9.3.2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities SUMMARY Within the context of its audit of the development of industrial sites (see paragraph 1), in addition to examining the legality and regularity of the co-financed projects the Court also wished to investigate the degree of integration of the development of industrial sites into that of the regions and the impact of the sites. 
40 9.3.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning SAMMANFATTNING Vid granskningen av utvecklingen av industriomrden (se punkt 1), har revisionsrtten velat underska, inte bara de samfinansierade projektens laglighet och korrekthet, utan ocks hur utvecklingen av industriomrden har integrerats i regionernas utveckling och vilken inverkan dessa omrden har haft.
In order to do so, it conducted on-the-spot audits in six regions receiving European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) aid and sent questionnaires to seven others. 
Drfr har sex regioner som fr ERUF-std granskats p platsen och frgeformulr har utsnts till ytterligare sju.
Investigations were also carried out at Commission departments (see paragraphs 2 to 4). 
Granskningen har ocks omfattat kommissionens avdelningar (se punkterna 2Đ4).
Although industrial sites are not mentioned in the texts of the regulations governing the Structural Funds, they are nevertheless often co-financed by the ERDF and it is difficult to quantify the total amount of its contributions. 
Trots att industriomrdena inte nmns i de frordningstexter som reglerar strukturfonderna, samfinansieras de emellertid ofta av ERUF, en samfinansiering vars totala omfattning r svr att exakt faststlla.
An improvement in the quality of the data sent in by the Member States would be necessary in order to obtain more accurate information on the use of ERDF resources (see paragraphs 5 to 7). 
Fr att f bttre knnedom om anvndningen av ERUF:s medel skulle det behvas en frbttring av de uppgifter som inlmnas av medlemsstaterna (se punkterna 5Đ7).
As regards legality and regularity, some observations have been sent to several Member States concerning the eligibility of expenditure declared by them and irregularities or legal disputes not notified to the Commission (see paragraphs 10 to 12). 
Vad gller laglighet och korrekthet, har iakttagelser riktats till flera medlemsstater rrande frgan om vissa redovisade utgifter r stdberttigade eller ej och angende oegentligheter eller tvister som inte har anmlts till kommissionen (se punkterna 10Đ12).
As regards regional development and conversion, it was found that there are often a large number of operators with responsibility for the creation of industrial sites, but no coordination between them (see paragraphs 15 to 18), that there are no land development priorities for industrial sites and that the objectives and selection criteria for the projects are weak (see paragraphs 29 to 39). 
I frga om regional utveckling och omstllning konstaterades att mnga olika medverkande ofta tillts delta i skapandet av industriomrden, utan ngon samordning dem emellan (se punkterna 15Đ18), att det inte frekommer ngra prioriteringar vad gller planeringen av omrdena samt att mlen och urvalskriterierna r dligt definierade (se punkterna 29Đ39).
The initiatives that are occasionally taken to draw up inventories of sites are not always adequately targeted (see paragraphs 19 to 28). 
De initiativ som ibland har tagits fr inventering av omrdena r inte alltid tillrckligt konsekvent genomfrda (se punkterna 19Đ28).
The Commission ought therefore to encourage the Member States to create analytical and monitoring tools (inventory and sales statistics) to enable active management of the creation or conversion of industrial sites within the framework of a genuine regional development plan (see paragraph 70). 
Fljaktligen br kommissionen uppmuntra medlemsstaterna att skapa analys-och uppfljningsverktyg (inven-tering och statistik ver frsljningen) fr att mjliggra aktiv frvaltning av uppbyggnaden och omvandlingen av industriomrdena inom ramen fr ett verkligt regionplaneringsprojekt (se punkt 70).
In the specific case of Ôbusiness nurseriesŐ, a maximum length of stay should be imposed on companies so that the nurseries can remain focused on their aim of helping in the creation of new operations (see paragraph 28); they should compile statistics on the undertakingsŐ success rates and the jobs created (see paragraphs 33 and 46). 
I det speciella fallet med ÓplantskolornaÓ br fretagen bara f vistas dr under en begrnsad tid, s att inte plantskolorna avviker frn sitt ml att hjlpa till att skapa nya verksamheter (se punkt 28). De br upprtta statistik ver andelen framgngsrika fretag och ver skapade arbetstillfllen (se punkterna 33 och 46).
The evaluators of ERDF measures should also investigate whether there is a consistent site development approach and an analysis of needs (see paragraphs 40 and 41). 
Utvrderarna av ERUF:s interventionstgrder br ven kontrollera att man tillmpar en enhetlig metod vid utvecklingen av omrdena och gr en behovsanalys (se punkterna 40 och 41).
The market price, which should where necessary be taken as a reference point in order to measure distortion of competition, is not in fact helpful since it is too closely connected to the initiatives of State property-developers alone (see paragraphs 49 to 55). 
Marknadspriset, som eventuellt br utgra jmfrelsematerial vid bedmningen av om snedvridning av konkurrensen freligger eller ej, r inte ngon lmplig referens, eftersom det r alltfr bundet till enbart de offentliga byggherrarnas initiativ (se punkterna 49Đ55).
In addition, in view of the competition between developers in a region to attract undertakings which are moving onto sites, ERDF aid should a fortiori only be granted within an overall regional development framework laying down the selection criteria for subsidised projects (see paragraph 56). 
Med hnsyn till att initiativtagarna i regionerna tvlar om att locka fretag att etablera sig p omrdena, r det dessutom desto mer befogat att enbart bevilja ERUF-std inom en vergripande ram av regional utveckling, dr kriterierna fr urval av subventionerade projekt definieras (se punkt 56).
C 68/26 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 9.3.2000 When ERDF aid enables the developer to make a profit, there is no counterpart to the Community financing and the non-refundable ERDF aid has no observable impact. 
C 68/26 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 9.3.2000 Nr initiativtagaren med hjlp av ERUF-stdet kan gra en vinst, finns det ingen motpart till gemenskapsfinansieringen och inverkan av ERUF:s icke terbetalningspliktiga std framgr inte klart.
In some cases, replacing the subsidy with a loan should be considered. 
I vissa fall borde man vervga att erstta stdet med ett ln.
Subsidies are justified when there is a desire to create an incentive for localisation and in the redevelopment of derelict or abandoned former sites. 
Stdet r motiverat nr man efterstrvar att ge incitament till lokalisering och vid renovering av gamla frfallna eller vergivna omrden.
Subsidies should anyway always be granted within the framework of a structured regional development plan, in order not to outstrip actual needs (see paragraphs 57 to 62). 
Det br under alla omstndigheter beviljas inom ramen fr ett strukturerat projekt fr regional utveckling fr att inte verskrida de faktiska behoven (se punkterna 57Đ62).
9.3.2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 68/27 INTRODUCTION 1. 
9.3.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 68/27 INLEDNING 1.
Two of the objectives ascribed to the Structural Funds (SFs) are to further the development and structural adjustment of regions whose development is lagging (Objective 1) and to restructure regions seriously affected by industrial decline (Objective 2). 
Frmjandet av utveckling och strukturanpassning i regioner vars utveckling slpar efter (ml 1) liksom omstllning i regioner som drabbats hrt av industriell nedgng (ml 2) r tv av de ml som uppsatts fr strukturfonderna.
In some cases these areas are equipped with buildings, whether they be ÔnurseriesŐ intended to house very recently established undertakings on a temporary basis by providing assistance, management support and shared office services, or Ôbridging buildingsŐ to house undertakings that are not yet in a position, or do not wish to bear installation-investment costs. 
I vissa fall finns byggnader inom omrdena, antingen ÓplantskolorÓ avsedda att tillflligt hysa mycket unga fretag, dr dessa fr hjlp och std att driva verksamheten och har tillgng till kontorsser-vice, eller Ótillflliga lokalerÓ avsedda fr fretag som nnu inte har ekonomiska mjligheter att, eller inte vill, investera i egna lokaler.
Such areas and, where appropriate, the buildings within them are termed Ôindustrial sitesŐ. 
Dessa omrden och, i frekommande fall, de byggnader som finns dr kallas med en sammanfattande benmning Óindustriomr-denÓ.
Neither the concept of industrial sites nor the types of infrastructure it covers are specifically mentioned in the regulatory texts governing the SFs. 
Begreppet industriomrde, liksom fr vrigt de olika typer av infrastruktur det omfattar, nmns inte som sdana i de frordningstexter som reglerar strukturfonderna.
The financial resources devoted to them may, however, account for a significant proportion of the total ERDF aid in regions whose development is lagging or which are being restructured (see paragraphs 8 and 9), and they are therefore covered indirectly by the Community regional policy. 
I regioner vars utveckling slpar efter och regioner under omstllning kan emellertid de finansiella medel som ansls till dem utgra en viktig del av ERUF:s totala interventionstgrder (se punkterna 7 och 8), och drmed omfattas de indirekt av gemenskapens regionalpolitik.
The Court therefore wished to examine, in addition to the legality and regularity of the operations co-financed by the ERDF (see paragraphs 10 to 12), firstly, how the procedure for developing industrial sites fits into that of the regions receiving ERDF subsidies (see paragraphs 13 to 41) and, secondly, the impact of these operations (see paragraphs 42 to 65). 
Frutom lagligheten och korrektheten i de tgrder som samfinansieras av ERUF (se punkterna 10Đ12), nskade revisionsrtten drfr underska dels vilken plats utvecklingen av industriomrden intar i den allmnna utvecklingsprocessen i de regioner som tar emot ERUF-std, (se punkterna 13Đ41), dels vilken inverkan industriomrdena har (se punkterna 42Đ65).
The ERDF contributes to the development of industrial sites primarily through operational programmes made up of Ôsub-programmesŐ which are in turn subdivided into ÔmeasuresŐ, under which the projects are co-financed in the eligible regions. 
ERUF:s medverkan till utvecklingen av industriomrden sker huvudsakligen via operativa program bestende av ÓdelprogramÓ som i sin tur r indelade i ÓtgrderÓ dr projekt samfinansieras i de stdberttigade regionerna.
For the measures, its role is primarily to ensure that the Member States and regions submit files describing the planned actions. 
Vad gller tgrderna, skall kommissionen huvudsakligen se till att medlemsstaterna och regionerna lmnar in en beskrivning av de planerade insatserna.
Audits in the Member States were carried out in six regions receiving ERDF subsidies, three with Objective 1 status (the Land of Thuringia (D), the Autonomous Community of Valencia (E) and Sicily (I)) and three with Objective 2 status (the eligible regions of Limburg (B), the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region (F) and Wales (UK)). 
Kontrollerna i medlemsstaterna genomfrdes i sex regioner som fr ERUF-std, tre ml 1-regioner (Thringen (D), det autonoma omrdet Valencia (E) och Sicilien (I)) och tre ml 2-regioner (de stdberttigade omrdena i provinsen Limburg (B), i regionen Nord-Pas-de-Calais (F) och i Wales (UK)).
These regions are economically and geographically different, which has an effect on their development or restructuring. 
Dessa regioner har olikartade ekonomiska och geografiska profiler som pverkar deras utveckling eller omstllning.
They were selected because of their interest value as regards the development of industrial sites and the volume of appropriations they allocate to finance them in the context of ERDF support measures. 
De valdes ut drfr att de r intressanta i frga om utveckling av industriomrden och drfr att de ger betydande anslag till finansieringen av dessa inom ramen fr ERUF:s interventionstgrder.
This sample is not intended to ensure statistical representativeness, but rather to demonstrate the range of differing practices, some of which should be encouraged. 
Urvalet syftar inte till att ge en representativ statistisk bild utan snarare till att visa en provkarta av olikartade tillvgagngsstt, varav vissa br uppmuntras.
Questionnaires were also sent to seven other regions, of which six replied (Hainaut (B, Objective 1), Saarland (D, Objective 2), the Autonomous Community of Extremadura (E, Objective 1), the Loire region (F, Objective 2), Basilicata (I, Objective 1) and Limburg (NL, Objective 2)), and one did not (Ireland (Objective 1)). 
Vidare har frgeformulr skickats till ytterligare sju regioner, av vilka sex har svarat (Hainaut (B, ml 1), Saarland (D, ml 2), det autonoma omrdet Estremadura (E, ml 1), regionen Pays de la Loire (F, ml 2), Basilicata (I, ml 1) och Limburg (NL, ml 2)) och en har inte svarat (Irland (ml 1)).
BUDGETARY AND PHYSICAL DATA 5. 
UPPGIFTER AV BUDGETMSSIG OCH FYSISK ART 5.
The Commission departments have various systems for recording accounting and financial data concerning ERDF support measures: (a) Sincom is the general system that records the CommissionŐs commitments and payments, including those relating to ERDF support measures; this system is designed for accounting purposes and contains no information concerning the content of the measures; (b) Garfield is a local system, specific to DG XVI, which details the appropriations (1) under ERDF support measures down to measure level; however, it does not record the expenditure declared by Member States, even though this is broken down in exactly the same manner; it contains a database that is used by DG XVI to list, using a predetermined thematic classification, measures under ERDF assistance programmes dating from the 1994 to 1999 generation; some items of information are not included in this database; (c) details of expenditure actually incurred and broken down in accordance with the measures provided for in the programmes are only available in the form of hundreds of paper and computer files concerning these programmes; no overview of the situation is drawn up. 
Kommissionens avdelningar har olika system fr registrering av bokfringsmssiga och finansiella uppgifter rrande ERUF:s interventionstgrder: a) Sincom r det allmnna system som registrerar kommissionens taganden och betalningar, dribland dem som rr ERUF:s interventionstgrder. Systemet r enbart avsett fr bokfring och innehller ingen information om tgrdernas innehll. b) Garfield r ett lokalt system, som anvnds av GD Regionalpolitik, och som specificerar finansieringsramarna (1) fr ERUF:s interventionstgrder nda ned till tgrdsnivn.
The Court has already noted on several occasions the difficulty of quantifying the financial resources earmarked by the ERDF for actions in favour of specific fields or target groups (2). 
Revisionsrtten har redan vid upprepade tillfllen konstaterat hur svrt det r att exakt uppskatta de finansiella medel ERUF anslr till tgrder fr specifika omrden eller vissa mlgrupper (2).
Any attempt to identify the appropriations allocated for developing industrial sites also comes up against several difficulties, of which the main ones are: (a) projects to develop new industrial sites may be charged to measures that include projects of a different nature. 
Det r ocks problematiskt att identifiera finansieringsramarna fr utveckling av industriomrden, framfr allt av fljande skl: a) Projekten fr utveckling av nya industriomrden kan bokfras p konton fr tgrder som ven inkluderar projekt av annan art, bland de granskade programmen till exempel konferens-anlggningar (operativt program 1989Đ1991/A Nord-Pas-de-Calais), infrastrukturer fr turism och vattenfrsrjning (operativt program 1989Đ1993 Thringen) och andra projekt fr lokal utveckling eller utveckling av turism och industri (operativt program 1990Đ1993 Valencia).
C 68/28 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 9.3.2000 (b) In Objective 2 regions new industrial sites were created by redeveloping abandoned former sites and are charged to measures that can also include urban regeneration; furthermore, it is often the case that redeveloping industrial sites does not result in new sites being developed, but rather residential developments or greenfield sites. 
Plantskolorna och de tillflliga lokalerna kan  sin sida bokfras p konton avseende tgrder fr std till sm och medelstora fretag. C 68/28 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 9.3.2000 b) I ml 2-regionerna har nya industriomrden uppsttt genom renovering av ldre vergivna omrden, och de bokfrs p tgrdskonton som ven kan inkludera renovering av stadsomrden.
The only way of obtaining more accurate information would be to improve the quality of the data sent in by the Member States, and one principal means of achieving this would be for assistance programmes to be more homogeneous and detailed in structure. 
Fr att man skall f mer exakt information, skulle de uppgifter medlemsstaterna lmnar in behva frbttras, vilket bland annat skulle kunna ske genom att man gav interventionsprogrammen en homogenare och mer detaljerad struktur.
The information concerning the 1994 to 1999 period extracted from the Commission database (see paragraph 5) shows that the appropriations set aside for developing completely new areas amount to ECU 2 493 million and those for redeveloping run-down former sites to ECU 1 338 million. 
Fr perioden 1994Đ1999, visar de uppgifter som hmtats frn kommissionens databas (se punkt 5) att finansie-ringsanslagen fr anlggning av helt nya omrden uppgr till 2 493 miljoner ecu och anslagen fr renovering av ldre frfallna omrden till 1 338 miljoner ecu.
Furthermore, appropriations totalling ECU 4 363 million were earmarked for structures to support economic activities that may include industrial sites, but the nature of the infrastructures was not further specified beforehand. 
Vidare har anslag om totalt 4 363 miljoner ecu avsatts till stdstrukturer fr nringslivsverk-samhet som kan innefatta industriomrden, utan att arten av infrastrukturerna har preciserats nrmare p frhand.
With regard to the six regions visited, Table 1 shows the initial financial appropriations under ERDF assistance for the 1989 to 1993 and 1994 to 1999 periods for, firstly, these regionsŐ main co-financed programmes, with all measures taken together, and, secondly, measures in these programmes likely to include industrial-site development projects. 
Betrffande de sex beskta regionerna visar tabell 1 de ursprungliga finansieringsramarna fr ERUF:s interventionstgrder fr perioderna 1989Đ1993 och 1994Đ1999, dels fr de viktigaste program som samfinansieras i dessa regioner utan uppdelning p olika tgrder, dels fr de tgrder i dessa program som kan innefatta projekt fr utveckling av industriomrden. Motsvarande utgifter under perioden 1989Đ1993 redovisas ocks.
Depending on whether the regions visited have Objective 1 or Objective 2 status, it was observed that the amount of ERDF aid devoted to the industrial sites may account for up to 23 % or 48 % of the total. 
Beroende p om de beskta regionerna r av ml 1-eller ml 2-typ, har det konstaterats att ERUF-stdet till industriomrdena kan utgra nda upp till 23 % (ml 1) eller 48 % (ml 2) av det totala stdet.
Physical data relating to these same regions and their industrial sites are set out in Table 2. 
Fysiska data om samma regioner och deras industriomrden redovisas i tabell 2.
They mainly indicate that, in comparison with their surface area and population, Objective 2 regions have more extensive infrastructures than those with Objective 1 status. 
Dr framgr huvudsakligen att ml 2-regionerna, med hnsyn till yta och befolkning, har mer betydande infrastrukturer n ml 1-regionerna.
Owing to lack of availability, some data concerning the Objective 2 regions (population and surface areas) are shown only at NUTS II level (3), whereas areas eligible for ERDF Objective 2 support measures are set at NUTS III level. 
I brist p tillrcklig information presenteras vissa uppgifter om ml 2-regionerna (omrdenas befolkning och yta) enbart p NUTS 2-niv (3), trots att det omrde som r berttigat till ERUF-std i ml 2-regionerna definieras p NUTS 3-niv.
LEGALITY AND REGULARITY 10. 
LAGLIGHET OCH KORREKTHET 10.
The audit of projects in the regions visited gave rise to observations concerning the eligibility of certain items of expenditure declared, and revealed irregularities or legal disputes not notified to the Commission. 
Granskningen av projekt i de beskta regionerna gav anledning till iakttagelser om det berttigade i vissa redovisade utgifter och visade p oriktigheter eller rttstvister som inte delgivits kommissionen.
