As regards the quantitative aspect, the models used show a positive impact by projects, in terms of jobs, output, income and investment, on the regions concerned and on other regions and on the economy of the beneficiary Member State. 
P det kvantitativa planet visar de modeller som tillmpats att projekten haft gynnsamma effekter p de berrda regionerna, liksom p andra regioner och p den mottagande medlemsstatens ekonomi nr det gller sysselsttning, produktion, inkomster och investeringar.
They also show, albeit less clearly, a positive impact on cohesion and convergence (see paragraphs 99 to 108). 
De visar ven, om n mindre tydligt, p gynnsamma effekter p sammanhllningen och konvergensen (se punkterna 99Đ108).
In view of these encouraging results, the Commission should attempt to concentrate its management on a medium-term planning perspective which would offer more guidance and continuity, and should endeavour to perfect the tools for the macroeconomic evaluation of the projects and of the CF as a whole (see paragraphs 109 to 117). 
Mot bakgrund av dessa positiva resultat br kommissionen koncentrera sin frvaltning till planering p medellng sikt i syfte att stadkomma en mer aktiv och sammanhngande programplanering samt frbttra instrumenten fr makroekonomisk utvrdering av projekten och av Sammanhllningsfonden som helhet (se punkterna 109Đ117).
2.10.2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 279/5 INTRODUCTION Description of the Cohesion Fund 1. 
2.10.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 279/5 INLEDNING Presentation av Sammanhllningsfonden 1.
The Cohesion Fund (CF), provided for in Article 130d of the Maastricht Treaty and preceded, on a provisional basis, by the Cohesion Financial Instrument, was established in May 1994 by Council Regulation (EC) No 1164/94 (1). 
Sammanhllningsfonden, som freskrivs i artikel 130d i Maastrichtfrdraget och som fregicks av ett provisoriskt finansieringsorgan fr sammanhllning, inrttades i maj 1994 genom rdets frordning (EG) nr 1164/94 (1).
The objective of this Regulation is to strengthen the economic and social cohesion of the European Union and its beneficiaries are those Member States in which the gross national product (GNP) per inhabitant is less than 90 % of the Community average and which have set up a convergence programme, i.e. Spain, Greece, Ireland and Portugal. 
Dess syfte r att strka den ekonomiska och sociala sammanhllningen i Europeiska unionen och den ger std till de medlemsstater vilkas bruttonationalinkomst (BNI) per invnare r lgre n 90 % av genomsnittet i gemenskapen och som har infrt ett konvergensprogram, dvs. Grekland, Irland, Portugal och Spanien.
The CF contribution is linked, in accordance with Article 6 of the Regulation, to the macroeconomic conditions stipulated in Article 104 of the Treaty and is designed to avoid excessive gov-ernmentdeficits. 
Sammanhllningsfondens bidrag r i enlighet med artikel 6 i frordningen om fonden knutna till de makroekonomiska villkor som freskrivs i artikel 104 i frdraget och som syftar till att undvika alltfr stora underskott i de offentliga finanserna.
Following the decision by the Edinburgh European Council in December 1992, the CF received financial support totalling EUR 15 150 million at 1992 prices for the 1993 to 1999 period, which was to provide financial support to the beneficiary countries for the implementation of two types of individual investment project: (a) projects in the field of the environment which contribute, on the one hand, to achieving the goals of Community environmental policy as defined in the EC Treaty, in particular in accordance with the Directives now in force concerning the environment and, on the other hand, to meeting the priorities set out in the action programme on the environment and sustainable development; (b) transport infrastructure projects designed to put in place or extend transport infrastructure as part of the trans-European transport network (TEN) or to provide access to the TEN. 
Till fljd av ett beslut av Europeiska rdet i Edinburgh i december 1992 tillhandahller Sammanhllningsfonden ett finansiellt std till ett belopp p 15 150 miljoner euro enligt 1992 rs prisniv fr perioden 1993Đ1999, vilket skall gra det mjligt att finansiellt stdja de mottagande medlemsstaterna vid genomfrandet av enskilda investeringsprojekt av tv slag: a) Projekt p miljomrdet som bidrar till att  ena sidan uppn mlen fr gemenskapens miljpolitik vilka fastslagits i EG-frdraget, srskilt i enlighet med de direktiv som gller p miljomrdet,  andra sidan till att de prioriteringar som fastslagits i tgrdsprogrammet fr miljn och en hllbar utveckling fljs. b) Projekt fr transportinfrastruktur som syftar till att inrtta och utveckla transportinfrastruktur inom ramen fr det transeuropeiska transportntet (TEN) eller till att skapa tilltrde till TEN.
An appropriate balance (2) must be found, for the whole of the period 1993 to 1999, between the financing of transport infrastructure projects and the financing of environmental projects. 
En lmplig balans (2) mste stadkommas mellan finansieringen av projekt avseende transportinfrastruktur och projekt p miljomrdet fr hela perioden mellan 1993 och 1999.
An indicative allocation of the resources available from the CF for each beneficiary Member State is set out in the Annex to the Regulation. 
En beskrivning av frdelningen av de disponibla medlen frn Sammanhllningsfonden fr varje medlemsstat som erhller std terfinns i bilagan till frordningen om fonden.
The principle of co-financing by the EU and the beneficiary Member State applies, with the CF financing as much as 80 to 85 % of the total public expenditure relating to each of the projects. 
Principen om samfinansiering mellan EU och frmnslandet tillmpas d Sammanhllningsfonden finansierar 80Đ85 % av de totala offentliga utgifterna fr varje projekt.
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 1164/94 of 16 May 1994 (OJ L 130, 2 25.5.1994). () In a communication addressed to the Council, the European Parliament, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions in 1995 (COM(95) 509 final), the Commission clarified its position on this balance. 
(1) Rdets frordning (EG) nr 1164/94 av den 16 maj 1994, EGT L 130, 2 25.5.1994. () I ett meddelande till rdet, Europaparlamentet, Ekonomiska och sociala kommittn och Regionkommittn frn 1995 (KOM(95) 509 slutlig) har kommissionen klargjort sin instllning vad gller denna balans.
The Commission considers that a 50/50 distribution must be sought, in partnership with the Member States, between environmental and transport projects for the whole of the period. 
Kommissionen anser att en frdelning p 50/50 mellan miljprojekt och transportprojekt br efterstrvas fr hela perioden under medverkan av medlemsstaterna.
This objective must not, however, be seen in too rigid a light, as a certain flexibility must be maintained in order to make allowance for special situations. 
Detta ml br dock inte tolkas alltfr strikt, utan en viss flexibilitet br garanteras fr att man skall kunna ta hnsyn till speciella situationer.
The CF is characterised by a project approach based on three main principles: (a) the Commission alone is responsible for the approval of projects and their implementing provisions and also for the evaluation of the potential and real impact of their implementation and, once they have been completed, it is also the Commission which is responsible for approving the final implementation report. 
Sammanhllningsfonden knnetecknas av ett projektbaserat tillvgagngsstt som bygger p tre huvudsakliga principer: a) Endast kommissionen har befogenhet att godknna projekten och bestmmelserna fr deras genomfrande, samt att bedma den potentiella och verkliga effekten av deras genomfrande. Nr dessa genomfrts skall kommissionen ven godknna den slutliga genomfranderapporten.
Within this framework, the Commission may draw upon the assistance of experts should it not dispose of such expertise; (b) with regard to monitoring and controls, a monitoring committee has been set up for each beneficiary Member State to allow discussion, once or twice a year, of technical questions relating to any amendments to the projectsŐ financing plans or various other matters concerning, amongst other things, intermediate payments; (c) eligibility,asdefinedunderArticle3oftheCFRegulation,was also the subject of Ôprinciples governing the eligibility of expenditure within the framework of projects supported by the Cohesion FundŐ. 
I detta sammanhang kan kommissionen bitrdas av experter vilkas kompetens inte finnstillgngligviddessavdelningar. b) Nr det gller uppfljning och granskning har man fr varje medlemsstat inrttat en vervakningskommitt som gr det mjligt att en eller tv gnger om ret behandla tekniska aspekter av vissa ndringar av finansieringsplanerna fr projekten eller andra frgor av olika slag som srskilt rr lpande utbetalningar. c) Det stdberttigande som definieras i artikel 3 i frordningen om Sammanhllningsfonden r vidare freml fr principer fr utgifters stdberttigade inom ramen fr projekt som erhller std frn Sammanhllningsfonden.
The beneficiary Member States were notified of these principles, which take the distinctive features of this instrument into consideration, in May 1998. 
Dessa principer, som meddelades mottagarlnderna i maj 1998, tar hnsyn till de srskilda dragen hos detta instrument.
Scope of the audit 5. 
Granskningens omfattning 5.
The overall objective of the CourtŐs audit was to examine the management by the Commission of the CF, on the one hand, and its implementation in the Member States, on the other. 
Det allmnna mlet fr revisionsrttens granskning har varit att granska  ena sidan kommissionens frvaltning av Sammanhllningsfonden och  andra sidan dess genomfrande i medlemsstaterna.
Apart from the legality and regularity of the operations co-financed by the CF, the investigation also included an evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of the projects involved and also of the complementarity of CF projects with other structural actions such as the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). 
Frutom lagligheten och korrektheten hos de transaktioner som samfinansierats av Sammanhllningsfonden har underskningen ven besttt i en bedmning av effektiviteten och ndamlsenligheten hos de berrda projekten samt det komple-mentra frhllandet mellan de projekt som lyder under Sammanhllningsfonden och vriga strukturella tgrder ssom Europeiska regionala utvecklingsfonden (ERUF).
Although itwasnotthegoaloftheinquirytomakeadirectevaluationof the CFŐs impact, certain findings are reported which have been noted by experts with regard to the results obtained and the impact produced by the CF. 
Trots att granskningen varit avsedd som en direkt utvrdering av Sammanhllningsfondens effekt tar den hnsyn till vissa resultat som konstaterats av experter betrffande de resultat och effekter som uppntts med hjlp av Sammanhllningsfonden.
The inquiries were carried out in the CommissionŐs offices and in the four beneficiary Member States. 
Granskningen har genomfrts vid kommissionens avdelningar och i fyra mottagarlnder.
They covered a selection of 37 of the 181 projects which had been closed at the beginning of the year 1998 or were in the process of completion. 
Den har gllt ett urval p 37 av de 181 projekt som avslutades i brjan av 1998 eller som hll p att slutfras.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BUDGET Financial development 6. 
BUDGETGENOMF RANDE Finansiell utveckling 6.
An initial budget of EUR 1 500 million was adopted in 1993. 
En ursprunglig budget p 1,5 miljarder euro antogs 1993.
In 1999 it amounted to EUR 2 600 million. 
1999 faststlldes den till 2,6 miljarder euro.
Taking the budgetary resources carried over from previous financial years into account, a total budget of

C 279/6 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 2.10.2000 EUR 2 800 million was available to the CF in 1998 for commitment appropriations. 
C 279/6 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 2.10.2000 Sammanhllningsfonden 1998 ver en budget p sammanlagt 2,8 miljarder euro fr tagandebemyndiganden.
The implementing provisions featured in the CF Regulation emphasise that payments in support of approved projects of a duration of two years or more are to be made in accordance with the following rules: (a) an advance of up to 50 % of the amount of the first annual instalment committed must be paid following the adoption of the decision granting Community assistance; (b) intermediate payments may be paid provided that the project is progressing satisfactorily towards completion and that at least two-thirds of the expenditure relating to the previous payment has been made. 
I de tillmpningsfreskrifter som terfinns i frordningen om Sammanhllningsfonden understryks att betalningar fr godknda projekt som omfattar tv r eller mer utfrs enligt fljande bestmmelser: a) Ett frskott p upp till 50 % av det anslagna beloppet fr den frsta rliga utbetalningen betalas ut nr beslut om beviljande av gemenskapsstd har fattats. b) Lpande utbetalningar fr ske frutsatt att projektet p ett tillfredsstllande stt framskrider mot sin fullbordan och att tminstone tv tredjedelar av de utgifter som hnfr sig till tidigare utbetalning har verkstllts.
None of these payments may exceed 50 % of the amount of each annual instalment committed. 
Ingen av dessa utbetalningar fr verstiga 50 % av beloppet fr varje rlig del fr vilken taganden gjorts.
Furthermore, the total amount of the intermediate payments for all the instalments may not exceed 80 % of the total assistance granted. 
Vidare fr det sammanlagda beloppet fr lpande utbetalningar fr samtliga betalningar inte verstiga 80 % av det totalt beviljade stdet.
In the case of large projects and in justified cases this percentage may be increased to 90 %; (c) the balance of the Community assistance is paid, provided: Ń the project, stage of the project or group of projects, has been carried out in accordance with the objectives, Ń thefinalapplicationforpaymentissubmittedtotheCom-mission within six months of the physical completion of the project, stage of project or group of projects, Ń the final report is submitted to the Commission, Ń the Member State certifies to the Commission that the information given in the application for payment and in the report is correct. 
Denna procent-satsfrkastill90%frviktigaprojektochivlgrundade fall. c) Slutbetalningar av gemenskapsstd skall verkstllas under frutsttning att Ń projektet, projektstadiet eller projektgruppen har genomfrts i enlighet med dess ml, Ń denslutligaanskanomutbetalningverlmnastillkom-missionen inom sex mnader efter projektets, projektstadiets eller projektgruppens faktiska fullbordan, Ń den slutliga rapporten verlmnas till kommissionen, Ń medlemsstaten intygar fr kommissionen att de uppgifter som lmnats i anskan om utbetalning samt rapporten r korrekta.
The CommissionŐs payments are made to the authority or body designated by the Member State and are made, as a general rule, not later than two months after receipt of an admissible application for payment. 
Kommissionens betalningar grs vid den myndighet eller det organ som utsetts av medlemsstaten och sker i regel senast tv mnader efter att en godtagbar anskan om utbetalning har erhllits.
Financial assistance began on 1 April 1993, the date on which the Cohesion Financial Instrument came into effect(1) and remained in force until 26 May 1994, the date on which the Regulation setting up the CF came into effect. 
Det finansiella stdet pbrjades den 1 april 1993, datumet fr inrttandet av finansieringsinstrumentet fr sammanhllning (1) som var i bruk till den 26 maj 1994, d frordningen om inrttandet av Sammanhllningsfonden trdde i kraft.
The analysis of financial implementation within the framework of the CF does not apply in full until the year 1995 which is actually the first complete year in which the mechanisms provided for in the CF Regulation were applied in their entirety. 
Analysen av det finansiella genomfrandet inom ramen fr Sammanhllningsfonden r inte helt och hllet tillmplig frrn frn och med 1995, vilket var det frsta hela ret d de mekanismer som freskrivs i frordningen fr Sammanhllningsfonden tillmpades fullt ut.
The expenditure charged by the Commission to the CF budget heading, which is managed by the CommissionŐs Regional Policy Directorate-General, is characterised by a systematic concentration of commitments and payments at the end of the financial year and by a very low level of financial activity during the first quarter. 
De utgifter som skrivits in av kommissionen under budgetrubriken fr Sammanhllningsfonden, som frvaltas av kommissionens generaldirektorat fr regionalpolitik knnetecknas av att tagandena och betalningarna systematiskt koncentreras till slutet av budgetret, samt av en mycket begrnsad finansiell verksamhet under det frsta kvartalet.
In the course of the period 1995 to 1998 an average of 38,9 % of the amounts committed and 47,7 % of the amounts paid in respect of the financial year were committed or paid in the two last months of the year, while the first quarter shows an average of 18,3 % for commitment appropriations and 4,8 % for payment appropriations. 
Under perioden 1995 till 1998 gjordes taganden fr i genomsnitt 38,9 % av de belopp fr vilka taganden gjordes och betalningar fr 47,7 % av de belopp som betalades fr budgetret under rets sista tv mnader, medan det frsta kvartalet visar ett genomsnitt p 18,3 % fr tagandebemyndigandena och 4,8 % fr betalningsbemyndigandena.
The utilisation of the CF appropriations also shows great variations between the numerous approvals of projects at the beginning of the period and a smaller number of new projects adopted at the end of the period. 
Anvndningen av anslagen fr Sammanhllningsfonden uppvisar ven kraftiga variationer mellan de mnga beslut om godknnanden av projekt som fattades i brjan av perioden och ett minskat antal nya antagna projekt i slutet av perioden.
Thus, in 1998, commitments for new CF projects fell considerably in favour of allocations to projects approved in the course of the preceding years. 
1998 minskade sledes tagandena avseende nya projekt inom ramen fr Sammanhllningsfonden kraftigt till frmn fr projekt som godkntsunderfregender.
As Table 1 shows, there are still substantial amounts awaiting settlement and these cause uncertainty about the use of payment appropriations within the framework of the financial year concerned. 
Som framgr av tabell 1terstr betydande belopp att reglera, vilket skapar stor oskerhet rrande anvndningen av betalningsbemyndiganden inom ramen fr budgetret i frga.
In fact, as future financial movements in respect of these amounts cannot be estimated with any certainty, the Commission cannot identify sufficiently early in the year the amount of payment appropriations available for new projects. 
Eftersom framtida finansiella rrelser avseende dessa belopp inte med skerhet kan frutses frmr inte kommissionen tillrckligt tidigt p ret faststlla beloppet fr disponibla betalningsbemyndiganden fr de nya projekten.
There is a risk that these amounts to be settled could momentarily hinder the payment of advances for new projects. 
Dessa utestende belopp riskerar fr nrvarande att hindra utbetalningen av frskott fr nya projekt.
Although, in principle, Annex II to the CF Regulation, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1265/1999, is designed to allow an improvement in the management of the use of annual appropriations in respect of the period 2000 to 2006, it will not entirely resolve the above problem for the budget years in which the period 1994 to 1999 will be closed. 
Trots att bilaga II i frordningen om Sammanhllningsfonden, ndrad genom frordning (EG) nr 1265/1999, i princip br gra det mjligt att bttre styra anvndningen av de rliga anslagen under perioden 2000Đ2006 kommer den inte att helt och hllet lsa det ovannmnda problemet fr de budgetr under vilka perioden 1994Đ1999 kommer att avslutas.
(1) A Special Report on the Cohesion Financial Instrument, published in OJ C 59 of 8 March.1995, has already reported numerous shortcomings in the implementation of this instrument. 
(1) Redan i en srskild rapport om finansieringsinstrumentet fr sammanhllning som offentliggjordes i EGT C 59, 8.3.1995 ppekades tskilliga brister i samband med genomfrandet av detta instrument.
This unequal distribution of appropriations between the two fields can be explained by some very large projects in a particular sector, by difficulties encountered in respect of public contracts, by the somewhat slow integration of the environmental dimension in the programming of sustainable development and by the small scale of the environment projects. 
Denna differentierade frdelning av anslagen mellan de bda omrdena kan frklaras med frekomsten av mycket omfattande projekt inom en bestmd sektor, av svrigheter i samband med offentliga avtal, av ett tmligen lngsamt infrlivande av miljdimensionen i programplaneringen av hllbar utveckling eller av den minskade skalan hos projekten p miljomrdet.
The provisions of Article 10(2) of the Regulation establishing the CF stipulate an appropriate balance of Community finance between projects relating to the environment and those relating to transport infrastructure over the entire period between 1993 and 1999. 
Bestmmelserna i artikel 10.2 i frordningen om inrttande av Sammanhllningsfonden freskriver att en lmplig balans vad gller gemenskapens finansiering skall rda mellan projekt p miljomrdet och projekt avseende transportinfrastruktur under hela perioden mellan 1993 och 1999.
Table 2, which covers the entire period 1993 to 1998, shows that, overall, an even distribution of appropriations between
