Implementation is most advanced in the Poland-Germany programme but one of the main problems the programme was designed to tackle, the long waiting times at border crossings, persists (see paragraphs 17-22). 
Genomfrandet har kommit lngst i programmet fr Polen-Tyskland men ett av de viktigaste problemen som programmet skulle avhjlpa kvarstr, nmligen de lnga vntetiderna vid grnsvergngarna (se punkterna 17-22).
The Albania-Greece, Albania-Italy (see paragraph 33), Bulgaria-Greece (see paragraphs 29-31 and 47) and Slovak Republic-Austria programmes (see paragraph 26) have all experienced significant difficulties. 
Fr programmen som gller Albanien-Grekland, Albanien-Italien (se punkt 33), Bulgarien-Grekland (se punkterna 29-31 och 47) och Slovakien-sterrike (se punkt 26) har man sttt p betydande svrigheter.
Problems in implementing the CBC programme partly stem from the excessively large budget of ECU 150 million allocated to the programme by the European Parliament at its inception (see paragraph 67). 
Problemen med att genomfra programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete hnger delvis samman med den verdrivet stora budget p 150 miljoner ecu som Europaparlamentet anslog till programmet vid starten (se punkt 67).
The CommissionŐs allocation of this budget between individual Phare countries did not adequately take account of 1 ( ) Albania, Bulgaria, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Hungary and the Slovak Republic. their relative absorption capacities for cross-border projects (see paragraphs 71-72). 
D denna budget skulle frdelas mellan enskilda Phare-lnder tog kommissionen inte heller tillrcklig hnsyn till lndernas relativa absorptionsfrmga 1 ( ) Albanien, Bulgarien, fre detta jugoslaviska republiken Makedonien, Ungern och Slovakien. vad gller grnsverskridande projekt (se punkterna 71-72).
The Commission followed a policy of fully committing the budget, even if projects are not yet adequately prepared or have only a limited impact at cross-border and regional level (see paragraph 73). 
Kommissionen fljde policyn att gra taganden fr hela budgeten fullt ut, ven om projekten nnu inte r frberedda p ett adekvat stt eller om de endast har begrnsad verkan p grnsverskridande och regional niv (se punkt 73).
The impact of the CBC programme has been reduced by the very limited harmonisation with the Interreg programme. 
Verkan av programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete har minskats av att harmoniseringen med Interreg-programmet r mycket begrnsad.
Only in very few cases were joint projects established. 
Det r endast i ett ftal fall som gemensamma projekt har upprttats.
This is mainly the result of the lack of compatibility between Interreg and Phare procedures (see paragraphs 68-70). 
Detta r huvudsakligen en fljd av den bristflliga harmoniseringen mellan Interreg-och Phare-frfaranden (se punkterna 68-70).
The scope of CBC projects has been very wide and, particularly in those countries with insufficient regional administrative capacities, has often overlapped with the content of projects financed from Phare national programmes. 
Rckvidden fr projekt inom programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete har varit mycket stor och ofta till sitt innehll verlappat projekt som finansieras via nationella Phare-program, srskilt i lnder med otillrcklig regional administrativ kapacitet.
Insufficient priority has been given to projects which are primarily for the benefit of the population of the border regions. 
Drfr har projekt som i frsta hand r avsedda att vara till gagn fr befolkningen i grnsregionerna givits otillrcklig prioritet.
To ensure the interests of the border regions are properly addressed, a larger share of the CBC programme should focus on relatively small projects with a strong local/regional and cross-border impact. 
En stor del av programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete skall inrikta sig p relativt sm projekt med stark lokal/regional och grnsverskridande verkan fr att skerstlla att grnsregionernas intressen tillgodoses p ett bra stt.
Notwithstanding the fact that the new guidelines of the Commission for the Phare programme require a minimum project size of ECU 2 million, greater use should be made of small project fund (SPF) facilities, including the establishment of a common SPF managed jointly by local authorities in adjacent EU and Phare country border regions (see paragraphs 54 and 91). 
Trots det faktum att kommissionens nya riktlinjer fr Phare-programmen krver en minimi-projektstorlek p 2 miljoner ecu, skall mjligheter fr smskaliga projekt utnyttjas i hgre grad, bl.a. genom inrttandet av en gemensam fond fr smskaliga projekt som frvaltas gemensamt av lokala myndigheter i EU-och Phare-lnder med gemensam grns (se punkterna 54 och 91).
Within Phare countries further steps should be taken to decentralise implementation. 
Inom Phare-lnderna br ytterligare tgrder vidtas fr att decentralisera genomfrandet.
CBC funds should be allocated to regions and on a multiannual basis. 
Medlen inom programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete skall ansls till regioner, p flerrig basis.
More responsibility should be given to Euroregions (2) for project coordination (see paragraphs 54 and 81). 
Euroregioner (2) br f strre ansvar fr projektsamordning (se punkterna 54 och 81).
As the procedures for implementing the CBC programme are more decentralised than for Phare national programmes, the Commission should consider a corresponding deconcentration of its management of the programme whilst ensuring that its Delegations are adequately staffed for the purpose notably in regard to engineers (see paragraphs 76-78). 
Eftersom frfarandena fr genomfrande av programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete r mer decentraliserade n frfarandena inom de nationella Phare-programmen, br kommissionen vervga en motsvarande utlokalisering av frvaltningen av programmet och samtidigt se till att dess delegationer har den personal som krvs fr ndamlet, srskilt p ingenjrssidan (se punkterna 76-78).
Given the results achieved at institutional level, if the Commission can overcome the shortcomings which have reduced the impact of the programme mainly at project level, a good basis exists for the further financing of the CBC programme (see paragraphs 94-97). 
Med tanke p de resultat som uppntts p institutionsniv finns det, om kommissionen kan avhjlpa de brister som har minskat verkan av programmet framfr allt p projektniv, en god grund fr vidare finansiering av programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete (se punkterna 94-97).

As shown in Table 1, almost half of the Phare CBC funds have been devoted to transport and communication projects.

Poland-Germany CBC transport projects 17. 
Transportprojekt inom programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete fr Polen-Tyskland 17.
In the Poland-Germany CBC programme, ECU 115 million were committed in the transport sector, mainly to improve infrastructure and related access roads at several of the main border crossings with Germany. 
I den polsk-tyska delen av programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete gjordes taganden fr 115 miljoner ecu inom transportsektorn, i huvudsak fr att frbttra infrastrukturen och tillfartsvgarna vid flera av de stora grnsvergngarna till Tyskland.
The objective of these projects was to tackle the long waiting times to cross the border, particularly for freight traffic but also local traffic, which had developed as a result of the increase in trade since 1990 (1). 
Mlet med dessa projekt var att f bukt med de lnga vntetiderna vid grnsvergngar, srskilt fr godstrafik men ven fr lokal trafik, som har uppsttt till fljd av att handeln kat sedan 1990 (1).
Thus in 1994 waiting times on the German-Polish border for lorries were of the order of 30 hours. 
1994 var vntetiderna fr lastbilar vid tysk-polska grnsen i storleksordningen 30 timmar.
18. Although these projects address a high priority need in the Polish-German border region, their impact has been reduced both by delays on the part of the Polish authorities and the Commission in contracting the works to be carried out and by other factors such as the inadequate management of border crossings, the poor state of the Polish road network and environmental restrictions. 
18. ven om dessa projekt gller ett hgprioriterat behov i den polsk-tyska grnsregionen har deras verkan minskats bde av frseningar frn de polska myndigheternas och kommissionens sida vad gller att ing avtal om de anlggningsarbeten som skulle utfras och av faktorer som sammanhnger med den otillrckliga frvaltningen av grnsvergngar, det polska vgntets dliga skick samt miljrestriktioner.
The 1994 programme provided co-financing (ECU 5,5 million) for a new freight terminal at the major Swiecko-Frankfurt an der Oder border crossing. 
Inom programmet fr 1994 gavs delfinansiering (5,5 miljoner ecu) till en ny godsterminal vid den strsta grnsvergngen Swiecko-Frankfurt an der Oder.
The CBC financing (15 %) served as a stop-gap after the Polish authorities ran out of their own funds to complete the project. 
Finansieringen genom programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete (15 %) tjnade som utfyll-nad sedan de polska myndigheternas egna medel fr att slutfra projektet tagit slut.
The project was completed in mid-1995 using accelerated procedures. 
Projektet slutfrdes i mitten av 1995 med hjlp av pskyndade frfaranden.
As a result of the project, border waiting times for lorries have dropped from 36 hours to 10-12 hours but this is still significant and considerably more than the project objective of 30 minutes. 
Som ett resultat av projektet har vntetiden vid grnsen fr lastbilar sjunkit frn 36 timmar till 10-12 timmar vilket fortfarande r en avsevrd och alltfr lng tid med tanke p projektets ml p 30 minuter.
While the continuing waiting times are partly due to further increases in the volume of traffic using this crossing, understaffing of the terminal by Polish customs officials and the failure of the Polish authorities to build a special access road from the border to the terminal are also reasons for the clearing procedure still being so long. 
De fortsatta vntetiderna beror delvis p ytterligare kningar av trafikvolymen vid denna grnsvergng, men de alltfr f polska tulltjnstemnnen vid terminalen och det faktum att de polska myndigheterna inte lyckats bygga en srskild tillfartsvg frn grnsen till terminalen bidrar ocks till att klareringen fortfarande tar lng tid.
The implementation of two other major border crossing projects at Gubin (ECU 20,8 million) and Olszyna (ECU 15 million), also funded from the 1994 Poland-Germany CBC programme, took much longer to complete although the financing memorandum foresaw completion of the projects by December 1996. 
Genomfrandet av tv andra stora grnsvergngsprojekt vid Gubin (20,8 miljoner ecu) och Olszyna (15 miljoner ecu), som ocks finansieras via Polen-Tyskland-delen av programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete frn 1994, tog mycket lngre tid att slutfra ven om projekten enligt finansieringsavtalet skulle vara slutfrda i december 1996.
Olszyna was only completed in October 1998 while Gubin was rescheduled for completion in May 1999. 
Olszyna slutfrdes frst i oktober 1998 och Gubin fick ett nytt schema med slutfrande i maj 1999.
The delays are principally due to the excessive time required by the Polish authorities and the Commission to prepare the tender documentation and award the contracts. 
Frseningarna beror huvudsakligen p att de polska myndigheterna och kommissionen behvt alltfr lng tid fr att ta fram anbudshandlingarna och tilldela kontrakten.
Border waiting times at these two crossings were also of the order of 10 hours. 
Vntetiderna vid dessa bda grnsvergngar var ocks i storleksordningen 10 timmar.
Swiecko, Gubin and Olszyna were among the six border crossings with the longest crossing times in Europe in November 1998 (2). 
Swiecko, Gubin and Olszyna hrde till de sex grnsvergngar i Europa dr det i november 1998 tog lngst tid att passera (2).
Two further completed projects at Kolbaskowo (ECU 10 million) and Osinow Dolny (ECU 1,2 million) have improved the access roads to these border crossings. 
Ytterligare tv projekt som slutfrts, vid Kolbaskowo (10 miljoner ecu) och Osinow Dolny (1,2 miljoner ecu) har lett till att tillfartsvgarna till dessa grnsvergngar frbttrats.
However, the usefulness of the Osinow Dolny project has been reduced because, contrary to what was foreseen in the financing memorandum, the German authorities have not opened up the border crossing to lorries for environmental reasons. 
Nyttan med Osinow Dolny-projektet har emellertid minskat, eftersom de tyska myndigheterna i motsats till vad som angavs i finansieringsavtalet av miljskl inte har ppnat grnsvergngen fr lastbilar.
The same restriction on lorries is also threatening to lessen the impact of large scale improvements being financed to the road from the border at Kostrzyn to Gorzow Wielkopolski (ECU 9,4 million). 
Samma restriktion fr lastbilar hotar ocks att minska verkan av de storskaliga frbttringar av vgen frn grnsen vid Kostrzyn till Gorzow Wielkopolski fr vilka finansiering erhlls (9,4 miljoner ecu).
It would have been expected that the selection of the projects by a Polish-German Joint Programming and Monitoring Committee (JPMC) would have drawn attention to such restrictions (3) at an early stage. 
Man borde ha kunnat vnta sig att dessa restriktioner skulle ha uppmrksammats tidigt eftersom en polsk-tysk gemensam program-och kontrollkommitt valt ut projekten (3).
The impact of improvements to border crossings is further weakened by other factors: (a) approximately half of the lorries crossing the German-Polish border are in transit to countries east of Poland (4) and face serious delays on PolandŐs eastern border (5); (b) the underdeveloped nature and deteriorating physical condition of the Polish road network. 
Effekten av frbttringarna av grnsvergngarna frsvagas ytterligare av andra faktorer: a) Ungefr hlften av de lastbilar som kr ver den tysk-polska grnsen r p vg till lnder ster om Polen (4) och drabbas av kraftiga frseningar vid Polens stra grns (5). b) Det underutvecklade polska vgntet och dess allt smre fysiska beskaffenhet.
In 1997, only 24 % of the main roads in Poland were in a satisfactory state (4); (c) improvements in the physical infrastructure at border crossings have not been accompanied by corresponding improvements in the management of border crossings (6). 
1997 var endast 24 % av huvudvgarna i Polen i tillfredsstllande skick (4). c) Frbttringar av den fysiska infrastrukturen vid grnsvergngarna har inte tfljts av motsvarande frbttringar inom frvaltningen av grnsvergngarna (6).

Significant CBC funding is also being used to finance bypasses round several Polish towns (Zielona Gora (ECU 3,3 million), Jele-nia Gora (ECU 3,8 million), Gorzow (ECU 10 million), Pniewy (ECU 3,1 million)). 
Betydande medel frn programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete anvnds ocks fr att finansiera frbifartsleder kring flera polska stder ([Zielona Gora [3,3 miljoner ecu], Jelenia Gora [3,8 miljoner ecu], Gorzow [10 miljoner ecu], och Pniewy (3,1 miljoner ecu]).
While these projects are useful in themselves for relieving congestion, the distance of 50 km to 150 km from these towns to the border means that the projects have only a limited direct cross-border impact, for which reason their financing under the Phare national programme would have been more appropriate. 
Tack vare dessa projekt minskar visserligen trafik-stockningarna, men stderna i frga ligger 50-150 km frn grnsen, vilket innebr att projektens direkta grnsverskridande verkan r begrnsad, varfr det hade varit lmpligare att finansiera dem inom ramen fr det nationella Phare-programmet.
Czech Republic-Germany CBC transport projects 24. 
Transportprojekt inom ramen fr programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete fr Tjeckien-Tyskland 24.
In the Czech Republic-Germany CBC programme ECU 28,3 million has been committed in the transport sector. 
Inom Tjeckien-Tyskland-delen av programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete har taganden p 28,3 miljoner ecu gjorts inom transportsektorn.
The main CBC transport project implemented to date has been the modernisation of Cheb railway station (ECU 12,9 million), the second biggest rail border crossing between the Czech Republic and Germany. 
Det viktigaste transportprojekt inom programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete som hittills genomfrts r moderniseringen av jrnvgsstationen i Cheb (12,9 miljoner ecu), den nst strsta jrnvgsgrnsvergngen mellan Tjeckien och Tyskland.
This project was originally based on an agreement between the German and Czech railways to prioritise improvements to the Nrnberg-Prague line. 
Detta projekt byggde ursprungligen p en verenskommelse mellan tyska och tjeckiska jrnvgen om att prioritera frbttringar av linjen Nrnberg-Prag.
A decision by the German railways (Deutsche Bahn) in April 1996 to focus instead on the Nrnberg-Dresden line has led to less traffic than expected passing through Cheb (see Map No 1). 
Ett beslut frn tyska jrnvgen (Deutsche Bahn) i april 1996 om att i stllet inrikta satsningarna p linjen Nrnberg-Dresden har medfrt att mindre trafik n vntat passerar Cheb (se karta 1).
As a result there is a considerable overcapacity following the Phare investment: train capacity was increased by 32 % while the number of trains has remained the same. 
Fljden av detta r en avsevrd verkapacitet efter Phare-investeringen: tgkapaciteten kade med 32 % medan antalet tg har frblivit detsamma som tidigare.
Mar-shalling capacity has increased by 42 % but the number of goods wagons handled actually fell by 12 % from 1995 to 1997. 
Rangeringskapaciteten har kat med 42 % men antalet hanterade godsvagnar sjnk i sjlva verket med 12 % mellan 1995 och 1997.
Czech-Austrian, Slovenian-Austrian and Slovak-Austrian CBC Transport Projects 25. 
Transportprojekt inom programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete fr Tjeckien-sterrike, Slovenien-sterrike och Slovakien-sterrike 25.
The CBC programme has had little impact on the transport sector in the framework of programmes between Phare countries and Austria despite the priority assigned to this sector in the Phare countriesŐ 1995 to 1999 multiannual indicative programmes (MIP). 
Programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete har haft fga verkan p transportsektorn inom ramen fr program mellan Phare-lnder och sterrike, trots den prioritet denna sektor gavs i de flerriga vgledande programmen fr Phare-lnderna fr 1995Đ1999.
Thus in the Czech Republic-Austria MIP, which is for ECU 30 million, the main transport project being financed by CBC is a ECU 1,7 million 52 km bicycle path in the Lipno region to link up with the Austrian cycle path network. While this project is Map No 1 Railway lines in the German-Czech border region 
I det flerriga vgledande programmet fr Tjeckien-sterrike, som omfattar 30 miljoner ecu, r det viktigaste transportprojekt som finansieras via programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete en 52 km lng cykelbana fr 1,7 miljoner ecu i Lipno-regionen som skall anslutas till det sterrikiska cykelbane-ntet. ven om detta projekt troligen strker turismen i regionen, Karta nr 1 Jrnvgslinjer i grnsomrdet mellan Tyskland och Tjeckien
C 48/6 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 21.2.2000 likely to enhance tourism in the region, the CBC programme has no impact on the problems of the transport sector referred to in the Czech Republic-Austria CBC MIP which stated that Ôfor the revival of the rural border area, it is important to reconstruct, modernise and extend the road ... and ... railway system ... and to update the connection between the Czech and Austrian transport systems in the border regionŐ (1). 
C 48/6 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 21.2.2000 har programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete ingen verkan p de problem inom transportsektorn som det hnvisas till i det flerriga vgledande programmet fr grnsverskridande samarbete fr Tjeckien-sterrike, dr det sgs att fr att landsbygdens grnsomrden skall terhmta sig r det viktigt att rekonstruera, modernisera och utvidga vg-... och ... jrnvgssystemet ... och att uppdatera frbindelsen mellan Tjeckiens och sterrikes respektive transportsystem i grnsregionen (1).
Transport projects in the Slovenia-Austria programme were similarly largely limited to cycle paths despite the MIP prioritising the modernisation of border crossings and the related road network. 
Transportprojekten i Slovenien-sterrike var ocks i stort sett begrnsade till cykelbanor trots att man i det vgledande programmet prioriterade moderniseringen av grnsvergngar och det drmed frknippade vgntet.
In Slovakia the impact of two projects completed in 1998 to establish new local border crossings with Austria (ECU 0,4 million) was uncertain because the two countries had still to reach an agreement to open the border at these locations. 
I Slovakien slutfrdes tv projekt 1998 i syfte att upprtta nya lokala grnsvergngar till sterrike (0,4 miljoner ecu) men resultatet r oskert, eftersom de bda lnderna fortfarande inte hade ntt ngon verenskommelse om att ppna grnsen p dessa stllen.
As for the project, referred in paragraph 21 above, it would have been expected that such issues would have been cleared at the level of the JPMC before the financing decision was made. 
Vad gller det projekt som det hnvisas till i punkt 21 ovan kunde man ha vntat sig att sdana frgor skulle ha retts ut p den gemensamma program-och kontrollkommittns niv innan beslut om finansiering fattades.
