The report does contain concrete recommendations in this respect, which the Commission is discussing with the Government of India. 
Rapporten innehller konkreta rekommendationer p detta omrde, och kommissionen hller fr nrvarande p att diskutera dessa med Indiens regering.
The Commission agrees with the CourtŐs recommendation which is being implemented both under the Guide to the programming and implementation of budget support for third countries adopted in March 2002 and the Guidelines for European Commission Support to Sector Programmes adopted in February 2003. 
Kommissionen instmmer i revisionsrttens rekommendation. som hller p att genomfras bde enligt den handledning fr programplanering och genomfrande av budgetstd till tredjelnder som antogs i mars 2002 och de riktlinjer fr Europeiska kommissionens std till sektorprogram som antogs i februari 2003.
Inadequate health and education facilities are key aspects of rural poverty and it is now generally agreed by all donors in India that by strengthening these two sectors a maximum impact on poverty reduction can be achieved. 
Otillrckliga hlso-och sjukvrdsinrttningar samt utbildningsinrttningar r en viktig aspekt av fattigdomen p landsbygden, och alla givare i Indien r nu eniga om att strsta mjliga effekt vid fattigdomsminskningen kan uppns genom att dessa bda sektorer strks.
By selecting these two sectors as priority areas of its new strategy (which received strong support from the EU Member States), the Commission aims to achieve maximum impact without diluting its efforts in too many different sectors or approaches. 
Genom att prioritera dessa bda sektorer i sin nya strategi (som erhllit ett starkt std frn EU:s medlemsstater) vill kommissionen uppn strsta mjliga effekt utan att anstrngningarna sprids ut p alltfr mnga olika sektorer och

As pointed out in the reply to paragraph 60, the Commission considers that there are strong reasons for concentrating its resources on the health and education sectors. 
Som ppekats i svaret p punkt 60 anser kommissionen att det finns starka skl fr att rikta in sina resurser p hlso-och sjukvrdssektorn samt utbildningssektorn.
In addition, the future State partnerships that the Commission intends to develop should provide a holistic reform package which could add a rural and natural resource dimension to the education and health activities. 
De framtida partnerskap som kommissionen avser att utveckla med vissa delstater torde dessutom utgra ett helhetsprglat reformpaket som kan bidra med en landsbygds-och naturresursdimension till verksamheten inom utbildning och hlso-och sjukvrd.

C 292/4 EN Official Journal of the European Union 2.12.2003 SUMMARY I. The Court examined the management of the Financial Instrument for the Environment (LIFE), which is managed directly by the Commission and is being implemented in phases. 
C 292/4 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 2.12.2003 SAMMANFATTNING I. Revisionsrtten har granskat frvaltningen av det finansiella instrumentet fr miljn (Life), som skts direkt av kommissionen och genomfrs i etapper.
The programme consists of three strands: LIFE-Nature, LIFE-Environment and LIFE-Third countries, plus accompanying measures. 
Programmet bestr av tre temaomrden, Life-Natur, Life-Milj och Life-Tredje land, samt kompletterande tgrder.
The audit focused in particular on the second phase (1996 to 1999, LIFE II). 
Granskningen inriktades frmst p den andra etappen (1996Đ1999, Life II).
The global objective of LIFE Ń to contribute to the development and, if need be, implementation of Community policy and legislation in the environmental field Ń is very broad and has not been defined in sufficient detail. 
Lifes vergripande ml, som r att bidra till utvecklingen och, i frekommande fall, till genomfrandet av gemenskapspolitiken och gemenskapslagstiftningen p miljomrdet, r mycket brett och definieras inte tillrckligt ingende.
By contrast, with regard to the individual strands, LIFE-Nature is more precisely defined, inasmuch as its actions depend on the implementation of two Directives concerning the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora and the conservation of wild birds (see paragraphs 16 and 17). 
Nr det gller de specifika temaomrdena dremot r Life-Naturs ml tydligare i den mn tgrderna har att gra med tillmpningen av de tv direktiven om bevarande av livsmiljer samt vilda djur och vxter och av vilda fglar (se punkterna 16 och 17).
Of the Community participation of 450 million euro for the second phase (LIFE II), 435 million euro was used during the period for which it was allocated (see paragraphs 23 to 27). 
De 450 miljoner euro som motsvarar gemenskapsbidraget till den andra etappen (Life II) utnyttjades till ett belopp av 435 miljoner euro under den anvisade perioden (se punkterna 23Đ27).
The Commission evaluates proposals according to different criteria for each strand of the programme and only calls on independent experts in the case of the ÔEnvironmentŐ and ÔThird countriesŐ strands. 
Kommissionen bedmer frslagen utifrn kriterier som r olika fr varje temaomrde i programmet och anlitar oberoende experter endast fr temaomrdena Milj och Tredje land.
Some of the evaluation documents drawn up by these experts have not been kept (see paragraphs 29 to 33). 
Vissa utvrderingsdokument som upprttats av dessa experter har inte sparats (se punkterna 29Đ33).
V. The complementarity of environmental projects financed by LIFE with those funded by other Community sources (Structural Funds, research) is still poor, and the interdepartmental consultation procedure does not wholly eliminate the risk of double-funding (see paragraphs 41 to 45). 
V. De olika miljprojekten, som antingen finansieras genom Life eller genom andra gemenskapskllor (strukturfonderna, forskningsfonder), kompletterar fortfarande inte varandra p ett tillfredsstllande stt och trots konsultationsfrfarandet mellan avdelningarna har inte risken fr dubbelfinansiering kunnat elimineras helt (se punkterna 41Đ45).
The Court identified numerous difficulties affecting the implementation of the second phase of LIFE (LIFE II). 
Revisionsrtten upptckte ett stort antal svrigheter som gller genomfrandet av Lifes andra etapp (Life II).
The main points revealed by an on-the-spot audit of a sample of projects were: (a) staff expenditure was borne which had not been backed up by reliable records and which included the salaries of civil servants usually already covered by public budgets (see paragraphs 47 to 49); (b) a large number of Commission payments were affected by substantial delays (see paragraphs 52 to 55); (c) the financial arrangements for the projects suffered from deficiencies and the beneficiaries failed to keep sufficiently transparent and detailed accounts to allow the movements of funds to be retraced in their entirety (see paragraphs 56 to 62); (d) the volume of expenditure on the purchase of land for actions under the ÔNatureŐ strand was considerable and there were insufficient guarantees that this land would continue to be used for nature conservation purposes once the implementation period for the actions was over (see paragraphs 63 to 65). 
Vid granskningen p plats av ett urval projekt uppdagades det frmst att a) std betalades fr personalutgifter dr det saknades tillfrlitliga underlag och som gllde lner till tjnstemn som normalt redan tcks av den offentliga budgeten (se punkterna 47Đ49), b) ett stort antal av kommissionens betalningar var kraftigt frsenade (se punkterna 52Đ55), c) det fanns brister i projektens finansieringsstruktur och stdmottagarnas rkenskaper var inte tillrckligt tydliga och detaljerade fr att man skulle kunna spra alla finansiella flden (se punkterna 56Đ62), d) utgifterna fr markinkp nr det gller tgrder inom temaomrdet Natur var betydande och garantierna fr att dessa marker anvnds till naturbevarande ndaml ven efter tgrdernas genomfrandeperiod var bristflliga (se punkterna 63Đ65).
With regard to the monitoring and control of the projects, the Commission increased the number of on-the-spot visits and the findings revealed several types of errors at beneficiary level. 
Nr det gller vervakningen och kontrollen av projekten kade kommissionen antalet besk p plats, och resultaten visar att det finns flera typer av fel hos stdmottagarna.
The tasks of the technical assistance offices (TAOs), which act as external project-monitoring teams, were not well defined and the monitoring of the actions suffered as a result (see paragraphs 67 to 75). 
Arbetsuppgifterna fr byrerna fr tekniskt std, som r de externa enheter som vervakar projekt, var inte tydligt definierade vilket ledde till att vervakningen av tgrderna blev lidande (se punkterna 67Đ75).

2.12.2003 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 292/5 VIII.
The efforts made to reduce the shortcomings in the management of the LIFE programme should be kept up. 
Anstrngningarna fr att minska bristerna i frvaltningen av programmet mste fortstta.
To this end, the Court recommends that: (a) LIFEŐs role should be explained in the context of the multiannual environmental action programmes and its objectives better defined and, if possible, quantified; (b) the Commission should examine whether it would be expedient to separate the management of the ÔNatureŐ and ÔEnvironmentŐ strands; (c) the evaluation of project proposals should be carried out by outside experts for all the strands of the programme and these experts must be selected by a public call-for-proposals procedure; (d) the administrative provisions concerning implementation of the actions should be reviewed in order to achieve a better definition of eligible costs, in particular in respect of the accounting for the projects, staff expenditure, depreciation and purchases of land for ÔNatureŐ projects; (e) the CommissionŐs on-the-spot checks should be stepped up, if need be by employing outside auditors; (f) the results of the projects should be disseminated. 
Drfr rekommenderar revisionsrtten att a) Life fr en tydlig roll inom ramen fr de flerriga miljhandlingsprogrammen och att dess ml klargrs p ett bttre stt och, om mjligt, kvantifieras, b) kommissionen undersker mjligheten att frvalta temaomrdena Natur och Milj separat, c) utvrderingen av projektfrslag grs av externa experter fr programmets samtliga temaomrden och att experterna vljs ut genom ett ppet anbudsfrfarande, d) de administrativa bestmmelserna fr genomfrandet av tgrderna ses ver s att stdberttigande kostnader definieras p ett bttre stt, srskilt nr det gller redovisning, personalutgifter, nedskrivningar och markinkp fr Natur-projekten, e) kommissionens kontroller p plats strks, eventuellt genom att externa revisorer anlitas, f) spridningen av projektresultat kommer igng.
LIFE is a financial instrument managed directly by the Commission and devoted exclusively to the environment. 
Life r ett finansiellt instrument som frvaltas direkt av kommissionen och uteslutande gnas t miljn.
The overall objective is to contribute to the development and, where necessary, the implementation of Community policy and legislation in the field of the environment. 
Det vergripande mlet r att bidra till utvecklingen och, i frekommande fall, till genomfrandet av gemenskapspolitiken och gemenskapslagstiftningen p miljomrdet.
As far as the Community is concerned, eligible areas of action for financial support under LIFE are actions to conserve nature (LIFE-Nature) and actions intended to implement Community policy and legislation in the field of the environment (innovative, demonstration and preparatory actions) (LIFE-Environment). 
De tgrdsomrden som r berttigade till finansiellt std frn gemenskapen inom ramen fr Life r naturbevarande tgrder (Life-Natur) och tgrder fr att genomfra gemenskapspolitiken och gemenskapslagstiftningen p miljomrdet (nyskapande tgrder, demonstrationstgrder och frberedande tgrder) (Life-Milj).
In respect of third countries, the main aim is to provide financial support in the form of technical assistance (LIFE-Third countries). 
Nr det gller tredje land r det huvudsakliga mlet att bidra med finansiellt std i form av tekniskt std (Life-Tredje land).
Lastly, LIFE is also intended to cover the accompanying measures needed for monitoring and publicising the projects and for the circulating of information on the experience gained from these actions and on their results. 
Programmet skall slutligen ocks tcka de kompletterande tgrder som krvs fr vervakningen och frmjandet av projekten och fr spridningen av information om de erfarenheter som man har gjort och om tgrdernas resultat.
Checks were carried out at the CommissionŐs Directorate-General for the Environment, at the national authorities and at the TAOs during the period from March 2001 to June 2002. 
Granskningarna utfrdes p Generaldirektoratet fr milj vid kommissionen, vid de nationella myndigheterna och vid byrerna fr tekniskt std under perioden mars 2001 till juni 2002.
The audit focused mainly on the implementation of LIFE II. 
Granskningen inriktades i huvudsak p genomfrandet av Life II.
At 31 December 2002, almost half of these projects, decided between 1996 and 1999 and running for a period of between two and five years, had not been closed. 
Den 31 december 2002 hade nra hlften av de projekt som det hade fattats beslut om mellan 1996 och 1999 och som genomfrdes under en period p tv till fem r inte avslutats.
Project files relating to the three strands of the programme were examined at the Commission. 
Projekthandlingarna fr programmets tre temaomrden granskades p kommissionen.
A sample of 46 projects out of a total of 810 under the ÔNatureŐ and ÔEnvironmentŐ strands, involving eight Member States (Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom), were checked on the spot. 
Ett urval p 46 projekt av sammanlagt 810 fr temaomrdena Natur och Milj i tta medlemsstater (Tyskland, Spanien, Frankrike, Irland, Italien, Portugal, Sverige och Frenade kungariket) granskades p plats.
The sample of projects examined on the spot was selected on the basis of criteria relating to the eligible field of action, the type of beneficiary, the type of project, the volume of finance and the state of progress. 
Urvalet av projekt som granskades p plats gjordes utifrn kriterier betrffande stdberttigande tgrdsomrde, typ av stdmottagare, typ av projekt, den finansiella betydelsen och genom-frandestatus.
The sample was drawn in such a way as to give an overall view of the type of problems occurring within a large spread of activities selected from amongst the actions THE OBJECTIVE OF THE AUDIT AND THE AUDIT APPROACH financed. 
Urvalet gjordes p ett sdant stt att man fick en vergripande bild av de typer av problem som uppkommit i ett stort antal av de olika verksamheter som hade valts ut bland de finansierade tgrderna.
COMMUNITY AID FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT General context 5. There are many forms of EU aid measures in the field of the environment and they are managed by a number of directorates-general which are responsible for the Structural Funds, the Cohesion Fund, Research, Agriculture, external programmes, the pre-accession instrument and special measures taken by the 
GEMENSKAPSST D TILL MILJ SKYDD Allmn bakgrund 5. Europeiska unionen har mnga olika ekonomiska stdtgrder p miljomrdet som frvaltas av flera olika generaldirektorat vilka ansvarar fr strukturfonderna, Sammanhllningsfonden, forsknings-och jordbruksfonder, fonder fr externa program,
C 292/6 EN Official Journal of the European Union 2.12.2003 Directorate-General for the Environment. They account for an estimated annual average of 11 100 million euro, which includes 5 300 million euro financed from appropriations under the general budget and 5 800 million euro in the form of loans granted by the EIB (see Table 1). 
C 292/6 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 2.12.2003 std infr anslutningen (franslutningsinstrument) och srskilda tgrder vid Generaldirektoratet fr milj. De motsvarar i genomsnitt ett berknat rsbelopp p 11,1 miljarder euro, av vilka 5,3 miljarder euro finansieras med anslag ur den allmnna budgeten och 5,8 miljarder euro beviljas i form av ln frn Europeiska investeringsbanken (se tabell 1).
This Community expenditure is made within the framework of the environmental action programmes (EAPs) adopted by the European Parliament and the Council (1). 6. The EAPs play an important role in the development of Community policy on the environment. 
Dessa gemenskapsutgifter betalas inom ramen fr de miljhandlingsprogram som Europaparlamentet och rdet har antagit (1). lyfta fram Europeiska unionens frmsta utmaningar p miljomrdet, stta upp ml och utarbeta riktlinjer.
The EUŐs first environmental action programme dates back to 1973. 
Europeiska unionens frsta handlingsprogram infrdes 1973.
In 1993, the fifth Community programme of policy and action in relation to the environment and sustainable development (fifth EAP) (2) came into force. 
1993 trdde gemenskapens femte handlingsprogram fr politik och tgrder i relation till miljn och en hllbar utveckling i kraft (2).
It defined the broad policy guidelines with regard to the environment for the period 1993 to 1999 and mentioned the Community Financial Instrument for the Environment (LIFE) for the first time as one of the financial support mechanisms. 
Dr faststlldes de vergripande politiska riktlinjerna fr miljn fr perioden 1993Đ1999 och dr tog man fr frsta gngen upp det finansiella instrumentet fr miljn (Life) som en mekanism fr finansiellt std.
