29.7.1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 217/11 INTRODUCTION The report adopts a horizontal approach in analysing and assessing a range of interest rebate measures that are not only quite diverse in terms of objectives and eligibility conditions, but also difficult to compare. 
29.7.1999 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 217/11 INLEDNING I rapporten ges en vergripande analys och bedmning av en rad rntesubventionstgrder som r tmligen olikartade vad gller ml och stdvillkor och som dessutom r svra att jmfra.
Indeed, they address different economic realities at different moments in time, and each measureŐs rationale is largely determined by the general political and economic context in which it originated. 
Dessa r i sjlva verket avsedda fr olika ekonomiska realiteter vid olika tidpunkter och logiken i var och en av tgrderna avgrs i hg grad av det generella politiska och ekonomiska sammanhanget som de hrrr frn.
OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE MANAGEMENT, ENTRY IN THE ACCOUNTS AND CONTROL OF INTEREST-RATE SUBSIDIES 3.1. In cases where the Commission directly manages interest rebates and effects the associated payments, as in the case of Madeira or trans-European networks, it is, of course, fully aware of both the identity of the final beneficiary and the details of the activity being supported. 
IAKTTAGELSER OM F RVALTNING, REDOVISNING OCH KONTROLL AV RNTESUBVENTIONER 3.1 I de fall dr kommissionen direkt handlgger rntesubventionerna och effektuerar dithrande utbetalningar, ssom r fallet fr Madeira eller de transeuropeiska nten, r kommissionen fullt medveten om bde vem den slutliga stdmottagaren r och detaljerna i den verksamhet som stds.
Regarding trans-European networks, it should be recalled that the Commission established, on its own initiative, a set of guidelines on the use and administration of interest rebates for budget line B5-7 0 0 (these were made available to the Court). 
Betrffande de transeuropeiska nten br det erinras om att kommissionen p eget initiativ fastslagit riktlinjer fr hur rntesubventionerna frn budgetrubrik B5-7 0 0 skall anvndas och hur de skall handlggas (riktlinjerna har gjorts tillgngliga fr revisionsrtten).
These guidelines, whose purpose was to ensure transparent procedures and allow proper verification of physical and financial implementation, were formally adopted by the Member States in the TEN-Financial Assistance Committee in 1997. 
Dessa riktlinjer syftade till att skapa insyn i frfarandet och mjliggra en verklig kontroll av det fysiska och finansiella genomfrandet och de antogs formellt 1997 av medlemsstaterna i kommittn fr finansiellt std till TEN.
The guidelines were especially intended to ensure uniformity between traditional direct grant subsidies and interest rebates in the areas of ex-ante evaluation (appraisal), and monitoring of projects. 
Riktlinjerna var srskilt avsedda att skapa enhetlighet mellan traditionella direkta gvobistnd och rntesubventioner vad gller frhandsbedmningar (ÓuppskattningÓ), och projektvervakning.
Thus the Commission aggregates both physical and financial data on the progress of projects. 
P detta stt samlar kommissionen ihop bde fysiska och finansiella uppgifter om hur projekten utvecklas.
Financial markets and financial institutions do have rules and customary procedures which are to a large extent transparent. 
Inom finansmarknaderna och finansinstituten finns regler och hvdvunna frfaranden som i stor utstrckning mjliggr insyn.
Of course, financial intermediaries carry the solvability risk of the final borrower and adapt loan conditions accordingly. 
De finansiella mellanhnderna str givetvis i sista hand fr riskerna nr det gller den slutliga lntagarens likviditet och utformar lnevillkoren drefter.
This applies whether the management of the loans and subsidies is delegated to the EIB or is assured by the Commission. 
Detta r tillmpligt vare sig handlggningen av lnet och subventionerna delegerats till EIB eller skts av kommissionen.
The EIB works with large networks of intermediaries in all countries in which it operates, in accordance with Article 16 of its Statute, and this is no doubt taken into account when the EIB is conferred the task of allocating interest subsidies decided by the European Union. 
I enlighet med artikel 16 i sin stadga arbetar EIB med stora ntverk av mellanhnder i alla lnder dr banken verkar, och detta spelar tvivelsutan en roll nr EIB tilldelas uppgiften att frdela rntesubventioner som beslutats av Europeiska unionen.
For example, of all external agencies, the EIB has probably the most extensive network of banking contacts and relationships throughout the ACP countries, financing under Lom IVa alone around 70 lines of credit to about 50 ACP financial institutions. 
Av alla externa organ r det frmodligen EIB som har det mest omfattande ntverket av bankkontakter och relationer i samtliga AVS-lnder. Bara i samband med Lom IVa finansieras omkring 70 kreditlinjer till c:a 50 finansiella institutioner i AVS-lnderna.
Moreover, the EIB applies strict criteria of quality and solvability in selecting its network of financial intermediaries. 
Dessutom tillmpar EIB strikta kvalitets-och likviditetskriterier d banken bygger upp sitt ntverk av finansiella mellanhnder.
It is evident that EU subsidies of a limited amount and duration cannot be distributed through an unlimited number of financial intermediaries. 
Det r uppenbart att EU-std med begrnsad omfattning och varaktighet inte kan distribueras genom ett obegrnsat antal finansiella mellanhnder.
For various reasons, not all potential intermediaries corresponding to the EIBŐs criteria agree to manage global loans or interest subsidies. 
Alla potentiella mellanhnder som uppfyller EIB:s kriterier r av olika skl inte intresserade av att handlgga globala ln eller rntesubventioner.
As regards the interest rates for loans made from its own resources, the Bank is bound by Article 19 of its Statute and is subject to controls. 
Betrffande rntesatserna fr ln frn de egna medlen r banken bunden av artikel 19 i sin stadga och r freml fr kontroller.
The grid of interest rates which the Bank fixes for its loans from own resources is controlled and approved by its Board of Directors where the Commission is represented by a regular member and an alternate. 
De rntetabeller som banken fastlgger gllande sina ln frn egna medel kontrolleras och godknns av dess styrelse dr kommissionen finns representerad genom en ordinarie ledamot och en suppleant.
The EIB on-lends funds at a rate reflecting its excellent position in the markets, plus a small margin to cover costs, in accordance with its statutory obligation under the Treaty. 
EIB terutlnar medel till en rntesats som terspeglar den ena-stende stllning banken har p marknaderna (en liten marginal fr att tcka kostnader lggs till) i verensstmmelse med de skyl-KOMMISSIONENS SVAR
C 217/12 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 29.7.1999 of EIB loans are fixed in accordance with market conditions. 
C 217/12 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 29.7.1999 digheter banken har enligt frdraget.
Interest rates are usually fixed but are also revisable, variable or convertible according to the clientŐs preferences, and may be set either on signature of the finance contract or on each disbursement (open-rate contract). 
Rntesatserna r vanligen fasta, men kan ocks vara justerbara, rrliga eller konvertibla i enlighet med klientens nskeml, och kan faststllas antingen vid undertecknandet av finansieringskontraktet eller vid varje utbetalning (open rate-avtal).
The method adopted for setting rates is the same for all countries and sectors. 
Den metod som antagits fr faststllande av rntesatserna r densamma fr alla lnder och sektorer.
The currencies in which disbursements are made depends on the EIBŐs holdings and the bor-rowerŐs preferences. 
De valutor som utbetalningarna grs i beror p EIB:s tillgngar och lntagarens nskeml.
The EIB provides the Commission with information on the administrative costs for the various activities it manages for the Commission. 
EIB frser kommissionen med information om administrationskostnaderna fr de olika verksamheter som den handlgger fr kommissionens rkning.
A recapitulation of these costs is communicated to the Court by the Commission. 
Kommissionen har lmnat en sammanfattning av dessa kostnader till revisionsrtten.
In its checks on interest-rate subsidies granted under Article 56(2)(a) of the ECSC Treaty, the Commission has found only a very few cases in which the financial intermediaries failed to comply with the conditions imposed. 
Vid kontroll av subventioner som beviljats inom ramen fr artikel 56.2a i EKSG-frdraget har kommissionen endast konstaterat ngra f fall dr villkoren inte respekterats av de finansiella mellanhnderna.
Eligibility and follow-up of projects entrusted to the EIB According to various mandates, there also exist Member State committees which give their opinion on project eligibility on the basis of detailed reports. 
I enlighet med vissa olika mandat finns det ven medlemsstats-kommitter som avger yttranden om projekten r stdberttigande p basis av utfrliga rapporter.
The information prerequisite to the decisions on individual allocations varies according to the characteristics of the loans and the operating capacity and technical know-how of the intermediary. For global loans to financial intermediaries outside the Union, the Bank often includes a contractual right to request further information on the final beneficiaries. 
Fr globala ln till finansiella mellanhnder utanfr EU avtalsfster banken ofta en mjlighet att begra ytterligare information om den slutliga stdmottagaren. ven om banken utfr periodiskt terkommande stickprov, anvnder den inte denna sin avtalsfsta kontroll-rttighet p ngot systematiskt stt.
As regards the EIB-Edinburgh facility, the Commission has received a full list of all the final sub-loan beneficiaries. 
Betrffande EIB-Edinburghfaciliteten har kommissionen mottagit en fullstndig frteckning ver alla slutliga lnemottagare.
As the job creation criteria are similar to those of the ECSC, and cover the same period, these lists have been analysed and compared to the ECSC sub-loan beneficiaries. 
Eftersom kriterierna fr Óskapande av arbetstillfllenÓ liknar dem som finns i EKSG-frdraget och omfattar samma period har dessa frteckningar analyserats och jmfrts mot bakgrund av EKSG:s lnemottagare.
A small number of cases of potential double financing have been identified by the Commission and are currently being examined and discussed with the EIB. 
Ett litet antal fall av potentiell dubbelfinansiering har upptckts av kommissionen och granskas och diskuteras f.n. med EIB.
Finally, on the broader question of the treatment of information received from the EIB, the Commission insists on analysing this information itself. 
Vad slutligen gller den vidare frgan om hur informationen frn EIB behandlas, hller kommissionen fast vid att den sjlv vill analysera denna information.
The Commission is regularly informed by the Bank on the development of projects and there is a dialogue if major problems occur. 
Kommissionen informeras regelbundet av banken om hur projekten utvecklas och om det uppstr strre problem tas dessa upp till diskussion.
The Commission is of the view that duplication of work should be avoided. 
Kommissionen anser att dubbelarbete br undvikas.
Not all objectives (e.g. strengthening competitiveness of European industry, fostering development of high tech SMEs) can be precisely quantified. 
Alla ml (t.ex. strkt konkurrenskraft fr industrin inom EU, utveckling av hgteknologiska sm och medelstora fretag) kan inte kvantifieras exakt.
This does not render the objectives less important. 
Detta gr inte mlen mindre viktiga.
At a macroeconomic level, the effective rate of interest is known to be a factor influencing the level of investment. 
P makroekonomisk niv vet man att rntesatsen r en faktor som pverkar investeringsviljan.
The Commission would not claim that this is the single determining factor in a beneficiaryŐs decision to undertake an investment project. 
Kommissionen pstr inte att detta r den enda avgrande faktorn nr en stdmottagare beslutar sig fr att genomfra ett investeringsprojekt.
Rather, interest subsidies form part of a package which also includes measures on a local, regional or national level which together create a favourable context for the achievement of priority EU objectives. 
Rntesubventionerna utgr snarare en del av en helhet, vari ven ingr tgrder p lokal, regional eller nationell niv och som sammantaget skapar ett gynnsamt sammanhang fr att uppn prioriterade EU-ml.
The link between interest rate subsidies and investment cannot be necessarily quantified but this does not mean that there is no causal relationship at all. 
Kopplingen mellan rntesubventioner och investeringar kan inte ndvndigtvis kvantifieras men detta innebr inte att det inte finns ngot orsakssamband.
29.7.1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 217/13 Various final beneficiaries have confirmed that the interest rate subsidy received had a positive and significant influence on the investment decision. 
29.7.1999 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 217/13 Olika slutliga stdmottagare har bekrftat att den rntesubvention som de ftt haft ett positivt och avgrande inflytande p investeringsbeslutet.
With respect to the Copenhagen facility, the Commission will present its evaluation report in the near future. 
Betrffande Kpenhamnsfaciliteten kommer kommissionen att lgga fram sin utvrderingsrapport inom kort.
The Commission considers that the level of use made of a facility is one indicator among others; however, it has never identified the use of a particular instrument as its sole indicator of effectiveness. 
Generella slutsatser om effektiviteten i denna facilitet synes fr nrvarande vara frhastade. Kommissionen anser att en indikation bland andra r i hur stor utstrckning faciliteten tas i bruk.
As the CourtŐs observations relate to three different regimes, the general budget, ECSC and EDF, the Commission undertakes to study the best way of entering in the accounts the amounts of interest-rate subsidies paid in advance to the EIB. 
3.13Ń3.16 Mot bakgrund av att revisionsrttens iakttagelser rr tre olika system (allmnna budgeten, EKSG och EUF), tar sig kommissionen att ta fram det bsta sttet att i rsbokslutet fra upp de rntesubventionsbelopp som frskotteras till EIB.
The Commission will also endeavour to establish how best to harmonise the procedure for entering subsidies in the accounts in so far as the separate agreements permit. 
Kommissionen kommer ven att frska att p bsta mjliga stt harmonisera bokfringsrutinerna fr rntesubventionerna i de fall konventionerna mjliggr detta.
3.14. The Commission agrees with the Court that interest earnings generated by funds held on current account at the EIB should be shown as a receivable item. 
3.14 Kommissionen hller med revisionsrtten om att rnteinkomster frn medel som finns p lpande konton i EIB borde ha tagits upp som en fordran.
CONCLUSION 4.1. Interest rate subsidies are granted in order to contribute to a number of different objectives where economic and political conditions vary considerably within the Union. 
SLUTSATS 4.1 Syftet med att bevilja rntesubventioner r att uppn olika ml inom skilda omrden dr de ekonomiska och politiska villkoren inom EU varierar mycket.
It is therefore inappropriate to sacrifice the variety of subsidy mechanisms and the way these are managed for the sole purpose of having a uniform system. 
Drfr r det olmpligt att offra variationerna i subventionsmekanismerna och de stt som dessa handlggs p enkom fr att f ett enhetligt system.
The Commission, however, bears the overall budgetary and political responsibility for the measures discussed. 
Kommissionen har dock det vergripande budgetra och politiska ansvaret fr de tgrder som diskuteras.
The Commission is of the opinion that the procedures established relating to the implementation of the mechanisms in question are appropriate and guarantee the respect of EU legislation and rules. 
Kommissionen anser att de redan befintliga stten att genomfra mekanismerna i frga r lmpliga och garanterar att EU:s lagstiftning och regler efterlevs.
The Commission undertakes to look into ways of improving and harmonising presentation of the financial statements from the point of view of interest-rate subsidies. 
4.2 Kommissionen tar sig att underska hur presentationen av rsboksluten kan frbttras och harmoniseras vad gller rnte-subventionerna.
The cooperation agreements with the EIB regulate in detail the delegation of the financial and technical work to the Bank, whose long standing activity and solid know-how in the financial field are beyond any doubt. 
4.3 I samarbetsavtalen med EIB detaljregleras delegeringen av finans-och fackuppgifterna till banken, vars mngriga verksamhet och solida sakkunskap p finansomrdet str utom allt tvivel.
The EIB provides the Commission with sufficient financial and technical data to allow for an efficient control i.e. respecting the principle of avoiding unnecessary duplication of work and safeguarding a reasonable relationship between use of resources and results obtained. 
EIB ger kommissionen tillrckliga finansiella och fackmssiga data fr att en effektiv kontroll skall kunna upprtthllas. P s stt kan ondigt dubbelarbete undvikas och en rimlig balans uppns mellan anvnda medel och uppndda resultat.
The responsibilities and division of tasks between the Commission and the EIB for operations in the ACP countries under the Lom Convention are described in the internal agreement, signed by the Member StatesŐ Representatives on 20 December 1995. 
Ansvarsfrhllandena och uppgiftsfrdelningen mellan kommissionen och EIB vad gller transaktioner i AVS-lnderna i enlighet med Lomkonventionen finns beskrivna i den internverenskom-melse som undertecknades av medlemsstaternas fretrdare den 20 december 1995.
This agreement will be renewed on the occasion of the next Convention. 
Denna verenskommelse kommer att frnyas i samband med nsta konvention.
The Commission will consider the CourtŐs suggestion and investigate the extent to which management of the interest rate subsidy instruments could be harmonised and centralised. 
4.4 Kommissionen kommer att vervga revisionsrttens frslag och underska i vilken mn handlggningen av rntesubventions-instrument kan harmoniseras och centraliseras.

C 276/2 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 29.9.1999 SUMMARY Overseas countries and territories (OCTs) of a number of Member States associated with the then European Economic Community, receive financial and technical aid from the EDF in accordance with the provisions laid down in the relevant Council Decisions. 
C 276/2 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 29.9.1999 SAMMANFATTNING Ett flertal medlemsstaters utomeuropeiska lnder och territorier (ULT) som associerats med dvarande Europeiska ekonomiska gemenskapen mottar finansiellt och tekniskt bistnd frn EUF i enlighet med bestmmelserna i tillmpliga rdsbeslut.
According to these provisions a total amount of ECU 240 million from EDF resources is available from the sixth and the seventh EDF. 
Enligt dessa bestmmelser r totalt 240 miljoner ecu av EUF:s medel tillgngliga frn den sjtte och sjunde EUF.
Of this amount ECU 149,5 million is reserved for programmable aid to be allocated to individual OCTs (20) by the Member States to which they are linked. 
Av detta belopp har 149,5 miljoner ecu avsatts fr programbistnd som skall frdelas mellan enskilda ULT (20 stycken) av de medlemsstater till vilka de har anknytning.
Furthermore an amount of ECU 21,5 million is available for regional cooperation and ECU 69 million for so-called non-programmable aid (mainly risk capital, Stabex funds and interest subsidies). 
Ytterligare 21,5 miljoner ecu finns tillgngliga fr regionalt samarbete och 69 miljoner ecu fr s.k. bistnd utanfr program (frmst riskkapital, Stabexmedel och rntesubventioner).
