The Commission recognises that there have been some problems with the controls on compliance with minimum standards and has made recommendations for improvements. 
Kommissionen medger att det funnits en del problem med kontrollerna av verensstmmelsen med miniminormer och har utfrdat rekommendationer fr att skapa frbttringar.
On the basis of its audits up to March 2004, the Commission considers that the situation has improved since the CourtŐs audit. 
P grundval av sina granskningar fram till mars 2004 anser kommissionen att situationen har frbttrats sedan revisionsrttens granskning.
X. The Commission is aware of the problem of lack of own resources and of the difficulties in obtaining credit. 
X. Kommissionen r medveten om problemet med bristen p egna medel och svrigheterna med att skaffa kredit.
To address this issue, the Commission, with the aid of Phare funds, is supporting a project to improve access to credit for SMEs in Sapard countries, which should help widen access to Sapard. This project THE COMMISSIONŐS REPLIES 
Fr att tgrda detta stder kommissionen med hjlp av Phare-medel ett projekt som skall frbttra kredittillgngen fr sm och medelstora fretag i Sapardlnderna, vilket torde hjlpa till att utvidga tillgngen till Sapard. Detta projekt har nyligen utvidgats med en

It also encourages the candidate countries to use national credit schemes as far as they are respecting Community competition rules and aid intensities of the Sapard Regulation. 
Kommissionen uppmuntrar ven kandidatlnderna att anvnda nationella kreditsystem s lnge dessa respekterar gemenskapens konkurrensregler och stdniverna i Sapardfrordningen.
In order to facilitate the application of national credit schemes the Commission in its recent proposal for a modification of Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 included a specific provision in this respect (see also reply to point 97). 
Fr att underltta tillmpningen av nationella kreditsystem infrde kommissionen i sitt senaste frslag till ndring av frordning (EG) nr 1268/1999 en specifik bestmmelse i detta hnseende (se ven svar p punkt 97).
XI. Although the Commission has also identified weaknesses in some cases and has made recommendations for improvements, it considers that the situation has improved since the CourtŐs audit. 
XI. ven om kommissionen ocks har ptrffat svagheter i en del fall och har utfrdat rekommendationer till frbttringar anser den att situationen har frbttrats sedan revisionsrttens revision.
Where necessary, these recommendations will be followed up under the clearance of accounts procedures. 
Nr s behvs kommer dessa rekommendationer att fljas upp enligt frfarandena fr avslutande av rkenskaperna.
At the end of 2003 almost 13 000 projects were being implemented in the 10 Sapard countries. 
I slutet av 2003 hller nstan 13 000 projekt p att genomfras i de tio Sapardlnderna.
The legal basis was designed so that Sapard countries would be working with arrangements similar to those used by Member States. 
Den rttsliga grunden utformades s att Sapardlnderna skulle arbeta med arrangemang liknande de som anvndes av medlemsstaterna.
See also the reply to points 13 and 14. 
Se ven svaret p punkterna 13 och 14.
These three types of audits, as required by the Multi-annual Financing Agreement (MAFA), form the basis of the system used to provide reasonable assurance as to the legality and regularity of expenditure charged to the Community budget. 
Dessa tre revisionstyper, som krvs i det flerrigas finansieringsavtalet, utgr grundvalen fr det system som skall skapa rimliga frskringar om laglighet och korrekthet fr de utgifter som belastar gemenskapens budget.
In this context, the Commission considers that the main risks are adequately covered. 
Inom denna ram anser kommissionen att de huvudsakliga riskmomenten tcks p ett adekvat stt.
STAGES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SAPARD 11. 
STEG I GENOMF RANDET AV SAPARD 11.
The sizeable challenges posed by the need to set up an entirely new system, and the lack of experience of the Sapard countries in this area, meant that implementation took time but in most cases no longer than could be reasonably expected. 
De stora utmaningar det innebr att behva bygga upp ett helt nytt system och Sapardlndernas brist p erfarenhet inom detta omrde medfrde att genomfrandet tog tid, men i de flesta fall inte lngre n vad som rimligtvis skulle kunna ha frvntats.
Sapard, unlike the Structural Funds, could not build on a stock of projects already in the pipeline as at 1 January 2000. 
Sapard kunde, till skillnad frn strukturfonderna, inte bygga p projekt som redan var i planeringsstadiet den 1 januari 2000.
For the sake of sound financial management and the protection of the financial interests of the Community, Sapard projects are eligible for selection only after the adoption of the Decision on conferral of management. 13.-14. 
Fr att frmja sund ekonomisk frvaltning och skyddet av gemenskapens ekonomiska intressen r Sapardprojekt endast berttigade att vljas ut efter det att beslut fattats om delegering av frvaltningen. 13 och 14.
While the main elements of the CommissionŐs proposal on the Sapard Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 were maintained, the text of the proposal was subject to ongoing discussions (including discussions on budget headings) until the final stage of adoption of the Sapard Regulation. 
Medan de huvudsakliga elementen i kommissionens frslag angende Sapardfrordningen, (EG) nr 1268/1999, bibehlls, var frslagstexten freml fr fortlpande diskussioner (inklusive diskussioner om budgetrubriker) fram till det slutliga stadiet av antagandet av Sapardfrordningen.
Following adoption of the Regulation, a working group prepared the basic provisions for the financial management of Sapard within a few months. 
Efter antagandet av frordningen utarbetade en arbetsgrupp p ngra mnader grundbestmmelserna fr den ekonomiska frvaltningen av Sapard.
These were adopted by the Commission on 26 January 2000. 
Dessa antogs av kommissionen den 26 januari 2000.
The reason for this strategy was the novelty of the approach and the fact that this was the first time external aid was managed on a fully decentralised basis. 
Orsaken till denna strategi var att metoden var ny och det faktum att externt std fr frsta gngen handhades p helt decentraliserad basis.
The detailed steps and the time required for elaborating and agreeing the financial implementing arrangements are outlined in the CommissionŐs Sapard Annual Report 2000. 
De detaljerade stegen och den tid som krvdes fr att utarbeta och enas om arrangemangen fr det finansiella genomfrandet beskrivs i kommissionens rsrapport om Sapard fr 2000.
These steps involved the adoption of the implementing Regulation (adopted on 18 April 2000), the elaboration and adoption of the Multi-annual Financing Agreement (MAFA) and the 2000 Annual Financing Agreement (AFA) by the Commission (adopted on 29 November 2000), and the negotiation of bilateral agreements (MAFA and AFA) with each of the 10 Sapard countries (all agreements were signed between 18 December 2000 and end of March 2001). 
Bland dessa steg ingick antagandet av genomfrandefrordningen (den 18 april 2000), utarbetande och antagande av det flerriga finansieringsavtalet och det rliga finansieringsavtalet fr 2000 (den 29 november 2000) samt frhandlingar om bilaterala avtal (flerriga finansieringsavtal och rliga finansieringsavtal) mellan kommissionen och vart och ett av de tio Sapardlnderna (alla avtal undertecknades mellan den 18 december 2000 och slutet av mars 2001).
The Commission has, on various occasions, advised Sapard countries to avoid unnecessary administrative procedures not required by the MAFA, where appropriate via seminars, meetings or letters. 
Kommissionen har vid olika tillfllen nr s varit lmpligt via seminarier, mten eller skrivelser rtt Sapardlnderna att undvika ondiga administrativa frfaranden som inte krvs i det flerriga finansieringsavtalet.
The Sapard systems are designed by the national authorities not only on the basis of the accreditation criteria but also taking into account national legislation and their knowledge of the risk areas in their countries. 
Sapardsystemen r utformade av de nationella myndigheterna inte bara p basis av ackrediteringskriterierna utan ven med hnsyn till nationell lagstiftning och deras kunskaper om riskomrden i de egna lnderna.
Stricter rules are necessary in some situations to protect the financial interests of the Community (see point 20 concerning double checks). 
Strngare regler behvs i vissa situationer fr att skydda gemenskapens ekonomiska intressen (se punkt 20 gllande dubbelkontroller).
The capacity of Romania to spend EU funds has been the subject of ongoing discussions and exchange of letters between the Commission and Romania. 
Rumniens kapacitet att utnyttja EU-medlen har varit freml fr fortlpande diskussioner och skriftvxling mellan kommissionen och Rumnien.
Although the Romanian Sapard Agency has committed a large amount, the Commission is closely monitoring the situation (because of the low uptake in terms of payments) and providing advice as appropriate to reduce bottlenecks and risks in the procedures. 
Visserligen har det rumnska Sapardorganet gjort tagande fr ett stort belopp, men kommissionen vervakar situationen noga (p.g.a. det lga utnyttjandet i frga om utbetalningar) och ger rd nr s r lmpligt fr att minska flaskhalsar och risker i frfarandena.
The Commission has formally addressed this issue with Poland on several occasions, during bilateral meetings and at the Monitoring Committee meetings. 
Kommissionen har formellt tagit upp denna frga med Polen vid ett flertal tillfllen under bilaterala mten och vid vervakningskommittns sammantrden.
For example, the Commission urged the Polish authorities to Ôreview the elements of Polish legislation which could slow down a smooth implementation of the programmeŐ. 
Kommissionen anmodade t.ex. de polska myndigheterna att Óse ver de delar av den polska lagstiftningen som skulle kunna motverka ett smidigt genomfrande av programmetÓ.
However, the choice remains with the country concerned. 
Det slutgiltiga valet grs dock av det berrda landet.
The Commission cannot prevent Sapard countries from applying their own internal administrative arrangements as long as the Sapard rules are respected. 
Kommissionen kan inte hindra Sapardlnderna frn att tillmpa sina egna interna administrativa arrangemang s lnge Sapardreglerna respekteras.
30.11.2004 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 295/25 Notwithstanding the stricter national provisions for contracting and payments, Poland expects to commit all available funds for 2000-2003 to final beneficiaries. 
30.11.2004 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 295/25 Trots de strngare nationella bestmmelserna fr slutande av avtal och utbetalningar frvntar sig Polen att gra taganden fr samtliga tillgngliga medel fr 2000Đ2003 till slutliga stdmottagare.
The Lithuanian authorities acknowledge this situation and state that they recruited additional staff for project evaluation. 
De litauiska myndigheterna r medvetna om situationen och uppger att de rekryterat ytterligare personal fr projektutvrdering.
The Commission considered that these additional checks were essential to protect the financial interests of the Community. 
Kommissionen ansg att dessa ytterligare kontroller var vsentliga fr att skydda gemenskapens ekonomiska intressen.
32.-33. The Commission considers that it has allocated a sufficient number of qualified staff, in the Sapard Unit as well as in the services responsible for overseeing the accreditation process and carrying out audits, to ensure proper monitoring and financial management and control of the use of Community funds in the Sapard countries. 
32 och 33. Kommissionen anser sig ha avdelat tillrckligt mnga kvalificerade tjnstemn bde till Sapardenheten och till de enheter som ansvarar uppsikten ver ackrediteringsprocessen och som utfr granskningarna, fr att skra en ordentlig vervakning och ekonomisk frvaltning och kontroll av anvndningen av EG-medel i Sapardlnderna.
Desk officers in the Commission Sapard unit are responsible, as a general rule, for only one programme of a Sapard country. 
Samordnarna vid kommissionens Sapardenhet r i regel ansvariga fr bara ett program i ett Sapardland.
Only very experienced and qualified Commission officials are responsible for two programmes. 
Endast mycket erfarna och kvalificerade kommissionstjnstemn r ansvariga fr tv program.
The Commission allocated more staff to Sapard than to the Member States programmes where in many cases desk officers are responsible for more than two programmes. 
Kommissionen avdelade mer personal till Sapard n till medlemsstatsprogrammen dr samordnarna i mnga fall ansvarar fr fler n tv program.
The most experienced staff member of the CommissionŐs Sapard unit, together with the Deputy Head of Unit, monitored the Bulgaria and Romania Sapard programmes until the end of 2003. 
Fr Sapardprogrammen i Bulgarien och Rumnien vervakades programmen av den mest erfarna personalen i kommissionens Sapardenhet tillsammans med stllfretrdande enhetschefen fram till slutet av 2003.
The Commission could not give a Ôcommitment to speed up implementationŐ due to the reasons the Court rightly cites. 
Kommissionen kan inte Óta sig att pskynda genomfrandetÓ av de orsaker som revisionsrtten helt riktigt uppger.
Yet it offered to give any help to the Sapard countries which could speed up implementation, e.g. speedily adopting justified programme amendments, sending advice and interpretation letters, and conducting seminars. 
Kommissionen erbjd nd hjlp till Sapardlnder som kunde pskynda genomfrandet, t.ex. genom att snabbt anta motiverade ndringar av programmen, snda skrivelser med rd och tolkningar, leda seminarier.
It also asked the countries to indicate possible opportunities to simplify the delivery system of Sapard without weakening the sound financial practices set up. 
Kommissionen bad ven lnderna att ange eventuella tillfllen att frenkla Sapardsystemet utan att frsvaga den praxis fr sund ekonomisk frvaltning som etablerats.
All viable proposals were accepted via modifications to the MAFA or via changes in the relevant Regulations. 
Alla goda frslag godtogs via ndringar av de flerriga finansieringsavtalen eller via ndringar i de relevanta frordningarna.
A key feature of the system set up is that the countries concerned first identify problems. 
Ett centralt drag i det system som byggts upp r att de berrda lnderna frst ringar in problemen.
In such instances the Commission has consistently provided guidance and advice to the Sapard countries. 
I sdana fall har kommissionen konsekvent lmnat vgledning och rd till Sapardlnderna.
These actions have been described in detail in the CommissionŐs Sapard 2000 to 2002 annual reports. 
Dessa insatser har beskrivits ingende i kommissionens rsrapporter om Sapard 2000Đ2002.
MAIN RESULTS OF SAPARD 36. 
FRMSTA RESULTATEN AV SAPARD 36.
By 31 December 2003, against the 2000-2003 allocation of EUR 2 183 million, the total commitment to final beneficiaries amounted to EUR 1 214 million (56 %), while actual payments made to beneficiaries totalled EUR 323 million (15 % of allocation). 
Per den 31 december 2003 uppgick det totala tagandet till slutliga stdmottagare till 1 214 euro miljoner euro (56 %), mot ett anslag 2000Đ2003 p 2 183 euro miljoner euro, medan de faktiska utbetalningarna till stdmottagare uppgick till sammanlagt 323 miljoner euro (15 % av anslaget).
At this stage, in terms of the level of commitments made by the Sapard Agencies to the final beneficiaries, according to information received from the countries, at least seven countries out of the eight due to join the EU will be able to commit all available funds relating to the 2000-2003 period at the date of transition to the post-accession regime. 
Nr det gller nivn p taganden som gjorts av Sapardorganen till slutliga stdmottagare kommer i detta skede, enligt information frn lnderna, minst sju lnder av tta som skall ansluta sig till EU att kunna gra taganden fr alla tillgngliga medel som avser perioden 2000Đ2003 till dagen fr vergngen till den ordning som gller efter EU-anslutningen.
38.-40. The rule on the eligibility of VAT for EU part-financing applies to the Sapard countries as well as to the Member States receiving support under the Structural Funds. 
38Đ40. Regeln om EU-medfinansiering av mervrdesskatten r tillmplig p Sapardlnder liksom p medlemsstater som mottar std ur strukturfonderna.
C 295/26 EN Official Journal of the European Union 30.11.2004 The Commission will examine the impact of this after the programme has been completed. 
C 295/26 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 30.11.2004 Kommissionen kommer att underska effekterna av detta sedan programmet har slutfrts.
An assessment will be made in the framework of the clearance of accounts procedure, and the appropriate conclusions will be drawn. 
En bedmning kommer att gras inom ramen fr avslutandet av rkenskaperna och lmpliga slutsatser kommer att dras. 41Đ43.
41.-43. The Commission is of the opinion that this balance between measures in the programmes is consistent with the objectives of Sapard under Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 already mentioned in point 2 of the report, with the provisions under Article 4(3), which provides that Ô... priority is given to measures to improve market efficiency, quality and health standards and measures to create employment in rural areas ...Ő, and with the commitments adopted in the Accession Partnership pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999. 
Kommissionen anser att denna balans mellan tgrder i programmen verensstmmer med Sapardmlen i artikel 1.2 i frordning (EG) nr 1268/1999, som redan nmnts i punkt 2 i rapporten, vidare med bestmmelserna i artikel 4.3: Ó... prioritering av tgrder som frbttrar effektiviteten p marknaden, kvalitets-och hlsonormer samt tgrder som skapar nya arbetstillfllen i landsbygdsomrden...Ó, och med tagandena som antagits i partnerskapet fr anslutning enligt artikel 6 i frordning (EG) nr 1268/1999.
Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 places the Sapard programmes on two pillars Đ market and employment. 
Bestmmelserna i artikel 4.3 i frordning (EG) nr 1268/1999 placerar Sapardprogrammen p tv pelare Đ marknad och sysselsttning.
The objectives of Sapard as set out in Article 1 provide that these two pillars contribute to the Ôimplementation of the acquisŐ and to Ôsus-tainable adaptation of the agricultural sectorŐ. 
Mlen fr Sapard i enlighet med vad som anges i artikel 1 freskriver att dessa tv pelare skall bidra till att Óinfra gemenskapens regelverkÓ och till en Óhllbar anpassning av jordbrukssektornÓ.
The programmes approved by the Commission contain a well-balanced set of different measures which meet these conditions. 
De program som godknts av kommissionen innehller en vl avvgd uppsttning tgrder som uppfyller dessa villkor.
These measures were therefore considered, by both the Commission and the Sapard countries, to be ones that should be implemented as a priority, to assist in the restructuring of the agri-food sector and in the countriesŐ preparation for the application of the acquis. 
Dessa tgrder ansgs drfr bde av kommissionen och Sapardlnderna vara de som skulle genomfras med prioritet, fr att bist i omstruktureringen av jordbrukslivsmedelssektorn och i lndernas frberedelser fr tillmpningen av EG:s regelverk.
It is normal and inevitable that measures which can be directly linked to the sustainable adaptation of the agricultural sector, such as Ôinvestments in agricultural holdingsŐ and Ôprocessing and marketingŐ, modernise production methods and lead also in certain cases to an increase in production at project level. 
Det r normalt och oundvikligen s att tgrder som direkt kan kopplas till en Óhllbar anpassning av jordbrukssektornÓ, t.ex.
On the other hand, measures under ÔdiversificationŐ are aimed at creating sustainable income possibilities outside agriculture. While the Court found little evidence of any effect on the quality, health or environmental standards, the Commission considers that increased or modernised production at project level is not incompatible with improvement of standards. 
Óinvesteringar i jordbruksfretagÓ och Óbearbetning och salufr-ingÓ, moderniserar produktionsmetoderna och ven i vissa fall leder till en kning av produktionen p projektnivn.  andra sidan syftar tgrder under ÓdiversifieringÓ att skapa hllbara inkomstmjligheter vid sidan av jordbruket.
All the entrepreneurs in the Sapard countries were well aware that continued profitability relies on meeting the minimum standards of the EU. 
Alla fretagare i Sapardlnderna var vl medvetna om att fortsatt lnsamhet hnger p att man uppfyller EU:s miniminormer.
All the new equipment meets these standards. 
All ny utrustning uppfyller dessa normer.
A final analysis can be made only after the programme is implemented in full. 
En slutlig analys kan endast gras sedan programmet till fullo r genomfrt.
The meeting of standards is not incompatible with commercial investment. 
Uppfyllandet av normer r inte ofrenligt med kommersiella investeringar.
Commercial investment normally sets the example for the private sector and thus serves as a pacesetter for rural development. 
Kommersiella investeringar utgr normalt frebilden fr den privata sektorn och tjnar slunda som trend-sttare fr landsbygdens utveckling.
The first substantiated information on the implementation of a significant set of measures was included in the 2002 implementation reports from five countries and now in the mid-term evaluation reports for the 10 programmes. 
Ryssland. Den frsta underbyggda informationen om genomfrandet av ett stort antal tgrder inkluderades i 2002 rs genomfranderapporter frn fem lnder och nu i halvtidsutvrderingsrapporterna fr tio program.
Once the implementation reports were received, the Commission asked for more detailed information and advised countries to refocus the programmes whenever necessary. 
Nr genomfranderapporterna vl mottagits bad kommissionen om ytterligare detaljerad information och rdde lnderna att omfokusera programmen nrhelst detta var ndvndigt.
The Commission services have also identified certain problems with the respect of minimum standards in the Sapard countries, and have made recommendations for improvements in systems and controls. 
Kommissionens enheter har ocks ptrffat vissa problem med respekten fr miniminormerna i Sapardlnderna, och har utfrdat rekommendationer till frbttringar i system och kontroller.
The Commission considers that increasing production capacity at project level is compatible with improving standards and the need for restructuring to improve market efficiency (see also replies to points 41 to 45). 
Kommissionen anser att kande produktionskapacitet p projektniv inte str i motsats till en frbttring av normerna och behovet av en omstrukturering som frbttrar marknadseffektiviteten. (Se ven svar p punkterna 41 till 45.)
See reply to point 41: the employment problem in rural areas cannot be seen separately from the other measures of a rural development plan. 
Se svaret p punkt 41: sysselsttningsproblem i landsbygdsomrden kan inte avskiljas frn andra tgrder i en plan fr landsbygdsutveckling.
The overall impact on job creation cannot be assessed by counting the number of jobs declared by project beneficiaries in their application form. 
De sammantagna effekterna p skapandet av sysselsttning kan inte bedmas genom att man rknar antalet arbetsplatser som projektstdmottagarna deklarerar i sina anskningsblanketter.
