In some cases the discussions have resulted in the Commission replacing projects with others of the same value but with less priority at the request of the representatives of the Member (1) Various criteria, such as Ôthe Community interestŐ and Ôfostering coop-erationŐ, or Ôthe innovative characterŐ and the Ôexemplary characterŐ for 2000/2001 and the ÔCommunity interestŐ and Ôenvironmental prob-lemŐ or ÔinnovationŐ and ÔprogressŐ for 2002, were combined. (2) The Committees in question, for which the Commission provides the chairman and secretariat, are made up of representatives of the Member States. States and on the basis of proof of a neutral financial impact. 
I vissa fall har diskussionerna lett till att kommissionen bytt ut ngra projekt mot andra (1) Olika kriterier, som till exempel ÓgemenskapsintresseÓ och Ósamar-betsfrmjandeÓ eller ocks Ónyskapande karaktrÓ och Ófredmligt exempelÓ fr 2000 och 2001 och ÓgemenskapsintresseÓ och Ómilj-problemÓ eller nyskapande ÓochÓ framsteg Ófr 2002 slogs ihop.Ó (2) Dessa kommitter, i vilka kommissionens representanter r ordfrande och sekreterare, bestr av fretrdare frn medlemsstaterna. likvrdiga men lgre prioriterade projekt p begran av fretrdare frn medlemsstaterna och p grundval av ett intyg som garanterar ekonomisk neutralitet.
Withdrawal of a project from the priority list should in fact lead to its replacement by the first project on the reserve list, regardless of the ÔnationalityŐ of the project withdrawn. 
Om ett projekt dras in frn den prioriterade listan br det leda till att projektet erstts med det projekt som str frst p reservlistan, oberoende av vad det indragna projektet har fr ÓnationalitetÓ.
In practice, it is replaced by a project of the Member State concerned. 
I praktiken erstts det dock med ett projekt frn den berrda medlemsstaten.
This runs counter to the results of the preliminary evaluation and undermines the effectiveness of the use of Community funds. 
Detta strider mot resultatet av frhandsbedmningen och leder till att utnyttjandet av gemenskapsmedel blir mindre effektivt.
Risk of double-funding 41. Actions receiving aid under the Structural Funds or other financial instruments are not eligible for aid under LIFE (3). 
Risk fr dubbelfinansiering 41. tgrder som fr std frn strukturfonderna eller andra finansiella instrument r inte berttigade till std frn Life (3).
For this reason, applicants for aid are obliged to declare the sources of finance for the projects proposed, but compliance with these conditions is not adequately enforced. 
Drfr skall de som ansker om std redogra fr finansieringskllorna till de freslagna projekten, men det saknas tillrckliga garantier fr att dessa villkor iakttas.
The fact that environmental issues are covered by a number of possible types of Community funds gives rise to a special risk of double funding, mainly for LIFE-Environment. 
Med tanke p att miljfrgorna tcks av ett antal olika typer av std finns det en srskild risk fr dubbelfinansiering, frmst nr det gller Life-Milj.
However, this system does not contain adequate information to allow verification of whether the same beneficiaries have already received other Community funds (Structural Funds, Cohesion Fund or funds for research activities). 
Detta program innehller dock inte de upplysningar som krvs fr att man skall kunna kontrollera om samma stdmottagare redan har tagit emot andra gemenskapsmedel (strukturfonderna, Sammanhllningsfonden eller forskningsverksamhet).
These data, which play an important role in the Structural Fund programmes, are not entered in detail in Sincom, which therefore means that the control is not effective. 
Dessa uppgifter, som till stor del frekommer i strukturfondernas program, registreras inte p ett detaljerat stt i SINCOM, vilket innebr att det inte blir ngon effektiv kontroll.
The various project proposals are examined during the interdepartmental consultation procedure at Commission level to check complementarity of the aid with other Community funds and, in particular, to ensure that there is no double-financing. 
De olika projektfrslagen granskas under konsultationsfrfarandet mellan avdelningarna p kommissionen fr att man skall kunna kontrollera att stden kompletterar andra gemenskapsmedel och framfrallt fr att man skall kunna se till att det inte frekommer ngon dubbelfinansiering.
Within the framework of LIFE II, in addition to the horizontal departments, the Directorates-General for Agriculture, Research, Fisheries and Regional Policy were consulted for LIFE-Nature, but only the Directorate-General for Regional Policy was consulted for LIFE-Environment. 
Nr det gller Life II konsulterades, frutom de sektorsvergripande avdelningarna, Generaldirektoratet fr jordbruk, Generaldirektoratet fr forskning, Generaldirektoratet fr fiske och Generaldirektoratet fr regionalpolitik.
The Directorate-General for Research was not consulted on the ÔEnvironmentŐ strand even in the case of projects proposed by bodies which, as the Court noted, were the beneficiaries of several research contracts. 
Revisionsrtten kunde konstatera att Generaldirektoratet fr forskning inte konsulterades fr temaomrdet Milj, inte ens i de fall d projektfrslagen kom frn organ som har flera forskningsavtal.
In the absence of basic data, in particular in connection with the Structural Funds, the results of the consultation are often very sparse and the risk of double-financing persists. 
Eftersom det inte finns ngra grundlggande uppgifter, srskilt inte nr det gller strukturfonderna, r resultaten av konsultationerna ofta mycket knapphndiga och risken fr dubbelfinansiering kvarstr.
Where the beneficiaries of the programme are bodies which receive Community research contracts on a continual basis, separation of the activities is difficult to ascertain. 
Nr programmets stdmottagare bestr av organ som fortlpande fr gemenskapsforskningsavtal r det svrt att gra en tskillnad av arbetsuppgifter.
The audit showed that these bodies often do not comply with the rules for granting Community funds with regard to the keeping of accounts (3) Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1973/92. 
Granskningen visade att dessa organ ofta inte fljde reglerna fr beviljande av gemenskapsmedel (3) Artikel 5 i frordning (EEG) nr 1973/92.
2.12.2003 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 292/15 for the projects (see paragraph 60) as they do not have accounting systems which are sufficiently detailed or systems for recording working time for the various projects. 
2.12.2003 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 292/15 nr det gllde redovisning av projekten (se punkt 60) eftersom deras system fr bokfring och arbetstidsregistrering fr de olika projekten inte var tillrckligt detaljerat.
As a consequence it is not possible to demonstrate specific allocations of resources to the projects or to verify whether there may have been double-financing. 
Drfr gick det inte att se vilka srskilda insatser projekten hade blivit freml fr och inte heller att kontrollera om det eventuellt frekom ngon dubbelfinansiering.
One example of this audit finding is a project under the ÔEnvironmentŐ strand which received LIFE financing for three parts: the project study, the equipment and the measures to disseminate the results. 
Ett exempel p detta granskningsresultat gller ett projekt inom temaomrdet Milj som fick finansiering frn Life fr tre olika delar: projektunderskning, utrustning och tgrder fr att sprida resultaten.
It also received aid granted by the region under the regional operational programme financed by the Structural Funds, which covered the first two parts too and the construction of the buildings. 
Projektet beviljades ocks ett regionalstd inom ramen fr ett regionalt operativt program som finansierades av strukturfonderna, ett std dr de tv frsta delarna ingick och ocks uppfrandet av anlggningar.
As the action received indirect financing under the European Regional Development Fund through the operational programme, the overlapping of these forms of aid was not identified and the beneficiary did not notify the Commission in respect of the Community aid. 
Eftersom tgrderna indirekt finansierades av Europeiska regionala utvecklingsfonden genom det operativa programmet upptckte man inte att stden verlappade varandra, och stdmottagaren meddelade inte kommissionen att den fick gemenskapsstd.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECTS Imprecise administrative provisions concerning eligible costs 46. 
PROJEKTENS GENOMF RANDE Otydliga administrativa bestmmelser i frga om stdberttigande kostnader 46.
Article 9b of the LIFE Regulation lists the expenditure which is to be considered ineligible. 
I artikel 9 b i Life-frordningen finns en lista p de utgifter som betraktas som icke stdberttigande.
By contrast, the Standard Administrative Provisions (1) concerning eligible expenditure were neither precise nor uniform for the various strands of the programme. 
Dremot r inte de administrativa standardbestmmelserna (1), som gller stdberttigande utgifter, vare sig tydliga eller enhetliga fr programmets olika temaomrden.
When preparing the new LIFE III Regulation, the Commission harmonised these provisions and made numerous amendments to them, but failed, however, to rectify all the weaknesses revealed by the audit (see paragraphs 47 to 51). 
Under beredningen av den nya Life III-frordningen harmoniserade kommissionen dessa bestmmelser och infrde ett stort antal ndringar, men den lyckades inte komma till rtta med alla brister som upptcktes vid granskningen (se punkterna 47Đ51).
With regard to eligible expenditure, staff expenditure represents the largest part of the costs of the projects. 
Nr det gller de stdberttigande utgifterna utgr personalutgifterna den strsta delen av projektkostnaderna.
It includes the salaries of national civil servants, which make up a significant portion of the expenditure, in particular in the case of LIFE-Nature. 
De bestr av de nationella tjnstemnnens lner, som upptar en stor del av dessa utgifter, srskilt inom Life-Natur.
The Court notes that these remunerations are already covered by the budgets of the public bodies and therefore do not constitute an additional remuneration which would represent an extra cost for the programme. 
Revisionsrtten konstaterade att dessa lner redan tcks av de offentliga organens budget och drfr inte skall utgra en ytterligare ersttning som blir en extra kostnad fr programmet.
This being so, the contribution by the beneficiary public body does not represent a national contribution, as LIFE is really reimbursing expenditure which the Member States would have had to bear in any case. 
Insatsen frn det stdmottagande offentliga organet betraktas under dessa omstndigheter inte som en nationell anstrngning, eftersom Life faktiskt erstter de utgifter som medlemsstaterna nd hade varit tvungna att st fr.
The administrative provisions should be amended in such a way as to exclude the possibility of financing the salaries of civil servants, including cases where public bodies are involved in carrying out projects as partners of the beneficiary. 
De administrativa bestmmelserna br anpassas s att det inte gr att f tjnstemnnens lner finansierade, ven i de fall d de offentliga organen medverkar i projekten som samarbetspartner till stdmottagaren.
(1) The standard administrative provisions are annexed to the decision granting aid which is sent to the beneficiaries and include special provisions relating to the implementation of the projects. 
(1) De administrativa standardbestmmelserna r bifogade till det beslut att bevilja std som skickas till stdmottagarna. De innehller srskilda bestmmelser fr genomfrandet av projekten.
In the case of the projects audited, staff expenditure represented 41 % of total certified costs. 
Nr det gller de granskade projekten motsvarade personalutgifterna 41 % av den totala attesterade kostnaden.
The CourtŐs checks revealed that: (a) in certain cases the contribution by the staff to Community actions is charged at an hourly rate which is higher than the actual salary rate, with no justification provided; (b) some beneficiaries have no time-recording system which enables the hours actually worked and charged to the project to be identified; (c) statements affected by this included: (i) (ii) 50. the projects examined. 
Vid granskningen kunde fljande konstateras: a) I vissa fall debiteras personalens medverkan i gemenskapstgrder per timme, vilket ger en hgre ersttning n den faktiska lnen, trots att det inte r motiverat. b) Vissa stdmottagare har inget system fr att registrera arbetstiden, vilket gr det omjligt att kontrollera hur mnga timmar som faktiskt har gnats t och fakturerats projektet. c) Redogrelser som berrs av detta gller fljande: i) ii) 50. fr de granskade projekten.
The administrative provisions do not clearly set out the details of the supporting documents required in respect of services provided by subcontractors and therefore do not provide a possiblity of verifying whether these services were really provided. 
I de administrativa bestmmelserna redogrs det inte p ett klart och tydligt stt fr underleverant-rernas tjnster och fljaktligen gr det inte att kontrollera om tjnsterna verkligen har utfrts.
Thus, in one extreme case, the Court was unable to reconstruct the constituent parts of the costs invoiced, as the subcontractor refused access to the documentary evidence, arguing that his contract contained no clause giving the Court access to these documents. 
I ett extremfall kunde inte revisionsrtten rekonstruera de olika delarna av de fakturerade kostnaderna p grund av att underleverantren vgrade ge tilltrde till verifikationerna och stdde sig p det faktum att avtalet inte innehll ngon klausul om att ge revisionsrtten tilltrde till dessa verifikationer.
With regard to expenditure in respect of the depreciation of consumer durables, the Commission accepted the principle of linear depreciation over the projectŐs period of implementation. 
Nr det gller nedskrivningarna av kapitalvaror godknde kommissionen principen om linjr nedskrivning berknad p projektets livslngd.
As the Standard Administrative Provisions were imprecise, depreciation was not calculated on a pro rata temporis basis applied to the period of use of these goods. 
Eftersom de administrativa standardbestmmelserna var otydliga berknades inte avdragen tidsproportionellt fr utnyttjandet av dessa varor.
The Commission subsequently amended the rules governing the charging of these costs and now accepts as eligible expenditure 50 % of their real cost, irrespective of the time required to implement the project. 
Som en fljd av detta ndrade kommissionen reglerna fr hur man drar av sdana kostnader och godtar numera 50 % av den reella kostnaden som stdberttigande utgift, oavsett hur lng tid projektet pgr.
Delays in payments 52. 
Frsenade betalningar 52.
Under LIFE II, payments are made in the form of an advance of 40 % of Community financing after adoption by the Commission of the decision granting aid, then an interim payment, which can also be as much as 40 %, made on the basis of a claim by the beneficiary after acceptance of the statement of expenditure and the activities report, and, lastly, a final payment once the Commission has accepted the final report. 
Inom Life II utfrs betalningarna i form av ett frskott som motsvarar 40 % av gemenskapens finansiering och som betalas ut s snart kommissionen har antagit beslutet om att bevilja ekonomiskt std, sedan grs en mellanliggande betalning som ocks kan uppg till 40 % och som grundar sig p en begran frn stdmottagaren efter att utgiftsberkningen och verksamhetsrapporten har godknts och sedan en slutlig betalning efter att slutrapporten har godknts av kommissionen.

Subcontracts accounted for 25 % of the expenditure of 
Underleverantrsavtalen motsvarade 25 % av utgifterna
C 292/16 EN Official Journal of the European Union 2.12.2003 administrative, financial and technical conditions relating to the LIFE programme stipulate, as a general rule, that payment by the Commission must take place within 60 days of the receipt of the statements of expenditure. 
C 292/16 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 2.12.2003 med Life-programmets administrativa, finansiella och tekniska villkor skall kommissionen i regel utfra betalningen senast 60 dagar efter att den har mottagit utgiftsredogrelsen.
In view of the volume of delayed payments, the Directorate-General for the Budget adopted measures to ensure that 95 % of payments would be made within the set time limit, with the remaining 5 % having to be settled, at the latest, within 90 days (1). 
Med tanke p det hga antalet frsenade betalningar vidtog Generaldirektoratet fr budget tgrder fr att 95 % av betalningarna skulle utfras inom den angivna tidsfristen medan de resterande 5 % skulle utfras senast inom 90 dagar (1).
According to the information available to the Commission, 43 % of the payments made under the LIFE programme during the financial years 1999 to 2002 did not comply with this maximum limit of 90 days (see Diagram 1). 
Enligt den information som finns tillgnglig p kommissionen respekterades inte den maximala tidsgrnsen p 90 dagar fr 43 % av de betalningar som gjordes inom Lifeprogrammet under budgetren 1999 till 2002 (se diagram 1).
The Court notes an improvement in 2002 as compared with preceding years, as shown in Diagram 1. 
Revisionsrtten konstaterar att det har skett en frbttring under 2002 jmfrt med tidigare r, vilket framgr av diagram 1.
From the information available in the CommissionŐs accounting system it was not possible to ascertain the reason for the delays in payment. 
Det gick inte att hitta ngon frklaring till dessa frseningar i de uppgifter som fanns tillgngliga i kommissionens redovisningssystem.
By examining a sample of files the Court was able to determine the main reasons for these delays. 
Genom granskningen av ett urval handlingar har det gtt att faststlla de frmsta sklen till att betalningarna frsenades.
The first is related to the late replies by beneficiaries to requests for additional information sent to them by the Commission; responsibility for this should be shared jointly by the Commission and the beneficiary (lack of system for issuing automatic reminders to beneficiaries under LIFE II). 
Ett skl har att gra med att stdmottagarna inkom fr sent med sina svar p kommissionens begran om komplet terande upplysningar, och detta r bde kommissionens och stdmottagarens ansvar (det finns inget system som automatiskt skickar ut pminnelser till stdmottagarna inom Life II).
In three out of 46 cases, this information was required because the beneficiary had made changes to the structure of the budget without informing the Commission. 
I tre fall av 46 var det ndvndigt med dessa upplysningar eftersom stdmottagaren hade ndrat sin budgetstruktur utan att informera kommissionen.
Other reasons are connected to Community management, i.e.: Ń a break in the continuity of the technical assistance contracts. 
Andra skl till frseningarna har att gra med gemenskapens frvaltning p fljande punkter: Ń Avtalen om tekniskt std var inte fortlpande.
For example, the TAO responsible for the LIFE-Environment projects in one Member State had to discontinue its activities between November 1999 and January 2001 because it had no contract (see paragraph 68). 
Till exempel tvingades en byr fr tekniskt std, som var ansvarig fr projekt inom Life-Milj i en medlemsstat, att upphra med sin verksamhet mellan november 1999 och januari 2001 p grund av att det inte fanns ngot avtal (se punkt 68).
As a result, a number of files could not be dealt with in time in the CommissionŐs departments. 
Drfr kunde inte ett antal handlingar behandlas i tid p kommissionens avdelningar.
There was no efficient system for monitoring payment claims. 
Det fanns inget effektivt system fr att vervaka betalningsanskningar.

2.12.2003 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 292/17 Praktiska problem i samband med projektens genomfrande Problem med projektens medfinansiering 56.
The proposals submitted sometimes contain erroneous or incomplete information concerning the arrangements for financing the projects. 
De frslag som presenteras innehller ibland felaktiga eller ofullstndiga upplysningar betrffande arrangemangen fr finansiering av projekten.
They do not always make allowance for all the financial contributions planned or the revenue generated by the projects. These are, however, elements which represent an important factor in the evaluation stage and for the adoption of the decision laying down the rate of Community financing. 
I frslagen tar man inte alltid hnsyn till alla ekonomiska bidrag som r planerade och inte heller till de inkomster som projekten genererar. nd utgr dessa delar en viktig faktor i utvrderingsfasen och nr beslut om gemenskapsfinansieringens andel skall fattas.
The audit revealed that one NGO, after the decision, had received an amount equivalent to more than 100 % of the cost of the project through national subsidies which had not been declared in the application file. 
Granskningen har visat att en icke-statlig organisation efter beslutet mottog ett belopp som motsvarade mer n 100 % av projektkostnaden via nationella bidrag som inte redovisades i anskningshandlingarna.
This co-financing, for which no provision was made in the initial proposal, shows the shortcomings in the financial arrangements for the projects. 
Medfinansieringarna, som inte angavs i det ursprungliga frslaget, visar p bristerna i projektens finansieringsstruktur.
Applicants are obliged to declare their sources of finance (see paragraph 41) but it is up to the Commission to verify the validity of these declarations. 
De anskande r skyldiga att redogra fr sina finansieringskllor (se punkt 41), men det r kommissionens ansvar att frskra sig om att dessa redogrelser har en god grund.
Likewise, this large NGO, which received numerous contributions under LIFE, entered a LIFE contribution in its project proposal which was equivalent to the maximum rate of 50 %. 
P samma stt anslog denna stora icke-statliga organisation, som fick mnga bidrag frn Life, ett Life-bidrag i sitt projektfrslag som motsvarade den maximala satsen p 50 %.
However, the audit revealed that the NGO in question had financed its contribution almost completely by applications to several private and public sources. 
Granskningen visade dock att den icke-statliga organisationen i frga nstan helt hade finansierat sitt bidrag med hjlp av flera olika privata och offentliga kllor.
This information, of which the NGO was aware, was nevertheless not mentioned in the proposal and was thus not available to the Commission when it took its co-financing decision. 
Trots att den icke-statliga organisationen knde till detta nmndes det inte i frslaget, och drfr fanns inte den informationen tillgnglig nr kommissionen fattade sitt beslut om medfinansiering.
