23.5.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities SUMMARY Programme overview I. The European Union helps third countries not only through specific programme and project assistance but also by supporting general economic transition and structural reform processes with assistance at a macroeconomic level. 
23.5.2002 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning SAMMANFATTNING Programversikt I. Europeiska unionen bistr tredje land inte endast genom srskilt program-och projektstd utan ven genom att stdja allmnna ekonomiska vergngs-och strukturreformsprocesser p makroekonomisk niv.
Such assistance is called Ômacrofinancial assistanceŐ (MFA) for third countries such as the EU accession countries, the western Balkans and the new independent States (1) and Ôstructural adjustment facilitiesŐ (SAF) (2) for the Mediterranean (MEDA) non-member countries. 
Sdant std kallas Ómakroekonomiskt stdÓ nr det utgr till tredje land ssom EU:s kandidatlnder, vstra Balkan och de nya oberoende staterna (1) och ÓstrukturanpassningsstdÓ (SAF) (2) nr det utgr till tredje land i Medelhavsomrdet.
Framework and legal basis II. 
Ramar och rttslig grund II.
MFA is mainly given as loans. 
Makroekonomiskt std ges huvudsakligen i form av ln.
It is considered to be an exceptional instrument and is managed by DG ECFIN. 
Det betraktas som ett exceptionellt instrument och frvaltas av GD Ekonomi och finans.
The legal basis for SAF actions is the 1996 MEDA Regulation. 
Den rttsliga grunden fr strukturanpassningsstd r Meda-frordningen frn 1996.
SAF are given as grants, are not considered to be an exceptional instrument and were managed by DG RELEX, until 2001, when EuropeAid took over the management of SAF (see paragraphs 1 to 5). 
Strukturanpassningsstd ges i form av bidrag, det anses inte vara ett exceptionellt instrument och det frvaltades av GD Yttre frbindelser fram till 2001 d EuropeAid tog ver frvaltningen av strukturanpassningsstdet (se punkterna 1Đ5).
Design of structural adjustment facilities III. 
Utformning av strukturanpassningsstd III.
In relation to SAF, the Commission does not document the basis for decisions on the global amount of the programme nor the timing and amount of instalments. 
Nr det gller strukturanpassningsstd dokumenterar kommissionen varken vad som ligger till grund fr beslut om ett programs totala belopp eller tidpunkt och belopp fr delbetalningarna.
Therefore, the rationale for these decisions is not clear. 
Logiken bakom dessa beslut framgr drfr inte tydligt.
In general, the amount of the support is not based on the specific cost of the associated reform programme (see paragraph 20). 
I allmnhet baseras inte stdbeloppet p den specifika kostnaden fr det berrda reformprogrammet (se punkt 20).
The programmesŐ conditions have focused on the presentation of legislation, action plans etc, which represent intentions rather than being based on results. 
Programmens villkor har varit inriktade p framlggande av lagstiftning, handlingsplaner etc., vilket ger uttryck fr avsikter snarare n faktiska resultat som skall uppns.
Generally, the Financing Agreements do not clearly indicate which conditions are shared with the Bretton Woods Institutions (BWI) (3), and which are the CommissionŐs alone. 
I allmnhet innehller inte finansieringsverenskommelserna ngra klara uppgifter om vilka villkor som r gemensamma med Bretton Woods-institutionerna (3) och vilka som r kommissionens egna.
Many of the specific conditions relate to the social sector. 
Mnga av de srskilda villkoren avser den sociala sektorn.
However, structural adjustment specialists may lack a comprehensive view of social sectors and technical experts are not systematically consulted (see paragraphs 23 to 27). 
Eventuellt saknar emellertid strukturanpassningsexperterna en heltckande bild av de sociala sektorerna och tekniska experter rdfrgas inte systematiskt (se punkterna 23Đ27).
Design of macrofinancial assistance IV. 
Utformning av makroekonomiskt std IV.
EU MFA does not always respect the five principles (4) that the Ecofin Council agreed in 1995, which should govern the policy of MFA to third countries. 
I samband med EU:s makroekonomiska std respekteras inte alltid de fem principer (4) som Ekofin-rdet enades om 1995, och som br styra policyn fr makroekonomiskt std till tredje land.
For example, the assistance is in some cases regular and continuous rather than exceptional. 
Exempelvis r stdet i vissa fall reguljrt och kontinuerligt snarare n exceptionellt.
The political preconditions (5) are not always fulfilled. So far, MFA has C 121/3 (1) These regions are receiving MFA. 
De ndvndiga politiska frutsttningarna (5) C 121/3 (1) 2 (3) (4) ( ) 5 () Dessa regioner erhller makroekonomiskt std.
In the past, Israel (1991) and Algeria (1991 and 1994) were also beneficiary countries. 
Tidigare har ven Israel (1991) och Algeriet (1991 och 1994) hrt till de stdmottagandelnderna.
(2) The EU also provides structural adjustment assistance to the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) (see para-3 graph 7). 
EU ger strukturanpassningsstd ven till lnderna i Afrika, Vstindien och Stillahavsomrdet (AVS) (se punkt 7).
(4) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. 
Internationella valutafonden (IMF) och Vrldsbanken.
C 121/4 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 23.5.2002 developed primarily as an economic instrument (see paragraphs 34 and 35). 
C 121/4 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 23.5.2002 uppfylls inte alltid. Hittills har det makroekonomiska stdet frmst utvecklats som ett ekonomiskt instrument (se punkterna 34 och 35).
The examination of complementarity between EU MFA and other EU assistance revealed problems of coordination within the Commission (see paragraphs 36 to 41). 
Vid granskningen av huruvida EU:s makroekonomiska std och annat EU-std kompletterar varandra framkom problem med samordningen inom kommissionen (se punkterna 36Đ41).
Although the principle of including conditions relating to political and economic reforms is always respected, many of these do not define clear and measurable performance criteria, and are not easily verifiable. 
Principen om att det skall inkluderas villkor avseende politiska och ekonomiska reformer respekteras alltid, men fr mnga av dessa villkor definieras inte ngra tydliga och mtbara resultatkriterier och de r inte enkelt verifierbara.
Furthermore the principle of macroeconomic conditionality has been watered down when urgent and political constraints have been taken into account for a payment decision (see paragraphs 42 to 45). 
Vidare har principen om makroekonomiskt villkorat std urvattnats nr akuta och politiska begrnsningar har beaktats infr ett beslut om betalning (se punkterna 42Đ45).
Assessment of partner governmentŐs budgetary and accounting processes V. In budgetary support operations, whether loans or grants, as the money goes directly into the partner countryŐs budgetary system and its use cannot be distinguished from the rest of the budget, it is important that the budgetary and accounting processes in the country are reliable. 
Bedmning av partnerregeringarnas budget-och redovisningsfrfaranden V. Nr det gller budgetstdtgrder, vare sig det rr sig om ln eller bidrag, r det viktigt att landets budget-och redovisningsfrfaranden r tillfrlitliga, eftersom pengarna gr direkt in i partnerlandets budgetsystem och deras anvndning inte kan urskiljas frn resten av budgeten.
The Commission has not made comprehensive specific assessments of the reliability of these processes in the countries to which it has provided support (see paragraphs 47 to 50). Monitoring VI. 
Kommissionen har inte gjort ngra heltckande srskilda bedmningar av tillfrlitligheten i dessa frfaranden i de lnder som har erhllit std (se punkterna 47Đ50). vervakning VI.
There are no job descriptions, no internal rules, and no specific tools in the Commission units responsible for monitoring setting out how to verify whether the reform policy in the beneficiary countries is satisfactory and whether the specific conditions are fulfilled. 
Inom de av kommissionens enheter som ansvarar fr vervakningen finns det inga befattningsbeskrivningar, inga interna bestmmelser och inga srskilda instrument fr att faststlla hur man skall verifiera att reformpolitiken i det stdmottagande landet r tillfredsstllande eller att de srskilda villkoren r uppfyllda.
The Commission monitors its assistance in close contact with the IMF and the World Bank, and in many cases relies largely on work carried out by these financial institutions. 
Kommissionen vervakar sitt std i nra frbindelse med Internationella valutafonden och Vrldsbanken, och i mnga fall frlitar den sig till stor del p dessa finansinstituts arbete.
In practice, the Commission does not require that all of the conditions are fulfilled in order for the country to receive a positive progress assessment and for the money to be disbursed. 
I praktiken krver inte kommissionen att alla villkor skall vara uppfyllda fr att landet skall f ett positivt omdme om att framsteg gjorts och fr att pengarna skall betalas ut.
The decision to disburse may be influenced by many other factors and the Commission should explicitly justify its decision (see paragraphs 51 to 60). 
Beslutet om att betala ut pengarna kan pverkas av mnga andra faktorer och kommissionen br uttryckligen motivera sitt beslut (se punkterna 51Đ60).
Reporting and evaluation VII. 
Rapportering och utvrdering VII.
The annual report on MFA is comprehensive, however, the explanations concerning macroeconomic performance and structural reforms do not establish links and causalities with the assistance. 
Den rliga rapporten om makroekonomiskt std r heltckande, men frklaringarna avseende den makroekonomiska utvecklingen och strukturreformerna faststller emellertid inte ngra kopplingar till eller orsakssamband med stdet.
The absence of evaluations (MFA) or their limited scope (SAF) means that the Commission has not yet fully implemented its general policy for the evaluation of Community expenditure programmes (see paragraphs 61 to 65). 
Avsaknaden av utvrderingar (makroekonomiskt std) eller deras begrnsade omfattning (strukturanpassningsstd) innebr att kommissionen nnu inte fullt ut har genomfrt sin allmnna policy fr utvrdering av gemenskapens utgiftsprogram (se punkterna 61Đ65).
Conclusions and recommendations VIII. 
Slutsatser och rekommendationer VIII.
It is recommended that (see paragraphs 66 to 78): Ń the added value of the European UnionŐs interventions in comparison to the World Bank and the IMF should be more clearly established, Ń consideration should be given to creating a more harmonised approach between, on the one hand, MFA for the EU accession countries, the western Balkans and the new independent States, and, on the other, SAF for the Mediterranean non-member countries, so that countries in similar situations are dealt with in a similar manner. 
Fljande rekommenderas (sepunkterna66Đ78): Ń Mervrdet av Europeiska unionens insatser i frhllande till Vrldsbankens och Internationella valutafondens br vara tydligare faststllt. Ń Man br vervga att infra ett frfaringsstt som r mer harmoniserat mellan  ena sidan makroekonomiskt std till EU:s kandidatlnder, vstra Balkan och de nya oberoende staterna, och  andra sidan strukturanpassningsstd till tredje land i Medelhavsomrdet, s att lnder i liknande situationer behandlas lika.
Lessons learned from experience in ACP States should also be taken into consideration, 
Det br dessutom tas hnsyn till de erfarenheter som gjorts i AVS-lnderna.
The European Union helps third countries not only through specific programme and project assistance but also by supporting general economic transition and structural reform processes with assistance at a macroeconomic level. 
Europeiska unionen bistr tredje land inte endast genom srskilt program-och projektstd utan ven genom att stdja allmnna ekonomiska vergngs-och strukturreformsprocesser p makroekonomisk niv.
Such assistance is called Ômacrofinancial assistanceŐ (MFA) for third countries such as the EU accession countries, the western Balkans and the new independent States and Ôstructural adjustment facilitiesŐ (SAF) for the Mediterranean non-member countries. 
Sdant std kallas Ómakroekonomiskt stdÓ nr det utgr till tredje land ssom EU:s kandidatlnder, vstra Balkan och de nya oberoende staterna, och ÓstrukturanpassningsstdÓ nr det utgr till tredje land i Medelhavsomrdet.
Since 1990 MFA has been extended to third countries with a view to supporting their political and economic reform efforts. 
Makroekonomiskt std beviljas sedan 1990 ven till lnder utanfr Europeiska gemenskapen i syfte att stdja dessa lnders politiska och ekonomiska reformarbete.
The Council decides MFA actions on a proposal from the Commission after consultation of its Economic and Financial Committee and of the European Parliament (see paragraph 28). 
Rdet beslutar om makroekonomiska stdinsatser p frslag frn kommissionen och efter samrd med sin Ekonomiska och finansiella kommitt och Europaparlamentet (se punkt 28).
The Commission (DG ECFIN) implements this assistance in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee of the Council. 
Kommissionen (GD Ekonomi och finans) genomfr detta std i samrd med rdets Ekonomiska och finansiella kommitt.
Since the mid-1980s, many of the south and east Mediterranean countries have carried out structural adjustment reforms in agreement with the BWI. 
Sedan mitten av 1980-talet har mnga av lnderna i sdra och stra Medelhavsomrdet genomfrt strukturanpassningsreformer enligt verenskommelser med Bretton Woods-institutionerna.
As the macroeconomic situations in most Mediterranean partner countries improved, macroeconomic stabilisation objectives have become less important and programmes concentrate more on structural reforms. 
Allteftersom den makroekonomiska situationen har frbttrats i de flesta av partnerlnderna i Medelhavsomrdet har de makroekonomiska stabiliseringsmlen frlorat i betydelse och programmen koncentreras mer p strukturreformer.
The Commission has supported these reforms through the provision of SAF. 
Kommissionen har sttt dessa reformer genom strukturanpassningsstd.
The instruments have certain similarities. 
Instrumenten har vissa likheter.
For both, the proceeds are as a rule disbursed in instalments to the central bank of the beneficiary country in order to strengthen its balance-of-payments situation or help finance the budget. 
Fr bda gller att medel i regel utbetalas som delbetalningar till centralbanken i det stdmottagande landet i syfte att strka landets betalningsbalanssitua-tion eller hjlpa till att finansiera budgeten.
The assistance is not allocated to specific categories of expenditure. 
Stdet frdelas inte till ngon specifik utgiftskategori.
There are no specific accounting requirements for the money disbursed. 
Det finns inga srskilda redovisningskrav fr de utbetalda pengarna.

In total 955 million euro has been committed to the Mediterranean countries as SAF between 1992 and 2000, of which 600 million euro under the MEDA programme between 1996 and 2000 (1) (see the tables in Annex I). 
Totalt har det gjorts taganden fr 955 miljoner euro fr strukturanpassningsstd till Medelhavslnderna mellan 1992 och 2000, varav 600 miljoner euro inom Meda-programmet mellan 1996 och 2000 (1) (se tabellerna i bilaga I).
Payments made under the MEDA programme between 1996 and 2000 amounted to 470 million euro. 
Betalningarna inom Meda-programmet uppgick mellan 1996 och 2000 till 470 miljoner euro.
Five countries benefited from these programmes: Algeria, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia and Lebanon. 
Fem lnder kom i frga fr dessa program: Algeriet, Jordanien, Marocko, Tunisien och Libanon.
Jordan and Tunisia were the largest recipients of funds as SAF under the MEDA programme. 
Jordanien och Tunisien var de strsta mottagarna av strukturanpassningsstd inom Meda-programmet.
MFA to third countries 9. 
Makroekonomiskt std till tredje land 9.
The disbursements for MFA for the years 1998, 1999 and 2000 amounted to 822 million euro, of which 704 million euro was given in the form of loans (85,6 %) and 118 million euro in the form of grants (14,4 %) (see Annex II). 
Utbetalningarna av makroekonomiskt std fr ren 1998, 1999 och 2000 uppgick till 822 miljoner euro, varav 704 miljoner euro utgavs i form av ln (85,6 %) och 118 miljoner euro i form av bidrag (14,4 %) (se bilaga II).
Nine countries/provinces benefited from these disbursements during this period: Bulgaria and Romania (EU accession countries), Bosnia and Herzegovina, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Montenegro and Kosovo (western Balkans) and Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine (new independent States). 
Nio lnder eller regioner kom i frga fr dessa utbetalningar under denna period: Bulgarien och Rumnien (kandidatlnder), Bosnien och Hercegovina, f.d. jugoslaviska republiken Makedonien, Montenegro och Kosovo (vstra Balkan) samt Armenien, Georgien och Ukraina (nya oberoende stater).
For Tajikistan, Moldavia and Albania decisions were made, but no payments were executed during 1998 to 2000. 
Fr Tadzjikistan, Moldavien och Albanien har beslut fattats men inga betalningar verkstlldes under perioden 1998Đ2000.
MFA to third countries given in the form of grants is covered by specific budget headings in the general budget of the European Union (2). 
Makroekonomiskt std till tredje land som utgr i form av bidrag tcks av srskilda budgetposter i Europeiska unionens allmnna budget (2).
In the case of loans the effect on the general budget (3) is limited to contributions to a Guarantee Fund (4). 
Nr det gller ln r konsekvenserna fr den allmnna budgeten (3) endast ett bidrag till en garantifond (4).
THE COURTŐS AUDIT 11. 
REVISIONSRTTENS GRANSKNING 11.
The main audit objectives were to assess: (a) the rationale of the design of the instruments; (1) The budget heading concerned is B7-4 1 0 MEDA (Measures to accompany the reforms to the economic and social structures in the 2 Mediterranean non-member countries). () An MFA budget heading for grants was introduced for the first time in the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 1998 (Article B7-5 3 1 ÔExceptional financial assistance to Armenia, Georgia and TajikistanŐ). 
De huvudsakliga granskningsmlen var att bedma fljande: a) Logiken bakom instrumentens utformning. (1) Den berrda budgetposten r B7Đ4 1 0 Meda (tgrder i samband med reformer av ekonomiska och sociala strukturer i tredje lnder i 2 Medelhavsomrdet). () En budgetpost fr makroekonomiskt std i form av bidrag inrttades fr frsta gngen i Europeiska unionens allmnna budget fr budgetret 1998 (artikel B7Đ 5 3 1 Exceptionellt std till Armenien, Georgien och Tadzjikistan).
The 1999 budget introduced a further Article 3 (B7-5 3 2): ÔMFA to the countries of the western Balkan regionŐ. () In the form of a p.m. entry in Chapter B0-2 1 (Guarantees for borrowing and lending operations to promote development in third 4 countries). () A Guarantee Fund for external action was established in 1994. 
I budgeten 1999 inrttades ytterligare en arti-3 kel (B7Đ5 3 2): Makroekonomiskt std till lnderna i Vstra Balkan. () I form av ett symboliskt anslag (p.m.) i kapitel B0Đ2 1 (Garantier fr 4 in-och utlning i syfte att frmja utvecklingen i tredje land). () En garantifond fr tgrder avseende tredje land upprttades 1994.
Any defaults on repayments are covered by this fund within the limit of the amount available. (b) the quality of the CommissionŐs payment approval and monitoring process; (c) whether the Commission fulfilled satisfactorily its reporting duty and made comprehensive evaluations. 12. Concerning MFA the Court reviewed all 23 disbursement operations for 1998 to 2000, including the underlying decisions (see Annex II). 
Denna fond tcker betalningsunderltelser upp till det belopp som r tillgngligt. Kvaliteten i kommissionens frfarande fr betalningsbevil-jandeochvervakning. Huruvida kommissionen fullgjorde sina rapporteringsskyldigheter p ett tillfredsstllande stt och gjorde heltckande utvrderingar. b) c) 12. ten samtliga 23 utbetalningstransaktioner fr perioden 1998Đ2000, inbegripet de underliggande besluten (se bilaga II).
Bulgaria, as the largest beneficiary country for loans, was visited. 
Besk gjordes i Bulgarien, som r det strsta mottagarlandet nr det gller ln.
The Court also visited the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo on the occasion of an audit of the European Agency of Reconstruction. 
Revisionsrtten beskte ocks FN:s vergngsfrvaltning i Kosovo i samband med en granskning av Europeiska byrn fr teruppbyggnad.
For SAF the audit work included desk reviews in Brussels of the six programmes relating to Lebanon, Jordan, and Tunisia covering the period 1996 to 2000 (5) representing a total commitment of 450 million euro (see Annex I). 
Betrffande strukturanpassningsstd omfattade granskningsarbetet granskningar i Bryssel av de sex programmen avseende Libanon, Jordanien och Tunisien, vilka avsg perioden 1996Đ2000 (5) och motsvarade taganden fr sammanlagt 450 miljoner euro (se bilaga I).
In addition, a more detailed audit, including a visit to the delegation and to representatives of the national authorities, was carried out for the programmes in Jordan and Tunisia. 
Drutver genomfrdes en mer detaljerad granskning, inbegripet ett besk till delegationen och fretrdare fr de nationella myndigheterna, avseende programmen i Jordanien och Tunisien.
DESIGN OF PROGRAMMES SAF in the Mediterranean countries Background 15. 
PROGRAMMENS UTFORMNING Strukturanpassningsstd till Medelhavslnderna Bakgrund 15.
Initially the SAF programmes were governed by the fourth Protocol (6). 
Strukturanpassningsprogrammen reglerades ursprungligen av det fjrde protokollet (6).
