We assessed whether the Commission’s preventive measures and financial corrections were effective in protecting the EU budget from irregular expenditure in the area of Cohesion. 
Vi bedmde om kommissionens frebyggande tgrder och finansiella korrigeringar var ndamlsenliga fr att skydda EU:s budget frn oriktiga utgifter p sammanhllningsomrdet.
Cohesion policy accounts for 37 % of spending from the EU budget and is to be some 350 billion euro for each of the periods 2007-2013 and 2014-2020. 
Sammanhllningspolitiken svarar fr 37 % av utgifterna frn EU:s budget och kommer att uppg till omkring 350 miljarder euro fr var och en av perioderna 2007Đ2013 och 2014Đ2020.
Responsibility for Cohesion spending is shared between the Commission and the Member States. Overall, we find the Commission has made effective use of the measures at its disposal. The Commission needs to remain vigilant in ensuring payments are free from error, improving its reporting procedures and making use of its new, stronger powers. 
Kommissionen och medlemsstaterna har delat ansvar fr sammanhllningsutgifterna. verlag finner vi att kommissionen har anvnt de tgrder den har till sitt frfogande p ett ndamlsenligt stt. Kommissionen mste fortstta att vara vaksam och se till att utbetalningar inte innehller fel, frbttra sina rapporteringsfrfaranden och anvnda sina nya, strre befogenheter.

Audit team 02 The ECA’s special reports set out the results of its performance and compliance audits of specific budgetary areas or management topics. 
Granskningsteam I vra srskilda rapporter redovisar vi resultatet av vra effektivitets-och regelefterlevnadsrevisioner av srskilda budgetomrden eller frvaltningsteman.
The ECA selects and designs these audit tasks to be of maximum impact by considering the risks to performance or compliance, the level of income or spending involved, forthcoming developments and political and public interest. This performance audit was produced by Audit Chamber II of the ECA which specialises in investment for cohesion, growth and inclusion spending areas.

Executive summary 07 About the Youth Guarantee IYouth unemployment is not a new phenomenon and several EU Member States have experienced extremely high levels for many years. 
SAMMANFATTNING Om ungdomsgarantin I. Ungdomsarbetslshet r inget nytt fenomen, och flera EU-medlemsstater har haft extremt hga niver under flera r.
The 2008 economic crisis made it even more difficult for young people to integrate the labour market. 
Den ekonomiska krisen 2008 har gjort det nnu svrare fr ungdomar att komma in p arbetsmarknaden. ven om situationen har frbttrats var ver 4,2 miljoner mnniskor under 25 r fortfarande arbetslsa i EU i slutet av juni 2016.
II One of the most significant EU initiatives to address this issue is the Youth Guarantee, under which Member States should ensure that all young people under 25 receive a good quality offer of employment, continued education, apprenticeship or traineeship within four months of leaving school or becoming unemployed. 
II. Ett av de viktigaste EU-initiativen fr att hantera den hr frgan r ungdomsgarantin som anger att medlemsstaterna ska se till att alla ungdomar under 25 r fr ett hgkvalitativt erbjudande om anstllning, fortsatt utbildning, lrlingsplats eller praktikplats inom fyra mnader efter att de slutat skolan eller blivit arbetslsa.
III In addition, the European Council agreed to establish the Youth Employment Initiative with an approved budget of 6.4 billion euro (3.2 billion from a specific new EU budget line to be matched by 3.2 billion euro from ESF national allocations) to increase the EU financial support available to regions and individuals that were struggling the most with youth unemployment and inactivity. 
III. Dessutom kom Europeiska rdet verens om att inrtta sysselsttningsinitiativet fr unga med en godknd budget p 6,4 miljarder euro (3,2 miljarder frn en srskild ny post i EU-budgeten som ska kompletteras med 3,2 miljarder euro i nationella ESF-anslag) fr att ka EU-stdet till de regioner och enskilda som drabbats mest av ungdomsarbetslshet och sysslolshet.
How we conducted our audit IV We assessed whether the Youth Guarantee was delivering results in the Member States and whether the Youth Employment Initiative was contributing towards them. 
S gjorde vi revisionen IV. Vi bedmde om ungdomsgarantin gav resultat i medlemsstaterna och om sysselsttningsinitiativet fr unga bidrog till det.
In particular, we examined whether Member States had made progress in implementing the Youth Guarantee, appropriately addressed the factors which might impact its implementation and whether they implemented the Youth Employment Initiative in such a way as to contribute to the achievement of the Youth Guarantee objectives. 
Vi tittade srskilt p om medlemsstaterna hade gjort framsteg i genomfrandet av ungdomsgarantin, p lmpligt stt hanterade faktorer som kan pverka genomfrandet och om de genomfrde sysselsttningsinitiativet fr unga s att det bidrog till att ungdomsgarantins ml uppfylldes.
VTo assess progress with the implementation of the Youth Guarantee, we visited the following seven Member States: Ireland, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Portugal and Slovakia. 
V. Fr att bedma framstegen i genomfrandet av ungdomsgarantin beskte vi fljande sju medlemsstater: Irland, Spanien, Frankrike, Kroatien, Italien, Portugal och Slovakien.
To evaluate the contribution provided by the Youth Employment Initiative, we visited the same Member States except for Ireland and Slovakia. 
Fr utvrderingen av ungdomssysselsttningsinitiativets bidrag beskte vi samma medlemsstater, frutom Irland och Slovakien.
Our audit covered the period between the official launch of the Youth Guarantee in April 2013 and May 2016. 
Vr revision gllde perioden frn den officiella lanseringen av ungdomsgarantin i april 2013 till maj 2016. 6
Executive summary 08 What we found VI While the seven Member States visited had made progress in implementing the Youth Guarantee and some results had been achieved, the current situation - more than three years after the adoption of the Council Recommendation - falls short of the initial expectations raised at the launch of the Youth Guarantee, which aims to provide a good quality offer to all NEETS within four months. 
Detta konstaterade vi VI. ven om de sju beskta medlemsstaterna hade gjort framsteg i genomfrandet av ungdomsgarantin och ngra resultat hade uppntts motsvarar inte den nuvarande situationen, mer n tre r efter det att rdets rekommendation antogs, de ursprungliga frvntningarna vid lanseringen av ungdomsgarantin vars ml r att ge alla unga som varken arbetar eller studerar (NEET) ett hgkvalitativt erbjudande inom fyra mnader.
VII None of the Member States visited has yet ensured that all NEETs had the opportunity to take up an offer within four months, helping them to integrate into the labour market in a sustainable way. 
VII. Ingen av de beskta medlemsstaterna hade nnu sett till att alla NEET fick mjlighet att inom fyra mnader anta ett erbjudande som hjlpte dem att varaktigt integrera sig p arbetsmarknaden.
One important contributing factor is that it is not possible to address the whole NEET population with the resources available from the EU budget alone. 
En viktig bidragande faktor r att det inte gr att hantera hela NEET-populationen enbart med medel frn EU-budgeten. VIII.
VIII In addition, we conclude that the contribution of the Youth Employment Initiative to the achievement of the Youth Guarantee objectives in the five Member States visited was very limited at the time of the audit. 
Vi drog vidare slutsatsen att ungdomssysselsttningsinitiativet endast i mycket begrnsad utstrckning bidragit till uppnendet av ungdomsgarantins ml i de fem beskta medlemsstaterna nr revisionen gjordes.
XThe Member States should: ο establish appropriate outreach strategies to identify the entire NEET population with the objective of registering them; ο establish a complete overview of the cost of implementing the Youth Guarantee for the entire NEET population and prioritise the related measures to be implemented according to available financing; ο ensure that offers are only considered to be of good quality if they match the participant’s profile and labour market demand and lead to sustainable integration in the labour market; ο improve their monitoring and reporting systems in order to regularly provide quality data to facilitate the development of more evidence-based youth policies, in particular, the capacity to follow-up the participants that exit the Youth Guarantee in order to reduce the number of unknown exits to the extent possible. 
Ľ se till att erbjudanden bara anses vara hgkvalitativa nr de verensstmmer med deltagarens profil och efterfrgan p arbetsmarknaden och leder till varaktig integration p arbetsmarknaden, Ľ frbttra sina vervaknings-och rapporteringssystem s att de regelbundet tillhandahller uppgifter av god kvalitet som gr det lttare att ta fram en mer faktabaserad ungdomspolitik, i synnerhet kapaciteten att flja upp deltagare som lmnar ungdomsgarantin fr att s mycket som mjligt minska antalet oknda uttrden.
Executive summary 09 XI The Commission should: ο together with EMCO, develop and propose standards for quality criteria for offers to be made under the Youth Guarantee; ο identify and diffuse good practice in monitoring and reporting based on its overview of the existing systems across Member States; ο ensure through its approval process for OP amendments that Member States perform a global assessment of the characteristics of the NEET population in order to ensure that the YEI measures included in the OPs will adequately address the needs of young persons; ο revise its guidance on data collection to minimise the risk of overstatement of results. 
Kommissionen br Ľ tillsammans med sysselsttningskommittn ta fram och fresl kvalitetsnormer fr erbjudanden som ska lmnas inom ungdomsgarantin, Ľ identifiera och sprida god praxis nr det gller vervakning och rapportering utifrn sin genomgng av medlemsstaternas befintliga system, Ľ genom sin process fr godknnande av ndringar av operativa program se till att medlemsstaterna gr en heltckande bedmning av vad som utmrker NEET-populationen fr att se till att tgrderna inom sysselsttningsinitiativet fr unga i de operativa programmen p ett lmpligt stt tillgodoser ungdomarnas behov, Ľ se ver sin vgledning om uppgiftsinsamling fr att minimera risken fr att resultat verskattas.
Member States should revise their baselines and targets accordingly. 
Medlemsstaterna br se ver sina utgngsvrden och ml i enlighet med den omarbetade vgledningen. 8
Introduction 10 Youth unemployment in the European Union 01 Youth unemployment is not a new phenomenon and several EU Member States have experienced extremely high levels for many years. 
INLEDNING Ungdomsarbetslshet i Europeiska unionen 1. Ungdomsarbetslshet r inget nytt fenomen, och flera EU-medlemsstater har haft extremt hga niver under flera r.
The 2008 economic crisis has made it even more difficult for young people to integrate into the labour market. 
Den ekonomiska krisen 2008 har gjort det nnu svrare fr ungdomar att komma in p arbetsmarknaden.
This situation is illustrated by the fact that the unemployment rate for young people (aged 15-24) increased by 8.8 percentage points between the first quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2013, when it reached its highest level, at 23.9 %. 
Det framgr av att arbetslsheten fr ungdomar (mellan 15 och 24 r) kade med 8,8 procentenheter mellan frsta kvartalet 2008 och frsta kvartalet 2013, nr den ndde sin hgsta niv p 23,9 %.
02 During the same period, the unemployment rate for the older active population (aged 25-74) increased less (by 3.7 percentage points, from 5.8 % to 9.5 %). 
2. Under samma period kade arbetslsheten fr den ldre aktiva befolkningen (25Đ74 r) mindre (med 3,7 procentenheter, frn 5,8 till 9,5 %).
This is less than half the increase observed for the 15-24 age group (see Figure 1). 
Det r mindre n hlften av kningen fr ldersgruppen 15Đ24 r (se figur 1).

Introduction 11 03 While the situation had improved since mid-2013, more than 4.2 million young people under the age of 25 in the EU were still unemployed at the end of June 2016 (average unemployment rate of 18.8 %). 
3. ven om situationen har frbttrats sedan mitten av 2013 var ver 4,2 miljoner ungdomar under 25 r fortfarande arbetslsa i EU i slutet av juni 2016 (genomsnittlig 2008 Đ Frsta kvartalet 2008 Đ Frsta kvartalet 2008 Đ Frsta kvartalet

Introduction 12 04 Besides the financial consequences borne directly by young people, long periods of unemployment also have a negative effect in terms of future employability, increased risk of poverty, social exclusion and their role in society as a whole. 
4. Frutom de ekonomiska konsekvenser som ungdomarna sjlva fr bra har lnga arbetslshetsperioder ven negativa effekter som handlar om framtida anstllbarhet, hgre risk fr fattigdom, social utestngning och dessa ungdomars roll i samhllet.
In addition, there is a risk that talent and skills are not used optimally. 
Det finns dessutom en risk fr att talanger och frdigheter inte anvnds optimalt.
05 Moreover, high youth unemployment has a negative effect on economic growth and productivity and represents a serious economic burden for society as a whole. 
Vidare inverkar en hg ungdomsarbetslshet negativt p den ekonomiska tillvxten och produktiviteten, och den r en tung ekonomisk brda fr hela samhllet.
For example, a large number of university graduates are unable to find jobs and therefore cannot contribute to economic growth through their skills and knowledge. 
Till exempel lyckas mnga universitetsutbildade inte f arbete och kan drfr inte bidra med sina frdigheter och sin kunskap till den ekonomiska tillvxten.
Young people with few or no qualifications may struggle to enter the labour market and may be ‘locked out’ of work or increasingly find themselves stuck in a cycle of low pay with little opportunity for progression. 
Ungdomar med f eller inga kvalifikationer kan ha svrt att komma in p arbetsmarknaden och bli "utestngda" frn arbete eller allt mer fastna i en situation med lg ln och f utvecklingsmjligheter.
NEETs: young people not in employment, education or training 06 In addition to the group of young people who are unemployed (i.e. available to start work and actively seeking employment), there is another large group of young people who are less motivated to be proactive and are, therefore, further detached from the labour market. 
NEET: unga som varken arbetar eller studerar 6. I gruppen arbetslsa ungdomar (dvs. som kan brja arbeta och aktivt sker jobb) finns det dessutom en stor grupp unga som r mindre motiverade att agera proaktivt och drfr str nnu lngre frn arbetsmarknaden.
These are inactive young people who are neither in education nor training and are referred to as inactive NEETs. 
Det r inaktiva ungdomar som varken arbetar eller studerar och drfr kallas fr inaktiva NEET.
Taken together, the two groups (‘unemployed’ and ‘inactive’ NEETs) aged between 15 and 24 and, in some Member States up to 29, form a distinct population called ‘NEETs’. While the most commonly used indicator is the youth unemployment rate, it does not provide as complete a picture as the NEET rate. 
Tillsammans bildar de tv grupperna ("arbetslsa" och "inaktiva") mellan 15 och 24 r, i ngra medlemsstater upp till 29 r, en specifik population som benmns "NEET". ven om ungdomsarbetslsheten r den indikator som anvnds mest ger den inte en lika fullstndig bild som NEET-andelen.
It should be noted that the NEET rate is lower than the youth unemployment rate (see Figure 3). 
Det br noteras att NEET-andelen r lgre n ungdomsarbetslsheten (se figur 3).
07 Active youth population The NEETs are the reference population used for the Youth Guarantee. 
7. Populationen NEET anvnds som referens fr ungdomsgarantin.
Therefore, for the purpose of this report, we will also use the concept of NEETs instead of that of youth unemployment. 
I den hr rapporten anvnder vi drfr ocks begreppet NEET i stllet fr begreppet ungdomsarbetslshet.
08 The percentage of NEETs aged 15-24 increased after 2007, peaked in 2012 mainly due to the increase in the number of unemployed NEETs, and has fallen slightly since then (see Figure 4). Figure 3 
Procentandelen NEET mellan 15 och 24 r kade efter 2007 och ndde sin hgsta niv 2012 , frmst p grund av att antalet arbetslsa NEET kade, och har drefter minskat ngot (se figur 4). 11
