On the basis of an independent external evaluation report presented to the Commission in December 2000, the Commission submitted in September 2001 a synthesis to the budgetary authorities. 
P grundval av en oberoende extern utvrdering som presenterades fr kommissionen i december 2000, lade kommissionen fram en sammanfattning fr budgetmyndigheten i september 2001.
The evaluatorsŐ main conclusions were: (a) the existence of stand-alone food security programmes is questionable; (b) other development programmes should take the dimension of food security into account and country strategy papers should cover all instruments; (c) foreign currency facilities for the import of foodstuffs have no function in a liberalised market and are de facto simply supports to the national budgets; (d) the CommissionŐs implementing capacity and the beneficiary countriesŐ capacity to absorb resources should match the rhythm and volume of commitments; (e) criteria and indicators should be available for all projects and programmes and monitoring and evaluation should be carried out systematically. 
Utvrderarnas viktigaste slutsatser var fljande: a) Det kan ifrgasttas om man skall ha ett fristende livsmed-elsfrsrjningsprogram. b) Andra utvecklingsprogram skall ta hnsyn till livsmedelsfr-srjningsaspekten och landsvisa strategiska dokument skall omfatta alla instrument. c) Utlndskvalutasomstllstillfrfogandefrimportavlivs-medel fyller ingen funktion p en liberaliserad marknad och r i praktiken helt enkelt std till den nationella budgeten. d) Kommissionens kapacitet fr genomfrande och mottagarlndernas kapacitet att ta emot och infrliva resurser, br bestmma tagandenas takt och omfattning. e) Det br finnas kriterier och indikatorer fr alla projekt och program, och vervakning och utvrdering br genomfras systematiskt.
Despite these important recommendations, the evaluation concluded that it was still too early to assess fully the impact and effectiveness of the Regulation and that a second overall evaluation would therefore have to be carried out in 2003/2004. 
Trots dessa viktiga rekommendationer var utvrderingens slutsats att det nnu var fr tidigt fr att man skulle kunna gra en fullstndig bedmning av frordningens effekt och ndamlsenlighet och att en andra vergripande utvrdering drfr borde gras 2003Đ2004.
In its communication (1) the Commission agreed with this conclusion and accordingly, in its reply of 14 December 2001 (2) the Council considered that Ôthere is no need to alter the content of the RegulationŐ. 
I sitt meddelande (1) instmde kommissionen med denna slutsats och likas bedmde rdet i sitt svar av den 14 december 2001 (2) att det inte fanns anledning att ndra frordningens innehll.
The commitment appropriations for EU budget headings under Chapter B7-2 0 specifically dedicated to food aid and food security fell from 530 million euro for 1997 to 465 million euro for2001,i.e.adeclineof12%withinfouryears(seeTable1).A detailed breakdown of payments by country and organisation is presented in Annexes 3 to 5 for each of the programme years 1997 to 2001.

En detaljerad uppstllning per land och organisation terfinns i bilagorna 3 till 5 fr vart och ett av programren 1997Đ2001.
In general, the committed funds for food aid are rapidly used as the implementation of this type of activity is rather straightforward. 
Medel som avsatts fr livsmedelsbistnd frbrukas i regel snabbt eftersom genomfrandet av den typen av verksamhet r relativt okomplicerat.
The absorptive capacity for food security has been much lower, as can be seen from Table 2, which shows the commitments and cumulative payments made up to 31 December 2001 for the programme years 1997 to 2001 (3). 
Kapaciteten att ta emot och infrliva livsmedelsfrsrjning har varit betydligt lgre vilket framgr av tabell 2 som visar taganden och ackumulerade betalningar gjorda fram till den 31 december 2001 fr programren 1997 till 2001 (3).

The Commission has overall responsibility for the implementation of the food security policy from budget Chapter B7-2 0. 
Kommissionen har det vergripande ansvaret fr genomfrandet av politiken fr livsmedelsfrsrjning genom budgetkapitel B7Đ2 0.
In the beneficiary countries the food security operations are implemented and monitored by beneficiary countriesŐ services, the CommissionŐs delegations, local food security units (LFSUs) and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). 
I mottagarlnderna genomfrs och vervakas livsmedelsfrsrjningstgrderna av mottagarlndernas enheter, kommissionens delegationer, lokala enheter fr livsmedelsfrsrjning och icke-statliga organisationer.
COMMISSION 38. 
KOMMISSIONEN 38.
This means that the unit responsible for food security should continuously communicate and coordinate with all geographical units (Asia, Latin America, central and eastern Europe, ACP States) within the same Directorate-General, with a number of other Directorates-General (e.g. Development, External relations) and with the CommissionŐs humanitarian aid office. 
Detta innebr att enheten med ansvar fr livsmedelsfrsrjning kontinuerligt skall st i frbindelse och samordna med alla geografiska enheter (Asien, Latinamerika, Central-och steuropa, AVS-lnderna) inom samma generaldirektorat, med ett antal andra generaldirektorat (till exempel bistnd, yttre frbindelser) och med kommissionens kontor fr humanitrt bistnd.
Given its limited resources, it is very difficult for the specialised unit to ensure the coherence between the food security policies and the recipient countriesŐ other development strategies (see paragraph 25), a task which is essential as long as various EU development programmes are run in parallel. 
Med tanke p dess begrnsade resurser r det mycket svrt fr den specialiserade enheten att skerstlla att livsmedelsfrsrjningspolitiken och mottagarlndernas vriga utvecklingsstrategier r samstmmiga (se punkt 25) vilket r en vsentlig uppgift nr olika utvecklingsprogram i EU:s regi pgr parallellt.
LFSUS 39. 
LOKALAENHETERF RLIVSMEDELSF RS RJNING 39.
LFSUs are local technical assistance offices financed by the Commission, where European and local experts work in order to assist the recipient country in designing, implementing and monitoring food security operations. 
Lokala enheter fr livsmedelsfrsrjning r lokala kontor fr tekniskt std som finansierad av kommissionen dr gemenskapens experter och lokala experter arbetar fr att stdja mottagarlandet med att utforma, genomfra och vervaka livsmedelsfrsrjningstgrder.
Apart from personal contracts with their staff, LFSUs do not have clear and written mandates explaining in detail their tasks and responsibilities for the management of and reporting on food security operations. 
Bortsett frn individuella avtal med personalen har de lokala enheterna inget tydligt skriftligt mandat som i detalj anger deras uppgifter och ansvar fr frvaltningen och rapporteringen i anslutning till livsmedelsfrsrjningstgrder.
Therefore, in Niger and Yemen, it was not always clear whether and to what extent the LFSUs or technical assistants, working in the context of food security should assist primarily the delegation or the beneficiary countryŐs services. 
I Niger och Yemen var det drfr inte alltid klart om och i vilken utstrckning de lokala enheterna fr livsmedelsfrsrjning eller de tekniska assistenterna i frsta hand skulle stdja delegationen eller mottagarlandets enheter nr det gllde uppgifter i anslutning till livsmedelsfrsrjning.
NGOS 40. 
ICKE-STATLIGA ORGANISATIONER 40.
A new procedure for the selection of NGOs was introduced in 2000. 
Ett nytt frfarande fr att vlja ut icke-statliga organisationer infrdes 2000.
Despite the CommissionŐs intention to decentralise the implementation of development aid, the legal and administrative eligibility of the applicants was centrally examined in Brussels, causing such long delays that the time available to the delegations for the technical and financial examination of the proposed operations was far too short. 
Trots kommissionens avsikt att decentralisera genomfrandet av utvecklingsbistnd granskades de skandes rttsliga och administrativa behrighet centralt i Bryssel vilket gavupphovtillslngafrseningarattdentidsomterstodfr delegationernas tekniska och finansiella granskning av de freslagna tgrderna blev alldeles fr kort.
In general, the new procedure turned out to be complex and time-consuming. 
Det nya frfarandet visade sig vara allmnt komplext och tidskrvande.
While the call for proposals was published in September 2000, it was only in December 2001 that the first contracts could be signed. 
Anbudsinfordran offentliggjordes i september 2000 men det var inte frrn i decem-ber2001somdefrstaavtalenkundeings.
ForanumberofdifferentsupporttaskstheCommission contracted in 1998 a joint venture of seven independent consultancy firms to set up the European Food Security Network (RESAL). 
Fr utfrandet av ett antal olika stdfunktioner avtalade kommissionen 1998 med en sammanslutning av sju fristende konsultfretag om uppbyggnad av det Europeiska ntverket fr livsmedelsfrsrjning (RESAL).
RESALŐs main tasks were to provide assistance in formulating food security strategies and analysing food security situations, to formulate proposals for food security operations and to set up a system for collecting and analysing data (contained in monthly and quarterly reports) and to improve information systems relating to food security issues (price monitoring, harvest forecasts, etc). 
RESAL:s huvuduppgifter var att ge std vid formulering av livsmedelsfrsrjningsstrategier och analysering av livsmedels-frsrjningssituationer, att utforma frslag till livsmedelsfrsrj-ningstgrderochattbyggaettsystemfrinsamlingochanaly- sering av data (i mnads-och kvartalsrapporter) samt att frbttra informationssystemen fr livsmedelsfrsrjningsfrgor (prisver-vakning, skrdeprognoser etc.)
The results of the information system were made available via the Internet. 
Informationssystemets resultat gjordes tillgngliga via Internet.
In general, RESAL functioned well and it was particularly strong in supplying ad hoc consultancy support in the form of studies and contributions to the formulation of food security policies and strategies requested by both the Commission and the recipient countries. 
RESAL fungerade i allmnhet vl, och srskilt nr det glldeattgefallspecifikkonsulthjlpiformavstudierochbidrag till formuleringen av livsmedelsfrsrjningspolitik och livsmedelsfrsrjningsstrategier som efterfrgades bde av kommissionen och mottagarlnderna.
Whereas the information network was a good initiative to put existing information together and to present it in an accessible form to the public, it should be noted that the quality of the information was only as good as the quality of the sources, which were not always reliable. 
Ntverket fr information var frvisso ett bra initiativ fr att samla ihop och presentera befintlig information p ett tillgngligt stt fr allmnheten, men man br minnas att informationens kvalitet inte var bttre n informationskllorna, vilka inte alltid var tillfrlitliga.
Furthermore, the information on RESALŐs website was not always up to date: in August 2001, for instance, for half of the countries analysed by the Court, the information, which should have been provided on a monthly basis, was more than four months old. 
Dessutom var informationen p RESAL:s hemsida inte alltid uppdaterad. I augusti 2001 var till exempel informatio-nenfrhlftenavlndernarevisionsrttenanalyserade,somskulle lmnas varje mnad, ver fyra mnader gammal.
In the context of the policy of closing its technical assistance offices, the Commission discontinued the contract with RESAL as of 1 September 2001. 
Med anledning av sin policy att stnga sina byrer fr tekniskt std avslutade kommissionen avtalet med RESAL frn den 1 september 2001.
Instead, 20 newly recruited experts with similar tasks and functions as RESALŐs are to be employed at 15 delegations in priority countries, and a further five experts at the CommissionŐs services in Brussels. 
Istllet skall det anstllas 20 nyrekryterade experter med arbetsuppgifter och verksamhet liknande RESAL:s vid 15 delegationer i prioriterade lnder, och ytterligare fem experter vid kommissionens enheter i Bryssel.

Although the Commission in Brussels has reliable information on the allocation, the commitment and the release of funds to the food security programmes, it could not provide reliable information on the use of funds advanced and on the progress of the components of the programmes (1). 
Trots att kommissionen i Bryssel har tillfrlitlig informa-tionomtilldelning,tagandenochfrigrandeavmedeltilllivs- medelsfrsrjningsprogram kunde man inte lmna tillfrlitlig information om anvndningen av medel som betalats i frskott, eller om hur programmens olika delar utvecklades (1).
The CommissionŐs Sincom2 accounting system could not identify all food security-related contracts and payments in respect of such contracts, and therefore could not give complete and detailed figures thereon. 
I kommis-sionensredovisningssystemSincom2kundemaninteidentifiera alla avtal i anslutning till livsmedelsfrsrjning eller betalningar i anslutning till sdana avtal, och drfr kunde man inte ta fram fullstndiga och detaljerade siffror om detta.
Although such information was usually available at the level of the delegations, it was not systematically communicated to the Commission in Brussels. 
Trots att denna information vanligen fanns tillgnglig p delegationsniv lmnades den inte systematiskt vidare till kommissionen i Bryssel.
The CommissionŐs annual reports to the budgetary authorities on the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1292/96 lack information on the use of counterpart funds. 
Kommissionens rsrapporter till budgetmyndigheten om tillmpningen av frordning (EG) nr 1292/96 saknar information om anvndningen av motpartsmedel.
This runs contrary to Article 31(3) of this Regulation, which clearly stipulates that the CommissionŐs annual report on the implementation of food aid and food security operations must contain information on operations undertaken with the counterpart funds generated. 
Detta strider mot artikel 31.3 i frordningen dr det tydligt anges att kommissionens rsrapport om genomfrandet av tgrder fr livsmedelsbistnd och livsmedelsfrsrjning skall innehlla information om vilka tgrder som vidtagits med de motpartsmedel som genererats.
The CommissionŐs annual reports on the implementation of actions for food aid and food security can only be used with the greatest care for analyses such as comparing one year with another, due to the above problems and due to the fact that the presentation of the components of the aid changed from year to year. Actions Preparation of the interventions 48. 
Kommissionens rsrapport om genomfrandet av tgrder fr livsmedelsbistnd och livsmedelsfrsrjning kan bara med strsta frsiktighet anvndas fr analyser ssom jmfrelser av ett r med ett annat, p grund av ovan nmnda problematik och eftersom framlggandet av bistndets bestndsdelar ndrades frn r till r. tgrder Beredning av tgrder 48.
On the basis of official letters (in effect contracts, signed by the Commission and the beneficiary country) to which global annual food security plans are attached, the preparation of the individual projects and actions can be launched. 
P grundval av offentliga skrivelser (i sjlva verket avtal som undertecknats av kommissionen och mottagarlandet), till vilka bifogas vergripande rliga livsmedelsfrsrjningsplaner, kan beredningen av enskilda projekt och tgrder inledas.
This process has generally been cumbersome and lengthy in most of the recipient countries. 
Processen har i allmnhet varit tungrodd och utdragen i de flesta av mottagarlnderna.
This was due, inter alia, to the following factors: (a) as food security strategy papers do not usually set clear priorities, the whole process of setting priorities is deferred to the programming phase; (b) administrative procedures, both in the Commission and in the recipient country, are complicated; (1) See successive qualifications in the CourtŐs Statements of Assurance, culminating in the Annual Report concerning the financial year 1999, paragraphs 8.11 to 8.13 (OJ C 342, 1.12.2000). (c) the Council Regulation allows a large variety of actions to be carried out under food security budget headings, which requires particular efforts to define the specific content of the food security programmes with the partners. 
Detta berodde bland annat p nedanstende faktorer: a) Eftersom det vanligen inte anges tydliga prioriteringar i strategidokumenten om livsmedelsfrsrjning skjuts hela prioriteringsprocessen upp till programplaneringsfasen. b) Administrativa frfaranden r komplicerade, bde vid kommissionen och i mottagarlandet.
The Regulation stipulates that food security operations must be embedded in a multiannual plan (2). 
I frordningen freskrivs att livsmedelsfrsrjningstgrderna skall ing i en flerrig plan (2).
A multiannual plan is required to show long-term perspectives as to how to replace food aid by food security operations, so that a coherent package of activities can be defined for a number of years. 
Det krvs en flerrig plan med ett lngsiktig perspektiv fr hur man skall erstta livsmedelsbistnd med tgrder fr livsmedelsfrsrjning, s att ett samstmt tgrdspaket kan utformas fr ett antal r.
Until recently, programming has been done on an annual basis. 
Tills nyligen har programplaneringen gjorts fr ett r i taget.
