Similarly, there was little attempt to relate the identified objectives, even if not quantified, to some ranking of the needs which the CSF aim to address. (f) Except for the application of the HERMIN model and the reference to the critical incidence analysis which was suggested for the Ôcase studiesŐ (5), no other evaluation techniques were proposed within the ToR and inception report. (g) With regard to the Ôcountry-specific questionsŐ identified in the ToR (6), no clear indication was given concerning the methodology to be used.

In addition, the strengthening of economic and social cohesion in the EU and the convergence of the less-developed Member States were not accorded sufficient priority in the ToR even though they are amongst the main objectives of structural measures. 
Dessutom gavs inte tillrcklig prioritet i uppdragsbeskrivningen t strkandet av ekonomisk och social sammanhllning i EU och konvergensen mellan de mindre utvecklade medlemsstaterna trots att detta r tv av de viktigaste mlen fr strukturtgrderna.
The inception report did include some questions about the development models used, the constraints on growth which are to be addressed and the channels through which an impact on the regional economy can be expected (7). 
I den inledande rapporten diskuterades ngra frgor om utvecklingsmodeller som anvnts, de begrnsningar fr tillvxt som behver tgrdas och de kanaler genom vilka en effekt p den regionala ekonomin kan frvntas (7).
However, the ex post evaluation should ideally have included empirical studies on the convergence between regions and the reduction of disparities as (1) ToR, p.

Furthermore, as an evaluation objective, it would have been appropriate to identify and analyse specific case-studies representing benchmarks for regional development policies, for instance, in the area of clustering or growth hubs. 
Dessutom skulle det som ett utvrderingsml ha varit lmpligt att vlja ut och analysera srskilda fallstudier som r riktmrken fr regional utvecklingspolitik, till exempel p omrdet klustring och tillvxtcentrum.
At the launch of the evaluation exercise, the question of appropriateness of the strategy was addressed by means of a list of issues and questions. 
Nr utvrderingen inleddes hanterade man frgan om strategins lmplighet genom en frteckning ver renden och frgor.
However, the evaluation guidelines provided by the ToR (8) and the Methodology Guide were not sufficiently precise or concrete. 
De riktlinjer fr utvrderingen som faststlldes i uppdragsbeskrivningen (8) och metodguiden var dock inte tillrckligt exakta eller konkreta.
Adequacy of supervision by the Commission 71. 
Tillrckligheten i kommissionens vervakning 71.
The (general) contract between the Commission and the consultants selected to carry out the evaluation stipulated that technical assistance with the evaluation was to be provided under the responsibility and supervision of Commission officials. 
I det (generella) kontraktet mellan kommissionen och konsulterna som valts ut fr att utfra utvrderingen faststlldes att tekniskt std vid utvrderingen skulle ges under ansvar och vervakning av kommissionens tjnstemn.
The quality of the evaluation was to be assessed by the Commission on the basis of the criteria developed under the MEANS programme. 
Kvaliteten p utvrderingen skulle bedmas av kommissionen p grundval av de kriterier som utvecklats inom Means-programmet.
The steering group chaired by DG REGIO which included representatives of other DGs was involved in drafting the ToR, approving the methodology and detailed work plan (in the Inception Report) and examining the national reports and the Synthesis Report. 
Styrgruppen, som leddes av GD Regionalpolitik och i vilken ingick fretrdare fr andra generaldirektorat, var delaktig i utarbetandet av uppdragsbeskrivningen, godknnandet av metod och detaljerad arbetsplan (i den inledande rapporten) och granskningen av de nationella rapporterna och den sammanfattande rapporten.
A panel of four experts was appointed to assist with their principal objective being that of ensuring that high-quality evaluations were produced. 
En panel bestende av fyra experter utsgs fr att bist och deras viktigaste ml var att se till att det gjordes hgkvalitativa utvrderingar.
The contractually agreed schedule was not adhered to. 
Den tidsplan som man kommit verens om i kontrakten fljdes inte.
The submission of the different reports was delayed, with the result that the final Synthesis Report and the national reports were not submitted to the Commission within the planned 12-month period, i.e. by 12 November 2002, but only in April 2003, and were published in May 2003. 
Inlmnandet av de olika rapporterna frsenades, vilket ledde till att den slutliga sammanfattande rapporten och de nationella rapporterna inte lmnades in till kommissionen inom den planerade tolvmnadersperioden, dvs. per den 12 november 2002, utan inte frrn i april 2003, och offentliggjordes i maj 2003.
It would appear that the timetable was excessively tight from the outset and did not include sufficient time reserves for treating the relatively large number of changes/amendments to the reports requested by experts and representatives in the steering group. 
Det verkar som om tidsplanen var alltfr snv redan frn brjan och inte innehll tillrckliga tidsreserver fr hanteringen av det relativt stora antal ndringar och frtydliganden i rapporterna som experterna och fretrdarna i styrgruppen krvde.
The ToR (6) required the examination of two specific themes by Member State and a list of such themes was proposed. 
I uppdragsbeskrivningen (6) krvdes att tv specifika teman skulle granskas per medlemsstat och en frteckning ver teman freslogs.
However none of the national evaluation reports included a specific focus on this aspect. Although individual chapters sometimes provide statistics or a partial exploration of these themes, they have not been subject, as required by the ToR, to specific research. 
Ingen av de nationella rapporterna fokuserade dock srskilt p den hr aspekten. ven om enstaka kapitel ibland innehll statistik eller i ngon mn utforskade dessa teman har de inte varit freml fr ngon srskild underskning, s som krvdes i uppdragsbeskrivningen.

In particular, given that the lack of reliable data and performance indicators and of precise objectives was foreseeable from the outset, the Commission should have ensured that appropriate measures were taken to address this critical constraint. 
I synnerhet, med tanke p att bristen p tillfrlitliga uppgifter och resultatindikatorer och p precisa ml kunde frutses redan frn brjan borde kommissionen ha sett till att lmpliga tgrder vidtogs fr att hantera denna allvarliga begrnsning.
Furthermore, given the tight timetable and the inherent constraints, the evaluation should have been concentrated on essential elements rather than attempting to undertake such a wide overall assessment of the programming period. 
Dessutom borde utvrderingen, med tanke p den snva tidsramen och de inneboende begrnsningarna, ha varit inriktad p de vsentliga delarna istllet fr p att frska utfra en heltckande allmn bedmning av programperioden.
Relevance of evaluation recommendations for future programming periods 76. 
Utvrderingsrekommendationernas relevans fr framtida programperioder 76.
Given the problems identified in the preceding sections of this report, the ability of the ex post evaluation process to yield worthwhile recommendations was limited. 
Med tanke p de problem som konstaterats i de fregende avsnitten i denna rapport kunde efterhandsutvrderingspro-cessen endast i begrnsad utstrckning frambringa rekommendationer som var vrda att tas i beaktande.
While the process yielded few recommendations about programme content, it delivered a number of relevant and sensible suggestions on how to improve the management of the SFs and of their implementation (1). 
Processen frambringade f rekommendationer om programinnehll, men den ledde till ett antal relevanta och frnuftiga frslag om hur man kan frbttra frvaltningen av strukturfonderna och deras genomfrande (1).
The evaluations have led to recommendations for the programming period 2000 to 2006 which mainly address the questions of management systems. 
Utvrderingarna har lett till rekommendationer fr programperioden 2000Đ2006 som frmst gller frvaltningssystem.
A wide range of themes is covered and these are generally well suited to the specific situation of the country concerned. 
En mngd olika teman berrs och rekommendationerna r i allmnhet vl mnade fr den specifika situationen i det berrda landet.
With respect to the 2000 to 2006 programmes, the key lessons to be drawn from the ex post evaluation of the preceding period relate to implementation, in particular with reference to the case study work undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of Structural Fund operations. 
Den viktigaste lrdom som kan dras nr det gller programmen 2000Đ2006 utifrn efterhandsutvrderingen i den fregende perioden gller genomfrande, i synnerhet mot bakgrund av de fallstudier som utfrdes fr att utvrdera strukturfondsin-satsernas ndamlsenlighet och effektivitet.
As regards post 2006, the recommendations proposed within the Synthesis Report are rather limited and of a general nature. 
Nr det gller tiden efter 2006 r de rekommendationer som fresls i den sammanfattande rapporten ganska begrnsade och av allmn karaktr.
However, they are still relevant and, as such, are useful. 
De r dock fortfarande aktuella och drmed anvndbara.
For example, it is stated that ÔMore use could be made of independent, ongoing evaluations, providing an objective external inputŐ(3). 
Till exempel faststlls att oberoende pgende utvrderingar kan anvndas p ett bttre stt, vilket kan ge ett objektivt externt tillskott(3).
While this is a sensible recommendation, (1) For example, a case was made for: ÔProviding much greater discretion to those Member States which have effective domestic monitoring systems to utilise their own monitoring requirements in relation to EU-supported initiatives. 
Eftersom detta r en klok (1) Till exempel plderades det fr att man skulle ge mycket mer bestm-mandertt till de medlemsstater som har ndamlsenliga vervakningssystem att anvnda sina egna vervakningskrav nr det gller EU-stdda initiativ.
This would reduce the costs involved and the data which emerges would probably be more meaningfulŐ. 
Detta skulle minska kostnaderna och de uppgifter som framkommer skulle troligtvis vara mer meningsfulla.

EX POST ASSESSMENT OF ESF OPERATIONS (UNDER OBJECTIVES 1 AND 3) BY DG EMPL 81. Together with the evaluation of Objective 1 regions, under the direction of DG REGIO, another evaluation exercise was carried out, in this case under the direction of DG EMPL, to cover ESF operations under Objectives 1, 3 and 4 and the Community Initiatives, Employment and Adapt. 
Tillsammans med utvrderingen av ml 1-regioner, som utfrdes under ledning av Generaldirektoratet fr regionalpolitik, utfrdes en annan utvrdering under ledning av Generaldirektoratet fr sysselsttning, socialpolitik och lika mjligheter som omfattade insatser genom Europeiska socialfonden (ESF) inom ml 1, 3 och 4, samt gemenskapsinitiativen Emploi och Adapt.
However, despite organisational arrangements intended to facilitate an effective coordination between the two evaluations, there is little evidence that this was achieved in practice. 
Trots de organisatoriska arrangemangen som skulle underltta en effektiv samordning mellan de tv utvrderingarna finns det inte mycket som tyder p att detta skedde i praktiken.
Text box 2 The overall conclusions of the evaluation by DG Employment The evaluation aimed at assessing the impact of ESF operations in the Member States, at the level of individuals and of systems. 
Textruta 2 GD Sysselsttning, socialpolitik och lika mjligheters allmnna slutsatser av utvrderingen Utvrderingens syfte var att bedma effekten av ESF-insatser i medlemsstaterna fr enskilda mnniskor och p systemniv.
It also sought to analyse the impact and effectiveness of Community action on specific structural problems and to ascertain the Community value added. 
Utvrderingen frskte ocks analysera gemenskapsinsatsernas effekt och effektivitet med avseende p specifika strukturella problem och bedma det mervrde gemenskapsstdet har tillfrt.
In the methodology adopted to address these objectives, evaluators were asked inter alia to indicate whether the cases which they were asked to assess provided support for or contradicted a number of hypotheses. 
I den metod som antogs fr att uppn dessa ml ombads utvrderarna bland annat att ange om de fall som de skulle bedma gav std fr eller motsade ett antal hypoteser.
The report noted a number of strengths which can be summarised as follows: Much of the ESF funding was targeted at the long-term unemployed which was deemed appropriate given the persistence of the latter. 
Rapporten pekade p ett antal starka sidor som kan sammanfattas enligt fljande: stor del av ESF-medlen var riktade mot de lngtidsarbetslsa, vilket bedmdes som lmpligt med tanke p att denna situation var bestende.
There were major improvements in employment services and educational and training provisions in several national contexts. 
Arbetsfrmedlingstjnsterna frbttrades avsevrt och utbudet av utbildning och fortbildning kade i flera lnder.
The resources used enabled a strengthening of certain policy priorities, such as equal opportunities, adaptation of the workforce and targeting those with disabilities. 
De medel som anvndes gjorde det mjligt att strka vissa politiska prioriteringar ssom lika mjligheter, anpassning av arbetskraften och srskilda insatser fr personer med nedsatt funktion.
Through the ESF, there was an increased involvement of social partners and regional authorities. 
Genom ESF mrktes en kad inblandning av arbetsmarknadens parter och regionala myndigheter.
The funds contributed to improvements in capacities to manage and implement labour market interventions at all levels. 
Medlen bidrog till frbttrad kapacitet att frvalta och genomfra arbetsmarknadstgrder p alla niver.
However, the report also noted a number of weaknesses. Deployment was largely driven by availability of resources rather than policy and took place in parallel and separate from the relevant policy debates. 
Rapporten pekade dock ven p ett antal brister: Utnyttjandet av medlen styrdes i stor utstrckning av tillgngen p resurser snarare n av politik och gde rum parallellt med och avskilt frn de politiska diskussionerna om samma omrde.
Interventions were largely concentrated on training and mainly allocated to service providers which is not, in isolation, the most effective means of helping the long-term unemployed. Consequently, it is likely that there was a high degree of deadweight associated with the intervention. 
Stdtgrderna var i stor utstrckning inriktade p fortbildning och anslogs i huvudsak till tjnsteleverantrer vilket inte, sett enskilt, r det mest ndamlsenliga sttet att hjlpa de lngtidsarbetslsa. Fljaktligen r det troligt att det var en hg grad av ddviktseffekter frknippade med stdtgrden.
Finally, administrative arrangements were perceived as complex while evaluation arrangements were weak and unstructured. 
Avslutningsvis upplevdes de administrativa arrangemangen som komplexa och utvrderingsarrangemangen som bristflliga och ostrukturerade. AV INSATSER GENOM

The influence of ESF interventions often takes the form of a contribution or of a potential effect that is intangible and therefore not easily quantifiable (1). 
Inverkan av ESF-stdtgrder tar ofta formen av ett bidrag eller en potentiell effekt som r abstrakt och drfr inte ltt gr att kvantifiera (1).
Notwithstanding this intrinsic problem, it must still be a prime objective of an evaluation exercise to assess the impact and, in conjunction with it, also the question of effectiveness and efficiency. 
Trots detta inneboende problem mste det nd vara ett primrt ml fr en utvrdering att bedma effekten och i samband med det ven frgan om ndamlsenlighet och effektivitet.
This is what the ex post evaluation exercise was required to do. 
Det var vad efterhandsutvrderingen skulle gra.
In seeking to analyse the impact of ESF interventions, the Synthesis Report provides estimations of the number of ESF beneficiaries per country and per objective (2). 
I ett frsk att analysera effekten av ESF-stdtgrderna ger den sammanfattande rapporten uppskattningar om antalet ESF-mottagare per land och per ml (2).
As a complement to the national evaluation reports, the ex post evaluation also attempted to provide evidence for a number of pre-established hypotheses (3). These considerations are discussed in the following paragraphs. 
Som ett komplement till de nationella utvrderingsrapporterna frskte man i efterhandsutvrderingen ocks ge bevis fr ett antal p frhand uppstllda hypoteser (3), vilket terges i punkterna nedan.
One of the most basic requirements of the ex post assessment of ESF operations relates to the number of beneficiaries of the programme over the period 1994 to 1999. 
Ett av de mest grundlggande kraven p efterhandsutvrderingen av ESF-insatser gller antalet mottagare av std frn programmet ver perioden 1994Đ1999.
The report provides a table which gives the estimated number of beneficiaries as 52 million. 
I rapporten finns en tabell dr det uppskattade antalet stdmottagare r 52 miljoner.
However, the additional notes to this table cast serious doubts on the figures presented (4). 
Anmrkningen till denna tabell innebr dock att de presenterade sifferuppgifterna mste ifrgasttas (4).
The uncertainty about the accuracy of the data detracts from some of the useful and relevant observations resulting in other parts of the assessment. 
Oskerheten kring korrektheten i uppgifterna avleder uppmrksamheten frn ngra av de anvndbara och relevanta iakttagelserna som r resultaten av andra delar av utvrderingen.
This information is potentially important in a number of aspects, including the calculation of unit costs of programmes and estimates of beneficiaries still in employment after 12 months. 
Denna information r potentiellt viktig i ett antal avseenden, bland annat vid berkningen av enhetskostnader fr programmen och uppskattningar av hur mnga stdmottagare som nnu r i sysselsttning efter 12 mnader.
However, there are factors which seriously limit the usefulness of the information, notably the lack of explanation as to how the data has been derived. 
Det finns dock faktorer som allvarligt begrnsar informationens anvndbarhet, i synnerhet bristen p frklaring till hur man har kommit fram till uppgifterna.
The report simply states that: ÔThese ratios applied to generate these estimates have been informed by the individual cases examined and the review of the literatureŐ (2). 
I rapporten anges helt enkelt att de nyckeltal som har anvnts fr att generera dessa uppskattningar har faststllts utifrn de olika granskade fallen och dokumentgranskningen (2).

(4) For instance, one can read in these notes that the figures for France, which amount to 17 million, were being Ôdouble-checkedŐ for Ôdouble countingŐ while the figures for the Netherlands, which amount to 8,7 million, are also being Ôdouble checked with national teamsŐ. 
(4) Till exempel kan man lsa i dessa anmrkningar att sifferuppgifterna fr Frankrike, vilka uppgr till 17 miljoner, dubbelkontrollerades p jakt efter dubbelrkning och att sifferuppgifterna fr Nederlnderna, dr antalet stdmottagare uppgick till 8,7 miljoner, ocks dubbelkontrollerades med de nationella teamen.
Furthermore, it is indicated that data are largely missing for Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom Ń although the later is listed as having 7,9 million beneficiaries and Ireland as having 680 000 beneficiaries. 
Dessutom uppges det att uppgifter i stor utstrckning saknas fr Tyskland, Irland och Frenade kungariket Đ trots att det i frteckningen str att Frenade kungariket har 7,9 miljoner stdmottagare och Irland 680 000 stdmottagare. inte anses vara tillrckligt, och mer detaljerad information om hur man har kommit fram till de olika uppskattningarna behvs fr att man bttre skall frst dessa siffrors tillmplighet, ssom riktmrken fr enhetskostnader och mtt p vilken framgng programmen har haft.
A second unsatisfactory aspect is the analysis accompanying the data. 
En andra otillfredsstllande aspekt r den analys som tfljer uppgifterna.
