The second principle is that MFA should only be given to third countries which fulfil certain political preconditions: close political and economic links with the European Union, geographical proximity, full respect for effective democratic mechanisms including multiparty parliamentary systems, the rule of law and guarantees of human rights. 
Den andra principen r att makroekonomiskt std endast skall ges till tredje land som uppfyller vissa ndvndiga politiska frutsttningar: nra politiska och ekonomiska band med Europeiska unionen, geografisk nrhet, full respekt fr verkliga demokratiska mekanismer inklusive parlamentariska flerpartisystem, rttsstatsprincipen och garantier fr mnskliga rttigheter.
In practice, assistance is also provided to third countries in which these political preconditions are only partially met. 
I praktiken ges std ven till tredje land dr dessa ndvndiga politiska frutsttningar bara delvis r uppfyllda.
Regarding geographical proximity, Armenia, Georgia and Tajikistan were not considered eligible according to Genval criteria (see footnote 4, page 8) as they do not fulfil this precondition. 
Betrffande geografisk nrhet ansgs inte Armenien, Georgien och Tadzjikistan vara stdberttigade i enlighet med Genval-kriterierna (se fotnot 4 p sidan 8) eftersom de inte uppfyller denna frutsttning.
Regarding human rights, the Council and the Commission expressed their concerns (2), particularly as far as minorities are concerned, in some beneficiary countries.

Complementarity 36. 
Komplement till annan finansiering 36.
Complementarity between EU MFA and the assistance provided by other multilateral or bilateral donors constitutes the third agreed principle. 
Att EU:s makroekonomiska std skall komplettera andra multilaterala eller bilaterala bidragsgivares std utgr den tredje verenskomna principen.
EU assistance should be limited to a maximum of 60 % (for EU accession countries) or to one third (other countries) of total bilateral support (3), in order to ensure an adequate burden-sharing. 
EU-stdet br begrnsas till hgst 60 % (fr EU:s kandidatlnder) eller till en tredjedel (vriga lnder) av det samlade bilaterala stdet (3), fr att en lmplig frdelning av kostnadsbrdan skall skerstllas.
The principle of complementarity has a second aspect: complementarity is also to be sought between EU macrofinancial assistance and other EU assistance, which requires internal coordination. 
Man skall ven efterstrva att EU:s makroekonomiska std och EU:s vriga std skall komplettera varandra, vilket krver intern samordning.
In general, MFA is only mobilised if there is a significant residual external financing gap (4), over and above the resources (2) European Union Annual Report on human rights 2001, Council of theEuropeanUnion,8October2001. 
I allmnhet mobiliseras makroekonomiskt std endast nr det finns ett vsentligt resterande externt finansieringsbehov (4), 2 () Europeiska unionens rsrapport om mnskliga rttigheter 2001, Europeiska unionens rd, 8 oktober 2001.

C 121/10 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 23.5.2002 provided by the IMF and the World Bank, which is identified in common with them. 
C 121/10 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 23.5.2002 utver de resurser som tillhandahlls av Internationella valutafonden och Vrldsbanken, vilket faststlls tillsammans med dessa finansinstitut.
Thus there is usually a close coordination with the IMF and the World Bank already at the planning stage. 
Av den anledningen sker vanligen en nra samordning med Internationella valutafonden och Vrldsbanken redan p planeringsstadiet.
However, problems were encountered in cases where considerable time lags occurred between the planning of an operation and its implementation. 
Problem konstaterades emellertid i fall dr avsevrda tidsfrdrjningar uppstod mellan planeringen av en tgrd och dess genomfrande.
Concerning the fourth loan to Bulgaria decided in 1999 (100 million euro), more than one year passed between the first estimate of the residual financing needs and the actual disbursement to cover these needs. 
Nr det gller det fjrde lnet till Bulgarien, som beviljades 1999 (100 miljoner euro), drjde det ver ett r efter den frsta uppskattningen av de resterande finansieringsbehoven innan den faktiska utbetalningen gjordes fr att tcka dessa behov.
The CommissionŐs original calculation of the assistance was based on an IMF estimate of the financing needs from September 1998. 
Kommissionens ursprungliga berkning av stdet var baserad p Internationella valutafondens uppskattning av finansieringsbehoven frn september 1998.
However, the residual financing needs estimated for 1999 diminished considerably (1). 
De resterande finansieringsbehov som uppskattades fr 1999 var emellertid avsevrt mindre (1).
Therefore, the CommissionŐs services considered that Bulgaria did not need to receive a disbursement in 1999. 
Kommissionen ansg drfr att Bulgarien inte behvde f ngon utbetalning under 1999.
Nevertheless the first instalment of the loan was disbursed in December 1999 (2). 
Trots detta gjordes den frsta delutbetalningen av lnet i december 1999 (2).
Concerning the disbursement of the second instalment of the loan to Bulgaria in September 2000 (60 million euro), there is no evidence that paragraph 9 of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Commission and the Bulgarian authorities was applied before the proposal for disbursement: ÔThe amount of the second instalment will be decided following a Commission review of BulgariaŐs residual external financing requirements. 
Nr det gller verkstllandet av den andra delutbetalningen av lnet till Bulgarien i september 2000 (60 miljoner euro) finns det inga bevis fr att man fre frslaget om utbetalning tillmpade punkt 9 i samfrstndsavtalet mellan kommissionen och de bulgariska myndigheterna, dr det anges att beloppet fr den andra delbetalningen kommer att faststllas efter att kommissionen gjort en versyn av Bulgariens resterande externa finansieringsbehov, och att vederbrlig hnsyn ocks kommer att tas till den faktiska mobiliseringen av ekonomiskt std till Bulgarien frn andra bilaterala bidragsgivare.
Due account will also be taken of the effective mobilisation of financial assistance to Bulgaria by other bilateral donors ...Ő In the absence of such a review at that time, it was not possible to establish if there were any residual financing needs for 2000 nor was it possible to establish whether the Community assistance to Bulgaria represented less than 60 % of total bilateral support given in 1999 and 2000 and therefore remained within the maximum limit for EU accession countries, which was set to ensure an adequate burden-sharing. 
Utan ngon sdan versyn vid den tidpunkten var det inte mjligt att faststlla om det fanns ngra resterande finansieringsbehov fr 2000 och inte heller var det mjligt att faststlla huruvida gemenskapsstdet till Bulgarien motsvarade mindre n 60 % av det samlade bilaterala std som utgtt under 1999 och 2000 och drmed inte verskred den hgsta grnsen fr EU:s kandidatlnder, som faststllts fr att skerstlla en lmplig frdelning av kostnadsbrdan.
As far as complementarity and coordination between EU macrofinancial assistance and other EU assistance is concerned, the approach in Kosovo was not always harmonised between the different Commission services. 
Nr det gller kompletteringsprincipen och samordningen mellan EU:s makroekonomiska std och vrigt EU-std var fr-faringssttet i Kosovo inte alltid harmoniserat mellan kommissionens olika avdelningar.
The European Agency for Reconstruction, situated in Pristina and responsible for commitments of about 400 million euro in 2000, was critical of the efficiency of the United Nations Interim Administration (UNMIK). 
Europeiska byrn fr teruppbyggnad, som ligger i Pristina och som ansvarade fr taganden fr omkring 400 miljoner euro r 2000, var kritisk till effektiviteten inom FN:s vergngsfrvaltning (UNMIK).
The UNMIK did not supply the reports on the utilisation of EU funds managed by the Agency despite several reminders, including a letter from the Commission in Brussels, pointing out that UNMIK was putting further payments at risk. 
UNMIK tillhandahll inte ngra rapporter om utnyttjandet av de EU-medel som byrn frvaltade trots flera pminnelser, dribland en skrivelse frn kommissionen i Bryssel som ppekade att UNMIK ventyrade de fortsatta betalningarna.
At the same time the Commis-(1) From USD 205 million in September 1998 to USD 71 million in September 1999. (2) This was reduced from 50 million euro to 40 million euro. sionŐs service responsible for MFA decided to disburse quickly the second instalment of the 35 million euro commitment relating to the Kosovo budget managed by UNMIK (see Annex III, paragraph 1). 
Samtidigt beslutade den av kommissionens avdelningar som ansvarar fr makroekonomiskt std att snabbt betala ut den (1) De minskade frn 205 miljoner US-dollar i september 1998 till 71 miljoner US-dollar i september 1999.
In the case of Albania in April 1999 the Council decided on MFA of up to 20 million euro in the form of a loan. 
I Albaniens fall fattade rdet i april 1999 beslut om makroekonomiskt std p upp till 20 miljoner euro i form av ett ln.
However, there was still no payment by the time of the CourtŐs audit (February 2001) because Albania benefited from a large inflow of other EU assistance, mainly in the form of grants (emergency budgetary assistance for costs related to refugees under the Food Security programme). 
Vid tidpunkten fr revisionsrttens granskning (februari 2001) hade det emellertid nnu inte gjorts ngon betalning eftersom Albanien erhll mycket vrigt EU-std, huvudsakligen i form av bidrag (akut budgetstd fr flyktingrelaterade kostnader inom programmet fr livsmedelsskerhet).
As other countries are receiving MFA in the form of grants, Albania no longer seems willing to take loans.

Conditionality 42. 
Villkorat std 42.
The conditions should also take into account progress on opening mutual markets, in the context of the CommunityŐs external policy. 
Villkoren br ven beakta framsteg som grs nr det gller att ge varandra msesidigt marknadstilltrde, vilket ligger inom ramen fr gemenskapens externa politik.
Thereviewofalloperationsin1998to2000showedthat this principle of conditionality has been taken into account throughout the period. 
Underskningen av samtliga tgrder under perioden 1998Đ2000 visade att det under perioden genomgende har tagits hnsyn till denna princip om villkorat std.
However, some of the conditions do not define clear and measurable performance criteria, but are formulated in a general way with the result that they are not easily verifiable (e.g. Kosovo: Ôtake the appropriate measures to develop the necessary regulatory framework for the various priority sectorsŐ; FYROM: Ôthe government will have made significant progress on the establishment of a merit system for civil servantsŐ). 
I vissa av villkoren definieras emellertid inte klara och mtbara resultatkriterier, utan dessa villkor formuleras i allmnna ordalag med fljden att de inte r enkelt verifierbara (t.ex. avseende Kosovo: vidta lmpliga tgrder fr att utveckla det regelverk som krvs inom olika prioriterade omrden; och avseende f.d. jugoslaviska republiken Makedonien: regeringen skall ha gjort vsentliga framsteg i upprttandet av ett meritsystem fr offentliganstllda).
The rationale behind the conditions is not always clear, because the relationship to overall objectives is not indicated. 
Logiken bakom villkoren framgr inte alltid tydligt eftersom det inte anges hur villkoren frhller sig till de vergripande mlen.
In the case of Romania, the design of the conditions is fragmented, and their relevance to the Accession process is not specified. 
I Rumniens fall r villkorens utformning splittrad och deras relevans fr anslutningsprocessen r inte specificerad.
In general the assistance is disbursed in two or three instalments. 
I allmnhet betalas stdet ut i tv eller tre delbetalningar.
Most of the schemes foresee a minimum period of three months between the first and the second instalment. 
De flesta programmen frutser att det skall g minst tre mnader mellan den frsta och den andra delbetalningen.
Such planning creates expectations in the beneficiary State that the total amount of assistance will be disbursed quickly. However significant measurable macroeconomic progress is not normally

In the case of Montenegro payments were made in January 2001 (i.e. after four and a half months), and this only after having softened the conditions for disbursement (see Annex III(6)). 
I Montenegros fall gjordes betalningar i januari 2001 (dvs. efter fyra och en halv mnad), och detta endast efter det att villkoren fr utbetalning hade mjukats upp (se bilaga III punkt 6).
Financial discipline 46. 
Finansiell disciplin 46.
The fifth principle agreed by the Ecofin Council is the respect of financial discipline. 
Den femte princip som Ekofin-rdet enades om r respekten fr finansiell disciplin.
This means that the amounts of the assistance should comply with the annual budget ceilings established by the CommunityŐs financial perspective, as well as with the rules and the agreed ceilings of the Guarantee Fund mechanism for external actions (1). 
Detta innebr att stdbeloppen br vara frenliga med svl budgettaken i gemenskapens budgetplan som reglerna och de verenskomna taken fr garantifondsmekanismen fr tgrder avseende tredje land (1).
The Court audits the mechanism of the Guarantee Fund annually (2).

ASSESSMENT OF PARTNER GOVERNMENTŐS BUDGETARY AND ACCOUNTING PROCESSES 47. 
BED MNING AV PARTNERREGERINGARNAS BUDGET-OCH REDOVISNINGSF RFARANDEN 47.
Recognising the fungible nature of funds provided under SAF the Commission made these available as untied budget support. 
Eftersom de medel som tillhandahlls i form av strukturanpassningsstd r fungibla gjorde kommissionen dessa medel tillgngliga i form av obundet budgetstd.
Consequently, all provisions for the audit of SAF-related expenditure have disappeared from the Financing Agreements. 
Fljaktligen har alla bestmmelser om en granskning av strukturanpassningsrelate-rade utgifter frsvunnit ur finansieringsverenskommelserna.
However this has not been replaced by any more global control. 
Denna granskning har emellertid inte ersatts av ngon mer vergripande kontroll.
In budgetary support operations, whether loans or grants, as the money goes directly into the partner countryŐs budgetary system and its use cannot be distinguished from the rest of the budget, it is important that the budgetary and accounting processes in the country be reliable. 
Nr det gller budgetstdtgrder, vare sig det rr sig om ln eller bidrag, r det viktigt att landets budget-och redovisningsfrfaranden r tillfrlitliga, eftersom pengarna gr direkt in i partnerlandets budgetsystem och dess anvndning inte kan urskiljas frn resten av budgeten.
A high degree of transparency, accountability and external control in the management of public resources is vital for ensuring good governance and in helping to combat fraud and corruption. 
En hg grad av insyn och ppenhet, redovisningsskyldighet och extern kontroll vid frvaltningen av offentliga resurser r av yttersta vikt fr att man skall skerstlla en god frvaltningssed och fr att underltta bekmpningen av bedrgerier och korruption.
The Commission should document its own assessment of these processes in the countries of the Mediterranean region, including the extent to which they have relied on work carried out by the international financial institutions. 
Kommissionen br dokumentera sin egen bedmning av dessa frfaranden i lnderna i Medelhavsomrdet, inbegripet i hur stor utstrckning de har frlitat sig p de internationella finansinstitutens arbete.
So far, no evidence was found that the Commission had made such an assessment. 
Hittills har det inte framkommit ngra bevis fr att kommissionen har gjort ngon sdan bedmning.
(1) The Guarantee Fund was established on 31 October 1994 by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) 2728/94, and is drawn on if the beneficiary of a loan granted or guaranteed by the Community to or in a third country defaults. 
(1) Garantifonden inrttades den 31 oktober 1994 genom rdets frordning (EG, Euratom) nr 2728/94 och skall tillgripas om mottagaren av ett ln, som beviljats eller garanterats av gemenskapen till eller i tredje land, inte fullgr sina skyldigheter.
Article 14 of Council Decision 94/729/EC on budgetary discipline states that each year a reserve relating to loans and loan guarantees is entered in the general budget as a provision to cover the requirements of the Guarantee Fund. 
I artikel 14 i rdets beslut 94/729/EG 1994 om budgetdisciplin anges att det i den allmnna budgeten varje r skall tas upp en reserv avseende ln och lnegarantier till tckning av behovet av tillfrsel av medel till garantifonden.
When submitting a new proposal for MFA in the form of loans the Commission provides information about the budgetary implications of the operation. 
Nr kommissionen lgger fram ett nytt frslag om makroekonomiskt std i form av ln ger den information om tgrdens konsekvenser fr budgeten.
Thus the required contribution to the Guarantee Fund is indicated as well 2 as the consequences in case of a call on the budget guarantee. () CourtŐs Annual Report concerning the financial year 2000, Chapter 8 (OJ C 359, 15.12.2001). 
Drmed uppges svl det erforderliga bidraget till garantifonden som 2 konsekvenserna i hndelse av att man skulle utnyttja budgetgarantin. () Revisionsrttens rsrapport fr budgetret 2000, kapitel 8 (EGT C 359, 15.12.2001).
An attempt was made by the Commission to raise the question of the reliability of the GovernmentŐs budgetary and accounting processes as an element in the Financing Agreement for the Tunisian Education SAF but as this was done very late in the process this aspect was finally not included in the Financing Agreement. 
Kommissionen gjorde ett frsk att ta upp frgan om tillfrlitligheten i regeringens budget-och redovisningsfrfaranden som en del i finansieringsverenskommelsen avseende det tunisiska strukturanpassningsprogrammet p utbildningsomrdet, men eftersom detta gjordes i ett mycket sent skede inkluderades denna aspekt slutligen inte i finansieringsverenskommelsen.
The introduction of this important issue was, however, not part of a general policy decision by the Commission applicable to all countries, but was rather started on an ad hoc basis. 
Kommissionen tog inte upp denna viktiga frga som ett led i ngot allmnt policybeslut som skulle vara tillmpligt p alla lnder, utan det var mer ett initiativ p ad hoc-basis.
49.Areviewofthereliabilityofthemanagementofpublic resources was also largely lacking in countries receiving MFA support. 
49. Det saknades ocks till stor del en utvrdering av tillfrlitligheten i frvaltningen av offentliga resurser i lnder som erhll makroekonomiskt std.
A specific monitoring exercise was only carried out, to a very limited extent, by external technical assistance, in the case of Montenegro (see Annex III(6)). 
En srskild utvrderingsinsats genomfrdes av extern teknisk expertis. Denna avsg endast Montenegro och var mycket begrnsad (se bilaga III punkt 6).
In ACP States a start has been made to coordinate action in this direction with the World Bank. 
I AVS-lnderna har man pbrjat en samordning av verksamheten i denna riktning med Vrldsbanken.
The Court in its recent report has recommended that the Commission concentrate on monitoring closely the quality of the management of public finances (3). 
Revisionsrtten rekommenderade i sin nyligen offentliggjorda rapport att kommissionen skulle koncentrera sig p att nrmare vervaka kvaliteten i frvaltningen av offentliga medel (3).
Lessons learned from the CommissionŐs experience with these instruments should be taken into consideration by all DGs involved in budgetary support. 
Kommissionens erfarenheter i samband med dessa instrument br beaktas av samtliga generaldirektorat som arbetar med budgetstd.
For example, the Internal Audit Service of the Commission has also recently carried out an analysis of budgetary support given to ACP States (4). 
Exempelvis har ven kommissionens internrevisionstjnst nyligen gjort en analys av budgetstd till AVS-lnderna (4).
This internal report makes a number of observations that are applicable to all countries receiving budgetary support. 
I denna interna rapport framfrs ett antal iakttagelser som r till-lmpliga p alla lnder som erhller budgetstd.
The Commission has the task of verifying whether the economic policies in the beneficiary countries are in accordance with the general objectives of such assistance and whether the conditions laid down are being fulfilled. 
Kommissionen har i uppgift att verifiera om den ekonomiska politiken i de stdmottagande lnderna verensstmmer med de allmnna mlen fr sdant std och om de faststllda villkoren r uppfyllda.
However, there are no internal rules defining responsibilities, no job descriptions and no monitoring tools (e.g. checklists, operational framework, guidelines) in the units responsible for monitoring. 
Det finns emellertid inga interna bestmmelser som faststller ansvarsomrden, inga befattningsbeskrivningar och inga vervakningsinstrument (t.ex. checklistor, operativa ramar, riktlinjer) inom de enheter som ansvarar fr vervakningen.
Programmes are mainly managed and monitored from Brussels. Before payments are made the Commission usually visits the 3 (4) ( ) Special Report No 5/2001, paragraphs 40 to 44. Report on the managing, monitoring and control arrangements governing the use of counterpart funds and budgetary support in development aid (internal document, Brussels, 4.7.2001). 
Programmen frvaltas och vervakas huvudsakligen frn Bryssel. Innan betalningar grs besker kommissionen vanligtvis 3 (4) Srskild rapport nr 5/2001, punkterna 40Đ44.
