7.6.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 136/3 SUMMARY I. The Socrates and Youth for Europe programmes have been allocated budgetary funds of 920 million euro and 126 million euro respectively. 
7.6.2002 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 136/3 SAMMANFATTNING I. I budgeten beviljades programmen Sokrates och Ungdom fr Europa 920 miljoner euro respektive 126 miljoner euro i anslag.
They have contributed to a strengthening of cooperation between universities in the European Union and in the other participant countries and have made multicultural exchange activi-tiespossibleforthebenefitofyoungpeople. 
Programmen har bidragit till att strka samarbetet mellan universitet inom unionen och vriga deltagande lnder och gjort det mjligt att genomfra tgrder fr att frmja mngkulturellt utbyte fr ungdomar.
Nevertheless, the CourtŐs audit has revealed weaknesses in the design of the two programmes and shortcomings in the management of their implementation. Design weaknesses III. 
Trots detta visar revisionsrttens granskning p svagheter i utformningen av de tv programmen och brister i det stt p vilket deras genomfrande frvaltats.
The two programmes Socrates (paragraphs 10 to 14) and Youth for Europe (YfE) (paragraphs 15 to 18) both suffer from shortcomings in their design. 
Brister i utformningen III. Utformningen av de tv programmen Sokrates (punkterna 10Đ14) och Ungdom fr Europa (punkterna 15Đ18) uppvisar brister.
The design of the Socrates programme, in particular, is complex, with a heterogeneous array of 38 actions, sub-actions and measures. 
Srskilt Sokratesprogrammet har en komplex uppbyggnad som knnetecknas av en heterogen samling av 38 tgrder, undertgrder och verksamheter.
In consequence the programme was interpreted in different ways and cooperation between the Member States became more complicated. 
Detta har inneburit att programmet har tolkats p olika stt av deltagarna och att samarbetet mellan medlemsstaterna frsvrats.
Likewise, the absence of definitions of criteria and parameters has made it difficult to evaluate the results obtained following implementation of the programmes. 
Likas har avsaknaden av faststllda kriterier och parametrar frsvrat utvrderingen av de resultat som uppntts tack vare att programmen genomfrts.
Furthermore, the design did not include an appropriate framework for producing synergy from the various Community programmes. 
Dessutom har det saknats en lmplig ram fr att organisera samordningen av de olika gemenskapsprogrammen.
The Commission manages a certain number of actions from Brussels, which, for this reason, are referred to as centralised, through a technical assistance office (TAO), while those subject to decentralised management in the Member States and other beneficiary countries are run through national agencies (NAs). 
Frn Bryssel frvaltar kommissionen med hjlp av en byr fr tekniskt std ett antal tgrder som benmns centraliserade, medan tgrder med decentraliserad frvaltning frvaltas med hjlp av nationella kontor i medlemsstaterna och vriga mottagarlnder.
In both cases, the management system was marked by various types of shortcomings (paragraphs 25 and 51). 
I bda fallen har frvaltningssystemet haft brister av olika slag (punkterna 25 och 51).
V. The delegation of responsibilities to the TAO gave rise to weaknesses which the Court was to come across repeatedly: irregularities in the delegation of responsibility, both with regard to the principle of delegation and the form its implementation took, various confusions of interest and risks for the CommunityŐs assets, and the costly nature of the management. The situations which arose from this were, however, nothing like as serious as those encountered in other Community programmes (paragraphs 25 to 36). 
V. Delegeringen av befogenheter till en byr fr tekniskt std har gett upphov till brister som visserligen inte varit av s allvarlig art som i andra gemenskapsprogram men som revisionsrtten hr mtt p ett terkommande stt: oegentligheter nr befogenheter delegerats, bde betrffande principen om delegering och betrffande bestmmelserna fr delegeringens genomfrande, sammanblandning av olika intressen och risk fr gemenskapens egendom samt hga kostnader fr frvaltningen (punkterna 25Đ36).
With regard to the decentralised actions, their implementation suffered both from the absence of a legal framework setting out the precise division of responsibilities between the Commission and the Member States and of an appropriate status for the NAs, which, in the majority of cases, did not have adequate means at their disposal to carry out the tasks entrusted to them (paragraphs 39 to 51). 
Genomfrandet av de decentraliserade tgrderna har frsvrats av avsaknaden av en rttslig ram som noggrant faststller frdelningen av ansvar mellan kommissionen och medlemsstaterna och dessutom av att det saknats en lmplig stadga fr de nationella kontoren vilka i flertalet fall inte heller frfogat ver de medel somkrvtsfruppgifternadetilldelats(punkterna39Đ51).
Delays and shortcomings in implementation VII. 
Frseningar och brister i genomfrandet VII.
Because of the time required by the legislator to adopt the relevant decisions, the start of the two programmes was delayed and there were delays in the implementation of new actions because of the lack of structures and of an appropriate information policy (paragraphs 19 and 21). 
P grund av den tid lagstiftaren behvde fr att fatta beslut blev starten av de tv programmen uppskju-ten, och eftersom det saknades lmpliga strukturer och riktlinjer fr information frdrjdes genomfrandet av nya tgrder (punkterna 19 och 21).
Implementation was hampered by the use of unsuitable IT network systems (paragraph 51). 
Genomfrandet har hindrats av dligt anpassade datasystem (punkt 51).
Management shortcomings were found in the majority of the 27 NAs audited and, at the TAO, from the selection of projects to the monitoring of their implementation. These failings were aggravated by the lack of 
Bristfllig frvaltning har ptrffats vid flertalet av de 27 nationella kontor som granskats och vid granskningen av byrn fr tekniskt std, frn urval av projekt till uppfljning av projektens genomfrande. Bristerna
C 136/4 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 7.6.2002 any genuine control and evaluation culture on the part of the managing bodies, both national (paragraphs 53 to 56) and Community (paragraphs 75 to 83). 
C 136/4 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 7.6.2002 har gynnats av att det inte funnits ngon tradition av kontroll och utvrdering hos vare sig de nationella frvaltarna (punkterna 53Đ56) eller gemenskapsfrvaltarna (punkterna 75Đ83).
For instance, the audit identified several projects where the Court notified the European Anti-fraud Office (OLAF) of suspicions of fraud (paragraphs 74 and 98). 
Vid granskningen har slunda flera projekt identifierats dr misstanke om bedrgeri har franlett revisionsrtten att gra en anmlan till Europeiska byrn fr bedrgeribekmpning (OLAF) (punkterna 74 och 98).
On a more general level, these weaknesses had negative consequences for the results and the overall impact of the measures (paragraphs 63 to 65, 80 to 83, 91 and 92), although they cannot always be quantified due to the absence of relevant statistical data. 
Mer allmnt har bristerna haft en negativ inverkan p tgrdernas resultat och vergripande effekt (punkterna 63Đ65, 80Đ83 och 91Đ92), ven om avsaknaden av relevant statistik innebr att dessa inte alltid kan mtas.
This is the case for the Youth for Europe programme, where it is impossible to verify whether the wish expressed by the European legislator, that help should be given to disadvantaged young people, has been fulfilled (paragraphs 17 and 68). 
Detta gller fr programmet Ungdom fr Europa dr det inte r mjligt att skerstlla att den europeiske lagstiftarens uttalade vilja att stdja missgynnade ungdomar har respekterats (punkterna 17 och 68).
The contracting procedure and the management and monitoring of study and evaluation contracts revealed serious deficiencies and irregularities occurred at both Commission and contractors level (paragraphs 91 to 102). 
Avtalsfrfarandet liksom frvaltningen och vervakningen av avtal om studier och utvrdering uppvisade allvarliga brister, och det frekom oegentligheter bde vid kommissionen och hos avtalsparterna (punkterna 91Đ 102).
Education, training and youth are some of the European UnionŐs top-priority policy areas, in so far as their objective is to contribute to the development of qualifications and employment and to bring Europe closer to its citizens (1). 
Grundutbildning, vidareutbildning och ungdom rknas till Europeiska unionens prioriterade politikomrden eftersom de syftar till att bidra till kompetensutveckling och sysselsttning och att fra Europa nrmare medborgarna (1).
In this respect, the Socrates and Youth for Europe (YfE) programmes were a key component of the European UnionŐs strategy for education and cooperation in the field of youth during the period from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 1999. 
Hr har programmen Sokrates och Ungdom fr Europa under perioden 1 januari 1995 till 31 december 1999 utgjort en vsentlig komponent i Europeiska unionens strategi fr utbildning och samarbete p ungdoms-omrdet.
These two programmes, which are open to the countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the applicant countries, form part of a corpus of measures designed to further the process of enlargement of the European Union. 
Dessa tv program, som r ppna fr Europeiska frihandelssammanslutningen (Efta) liksom fr kandidatlnderna, ingr bland de tgrder som syftar till att frmja ett framgngsrikt genomfrande av Europeiska unionens utvidgningsprocess.
They have been extended for the period from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006. 
Programmen har frlngts fr perioden 1 januari 2000 till 31 december 2006.
Indicative financial allocations of 1 850 million euro and 520 million euro have been set aside for Socrates and YfE respectively (2). 
Finansieringsramen fr Sokrates uppgr till 1 850 miljoner euro och fr Ungdom fr Europa till 520 miljoner euro (2).
(1) The base Decision No 819/95/EC establishing the Community action programme Socrates refers to the CommissionŐs Green Paper on introducing the European dimension of education in schools and to the CommissionŐs White Paper, in the light of which the European Council adopted in 1993 an action plan of growth, competitiveness and employment. 
(1) I det grundlggande beslutet nr 819/95/EG som faststller gemenskapens tgrdsprogram Sokrates hnvisas till kommissionens grnbok vars syfte r att infra en europeisk dimension i skolundervisningen, och till kommissionens vitbok som ledde till att Europeiska rdet 1993 antog en tgrdsplan fr tillvxt, konkurrenskraft och sysselsttning.
The base Decision No 818/95/EC adopting the third phase of the Youth for Europe programme referred in particular to the conclusions of the European Councils of 1992 and 1993, which underline the requirement that support should be given to activities todeveloptheindependenceandcreativityofyoungpeopleandto combat exclusion and racism, particularly through the education of youngpeople.InthecourseofimplementationoftwoCommunity programmes other political developments have taken shape in the field of European education, with the publication in 1996 of, amongst other things, the ÔWhite Paper:Ő Teaching and learning, towards the learning society, and the ÔGreen Paper on the obstacles to transnational mobility in EuropeŐ, and with the Commission Communica-2 tion in 1997 ÔTowards a Europe of knowledgeŐ.

Legal framework 2. 
Rttslig ram 2.
The Community action programme Socrates was established by Decision No 819/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) of 14 March 1995 and amended by Decision No 576/98/EC (4) of 23 February 1998. 
Gemenskapens tgrdsprogram Sokrates faststlldes genom Europaparlamentets och rdets beslut nr 819/95/EG (3) av den 14mars1995,ndratgenombeslutnr576/98/EG(4)avden 23 februari 1998.
ÔIntended to contribute to the development of quality educationŐ and an open European area for cooperation in education, it is mainly aimed at higher education (Erasmus) and school education (Comenius) but also includes horizontal activities. 
Med avsikten att Óbidra till utvecklingen av en god utbildningÓ liksom till skapandet av ett ppet europeiskt omrde fr samarbete p utbildningsomrdet, vnder det sig framfrallt till hgre utbildning (Erasmus) och till skolutbildning (Comenius) men innehller ven vergripande tgrder.
The Community action programme YfE, which was also adopted on 14 March 1995 by Decision No 818/ 95/EC of the European Parliament and the Council, is the CommunityŐs special instrument for encouraging cooperation policy in the youth field and contributing Ôto the educational process of young peopleŐ by means of five actions involving exchanges and cooperation projects set up by young people from various Community countries, but from third countries as well (5). 
Gemenskapens tgrdsprogram Ungdom fr Europa, som ocks antogs den 14 mars 1995 genom Europaparlamentets och rdets beslut nr 818/95/EG, r gemenskapens frmsta verktyg fr att stdja samarbete p ungdomsomrdet och fr att Óbidra till utvecklingen av utbildning av god kvalitetÓ genom fem tgrder som gller utbyte och samarbetsprojekt som tas fram av ungdomar frn olika medlemsstater och ocks frn lnder utanfr gemenskapen (5).
Financial allocations 3. 
Finansieringsramar 3.
The budget for the implementation of the Socrates programme, initially set at 850 million euro, was increased to 920 million euro by Decision No 576/98/EC. 
Finansieringsramen fr genomfrande av Sokratesprogrammet som ursprungligen uppgick till 850 miljoner euro hjdes till 920 miljoner euro genom beslut nr 576/98/EG.
The budget for the implementation of the Youth for Europe programme amounted to 126 million euro. 
Fr programmet Ungdom fr Europa uppgr den till 126 miljoner euro.
In the end, the budgetary funds allocated to these two programmes will come to 998 million euro and 141 million euro respectively, essentially because of the opening of the two programmes to associated countries. 
Till slut kommer de budgetmedel som anslagits till bda programmen att uppg till 998 miljoner euro fr Sokratesprogrammet respektive 141 miljoner euro fr programmet Ungdom fr Europa, huvudsakligen beroende p att bgge programmen ppnats fr lnder utanfr gemenskapen.

7.6.2002 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 136/5 Granskningens omfattning 4.
Audits were carried out in the CommissionŐs departments (DG Education and Culture), the TAO common to both programmes, in seven Member States (Germany, Spain, France, Greece, Italy,LuxembourgandtheUnitedKingdom)whichincludedthe five main beneficiaries, in 27 national management structures and on the premises of final beneficiaries. 
Granskningarna har genomfrts vid kommissionens enheter (GD Utbildning och kultur), vid byrn fr tekniskt std som r gemensam fr bda programmen, i sju medlemsstater (Frankrike, Frenade kungariket, Grekland, Italien, Luxemburg, Spanien och Tyskland) varav fem av staterna r de strsta mottagarna, vid 27 nationella frvaltningsstrukturer och hos slutmottagare.
The audit focused in particular on the management system applied to the implementation of the two programmes (1995 to 1999) and was carried out by means of an examination of five key measures for Socrates (Erasmus: Actions 1 and 2; Comenius: Action 1; Lingua: Action E; Open and distance learning) and two actions for YfE (Actions A1 and D), which were targeted in the context of the audit. 
Granskningen har srskilt avsett frvaltningssystemet fr genomfrandet av de tv programmen (1995Đ1999) genom underskning av fem nyckeltgrder inom Sokrates (Erasmus: tgrd 1 och 2, Comenius: tgrd 1, Lingua: tgrd E, ppen undervisning och undervisning p distans) och tv tgrder inom Ungdom fr Europa (tgrd A. I och tgrd D) som utgjort granskningens ml.
The actions selected for Socrates represent 76 % of this programmeŐs budget, those for YfE covered 75 % of the budget. 
De tgrder inom Sokrates som valts ut motsvarar 76 % av detta programs budget, och inom Ungdom fr Europa str de fr 75 % av budgeten.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BUDGET FOR THE PROGRAMMES Socrates 6. 
GENOMF RANDE AV PROGRAMMENS BUDGET Sokrates 6.
At 31 December 1999, appropriations amounting to 992 million euro had been committed, i.e. a utilisation rate of 99 %, and payment appropriations amounting to 938 million euro had been utilised, which represents a rate of implementation of 92 %. 
Den 31 december 1999 hade taganden gjorts fr motsvarande 992 miljoner euro vilket innebr en utnyttjandegrad p 99 %, och betalningsbemyndiganden fr 938 miljoner euro hade anvnts vilket innebr en utnyttjandegrad p 92 %.
Table 1 summarises the budgetary implementation of commitments and payments by year. 
I tabell 1 visas budgetgenomfrandet per r fr taganden och betalningar.
Payment appropriations amounting to 54 million euro lapsed. 
Betalningsbemyndiganden motsvarande 54 miljoner euro hade frfallit.
Youth for Europe 7. 
Ungdom fr Europa 7.
Opening the YfE programme to associated countries resulted in the appropriations being increased for the same reason. 
Att programmet Ungdom fr Europa ppnats fr de associerade lnderna har p samma stt lett till att anslagen kats.
The budget appropriations available amounted to 141 million euro for commitments and 135 million euro for payments. 
De tillgngliga anslagen i budgeten uppgick till 141 miljoner euro fr taganden och 135 miljoner euro fr betalningar.
Utilisation of appropriations came to 134 million euro for commitments (95 %) and 118 million euro for payments (87 %). 
Av anslagen fr taganden utnyttjades 134 miljoner euro (95 %) och av anslagen fr betalningar 118 miljoner euro (87 %).
Table 2 shows the budgetary implementation of commitments and payments by year. 
I tabell 2 visas budgetgenomfrandet per r fr taganden och betalningar.
Differences between sources of budgetary information 8. 
Differenser mellan underlagen till budgetuppgifter 8.
Examination of the implementation of the budget revealed a difference between the various sources of information (see Table 3). 
Granskningen av budgetgenomfrandet har uppdagat skillnader beroende p var uppgifter hmtats (se tabell 3).
The overall amounts given by the general budget of the European Union in respect of the implementation of the budget of the Socrates programme are thus less than those given by the revenue and expenditure account and the balance sheet (difference of 51 million euro). 
De sammanlagda beloppen i Europeiska unionens allmnna budget fr genomfrandet av budgeten fr Sokratesprogrammet r lgre n de belopp som anges i inkomst-och utgiftsredovisningen och balansrkningen (en skillnad p 51 miljoner euro).
The difference is explained by the fact that the amount entered in the revenue and expenditure account is for all the expenditure effected for the benefit of all the participant countries, whereas the budget only takes the figures for the part of implementation that corresponds to the allocation for 15 Member States of the Union. 
Denna skillnad frklaras av att beloppet i inkomst-och utgiftsredovisningen gller samtliga utgifter fr alla deltagande lnder, medan budgeten upptar enbart utgifterna fr anslagen till unionens femton medlemsstater.
The financial distribution presented in the CommissionŐs final report on the implementation of the Socrates programme (1) is limited to the EU Member States, rather than all the countries participating. 
I kommissionens slutrapport om genomfrandet av Sokratesprogrammet (1) presenteras en ekonomisk frdelning som begrnsats till tgrder enbart i Europeiska unionens medlemsstater och inte i samtliga deltagande lnder.

Frdelning av utnyttjade anslag per tgrd 9.
Table 4 shows the utilisation of the appropriations committed, by action, for the implementation of the Socrates programme. 
I tabell 4 anges utnyttjandet av anslag fr vilka taganden gjorts frdelade per tgrd fr genomfrandet av Sokratesprogrammet.
It shows that as regards the thresholds applicable to the various chapters the requirements of the base Decision No 819/95/EC have been complied with at the level of the resources to be committed. Details of the commitment appropriations for YfE by action are contained in Table 5. 
Av tabellen framgr att kraven i det grundlggande beslutet nr 819/95/EG p vilka trskelvrden som skall tillmpas fr de olika kapitlen har iakttagits nr det gller anslagna medel. tagandebemyndigandena fr Ungdom fr Europa anges i detalj i tabell 5.
Due to the lack of an appropriate breakdown of the accounting classification, it was not possible for the audit to verify whether, in accordance with the terms of Decision No 818/95/EC establishing YfE, at least a third of the appropriations allocated within the framework of the programmeŐs Action A (intra-Community activities directly involving young people) had been used for the benefit of disadvantaged young people. 
Eftersom kontoplanen inte p ett ndamlsenligt stt visar hur anslagen frdelas har man vid granskningen inte kunnat skerstlla huruvida, i enlighet med beslut nr 818/95/EG, minst en tredjedel av beviljade anslag inom ramen fr tgrd A i programmet (verksamheter inom gemenskapen som direkt involverar ungdomar) har anvnts fr missgynnade ungdomar.
THE DESIGN OF THE PROGRAMMES Socrates 10. Although education is the responsibility of the Member States, the Community, under Article 149 of the EC Treaty, must contribute to the development of quality education and training in an open European area for cooperation in education. 
PROGRAMMENS UTFORMNING Sokrates 10. ven om utbildning ingr i medlemsstaternas befogenhets-omrde skall gemenskapen i enlighet med artikel 149 i EG-frdraget bidra till utvecklingen av utbildning av god kvalitet och skapandet av ett ppet europeiskt omrde fr samarbete i utbildningsfrgor.
The objective of the Socrates programme is to encourage cooperation between the Member States by supporting their activities and supplementingthemwherenecessary.
