Following an evaluation of the Regulation in 1999, it was amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2698/2000 (3), which is generally referred to as the MEDA-II Regulation. 
Frordningen utvrderades 1999 och ndrades drefter genom rdets frordning (EG) nr 2698/2000 (3) som i allmnhet kallas Meda II-frordningen.
This Regulation provides a reference amount for the period 2000 to 2006 of 5 350 million euro. 
I denna frordning faststlls ett referensbelopp fr perioden 2000Đ2006 p 5 350 miljoner euro.
The amendment also added another area of activities to be supported (Improvement of conditions for the underprivileged), and it streamlined certain decision-making procedures. 
Genom ndringen tillkom ytterligare ett verksamhetsomrde som skall stdjas (Ófrbttra villkoren fr missgynnade befolknings-grupperÓ), och vissa beslutsfrfaranden effektiviserades.
Total actual commitments made for the years 1995 to 2005 amount to some 6 900 million euro, and actual disbursements for the same period to some 4 000 million euro. 
De totala faktiska taganden som gjordes fr ren 1995Đ2005 uppgr till omkring 6 900 miljoner euro, och de faktiska utbetalningarna under samma period uppgr till 4 000 miljoner euro.
A more detailed overview of commitments and disbursements by country for the period 1995 to 2005 is included in Annex I. Audit scope and approach 6. 
En mer detaljerad versikt ver taganden och utbetalningar per land under perioden 1995Đ2005 finns i bilaga I. Granskningens omfattning och granskningsmetod 6.
In the period August to December 2005 the Court carried out an audit of the MEDA programme, on the basis of the following questions. (a) (b) Does the MEDA programme actually contribute to economic reform and social development in the participating Mediterranean countries? Is the CommissionŐs management of the MEDA programme adequate? 
Under perioden augustiĐdecember 2005 utfrde revisionsrtten en granskning av Medaprogrammet utifrn fljande frgor: a) Bidrar Medaprogrammet i praktiken till ekonomiska reformer och social utveckling i de deltagande Medelhavslnderna? b) r kommissionens frvaltning av Medaprogrammet tillfredsstllande?
7. include programme relevance and focus, degree of ownership, capacity-building and results achieved. 
7. De viktigaste aspekter som granskades i anslutning till den frsta frgan var bland annat programmens relevans och inriktning, graden av egenansvar, kapacitetsuppbyggnad och uppndda resultat.
The main aspects considered for the second question are speed and efficiency of programming, preparation and implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and donor coordination. 
De viktigaste aspekter som beaktades i anslutning till den andra frgan var programplaneringens, utarbetandets och genomfrandets takt och effektivitet, vervakning och utvrdering samt samordning mellan givare.
Economic reform and social development include support for economic transition and the establishment of a Euro-Mediterranean free-trade area (e.g. trade improvements, job creation and private sector development), operations in support of reform programmes (e.g. in financial services and public administration), upgrading of economic infrastructures, particularly in the sectors of transport, energy, rural and urban development, and improvements to social services, especially in the areas of health, family planning, water supplies, sanitation and housing. 
Ekonomiska reformer och social utveckling inbegriper std till ekonomiska frndringar och inrttandet av ett frihan-delsomrde som omfattar Europa och Medelhavsomrdet (till exempel frbttrad handel, skapande av arbetstillfllen och utveckling av den privata sektorn), tgrder till std fr reformprogram (till exempel inom finansiella tjnster och offentlig frvaltning), upprustning av ekonomiska infrastrukturer, srskilt inom transporter, energi, utveckling av landsbygd och stder, och frbttrad social service, srskilt inom hlsovrd, familjeplanering, vattenfrsrjning, avlopp och boende.

The audit work included visits to Egypt and Morocco, where a selection of projects and programmes was audited and discussions were held with Delegation staff, local authorities, project managers, technical assistants and other donors. 
Granskningsarbetet inbegrep besk i Egypten och Marocko dr ett urval projekt och program granskades och diskussioner frdes med delegationspersonal, lokala myndigheter, projektledare, tekniska rdgivare och andra givare.
In addition a desk review of projects and programmes in Jordan was carried out. 
Dessutom utfrdes en skrivbordsgranskning av projekt och program i Jordanien.
The audit focused on projects funded under MEDA I and II. 
Granskningen var inriktad p projekt som finansierats genom Meda I och II.
Projects funded through the old Protocols (1), the regional component of the MEDA programme, or through horizontal and thematic budget lines were not included in this audit. 
Projekt som finansierats genom de gamla protokollen (1), genom den regionala komponenten i Medaprogrammet eller genom vergripande och tematiska budgetposter ingick inte i denna granskning.
The complete list of projects and programmes examined under the audit is included in Annex II. 
En fullstndig frteckning ver projekt och program som granskades finns i bilaga II.
Finally, the audit also examined relevant evaluation reports, prepared on behalf of the Commission, including the Mid-term evaluation of the MEDA-II programme, which was completed in 2005. 
Revisionsrtten granskade ven relevanta utvrderingsrapporter, som utarbetats fr kommissionens rkning, inklusive halvtidsutvrderingen av Meda II-programmet som var frdig 2005.
This evaluation has concentrated on two main questions, i.e. how relevant is the MEDA II programme and how effective/efficient are MEDA II management and implementation arrangements. 
Denna utvrdering inriktades p tv viktiga frgor, nmligen hur relevant Meda II-programmet r och hur ndamlsenliga/effektiva arrangemangen fr frvaltning och genomfrande av Meda II r.
These questions were divided into several sub-questions, for each of which an appropriate evaluation approach was designed, including an extensive documentary review and numerous interviews in the CommissionŐs Headquarters and in the two countries visited (Tunisia and Egypt). 
Dessa frgor delades upp i flera del-frgor, och fr var och en av dem utformades en lmplig utvrderingsmetod som bland annat innefattade en omfattande dokumentgranskning och mnga intervjuer vid kommissionens huvudkontor och i de tv lnder som besktes (Tunisien och Egypten).
The Court has analysed this evaluation in relation to its own audit and has concluded that it provides sufficient basis to use the evaluation results as corroborative evidence for its own audit findings (see also paragraphs 46 and 47). 
Revisionsrtten analyserade denna utvrdering i samband med sin egen granskning och drog slutsatsen att den ger en tillrcklig grund fr att utvrderingsresultaten skall kunna anvndas som styrkande underlag fr revisionsrttens egna granskningsresultat (se ocks punkterna 46 och 47).
Where relevant reference is therefore made to this mid-term evaluation. 
I tillmpliga fall hnvisas drfr till denna halvtidsutvrdering.
OBSERVATIONS Does the MEDA programme contribute to economic reforms and social development in the participating Mediterranean countries? 
IAKTTAGELSER Bidrar Medaprogrammet till ekonomiska reformer och social utveckling i de deltagande Medelhavslnderna?
Projects relevant to MEDA and country objectives but not always sufficiently concentrated 12. 
Projekten r relevanta fr Meda och de landsspecifika mlen men inte alltid tillrckligt koncentrerade 12.
All projects examined in the three countries covered by the audit were relevant to the MEDA objectives (2) and in line with the respective countryŐs national development objectives. 
Alla projekt som granskades i de tre lnder som omfattades av granskningen var relevanta i frhllande till Medas ml (2) och i linje med respektive lands nationella utvecklingsml.
Confirmation of this observation can be found in the CommissionŐs own mid-term evaluation of the MEDA-II programme, which concluded that the relevance of the programme was satisfactory. 
Den hr iakttagelsen bekrftas i kommissionens egen halvtidsutvrdering av Meda II-programmet, dr man drog slutsatsen att programmets relevans var tillfredsstllande.
(1) During the period 1979 to 1995 financial and technical cooperation with the Mediterranean countries was based on a series of bilateral Financial Protocols. 
(1) Under perioden 1979Đ1995 baserades det ekonomiska och tekniska samarbetet med lnderna i Medelhavsomrdet p en rad bilaterala finansiella protokoll.
(2) The first MEDA Regulation states that the Community will support the Mediterranean partnersŐ efforts to reform economic and social structures and mitigate any negative consequences which may result from economic development. 
(2) I den frsta Medafrordningen faststlls att gemenskapen skall stdja de anstrngningar som samarbetspartnerna i Medelhavsomrdet gr fr att reformera sina ekonomiska och sociala strukturer och fr att mildra de negativa fljder som den ekonomiska utvecklingen kan f.
The more detailed list of possible support measures is given in Annex II of the MEDA Regulation. 
En mer detaljerad frteckning ver mjliga stdtgrder finns i bilaga II till Meda-frordningen.
In all three countries the complete portfolio of EC support has been a mix of interventions aiming at economic reforms and social development, with Egypt and Morocco showing a fair balance between these two different areas, while in the case of Jordan the emphasis has been more on economic reforms. 
I alla tre lnder har det samlade EG-stdet besttt av en blandning av interventioner som syftar till ekonomiska reformer och social utveckling. I Egypten och Marocko rder jmvikt mellan dessa tv olika omrden, medan man i Jordanien har lagt mer tonvikt p ekonomiska reformer.
However, because the MEDA objectives and possible support measures are rather widely defined in the MEDA Regulations, the question is whether in practice the Commission has focused its support, which could increase the coherence of the support. 
Eftersom Medas ml och mjliga stdformer r ganska allmnt definierade i Medafrordningarna r frgan om kommissionen i praktiken har fokuserat sitt std, vilket skulle kunna ka stdets enhetlighet.
In two of the three countries examined (Egypt and Jordan) there has been a clear tendency to focus support on a limited number of sectors and through a limited number of interventions. 
I tv av de tre lnder som granskades (Egypten och Jordanien) har det funnits en tydlig tendens att rikta in stdet p ett begrnsat antal sektorer genom ett begrnsat antal interventioner.
In the third country, Morocco, this has not really been the case, as EC support has been spread over a larger number of interventions covering many different sectors, particularly during the MEDA-I period and with a slight improvement during MEDA-II (3). 
I det tredje landet (Marocko) har detta inte riktigt varit fallet eftersom EG-stdet har varit uppdelat p ett strre antal interventioner som tcker mnga olika sektorer, srskilt under Meda I-perioden och med en viss frbttring under Meda II-perioden (3).
Meanwhile the Commission has formulated a new external relations policy towards the neighbouring countries called the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). 
Under tiden har kommissionen utarbetat en ny politik fr yttre frbindelser gentemot grannlnderna kallad europeiska grannskapspolitiken.
Under this policy a new financial instrument (the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument) should become effective in 2007, replacing several other instruments including MEDA. 
Enligt denna politik skall ett nytt finansiellt instrument (det europeiska grannskaps-och partnerskapsinstru-mentet) trda i kraft 2007 och drmed erstta flera andra instrument, bland annat Meda.
As a first step towards implementing the ENP, specific Action Plans are being drawn up for all the partner countries. 
Som ett frsta steg p vgen mot genomfrandet av europeiska grannskapspolitiken utarbetas srskilda handlingsplaner fr alla partnerlnder.
Given that these Action Plans set out a full set of priorities covering all areas of cooperation (4), the forthcoming series of country strategy papers (covering the period 2007 to 2013) may have to focus on a more limited number of areas of intervention. 
Eftersom det i handlingsplanerna faststlls en fullstndig uppsttning prioriteringar som tcker alla samarbetsomrden (4) mste den kommande omgngen av landsspecifika strategidokument (som gller perioden 2007Đ2013) eventuellt inriktas p ett mer begrnsat antal interventionsomrden.
Ownership helps to achieve better results and is being encouraged through direct budget support 17. 
Egenansvar bidrar till bttre resultat och uppmuntras genom direkt budgetstd 17.
One of the generally accepted principles for effective aid is the encouragement of ownership (i.e. that the intended beneficiaries should have responsibility and control over projects and programmes at all stages) (5). 
En allmnt accepterad princip nr det gller ndamlsenligt std r att egenansvar skall uppmuntras (det vill sga att de avsedda mottagarna skall ha ansvar fr och kontroll ver projekten och programmen p alla stadier) (5).
Therefore, in considering whether the MEDA programme actually contributes to economic reform and social development in the participating Mediterranean countries, a second point of attention in the audit was whether the Commission has encouraged ownership of its programmes by the recipient governments. 
Vid bedmningen av om Medaprogrammet faktiskt bidrar till ekonomiska reformer och social utveckling i de deltagande Medelhavslnderna beaktades drfr vid granskningen ven om kommissionen har uppmuntrat de mottagande regeringarnas egenansvar fr programmen.
(3) As an indication, the number of projects/programmes approved under MEDA-I (support to EIB-interventions excluded) for Egypt was 4, for Jordan 6, and for Morocco 26. 
(3) Som en fingervisning var antalet projekt/program som godkndes inom Meda I (undantaget std till EIB-interventioner) 4 fr Egypten, 6 fr Jordanien och 26 fr Marocko.
For the MEDA-II period up to 2005 the numbers are 14 for Egypt, 8 for Jordan and 19 for Morocco. 
Fr Meda II-perioden fram till 2005 var antalet 14 fr Egypten, 8 fr Jordanien och 19 fr Marocko.
(4) The Action Plans for Morocco and Jordan which have already been adopted, include 85 and 68 different actions respectively to be undertaken.

One way of doing that is to replace the traditional project support by general budget support, whereby the recipient government and the donor agree on certain activities to be implemented (often policy reform measures) but instead of being used to cover specific expenditure the donor funds are paid directly into the government treasury. 
Ett stt att uppmuntra egenansvar r att erstta det traditionella projektstdet med allmnt budgetstd. Den mottagande regeringen och givaren kommer d verens om vissa verksamheter som skall genomfras (ofta politiska reformtgrder) och givarens medel betalas direkt till statskassan i stllet fr att anvndas till att tcka specifika utgifter.
The decision to use budget support also depends, of course, on fulfilment of certain conditions, such as the existence of a certain standard of public finance management (1). 
Beslutet om att anvnda budgetstd r frsts ocks beroende av att vissa villkor uppfylls, till exempel att frvaltningen av de offentliga finanserna hller en viss standard (1).
This method of delivering aid funds is generally considered to encourage a sense of ownership on the part of the recipient government, although it cannot ensure this (for an example of a budget support programme and the type of conditions involved, see Box 1). 
Denna metod fr att ge stdmedel anses allmnt uppmuntra den mottagande regeringens upplevelse av egenansvar, ven om den inte kan garantera det (ett exempel p ett budgetstdprogram och de typer av villkor som gller finns i ruta 1).
Box 1 Example of budget support Trade Enhancement Programme, Egypt (40 million euro) Programme objectives Ń Reduction of deadlines and costs associated with Customs import and export formalities and other checks and standards, Ń strengthening of export incentives. 
Ruta 1 Exempel p budgetstd Program fr utvidgning av handel, Egypten (40 miljoner euro) Programml Ń Frkortade tidsfrister och minskade kostnader i samband med tullformaliteter vid import och export och andra kontroller och standarder. Ń Frstrkta exportincitament.
Implementation mechanism In the Financing Agreement these objectives have been translated into a number of actions to be undertaken by the Egyptian authorities. 
Genomfrandemekanism I finansieringsverenskommelsen har dessa ml versatts till ett antal tgrder som skall vidtas av de egyptiska myndigheterna.
In addition to sector-specific actions, a budget support programme may also contain some conditions relating to macro-economic policies or to public finance management performance. 
Ett budgetstdprogram kan frutom sektorspecifika tgrder innehlla vissa villkor som gller makroekonomisk politik eller effektiviteten i frvaltningen av offentliga finanser.
For every action the agreement specifies further details of the action, plus the indicators, documents and other sources of information that will be used to verify whether all the actions have actually been completed. 
I verenskommelsen specificeras ytterligare detaljer fr varje tgrd samt indikatorer, dokument och andra informationskllor som kommer att anvndas fr att verifiera att alla tgrder faktiskt har slutfrts.
Disbursement of the EC funds, in two tranches, is dependent on a positive assessment of whether actions have been completed. Activities achieved Before the first tranche of 20million euro was released, in August 2005, actions undertaken and completed included the following: Ń maintained prudent macro-economic policies in order to safeguard internal and external balances according to planned 2005-2007 objectives, Ń achieved significant progress in fiscal consolidation and budget accounting, Ń introduced an electronic clearance system in Customs, Ń allowed Customs processing on a 24-hour basis, Ń published a consolidated Customs compendium of all rules and procedures, Ń opened a single window in Customs Offices to lodge complaints. 
Utbetalningen av EG-medel r uppdelad i tv delar och beroende av att tgrderna bedms vara slutfrda. Utfrda verksamheter Innan den frsta delen p 20 miljoner euro betalades ut i augusti 2005 hade bland annat fljande tgrder vidtagits och slutfrts: Ń En frsiktig makroekonomisk politik hade frts fr att trygga statsbudgeten och betalningsbalansen enligt de ml som planerats fr 2005Đ2007. Ń Betydande framsteg hade gjorts med avseende p en konsolidering av de offentliga finanserna och budgetrkenskaperna.
(1) See also Special Report No 2/2005 concerning EDF budget aid to ACP countries: the CommissionŐs management of the public reform aspect (OJ C 249, 7.10.2005). 
(1) Se ven srskild rapport nr 2/2005 om EUF:s budgetstd till AVS-lnderna: kommissionens frvaltning av omrdet Óreformen av de offentliga finansernaÓ. (EUT C 249, 7.10.2005).
The audit showed that in all three countries there had been a clear increase in the use of the budget support instrument, and the statistical data included in the mid-term evaluation also confirmed that this was the case for all MEDA countries combined (2). 
Vid granskningen konstaterades en klart kad anvndning av budgetstdinstrumentet i alla de tre lnderna, och statistikuppgifterna i halvtidsutvrderingen bekrftade ocks att s var fallet fr alla Medalnder sammantagna (2).
However, in Morocco there are also a large number of traditional projects, including a number of projects providing infrastructure and equipment, that by their very nature do not really encourage ownership, contrary to projects which are more concerned with training and institution-building. 
I Marocko finns det dock ven ett stort antal traditionella projekt, inklusive ett antal projekt som tillhandahller infrastruktur och utrustning, som genom sjlva sin natur inte riktigt uppmuntrar egenansvar, till skillnad frn projekt som r mer inriktade p utbildning och institutionsuppbyggnad.
As for the budget support operations completed so far, measures were implemented satisfactorily and disbursements were made without major delays or problems. 
Nr det gller de budgetstdtgrder som har slutfrts hittills hade tgrderna genomfrts p ett tillfredsstllande stt och utbetalningarna verkstllts utan strre frseningar eller problem.
From this one can conclude that in these cases local authorities have actually Ôassumed ownershipŐ of the reform programmes. 
Av detta kan man dra slutsatsen att de lokala myndigheterna i dessa fall faktiskt hade tagit p sig egenansvar fr reformprogrammen.
However budget support is not the only instrument for providing support. 
Budgetstd r dock inte det enda stdinstrumentet.
Policy reforms often need complementary actions, such as training or certain types of equipment, for which the traditional project approach is better suited, as is also the case when the objective is to provide targeted support for a certain population group or region, e.g. through rural development. 
Politiska reformer behver ofta kompletterande tgrder, till exempel utbildning eller vissa typer av utrustning fr vilka den traditionella projektformen r bttre lmpad, ssom ven r fallet nr mlet r att ge riktat std till en viss befolkningsgrupp eller region, till exempel genom landsbygdsutveckling.
In such a project situation ownership can also be encouraged, not only ownership by local authorities, but also by the people benefiting from aid-supported activities. 
I en sdan projektsituation kan egenansvar ocks uppmuntras, inte enbart de lokala myndigheternas egenansvar utan ven egenansvaret hos dem som drar nytta av de understdda verksamheterna.
A positive example was found during the audit in Morocco, in the case of a rural development project in the Central Atlas mountains. 
Ett positivt exempel ptrffades vid granskningen i Marocko i ett projekt fr landsbygdsutveckling i centrala Atlasbergen.
A participative approach was followed vis--vis the local population, which meant that all local partners were fully involved in the whole process of preparing and implementing the local development plans. 
Ett medverkansbaserat tillvgagngsstt tillmpades visavi lokalbefolkningen, vilket innebar att alla lokala parter var fullt involverade i hela processen med att utarbeta och genomfra de lokala utvecklingsplanerna.
It was evident that this approach was contributing to the success of the project activities (see Box 2). 
Det var uppenbart att detta tillvgagngsstt bidrog till projektverksamheternas framgng (se ruta 2).
