In fact, most of the 120 opinions given by the end of 1999 relate to the period 1992 to 1995. 
De flesta av de 120 yttranden som lmnats fram till slutet av 1999 avser i sjlva verket perioden 1992Đ1995.
The Court has previously commented on the work of the Conciliation Body in its special reports relating to the clearance of accounts for 1992 and 1993 (2) but has not previously undertaken a comprehensive review. 
Revisionsrtten har tidigare kommenterat frlikningsorganets arbete i sina srskilda rapporter om avslut av rkenskaperna fr 1992 och 1993 (2) men har inte tidigare utfrt ngon vergripande granskning.
An evaluation was carried out by the DG ÔAgricultureŐ clearance unit in conjunction with the Conciliation BodyŐs secretariatŐs in 1999. 
En utvrdering genomfrdes 1999 av GD Jordbruks enhet fr avslutande av rkenskaperna i samarbete med frlikningsorganets sekretariat.
This evaluation should have been carried out by a more independent service, such as DG ÔFinancial ControlŐ. 
Denna utvrdering borde ha utfrts av en mer oberoende avdelning, ssom Ekonomistyrningen.
The evaluation report describes the work and problems faced by the Conciliation Body. 
I utvrderingsrapporten beskrivs det arbete och de problem som frlikningsorganet skall hantera.
The main problems that the Conciliation Body has to contend with are getting the different Commission services to agree, within the four-month deadline (3), and dealing with ÔnewŐ information that is submitted by the Member States at the time of conciliation and not before. 
De viktigaste problem som frlikningsorganet har att brottas med r att f de olika avdelningarna inom kommissionen att enas inom tidsfristen p fyra mnader (3), och att hantera ÓnyÓ information som medlemsstaterna lmnar in vid tiden fr frlikning och inte tidigare.
Role of the Conciliation Body 60. 
Frlikningsorganets roll 60.
The Belle group recommended a mandatory mechanism in the form of an independent consultative body to enable the Commission and the Member States to settle out of court by negotiation. 
Belle-gruppen rekommenderade en tvingande mekanism i form av ett oberoende rdgivande organ som skulle se till att kommissionen och medlemsstaterna enas genom frhandlingar utanfr domstolen.
What was actually established under Commission Decision 94/442/EC (4) was a Conciliation Body whose remit is Ôto try to reconcile the divergent positions of the Commission and the Member State concernedŐ with regard to corrections proposed by the Commission in the context of the clearance of accounts procedure. 
Vad som egentligen inrttades i kommissionens beslut nr 94/442/EG (4) var ett frlikningsorgan vars uppgift r Óatt frska stadkomma en frlikning mellan kommissionen och den berrda medlemsstaten vad gller de skiljaktiga stndpunkternaÓ betrffande de rttelser som kommissionen freslagit i samband med frfarandet vid avslutande av rkenskaperna.
In December 1995, the President of the Conciliation Body produced a report on the first year of its operation. 
I december 1995 lade frlikningsorganets ordfrande fram en rapport om organets frsta verksamhetsr.
It had already become clear that the Body had failed to bring about definitive settlements. 
Det stod redan klart att frlikningsorganet hade misslyckats med att n fram till slutliga uppgrelser.
This report provided input for the CommissionŐs reflections paper (5), which recognised that conciliation was essentially unrealistic but rejected any thought of the idea of arbitration, which would imply that the opinions of the Conciliation Body would be binding. 
Rapporten gav underlag till kommissionens reflektionsdokument (5) i vilket man medgav att frlikning i grunden r orealistiskt men frkastade varje tanke p skiljedomsfr-farande, vilket skulle innebra att frlikningsorganets yttranden skulle vara bindande.
Instead it proposed that the Conciliation Body concentrate on the arguments put forward by both sides, evaluate their validity and recommend what it considers to be an appropriate correction. 
Kommissionen freslog i stllet att frlikningsorganet skulle koncentrera sig p de argument som bda sidor lagt fram, utvrdera deras giltighet och rekommendera vad den ansg vara en lmplig rttelse.
The reflections paper included a proposal to modify the Decision setting up the Conciliation Body in order to give greater emphasis to Article 1(c), which requires the Conciliation Body to draw up a report and explain any points of dispute unresolved. 
Reflektionsdokumentet innehll ett frslag till ndring av beslutet om att inrtta frlikningsorganet som syftade till att lgga strre vikt vid artikel 1c, enligt vilken frlikningsorganet skall utarbeta en rapport och frklara eventuella olsta tvistefrgor.
The proposal was not adopted. 
Frslaget antogs inte.
Whilst the Conciliation Body has commented on what it considers to be excessive corrections, it has never openly stated that the corrections should have been higher, although it is not precluded from doing so under Article 1(c). 
Frlikningsorganet har kommenterat vad det anser vara alltfr stora rttelser, men det har aldrig ppet hvdat att rttelserna borde ha varit strre, trots att det enligt artikel 1c fr gra det.
Performance measurement of the Conciliation Body 62. 
Mtning av frlikningsorganets prestation 62.
A number of criteria have been mentioned in the evaluation report in an attempt to measure the added value and effectiveness of the Conciliation Body: meeting the four-month deadline, outcome, impact on the number of cases submitted to the European Court of Justice and financial impact. 
Ett antal kriterier har nmnts i utvrderingsrapporten i ett frsk att mta det vrde frlikningsorganet tillfr och dess effektivitet Đ nr det gller att hlla tidsfristen p fyra mnader, resultatet, inverkan p antalet fall som lmnas till EG-domstolen och den ekonomiska betydelsen.
The Court has carried out its own analysis of these issues. 
Revisionsrtten har gjort en egen analys av dessa frgor.
The four-month deadline 63. 
Tidsfristen p fyra mnader 63.

A point previously made by the President of the Conciliation Body in his report (December 1995) on the first year of operation of the procedure. C 69/20 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 2.3.2001 a request from the Member States in order to allow them more time to submit their evidence. 
C 69/20 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 2.3.2001 en frlngning av tidsfristen med en eller tv mnader beviljats (i ett fall fyra mnader), d kommissionen har tillmtesgtt en sdan begran frn medlemsstaterna fr att ge dem mer tid att lmna in bevis.
Even at the end of this extended period only 20 % of the 25 cases concerned result in an effective conclusion. 
Nr denna frlngda tidsfrist lpt ut har nd endast 20 % av de 25 berrda fallen lett till en slutsats.
It takes on average a further five months for the Commission to take a conformity decision formalising the corrections that have been considered by the Conciliation Body. 
Det tar i genomsnitt ytterligare fem mnader fr kommissionen att fatta ett beslut om verensstmmelse med gemenskapsreglerna och drmed formalisera de rttelser som frlikningsorganet har vervgt.
Due to peaks in the workload of the Conciliation Body, cases may be delayed and cannot be included as foreseen in the submission for a conformity decision. 
P grund av toppar i frlikningsorganets arbete kan fall frsenas och drfr inte ing som planerat i underlag fr beslut om verensstmmelse.
For example, 18 conciliation cases (277 million euro) had to be excluded from the fourth conformity decision (1) because they were still being dealt with by the Conciliation Body. 
Till exempel mste 18 frliknings-fall (277 miljoner euro) undantas frn det fjrde beslutet om verensstmmelse (1) fr att de fortfarande behandlades av frlikningsorganet.
The accounts themselves are adjusted, on average, two months after the date of the conformity decision. 
Sjlva rkenskaperna justeras i genomsnitt tv mnader efter datumet fr beslutet om verensstmmelse.
The Court has found no evidence to support the claim made in the evaluation report that conciliation has enabled the Commission to reach decisions within a reduced timescale. 
En rttelse tar drmedinormalfalletettrfrndetattdenlmnastillfrlikning till dess att den frelggs medlemsstaten. Revisionsrtten har inte funnit ngra bevis till std fr pstendet i utvrderingsrapporten att frlikning har medfrt att kommissionen kunnat fatta beslut p kortare tid.
Outcome 65. 
Resultat 65.
The total value of all 279 corrections proposed for the period under review shown in the evaluation report is 2 436,2 million euro of which 125 corrections corresponding to 1 636,2 million euro (two thirds) were submitted for conciliation. 
Det totala vrdet fr alla rttelser som freslagits fr den granskade perioden som visas i utvrderingsrapporten uppgr till 2 436,2 miljoner euro varav 125 rttelser motsvarande 1 636,2 miljoner euro (tv tredjedelar) lmnades till frlikning.
During the conciliation process this total was reduced by 275 million euro (17 %). 
Under frlikningsfrfarandet minskades denna summa med 275 miljoner euro (17 %).
The evaluation report claims that 17 % of the 120 cases have been successfully reconciled in so far as the Member State accepted the proposed corrections or the Commission reduced or withdrew them. 
I utvrderingsrapporten hvdas att 17 % av de 120 fallen hittills har lett till en tillfredsstllande frlikning i den meningen att medlemsstaterna accepterade de freslagna rttelserna eller att kommissionen minskade eller drog tillbaka dem.
Four corrections were nevertheless subsequently taken to the European Court of Justice (2) and several were dropped because the Commission reduced the proposed correction before a conciliation hearing took place. 
Fyra rttelser togs emellertid senare upp i EG-domstolen (2) och flera fall lades ned fr att kommissionen minskade den freslagna rttelsen innan frlikningsprvningen gde rum.
If these cases were discounted the true ÔsuccessŐ rate would fall to 10 % by number. 
Om dessa fall rknas bort minskar det verkliga antalet ÓframgngsrikaÓ fall med 10 %.
In 26 % of cases the Body agrees with the correction proposed by the Commission, and for 50 % of the cases, agrees that a correction is warranted at a lower level than the one proposed, but the Commission maintains its position. 
I 26 % av fallen godtar frlikningsorganet den rttelse kommissionen freslagit, och i 50 % av fallen hller frlikningsorganet med om att det behvs en rttelse men en mindre rttelse n den freslagna, medan kommissionen hller fast vid sin stndpunkt.
Many of these cases are also taken to the European Court of Justice. 
Mnga av dessa fall hnskjuts ocks till EG-domstolen.
In 10 % of cases the Body cannot reach a conclusion because it is not competent in legal matters or there is insufficient information to enable it to do so. Again, most of these corrections become the subject of Court cases. 
I 10 % av fallen kan inte frlikningsorganet n fram till en slutsats p grund av att det inte har behrighet i rttsliga frgor eller fr att det inte finns tillrcklig information. ven mnga av dessa rttelser blir domstolsfall.
Why corrections are contested 69. 
Varfr rttelserna r omtvistade 69.
Four Member States (Greece, Spain, France and Italy) account for 70 % of all cases submitted to the Conciliation Body (80 % by value). 
Fyra medlemsstater (Grekland, Spanien, Frankrike och Italien) str fr 70 % av alla fall som lmnats till frlikningsorganet (80 % av vrdet).
This is also in line with their share of the total corrections imposed (Graph 1). 
Detta verensstmmer ocks med deras andel av de totala rttelserna (diagram 1).
The benefits in terms of reduced corrections are proportional, some 200 million euro (75 %) of the total reduction. 
Andelen av frdelar i form av minskade rttelser r proportionell, ungefr 200 miljoner euro (75%)avdentotalaminskningen.
Most of the corrections submitted for conciliation were based on flat rates Ń for the period 1992 to 1995, 60 % by number and 70 % by value. 
De flesta av de rttelser som lmnats fr frlikning baserades p schablonbelopp Đ fr perioden 1992Đ1995 60 % av antalet och 70 % av vrdet.
There are a number of reasons why Member States go to conciliation over flat rates (3) : (a) increases in the corrections initially proposed by the Commission; (b) regional weaknesses: ÔcentralisedŐ Member States (as opposed to those with a regional network of controls and paying agencies) are particularly vulnerable as regards the application of flat rate corrections because findings related to a particular region are extrapolated nationally; (c) post-audit improvements: before the introduction of the reformed clearance of accounts system the Commission gave Member States a chance to prove that the situation upon which the proposed correction had been based had since improved and that in recognition of this the Commission would reduce the penalty even though the weaknesses were clearly applicable throughout the period to which the correction related. 
Det finns ett antal orsaker till att medlemsstaterna vljer frlikning nr det gller schablonsatser (3). a) kningar av de rttelser som ursprungligen freslagits av kommissionen. b) Regionala svagheter: ÓCentraliseradeÓ medlemsstater (i motsats till dem med ett regionalt ntverk av kontroller och utbe-talningsstllen) r srskilt srbara vad gller anvndningen av rttelser med schablonsatser eftersom granskningsresultat fr en viss region extrapoleras nationellt. c) Frbttringar efter revision: Innan det reformerade systemet fr avslutande av rkenskaperna infrdes gav kommissionen medlemsstaterna en chans att visa att den situation som den freslagna rttelsen baserats p hade frbttrats sedan dess och att kommissionen drfr skulle minska pfljden trots att svagheterna uppenbarligen gllde hela den period som rttelserna avsg.
Following criticism by the European Court of Auditors and the European Parliament, this approach was abandoned. 
Efter kritik frn Europeiska revisionsrtten och Europaparlamentet avskaffades detta tillvgagngsstt.
More recent cases demonstrate that unless improvements have had the desired effect, corrections for weaknesses may be repeated from one year to the next. 
Senare fall visar att om inte frbttringarna haft nskad effekt, kan rttelser av svagheter upprepas frn ett r till ett annat.

The European Court of Justice can only decide whether to uphold or annul. 
EG-domstolen kan endast besluta att antingen upprtthlla eller upphva.
It cannot recommend a change to the actual amount of the correction although in one case (C-253/97 concerning 96/IT/044 (olive oil)), it has stated that a higher correction could have been justified.

CLEARANCE DECISIONS Corrections as a performance indicator 74. 
BESLUT OM AVSLUTANDE AV RKENSKAPERNA Rttelser som en indikator p utfallet 74.
Under the reformed system the corrections have until now been considerably lower than they were under the old system (Graph 2). 
Med det reformerade systemet har rttelserna hittills varit avsevrt lgre n de var med det gamla systemet (diagram 2).
The European Parliament and the Committee of Independent Experts have expressed concern at the falling level of corrections. 
Europaparlamentet och den oberoende expertkommittn har uttryckt oro ver att mngden rttelser sjunker.
They read this as a sign that the CommissionŐs clearance of accounts unit may not be as effective as it was as a result of a decrease in coverage and/or quality of controls. 
De ser detta som ett tecken p att kommissionens enhet fr avslutande av rkenskaperna kanske inte r lika effektiv som tidigare till fljd av att kontrollerna ftt minskad tckning och/eller smre kvalitet.
There is little evidence to support such a theory. 
Det finns fga bevis fr denna teori.
Indeed, all the signs point the other way Ń the clearance unit has been considerably reinforced over the years and the reports produced are, for the most part, comprehensive and incisive. The European Court of Justice 71. 
I sjlva verket pekar alla tecken i andra riktningen Đ enheten fr avslutande av rkenskaperna har frstrkts avsevrt med ren och dess rapporter r till strsta delen omfattande och klarsynta.

Although the presentation is consistent it is also complicated. 
Trots att utformningen r konsekvent r den samtidigt komplicerad.
The key information that does not appear in the published decisions is the value of corrections, which can only be found in the unpublished summary document whereas the conformity decisions clearly show the value of corrections. 
En viktig uppgift som inte finns med i de offentliggjorda besluten r beloppet fr rttelserna, vilka endast framgr av de icke offentliggjorda sammanfattande dokumenten, medan dremot besluten om verensstmmelse med gemenskapsreglerna tydligt visar rttelsernas vrde.
The total value of corrections excluding late payments and other Ôauto-maticŐ corrections, (since they are not measures of the effectiveness of the clearance unit) should be the starting point for any comparisons. 
Rttelsernas totala vrde exklusive sena betalningar och andra ÓautomatiskaÓ rttelser (eftersom dessa inte r ett mtt p effektiviteten hos enheten fr avslutande av rkenskaperna) br vara utgngspunkten fr varje jmfrelse.
Table 6 presents these amounts for the years 1991 to 1998. Only years 1991 to 1995 are closed, the last corrections affecting the 1996 financial year may not be decided until the end of 2000. 
Tabell 6 visar dessa belopp fr ren 1991 till1998.Endastren1991till1995haravslutats,desenastert-telserna rrande budgetret 1996 kanske inte kommer att beslutas frrn i slutet av 2000.
A number of other factors also explain the apparent fall in the yearly value of corrections. 
Det finns ven ett antal andra faktorer som frklarar att det rliga vrdet p rttelserna tycks minska.
The very limited data available suggests that corrections made in the context of the financial decisions represent a very small part of the total corrections for a given year (see Graph 2). 
De mycket begrnsade uppgifter som finns tillgngliga tyder p att de rttelser som gjorts i samband med de finansiella besluten utgr en mycket liten del av de totala rttelserna fr ett visst r (se diagram 2).
The Commission has stated in a document produced in response to questions put to it by the Committee of Independent Experts that the financial clearance corrections concern Ômodest bookkeeping adjustments and other errorsŐ and that Ôthe reformed procedure necessarily leads to long delays in making final conformity corrections in respect of a given yearŐ. 
Kommissionen har i ett dokument som tagits fram som svar p frgor den ftt frn den oberoende expertkommittn hvdat att rttelserna i samband med det finansiella godknnandet av rkenskaperna avsg begrnsade bokfringsmssiga justeringar och andra fel, och att det reformerade frfarandet med ndvndighet leder till lnga tidsfrister fr slutliga beslut om rttelser avseende verensstmmelse med gemenskapsreglerna fr ett visst r.
The expenditure is cleared in the financial decisions without prejudice to subsequent conformity decisions which usually cover two or three years and are taken at irregular intervals as and when the conciliation procedure has run its course. 
Utgifterna godknns i de finansiella besluten utan att det pverkar senare beslut om verensstmmelse vilka vanligen omfattar tv eller tre r och fattas med oregelbundna intervaller nr frlikningsfrfarandet r avslutat.
The need to meet accreditation criteria, in particular regarding internal control, has increased/instilled a greater sense of responsibility for the protection of the CommunityŐs financial interests. 
Kravet p att ackrediteringskriterierna skall uppfyllas framfr allt vad gller internkontroll har kat/ingjutit en strre ansvarsknsla fr skyddet av gemenskapens ekonomiska intressen.
There can be no doubt that the implementation of the integrated administration and control system (IACS) has had a major impact on the prevention of irregular payments. 
Det kan inte rda ngon tvekan om att infrandet av det integrerade systemet fr administration och kontroll (IACS) har haft en betydande inverkan p frebyggandet av felaktiga betalningar.
The ex ante physical inspections on farm (5 % of area-based claims and 10 % of headage premium claims) lead to a large number of claims being penalised or rejected by the Member State before payment. 
De fysiska frhandskontrollerna p grdar (5 % av alla bidragsanskningar baserade p yta och 10 % av alla bidragsanskningar baserade p antal djur) ledde till att ett stort antal anskningar blev freml fr avdrag eller avvisades av medlemsstaterna fre betalning.
The use of techniques such as satellite remote-sensing, aerial photography, risk analysis and random sampling have a strong deterrent effect. 
Anvndningen av tekniker som fjrranalys med satellit, flygfotografering, riskanalys och slumpmssigt urval har en stark avskrckande effekt.
The Commission has undertaken only to make corrections if the Member States themselves fail to take timely corrective action for errors detected by the Certifying Bodies. 
Kommissionen har frbundit sig att endast gra rttelser om medlemsstaterna sjlva inte i tid vidtar korrigerande tgrder fr fel som upptcks av de attesterande organen.
