In the EU-15, less than 15 % of the allocations made in 2002 had not been used in 2004 and are therefore subject to the ‘n + 2’ (1) rule.
V državah Evrope petnajstih je leta 2004 ostal neporabljen manj kot 1 % kreditov, ponujenih leta 2002; ti so bili obravnavani po shemi „N+2”*.
It should be remembered that in March 2004 these countries were allocated more than EUR 8 billion out of the ‘performance reserve’ for the most efficient programmes and measures.
Poleg tega je bilo tem državam marca 2004 dodeljenih 8 milijard eurov v okviru„rezerve na podlagi doseženih rezultatov”, ki je namenjena najučinkovitejšim programom in ukrepom.

The report on the mid-term evaluation in the Objective 1 and 2 regions (period 2000–06) shows that the strategies adopted were generally pertinent with a clear improvement in financial absorption thanks to the introduction of the ‘n + 2’ rule in 2000.
Poročilo o vmesnem vrednotenju za regije, kjer se uresničujeta cilja 1 in 2 (obdobje 2000–2006), kaže, da so bile sprejete strategije v celoti ustrezne, finančna absorpcija pa se je precej izboljšala z uveljavitvijo pravila„N+2” leta 2000.
munity experience prior to enlargement. The Commission plans to encourage the development of a platform for the exchange of experiences and, for the period 2007-13, has proposed that mid-term evaluations should be replaced by a system of continuous assessment of all or some of the programmes depending on national and regional needs — thereby optimising the value of the evaluations by correcting the weak points linked to too rigid deadlines for a very wide field of applications.
izkušenj in je za obdobje 2007–2013 predlagala nadomestitev vmesnih vrednotenj s procesom permanentnega vrednotenja celote ali posameznih delov programov, glede na nacionalne in regionalne potrebe – vse to pa z namenom optimizacije doprinosa vrednotenj k odpravi šibkih točk, povezanih z roki, ki so za tako široko polje uveljavljanja preveč togo zastavljeni.
It is nevertheless premature to draw any conclusions on the efficiency of programmes, due both to their slowness in starting up and inadequacies in the monitoring system that often required a review of the indicators.
Vendar je še prezgodaj za sklepne ocene učinkovitosti programov, tako zaradi počasnosti njihovega zagona kot zaradi nezadostnosti sistemov spremljanja, ki so pogosto zahtevali ponoven pregled pokazateljev.
The same is true when gauging their socioeconomic impact, although in some cases the evaluation did permit recommendations to be made concerning adjusting objectives on the basis of the initial years of implementation.
Enako velja za meritve ekonomsko-socialnega vpliva programov, čeprav je bilo v nekaterih primerih zaradi vrednotenja mogoče priporočiti prilagoditev ciljev na osnovi prvega leta delovanja.
The macroeconomic modelling produced for the principal Community support frameworks (CSFs) nevertheless suggests that the programmes will be able to achieve their global objectives.
Glede na makroekonomski model, ki je bil izdelan za Okvir podpore Skupnosti (CCA), se vendarle zdi, da bodo programi uspeli doseči svoje poglavitne cilje.
On the other hand, there appears to be an urgent need to improve the systems for quantifying objectives.
Po drugi strani pa je nujno izboljšati sisteme za količinsko opredelitev ciljev.
To prepare the ex post evaluation and programming for the period 2007–13, an update to the mid-term evaluation is required by the end of 2005. The Commission has published a working document to this effect: http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/ regional_policy/sources/docoffic/working/doc/midterm_update_en.pdf
Za pripravo naknadnega vrednotenja in programov za obdobje 2007–2013 je za konec leta 2005 zahtevano vmesno vrednotenje in v ta namen je Komisija objavila delovni dokument: http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/regional_policy/sources/docoffic/working/doc/ midterm_update_en.pdf
Although the mid-term evaluations are not designed to measure the Structural Fund contributions to the Lisbon and Gothenburg priorities, they nevertheless show that this contribution is very real in fields such as transport and accessibility, the knowledge-based economy, entrepreneurship, social inclusion and the environment.
Čeprav cilj vmesnega vrednotenja ni bil ocenjevanje prispevka skladov k prioritetam iz Lizbone in Göteborga, pa je z njegovo pomočjo vendarle mogoče prikazati ta doprinos na področjih, kot so transport in dostopnost, ekonomija znanja, podjetništvo, socialna vključenost in okolje.

The results also reflect the improved evaluation capacity of the Member States.
Rezultati poleg tega kažejo boljšo sposobnost vrednotenja držav članic.

Open Days 2005
ODPRTI DNEVI 2005
For the 550 regional players who gathered in Brussels on 3 March at the invitation of Commissioner Danuta Hübner, the‘Cohesion and the Lisbon strategy: the role of the regions’ conference was the occasion to take the real measure of the importance of the Union’s cities and regions as partners in a strategy for lasting growth, competitiveness and employment.
Za vseh 550 regionalnih akterjev, ki so se 3. marca na povabilo komisarke Danute Hübner zbrali v Bruslju, je bila konferenca “Kohezija in lizbonska strategija: vloga regij” priložnost za vzpostavitev ravnotežja med mesti in regijami Unije kot partnerjev v strategiji trajnostnega razvoja, konkurenčnosti in zaposlovanja.
It is a strategy that implies a strong cohesion policy benefiting from sufficient resources throughout the EU.
Strategija, ki zahteva politiko močne kohezije z ustreznimi sredstvi na celotnem ozemlju Unije.
On 9 March, European Commissioner Danuta Hübner and Peter Straub, President of the Committee of the Regions (CoR), presented a new partnership for the ‘Open Days — European Week of Regions and Cities 2005’, which will take place in Brussels in October and will be based around the theme ‘Working together for regional growth and jobs’.
Komisarka Danuta Hübner in Peter Straub, predsednik Odbora regij, sta 9. marca predstavila novo partnerstvo za "ODPRTE DNEVE – evropski teden regij in mest 2005" na temo “Delajmo skupaj za regionalni napredek in zaposlovanje".
Jointly organised by the European Commission and the CoR, and with the participation of 110 regions and cities from 27 European countries, Open Days 2005 will focus on regional development issues and cooperation.
Tema ODPRTIH DNEVOV, ki jih organizirajo Evropska komisija in Odbor regij ter 110 regij in mest iz 27 dežel, bo regionalni razvoj in sodelovanje.
More than 2 000 regional policy stakeholders are expected in Brussels for the event to discuss the next generation of regional development programmes.
Oktobra v Bruslju pričakujejo več kot 2 000 regionalnih akterjev, ki bodo razpravljali o prihodnji generaciji programov regionalnega razvoja.
Seminar on the future of Objective 3
Seminar o prihodnjem“Cilju 3”
• Sufficient resources for cohesion.
• Ustrezna sredstva za kohezijo.
In advocating a budget that remains at the present percentage of the EU’s GDP, despite the growing disparities following enlargement, the Commission has made a prudent proposal.
Ob hvali vzdrževanja proračuna na sedanjem deležu BDP EU kljub povečanju razlik po razširitvi Skupnosti je Komisija oblikovala previden predlog.
A smaller budget would lead to — at the very least — a drastic reduction in European aid.
Manjši proračun bi povzročil – najmanj – drastično znižanje evropskih pomoči.
Recalling the three keywords — attractiveness, knowledge, employment — proposed by the Commission to relaunch the Lisbon strategy (see Inforegio News No 131), Commission President José Manuel Barroso stressed in his welcoming address the important contribution that cohesion policy can make: ‘Local and regional elected representatives have a better understanding of the link between cohesion — economic, social, territorial — and competitiveness.
Predsednik Komisije, José Manuel Barroso, je ponovno opozoril na tri ključne besede – privlačnost, znanje, zaposlovanje –, ki jih je predlagala Komisija za ponoven zagon strategije iz Lizbone (glej Inforegio News št. 131), in v svojem uvodnem govoru poudaril prispevek kohezijske politike k tej strategiji: “Izvoljeni na lokalni in regionalni ravni bolje razumejo povezavo med kohezijo – ekonomsko, socialno, teritorialno – in konkurenčnostjo.
The Lisbon strategy must draw inspiration from the partnerships that cohesion policy has set up between the national, local and social players.
Lizbonska strategija mora navdih poiskati v partnerstvih, ki jih je kohezijska politika vzpostavila med nacionalnimi, lokalnimi in socialnimi akterji.
It must benefit from regional dynamism.’
Izkoristiti mora regionalno dinamičnost.” M.
• Keys to growth, in the poorest regions and others. Although the financial priority of cohesion policy must be concentrated where needs are greatest, strategic priorities must be supported throughout the EU.
21. in 22. februarja je Generalni direktorat REGIO organiziral seminar, posvečen prihodnjemu “Cilju 3” strukturnih skladov – teritorialno sodelovanje – v prisotnosti več kot 200 udeležencev, med katerimi so bili predstavniki 25 držav članic, pa tudi Bolgarije in Romunije.
Investments must be focused around well-defined priorities — first and foremost innovation — that provide optimal results in terms of growth and jobs.
Seminar se je odvijal v okviru petih delavnic o čezmejnem sodelovanju znotraj EU, o sodelovanju na zunanjih mejah (v sodelovanju z generalnima direktoratoma RELEX in ELARG), o prihodnosti “Evropskega združenja za čezmejno sodelovanje”, pa tudi o transnacionalnem in medregionalnem sodelovanju.
• Less bureaucracy and better quality programmes.
• Ključ do rasti v najrevnejših regijah in tudi v vseh drugih.
Regional policy must be more flexible and effective; its implementation must be more decentralised, while strictly applying the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, and take quality criteria as its basis.
Čeprav so prioritete finančne politike kohezije usmerjene tja, kjer so potrebe največje, je treba v celotni EU podpirati strateške prioritete.
On 21 and 22 February, the Regional Policy DG organised a seminar on the future of Objective 3 of the Structural Funds, which focuses on territorial cooperation.
Investicije morajo biti osredotočene na jasno opredeljene prioritete – najpomembnejša je inovativnost –, in tako zagotoviti optimalne razmere za rast in zaposlovanje.
• A policy that appeals to the people.
• Manj birokracije, bolj kakovostni programi.
For citizens, projects supported by the EU are the most visible proof that ‘Brussels’ is intervening usefully to improve living conditions.
Regionalna politika mora biti bolj prožna in učinkovita, njeno uresničevanje mora ostati decentralizirano ob strogem upoštevanju načel subsidiarnosti in proporcionalnosti, temeljiti pa mora na kriterijih kvalitete.
It would be a mistake to deny European integration this asset.
• Politika, ki nagovarja evropske državljane.

Odtegniti ta adut evropski politiki ne bi bilo preveč pametno.
The objectives of the Lisbon strategy and of the Structural Funds are closely intertwined and mutually reinforcing.
Cilji lizbonske strategije in strukturnih skladov se pokrivajo in vzajemno krepijo.
Citing the volume of funding as evidence (about EUR 80 billion since 2000), Commissioner Danuta Hübner illustrated the contribution of the Structural and Cohesion Funds to growth and jobs, research and innovation, human resources and social inclusion.
S pomočjo številk (približno 80 milijard evrov od leta 2000) je komisarka Danuta Hübner uvodoma pojasnila doprinos strukturnih skladov in Kohezijskega sklada k rasti zaposlovanja, raziskav in inovacij, človeških virov in socialne vključenosti.
She also stressed that regional programmes make it possible to respond to needs in the field and in this way to encourage ownership of the Lisbon strategy: there is no standard solution and regional diversity ‘provides us with a large potential for the exchange of best practices, for building synergies and for networking’.
Prav tako je poudarila, da regionalni programi ustrezajo potrebam na terenu in tako spodbujajo uresničevanje lizbonske strategije: standardne rešitve ni in raznolikost regij “nam ponuja velik potencial za izmenjavo dobrih praks, oblikovanje sinergij in mrežnih projektov.”
In return, Lisbon encourages an awareness, at regional level, of the crucial role of an efficient economy for the European social model and for the environment.‘The regions need Lisbon and Lisbon needs the regions.
“Lizbona” ponovno krepi ozaveščanje – na regionalni ravni – o pomembnosti vloge uspešne ekonomije za evropski socialni model in za okoljske cilje. “Regije potrebujejo Lizbono, Lizbona potrebuje regije.
We are opposed to any renationalisation of regional policy, as […] that would undermine what has been created, which constitutes the basis of cohesion policy.’
Smo proti kakršnikoli ponovni nacionalizaciji regionalne politike, saj (...) bi to spodkopalo vse, kar je bilo do sedaj ustvarjeno in pomeni temelj kohezijske politike.” www.nweurope.org
Participants also expressed their views on questions such as aid to regions in the far north or to mountain areas, and the effects of the future reform of State aid on regional aims.
Ob zaključku raznolike in živahne razprave, ki so se je udeležili zlasti predsedniki regij, izvoljeni regionalni in lokalni predstavniki, pa tudi predstavniki regijskih združenj in različnih strokovnjakov, je Ga.

Concluding a rich and lively debate, in which the presidents of the regions, elected local and regional representatives, representatives of regional associations and various experts participated, Danuta Hübner stressed the following needs.

To sodelovanje, ki je neizogibno potrebno za ponoven
Back in February, the Commission published constructive guidance for a first update of European strategy for sustainable development as adopted in 2001.
Komisija je februarja objavila konstruktivne usmeritve za prvo usklajevanje evropske strategije trajnostnega razvoja, ki je bila sprejeta leta 2001.
Given the mixed results, the revised strategy needs to tackle the most serious threats to the well-being and living conditions of future generations.
Popravljena strategija se mora spopasti z dejavniki, ki pomenijo največjo grožnjo za dobro počutje in življenjske razmere prihodnjih generacij.
practice, incentive measures and prices that reflect environmental costs, investment in science and technology;
ukrepih vzpodbujanja in izenačevanja cen okoljskih stroškov, na investicijah v znanosti in tehnologije;
‘Setting long-term objectives must not mean postponing actions that must be taken now.’
“Opredelitev dolgoročnih ciljev ne sme pomeniti odlaganja aktivnosti, ki jih je treba izvesti.”
This is the concern running through the Communication (1) that the European Commission presented on 9 February to the Council and Parliament by way of an initial stocktaking of the EU’s sustainable development strategy (SDS).
Ta skrb je vodilna nit Sporočila (*), ki ga je Komisija 9 februarja 2005 predstavila Svetu in Parlamentu, s čimer je orisala prvo oceno strategije trajnostnega razvoja EU oziroma “strategije iz Göteborga”, ki jo je junija 2001 sprejel Evropski svet kot dopolnilo k strategiji iz Lizbone.
Also known as the ‘Gothenburg strategy’, this was adopted in June 2001 by the European Council to complete the Lisbon strategy.
• prednostni cilji na področjih podnebja in porabe energije, upravljanja naravnih virov, prometa in izrabe tal, ogrožanja javnega zdravja, revščine in socialne izključenosti, učinka staranja prebivalstva, pa tudi globalizacije.
The SDS, which is based on three complementary pillars — economic, social and environmental — implies acting in synergy to achieve progress in present patterns of production and consumption.
Komisija izpostavlja vlogo, ki so jo strukturni skladi in Kohezijski sklad odigrali na področju okoljskih infrastruktur, na področjih zmanjševanja učinka prometa na okolje, obnove industrijskih in naravnih območij oziroma urbane prenove.
Despite some advances, the results targeted four years ago have not been achieved, stresses the Commission.
Kljub določenim napredkom cilji, ki so bili zastavljeni pred štirimi leti, niso bili doseženi, poudarja Komisija.
Many environmental problems are in fact worsening and the social divide persists.
Mnogi okoljski problemi se zaostrujejo in tudi socialne razlike se ne zmanjšujejo.
European economic performances are stagnating, while at global level the emergence of major new industrialised countries and the growing north–south divide create increased risks for sustainable development.
Evropska ekonomija stagnira, medtem ko v mednarodnem merilu pojav velikih držav, kjer je šele pred kratkim prišlo do industrializacije, in povečevanje razlik med severom in jugom pomenita večje nevarnosti za trajnostni razvoj.
In its proposals, which take into account a public consultation organised in October 2004, the Commission places the emphasis on both the need to provide long-term responses and to set clear interim goals.
V svojih predlogih, ki upoštevajo javni posvet, organiziran oktobra 2004, je Komisija poudarila, da je treba poiskati dolgoročne odgovore in vzpostaviti jasne srednjeročne cilje.
It wants to set new deadlines for improving control mechanisms.
Komisija želi opredeliti nove roke in izboljšati mehanizme nadzora.
Finally, it calls for increased awareness on the part of the general public and closer cooperation between the public and private sectors, at all levels. In short, it is society as a whole that needs to take ownership of SDS.
Na koncu poziva h krepitvi ozaveščanja državljanov in h krepitvi sodelovanja med javnimi in zasebnimi akterji na vseh ravneh: skratka, celotno družbo poziva k resnični usvojitvi programa trajnostnega razvoja.
The communication takes stock of the principal components of the SDS:
Poročilo izpostavlja poglavitne sestavne dele strategije trajnostnega razvoja:
• its basic principles, which must be reaffirmed;
• temeljna načela, ki jih je potrebno utrditi;
On the basis of the results of the interinstitutional dialogue, and in particular the debates of the European Council of 22 and 23 March, the Commission will present later this year a second communication that takes into account the opinions of all the players concerned.
• metodologija, ki temelji na boljšem oblikovanju politik s pomočjo večje koherentnosti in skladnosti, na izmenjavi dobrih praks,
• its methodology, based on improved policy-making with greater coherence and coordination, the exchange of good
Na osnovi rezultatov medinstitucionalnega dialoga, zlasti pa na temelju razprav Sveta Evrope 22. in 23. marca bo Komisija letos predstavila drugo poročilo, ki bo upoštevalo mnenja vseh akterjev, ki jih poročilo zadeva.
