Of the projects/programmes examined in the audit, practically every one that includes a procurement component (for works, supplies or services), has experienced problems, and often delays, in this respect, for a variety of reasons. 
Av de projekt/program som granskades har praktiskt taget alla de med en upphandlingskomponent (fr bygg-och anlggningsarbeten, varor eller tjnster) haft problem, och ofta ven frseningar, av olika anledningar.
Many calls for tenders have had to be cancelled and repeated for lack of a sufficient number of technically valid offers. 
Mnga upphandlingsfrfaranden mste stllas in och gras om p grund av ett otillrckligt antal tekniskt giltiga anbud.
Procurement procedures are generally considered to be complicated and local project management units and tenderers are not always fully acquainted with them. 
Upphandlingsfrfaranden anses i allmnhet vara komplicerade, och lokala projektledningsenheter och anbudsgivare r inte alltid helt bekanta med dem.
In Egypt, for instance, small local contractors had problems complying with the administrative requirements for tenders, because all tender documents were in English. 
I Egypten hade till exempel sm lokala kontraktsparter problem med att uppfylla de administrativa kraven fr upphandling, eftersom alla upphandlingsdokument var p engelska.
The rule that supplies have to be of European or Mediterranean origin poses another regular problem, especially when computer or electronic equipment is involved. 
Regeln om att varor skall komma frn Europa eller frn Medelhavsomrdet r ett annat vanligt problem, srskilt nr det gller datautrustning eller elektronisk utrustning.
The audit has shown that as a result of devolution Delegations, with their specialised finance and contracts staff now on the spot, can and do play an important role by helping project managers and local administrations to deal with the procedural aspects of procurement. 
Vid granskningen framkom att delegeringen har lett till att delegationerna, dr personal som r specialiserad p finansiella frgor och kontrakt nu finns p plats, kan ha och har en viktig roll nr det gller att hjlpa projektfrvaltare och lokala administrationer att hantera frfarandeaspekter av upphandling.
For example, it was found that the Delegation in Morocco now organises information meetings prior to This overall positive assessment does not mean that (5) See Mid-term evaluation, paragraph 6.2.

In Egypt the Delegation also helped to supervise and guide the tender process for an important construction component, which might otherwise have been cancelled for lack of time within the remaining project period. 
I Egypten hjlpte ocks delegationen till att vervaka och styra ett upphandlingsfrfarande fr en viktig byggkomponent, vilket kanske annars skulle ha stllts in p grund av tidsbrist inom den terstende projektperioden.
In addition the Delegation in Egypt was in the process of examining the possibility of having tender documents translated into Arabic. 
Delegationen i Egypten var dessutom i frd med att underska mjligheterna att verstta upphandlingsdokumenten till arabiska.
For most of the MEDA-II projects the so-called D+3 rule applies, which requires contracts for works, supplies or services to be concluded not later than three years after the date of the budgetary commitment (1). 
Fr de flesta Meda II-projekt tillmpas den s kallade D+3-regeln som krver att kontrakt fr bygg-och anlggningsarbeten, varor eller tjnster skall ings senast tre r efter datumet fr det budgetmssiga tagandet (1).
As a result of this rule several new projects that were about to start implementation at the time of the audit and include considerable procurement components and/or calls for proposals, appear to have only limited time left to complete these activities. Monitoring and evaluation have become more systematic 42. 
Till fljd av denna regel verkar det som om flera nya projekt som just skulle brja genomfras vid tiden fr granskningen och som innehll omfattande upphandlingskomponenter och/eller frslagsinfordringar endast har begrnsad tid kvar att slutfra dessa verksamheter p. vervakningen och utvrderingen har blivit mer systematiska 42.
Systematic appraisals are carried out at the macro-level by the ECŐs Delegations (e.g. quarterly macro-economic reports, regular trade reports, assessments for budget support programmes) and by others (World Bank, IMF), using standard macro-economic indicators, but it is difficult to assess the impact of the CommissionŐs own support at this level. 
Systematiska bedmningar grs p makroniv av EG:s delegationer (till exempel kvartalsvisa makroekonomiska rapporter, regelbundna handelsrapporter och bedmningar fr bud-getstdprogram) och av andra (Vrldsbanken och IMF) dr makroekonomiska standardindikatorer anvnds, men det r svrt att bedma effekten av kommissionens eget std p denna niv.
It is also very difficult to assess the CommissionŐs impact at the level of the EUŐs strategic objectives as defined in the individual country strategy papers (CSPs), particularly when these objectives are described in fairly general terms, such as supporting the process of economic transition and supporting sustainable and balanced socio-economic development, and when no concrete indicators of achievement have been determined. 
Det r ocks mycket svrt att bedma kommissionens inverkan nr det gller EU:s strategiska ml ssom de faststllts i de enskilda landsspecifika strategidokumenten (country strategy papers), i synnerhet nr dessa ml beskrivs i relativt allmnna ordalag, till exempel std till processen fr ekonomiska reformer och till en hllbar och balanserad socioekonomisk utveckling, och nr inga konkreta resultatindikatorer har faststllts.
The main monitoring by the Commission is at the level of individual projects/programmes, where systematic monitoring and evaluation efforts are undertaken and indicators are often used in the logical frameworks. 
Kommissionens huvudsakliga vervakning ligger p de enskilda projektens/programmens niv dr systematiska vervaknings-och utvrderingsinsatser grs och indikatorer ofta anvnds i de logiska ramarna.
The system of external monitoring visits now covers the majority of projects/programmes and provides a regular, external, assessment of project design, results, impact and chances for sustainability. 
Systemet fr externa vervakningsbesk omfattar nu majoriteten av projekten/programmen och ger en regelbunden extern bedmning av projektutformning, resultat, effekter och utsikter till hllbarhet.
Mid-term reviews and end-of-project evaluations are also carried out systematically for most projects/programmes. 
Halvtidsutvrderingar och utvrderingar efter det att projekten har avslutats grs ocks systematiskt fr de flesta projekt/program.
A good initiative has been to carry out evaluations of individual country strategies, as was done for Morocco in 2003 and for Egypt in 2004. 
Ett bra initiativ har varit att utfra utvrderingar av enskilda landstrategier, vilket gjordes fr Marocko 2003 och Egypten 2004.
This has provided useful information that can be taken into account in preparing the next country strategy papers and indicative plans. 
Detta har gett anvndbar information som kan beaktas vid utarbetandet av de nrmast fljande landsspecifika strategidokumenten och vgledande planerna.
However, this exercise was so far limited to these two countries only. 
Detta tillvgagngsstt har n s lnge begrnsats till dessa tv lnder.

A mid-term evaluation for the MEDA II programme was therefore commissioned in early 2004, and a final report produced in July 2005 (2). 
Drfr bestlldes en halvtidsutvrdering av Meda II-programmet i brjan av 2004 och en slutlig rapport lades fram i juli 2005 (2).
A final evaluation for the MEDA programme is now scheduled for the second half of 2007. 
En slutlig utvrdering av Medaprogrammet planeras nu till andra halvret 2007.
The main conclusions of the study, which coincide with the CourtŐs own findings in most respects, are: (a) the relevance of the MEDA programme as the Community assistance instrument supporting the Barcelona Process and the bilateral Association Agreements is judged to be satisfactory. 
De viktigaste slutsatserna i studien, som sammanfaller med revisionsrttens egna iakttagelser p de flesta punkter, r fljande: a) Medaprogrammets relevans som gemenskapens stdinstrument till std fr Barcelonaprocessen och de bilaterala associeringsavtalen bedms vara tillfredsstllande.
It has improved from the MEDA-I to the MEDA-II period; (b) the effectiveness and efficiency of MEDA management and implementation arrangements are improving but are still not fully satisfactory. 
Det har frbttrats frn Meda I-perioden till Meda II-perioden. b) ndamlsenligheten och effektiviteten i Medas frvaltnings-och genomfrandearrangemang hller p att frbttras men r nnu inte helt tillfredsstllande.
Donor coordination efforts have intensified 48. 
Samordningen mellan givare har intensifierats 48.
The audit has shown that the Delegations in the three countries are all quite active in the process of coordination with other donors as well as with the beneficiary authorities. 
Granskningen visade att delegationerna i de tre lnderna alla r ganska aktiva i samordningen med andra givare och med de mottagande myndigheterna.
This is undoubtedly a result of the increase in staff capacity provided as part of the devolution process. 
Detta r otvivelaktigt ett resultat av de kade personalresurser som tillhandahllits som en del av delegeringsprocessen.
In all the countries concerned regular meetings take place between the Commission and EU Member States. 
I alla de berrda lnderna hlls regelbundna mten mellan kommissionen och EU:s medlemsstater.
In addition there are similar systems of donor group meetings with thematic sub-groups, in which the CommissionŐs Delegations often play an active role by chairing one or more such donor groups, depending on the specific sectors of interest. 
Dessutom finns det liknande system med givargruppmten med tematiska delgrupper, dr kommissionens delegationer ofta spelar en aktiv roll genom att leda en eller flera sdana givargrupper beroende p vilken sektor det handlar om.
So far many of the coordination activities consist mainly of exchanging and compiling information on individual donor interventions and considerable scope exists for further coordination efforts in areas such as programming, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. 
Hittills bestr mnga av samordningsaktiviteterna frmst av utbyte och sammanstllning av information om enskilda givar-insatser, och det finns betydande utrymme fr ytterligare samordningsanstrngningar p omrden som programplanering, genomfrande, vervakning och utvrdering.
However the Delegations have taken various initiatives to develop donor coordination and harmonisation activities further. 
Delegationerna har dock tagit olika intitiativ fr att vidareutveckla samordningen och harmoniseringen mellan givare.
CONCLUSIONS Contribution of the MEDA programme 50. 
SLUTSATSER Medaprogrammets bidrag 50.
The EC support provided through the MEDA programme to economic reform and social development in the Mediterranean partner countries has been relevant to the specific needs of the countries concerned and the objectives set for the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. 
Det EG-std som ges genom Medaprogrammet till ekonomiska reformer och social utveckling i partnerlnderna i Medelhavsomrdet har varit relevant fr de srskilda behoven i de berrda lnderna och fr de faststllda mlen fr EuropaĐMedelhavspartnerskapet.
In two countries, Egypt and Jordan, support has been clearly focused on a limited number of sectors, (2) Mid-term evaluation of the MEDA II programme. Final report.

24.8.2006 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 200/11 but this was not the case in Morocco. 
24.8.2006 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 200/11 har inte varit fallet i Marocko.
As the new Action Plans under the European Neighbourhood Policy cover all areas of cooperation, further focusing will be necessary at the level of the country programming documents. 
Eftersom de nya handlingsplanerna inom den europeiska grannskapspolitiken tcker alla samarbetsomrden krvs ytterligare fokusering i de landsspecifika programplaneringsdokumenten.
The Commission has encouraged ownership through its increased use of budget support, but the project support modality will still be needed when a more specific, targeted type of assistance is required. Capacity-building measures are systematically included (see paragraphs 12 to 26). 
Kommissionen har uppmuntrat egenansvar genom att ka anvndningen av budgetstd, men projektstdet kommer fortfarande att behvas nr en mer specifik, mlinriktad typ av std krvs. Kapacitetsuppbyggnadstgr-der ingr systematiskt (se punkterna 12Đ26).
The overall results after more than ten years of MEDA are so far rather limited, as many of the early projects had a slow start, needed extensions and are not yet completed, while for most of the MEDA-II projects it is still too early to be able to assess their potential results (see paragraphs 27 to 30). 
De vergripande resultaten r mer n tio r efter det att Meda inrttades n s lnge ganska begrnsade eftersom mnga av de tidiga programmen hade en lngsam inledning, behvde frlngas och nnu inte har avslutats.
52. Even when the total MEDA funds available are substantial, for most of the MEDA countries the impact of the EC support derives less from its financial importance and more from its attempts to address sensitive policy reform issues and support poorer segments of populations, where its impact is difficult to quantify (see paragraphs 31 and 43). 
52. ven nr de totala tillgngliga Medamedlen r ansenliga beror effekten av EG-stdet i de flesta Medalnder inte s mycket p dess ekonomiska storlek utan mer p dess frsk att ta itu med knsliga politiska reformfrgor och att stdja fattigare befolk-ningssegment, och det r omrden dr dess effekt r svr att kvantifiera (se punkterna 31 och 43).
Commission management 53. 
Kommissionens frvaltning 53.
The CommissionŐs management of the MEDA programme has clearly improved since the early years and can now be considered as satisfactory, also taking into account procedural and external constraints. 
Kommissionens frvaltning av Medaprogrammet har klart frbttrats sedan de frsta ren och kan nu anses var tillfredsstllande, ocks om man tar hnsyn till begrnsningar som beror p frfaranden och externa begrnsningar.
Programming efforts have resulted in a more even allocation of resources over time, preparation periods have become shorter, and overall disbursements have increased to a significantly higher level compared to the early MEDA period (see paragraphs 32 to 37). 
Anstrngningar i programplaneringen har lett till en jmnare frdelning av resurserna ver tiden, frberedelseperioderna har blivt kortare och de totala utbetalningarna har kat till en vsentligt hgre niv jmfrt med den tidiga Medaperioden (se punkterna 32Đ37).
Contributing factors to these improvements are an overall increase in the number of projects/programmes under implementation, a larger share of budget support within the total programme, and the generally positive effect of devolution on the process of project preparation and implementation by delegations (see paragraph 38). 
Faktorer som har bidragit till dessa frbttringar r en generell kning av antal projekt/program under genomfrande, en strre andel budgetstd i programmet som helhet och den allmnt positiva effekt som delegeringen har haft p delegationernas projektutformnings-och genomfrandeprocess (se punkt 38).
The most common cause of implementation delays remains procurement problems, although Delegations have been actively looking for ways to contain such problems (see paragraphs 39 and 40). 
Den vanligaste orsaken till frseningar i genomfrandet r fortfarande upphandlingsproblem, ven om delegationerna aktivt har frskt hitta stt att begrnsa problem av det slaget (se punkterna 39 och 40).
Because the CommissionŐs management of the MEDA programme has exercised both patience and flexibility, by allowing project extensions and changes to designs where necessary, MEDA-I projects and programmes have generally achieved or will in the end achieve satisfactory results. 
Eftersom kommissionen i sin frvaltning av Medaprogrammet har visat tlamod och flexibilitet genom att vid behov tillta projektfrlngningar och ndringar av utformningen har Meda I-projekt och Meda I-program i allmnhet uppntt, eller kommer i slutndan att uppn, tillfredsstllande resultat.
The so-called D+3 rule, which has applied to projects since 2003, may prevent such long term commitment and flexibility, thereby reducing the chances of economic reform and social development producing sustainable results (see paragraphs 29, 30 and 41). 
Den s kallade D+3-regeln, som har tillmpats p projekt sedan 2003, kan eventuellt frhindra sdana lngfristiga taganden och sdan lngfristig flexibilitet och drigenom minska utsikterna till att de ekonomiska reformerna och den sociala utvecklingen fr hllbara resultat (se punkterna 29, 30 och 41).
Other improvements in the CommissionŐs overall project management consist of more systematic monitoring and evaluation efforts and more intensive dialogue and coordination between Delegations and local counterparts and other donors (see paragraphs 42 to 49). 
Andra frbttringar i kommissionens vergripande projektfrvaltning r mer systematiska vervaknings-och utvrderingsinsatser och intensivare dialog och samordning mellan delegationerna och lokala motparter och andra givare (se punkterna 42Đ49).
