In the case of the programmes committed in annual instalments, the mechanism for the Community commitments would only have allowed the 1999 instalment to be committed if the actual expenditure incurred by the final beneficiaries represented 100 %, 80 % and 40 % of the expenditure relating to the instalments for 1994 to 1996, 1997 and 1998 respectively (5). 
Fr programmen med taganden fr rliga delar hade mekanismen i gemenskapens taganden endast gjort det mjligt att utnyttja 1999 rs del om slutmottagarnas faktiska utgifter uppgick till 100 %, 80 % och 40 % av utgifterna fr delarna 1994Đ1996, 1997 och 1998 (5).
Inviewoftheimplementationdelays,thefinancialplanswere therefore brought into line with the real situation (substantial cuts totheannualinstalmentsfortheperiod1994to1998),soasto make it possible for the balance on the programmes to be committed in full. 
P detta stt har de finansiella planerna, p grund av frsenat genomfrande, anpassats till den verkliga situationen (betydande minskning av de rliga delarna 1994Đ1998) s att taganden har kunnat gras fr programmens hela restbelopp.
Moreover, the changes that were made to the financial plans in the last months of 1999 are not all reflected in the accounts as at 31 December 1999. 
Fr vrigt terspeglas inte de frndringar i de finansiella planerna som genomfrdes under de senaste mnaderna 1999 i rkenskaperna per den 31 december 1999.
In consequence, the commitments made were for the previous plans instead of the current ones, so that, for several programmes, the commitments entered in the accounts are higher than the legal commitments. This anomaly also appears in the advances paid, because they are effected in proportion to the commitments entered in the accounts. 
Detta har lett till att de taganden som ingtts inte fljer de gllande finansiella planerna utan tidigare finansiella planer, och att de bokfrda tagandena fr tskilliga program verstiger de juridiska tagandena. ven frskottsutbetalningarna pverkas av denna anomali, eftersom de grs i proportion till bokfrda taganden.
As a result some payments were in excess of the totals given by the new financial plans. 
Resultatet r att det gjorts utbetalningar som verstiger de belopp som blev resultatet av de nya finansiella planerna.

These programmes represent around half of the financing granted by URBAN. 
Dessa program motsvarar cirka hlften av finansieringen genom Urban.
Note, the difference of approximately 10 % between the extent of the initial financial plans and the final financial plans is due to indexing and the increase in the total budgets for some of these programmes. 
Skillnaden p cirka 10 % mellan ursprunglig och slutlig finansiell plan beror p indexering och p kade anslag i ngra av programmen.
SELECTION OF ELIGIBLE URBAN AREAS 11. 
URVAL AV ST DBERTTIGADE STADSOMRDEN 11.
The Commission has not defined precise criteria for determining which urban areas are eligible. 
Kommissionen har inte lagt fast bestmda kriterier fr bestmning av vilka stadsomrden som r berttigade till std.
In principle, urban areas in cities and conurbations with over 100 000 inhabitants are eligible: ÔTarget areas could be urban neighbourhoods geographically identifiable, either an existing administrative unit such as a borough, a commune or even smaller entities, within a densely populated zone, with a high level of unemployment, with a decayed urban fabric, bad housing conditions and a lack of social amenities. 
I princip r stadsomrden och stadsbebyggelse med fler n 100 000 invnare berttigade till std. Mlomrden kan vara stadsdelar som r geografiskt identifierbara eller en befintlig administrativ enhet ssom en stad, en kommun eller ven mindre enheter inom ett ttbefolkat omrde, med en hg arbetslshetsniv, en frfallen samhllsstruktur, dliga boendefrhllanden och brist p sociala inrttningar.
In addition and in duly justified cases, support could be provided for operations in medium-sized or smaller cities suffering from overall economic declineŐ (1). 
Dessutom kan i vederbrligen styrkta fall hjlp ocks ges till stdtgrder riktade till sm eller medelstora stder som drabbats av allmn ekonomisk nedgng (1).
In the explanatory memorandum to the first communication concerning the URBAN initiative (2) it was proposed that the final selection of the programmes should be based on the advice of a group of independent experts, nominated by the Commission in cooperation with the Member States, using criteria established in advance. 
I den detaljerade redogrelsen i det frsta meddelandet om Urban (2) frordades att det slutliga valet av tgrder skulle utg frn rekommendationer frn en grupp oberoende experter som utsetts av kommissionen och medlemsstaterna tillsammans och som skulle tillmpa kriterier som bestmts i frvg.
The division of responsibilities between the Commission and the Member States was not clearly defined. 
Frdelningen av ansvar mellan kommissionen och medlemsstaterna har inte tydligt definierats.
The Commission, which adopts the decisions to grant assistance, (1) Paragraph 10 of the communications from the Commission. 
Kommissionen, som beslutar om (1) Punkt 10 i kommissionens meddelanden.
(2) COM(94) 61 final/2 of 20 April 1994, ÔCommunity initiative concerning urban areas (URBAN)Ő. intervened by means of informal discussions, in a manner which was not very transparent, in order to reduce the excessive number of beneficiary urban areas proposed by the Member States, but, for all that, did not reach the target number of 70 (see paragraph 7). 
(2) KOM (94) 61 slutlig av den 20 april 1994 om gemenskapsinitiativ fr ttorter (Urban). beviljande av std, har deltagit via informella frhandlingar, med fga insyn, fr att reducera det alltfr stora antalet stadsomrden som freslagits av medlemsstaterna utan att fr den skull uppn mlet p 70 stycken (se punkt 7).
The following example illustrates the problems associated with the selection procedure. 
Nedanstende exempel illustrerar svrigheterna i samband med urvalsprocessen.
The Italian authorities invited 24 cities to submit projects. 
De italienska myndigheterna inbjd 24 stder att lgga fram projekt.
Nine cities which had not been invited to doso,butwhichwereawarethattheURBANinitiativehadbeen launched, also submitted projects, on their own initiative and outside the procedure established by the national authorities. 
Nio icke inbjudna stder som ftt knnedom om lanseringen av Urban, lade ocks fram projekt, p eget initiativ och vid sidan av det frfarande som bestmts av de nationella myndigheterna.
Faced with this situation, the Member State sent all these very different proposals to the Commission for it to take a decision. 
I detta lge skickade medlemsstaten samtliga, mycket olika, frslag till kommissionen fr att den skulle fatta beslut.
In the end the selection was negotiated jointly by the Commission and the Member State since, despite all its efforts, the Commission found it impossible to make a positive assessment of the proposals submitted, for want of a methodology and the appropriate information. 
Slutligen frhandlades ett urval fram mellan kommissionen och medlemsstaten eftersom det trots alla anstrngningar var omjligt fr kommissionen att objektivt vrdera de framlagda frslagen p grund av avsaknaden av metodik och ndvndig information.
In several cases no formal shortlisting procedure was used to select the beneficiary cities and areas, and the relevant authorities were unable to supply any documentation in support of their choices. In cases where Member States did attempt to select cities and areas in an objective manner, the end result was altered in order to redress geographical imbalances and prioritise certain cities, and capital cities in 
I flera fall skedde valet av stder och stdberttigade omrden utan fregende formellt urvalsfrfarande och utan att berrda myndigheter kunnat visa upp handlingar eller ndvndig dokumentation till std fr valet. Nr medlemsstaterna sjlva frskte gra ett objektivt urval av stder och omrden ndrades det slutliga resultatet fr att stadkomma en annan geografisk frdelning s att vissa stder
25.4.2001 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 124/7 particular, or to compensate areas not selected for other Structural Funds measures. 
25.4.2001 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 124/7 prioriterades, srskilt huvudstder, eller s att omrden som inte omfattades av andra tgrder inom ramen fr strukturfonderna kompenserades.
In practice, selection was based not on a comparison of predetermined, quantifiable, objective factors but on criteria which varied from one Member State to another and were difficult to compare, which also resulted in fragmentation of the objectives targeted. 
I praktiken skedde inte urvalet utifrn en jmfrelse av i frvg bestmda mtbara objektiva kriterier, utan utifrn kriterier som varierade frn en medlemsstat till en annan och som var svra att jmfra, vilket ocks lett till spridning av mlsttningarna.
The lack of relevant statistical data and indicators that would allowevaluationandcomparisonofthesituationinthe350or 400 cities with over 100 000 inhabitants and in other cities faced with widespread economic decline makes it impossible to assess the merits of the selection process. 
Bristen p statistiska uppgifter och lmpliga indikatorer fr bedmning och jmfrelse av de 350 eller 400 stder med fler n 100 000 invnare liksom fr vriga stder som genomgr en allmn ekonomisk nedgng, omjliggr en bedmning av om det gjorda urvalet r vlgrundat.
The Commission communicationslistsomesocioeconomicindicatorsthatcanbe used to identify the most deprived areas (1). 
I kommissionens meddelanden anges ett antal socio-ekonomiska indikatorer fr identifiering av minst gynnade omrden (1).
However, these indicators are so diverse that almost every area of any large or medium-sized European city is, on the basis of one or more of these indicators, disadvantaged in comparison to the average for that city. 
Men dessa indikatorer r s skiftande att s gott som alla omrden i europeiska sm och medelstora stder befinner sig i en smre situation n medelstaden enligt en eller flera av indikatorerna.
Moreover, the indicators may sometimes be available for a city as a whole, but hardly ever for the individual areas of it. 
Dessutom r indikatorerna ibland tillgngliga p stadsniv men s gott som aldrig p omrdesniv.
What is more, the areas selected do not always correspond to geographical, statistical or administrative units and, in some cases, cover parts of a city that are not adjacent to one another. 
De utvalda omrdena bestr inte heller alltid av en geografisk, statistisk eller administrativ enhet, och i vissa fall omfattas stadsdelar som inte ligger intill varandra.
Due to the fact that the selection process lacked transparency, it was difficult for the national authorities concerned to justify decisions to exclude many of the applicant areas. 
P grund av bristen p insyn i urvalsprocessen har de berrda nationella myndigheterna haft svrt att rttfrdiga att mnga lmpliga anskaromrden sidosatts.
After disputing these decisions, several of the cities concerned were compensated by being included in new URBAN programmes or in other Community or national measures. 
Efter protester har flera berrda stder kompenserats genom att inkluderas i de nya Urban-programmen eller i andra tgrder p nationell niv eller p gemenskapsniv.
PROGRAMMING The integrated approach 17. 
PROGRAMPLANERING Integrerad metod 17.
A strategy based on the integrated approach envisaged by the Commission (see paragraph 2) is highly ambitious and presupposes the existence of long-term integrated urban development plans in which the public administrations and local and social partners are involved. 
En strategi grundad p en integrerad metod som kommissionen frutsett (se punkt 2), har hg ambitionsniv och frutstter att det finns integrerade, lngsiktiga planer fr stadsutveckling i vilka myndigheter samt lokala parter och samhllslivets parter r delaktiga.
In some cases municipal plans exist, but they are usually oriented towards fields that are traditionally the preserve of the boroughs (e.g. urban development plans) or towards sectors of economic activity (transport, highway and traffic improvement plans, etc.). 
Ibland finns det kommunala planer men dessa r i allmnhet inriktade p sdana verksamheter som traditionellt ingr i kommunens uppgifter (t.ex. stadsplanering av omrden) eller behandlar en viss verksamhet (planer fr frbttrade transporter, vgnt, trafik osv.)
(1) Paragraph 5 of the communications from the Commission. 
(1) Punkt 5 i kommissionens meddelande.
The indicators are: unemployment rate, levels of education, the level of crime, quality of housing, the percentage of social service providers, the social and ethnic mix, the extent of urban decay, deterioration of public transport and the mediocrity of local amenities, etc. 18. 
Dessa indikatorer r: arbetslshetsniv, utbildningsniv, brottslighet, bostadskvalitet, andel soci-albidragstagare, etnisk sammansttning, frfallen stadsmilj, frsmring av allmnna kommunikationer, dligt lokal utrustning osv. 18.
Even though the communications provided that Ôthe Structural Funds could be used to finance the designing of global urban strategies at the request of the Member States or local and regional authorities concernedŐ (2), no applications of this type were made. 
Tanken var att strukturfonderna skall kunna bidra till att utveckla allmnna strategier fr stder p begran av medlemsstaterna eller berrda lokala eller regionala myndigheter (2).
URBAN made no contribution towards improving planning instruments at city level. 
Urban har inte kunnat bidra till att planeringsinstrumenten p stadsniv har frbttrats.
URBAN did, however, make it possible for a number of local authorities to coordinate the planning and implementation of various actions in particular areas of cities for the first time. 
Men Urban har nd gjort det mjligt fr flera lokala myndigheter att fr frsta gngen utarbeta och p ett koordinerat stt genomfra olika tgrder i ett stadsomrde.
Selection of measures 19. 
Val av tgrder 19.
The areas selected have very different problems: high unemployment, heavy traffic, run-down historic centres, crime, drug abuse, prostitution, economic decline, low-quality housing, etc. Nevertheless, the measures included in the programmes are identical or very similar. 
De utvalda omrdena har problem av skiftande slag: hg arbetslshet, mycket trafik, nedsliten historisk stadskrna, brottslighet, narkotika, prostitution, ekonomisk tillbakagng, lg bostadsstandard osv. Trots detta r programmens tgrder identiska eller liknar varandra i hg grad.
Some national authorities have taken the categories of measures proposed in the communications as the content of a model programme and their proposals follow this format to the letter. 
Den tgrdskatalog som fresls i meddelandena har av vissa nationella myndigheter uppfattats som innehllet i ett typprogram och deras frslag fljer till punkt och pricka denna struktur.
While the programmes should have been centred on the problem which justified the city or area being selected, they usually comprise a wide array of operations, thus mirroring regional measures financed by the Structural Funds. 
Istllet fr att satsa p lmpliga program fr just de problem som motiverade valet av stad eller omrde har man i allmnhet valt flera olika tgrder enligt modellen fr regionala tgrder inom strukturfonderna.
The result of this is that Community finances are deployed too thinly, in a way that is very awkward to manage and to monitor, given not only the number and diversity of the projects, but also the relatively low level of Community financing (an average of 7,61 million euro per area). 
Resultatet blir en spridning av gemenskapsfinansieringen som gr den administrativt tungrodd att hantera och vervaka p grund av antalet och variationerna i frga om projekt liksom den relativt lga gemenskapsfinansieringen (i medeltal 7,61 miljoner euro per omrde).
The Member States and the Commission have not succeeded in using the partnership framework to focus measures more closely on the basic problems of the urban areas concerned. 
Medlemsstaterna och kommissionen har inte inom ramen fr partnerskapet lyckats med att bttre koncentrera tgrderna till de vsentligaste problemen i berrda stadsomrden.
Interviews with managers in the field confirmed that, as a general rule, they would have preferred simpler programmes comprising only a few operations. 
Samtal med frvaltarna p plats bekrftar att man, i allmnhet, skulle fredragit enklare program som bestr av ett litet antal tgrder.
They would also have preferred programmes to be financed from a single source (ERDF or ESF) in order to avoid the complexities of dealing with two structural funds at the same time (see paragraph 2), each governed by different rules and with different methods of implemen-tation.Moreover,thecontributionmadebytheESFistoosmall to have any significant impact. 
Man skulle ocks ha fredragit att arbeta med enfondsprogram (ERUF eller ESF) fr att undvika den komplexa frvaltningen av tv strukturfonder samtidigt (se punkt 2) med olika regelverk och genomfrandefrfaranden. Bidragen frn ESF r dessutom fr sm fr att ha ngon betydande pverkan.
It should be noted that the URBAN IIinitiative(2000to2006)willbefinancedbytheERDFonly. 
Man br i sammanhanget notera att Urban II (2000Đ2006) enbart kommer att finansieras genom ERUF.
Programme approval 21. 
Godknnande av program 21.
Even though the Commission communications allowed very little time for the preparation of programmes (four months in the firstcommunicationandsixmonthsinthesecond)(3),theCom-mission approved the majority of the programmes well behind schedule (4), and in some cases not until two years after the submission date. 
Samtidigt som den avsatta tiden fr beredning av program var mycket kort i kommissionens meddelanden (fyra mnader i det frsta och sex mnader i det andra) (3) godknde kommissionen flertalet program med betydande frsening (4) och i ngra fall skedde det inte frrn tv r efter datum fr framlggande.
