The premium supplements the price the producers receive for their tobacco on the market and should provide them with a Ôfair incomeŐ and encourage to produce good quality tobacco. A rate of premium was set by the Council in 1992 for each of the eight variety groups recognised by the CMO. 
Bidraget lggs till det pris som producenterna sljer sin tobak fr p marknaden och br ge dem en Ósklig inkomstÓ och uppmuntra dem att producera tobak av god kvalitet. r 1992 faststllde rdet en bidragssats fr de tta sortgrupper som erknts av den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden.
The rates have remained virtually unchanged since then (6). 
Satserna har i stort sett legat p samma niv sedan dess (6).
The premium comprises both a fixed and a variable amount the latter presently accounting for between 30 and 45 % according to the variety (7). 
Bidraget bestr av bde ett fast och ett rrligt belopp. Bidragets rrliga del utgr fr nrvarande mellan 30 % och 45 % av det totala bidraget beroende p tobakssort (7).
The fixed part of the premium is paid in full to all producers. 
Den fasta delen av bidraget betalas i sin helhet till samtliga producenter.
The variable part of the premium is distributed by the producer groups to their members in proportion to the price which each of them has been paid by the first processors for their deliveries. 
Den rrliga delen av bidraget betalas ut av producentsammanslutningarna till medlemmarna i frhllande till det inkpspris som var och en av dem har ftt fr sina leveranser av de fretag som utfr den frsta bearbetningen.
Cultivation contract auction scheme 10. 
Auktionssystem fr odlingskontrakt 10.
For tobacco production to be eligible for aid, regulations require cultivation contracts to be concluded, by variety group of tobacco, between first processors and producer groups or individual producers who are not members of a group. 
Fr att tobaksproduktionen skall vara berttigad till std krvs det enligt frordningarna att odlingskontrakt ings fr varje tobakssortgrupp mellan fretag som utfr den frsta bearbetningen och producentsammanslutningar eller enskilda producenter som inte r medlemmar i ngon sammanslutning.
To help contract prices truly reflect market conditions, Member States were given the option, for each harvest year, to operate a cultivation contract auction scheme. 
Fr att avtalspriserna skulle spegla marknadsfrhllandena p ett s bra stt som mjligt fick medlemsstaterna mjlighet att fr varje skrder genomfra ett auktionssystem fr odlingskontrakten.
The scheme permits individual producers who are not member of a producer group or producer groups to offer their existing cultivation contracts to the wider first processing market. 
Systemet gr att enskilda producenter, som inte r medlemmar i ngon producentsammanslutning, eller producentsammanslutningar kan erbjuda sina befintliga odlingskontrakt till den strre marknaden fr den frsta bearbetningen.
Bids have to be at least 10 % higher than the original contract price and the original first processor has to be given the opportunity to match the new price. 
Anbuden mste ligga minst 10 % hgre n det ursprungliga kontraktspriset, och de ursprungliga fretag som utfr den frsta bearbetningen mste f mjlighet att anpassa sitt bud till det nya priset.
Thresholds, quotas and national reserves 11. 
Trsklar, kvoter och nationella reserver 11.
In order to orient and limit production while maintaining budgetary control, the Council sets an overall guaranteed quantity for which aid will be paid. 
I syfte att rikta och begrnsa produktionen och samtidigt behlla budgetkontrollen faststller rdet en total garanterad kvantitet fr vilken std skall betalas.
It is allocated to producers through quotas established on the basis of their production in a reference period. 
Stdet ges till producenter genom en kvot som bestmts p grundval av deras produktion under en referensperiod.
The regime permits Member States to transfer guaranteed quantities between variety groups, with the approval of the Commission, provided the effect is at least neutral for the budget. 
Stdordningen ger medlemsstaterna mjlighet att verfra garanterade kvantiteter mellan sortgrupper med kommissionens godknnande under frutsttning att tminstone budgetneutraliteten bibehlls.
(6) Except for group V for which the premium was decreased by 10 % from the harvest year 2002 onwards. 
(6) Med undantag av sortgrupp V fr vilken bidraget snktes med 10 % frn skrder 2002 och framt.
(7) The variable part has been increased progressively from 1999 onwards. 
(7) Den rrliga delen har hjts successivt frn 1999 och framt.
A quota buy-back scheme also exists whereby individual producers, who wish to cease tobacco cultivation definitively, may sell their quota back to the EU if they cannot be sold to other producers. 
Det finns ocks ett system fr terkp av kvoter genom vilket enskilda producenter som vill sluta att odla tobak definitivt kan slja tillbaka sina kvoter till EU om de inte kan sljas till andra producenter.
Buy-back by the EU results in a permanent reduction in the national and EU production threshold. 
EU:s terkp leder till en permanent snkning av trskeln fr den nationella produktionen och EU:s produktion.
Finally, there is a system of national quota reserves created by Member States from deductions from the quotas allocated to producers. 
Slutligen finns det ett system med nationella reservkvo-ter som skapats av medlemsstaterna genom avdrag frn de kvoter som tilldelas producenterna.
These reserves are intended to encourage existing producers to switch to other crops and/or restructure their holdings and to allow producers who wish to become tobacco producers to enter the market. 
Dessa reserver har som syfte att uppmuntra befintliga producenter att verg till andra grdor och/eller stlla om sina jordbruksfretag och ge de producenter som vill bli tobaksproducenter mjlighet att komma in p marknaden.
Specific aid for producer groups 14. 
Srskilt std till producentsammanslutningar 14.
Producer groups are required to play an important role in achieving the marketŐs objectives. 
Producentsammanslutningarna skall spela en viktig roll nr det gller att uppn marknadens ml.
Provided they satisfy regulatory requirements and are officially recognised by Member States, they are granted 2 % from the total premium paid to producers. 
Frutsatt att de uppfyller de rttsliga kraven och r officiellt erknda av medlemsstaterna fr de 2 % av det totala bidrag som betalas till producenter.
At least half of the funds made available are intended to compensate them for costs on employment of technical staff and purchase of certified seeds or seedlings with the objective to improve product quality and environmental protection measures. 
Minst hlften av de medel som gjorts tillgngliga r avsedda fr att erstta deras kostnader fr att anstlla teknisk personal och kpa in certifierade frn eller certifierat utsde fr att hja produktions-kvaliteten och frbttra miljskyddstgrderna.
Any remainder may be used on infrastructure measures for enhancing the value of the tobacco such as grading, storage and handling facilities and on employment of administrative staff. 
Eventuella kvarstende medel kan anvndas till infrastrukturtgrder fr att ka vrdet p tobaken, till exempel anlggningar fr sortering, lagring och hantering, och till att anstlla administrativ personal.
The Tobacco Fund 15. 
Tobaksfonden 15.
The Fund was used to finance research into tobacco varieties, production methods and for combating smoking through information campaigns to increase public awareness of its harmful effects. 
Fonden anvndes till att finansiera forskning om tobakssorter och produktionsmetoder och ocks till bekmpning av rkning genom informationskampanjer fr att ka allmnhetens medvetenhet om rkningens skadeverkningar.
The research element has now been transferred to the EUŐs research programme from 2003. 
Frn 2003 har forskningsdelen flyttats ver till EU:s forskningsprogram.
From the 2002 harvest onwards, the Fund finances actions primarily to improve public awareness of the harmful effects of all forms of tobacco consumption and other actions to assist producers to convert from tobacco cultivation to other crops or activities. 
Sedan skrderet 2002 finansierar fonden tgrder som i frsta hand kar allmnhetens medvetenhet om de skadeverkningar som alla former av tobakskonsumtionen leder till och andra tgrder fr att hjlpa tobaksproducenter att verg till andra grdor eller verksamheter.
It is currently financed by withholding 3 % from the premium. 
Den finansieras fr nrvarande genom ett avdrag p 3 % av bidraget.
Audit objectives 16. 
Granskningsml 16.
The Court has reported on the CMO on three previous occasions (8), the last being in its Annual Report for 1996. 
Revisionsrtten har rapporterat om den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden vid tre tidigare tillfllen (8) och senast i rsrapporten fr 1996.
The purpose of the present audit was to examine the reformed market regime introduced in 1998. 
Syftet med den hr granskningen var att underska den nya marknadsordning som infrdes 1998.

C 41/6 EN Official Journal of the European Union 17.2.2005 17. (a) (b) (c) The main objectives were to assess whether: the CommissionŐs proposals for changes to the CMO, as subsequently adopted in the 1998 reform, were soundly based; the measures introduced were well implemented and managed by the Commission and Member States; the CommissionŐs management, monitoring and evaluation processes enabled it to identify the extent to which the objectives of the reformed CMO were being achieved as foreseen. 
C 41/6 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 17.2.2005 17. a) b) c) De frmsta mlen var att bedma om kommissionens frslag till ndringar av den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden, ssom de senare antogs inom ramen fr 1998 rs reform, var vlgrundade, de tgrder som vidtogs genomfrdes och frvaltades vl av kommissionen och medlemsstaterna, och om kommissionens frvaltnings-, vervaknings-och utvrde-ringsprocesser gjorde det mjligt fr den att faststlla i vilken utstrckning mlen i den ndrade gemensamma organisationen av marknaden uppnddes som planerat. tobaksodling var att producenterna hjde kvaliteten p tobaken, erhll hgre priser och minskade sitt beroende av std.
The measures introduced reflected this. 
De tgrder som vidtogs speglade detta.
Accordingly, the Commission expected that the combined effect of all the elements of the reform would improve the quality of tobacco produced in the Community and reduce the exports of subsidised poor quality tobacco. 
Kommissionen frvntade sig fljaktligen att den kombinerade effekten av reformens alla delar skulle hja kvaliteten p den tobak som produceras i gemenskapen och minska exporten av subventionerad lgkvalitetstobak.
Information and analysis underlying the 1998 reform proposal The significance of tobacco production for employment was based on incomplete information 21. 
Informationen och analysen som ligger till grund fr 1998 rs reformfrslag Bedmningen av tobaksodlingens betydelse fr sysselsttningen grundade sig p ofullstndiga uppgifter 21.
The CommissionŐs assessment of the significance of tobacco production in relation to employment in the producing regions and the proposal to continue with the production aid scheme should have been based on up-to-date information from Member States. 
Kommissionens bedmning av tobaksodlingens betydelse fr sysselsttningen i de producerande omrdena och frslaget att man skall fortstta med produktionsstdordningen borde ha grundats p aktuella uppgifter frn medlemsstaterna.
The Court found that the CommissionŐs 1996 estimate (used in the context of its reform proposals) of 170 000 full-time workers being dependent on tobacco production was based on data relating to 1986 (for man hours per hectare) and to 1993 (for areas under cultivation). 
Revisionsrtten upptckte att kommissionens uppskattning frn 1996 (som anvndes i samband med kommissionens reformfrslag) att 170 000 heltidsarbetande var beroende av tobaksodlingen grundades p uppgifter som gllde 1986 (i frga om arbetstimmar per hektar) och 1993 (i frga om odlingsarea-ler).
More up-to-date information was not requested from Member States. 
Aktuellare uppgifter begrdes inte av medlemsstaterna.
Since this estimate was not reliable, the Court compared it with the most recent data available for the year 1999 in the CommissionŐs 2003 evaluation report. 
Eftersom denna uppskattning inte var tillfrlitlig jmfrde revisionsrtten den med de senaste tillgngliga uppgifterna fr 1999 i kommissionens utvrderingsrapport fr 2003.
This report suggested that around 64 000 full-time workers were involved in producing 90 % of the EUŐs production. 
Enligt den rapporten stod cirka 64 000 heltidsarbetande fr 90 % av EU:s produktion.
The Court estimates this meant about 72 000 were involved overall. 
Enligt revisionsrttens berkningar skulle det innebra cirka 72 000 heltidsarbetande totalt.
This is less than half of the CommissionŐs estimate made three years earlier. 
Det r mindre n hlften av kommissionens uppskattning tre r tidigare.
In the opinion of the Court, this is likely to be closer to the situation actually prevailing in 1996 when the Commission made its proposals. 
Revisionsrtten anser att denna siffra frmodligen ligger nrmare den situation som faktiskt rdde 1996 nr kommissionen lade fram sina frslag.
Applying the total budget of about 1 000 million euro per year to the estimated 72 000 full-time workers, aid represents 13 653 euro per person. 
Frdelar man budgeten p cirka 1 000 miljoner euro per r till de uppskattningsvis 72 000 heltidsarbetande motsvarar stdet 13 653 euro per person.
The difference with the number of 7 600 euro mentioned by the Commission is due to the fact that it uses a number of working units from a different source whereas the Court uses a number based on figures verified by the external evaluator contracted by the Commission. 
Skillnaden mot det belopp p 7 600 euro som kommissionen anger beror p det faktum att kommissionen anvnder ett antal arbetsenheter som kommer frn en annan klla medan revisionsrtten anvnder ett antal som grundar sig p siffror som verifierats av den externa utvrderare som kommissionen anlitade.
Finally, the Commission considered that tobacco production was important for the entire populationŐs livelihood in some producing areas. 
Slutligen ansg kommissionen att tobaksodlingen var viktig fr hela befolkningens utkomst i vissa producerande omrden.
This conclusion was based on statements from Member States. 
Denna slutsats grundades p uttalanden frn medlemsstaterna.
When questioned during the audit, Member States were unable to produce any evidence for their statements. 
Nr frgan stlldes till medlemsstaterna under granskningen kunde de inte lgga fram ngot som stdde dessa uttalanden.
18. missionŐs management derive from the Financial Regulation and focused on whether: The criteria against which the Court examined the Com-(a) mobilisation of resources was preceded by an evaluation of the costs and benefits likely to be involved; (b) market objectives were quantified and progress monitored; (c) the budget was used in such a way as to ensure sound financial management in particular economy and cost effectiveness; (d) operations were subject to regular review during the annual budgetary process so that their continued justification could be verified. 
18. ning utgick den frn kriterier som hrrr frn budgetfrordningen och som r inriktade p huruvida Nr revisionsrtten granskade kommissionens frvalt-a) mobiliseringen av resurser fregicks av en bedmning av kostnaderna och sannolika vinster, b) marknadsmlen var kvantifierade och framstegen vervakades, c) budgeten anvndes p ett sdant stt att man kunde garantera en sund ekonomisk frvaltning, srskilt i frga om ekonomi och kostnadseffektivitet, och huruvida d) transaktionerna granskades regelbundet under det rliga budgetfrfarandet s att det gick att kontrollera att de fortfarande var motiverade.
The main sources of audit evidence were: (a) interviews with staff in tobacco-related Commission services, the competent national authorities, producers and processors and other relevant parties acting in the tobacco market; (b) documentation obtained from the Commission, Member States, and other informed sources; (c) on-the-spot examinations in Germany, Greece, Spain, France and Italy who, between them, receive 97,7 % of the premiums; the transactions examined covered 20 producer groups representing some 40 % of EU tobacco producers. 
De viktigaste kllorna till de verifierande underlagen var a) intervjuer med personal p avdelningar vid kommissionen som hade med tobakssektorn att gra, de behriga nationella myndigheterna, producenter och bearbetningsfretag och andra berrda parter p tobaksmarknaden, b) dokumentation som erhllits frn kommissionen, medlemsstaterna och andra initierade kllor, och c) granskningar p plats i Tyskland, Grekland, Spanien, Frankrike och Italien vilka tillsammans tar emot 97,7 % av bidra-gen; de transaktioner som granskades omfattade 20 producentsammanslutningar som str fr cirka 40 % av EU:s tobaksproduktion.
PREPARATION FOR THE 1998 REFORM 20. 
F RBEREDELSE AV 1998 RS REFORM 20.
The Court examined the process through which the Commission prepared its reform proposal and noted that it had been prepared on certain key assumptions. 
Revisionsrtten granskade hur kommissionen frberedde sina frslag till reform och konstaterade att de byggde p vissa principiella antaganden.
These were that tobacco was of material importance for employment and the entire populationŐs livelihood in some areas; alternative cultivation was not viable; the existing market imbalance and the need for significant support was attributable to the poor quality of tobacco produced which resulted in low prices being obtained. 
Dessa gick ut p att tobaken hade en vsentlig betydelse fr sysselsttningen och hela befolkningens utkomst i vissa omrden, att alternativ odling inte var genomfrbar och att den befintliga obalansen p marknaden och behovet av betydande std berodde p den producerade tobakens lga kvalitet, vilket resulterade i lgre priser.
17.2.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 41/7 The justification for continuing to support tobacco production was not soundly based 26. 
17.2.2005 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 41/7 Motiveringen till fortsatt std till tobaksodlingen var inte vlgrundad 26.
When preparing the new policy, the Commission concluded that, if quality did not improve, EU production was doomed in the medium term. 
Nr kommissionen utarbetade sin nya politik drog den slutsatsen att om kvaliteten inte hjdes var EU:s tobaksproduktion dmd p medellng sikt.
It considered that the EU still had the potential to produce better quality tobacco, and therefore decided to provide an incentive by linking premium to the quality produced. 
Kommissionen ansg att EU fortfarande kunde producera tobak av hgre kvalitet och beslutade drfr att uppmuntra producenterna till detta genom att koppla bidraget till den kvalitet som producerades.
The Commission assumed that the market price would reflect the quality of tobacco. 
Kommissionen antog att marknadspriset skulle avspegla kvaliteten p tobaken.
However this did not reflect the reality of the market and other errors were made in interpreting the data used. 
Men den bilden stmde inte med de faktiska frhllandena p marknaden, och andra misstag begicks vid tolkningen av de uppgifter som anvndes.
Firstly, the Commission based its policy on the assumption that EU production of certain variety groups could meet EU demand if a larger proportion of better quality tobacco was produced, thus reducing the mismatch between production and demand. 
Fr det frsta grundade kommissionen sin politik p antagandet att EU-produktionen av vissa sortgrupper skulle kunna motsvara efterfrgan inom EU om det producerades en strre andel tobak av hg kvalitet, vilket skulle gra produktionen mer anpassad till efterfrgan.
The Commission did not take sufficiently into account however, that EU consumer demand had switched from dark cigarettes, produced from dark air-cured tobaccos, to American and English blends which require tobacco which cannot be produced in the EU. 
Kommissionen beaktade dock inte i tillrckligt hg grad att EU-konsumenternas efterfrgan hade vxlat frn mrka cigaretter, som produceras av mrk lufttorkad tobak, till amerikanska och engelska blandningar, som krver tobak som inte kan produceras inom EU.
These qualities derived from agronomic and climatic conditions prevailing in the countries of origin. 
Att tobaken har dessa egenskaper beror p de odlings-och klimatfrhllanden som rder i ursprungslnderna.
Because the EU cannot produce certain varieties of tobacco required, the possibility to match production to EU demand was limited. 
Eftersom EU inte kan producera vissa tobakssorter var mjligheterna att anpassa produktionen till efterfrgan inom EU begrnsad.
Secondly, the CommissionŐs conclusion that modulation of the premium in relation to price would improve quality was based on its assessment that the higher prices obtained for tobacco originating outside the EU were uniquely a reflection of its superior quality. 
Fr det andra grundades kommissionens slutsats att differentieringen av bidragen i frhllande till priset skulle frbttra kvaliteten p bedmningen att de hgre priser som betalades fr tobak som kom frn lnder utanfr EU enbart berodde p att den var av bttre kvalitet.
Accordingly the Commission considered that, if tobacco produced in the EU was of better quality producers would receive better prices. 
Drfr ansg kommissionen att om den tobak som produceras i EU var av hgre kvalitet skulle producenterna f bttre betalt.
However the price comparison it made between the high non-EU prices and the lower internal prices was not reliable for the following reasons: (a) the comparison of EU and non-EU market prices in those tobacco producing countries selected for comparison, Malawi, Zimbabwe and the USA, did not take account of the fact that EU prices were subsidised through aid and that non-EU prices were maintained at relatively higher levels because of price support through production restrictions; (b) the Commission had no assurance that the export prices it used to value raw tobacco sold represented the value of the sales. 
Men de prisjmfrelser som kommissionen gjorde mellan de hga priserna p tobak frn lnder utanfr EU och de lgre priserna p inhemsk tobak var inte tillfrlitliga av fljande skl: a) I jmfrelsen mellan marknadspriser inom och utanfr EU i de tobaksproducerande lnder som valts ut till jmfrelsen Đ Malawi, Zimbabwe och USA Đ beaktade man inte det faktum att EU-priserna var subventionerade och att priserna utanfr EU upprtthlls p relativt hgre niver p grund av prisstd genom produktionsrestriktioner. b) Kommissionen hade inga garantier fr att de exportpriser som anvndes fr att vrdera den rtobak som slts motsvarade frsljningsvrdet.
Tobacco is often sold initially to multinational companies and traded within them (e.g. for tax reasons), before being sold to manufacturers at a higher price. 
Ofta sljs tobaken frst till multinationella fretag som handlar med den sinsemellan (till exempel av skatteskl) innan den sljs vidare till tillverkare till ett hgre pris.
