Normally population density is the yardstick for defining rural areas. However, data was not available in certain countries, and the Commission approved the use of other criteria. 
Vanligtvis fr befolk-ningsttheten vara mttstock nr landsbygdsomrdena skall faststllas, men det fanns inga uppgifter tillgngliga i vissa lnder och kommissionen godknde drfr att man anvnde andra kriterier.
This led to Sapard co-financing investments of very doubtful rural nature. 
Detta ledde till att Sapard medfinansierade investeringar i omrden med mycket tveksam landsbygdskaraktr.
Several cases were found where the area served by the project was, in effect, a suburb of a larger town. 
I flera fall visade det sig att det omrde som fick projektet i sjlva verket var frort till en strre stad.
The true rural nature of the municipalities was not established. This is despite the fact that the gap between infrastructure facilities of urban and rural areas within Sapard countries is generally greater than between urban and rural areas in the present Member States. and reporting on objectives and priorities by the Commission was not as required 50. 
Kommunernas verkliga landsbygdskarak-tr blev inte faststlld. Detta borde ha gjorts, srskilt med tanke p det faktum att klyftan mellan infrastrukturer i stads-och landsbygdsomrden i Sapardlnderna i allmnhet r strre n klyftan mellan stads-och landsbygdsomrdena i de nuvarande medlemsstaterna.
Article 13 of the Sapard Regulation stipulates that the Commission shall present an annual report on the Community support granted, in which it shall outline, in particular, the progress made towards achieving the objectives set out. 
Kommissionens rapportering om ml och prioriteringar uppfyllde inte kraven 50. Enligt artikel 13 i Sapardfrordningen skall kommissionen lgga fram en rlig rapport om gemenskapsstd som beviljats dr den frmst skall sammanfatta hur arbetet med att uppn mlen fortskrider.
In order to do this, objective criteria for measuring the progress towards achieving objectives or the priorities of the Sapard Regulation, such as a summary of the main indicators set out in the Sapard programmes, should have been set out in the annual reports. 
Fr att kunna gra detta borde kommissionen i de rliga rapporterna ha faststllt objektiva kriterier fr att mta framstegen nr det gller att uppn mlen eller prioriteringarna i Sapardfrordningen, till exempel i form av en sammanfattning av de frmsta indikatorerna i Sapardprogrammen.
The 2000, 2001 and 2002 annual reports from the Commission provide detailed and technical descriptions of actions taken by the Commission including progress in terms of setting up the systems and payments (1). 
Kommissionens rliga rapporter fr 2000, 2001 och 2002 innehller detaljerade och tekniska beskrivningar av de tgrder som kommissionen vidtog, dribland de framsteg som gjorts vad gller inrttande av system och betalningar (1).
Four years after the start of the programme, the Commission has not established or communicated the extent to which the objectives set out for the programme have been achieved. 
Fyra r efter det att programmet inletts har kommissionen fortfarande inte faststllt eller meddelat i vilken omfattning de uppstllda mlen fr programmet har uppntts.
Institution building has been positive except for agri-environment 52. 
Institutionsuppbyggnaden har varit positiv utom nr det gller miljtgrder inom jordbruket 52.
Despite the objectives and priority areas defined in the Council Regulation, the Commission views Sapard mainly as an institutional-building device to ensure the easy take-up of Community practices after accession. 
Trots de ml och prioriterade omrden som faststlls i rdets frordning ser kommissionen Sapard frmst som ett instrument fr institutionsuppbyggnad, vilket skall underltta fr de blivande medlemsstaterna att tillmpa gemenskapens arbetsmetoder efter anslutningen.
Thus, the Commission has stressed on various occasions, including in its annual reports, that the real contribution of Sapard is to facilitate implementation of necessary arrangements after accession. 
Som en fljd drav har kommissionen vid olika tillfllen, ocks i sina rsrapporter, betonat att Sapards verkliga bidrag r att instrumentet gr det lttare att infra ndvndiga arrangemang efter anslutningen.
However, Sapard should primarily be judged as to how well it has contributed to the objectives set when it was created. 
Men Sapard br i frsta hand bedmas efter hur vl det har bidragit till de ml som stlldes upp nr programmet inrttades.
It must also be borne in mind that institution building is one of the objectives of the Phare programme and programmes for easy take-up of Community practices have been implemented through Phare management procedures and paid for by the Phare budget (2). 
Det r viktigt att komma ihg att institutionsuppbyggnad r ett av mlen fr Phareprogrammet och att program som underlttar infrandet av gemenskapens arbetsmetoder har genomfrts via Phares frvaltningsfrfaranden och betalats ur Pharebudge-ten (2).
In each of the countries visited around 6 million euro from Phare was used for pre-accession advisers, experts for programming and setting up and auditing the systems, pilot projects and computer equipment for and training of staff in the bodies which were implementing Sapard. 
I vart och ett av de beskta lnderna anvndes cirka 6 miljoner euro till franslutningskonsulter, experter p programplanering och inrttande och granskning av systemen, pilotprojekt och datorutrustning till och utbildning av personal vid de organ som genomfrde Sapard.

The institution-building effect of Sapard has been positive. 
Effekten av Sapards institutionsuppbyggnad har varit positiv.
Phare paid for and managed the institution building, while Sapard provided the opportunity of Ôlearning-by-doingŐ. 
Phare betalade och frvaltade institutionsuppbyggnaden medan Sapard erbjd mjlighet till praktisk tillmpning.
Sapard could provide national administrations with hands-on experience for the management of EU funds because many procedures are the same (programming, implementation procedures, monitoring). 
Sapard kunde ge nationella frvaltningar praktisk erfarenhet av frvaltning av EU-medel eftersom mnga frfaranden r likadana (programplanering, genomfrandebestmmelser och vervakning).
The combined results of Phare and Sapard have been an achievement, because structures and systems which were virtually non-existent only a few years ago have been set up and were found to be both operational and generally effective. 
Resultaten av Phare och Sapard i kombination har varit en framgng, eftersom strukturer och system som var nst intill obefintliga fr bara ngra r sedan inrttades och visade sig vara bde operativa och i allmnhet ndamlsenliga.
Paragraphs 61 to 65 provide further details on these systems. 
I punkterna 61Đ65 finns nrmare upplysningar om dessa system.
This important rural development measure is the only one which is compulsory for Member States, and it is also the largest, representing 41 % of funds available for rural development under EAGGF Guarantee. 
Denna viktiga tgrd fr landsbygdens utveckling r den enda som r obligatorisk fr medlemsstaterna och ocks den strsta, den motsvarar 41 % av tillgngliga medel fr landsbygdens utveckling enligt EUGFJ:s garantisektion.
The reform of the CAP also places increased importance on agricultural environment. 
I reformen av den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken betonas ocks betydelsen av jordbruksmilj.
Due to the complexity of the agri-environment measure in general, and the fact that it was conceived as a pilot under Sapard, details were issued by the Commission to the Sapard countries only on 21 December 2001. 
Trots att miljtgrder inom jordbruket rent allmnt r en komplicerad tgrd och trots att den utformades som en pilottgrd under Sapard utfrdade inte kommissionen ngra nrmare bestmmelser riktade till Sapardlnderna frrn den 21 december 2001.
These details required modifications to the Sapard Programmes which have been approved for each country and the setting up and approval of the relevant systems. 
Dessa bestmmelser ledde till att man mste gra ndringar i de Sapardprogram som godknts fr varje land och inrtta och godknna relevanta system.
This meant that the measure could not be implemented before the end of 2002. 
Detta innebar att tgrden inte kunde genomfras fre utgngen av 2002.
By December 2003, only the Czech Republic and Slovakia managed to do this. 
I december 2003 var det bara Tjeckien och Slovakien som hade lyckats gra det.
Hungary even removed the whole measure from Sapard. 
I Ungern drogs till och med hela tgrden bort frn Sapard.
Poland suggested doing the same, but was convinced by the Commission of the relevance of keeping it. 
I Polen freslogs samma sak, men kommissionen vertygade landet om betydelsen av att ha den kvar.
However, delays in working out the detailed implementation rules continued, and the measure was not implemented in Poland before it joined the EU. 
Men frseningar i utarbetandet av detaljerade genomfrandebestmmelser frekom fortfarande och tgrden genomfrdes inte i Polen innan landet anslt sig till EU.
The Commission defined for the agri-environment measure that the actions should have the objective of developing practical experience of agri-environment implementation at both the administrative and farm levels. 
Nr det gller tgrden miljvnligt jordbruk faststllde kommissionen att tgrderna skulle ha som ml att utveckla den praktiska erfarenheten av att genomfra miljtgrder bde p administrativ niv och jordbruksfretagsniv.
This objective has not been met, because by December 2003, six out of eight beneficiary countries acceding in May 2004 had gained only limited experience of implementing this measure under Sapard. 
Mlet har inte uppfyllts eftersom sex av de tta mottagarlnder som i maj 2004 skall ansluta sig till EU i december 2003 endast hade liten erfarenhet av att genomfra denna tgrd enligt Sapard.
ASSESSMENT OF SYSTEMS SET UP IN SAPARD COUNTRIES Prior approval of the systems has ensured tight financial control systems 58. 
BED MNING AV DE SYSTEM SOM INRTTATS I LNDERNA Frhandsgodknnande av systemen har garanterat strikta system fr finansiell kontroll 58.
The Sapard legal basis required a decision from the Commission on decentralised management, based on an analysis of the management and control systems of the country concerned (known as conferral of management). 
Enligt Sapards rttsliga grund krvs det ett beslut frn kommissionen om decentraliserad frvaltning, grundat p en analys av frvaltnings-och kontrollsystemen i det land det gller (s kallad delegering av frvaltningen).
As at December 2003, 17 Commission decisions were made for parts of the system approved in a country, each of which conferred management of aid on a provisional basis. 
I december 2003 fattades 17 kommissionsbeslut fr delar av det godknda systemet i ett land, dr varje beslut innebar att frvaltningen av stdet delegerades tillflligt.
Full conferral, which was envisaged after further verifications by the Commission and implementation of Commission recommendations, was not given. 
En fullstndig delegering, som skulle gras efter det att kommissionen hade gjort ytterligare kontroller och efter det att dess rekommendationer hade genomfrts, gjordes aldrig.
The Commission did not assume its responsibility to fully decentralise management. 
Kommissionen tog inte sitt ansvar att fullstndigt decentralisera frvaltningen.
Indeed, the Commission did not define the criteria to be met to receive full conferral of management. 
I sjlva verket faststllde inte kommissionen vilka kriterier som mste uppfyllas fr att en fullstndig delegering av frvaltningen skall kunna gras.
The CommissionŐs analyses, in the form of system audits, have ensured that a well-defined system with key controls was in place before any funds could be spent (1). 
Kommissionens analyser, i form av kontroller av systemen, garanterade att ett vlutvecklat system med nyckelkontroller fanns p plats innan medlen kunde utbetalas (1).
Consequently, Sapard countries started project implementation (concluding contracts) after the Commission decision approving the systems, when all procedures, check lists and forms were approved. 
Som en fljd drav brjade Sapardlnderna genomfra projekten (tecknande av kontrakt) efter att kommissionen hade fattat beslutet att godknna systemen, dvs. efter det att alla frfaranden, kontrollistor och blanketter hade godknts.
This situation is different in Member States, where Structural Funds expenditure for the period 2000-2006 was eligible from 1 January 2000 or, in certain circumstances, as soon as the first draft of the programming document was submitted to the Commission, without prior approval of the systems. 
Situationen r annorlunda i medlemsstaterna dr utgifterna fr strukturtgrder fr perioden 2000Đ2006 var stdberttigande frn den frsta januari 2000 eller i vissa fall s fort det frsta utkastet till programdokumentet hade verlmnats till kommissionen trots att systemen inte hade ftt ngot frhandsgodknnande.
Systems were generally working in practice 61. 
I allmnhet fungerade systemen i praktiken 61.
Structural Fund procedures are applied for programming, monitoring and evaluation. 
Frfarandena fr strukturfonderna tillmpas nr det gller programplanering, vervakning och utvrdering.
EAGGF Guarantee Fund procedures are used for the financial management, including the clearance of accounts procedure (2) and use of paying agencies. 
Frfarandena fr EUGFJ:s garantifond anvnds fr den ekonomiska frvaltningen, dr frfarandet fr avslutandet av rkenskaperna (2) och anlitandet av betalningsstllen ingr.
The programming exercise, which was entirely new for Sapard countries, required them, inter alia, to describe the strategy, select priorities, describe the measures and indicate the financial resources to be used. 
Enligt frfarandet fr programplanering, som var helt nytt fr Sapardlnderna, skall lnderna bland annat faststlla en strategi, faststlla prioriteringar, beskriva tgrderna och ange de ekonomiska resurser som skall anvndas.
Nonetheless, all Sapard programmes for agriculture and rural development were ready and approved by the Commission in the autumn of 2000. 
Trots detta var samtliga Sapardprogram fr jordbruk och landsbygdsutveckling klara och godknda av kommissionen hsten 2000.
It took no longer to establish Sapard programmes than it took for Member States to have their Structural Fund programmes approved. 
Det tog inte lngre tid att faststlla Sapardprogrammen n det tog fr medlemsstaterna att f sina strukturfondsprogram godknda.
Monitoring structures were also set up within an acceptable time. 
Det inrttades ven vervakningsstrukturer inom rimlig tid.
The paying agencies set up in the Sapard countries for implementation of Sapard will in most cases be the paying agencies which will be used for the management of EU funds after accession. 
De utbetalningsstllen som inrttats i Sapardlnderna fr genomfrandet av Sapard kommer i de flesta fall att vara de utbetalningsstllen som skall anvndas vid frvaltning av EU-medel efter anslutningen.
In Lithuania and Poland, the agencies will be managing both the Guarantee and Guidance sections of the EAGGF. 
I Litauen och Polen kommer utbetalningsstllena att frvalta bde garanti-och utvecklingssektionen vid EUGFJ.

As in the Member States, internal audit units were operational in all paying agencies and the attestation of the accounts and reports on management and control systems were performed by operationally independent certifying bodies. 
P samma stt som i medlemsstaterna var enheter fr intern kontroll operativa vid alla utbetalningsstllen, och operativt oberoende attesteringsorgan utfrdade intyg om rkenskaperna och skrev rapporter om frvaltnings-och kontrollsystemen.
The Court found that professional audits were performed. 
Revisionsrtten konstaterade att granskningarna som utfrdes var professionella.
The Court reviewed the procedure descriptions and checklists and checked 33 files to test that the systems worked as documented. 
Revisionsrtten granskade beskrivningar av frfarandena och kontrollistorna och 33 handlingar fr att kontrollera att systemen fungerade som dokumenterat.
Notwithstanding the weaknesses identified later in this report, the Court found for the Sapard systems that key concepts were included, that procedures were well documented, that the systems which existed on paper were generally working in practice and that for most files the checking procedures were followed. but there was a lack of supporting elements in files 66. 
Revisionsrtten konstaterade att Sapardsystemen hade vissa brister (se lngre fram i rapporten), men att de innehll nyckelbegrepp, att frfarandena var vl dokumenterade, att de system som fanns p papperet i allmnhet fungerade i praktiken och att kontrollfrfarandena fljdes fr merparten av handlingarna. Det saknades verifierande underlag i handlingarna 66.
A common problem with the files reviewed in the four countries visited was a lack of documentation of checks. 
Ett vanligt problem med de handlingar som granskades i de fyra lnder som besktes var att det saknades dokumentation av kontrollerna.
Check lists were completed but the files generally did not contain justifications or explanations to support the conclusions indicated by the assessors. 
Kontrollistorna var ifyllda men handlingarna innehll i allmnhet inte ngra motiveringar eller frklaringar som styrkte de slutsatser som granskaren kom fram till.
Notably there were no notes or working papers setting out the tasks performed such as calculations, documents checked on the spot or people met on the spot etc. 
Det fanns inga anteckningar eller arbetsdokument dr man redogjorde fr det utfrda arbetet, till exempel berkningar, dokument som hade kontrollerats p plats och personer som deltagit m.m.
In the absence of such documents, the work of the second reviewer of the check list was limited to verifying that all boxes had been ticked, rather than carrying out a meaningful check. 
Eftersom det saknades sdana dokument begrnsades arbetet fr den som kvalitetsgranskade kontrollistorna till att kontrollera att granskaren hade kryssat i alla rutor och han kunde drfr inte gra ngon meningsfull kontroll.
Since guidelines setting out how checks should be performed did not always exist, it was generally not possible for the CourtŐs auditors to review what work was performed and to ascertain on what basis the boxes in the check lists were ticked as satisfactory. 
Eftersom det inte alltid fanns riktlinjer som angav hur kontrollerna skulle utfras var det oftast omjligt fr revisionsrttens revisorer att granska vad det var fr arbete som hade utfrts och att utrna p vilken grund rutan ÓtillfredsstllandeÓ hade kryssats i i kontrollistorna.
An example of this was the lack of documentation for the analyses of business plans in Lithuania. 
Ett exempel p detta var avsaknaden av dokumentation om analyserna av verksamhetsplaner i Litauen.
Applicants have to submit business plans in support of their project. 
De skande mste lmna in verksamhetsplaner som stder deras projekt.
These plans indicate the viability of the business including the investment. 
I dessa planer anges verksamhetens och ocks investeringens genomfrbarhet.
The procedure in Lithuania requires the evaluator to analyse the business plans. 
Enligt frfarandet i Litauen skall bedmaren analysera verksamhetsplanerna.
This work is very technical and requires more than what is currently done: a tick in the box ÔYesŐ, for example, signifies that Ôthe indexes and financial ratios of the farming activity correspond to the critical values established by the Minister of Agriculture.Ő Sapard systems relied on other weaker systems 68. 
Med tanke p att detta arbete r mycket tekniskt krvs det mer n vad som grs fr nrvarande, dvs. att stta ett kryss i ruta ÓjaÓ. Det vore bra om man till exempel kunde precisera att Ójordbruksverk-samhetens index och finansiella nyckeltal motsvarar de kritiska vrden som faststllts av jordbruksministern.Ó Sapardsystemen var beroende av andra, svagare system 68.
The Sapard systems need prior approval from the Commission which is based on audits. 
Sapardsystemen mste f ett frhandsgodknnande av kommissionen som skall grunda sig p kontroller.
The same procedure does not, however, apply to systems which are directly related to and which provide input to the Sapard systems. 
Samma frfarande gller dock inte fr andra system som direkt har att gra med och som frser Sapardsystemen med uppgifter.
Examples of this are recruitment procedures for staff and checks to examine minimum standards for hygiene, environment and animal welfare. 
Exempel p detta r anstllningsfrfarandena fr personal och kontroller av miniminormerna fr hygien, milj och djurens vlbefinnande.
These systems and procedures are not covered by the CommissionŐs audits and prior approval of the systems. 
Dessa system och frfaranden omfattas inte av kommissionens kontroller och frhandsgodknnanden.
The Sapard legal basis requires that adequate personnel, with suitable experience, must be available and assigned to the task (1). 
Enligt Sapards rttsliga grund mste lmplig personal med passande erfarenheter finnas tillgnglig och vara avdelad fr uppgiften (1).
Examination of the recruitment procedures in Bulgaria, Lithuania and Poland found that recently recruited staff were not recruited using transparent procedures and that personnel files did not contain any information on the procedure followed or documentation on the selection of the staff concerned. 
Vid granskningen av anstllningsfrfarandena i Bulgarien, Litauen och Polen visade det sig att nyanstlld personal inte hade rekryterats genom frfaranden som medger insyn och att personalakterna inte innehll ngon information om vilket frfarande som hade fljts eller ngon dokumentation om urvalet av den berrda personalen.
