Distributionen i Ryssland De ryska myndigheternas genomfrande 28.
On conclusion of an invitation-to-tender procedure that, in terms of the selection criteria adopted, could barely be described (1) OLAF is investigating certain anomalies that were established following a call for tenders for transport via this port. as open, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture and Food entrusted the distribution of the products to operators who came from the former central planning system and had retained close links with it (see paragraph 51). 
I anslutning till en anbudsinfordran som p grund av de urvalskriterier som antagits prglades av begrnsad ppenhet (1) OLAF genomfr fr nrvarande en underskning om vissa anomalier som konstaterats i samband med en anbudsinfordran fr transport via denna hamn. anfrtrodde det ryska jordbruks-och nringsministeriet distributionen av produkter t aktrer med rtterna i det gamla centraliserade planekonomiska systemet som fortfarande hade starka band till ministeriet (se punkt 51).
The Russian Government did not comply with the Memorandum of Understanding, which stipulated that the Russian Government was to bear the costs for domestic transport (Article 3.3). 
Den ryska regeringen respekterade inte avtalsmemorandumet som freskrev att den skulle st fr utgifterna fr intern transport (artikel 3.3).
The buyers had to pay transport costs to the national operators, as well as extra commission of between 2,5 % and 3 % to the regional operators chosen by the regional governments, which often maintained close links with these same authorities. 
Kparna var tvungna att betala transportutgifterna till de nationella aktrerna och dessutom en ytterligare avgift p 2,5 till 3 % till de regionala aktrer som valts ut av de regionala regeringarna och som ofta stod i nra frbindelse med dessa myndigheter.
Deliveryofproductstotheregions 30. Although most of the products (97 % by value) were safely delivered to the selected regions, shortfalls were nevertheless established when the goods reached their destinations. 
Leverans av produkterna till regionerna 30. ven om den strsta delen av produkterna (vrdemssigt motsvarande 97 %) levererades till de utvalda regionerna konstaterades icke desto mindre brister nr produkterna anlnde till sina destinationsorter.
For example, out of the 196 950 tonnes of meat and 45 000 tonnes of skimmed-milk powder delivered to Russia, 7 947 tonnes of the former and 3 045 tonnes of the latter had not arrived by April 2000. 
Av de 196 950 ton ktt och de 45 000 ton skummjlkspulver som levererats till Ryssland hade 7 947 respektive 3 045 ton inte kommit fram i april 2000.
The monitoring system established by the Commission in collaboration with the Russian authorities made it possible to limit losses during shipment of products to the beneficiary regions. 
Det vervakningssystem som inrttats av kommissionen i samarbete med de ryska myndigheterna gjorde det mjligt att begrnsa frlusterna i samband med transporten av produkterna till de stdmottagande regionerna.
However, the terms of the contract with the company responsible for monitoring in Russia did not provide for an adequate reporting system, even though improvements were made after an initial Court audit in July 1999 identified shortcomings. 
Emellertid freskrevs inget tillrckligt system fr rapportering i specifikationerna fr det fretag som ansvarade fr vervakningen i Ryssland, ven om frbttringar skedde efter att brister konstaterats vid revisionsrttens frsta kontroll i juli 1999.
In practice, however, where the meat was sent to the beneficiary regionsŐ cold stores first, the monitors did not check whether the meat was subsequently delivered to processing plants in those regions, as the terms and conditions stated that such checkswouldbemadeonlyiftheCommissionspecificallyasked for them.

The selling price of products 32. 
Produkternas frsljningspris 32.
For the purposes of determining amounts to be deposited in the special account, the Russia-European Commission working group (see paragraph 13) was to meet every two weeks to determine an estimated value in roubles in the Russian Federation for the shipments provided. 
I syfte att faststlla de belopp som skulle sttas in p ett srskilt konto skulle arbetsgruppen RysslandĐEuropeiska kommissionen (se punkt 13) sammantrda varannan vecka fr att bestmma ett uppskattat vrde i rubel i Ryska federationen fr den transport som tillhandahllits.
These estimates were to be considered definitive only after the approval of the European Commission had been received on a non-objection basis within five working days.Within120daysofthearrivaloftheshipmentattheRus-sianborder,or75daysfromthetimeofarrivalofthecommodi- ties at the point of intended destination in the targeted region, whichever came first, the Government of the Russian Federation was to deposit an amount equal to the estimate into the special account established for the sole purpose of receiving such funds. 
Dessa uppskattningar skulle anses som definitiva frst efter att kommissionen gett sitt godknnande utan invndningar inom loppet av 5 arbetsdagar. Inom loppet av 120 dagar efter att transporten ntt den ryska grnsen eller 75 dagar efter varornas ankomst till den avsedda destinationen i mlregionen, beroende p vilket som intrffade frst, skulle Ryska federationens regering stta in ett belopp motsvarande uppskattningen p det srskilda konto som ppnats endast fr insttning av sdana medel.
Any inability on the part of the Russian Federation to collect the sales proceeds in line with the estimates would not nullify the GovernmentŐs obligation to make full deposits to the special account within the periods specified above. 
Om den ryska federationen inte skulle kunna f in ngra frsljningsintkter i enlighet med uppskattningarna skulle detta inte befria regeringen frn dess frpliktelse att stta in beloppen i deras helhet p det srskilda kontot inom ovannmnda perioder.

Proceeds to be deposited in the special account were to be based upon the estimated values of shipments as determined by the working group, and approved by the European Commission. 
Intkter som skulle sttas in p det srskilda kontot skulle grundas p det berknade vrdet av transporterna ssom det faststllts av arbetsgruppen och godknts av Europeiska kommissionen.
The estimated shipment values had to be discussed with the work-inggrouptodeterminethecausefortheshortfallandtoidentify remedies. 
De berknade transportvrdena mste diskuteras med arbetsgruppen fr att faststlla orsaken till underskottet och bestmma tgrder fr att rtta till detta.
If total actual proceeds were subsequently determined to be larger than total estimated proceeds, the Russian Federation had to deposit the difference in the special account. 
Om de totala faktiska intkterna senare berknades vara strre n de totala uppskattade intkterna var Ryska federationen tvungen att stta in mellanskillnaden p det srskilda kontot.
The Commission regularly fixed a net port price in agreement with the Russian authorities, in order to determine the amount of the initial deposit that the Government of the Russian Federation was to place on a special account after delivery of the products. 
Kommissionen faststllde regelbundet tillsammans med de ryska myndigheterna ett nettopris levererat hamnen fr att bestmma beloppet fr den frsta delbetalningen som federationens regering skulle stta in p ett srskilt konto efter att produkterna levererats.
However, it was not the Government of the Russian Federation which paid the initial deposit but the Russian operators, who transferred the counterpart funds to this account (fre-quently late) after the products had been sold to the first buyer (see paragraphs 42 to 47). 
Det var dock inte Ryska federationens regering som gjorde den frsta inbetalningen utan de ryska aktrerna som ofta frsenat frde ver motpartsmedlen p kontot efter att produkterna slts till den frste kparen (se punkterna 42Đ47).
Products were sold by the Russian authorities for the net port price (estimated in agreement with the Commission) plus the commissions charged by national and regional operators, as well as handling, transport and storage costs, and not necessarily at prices that did not disturb the local market, as required by the basic Regulation. 
Produkterna sldes av de ryska myndigheterna till ett nettopris levererat hamnen (som berknats i enlighet med en gemensam verenskommelse med kommissionen) plus de nationella och regionala aktrernas avgifter samt utgifterna fr godshante-ring, transport och lagring. Frsljningspriset var inte alltid sdant att det inte skapade obalans p den lokala marknaden, vilket krvdes i grundfrordningen.
In consequence prices for the meat were sometimes much higher than the price of commercial imports (often of better quality) from the EU (1) or other central European countries. 
Till fljd av detta var kttpriserna ibland betydligt hgre n priserna p kommersiell import frn EU (1) eller andra lnder i Centraleuropa, och dessutom ofta av hgre kvalitet.
In September 1999, for example, pigmeat supplied by the EU was sold for 25 roubles/kg. 
I september 1999 sldes grisktt som EU levererat fr 25 rubel/kg.
The meat, plus transport and handling charges, reached a price of 33 roubles/kg, whereas commercial imports for total prices varying between 15 and 23 roubles/ kg were observed in several regions away from Moscow and St Petersburg. 
Efter tillgg av utgifter fr transport och godshantering uppgick priset fr detta ktt till 33 rubel/kg, trots att man konstaterat totalpriser p mellan 15 och 23 rubel/kg fr kommersiellt importerat ktt i ett flertal regioner p lngre avstnd frn Moskva och Sankt Petersburg.
As the selling price of the meat supplied under the programme was considered uncompetitive by the processing companies, most of the meat was held in cold stores in the various regions for several months. No less than 37 000 tonnes of beef (or 26,7 % of the quantity of beef supplied) was still in storage awaiting sale as of mid-February 2000 and 35 000 tonnes of pigmeat (or 60 % of the supplies of this product) as of mid-March 2000. 
Frsljningspriset p ktt som levererats inom ramen fr programmet ansgs inte som konkurrenskraftigt av bearbetningsfretagen, vilket ledde till att strre delen av kttet under flera mnaderlagradesifrysanlggningarideolikaregionerna.Imit-ten av februari 2000 befann sig inte mindre n 37 000 ton ntktt (dvs. 26,7 % av det levererade ntkttet) och i mitten av mars 2000 35 000 ton grisktt (dvs. 60 % av leveranserna av denna produkt) fortfarande i lager i vntan p frsljning.
Inothercasesthemeatwasredirectedtoother,moresolvent, regions, thus increasing the transport costs, and hence the selling price, still further. 
I andra fall omdirigerades kttet till andra regioner med strre betalningsfr-mga, vilket ytterligare kade transportutgifterna och drmed frsljningspriset.
It was too late by the time the Commission ordered the programme audit that was to establish whether the products had been sold at market prices and whether the payments to the counterpart funds reflected those prices. 
Kommissionen pbrjade alltfr sent den externa granskning av programmet som skulle visa huruvida produkterna slts till marknadspris och huruvida motpartsmedlen terspeglade detta pris.
In fact, that audit had still not begun in March 2000, one year after the first consignment of products. Even if it is possible to show that some operators made an undue profit on some products, it will be difficult fortheCommissiontodemandthatthedifferencebeallocatedto the counterpart funds. 
I sjlva verket hade denna granskning nnu inte pbrjats i juni 2000, ett r efter den frsta leveransen av produkterna. ven om det kan bevisas att aktrer gjort sig orttmtiga vinster p vissa produkter kommer det att bli svrt fr kommissionen att krva att mellanskillnaden skall ansls till motpartsmedel.
Moreover, by acting in this way, the Com-missiondidnotensurethatthepricefixedforthesaleofthe products did not disrupt the local market. 
Vidare har kommission genom att handla p detta stt inte frskrat sig om att det pris som faststllts fr frsljningen av produkterna inte skapat obalans p den lokala marknaden.

The quality of the wheat supplied by the EU, which, according to local operators, was inferior to the qualityofthewheatsuppliedbytheAmericans,wasthecauseof a certain amount of resentment on the Russian side. 
Kvaliteten p det vete som levererades av EU, vilken enligt de lokala fretagarna var lgre n hos det vete som levererats av ame-rikanerna, gav upphov till ett visst missnje frn den ryska sidan.
The Commission is aware of this problem and is considering raising the intervention criteria, especially as regards protein levels.

The quality of the rye and rice supplied by the EU was, in general, appreciated by the beneficiaries. 
Kvaliteten p rgen och riset som levererats av EU uppskattades i allmnhet av stdmottagarna.
Following tests by an agreed laboratory in Hungary, it was found that rye (almost 5 000 tonnes) delivered to Smolensk was unfit for bread produc-tion.ContrarytotheCommissionŐsinstructions,itwassoldfor alcohol production and the corresponding counterpart funds were paid. 
Efter en motanalys vid ett laboratorium i Ungern som valts ut genom en gemensam verenskommelse konstaterades att rg (p nra 5 000 ton) som levererats till Smolensk inte lmpade sig fr framstllning av brd.
A similar quantity of rye delivered to Tula met the same fate, even though the same laboratory concluded that the quality of the product was acceptable. 
Samma sak skedde med en jmfrbar mngd rg som levererats till Tula, trots att nmnda laboratorium konstaterade att produkten var godtagbar.
Furthermore, in the region of Sverdlovsk, 4 000 tonnes of rye was used, not for the specified purpose of making bread, but for feeding poultry, although the quality of the product was not questioned. 
I regionen Sverdlovsk anvndes vidare inte 4 000 ton rg som planerats fr framstllning av brd, utan som fjderffoder, trots att produktens kvalitet inte ifrgasatts.
When the dioxin crisis erupted in Belgium, deliveries of Belgian pigmeat had already been made. 
Nr dioxinkrisen brt ut i Belgien hade belgiskt grisktt redan levererats.
Sales of this product, which was suspected of being contaminated with dioxin, were then suspended while the necessary tests were carried out. 
Frsljningen av denna produkt, som misstnktes vara dioxinfrorenad, avbrts sledes fr att ndvndiga prover skulle kunna tas.
These showed that 104 tonnes were actually contaminated. 
Dessa avsljade att 104 ton faktiskt var fro-renat.
The costs connected with the supply of this meat were borne by the European tenderer, who eventually disposed of it as feed for fur-producing animals. 
Utgifterna fr leveransen av detta ktt bekostades av den europeiske uppdragstagaren som slutligen avyttrade denna vara fr anvndning som plsdjursfoder.
The fact that contaminated meat had been supplied made it even more difficult to sell the meat supplied. 
Det faktum att frorenat ktt hade levererats frsvrade avyttring av det levererade kttet i nnu hgre grad.
Some processing companies did not want any beef because, as a rule, it had been held in cold storage in the EU for three years. 
Vissa bearbetningsfretag ville inte ha ntktt eftersom det i allmnhet lagrats i frysanlggningar i EU under tre r.
Inaddition,insomeofthecoldstoresvisitedbytheCourtŐsaudi-tors in Russia, the temperature was sometimes considerably higher than the Đ 18ĄC required for storing meat. 
Vidare var temperaturen i vissa frysanlggningar i Ryssland som beskts av revisionsrttens revisorer ibland betydligt hgre n de Đ 18 ĄC som krvs fr lagring av ktt.
The counterpart funds 42. 
Motpartsmedlen 42.
Initially the amount of counterpart funds was expected to be around 320 million euro. 
Ursprungligen hade det frvntade beloppet fr motpartsmedel berknats till 320 miljoner euro.
The Council Regulation stated that the net receipts from the sale of the products were to be used for the implementation of social measures. 
I rdets frordning freskrevs att nettoinkomsterna frn frsljningen av produkterna skulle ansls till sociala tgrder.
The Russian GovernmentŐs Decree No 130 (see paragraph 9) went further, however, specifying that the funds would be allocated to the federal pension fund budget for the payment of pensions and discharge of the pension indebtedness accrued in 1998 (see also paragraph 14). 
I sitt dekret nr 130 (se punkt 9) gick dock den ryska regeringen lngre och frklarade att medlen skulle ansls till budgeten fr den federala pensionsfonden fr utbetalning av pensioner och betalning av 1998 rs skulder p detta omrde (se ven punkt 14).
The Commission was nevertheless able to obtain an agreement that 20 %

InmostoftheregionsvisitedbytheCourtŐsauditorstheregional authorities would have preferred a substantial part of the counterpart funds generated by the programme to have been ear-markedforthedevelopmentoflocalagriculture,awishthathad already been expressed by the Russian Ministry of Agriculture when the programme was being negotiated with the Commission in November 1998. 
I de flesta regioner som besktes av revisionsrttens revisorer hade de regionala myndigheterna fredragit att en stor del av motpartsmedlen frnprogrammetanvntsfrutvecklingavdetlokalajordbruket, ett nskeml som det ryska jordbruksministeriet redan gett uttryck fr i samband med frhandlingarna om programmet med kommissionen i november 1998.
The use of the counterpart funds for agricultural programmes could have been made conditional upon the adoption of certain reforms in this sector. 
Anvndningen av motpartsmedel till jordbruksprogram hade kunnat ske p villkoret att vissa reformer inomdennasektorantogs.
Both the Commission and the Russian Government attached the utmost importance to the collection of the counterpart funds. 
Bde kommissionen och den ryska regeringen har tillmtt insamlingen av motpartsmedel en avgrande betydelse.
The Russian Government accordingly tried to establish a system of guarantees that would result in a reduction of central budgetary transfers to regions which did not pay for the products. 
Med hnsyn till detta frskte den ryska regeringen infra ett garantisystem som skulle medfra en minskning av verfringarna frn den centrala budgeten till regionerna om de senare inte betalat fr produkterna.Dessagarantiervaremellertidintealltidgiltiga.Den strsta stdmottagande regionen (Sverdlovsk) hade till exempel inte sjlv utfrdat ngon garanti fr kttleveranserna utan verltit detta ansvar till ett privat fretag.
In addition, some regions which were unable to provide the required guarantees preferred to reduce their meat orders and the produce went to other more prosperous regions (see the annexed table comparing the poverty indicator for the regions with the amount of aid allocated per head of the population). 
Vidare fredrog vissa regioner som inte kunde tillhandahlla de erforderliga garantierna att minska sina anskningar om ktt, vilket ledde till att produkterna gick till andra, rikare regioner (se den bifogade tabellen fr jmfrelse mellan indikatorn p fattigdom i regionerna och det stdbelopp som tilldelats per invnare).
As the Government of the Russian Federation did not pay the initial deposit as stipulated in the Memorandum of Understanding (see paragraph 32), the rouble equivalent of 129,4 million euro had been collected by mid-March 2000, that is to say, only 74,5 % of the total amount of counterpart funds that the programme was supposed to have generated by that date. 
Eftersom Ryska federationens regering inte hade gjort den frsta inbetalningen, ssom freskrivits i avtalsmemorandumet (se punkt 32), hade ett belopp i rubel motsvarande 129,4 miljo-nereuroindrivitsimittenavmars2000,dvs.endast74,5%avde sammanlagda motpartsmedel som programmet enligt planerna skulle ha inbringat vid denna tidpunkt.
As the counterpart funds were kept in a non-interest-bearing bank accountandtheannualinflationrateinRussiawas36,5%atthe end of 1999, the value of the frozen funds earmarked for social projects (see paragraph 47) was rapidly eroded. 
Eftersom motpartsmedlen sparades p ett bankkonto utan rnta, samtidigt som den rliga inflationen i Ryssland var 36,5 % i slutet av r 1999 urholkades snabbt vrdet av de medel som reserverats fr projekt p det sociala omrdet (se punkt 47).

The main regions affected were in arrears (2) primarily because they could not sell the meat at the prices set. 
De regioner som huvudsakligen berrdes lg efter med betalningarna (2), framfr allt beroende p att de inte kunde slja kttet till de faststllda priserna.
These regions, which were among the poorest, were also exposed to financial penalties from the central authorities, which proposed to deduct the amounts that the regions still owed by way of counterpart funds from any financial transfers to which they might be entitled. 
Dessa regioner, som var bland de hrdast drabbade, hotades vidare av finansiella sanktioner frn centralmakten, som planerade att dra av de belopp fr motpartsmedel som regionerna fortfarande var skyldiga frn eventuella finansiella verfringar till dem.
Due, in particular, to an improvement in the collection of revenue as well as to the fact that pension levels did not keep pace withtherateofinflation(3),thepensionfundarrearshadbeen paidoffinfullby1September1999.Inconsequence,only882 million roubles of the 8 500 million roubles that were to be drawn down against the counterpart funds were used to pay off the (1) The counterpart funds for the American aid programme were allo-2 cated to this pension fund in their entirety.

Apart from a relatively modest amount set aside for the repaymentofaloanwhichtheRussianauthoritieshadtakenup in order to pay off the arrears, most of the counterpart funds earmarked for the pension fund were used for several months to financeanincreaseinpensions.
