The Commission will examine the question of taking account of the salaries of civil servants; (b) since the restructuring of the management of the LIFE programme, the number of delayed payments has gradually been reduced; (c) an effort has been made in the context of LIFE III to ensure better financial arrangements for projects; (d) the Commission is prepared to review the terms and conditions regarding land purchased by non-public beneficiaries (9 %). 
Kommissionen kommer att underska frgan om huruvida tjnstemnnens lner skall beaktas. b) Efter det att Life-programmets frvaltning omstrukturerats har antalet frsenade betalningar successivt minskat. c) Inom ramen fr Life III har det gjorts insatser fr att se till att projekten finansieras p ett bttre stt. d) Kommissionen r beredd att se ver villkoren nr det gller mark som kpts av andra n offentliga stdmottagare (9 %).
The Commission considers that the management of the LIFE programme has substantially improved since its restructuring. (a) The Commission intends to clarify the role of LIFE-Environment in relation to the sixth environmental action programme (sixth EAP). (b) The integrated management of the instrument has proved to be effective. (c) Whenever the Commission has considered it necessary to use external experts, it has applied a tender procedure. (d) The Commission considers that the recently adapted Standard Administrative Provisions (SAP) fully comply with the new Financial Regulation and are adequate. 
Kommissionen anser att frvaltningen av Life-programmet har frbttrats kraftigt sedan omstruktureringen. a) Kommissionen har fr avsikt att frtydliga den roll som Life-Milj har i frhllande till sjtte miljhandlingsprogrammet. b) Instrumentets integrerade frvaltning har visat sig vara effektiv. c) Nr kommissionen har ansett det ndvndigt att anlita externa experter har det utlysts en anbudsinfordran. d) Kommissionen anser att de nyligen antagna administrativa standardfreskrifterna till fullo verensstmmer med den nya budgetfrordningen och att de r ndamlsenliga.
The Commission is nevertheless ready to study the CourtŐs recommendations in a future revision of the SAP. (e) Apart from regular technical and financial monitoring visits (by technical/financial desks and external teams) as well as financial audits by DG EnvironmentŐs Financial Unit, an external audit of the final statement of expenditure is obligatory for all projects funded under LIFE III. (f) The communication strategy is being implemented and has already led to tangible results. 
Kommissionen kan dock beakta revisionsrttens rekommendationer vid en framtida revision av de administrativa standardfreskrifterna. e) Vid sidan av regelbundna besk fr tekniska och ekonomiska kontroller (av tekniska/ekonomiska samordnare och externa grupper) liksom ekonomisk granskning som utfrs av GD Miljs ekonomienhet, mste det genomfras en extern granskning av den slutliga utgiftsberkningen fr alla projekt som finansieras inom ramen fr Life III. f) Kommunikationsstrategin hller p att genomfras och har redan givit konkreta resultat.
LIFE is an instrument which consumes a small portion of the Community budget (around 0,15 %) and which has developed significantly over a 10-year period. 
Endast en mindre del av gemenskapsbudgeten gr till Life (omkring 0,15 %), som har utvecklats kontinuerligt under en period p tio r.
It has made it possible to build up a considerable amount of positive experience. 
Programmet har gjort det mjligt att samla mycket omfattande positiv erfarenhet.

Special care has always been taken to the extent possible to avoid overlaps with other Community funding instruments and to ensure complementarity between LIFE and other Community instruments. 
I strsta mjliga utstrckning har man anstrngt sig fr att undvika verlappningar med andra av gemenskapens finansieringsinstrument och fr att se till att Life och andra gemenskapsinstrument kompletterar varandra.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LIFE PROGRAMME 17. 
LIFE-PROGRAMMETS UTMRKANDE DRAG 17.
In each field of action, LIFE projects must contribute towards improving the protection of the environment on the basis of Community directives. 
Inom alla tgrdsomrden skall Life-projekten bidra till att frbttra miljskyddet p grundval av gemenskapsdirektiv.
To ensure compliance with this objective, the Commission, when selecting projects, takes pains to select them on the basis of their contribution to implementing Community law in their respective fields of activities. 
Fr att detta ml skall uppns ser kommissionen till att det vljs ut projekt med hnsyn till deras bidrag till genomfrandet av gemenskapslagstiftningen p respektive verksamhetsomrde.
This is an essential (eliminatory) criterion for choosing LIFE projects. 
Det rr sig om ett avgrande kriterium (uteslutningskriterium) fr val av Life-projekt.
The Commission considers that the improvements achieved since 2001 justify the reorganisation of the management of the entire LIFE programme, including the financial project management, within one single unit. 
Kommissionen anser att de frbttringar som gjorts sedan 2001 motiverar omorganiseringen av hela Life-programmets frvaltning, ven den ekonomiska projektfrvaltningen, s att en enda enhet svarar fr frvaltningen.
The Commission has taken specific steps to ensure close cooperation between the LIFE unit and the thematic units of the Directorate-General for the Environment which cover the fields of action of the LIFE programme. 
Kommissionen har vidtagit srskilda tgrder fr att se till att det bedrivs ett intensivt samarbete mellan Life-enheten och de temaenheter inom GD Milj som tcker Lifes tgrdsomrden.
Due to the late adoption of the LIFE III Regulation, it was impossible to organise a call for proposals and a selection procedure to be terminated before the end of the year 2000. 
Eftersom frordningen om Life III antogs sent var det inte mjligt att hinna genomfra en anbudsinfordran och ett urvalsfrfarande fre slutet av r 2000.
The unused commitment appropriations of 2000 were consequently carried over to 2001 and consumed at a rate of 90 %. 
De oanvnda tagandebemyndigandena fr r 2000 frdes sledes ver till 2001 och utnyttjades till 90 %.
The ratio is below the threshold of 3 % in the case of LIFE-Environment (2,4 %) and LIFE-Third Countries (2,6 %). 
Andelen r mindre n trskeln p 3 % nr det gller Life-Milj (2,4 %) och Life-Tredje land (2,6 %).
As a consequence of the experience gained in the management of the LIFE II programme, the Commission came to the conclusion that the 3 % ratio for accompanying measures was insufficient. 
P grundval av den erfarenhet som vunnits vid frvaltningen av Life II-programmet drog kommissionen slutsatsen att andelen p 3 % fr kompletterande tgrder var fr liten.
Consequently, the ratio was raised to 5 % in the LIFE III Regulation. 
Drfr kades den till 5 % i frordningen om Life III.
By May 2003, the number of open files with expired commitments had decreased to 21. 
I maj 2003 hade antalet oavslutade renden med taganden som lpt ut minskat till 21.
For 15 of these commitments, there will be either an automatic decommitment (done within six months after the final payment) or a recovery procedure is in progress. 
Fr 15 av dessa taganden kommer det antingen att bli frga om automatisk frigrelse (inom sex mnader efter slutbetalningen) eller s pgr ett frfarande fr att terkrva medlen.
The remaining six commitments concern problematic projects for which the Commission has requested further information from the beneficiary or a financial audit, or which are currently under final examination. 
De terstende sex tagandena gller problematiska projekt. I dessa fall har kommissionen begrt ytterligare information frn stdmottagaren eller en ekonomisk granskning, eller s pgr en slutgranskning av projekten.
SELECTION OF PROJECTS 30. 
URVAL AV PROJEKT 30.
As from the financial year 2003 the Commission selects experts on the basis of a call for applications. 
Frn och med budgetret 2003 genomfr kommissionen anbudsinfordringar fr att vlja ut experter.
The LIFE unit is currently preparing a call for tender. 
Life-enheten hller fr nrvarande p att frbereda en anbudsinfordran.
For the entire period of LIFE III, the CVs have certainly been kept systematically. 
Meritfrteckningar har systematiskt sparats under hela den period som Life III pgtt.
In this period, the LIFE unit closely examines the CVs of the external experts and contracts with the external experts include a Ôdec-laration of independenceŐ to be signed by the expert. 
Life-enheten granskar nu noggrant de externa experternas merit-frteckningar, och de avtal som ings med externa experter inbegriper en frklaring om oberoende (Ódeclaration of indepen-denceÓ), som skall undertecknas av experterna.
The Commission has taken the necessary actions to overcome these weaknesses under LIFE III. 
Kommissionen har vidtagit ndvndiga tgrder fr komma tillrtta med svagheterna i Life III.
In 2001, the Commission introduced a transparent computerised evaluation system (ÔESAPŐ) to manage the pre-decision phase of LIFE-Environment proposals. 
2001 infrde kommissionen ett datoriserat utvrderingssystem som medger insyn (ÓESAPÓ) fr fasen innan det fattas beslut om frslag avseende Life-Milj.
ESAP covers the entire evaluation, selection and award procedure, from the online registration of the initial proposal until the generation of the decisions. 
ESAP omfattar hela frfarandet fr utvrdering, urval och tilldelning, frn och med online-registreringen av ett frslag till det att beslut fattas.
Under LIFE III, the evaluations are carried out independently by at least two people. 
Minst tv personer genomfr oberoende av varandra utvrderingar inom ramen fr Life III.
Decisions are then taken collectively at a meeting between the LIFE units and the Nature unit where all the proposals are reviewed one by one and commented upon. 
Besluten fattas drefter gemensamt vid ett mte med fretrdare fr Life-enheterna och Natur-enheten, dr alla frslag gs igenom var fr sig och kommenteras.
The CourtŐs finding highlights the difficulty of combining simplicity and precision. 
Revisionsrttens rapport visar att det r svrt att frena enkelhet och precision.
There has been a progressive, continuous and pragmatic effort to improve the evaluation procedure. 
Det har gjorts progressiva, kontinuerliga och pragmatiska insatser fr att frbttra utvrderingsfrfarandet.
The LIFE Committee has accepted that a good balance has been struck between the need for transparency/objectivity and quality of the projects with respect to the objectives of the LIFE Regulation. 
Life-kommittn har konstaterat att det uppntts en bra balans mellan behovet av ppenhet/objektivitet och projektkvalitet med hnsyn till Life-frordningens ml.
For the next evaluation round (projects to be financed in 2004), the Commission will publish the details of the evaluation criteria also for LIFE-Third countries. 
Vid nsta utvrderingsomgng (projekt som skall finansieras under 2004) kommer kommissionen att offentliggra detaljerad information om utvrderingskriterierna ven fr Life-Tredje land.

Under LIFE III, Member States have been informed about the detailed criteria used by the Commission in its selection. 39. 
39. nas Nr det gller Life III har medlemsstaterna informerats de detaljerade kriterier som kommissionen tillmpar vid urva-Via ESAP ges hdanefter information om medlemsstater-utvrderingar inom Lifes tre temaomrden.
The procedures have been modified for LIFE III-Environment, and Directorates-General RTD, REGIO, TREN, AGRI, ENTR, ELARG are being involved in an inter-service consultation on the proposals. 
Frfarandena har ndrats fr Life III-Milj. GD Forskning, Regionalpolitik, Energi och transport, Jordbruk, Nringsliv och Utvidgning deltar i ett samrd inom kommissionen om frslagen.
This contributes to a more comprehensive verification of financial and technical reliability of the participants and reduces the risk of double-funding. 
Detta bidrar till en mer omfattande kontroll av deltagarnas ekonomiska och tekniska tillfrlitlighet och minskar risken fr dubbelfinansiering.
Where the LIFE unit detects elements that give rise to the assumption of double-financing, the case is further examined and/, if necessary, the file is transmitted to OLAF. 
Om Life-enheten skulle upptcka frhllanden som gr att dubbelfinansiering kan misstnkas granskas rendet ytterligare och om ndvndigt verfrs det till OLAF.
Since the entry into force of the LIFE III programme, the obligations of beneficiaries as regards the keeping of accounts for projects (see reply to point 61) and the recording of working time (see reply to point 49(b)) have been reinforced. 
Sedan Life III-programmet trdde i kraft har stdmottagarnas skyldigheter skrpts nr det gller srskild bokfring fr projekt (se svaret i punkt 61) och registrering av arbetstid (se svaret i punkt 49.b).
Since the beneficiary has failed to inform the Commission, it was virtually impossible for DG Environment to identify such double-funding. 
Eftersom stdmottagaren inte informerat kommissionen var det i praktiken omjligt fr GD Milj att konstatera sdan dubbelfinansiering.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECTS 46. 
PROJEKTENS GENOMF RANDE 46.
For LIFE II-Nature projects, detailed SAP have existed since 1996 and have served as the basis for the harmonised SAP for LIFE III. 
Fr projekt inom Life II-Natur har det funnits detaljerade administrativa standardfreskrifter sedan 1996 som utgjort grunden fr de harmoniserade administrativa standardfreskrifterna fr Life III.
The Commission is confident that this single set of rules for the administration and management of LIFE projects constitutes a substantial improvement and contribution to the performance of the Commission services managing the LIFE programme. 
Kommissionen r vertygad om att denna uppsttning bestmmelser om administration och frvaltning av Life-projekt r en kraftig frbttring och ett viktigt bidrag till resultaten fr de kommissionsavdelningar som frvaltar Life-programmet.
They have simplified and clarified the rules for the project beneficiaries. 
De har frenklat och frtydligat bestmmelserna fr stdmottagare.
Based on the CourtŐs observations during the audit phase, the Commission has once again reviewed the SAP in 2002. 
P grundval av revisionsrttens iakttagelser under granskningen sg kommissionen terigen ver de administrativa standardfreskrifterna under 2002.

At present, there is no reason to disallow the costs incurred, if the expenditure is provided for in the project budget, if the person concerned has worked on the project and this work has been sufficiently documented by time records. 
I dagslget finns det inte ngot skl att under-knna utgifter som uppsttt om utgiften finns med i budgeten fr projektet, den ifrgavarande personen har arbetat med projektet och detta arbete r tillrckligt dokumenterat genom tidrapporter.
The part of the salaries borne by the public institution can be considered as co-financing. 
Den del av lnen som betalats av en offentlig institution kan betraktas som medfinansiering.
The Commission will, nevertheless, examine the conditions concerning the Community contribution for the intervention of civil servants in LIFE-Nature projects. 
Kommissionen kommer dock att underska villkoren fr gemenskapsbidrag nr det gller offentliga tjnstemns deltagande i projekt inom Life-Natur.

Whenever required, the CourtŐs specific remarks have been or are being taken into account in the management of the individual project files. (a) The correct application of this rule is being monitored. 
Nr s krvs har revisionsrttens synpunkter beaktats/beaktas revisionsrttens synpunkter vid frvaltningen av enskilda pro-jektrenden.
The analysis of the figures shows that the positive development already visible in 2001 following the creation of the LIFE unit has continued to improve in 2002. 
Analysen av siffrorna visar att den positiva utveckling som mrktes redan under 2001, efter det att Life-enheten inrttades, har fortsatt under 2002.
Adequate measures have been introduced to overcome this problem. 
Det har vidtagits lmpliga tgrder fr att komma tillrtta med detta problem.
Now, whenever an outstanding reply is overdue, the responsible desk officer is alerted by a computerised monitoring and control tool (see point 55 ÔButlerŐ) and is therefore automatically required to take the necessary follow-up steps. (c) (i) (ii) 50. the Commission has already solved this problem by modifying the SAP in 2002. 
Nr fristen fr svar lpt ut kommer den ansvarige samordnaren nu att uppmrksammas p detta genom ett datoriserat vervaknings-och kontrollverktyg (se punkt 55 ÓButlerÓ) och det krvs drfr automatiskt att han vidtar uppfljningstgrder. a) b) c) Det undersks om denna bestmmelse tillmpats p ett korrekt stt.
The following Article 6(5) was introduced: ÔAll invoices by subcontractors shall include a clear reference to the LIFE project (i.e. number and title or short title) and to the order/ subcontract issued by the beneficiary/partner. 
Fljande text frdes in som artikel 6.5: ÓRkningar frn underentreprenrer skall omfatta en tydlig hnvisning till Life-projektet (t.ex. projektnummer och titel eller kortform av titeln) och till den bestllning/det entreprenrsavtal som stdmottagaren/parten utfrdat.
All invoices shall also be sufficiently detailed as to allow identification of single items covered by the service delivered (i.e. clear description and cost of each item).Ő 51. 
Rkningarna skall vara tillrckligt detaljerade fr att mjliggra identifiering av enskilda punkter som omfattas av den utfrda tjnsten (dvs. en tydlig beskrivning och kostnadsangivelse fr varje punkt).Ó 51.
The Commission considers that the revised depreciation rules applicable under LIFE III (eligible costs represent 25 % of the purchase costs for infrastructure and 50 % for equipment costs) are appropriate in view of the peculiarities of the programme. 
Kommissionen anser att de omarbetade nedskrivningsbe-stmmelserna fr Life III (de stdberttigande kostnaderna uppgr till 25 % av inkpskostnaderna fr infrastruktur och 50 % av kostnaderna fr utrustning) r lmpliga med tanke p programmets srskilda karaktr.
They take account of the fact that several beneficiaries of LIFE projects are public entities, which often do not apply depreciation on durable goods but register the full purchase price as expenditure at the moment of the acquisition. 
De tar hnsyn till det faktum att flera stdmottagare inom Life-projekt r enheter inom den offentliga sektorn, som ofta inte tillmpar bestmmelser om nedskrivning av kapi-talvaror, utan i stllet registrerar hela inkpspriset som en utgift vid frvrvet.
The Commission considers that the present rule meets the need to simplify the method of how durable goods are accounted for, both at the time of the evaluation and selection of the project proposal as well as at the moment of interim and/or final payment procedures. 
Kommissionen anser att den gllande bestmmelsen tillgodoser behovet av att frenkla metoden fr hur kapitalvaror redovisas, bde vid projektfrslagens utvrdering och urval och vid frfarandena fr delutbetalning och/eller slutbetalning.
The Commission will however examine the feasibility of introducing a more precise, but still simple, method for the calculation of the eligible costs for durable goods if the LIFE programme is continued. 
Om Life-programmet fortstter kommer kommissionen dock att underska om det r mjligt att infra en precisare, men fortfarande enkel, metod fr att berkna de stdberttigande kostnaderna fr kapitalvaror.
In addition, the 2003 standard administrative provisions have been modified (Article 13(2)) in order to include the obligation for the beneficiary to obtain the written agreement of the Commission before any substantial modification of the funding plan while a project is being carried out. 
I vrigt har de administrativa standardfreskrifterna fr 2003 ndrats (artikel 13.2), s att stdmottagaren nu mste erhlla kommissionens skriftliga godknnande innan han gr strre ndringar av finansieringsplanen under projektets gng.
Based on the information received from the Court during the audit phase, the Commission has also taken action to investigate the case further. 
P grundval av den information som inkommit frn revisionsrtten under granskningen har kommissionen vidtagit tgrder fr att underska saken vidare.
The standard administrative provisions applicable to the LIFE III programme require beneficiaries to keep specific accounts. 
Enligt de administrativa standardfreskrifterna fr Life III-programmet mste stdmottagarna ha srskild bokfring.
Appropriate steps have been taken following the CourtŐs remarks concerning this project. 
Det har vidtagits lmpliga tgrder fr att flja upp revisionsrttens kommentarer angende detta projekt.

In the second case referred to by the Court, the Community contribution was partially recovered and the beneficiary was included in the list of organisations excluded from LIFE funding until clear proof was received that the administrative deficiencies were eliminated and a reliable accounting system installed. 
Nr det gller det andra rende som revisionsrtten tar upp terkrvdes en del av gemenskapens bidrag, och stdmottagaren togs med i frteckningen ver organisationer som utesluts frn Life-finansiering till dess att det inkommer tydliga bevis fr att de administrativa bristerna tgrdats och det infrts ett tillfrlitligt redovisningssystem.
On the occasion of an additional financial verification, the Commission could establish that the beneficiary had meanwhile introduced a new and effective accounting system comprising the necessary tools for analytical and thus project specific accounting. 
Vid en ytterligare ekonomisk kontroll kunde kommissionen konstatera att stdmottagaren hade infrt ett nytt och effektivt bokfringssystem med de ndvndiga verktygen fr analytisk och sledes ven projektspecifik redovisning.
The thorough examination of proposed costs for land purchase according to clearly established written and published rules constitutes an essential part of the evaluation procedure for LIFE-Nature project proposals. 
En grundlig genomgng av freslagna kostnader fr markinkp enligt tydliga skriftliga och offentliggjorda regler r en vsentlig del av utvrderingsfrfarandet fr projektfrslag inom Life-Natur.
There is always a notarial clause of alienation of the land to ÔNatureŐ and 91 % of the land is purchased by public bodies. 
Det finns alltid en srskild klausul om verltelse av marken till Natur och 91 % av marken kps av offentliga organ.
In the case of the small percentage of land (9 %) which is not purchased by public bodies but essentially by nature protection NGOs, the Commission is prepared to examine measures offering even more guarantees than at present (notarial clause of alienation). 
Fr den lilla procent av marken (9 %) som inte frvrvats av offentliga organ utan frmst av icke-statliga organisationer som gnar sig t naturskydd, r kommissionen villig att underska nnu skrare tgrder n dem som tillmpas i dagslget.
