The Joint Planning and Monitoring Committees have played a major role in project selection but have generally played only a minor role in monitoring project implementation, rarely taking corrective action to ensure programmes were meeting their objectives. 
De gemensamma program-och kontrollkommitterna har spelat en viktig roll vid projekturvalet men vanligen endast en liten roll vid vervakning av genomfrandet och sllan vidtagit korrigerande tgrder fr att garantera att programmen uppfyllde mlen.
89. Although the Commission formally uses the logical framework methodology (1) to enable projects to be monitored and evaluated, the indicators used to measure project achievement are rarely precise and responsibilities for obtaining monitoring data are never defined. 
89. ven om kommissionen formellt anvnder den logiska rammetoden (1) fr att gra det mjligt att vervaka och utvrdera projekt r de indikatorer som anvnds fr att mta projektutf-randet sllan precisa och ansvaret fr att f in vervakningsdata definieras aldrig.
The annual monitoring and assessment reports carried out by consultants for the Commission for all Phare programmes including CBC are useful but focus on outputs rather than impact. 
De rliga vervaknings-och utvrderingsrapporter som utfrts av konsulter fr kommissionens rkning avseende alla Phare-program, inklusive programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete, r anvndbara men koncentrerar sig p output snarare n verkan.
No system has been established by the Commission for assessing the impact of completed projects and the overall evaluation of the CBC programme of November 1998 did not address this issue adequately (see paragraph 7). 
Kommissionen har inte ngot system fr bedmning av verkan av slutfrda projekt och i den vergripande utvrderingen av programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete frn november 1998 togs denna frga inte upp p ett adekvat stt (se punkt 7).
The Commission has not established an annual report on the implementation of the CBC programme as foreseen by Article 11 of the Regulation. 
Enligt artikel 11 i frordningen skall kommissionen varje r utarbeta en rapport fr fregende r om genomfrandet av de grnsverskridande samarbetstgrderna. S har inte skett.
New Phare procedures 91. 
Nya Phare-frfaranden 91.
In 1998, the Commission introduced several initiatives which affect the Phare CBC programme. 
1998 lanserade kommissionen flera initiativ som pverkar programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete inom Phare.
The new policy guidelines covering the Phare programme as a whole (2) included the requirement that the minimum size for Phare projects should be ECU 2 million. 
I de nya policyriktlinjerna som omfattar Phare-programmet som helhet (2) fanns kravet att samtliga Phare-projekt skulle omfatta minst 2 miljoner ecu.
While this approach may be valid for Phare national projects, it does not accord well with the CBC objective of supporting relatively small local projects managed by local and regional authorities. 
Detta frhllningsstt kanske kan vara meningsfullt fr nationella Phare-projekt, men verenstmmer inte med mlet fr programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete att stdja relativt sm lokala projekt som leds av lokala och regionala myndigheter.

For the 1999 budget, for the first time, up to one third of the total CBC budget is to be allocated to cross-border cooperation between Phare countries. 
I 1999 rs budget skall fr frsta gngen upp till en tredjedel av den totala budgeten fr programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete ansls till samarbetstgrder ver grnserna mellan Phare-lnder.
This step recognised the importance of allocating resources to the relatively poorer border areas which do not adjoin the European Union (see paragraph 59). 
Detta steg innebar ett erknnande av betydelsen av att resurser ansls till de relativt sett fattigare grnsomrden som inte grnsar till Europeiska unionen (se punkt 59 ovan).
Further studies are needed to address the issue of regional imbalances within each of Phare countries and to determine whether other instruments are necessary. 
Ytterligare studier behvs fr att komma tillrtta med problemen med regionala obalanser inom varje Phare-land och fr att bedma om andra instrument r ndvndiga.
A new CBC Regulation was adopted at the end of 1998 (1). 
En ny frordning om programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete antogs i slutet av 1998 (1).
It seeks to improve programming between CBC and Interreg but cannot address the main problem of different implementing procedures. 
I denna frsker man frbttra planeringen mellan programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete och Interreg, men det huvudsakliga problemet med olika genomfrandefrfaranden kan inte avhjlpas.
In the case of both the new Regulation and the allocation of funds to the Phare-Phare borders, given the existence of the 1995 to 1999 CBC multiannual indicative programmes, it would have been better to introduce such significant changes after 1999 to avoid disruption to the current programmes. 
Vad gller bde den nya frordningen och anslagen av medel till Phare-Phare-grnser, hade det p grund av existensen av de vgledande grnsverskridande programmen 1995Đ1999 varit bttre att infra dessa viktiga ndringar efter 1999 fr att undvika avbrott i pgende program.
CONCLUSIONS 94. 
SLUTSATSER 94.
The Court considers that during the first five years of its existence the Phare CBC programme has already had a positive effect at institutional level as a result of the cooperation developed in the framework of the Joint Programming and Monitoring Committees and the wider cooperation between regional and local authorities arising from the planning and implementation of CBC projects. 
Revisionstten anser att programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete inom ramen fr Phare under de fem frsta ren av sin existens redan har haft en positiv effekt p institutionsniv som ett resultat av det samarbete som utvecklats inom ramen fr gemensamma program-och kontrollkommitter och det bredare samarbetet mellan regionala och lokala myndigheter som planeringen och genomfrandet av projekt inom programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete givit upphov till.
However, over the period 1994 to 1998, the impact of the projects themselves has been less satisfactory. 
Under perioden 1994Đ1998 har sjlva projekten visat mindre tillfredsstllande resultat.
The main positive aspects of the programme are that: (a) theprogrammehascontributedtothestrengtheningofcoop-eration between Phare countries and bordering EU Member States at national and, generally, regional and local level; (b) in most countries regional and local authorities have increasingly participated in the planning and implementation of the programme. 
De viktigaste positiva aspekterna av programmet r fljande: a) Programmet har bidragit till att strka samarbetet mellan Phare-lnder och till dessa grnsande EU-medlemsstater p nationell och, i allmnhet, regional och lokal niv. b) I de flesta lnder har regionala och lokala myndigheter deltagit i allt strre omfattning i planeringen och genomfrandet av programmet.
This helps prepare them for subsequent management of the EU Structural Funds; (c) most countries have mobilised at least the minimum 25 % co-financing contribution foreseen by the programme; (1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2760/98 of 18 December 1998 concerning the implementation of a programme for cross-border cooperation in the framework of the Phare programme. 
Detta r en god frberedelse infr senare frvaltning av EU:s strukturfonder. c) De flesta lnder har lyckats f tminstone det minimala med-finansieringsbidraget p 25 % som anges i programmet.
49). (d) the small project funds established have proved a succesful innovation for fostering cross-border cooperation at grass roots level. 
49). d) Fonderna fr smskaliga projekt r en nyhet som framgngsrikt frmjar grnsverskridande samarbete p grsrotsniv.
However, in Albania, Bulgaria and FYROM the programme was implemented without any significant involvement of local and regional authorities, the national co-financing criterion was not met and small project funds were scarcely implemented. 96. 
I Albanien, Bulgarien och fre detta jugoslaviska republiken Makedonien genomfrdes programmet emellertid utan ngot strre deltagande frn lokala och regionala myndigheters sida, kriteriet med nationell delfinansiering uppfylldes inte och fonder fr smskaliga projekt tillmpades knappast.
On the other hand, the programme has suffered from the following difficulties: (a) implementation has been delayed so that the programme has had only a modest impact so far at project level. 
96.  andra sidan har programmet drabbats av fljande svrigheter: a) Genomfrandet har frdrjts s att programmet hittills endast har haft en mttlig verkan p projektniv.

Overall, the Court takes the view that the CBC programme Central and Eastern Europe if the Commission takes steps to rem-can play an effective part in the European UnionŐs support to edy these shortcomings.

21.2.2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 48/19 COMMISSION REPLIES The Commission welcomes the generally positive overall conclusion of the Court concerning the Phare CBC programme between 1994 and 1998. 
21.2.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 48/19 KOMMISSIONENS SVAR Kommissionen hlsar med tillfredsstllelse revisionsrttens generellt positiva allmnna slutsatser om programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete inom Phare mellan 1994 och 1998.
Nevertheless, in the light of programme implementation during the said period, the Commission has already taken steps to reform the programme, in particular by modifying the Phare CBC Regulation. 
Mot bakgrund av programmets genomfrande under den perioden har kommissionen emellertid redan vidtagit tgrder fr att reformera programmet, srskilt genom att ndra reglerna fr det grnsverskridande samarbetet inom Phare.
The CommissionŐs replies are in two parts: Ń the first comments on the CourtŐs observations, Ń the second sets out the measures adopted in the new Regulation and the new Phare guidelines which take into account most of the CourtŐs recommendations. 
Kommissionens svar bestr av tv delar: Ń I den frsta ges kommissionens synpunkter p revisionsrttens iakttagelser. Ń I den andra tar kommissionen upp de tgrder som vidtagits inom ramen fr de nya riktlinjerna fr Phare-programmet, dr hnsyn har tagits till de flesta av revisionsrttens rekommendationer.
Comments on the CourtŐs observations (a) Delays in implementation (paragraphs 10, 67, 71, 72, 75, and the conclusion paragraph 96(a)) The Commission can agree with the Court that the budgetary authority, on the initiative of the European Parliament, allocated an excessively large share of Phare funds to the new Phare CBC budget line (1) (paragraphs 10 and 67). 
Synpunkter p revisionsrttens huvudsakliga iakttagelser a) Frseningar i genomfrandet (punkterna 10, 67, 71, 72 och punkt 96 a i slutsatserna) Kommissionen hller med revisionsrtten om att budgetmyndigheten, p Europaparlamentets initiativ, anslog en verdrivet stor del av Phares medel till den nya budgetposten fr grnsverskridande samarbete (1) (punkterna 10 och 67).
However, we also believe that, due to the innovative character of the CBC programme and the limited experience of the administrations in the beneficiary countries, it was unavoidable that time was required for getting the programme on stream, with delays in the implementation as a result: Ń the Commission needed to draft a new regulation in order to define eligible borders, eligible actions, institutions and mechanisms for programming and implementation etc., Ń the Phare countries needed to create new structures which would be responsible for the CBC programme at national, and sometimes at the regional level, Ń bilateral structures between eligible Phare countries and their EU neighbours needed to be set up, (1) The Commission proposed only EUR 100 million for Phare CBC in the preliminary budget proposal for 1999. 
Kommissionen anser emellertid ocks att det, p grund av den innovativa karaktren i programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete och administrationens begrnsade erfarenhet i de bidrags-tagande lnderna, oundvikligen tog tid att f igng programmet, vilket i sin tur ledde till frseningar i genomfrandet. Ń Kommissionen tvingades utarbeta en ny frordning fr att definiera vilka grnser och tgrder som skall berttigas std, vilka institutioner och mekanismer som skall ansvara fr programmet och dess genomfrande osv. Ń Phare-lnderna behvde skapa nya strukturer som kunde ansvara fr programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete p nationell och i bland regional niv.
In consultation with the Parliament, the amount of EUR 180 million which was finally decided, has been allocated for two thirds to borders between candidate countries and the EU, and for one third to other borders (including borders between candidate countries). 
I samrd med parlamentet har det slutligen faststllda beloppet p 180 miljoner euro till tr tredjedelar anslagits till grnserna mellan kandidatlnder och EU och till en tredjedel till andra grnser (inklusive grnsvergngar mellan olika kandidatlnder).
Ń the Phare countries needed to engage in project identification and consultations on this with Member States and the Commission, etc. It should be noted that the Commission was able to adopt the Phare CBC Regulation on 4 July 1994 and to issue informal guidelines for multiannual programming for the 1995 to 1999 period in August 1994. 
Ń Phare-lnderna behvde pbrja identifiering av projekt och verlggningar drom med enskilda medlemsstater och kommissionen osv. Det br noteras att kommissionen antog frordningen om det grnsverskridande samarbetet inom Phare-programmet den 4 juli 1994 och fastlade informella riktlinjer fr flerriga program fr perioden 1995Đ1999 i augusti 1994.
Furthermore, the Commission only committed the full amount of the country allocations where acceptable standard projects were proposed. 
Kommissionen disponerade dessutom endast ver hela beloppet fr anslag till de enskilda lnderna under frutsttning att projekt med godtagbar standard freslogs.
From the outset, allocations per country were decided on the basis of objective criteria such as population and length of the border. 
De landsvisa anslagen faststlldes frn brjan p grundval av objektiva kriterier ssom befolkning och grnsens lngd.
However, on several occasions, countries that were not able to propose good projects in time, saw their allocations reduced (e.g. the allocations for Bulgaria and the Slovak Republic in 1996 and 1997). 
Lnder som inte kunde fresl genomfrbara projekt i god tid sg vid flera tillfllen sina anslag minska (t.ex. anslagen till Bulgarien och Slovakien r 1996 och 1997).
From the third year of the CBC programme onwards the Commission has effectively taken absorption capacities into account. 
Frn och med tredje ret tog kommissionen i praktiken hnsyn till lndernas absorptionsfrmga inom programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete.
Regarding guidelines, as Commission Regulation (EC) No 1628/94 of 4 July 1994 had Council Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 concerning Phare as its legal basis, the general Phare guidelines based on this Council Regulation also applied to Phare CBC, and there was no legal obligation for new guidelines. 
Eftersom kommissionens frordning (EG) nr 1628/94 av den 4 juli 1994 hade rdets frordning (EEG) nr 3906/89 om Phare som rttslig grund, var de allmnna riktlinjerna fr Phare, vilka grundade sig p denna rdets frordning, ocks tillmpliga p det grnsverskridande samarbetet inom Phare och det fanns ingen rttslig frpliktelse att utarbeta nya riktlinjer.
Furthermore, for implementing CBC programmes, as is the case with all other Phare programmes, the Phare DIS (decentralised implementation system) manual applies. 
Vid genomfrandet av program fr grnsverskridande samarbete r dessutom reglerna i Phare DIS (Decentralised Implementation System) tillmpliga och detta gller alla Phare-program.
Additional administrative guidance as provided in August 1994 was sufficient as it provided detailed information on how to prepare indicative multiannual programmes covering the 1995 to 1999 period, as well as framework agreements including agreed objectives and priorities for cooperation between partners, and the set-up of Joint Programming and Monitoring Committees. 
Ytterligare administrativa riktlinjer som frelg i augusti 1994 var tillrckliga, d de innehll bde detaljerade upplysningar om hur vgledande flerriga program fr perioden 1995Đ1999 kunde frberedas och ramavtal om antagna ml och prioriteringar fr samarbete mellan parterna samt om tillsttande av gemensamma program och vervakningskommitter.
The Commission also provided detailed guidelines for the establishment of small project funds by the time that Phare countries had developed sufficient capacities for assuming such decentralised responsibilities i.e. at the beginning of 1997. 
Kommissionen tillhandahll ocks detaljerade riktlinjer fr inrttandet av fonder fr smskaliga projekt nr Phare-lnderna hade utvecklat tillrcklig kapacitet fr att ta ett sdant decentraliserat ansvar, dvs. i brjan av 1997.
Despite consistent efforts to improve the pace of contracting, the contracting rate is less favourable than for other Phare programmes (at the end of 1998, the contracting rate for CBC was 47 % against 67 % for national Phare programmes). 
Trots ptagliga anstrngningar att ka kontrakteringstakten, finns det frre avtal n fr vriga Phare-program (vid slutet av 1998 var antalet avtal fr grnsverskridande samarbete 47 %, jmfrt med 67 % fr nationella Phare-program).
Another problem is the involvement of parties with little or no cooperation and management experience. 
Ett annat problem r att parter med ringa eller ingen erfarenhet av samarbete och frvaltning r inblandade.
On Phare-Interreg borders, it is also the result of the legal requirement to apply two different sets of procedures, as recognised in paragraphs 68, 69 and 70 of the report. 
Vid Phare-Interreg-grnser r det ocks fljden av att det rttsliga kravet p tillmpning av tv olika frfaranden, vilket medges i punkterna 68, 69 och 70 i rapporten.
C 48/20 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 21.2.2000 In order to address the limited experience of the administrations in the beneficiary countries, the Commission made available, at the early stage of the programme, important amounts of technical assistance, inside the individual programmes and in horizontal programmes, for helping the countries to prepare cross-border programmes. (b) Limitedcross-borderimpactofsomeprojects(paragraphs9, 11, 12, 13, 19, 21, 23, 24, 27, 28, 54, 60, 61, 62, 74, 91 and the conclusions in paragraph 96(b)) The Commission appreciates the CourtŐs view that ÔFor the great majority of CBC projects is was possible to identify some kind of cross-border impact even if it was not always easy to measureŐ (paragraph 60). The Commission agrees that the intensity of the impact has varied considerably. 
C 48/20 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 21.2.2000 Fr att ta itu med de stdmottagande lndernas begrnsade administrativa erfarenhet, tillhandahll kommissionen i ett tidigt skede av programmet betydande tekniskt std, bde inom de individuella programmen och de vergripande programmen, s att lnderna skulle kunna frbereda grnsverskridande program. b) Begrnsadgrnsverskridandeverkanavvissaprojekt(punk-terna 9, 11, 12, 13, 19, 21, 23, 24, 27, 28, 54, 60, 61, 62, 74, 92 och punkt 96 b i slutsatserna) Kommissionen uppskattar fljande uppfattning frn revisionsrttens sida: ÓFr majoriteten av projekt inom programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete var det mjligt att identifiera ngot slags grnsverskridande verkan, ven om den inte alltid var ltt att mtaÓ (punkt 60).
Prior to the submission of proposals for Phare CBC support to the Commission, the Joint Programming and Monitoring Committee and often their joint sectoral working groups discuss and appraise the cross-border impact of a particular project, and jointly formulate their recommendation to the relevant authorities of the Phare country. 
Innan frslagen om std till grnsverskridande samarbete inom Phare frelggs kommissionen, diskuterar och uppskattar ofta den gemensamma program-och vervakningskommittn vissa projekts grnsverskridande verkan och formulerar gemensamt en rekommendation till de berrda myndigheterna i Phare-landet.
It will then be up to the Commission to acknowledge and appraise the CBC impact, as reflected in the project fiches and the logframe matrixes. 
Detta gller Phares huvudprogram och drfr kommer kommissionen att ge ytterligare tekniskt std i detta syfte nr det r lmpligt.
The report mentions (paragraph 9) that ÔImplementation is most advanced in the Poland-Germany programme but one of the main problems the programme was designed to tackle, the long waiting time at border crossings, persists. 
I rapporten sgs fljande (punkt 9): ÓGenomfrandet har kommit lngst i programmet fr Polen-Tyskland men ett av de viktigaste problemen kvarstr, nmligen de lnga vntetiderna vid grns-vergngarna.
