskega sodelovanja
The proposals include a general regulation, a regulation for each of the sources of financing — European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), European Social Fund (ESF), Cohesion Fund — and a completely new proposal to create a cross-border cooperation structure.
Razvoj predpisov o izvajanju dnjih 10 letih ostale večinoma enake, so spremembe, nastale iz izkušenj v obdobju 1994-1999, spodbudile Svet EU, da je leta 1999 v zakonodajo vnesel nekaj izboljšav.
These are major reforms that will redraw the landscape of European solidarity in an enlarged Union.
Sčasoma je tudi Komisija prilagodila svojo politiko in postopke v zvezi z vodenjem projektov.
The strategy and resources of cohesion policy will be regrouped around three new priority objectives for structural actions (in short: convergence, competitiveness and employment, cooperation).
Nova, izboljšana pravila bodo v uporabi v desetih novih državah članicah v obdobju 2004-2006 in pri projektih, ki jih že pokriva predpristopni instrument (ISPA)2.
Finally, Objective 1 will cover Member States whose gross national income (GNI) is below 90 % of the EU average and which consequently benefit from the Cohesion Fund.
Delovanje Kohezijskega sklada v naslednjem programskem obdobju pa se bo verjetno precej spremenilo.
All areas not covered by the convergence objective will be liable to benefit under the competitiveness objective. Regions under the present Objective 1 that, in 2007, will no longer be eligible under the convergence objective due to the economic progress achieved, will receive specific ‘phasing in’ support on a decreasing basis to consolidate the catching-up process.
Spremenjena uredba o Kohezijskem skladu iz leta 19994 poudarja potrebo po bolj strateškem pristopu in po konsistentnosti projektov s splošno strategijo o okolju in prometu na administrativni in področni ravni.
These will replace the present Phare, Tacis, MEDA, CARDS, ISPA and Sapard programmes. The interregional cooperation networks will be extended to the whole of the Union territory.
Komisija je zavzela stališče, da je potrebno to strategijo natančneje opredeliti in vnesti v eno ali več “strateških okvirov” v vsaki državi upravičenki.
The programming will take particular account of the following specific territorial characteristics.
Ta in drugi izvedbeni predlogi so podrobno predstavljeni v Vodiču po Kohezijskem skladu iz leta 20005.

Posebnosti Kohezijskega sklada: 1994
The underlying justification for the Cohesion Fund arises from an interesting dilemma. It is clear that to make the single market work, the least prosperous Member States must
> usmeritve Komisije glede prioritet Kohezijskega sklada na področju okolja in prometa > ukrepe za privabitev zasebnih virov financiranja financiranja > spodbude za sklepanje javnozasebnih partnerstev, kar bi povečalo učinek finančnih sredstev Unije in povečalo število financiranih infrastrukturnih projektov Kohezijski sklad ni bil deležen večjega zanimanja raziskovalcev in javnosti, kot na primer njegov “bratranec”, Evropski sklad za regionalni razvoj (ESRS).
While the principles have remained broadly stable over the last 10 years, there were changes arising from the experience of implementation during the 1994–99 period, with the Council agreeing a number of improvements to the regulation in 1999. Over time, the
Njegovo neprepoznavnost lahko pojasnimo z dejstvom, da so le štiri države od petnajstih prejemale pomoč Sklada in da je deloval precej specifično, predvsem glede ciljev in izvajanja.
The Cohesion Fund A boost for European solidarity

This and other operational proposals were set out in the Guide to the Cohesion Fund of 2000 (5).
Že od začetka se razlikuje od strukturnih skladov po nekaterih posebnostih:
> certain measures to rationalise the management of the Fund, such as a new standard application form. > The Cohesion Fund provided support to projects within the eligible Member State without internal regionaldistinction. Other developments in the implementation of the Fund since 1999 can be characterised as improvements in the rules governing projects and clarification of the Commission policy in appraising and managing projects.
> Kohezijski sklad podpira projekte v državah prejemnicah pomoči brez notranjega regionalnega razlikovanja. Ostale spremembe v delovanju Sklada od leta 1999 lahko označimo kot izboljšave pravil o vodenju projektov in razjasnitev politike Komisije glede ocenjevanja in vodenja projektov.
In the 2000–04 period, common rules, to be respected in implementation, were fixed by Commission regulations.
Predpisi Komisije za obdobje 2000-2004 prinašajo nekaj sprememb na področju:
> Macroeconomic conditionality was attached to the Cohesion Fund as a funding mechanism. Essentially, the eligible Member States had to submit a convergence programme with a view to joining the euro zone. In complying with that programme each State had to avoid an excessive public deficit. As the Fund’s objective was to replace national expenditure, the additionality test of the Structural Funds was not applied. > financial management and control and financial corrections procedures (2002); > eligibility rules that align more closely to the Structural Funds eligibility fiches (2003); > The assistance was targeted on meeting the objectives of the environment action programme and contributing to the trans-European networks — transport. > simplified rules on information and publicity (2004). > The overall breakdown of assistance to projects in the eligible sectors of environment and transport had to reflect a suitable balance. The Commission interpreted this to mean a 50:50 balance in assistance to the two sectors. These regulations simplified the grant decision used for each project and brought the implementation regime for the Fund closer to that of the Structural Funds.
> finančnega upravljanja, nadzora in postopkov finančnih korekcij (2002); > Njegov mehanizem financiranja je makroekonomsko pogojen. Bistveno je, da države članice omejijo javnofi -nančni primanjkljaj na določeno raven in tako izpolnijo enega od pogojev za vstop v evroobmočje. Ker je bil cilj ustanovitve Sklada nadomestitev nacionalnih javnofi -nančnih izdatkov, pogoji preverjanja dodatnosti niso enaki kot pri strukturnih skladih. > pravila o merilih za pridobitev pomoči, ki se bolj približujejo merilom strukturnih skladov (2003); > Pomoč je namenjena uresničevanju ciljev akcijskega programa za okolje in izgradnji vseevropskega prometnega omrežja. > poenostavitve pravil o informacijah in obveščanju (2004). Ti predpisi so poenostavili postopek odobritve vsakega projekta in približali režim izvajanja Kohezijskega sklada režimu strukturnih skladov.
Also, the Commission policy and practice in appraising large projects under the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund were also refined with the publication of the revised Guide to cost-benefit analysis of investment projects in 2002 (6).
> Razdelitev sredstev med projekti na področju okolja ter prometa mora biti uravnotežena. Komisije je določila polovično razdelitev (50:50) pomoči med obema področjema. Politika in praksa Komisije pri ocenjevanju velikih projektov v okviru Kohezijskega sklada in strukturnih skladov sta se z novo izdajo publikacije Priročnik za analizo stroškovprednosti investicijskih projektov6 v letu 2002 precej poenostavili.

The Cohesion Fund A boost for European solidarity
Kohezijski sklad, krepitev evropskega sodelovanja
Communicating about the Cohesion Fund: the new regulation
Obveščanje o Kohezijskem skladu: nova uredba
As with the Structural Funds, information and publicity have to be provided regarding projects financed by the Cohesion Fund.
Tako kot pri strukturnih skladih, morajo biti tudi projekti, ki jih financira Kohezijski sklad, javni in dostopni.
In this respect, the new regulation ratified in 2004 significantly simplifies the measures laid down in Decision (EC)No 455/1996 which applied until recently.
Nova uredba s tega področja, sprejeta leta 2004, precej poenostavlja ukrepe Odločbe (ES) št. 455/1996, ki so bili v uporabi vse do danes.
The new Regulation (EC) No 621/2004, first of all reiterates the two principal messages around which Cohesion Fund communication should be structured, namely:
Nova Uredba (ES) št. 621/2004 govori zlasti o dveh ključnih sporočilih, ki naj bi oblikovali poročanje o Kohezijskem skladu, in sicer:
> the project supported by the Fund contributes to the reduction of social and economic disparities between European Union citizens; > successful implementation of the project has been made possible through the financial contribution from the Cohesion Fund. As well as explaining the project’s practical impact, the first message is a reminder of the objective of European intervention: the Union promotes equal opportunities among its citizens.
> projekt, podprt s strani Kohezijskega sklada, prispeva k zmanjšanju socialnih in gospodarskih razlik med državljani EU, > izvedbo projekta je finančno omogočil Kohezijski sklad. Poleg razlage konkretnih posledic projekta vsebuje prvo sporočilo tudi cilj evropskih ukrepov: Unija spodbuja enakost med državaljani.
Furthermore, reference to the term ‘citizen’ is not purely a formality: the final receiver of the communication, the citizen, has to feel that he or she is implicated.
Termin “državljan” ni samo olepševalna forma: končni prejemnik sporočila – državljan – se mora počutiti nagovorjenega.
The messages can be expressed in terms other than those in the regulation and there is no ban on using simple and catchy expressions.
Sporočila so lahko oblikovana tudi drugače.
The two messages are reinforced by the inclusion of the EU flag.
Tako ni prepovedana uporaba enostavnih in vabljivih fraz.
In terms of the communication tools and actions to be used, the only stipulations included in the regulation concern media relations and the positioning of signboards and commemorative plaques.
Obe sporočili naj bosta podprti s prikazom zastave EU. Uredba določa še stike z mediji in nameščenje reklamnih panojev in plakatov.
At the end of the 1993–99 period, in common with the Structural Funds, there was a significant unspent commitment balance under the Fund representing around 120 % of the 1999 budget for the Cohesion Fund by the end of 2000.
Konec obdobja 1993-1999 so pri Kohezijskem skladu, tako kot pri strukturnih skladih, zabeležili velik delež neporabljenih sredstev. Na koncu leta 2000 je skupni znesek teh sredstev znašal že 120 % proračuna sklada za leto 1999.
Now, with more than half of the members of the EU-25 implicated directly in its activities, the relative importance of the Cohesion Fund has increased.
Ker je več kot polovica članic EU-25 neposredno vključena v dejavnost Kohezijskega sklada, se je njegov pomen precej povečal.
Moreover, an increased proportion of the money being made available under cohesion policy to each of the new Member States is provided under the Cohesion Fund.
Tako je narasel tudi delež sredstev tega sklada, ki je na voljo vsaki novi državi članici.
By way of comparison, Ireland received total resources of EUR 7 840 million in the 1994–99 period, with Cohesion Fund assistance of EUR 1 490 million (current prices) or 19 % of the total.
Irska je v obdobju 1994-99 prejela skupno 7 840 milijonov evrov, od tega 1 490 milijonov evrov (današnje cene) oz. 19 % v okviru Kohezijskega sklada.
The comparable average share of the Fund for the new Member States is 35 %.
V novih državah članicah znaša delež Kohezijskega sklada v povprečju 35 %.
To address this issue, the Commission engaged in an active dialogue with all the Member States to accelerate closure.
Za rešitev tega problema je Komisija odprla aktiven dialog z vsemi državami članicami z namenom pospešitve zaključevanja projektov.
In order to further improve the quality of projects and the pace of absorption, the Commission also took the initiative in 2002 of informing the beneficiary States that it was adopting a policy of limiting the modifications allowed when granting decisions (7).
Da bi zboljšala kakovost projektov in črpanje sredstev, je leta 2002 Komisija obvestila države prejemnice pomoči, da je sprejela ukrep za zmanjšanje morebitnih sprememb pri odobritvi7.
By the end of 2003, the amount remaining represented around 40 % of the 1999 budget.
Konec leta 2003 se je delež neporabljenih sredstev zmanjšal na 40 % proračuna 1999.
The Cohesion Fund started life with four beneficiary States with a per capita gross national income (GNI) of less than 90 % of the EU average.
Kohezijski sklad je začel delovati s štirimi državami z bruto nacionalnim proizvodom (BNP) na prebivalca nižjim od 90 % povprečja v EU.
With the eligibility revision of 2003 (8), the Cohesion Fund has seen its first student graduate from the ‘class of 1993’. With an average GNI of 101 % of the EU-15 average in the years 2000–02, Ireland was deemed to exceed the eligibility threshold and has no longer been eligible for support from 2004.
Z revizijo meril za pridobitev pomoči v letu 20038je diplomirala prva študentka iz “razreda 1993”: z BDP-jem, ki je znašal 101 % povprečja v EU-15 v letih 2000-2002, je Irska presegla prag in tako od leta 2004 ni več upravičena do finančne pomoči.
This reduction to three eligible countries has quickly been superseded with the expansion of eligibility to the 10 new Member States on 1 May 2004.
Omejitev na tri države upravičenke je hitro nadomestila razširitev na deset novih držav članic, ki so se Uniji pridružile 1. maja 2004.

The Commission already signalled in the third cohesion report (9) that the Cohesion Fund should be more completely integrated into the operation of the mainstream Structural Funds.
Evropska komisija je v Tretjem poročilu o koheziji9 predvidela združitev dejavnosti Kohezijskega sklada in strukturnih skladov.
The Commission has now prepared a new legislative package to cover the implementation of the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund in the 2007–13 programming period.
Komisija je že pripravila nov zakonski okvir o izvajanju ukrepov Kohezijskega sklada in strukturnih skladov v programskem obdobju 2007-2013.

The Commission’s proposal maintains the distinctive objectives of the Cohesion Fund — in particular the retention of the macroeconomic conditional nature of Cohesion Fund support, the 90 % GNI eligibility threshold and a sectoral targeting of the assistance.
> koordinacija z ESRR na strateški ravni bo potekala v okviru ustreznih projektov. V nacionalnih programih opredeljena pomoč Kohezijskega sklada pa naj bo ločena od prioritet ESRR; > za ocenjevanje in nadzor ustreznih programov bodo uporabljali skupni sistemi (merila za izbiro, kazalci, nadzorni odbori, itd.); > merila za pridobitev pomoči ESRR in Kohezijskega sklada bodo določena v okviru splošne zakonodaje EU, posebne omejitve pa v zakonodaji ustreznega sklada; > merila za upravljanje in nadzor finančnih sredstev bodo poenotena (npr. samo ena obveza na sklad letno); Izvajanje ukrepov Kohezijskega sklada, ki ima letno na voljo skoraj trikratni proračun nekdanjega instrumenta ISPA, predstavlja znatno povečanje aktivnosti v novih državah članicah.
On the other hand, the proposal outlines a major reform in the implementation of the Cohesion Fund — a switch from project-based support to programme-based support.
Po izkušnjah Komisije in držav upravičenk z delovanjem instrumenta ISPA je jasno, da bo priprava zadostnega števila kakovostnih projektov izziv tako za nacionalne oblasti kot tudi Komisijo.
It details the common arrangements that would be set for the Cohesion Fund and the ERDF as follows.
Iz tega razloga je slednja leta 2004 predlagala nov dialog, ki bo okrepil sposobnost držav upravičenk za absorbiranje in vodenje razpoložljivih sredstev EU.
Following the experience of the Commission and the beneficiary countries with the delivery of ISPA infrastructure projects it is clear that delivering a sufficient number of quality projects will represent a major challenge for the relevant national administrations and for the Commission.
Države upravičenke bodo same določile potrebne ukrepe. Pri tem morajo upoštevati posebne okoliščine in posvetiti pozornost naslednjim fazam: snovanju, izbiri, pripravi in določitev vrednosti projektov.
> The ERDF and Cohesion Fund eligibility rules will be set out in the general regulation with eligibility restrictions set out in the regulation for each fund. > Financial management and financial control requirements will be unified (i.e. single annual commitment by fund). In 2004, the Commission therefore proposed a new dialogue to encourage beneficiary countries to reinforce their capability to absorb and manage the available EU funds.
> za pospešitev uporabe sredstev Kohezijskega sklada bodo uvedeni finančni ukrepi in finančna disciplina strukturnih skladov (letne obveze programa ter samodejno prenehanje obveznosti). Programiranje Kohezijskega sklada napoveduje novo ravnotežje v odnosih med državami upravičenkami in Komisijo na področju izvajanja ukrepov Sklada.
> The financial arrangements and spending discipline of the Structural Funds (annual programme commitments and automatic decommitment) will be introduced to encourage prompt use of the Cohesion Fund budget resources. The programming of the Cohesion Fund will herald a new balance in the relationship between the beneficiary Member States and the Commission in relation to Cohesion Fund implementation.
Države članice bodo v okviru svojih nacionalih programov po lastni presoji izbirale projekte za dodelitev pomoči Kohezijskega sklada.
The Member States will now have the authority to choose the projects for Cohesion Fund support under their national programmes while respecting the sectoral objectives of the Cohesion Fund and more limited rules on expenditure eligibility.
Hkrati bodo morale upoštevati področne cilje Sklada in nekatere predpise o upravičenosti izdatkov.
This will reduce significantly the number of projects requiring Commission approval.
S tem se bo število projektov, ki potrebujejo odobritev Komisije precej zmanjšalo.
Only in the case of major projects will the Member States be required to seek the approval of the Commission for the grant rates.
Sprejetje skupnih programskih predpisov bo imelo za posledico poenostavljeno vodenje ukrepov ESRR in Kohezijskega sklada.
Also, the application of common simplified programming rules will automatically lead to a simplified management of ERDF and Cohesion Fund activities.
Ta pristop bo prinesel večjo odgovornost organov vodenja na področju izbire, ocenjevanja, analize, nadzora, vodenja in hitrosti izvajanja ukrepov, s čimer se bo moč izogniti izgubi pomoči. Glede na naravo ukrepov Kohezijskega sklada
