For example, they were not included in the country’s 2010-2015 PAR strategy. 
Till exempel ingick de inte i landets strategi fr reform av den offentliga frvaltningen fr 2010Đ2015.
In examining the sample of projects audited we noted little transfer of the operating structures’ cumulative knowledge and experience to the rest of the public administration. 
Nr vi granskade urvalet av projekt noterade vi att de samlade kunskaperna om och erfarenheterna av verksamhetsstrukturerna inte verfrdes i srskilt stor utstrckning till resten av den offentliga frvaltningen.
Thus the experience of decentralising management has not contributed significantly towards an overall improvement in administrative capacity in the country. 
Drfr har erfarenheterna av decentraliseringen av frvaltningen inte bidragit i ngon betydande grad till en allmn frbttring av den administrativa kapaciteten i landet.

Observations 28 Part III — The contribution of political dialogue to 37 Meetings are attended by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice President of the Commission (or her representative), the Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiation and Ministers or State Secretaries from the country. strengthening administrative capacity 56 We examined how the main structures created under the SAA for political dialogue between the Commission and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia were used to contribute towards strengthening administrative capacity. 
Iakttagelser 28 Del III Đ Den politiska dialogens bidrag till att strka 56 Vi underskte hur man anvnde sig av de huvudsakliga strukturer som inrttades enligt stabiliserings-och associeringsavtalet fr den politiska dialogen mellan kommissionen och f.d. jugoslaviska republiken Makedonien fr att bidra till att strka den administrativa kapaciteten.
We also examined the contribution made by political dialogue outside these formal structures and through alternative structures set up during the audited period to compensate for the absence of the framework for dialogue that would be provided by accession negotiations. 
Vi underskte ocks vilket bidrag den politiska dialogen gav utanfr dessa formella strukturer och genom alternativa strukturer som inrttades under den granskade perioden fr att kompensera fr att man inte hade den ram fr dialogen som anslutningsfrhandlingarna tillhandahller.
Although well organised, political dialogue did not contribute significantly to an overall strengthening of administrative capacity 57 The main structures for political dialogue were set up under the SAA. 
Den politiska dialogen var vlorganiserad men bidrog inte nmnvrt till att strka den administrativa kapaciteten generellt sett 57 De huvudsakliga strukturerna fr den politiska dialogen inrttades inom ramen fr SAA.
They are the Stabilisation and Association (SA) Council, the SA Committee, seven SA subcommittees and the Special Group on PAR. 
Strukturerna utgrs av stabiliserings-och associeringsrdet, stabiliserings- och associeringskommittn, sju SA-underkommitter och den srskilda gruppen fr reformen av den offentliga frvaltningen.
The Commission and the country meet regularly in these fora to address the need for progress on reform and the country’s insufficient capacity. 
Kommissionen och landet mts regelbundet i dessa forum fr att se till att reformen gr framt och fr att komma till rtta med landets otillrckliga kapacitet.
58 At the highest level, dialogue takes place in the SA Council37, both to assess progress towards meeting the political and economic criteria for accession (Copenhagen criteria) and on financial cooperation. 
58 Dialogen p hgsta niv sker i stabiliserings-och associeringsrdet37 som bde bedmer hur lngt landet har kommit med att uppfylla de politiska och ekonomiska kriterierna fr anslutning (Kpenhamnskriterierna) och med det ekonomiska samarbetet.
During the audited period, discussion often centred on the need to tackle the continuing obstacles to strengthening administrative capacity. 
Under den granskade perioden kretsade diskussionen ofta kring behovet av att undanrja de hinder som fortfarande stod i vgen fr att strka den administrativa kapaciteten.
Some of the key areas addressed were: (a) the need for policy improvements and better enforcement to obtain more concrete results in the fight against corruption; (b) the need to respect and build up the independence of the public administration, and (c) the need to apply the principles of transparency, merit and equitable representation at all levels in the country. 
En del av de nyckelomrden behandlades var fljande: a) Behovet av politiska frbttringar och bttre efterlevnad av lagstiftningen om man ska uppn konkretare resultat i korruptionsbekmpningen. b) Behovet av att respektera och bygga upp den offentliga frvaltningens oberoende. c) Behovet av att tillmpa principerna om ppenhet, meriter och rttvis representation p alla niver i landet.
Observations 29 59 Representatives of the Commission and the country also discussed weaknesses in administrative capacity at the annual meetings of the SA sub-committees and PAR Special Group. 
Iakttagelser 29 59 Fretrdare fr kommissionen och landet diskuterade ven brister i den administrativa kapaciteten vid rsmtena i SA-underkommitterna och den srskilda gruppen fr reformen av den offentliga frvaltningen.
Although the nature of discussions in all of the SAA structures for political dialogue intensified during the audited period, the issues remained the same. 
Diskussionerna i alla SAA-strukturer intensifierades visserligen under den granskade perioden men problemen kvarstod.
60 While the political dialogue structures set up under the SAA were well-suited to the accession process while it stayed on track, during the audited period they did not contribute successfully towards strengthening administrative capacity. 
60 De strukturer fr den politiska dialogen som inrttades inom ramen fr SAA passade visserligen anslutningsprocessen vl nr den fortfarande var i gng, men under den granskade perioden bidrog de inte p ngot framgngsrikt stt till att strka den administrativa kapaciteten.
This was partly because the national authorities lacked the political will to make progress. 
Det berodde delvis p att de nationella myndigheterna saknade politisk vilja att komma vidare.
It was also because the absence of formal progress towards accession reduced the Commission’s potential leverage to encourage the country to strengthen administrative capacity. 
Det berodde ven p att avsaknaden av formella framsteg mot anslutning minskade kommissionens potentiella mjlighet att uppmana landet att strka den administrativa kapaciteten.
For example, the framework provided by accession negotiations typically includes a screening exercise for each policy field (future negotiating chapter) to determine how well prepared the country is in that field. 
Till exempel inbegriper den ram som tillhandahlls vid anslutningsfrhandlingar i regel en granskning av varje politikomrde (framtida frhandlingskapitel) fr att man ska kunna avgra hur vl frberett landet r p omrdet.
Based on this exercise, the Commission can recommend that certain conditions (‘opening, interim and closing benchmarks’) be met before each chapter can be opened for negotiation or closed. 
Utifrn den granskningen kan kommissionen rekommendera att vissa villkor (ppningsriktmrken, interimistiska riktmrken och stngningsriktmrken) ska vara uppfyllda innan respektive kapitel kan ppnas fr frhandling eller stngas.
This structure does not currently exist in the country. 
Denna struktur finns fr nrvarande inte i landet.
Other dialogue mechanisms addressed the need to strengthen administrative capacity but did not result in progress towards removing the underlying obstacles 61 The Commission has consistently engaged with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in bilateral dialogue on specific topics of interest to the country. 
Andra dialogmekanismer tillgodosg behovet av att strka den administrativa kapaciteten men ledde inte till ngra framsteg nr det gllde att undanrja underliggande hinder 61 Kommissionen har fortlpande frt en bilateral dialog med f.d. jugoslaviska republiken Makedonien om srskilda teman av intresse fr landet.
Administrative staff from the ministries and the Commission have frequent exchanges on a broad range of issues. 
Administrativ personal frn ministerierna och kommissionen har haft mnga utbyten om en rad olika frgor.
This has given the country the opportunity to learn about EU methods and to understand EU policy on enlargement, and progress has been made in some sensitive areas. 
Det har gett landet mjlighet att f lra sig EU:s metoder och frst EU:s utvidgningspolitik, och vissa framsteg har ocks gjorts p en del knsliga omrden.
For example, the Commission helped the country to prepare and maintain a ‘track record’ of corruption cases. 
Till exempel hjlpte kommissionen landet att frbereda och dokumentera korruptionsfall.
This has had the positive effect of increasing the information available on corruption allegations which are followed up by the national authorities. 
Det arbetet hade den positiva effekten att den tillgngliga informationen om korruptionsmisstankar som fljs upp av de nationella myndigheterna kade.
However, the record does not provide information on allegations not followed up. 
Men dokumentationen innehller ingen information om misstankar som inte fljdes upp.
Observations 30 62 The Commission’s approach towards supporting enlargement countries changed in 2014, when dialogue was centralised in Directorate-General (DG) for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations. 
Iakttagelser 30 62 Kommissionens metod fr att ge std till utvidgningslnder ndrades 2014 nr dialogen centraliserades till GD Grannskapspolitik och utvidgningsfrhandlingar.
In most policy fields the country no longer engages in dialogue with the relevant Commission directorates-general, but with sector-specific centres of thematic expertise created as part of the 2015 reorganisation of DG for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations. 
P de flesta politikomrden har landet inte lngre ngon dialog med de berrda generaldirektoraten vid kommissionen utan med sektorspecifika centrum med tematiska expertkunskaper som inrttades som ett led i omorganisationen 2015 av GD Grannskapspolitik och utvidgningsfrhandlingar.
Another change is that, under IPA II, decentralised management in the transport and environment sectors is no longer supported by theDG for Regional and Urban Policy38. 
En annan frndring r att inom IPA II fr den decentraliserade frvaltningen i transport-och miljsektorerna inte lngre ngot std frn GD Regional-och stadspolitik38.
This is a matter of concern to those parts of the public administration concerned, which feel that they are now deprived of a major source of support for strengthening administrative capacity in the country. 
Det bekymrar de berrda delarna av den offentliga frvaltningen som anser att de har blivit av med ett viktigt std fr att strka landets administrativa kapacitet.
63 In the absence of the framework provided by accession negotiations (see paragraph 60) the country lost momentum for reform in many important areas. 
63 Det faktum att den ram som anslutningsfrhandlingarna tillhandahller (se punkt 60) saknades gjorde att landet tappade fart i reformarbetet p mnga viktiga omrden.
To counter this, the Commission has explored alternative ways of taking political dialogue forward. In 2012, it set up the High Level Accession Dialogue (HLAD) as a bridge to opening negotiations. 
Fr att motarbeta det har kommissionen utforskat alternativa stt att fra den politiska dialogen framt. r 2012 pbrjades en anslutnings-dialog p hg niv som en brygga fr att inleda frhandlingar.
Dialogue centred on targets agreed between the Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations and the Prime Minister39. 
Dialogen inriktades p ml som kommissionsledamoten fr europeisk grannskapspolitik och utvidgningsfrhandlingar och premirministern hade enats om39.
The HLAD covered similar issues to those raised in the SAA structures, including the need to strengthen administrative capacity and tackle obstacles to implementing reform. 
Dialogen omfattade liknande frgor som de som hade behandlats inom SAA-strukturerna, bland annat behovet av att strka den administrativa kapaciteten och undanrja hinder fr att genomfra reformer.
Following allegations of fraud in the 2012 legislative elections, the main opposition party boycotted parliament for more than two years. 
Efter misstankar om bedrgeri i parlamentsvalen 2012 bojkottade det strsta oppositionspartiet parlamentet i mer n tv r.
As a result, the HLAD was discontinued at political level from 2013 until September 2015, although some progress was made on technical issues. 
Det medfrde att anslutningsdialogen p hg niv avbrts frn 2013 till september 2015 ven om vissa framsteg gjordes i tekniska frgor.
64 Recognising the need to move forward despite the absence of a framework for dialogue, in 2013 the Commission stated that ‘upon invitation by the European Council’, it would be ready to begin preparatory work for ‘an analytical examination of the EU acquis beginning with the chapters on the judiciary and fundamental rights, and justice, freedom and security’40. This was not acted upon by the Council. 
64 Kommissionen var medveten om behovet av att komma vidare trots att det saknades en ram fr dialogen och uppgav 2013 att den Ó[p] uppmaning av Europeiska rdetÓ skulle vara redo att inleda det frberedande arbetet med en Óanalytisk granskning av EU:s regelverk genom att brja med kapitlen om rttsvsendet och grundlggande rttigheter och rttvisa, frihet och skerhetÓ40.
38 The DG for Regional and Urban Policy will resume this role when the country is considered to have moved closer to accession. 
38 GD Regional-och stadspolitik kommer att ta p sig den rollen nr landet anses ha kommit nrmare en anslutning.
39 The targeted areas include those within the scope of the audit: rule of law (including corruption policy) and fundamental rights, electoral reform, inter-ethnic relations, public administration reform (including human resource management, administrative procedures and decentralisation) and economic governance (including public finance management). 
39 De omrden som man riktade in sig p ingr i revisionens inriktning och omfattning: rttsstatsprincipen (inbegripet korruptionsbekmpning) och grundlggande rttigheter, valreformer, inhemska relationer mellan olika folk-grupper, reform av den offentliga frvaltningen (inbegripet personalfrvaltning, administrativa frfaranden och decentralisering) och ekonomisk styrning (inbegripet frvaltning av de offentliga finanserna).

Observations 31 65 Following the publication in 2015 of wiretapped recordings of official telephone conversations suggesting the involvement of government members in electoral fraud and other corrupt activities, the Commission promoted a return to the negotiating table to prevent further degeneration of the situation. 
Iakttagelser 31 65 Efter offentliggrandet 2015 av avlyssningar av officiella telefonsamtal som tydde p att regeringsmedlemmar var inblandade i valfusk och annan korrupt verksamhet uppmanade kommissionen parterna att tervnda till frhandlings-bordet fr att frhindra att situationen frvrras ytterligare.
During 2015 the Commission engaged in intensive dialogue with the country to find a way out of the current domestic crisis, which resulted in the EU-facilitated Przino Agreement between the main political parties. 
Under 2015 frde kommissionen en intensiv dialog med landet fr att frska hitta en vg ut ur den aktuella krisen i landet, vilket ledde till det EU-stdda Przinoavtalet mellan de strsta politiska partierna.
The Commission also presented the document ‘Urgent Reform Priorities’ to address systemic issues (see paragraph 9) in key areas such as rule of law and the judiciary, de-politicisation of the public administration and freedom of expression. 
Kommissionen lade ven fram dokumentet med brdskande reformprioriteringar fr att komma till rtta med systematiska problem (se punkt 9) p nyckelomrden som rttsstatsprincipen och rttsvsendet, avpolitiseringen av den offentliga frvaltningen och yttrandefrihet.
66 The engagement of the Commission in the current crisis provides it with the opportunity to obtain government commitments on tackling the long-standing obstacles to strengthening administrative capacity in the country. 
66 Genom sitt tagande under den aktuella krisen har kommissionen mjlighet att f regeringens tagande att ta itu med de hinder som lnge har sttt i vgen fr att strka den administrativa kapaciteten i landet.
Conclusions and 32 recommendations 67 We conclude that there was relatively limited progress in strengthening administrative capacity in key areas during the audited period. 
Slutsatser och 32 rekommendationer 67 Vi drar slutsatsen att det frekom relativt begrnsade framsteg nr det gllde att strka den administrativa kapaciteten p nyckelomrden under den granskade perioden.
Working in a difficult context, the Commission did not, for many of the projects examined, sufficiently ensure the effectiveness of their contribution towards strengthening administrative capacity. 
Nr det gllde mnga av de granskade projekten frskrade sig kommissionen p grund av de svra frutsttningarna inte tillrckligt om att deras bidrag var ndamlsenligt och strkte den administrativa kapaciteten.
68 All of the projects audited in the PAR sector included activities designed to strengthen administrative capacity but they did not succeed in addressing sufficiently many weaknesses. 
68 Alla granskade projekt inom sektorn fr reformen av den offentliga frvaltningen inbegrep verksamheter som skulle strka den administrativa kapaciteten men de tgrdade inte mnga brister tillrckligt.
For some key areas in which strong legislation already existed (for example, internal control and the development of a professional, independent civil service) there was little assistance under IPA during the period audited and there was no significant progress on implementing that legislation. 
P vissa nyckelomrden dr det redan fanns en stark lagstiftning (till exempel internkontroll och utveckling av en professionell och oberoende offentlig frvaltning) frekom endast litet std inom IPA under den granskade perioden och inga strre framsteg gjordes i tilllmpningen av denna lagstiftning.
In other key areas (such as the fight against corruption and public procurement procedures) IPA projects had little impact in the absence of active support from the national authorities (see paragraphs 23 to 33). 
P andra nyckelomrden (till exempel korruptionsbekmpning och frfaranden fr offentlig upphandling) hade IPA-projekten liten effekt d det saknades aktivt std frn de nationella myndigheterna (se punkterna 23Đ33).
Recommendation 1 Concrete assistance for ranked priorities The Commission should concentrate its assistance for strengthening administrative capacity on ranked priorities that take account of significant weaknesses in key areas. 
Rekommendation 1 Konkret std till rangordnade prioriteringar Kommissionen br koncentrera sitt std fr att strka den administrativa kapaciteten till rangordnade prioriteringar som tar hnsyn till stora brister p nyckelomrden.
Examples of areas in which we noted a need for improvement during our audit are: (i) efficiency of the public procurement system, for example by further developing electronic procurement; (ii) transparency of public spending, for example by improving the availability and quality of data on corruption cases reported in order to allow scrutiny by civil society and the wider public; (iii) internal control, for example by improving the standing and professional skills of internal auditors. 
Exempel p omrden som behver frbttras som konstaterades under revisionen: i) Effektiviteten i systemet fr offentlig upphandling, till exempel genom vidareutveckling av elektronisk upphandling. ii) Insynen i offentliga utgifter, till exempel genom kad tillgnglighet till och bttre kvalitet p uppgifter om rapporterade korruptionsfall fr att mjliggra civilsamhllets och en bredare allmnhets granskning. iii) Internkontrollen, till exempel genom en strkt stllning och kad kompetens fr internrevisorerna.
69 In the environment and especially in the transport sectors few of the audited projects addressed capacity-building to improve alignment with the EU acquis. 
69 Inom milj-och srskilt transportsektorn handlade f av de granskade projekten om kapacitetsuppbyggnad fr att frbttra anpassningen till EU:s regelverk.
Others aimed to strengthen administrative capacity through ‘learning by doing’ but did not include activities clearly designed to support this objective (see paragraphs 34 to 36). 
Andra projekt syftade till att strka den administrativa kapaciteten genom lrande genom praktiskt arbete (learning by doing) men inbegrep inte aktiviteter som var tydligt utformade fr att stdja det mlet (se punkterna 34Đ36).
Conclusions and recommendations 33 Recommendation 2 Intensified efforts to strengthen capacity In the transport and environment sectors, the Commission should: (i) intensify efforts to strengthen administrative capacity to contract, implement and manage projects, for example by providing tailored training for contracting authorities, better promoting ‘learning by doing’ activities and providing wider access to JASPERS; (ii) secure strong commitment from the national authorities to bring national legislation into line with EU legislation and strengthen the link between capacity-building and EU support. 
Slutsatser och rekommendationer 33 Rekommendation 2 Fler insatser fr att strka kapaciteten Inom transport-och miljsektorerna br kommissionen i) intensifiera insatserna fr att strka landets administrativa kapacitet att upphandla, genomfra och frvalta projekt, till exempel genom skrddarsydd utbildning till upphandlande myndigheter, frmjande av verksamheter fr lrande genom praktiskt arbete (learning by doing) och strre tkomst till Jaspers, ii) skra ett starkt tagande frn de nationella myndigheterna att anpassa den nationella lagstiftningen till EU:s regelverk och strka kopplingen mellan kapacitetsuppbyggnad och EU-std.
70 The projects we audited were generally sound and well-managed, but results were often only partially achieved or not adequately followed up. 
70 De granskade projekten var i allmnhet stabila och frvaltades vl, men ofta uppndde de endast delvis resultat eller s fljdes de inte upp tillrckligt.
Most projects delivered the planned outputs, but these were often not fully exploited. 
De flesta projekten levererade planerad output men den utnyttjades sllan till fullo.
Frequently the projects achieved only limited impacts and were not always sustainable. 
Ofta fick projekten endast begrnsade effekter och var inte alltid hllbara.
Impact was also weakened because the projects were ambitious and spread across a wide range of priorities (see paragraphs 37 to 40). 
Effekterna frsvagades ocks av att projekten var ambitisa och utspridda ver mnga olika prioriteringar (se punkterna 37Đ40).
