As regards the Community value added, the national evaluation reports have contributed some relevant results (6), although some of the specified questions have not been dealt with in some national reports. 
Nr det gller det mervrde gemenskapsstdet har tillfrt har de nationella utvrderingsrapporterna bidragit med ngra relevanta resultat (6), ven om vissa av de specificerade frgorna inte har tagits upp i vissa nationella rapporter.
The financial implication of policy choices has rarely been addressed in detail. 
De ekonomiska fljderna av policyvalen har sllan underskts i detalj.
The Synthesis Report includes a calculation of unit costs concerning some measures but this is based on unsatisfactory data, Where cost issues have been addressed, they would seem to highlight potentially serious findings that merit further analysis. 
I den sammanfattande rapporten finns en berkning av enhetskostnader fr ngra tgrder men den bygger p otillfredsstllande uppgifter. Dr kostnadsfrgor har tagits upp verkar det som om detta framhver potentiellt viktiga resultat som behver analyseras vidare.
For example, for Spain, it is claimed that ÔThis roughly doubling of resources due to the ESF has led, according to some experts, to a substantial amount of wasteful spending. 
Till exempel nr det gller Spanien hvdas det att frdubblingen av resurser p grund av ESF, enligt vissa experter, har lett till att ett betydande belopp spenderats p ett slsaktigt stt.
The larger source of funds has been used to expand operations and not so much to introduce new measures.Ő Similarly for Italy, it is claimed that there have been relevant transaction costs associated with the ESF, referring to implementation issues and the costs associated with partnership building and new management practices (7). 
De kade medlen har anvnts fr att utvidga insatserna och inte s mycket fr att infra nya tgrder. P liknande stt hvdas fr Italien att det har frekommit avsevrda transaktionskostnader frknippade med ESF, vilka avser genomfrandet samt kostnader fr partnerskapsuppbyggnad och nya frvaltningsstt (7).
Adequacy of the framework for evaluation 103. 
Utvrderingsramens lmplighet 103.
The following main evaluation topics were specified in the ToR: the principal characteristics and the accomplishments of the 1994 to 1999 programming; the impact of the ESF vis--vis national policies and the effectiveness and impact of ESF operations on individuals and on systems. 
Fljande viktiga frgor specificerades i uppdragsbeskriv-ningen: de viktigaste karakteristiska dragen och resultaten fr programplaneringen 1994Đ1999, effekten av ESF i frhllande till nationell politik, och ESF:s ndamlsenlighet och effekt fr enskilda mnniskor och fr system.
(4) One such example was quoted in the case of Germany.

A methods report was compiled by the Commission and published a year later to provide a critical review of the methodologies adopted for the assessment of results and of their impacts on individuals and systems. 
En metodrapport sammanstlldes av kommissionen och offentliggjordes ett r senare fr att tillhandahlla en kritisk granskning av de metoder som antagits fr bedmningen av resultat och av deras effekt p enskilda mnniskor och system.
This report was intended to prepare the ground for future evaluations but it is questionable if this objective has been effectively achieved. 
Denna rapport var avsedd att bereda vgen fr framtida utvrderingar men det kan ifrgasttas om detta ml har uppntts p ett ndamlsenligt stt.
As concerns the evaluation of the impact on systems, it does propose a model for the classification of ESF expenditures and of their anticipated associated impacts (capacity, capability and responsiveness) (1) though some issues remain to be addressed (see page 35 of the report). 
Nr det gller utvrderingen av effekten p system freslr den en modell fr klassificeringen av ESF-utgifter och av de frvntade dithrande effekterna (kapacitet, frmga och anpassbarhet) (1) ven om vissa frgor terstr att tas upp (se s. 35 i rapporten).
In the Methods Report, within the context of the ÔMeth-ods for policy and strategic evaluation in the ESF fieldŐ (2), no concrete recommendations have been presented as regards policy analysis, with the report merely referring to MEANS. 
Inga konkreta rekommendationer nr det gller policyanalys presenterades i metodrapportens avsnitt om metoder fr policy och strategisk utvrdering p ESF-omrdet (2), utan rapporten hnvisar endast till Means.
Similarly, there was no reference to the approach to be followed for the selection of appropriate indicators at different strategic levels. 
Det stod heller ingenting om hur man skall g till vga fr att vlja lmpliga indikatorer p olika strategiska niver.
It should be remarked that the relevant elements for some evaluation tasks are not always clearly specified in the ToR. 
Det skall ppekas att de viktigaste inslagen i vissa utvrderingsuppgifter inte alltid specificeras i uppdragsbeskrivningen.
For example: the description of the tasks as concerns effectiveness is rather abstract, especially with regard to the underlying concepts, the selection of mechanisms for impact measurement and the evaluation techniques to be used. 
Till exempel r beskrivningen av uppgifterna ganska abstrakt i frga om ndamlsenlighet, srskilt nr det gller de underliggande koncepten, valet av mekanismer fr mtning av effekt och valet av utvrderingstekniker.
In particular, no concrete indication has been given as regards the methods of gener-alising, at the EU level, the direct impact on individuals from the results of the activities in the different Member States. 
Framfr allt har det inte getts ngra konkreta indikationer i frga om metoder fr att dra allmnna slutsatser p EU-niv om den direkta effekten p enskilda mnniskor av resultaten av insatserna i de olika medlemsstaterna.
The formulation of the tasks has not given due regard to the possible mismatch between quantitative objectives and the data available. 
Vid formuleringen av uppgifterna har man inte tagit vederbrlig hnsyn till eventuella motsttningar mellan kvantitativa ml och tillgngliga uppgifter.
Furthermore, no concrete action has been foreseen to evaluate the impact on individuals when the indicators are not concretely established, or when specific statistical evaluations have not been carried out recently. 
Dessutom har inga konkreta tgrder planerats fr att utvrdera effekten p enskilda mnniskor nr indikatorerna inte r konkret faststllda, eller nr srskilda statistiska utvrderingar inte har utfrts nyligen.
The other methodological documents, compiled subsequent to the ToR, do not contain the desired explanations either. 
De vriga metoddokumen-ten, sammanstllda efter uppdragsbeskrivningen, innehller inte heller de nskade frklaringarna.
107. Changes in programming have not always been adequately examined. 
107. ndringar i programplaneringen har inte alltid underskts p ett tillfredsstllande stt.
For example, this subject was not addressed in the studies concerning Northern Ireland, Merseyside and Spain. Even where changes in programming have been indicated, their treatment is far from being optimal. 
Till exempel togs denna frga inte upp i studierna om Nordirland, Merseyside och Spanien. ven dr ndringar i programplaneringen har konstaterats har hanteringen av dem varit lngt ifrn optimal.
In some cases the evaluator has not provided a clear assessment of the relevant changes and of their appropriateness (3). 
I ngra fall har utvrderaren inte gjort en klar bedmning av ndringarna och deras lmplighet (3).
The Commission did not carry out a pre-evaluation survey or reconnaissance exercise and this has made it more difficult for it to anticipate the problems that have been encountered by the evaluators. 
Kommissionen utfrde inte ngon underskning eller rekognoscering fre utvrderingen vilket gjorde det svrare fr generaldirektoratet att fregripa de problem som utvrderarna ptrffade.
There is no clear evidence that the steering group was sufficiently aware of the lack of data available to the national (1) Methods Report, p. 
Det finns inga tydliga bevis p att styrgruppen var tillrckligt medveten om att utvrderarna inte hade tillrcklig (1) Metodrapport, s. 24Đ40.

No remedial action was taken by the steering group to address this issue. 
Styrgruppen vidtog inga korrigerande tgrder fr att ta itu med detta.
As was the case for the Objective 1 evaluation, the CommissionŐs oversight of the evaluation process needs to be improved (see paragraph 75). 
Liksom med utvrderingen av ml 1 behver kommissionens tillsyn ver utvrderingsprocessen frbttras (se punkt 75).
Recommendations concluding the evaluation 111. 
Utvrderingarnas avslutande rekommendationer 111.
For most Member States, the recommendations derived from the 1994 to 1999 ex post assessment have mainly dealt with the management systems and procedures. 
Fr de flesta medlemsstater har de rekommendationer som togs fram efter efterhandsutvrderingen av perioden 1994Đ1999 frmst handlat om frvaltningssystem och frvaltningsstrukturer.
They relate to a variety of issues and are generally well adapted to the specific situations. 
De avser flera olika frgor och r i allmnhet vl avpassade fr de specifika situationerna.
Fewer recommendations for 2000 to 2006 have concerned the content of the co-financed policies. 
Frre rekommendationer fr 2000Đ2006 har gllt innehllet i den samfinansierade politiken.
Where such recommendations have been made, they appear to be of relevance (4). 
Dr sdana rekommendationer har gjorts verkar de vara relevanta (4).
The Synthesis Report brought up a list of strengths and weaknesses for each Objective (5) and main recommendations for the 2000 to 2006 period and post 2006 (6). 
Den sammanfattande rapporten tog upp en frteckning ver starka och svaga sidor fr varje ml (5) och huvudsakliga rekommendationer fr perioden 2000Đ2006 och efter 2006 (6).
These statements are rather general although they do appear to be valid in certain cases, e.g. in highlighting potential differencies between EU-15 and EU-10 and in the policy response to territorial differencies. 
Dessa iakttagelser r ganska allmnna ven om de verkar vara giltiga i vissa fall, till exempel nr det gller att lyfta fram potentiella skillnader mellan EU-15 och EU-10 och nr det gller det politiska svaret p skillnader mellan olika territorier.
CONCLUSIONS 114. 
SLUTSATSER 114.
The evaluation process is of critical importance in terms of providing information and judgements about the appropriateness, relevance, economy, efficiency, effectiveness and the impacts of EU interventions. 
Utvrderingsprocessen r av yttersta vikt nr det gller information och bedmningar om EU-stdtgrdernas lmplighet, relevans, ekonomi, effektivitet, ndamlsenlighet och effekt.
By doing so, it can support the decision-making process for setting political priorities and allocating resources. 
Drmed kan utvrderingsprocessen vara till std fr beslutsfat-tandeprocessen i frga om att faststlla politiska prioriteringar och ansl resurser.
In order for the process to be successful, however, there are certain prerequisites to be respected, namely, clear objectives for policies and programmes, and performance indicators which are produced on a regular basis and which are complete, reliable and relative to the objectives set. 
Fr att processen skall vara lyckad mste dock vissa villkor respekteras, nmligen tydliga ml fr politik och program samt resultatindikatorer som tas fram regelbundet och som r kompletta, tillfrlitliga och gller de faststllda mlen.
In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the resources available to carry out the process are adequate for the purpose, both in terms of time and technical competencies. 
Dessutom r det ndvndigt att se till att de resurser som avstts fr att genomfra processen r tillrckliga, bde i frga om tid och teknisk kompetens.
(4) Examples are: the need for a stronger link between the planned objectives and the local socio-economic context (Italy); a better targeting of beneficiaries (France); the expansion of integrated intervention approaches (United Kingdom); to widen the scope of the programmes to more innovative and risky actions (Spain); to strengthen anticipation actions in the training domain (Spain); to pay more attention to the less-favoured regions by putting more weight on variables such as unemployment, long term unemployment and social exclusion (Spain). 
(4) Till exempel: behovet av en starkare koppling mellan de planerade mlen och den lokala socioekonomiska kontexten (Italien), en bttre inringning av stdmottagare (Frankrike), utkning av arbetssttet med integrerade stdtgrder (Frenade kungariket), utvidgning av programmets omfattning till mer innovativa och riskfyllda verksamheter (Spanien), frstrkning av fregripande insatser p yrkesutbildningsomrdet (Spanien), kad uppmrksamhet t de minst gynnade regionerna genom att man fster strre vikt vid variabler som arbetslshet, lngtidsarbetslshet och social uteslutning (Spanien).

The CourtŐs audit of the ex post evaluations under review identified a number of significant shortcomings in the overall approach adopted and in the quality of the assessments made: (a) Objectives set during the 1994 to 1999 programming period lacked clarity and coherence. (b) While there were few performance indicators available, few measures were taken to overcome this deficiency by, for example, collecting additional quantitative data. (c) As a result, an appropriate balance between quantitative and qualitative analysis was not always achieved. (d) This situation resulted in conclusions being drawn which were not supported by adequate analysis. (e) At the same time, a number of themes which merited being treated in an ex post evaluation, such as deadweight, convergence and the proposed themes per Member State, were not always dealt with in the evaluation. 
Vid revisionsrttens granskning av efterhandsutvrderingarna ptrffades ett antal vsentliga brister i det vergripande arbetsstt som antagits och i kvaliteten p de bedmningar som gjorts. a) Ml som faststllts under programperioden 1994Đ1999 var inte tydliga och enhetliga. b) Det fanns f resultatindikatorer tillgngliga och f tgrder hade vidtagits fr att rtta till denna brist genom att till exempel samla in ytterligare kvantitativa uppgifter. c) Som ett resultat uppnddes inte alltid en tillrcklig balans mellan kvantitativ och kvalitativ analys. d) Denna situation ledde till att slutsatser drogs som inte stddes av adekvat analys. e) Samtidigt var det flera teman som hade frtjnat att tas upp i en efterhandsutvrdering som inte behandlades i utvrderingen, till exempel ddviktseffekter, konvergens och de teman som varje medlemsstat hade freslagit.
The specific macroeconomic model used (HERMIN) did not permit the necessary adjustments to take account of the specificities of the economies being evaluated (such as the existence of an important tourism sector). 
Med den specifika makroekonomiska modell som anvndes (Hermin) kunde man inte gra de justeringar som var ndvndiga fr att ta hnsyn till de utmrkande dragen i de ekonomier som utvrderades (till exempel att det finns en betydande turistsektor).
In addition, there were critical limitations in the estimation of certain key variables (such as was the choice of proxy data taken from studies of the US economy to calculate external elasticities in lieu of actual data for the relevant European regions, which were not available). 
Dessutom fanns det allvarliga begrnsningar i uppskattningen av vissa nyckelvariabler (till exempel valet av uppgifter frn studier av USA:s ekonomi fr att berkna externa elasticiteter istllet fr faktiska uppgifter fr de relevanta EU-regionerna, vilka inte fanns tillgngliga).
As regards the Objective 3 evaluation, it was in part based on unreliable or incomplete data while there were significant mismatches between the data provided and the commentary thereon. 
Nr det gller utvrderingen av ml 3 grundades den delvis p otillfrlitliga eller ofullstndiga uppgifter och det fanns en betydande brist p verensstmmelse mellan de uppgifter som presenterades och kommentarerna om dem.
Furthermore, there was a lack of convincing support for some of the hypotheses advanced thereby shedding doubts on the methodology employed to reach them. 
Vidare fanns det brist p vertygande std fr vissa av de hypoteser som frts fram, vilket kastar tvivel ver de metoder som anvnts fr att n fram till dem.
Many of the shortcomings of the evaluations can be traced to the circumstances in which they were carried out, notably the limited information available and the tight time constraints set. 
Mnga av bristerna i utvrderingarna kan spras till de omstndigheter under vilka de utfrdes, i synnerhet begrnsningen p tillgnglig information och de snva tidsgrnserna.
It should have been possible to anticipate these constraints and the evaluation exercise should either have been given the necessary resources or the scale of the exercise should have been limited to what was more feasible. 
Det borde ha varit mjligt att fregripa dessa begrnsningar och antingen tilldela utvrderingsarbetet ndvndiga resurser eller begrnsa storleken p arbetet till en mer genomfrbar skala.
The ex post evaluations have still provided some worthwhile insights, notably into the management systems underlying the implementation of SFs. 
Efterhandsutvrderingarna har nd gett ngra meningsfulla insikter, i synnerhet om de frvaltningsysstem som ligger till grund fr genomfrandet av strukturfonderna.
However, the Commission encountered serious difficulties in delivering the desired in-depth analysis of the effectiveness, efficiency and impact of the funds, largely due to limitations in the approach adopted and restrictions in the availability of data. 
Kommissionen hade dock stora svrigheter med att leverera den nskade djupgende analysen av fondernas ndamlsenlighet, effektivitet och effekt, till stor del beroende p begrnsningar i det valda angreppssttet och begrnsningar i tillgngen p uppgifter.
These problems were compounded by certain weaknesses in the CommisionŐs oversight of the process. 
Dessa problem frvrrades dessutom av vissa brister i kommissionens tillsyn ver processen.
Consequently, while some worthwile and useful recommendations were made as input for future programming periods, the Commission could not benefit fully from the experiences of the 1994 to 1999 programming. 
Fljaktligen kunde kommissionen inte dra full nytta av erfarenheterna frn programplaneringen av perioden 1994Đ1999, ven om vissa vrdefulla och anvndbara rekommendationer gavs infr framtida programperioder.
RECOMMENDATIONS 119. 
REKOMMENDATIONER 119.
A reappraisal of the scope, procedures and approach used in ex post assessments needs to be done with some urgency, before the next batch of contracts for ex post evaluations are issued at the end of the current programming period 2000 to 2006. 
Efterhandsutvrderingarnas omfattning, frfaranden och tillvgagngsstt behver ses ver inom en snar framtid, innan nsta omgng kontrakt som skall efterhandsutvrderas upprttas i slutet av den nuvarande programperioden 2000Đ2006.
To improve the evaluation process, better quality control procedures need to be introduced and effectively applied by the Commission so that the problems encountered in the evaluations under review do not recur in future ex post assessments. 
Fr att frbttra utvrderingsprocessen behver kommissionen infra bttre kvalitetskontrollfrfaranden och tillmpa dem p ett ndamlsenligt stt s att de problem som man har sttt p under de granskade utvrderingarna inte upprepas vid framtida efterhandsutvrderingar.
Such procedures should ensure: (a) that relevant and reliable data is collected regularly and is available at each stage of the evaluation process; (b) that terms of reference are adequate and provide for the application of appropriate methodologies by the contractors; (c) that adequate resources and time are allocated to the evaluation processes; 
Dessa frfaranden br garantera a) att relevanta och tillfrlitliga uppgifter samlas in regelbundet och finns tillgngliga p varje utvrderingsprocessen, stadium av b) att uppdragsbeskrivningen r adekvat och gr det mjligt fr avtalsparterna att tillmpa lmpliga metoder, c) att tillrckliga resurser och tillrcklig tid ansls fr utvrderingsprocessen,
C 302/24 EN Official Journal of the European Union 12.12.2006 (d) that there is appropriate monitoring and supervision by the Commission so as to ensure the overall quality of the process. 
C 302/24 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 12.12.2006 d) att kommissionen utfr korrekt vervakning och uppfljning fr att skerstlla den vergripande kvaliteten p processen.
Secondly, particular attention needs to be reserved to the choice of appropriate techniques for assessing and measuring the economic impact. 
Fr det andra behver man gna srskild uppmrksamhet t valet av lmpliga tekniker fr bedmning och mtning av den ekonomiska effekten.
If a macroeconomic modelling approach is used to analyse the impact of the structural funds, it must be adapted to take due account of the characteristics of the economies under review. 
Om man anvnder en makroekonomisk modell fr att analysera effekten av strukturfonderna mste den anpassas fr att ta vederbrlig hnsyn till srdragen i de granskade ekonomierna.
This consideration is particularly relevant in the situation where the evaluation will need to be extended to cover the 10 new Member States. 
Detta r relevant i synnerhet nr utvrderingen behver utvidgas till att omfatta de tio nya medlemsstaterna.
In this light, the Court considers that there should be a re-appraisal of the appropriateness of an aggregate macroeconomic modelling approach (e.g. such as one based on the HERMIN model). 
I ljuset av detta anser revisionsrtten att det br gras en omprvning av det lmpliga med ett arbetsstt som baseras p en makroekonomisk modell p aggreggerad niv (till exempel Hermin-modellen).
