In a forest fire case in 2003, the authorities sent the Commission the information it had requested the next day. 
I ett fall med en skogsbrand 2003 snde myndigheterna pfljande dag den information kommissionen hade begrt.
At the other extreme, in a case of 2003, the assessment took 12,5 months. 
Den andra ytterligheten r ett fall frn 2003 dr bedmningen tog 12,5 mnader.
The reason was that the national authorities sent a huge but incomplete package of supporting documentation in their national language. 
Anledningen var att de nationella myndigheterna snde en mycket stor mngd styrkande underlag som var ofullstndiga och skrivna p det nationella sprket.
The Court examined how the applicants view the duration of the assessment phase (see Table 4). 
Revisionsrtten underskte hur de skande ser p tidstgngen fr bedmningsfasen (se tabell 4).
According to the survey data, more than half of the successful applicants and also two thirds of the unsuccessful applicants found the CommissionŐs time spent for the assessment of their application to be reasonable. 
Enligt uppgifterna frn enkten ansg ver hlften av de skande som godknts och ven tv tredjedelar av de skande som inte godknts att den tid kommissionen hade gnat t bedmningen av deras anskan var rimlig.

Tabell 4 Procentandel skande som anser att bedmningsfasen r rimlig eller fr lng eller som har andra sikter 15.
Interestingly enough, the unsuccessful applicants appear to be more ÔpatientŐ than the successful applicants. 
Intressant nog verkar de skande som inte godkndes vara mer ÓtlmodigaÓ n de skande som godkndes.
It is worth remarking that only one unsuccessful applicant considered the time taken by the Commission as Ôtoo longŐ. 
Det r vrt att ppeka att endast en skande som inte godkndes ansg att den tid kommissionen tog p sig var Ófr lngÓ.
Following the decision in principle by the Commission, the budget phase commences. 
Efter kommissionens principbeslut brjar budgetfasen.
The Commission prepares a Ôbudgetary requestŐ which is presented to the budgetary authority (Council and Parliament). 
Kommissionen frbereder en ÓbudgetbegranÓ som lggs fram fr budgetmyndigheten (rdet och parlamentet).
This budgetary amending procedure takes more than two months on average but can increase to four months during holiday periods (see Textbox 2). 
Detta budgetnd-ringsfrfarande tar i genomsnitt ver tv mnader men kan ta upp till fyra mnader under semestertider (se textruta 2).
Textbox 2 Passing the budgetary amending procedure For two flooding applications in 2005, the decision in principle was taken in December 2005 but the budget amendment was only approved in April 2006, four months later.

For a flooding case in 2004, the decision in principle was taken in June 2005 and the budget amendment was only approved in September 2005, three months later. 
I ett versvmningsfall 2004 fattades principbeslutet i juni 2005 och budgetndringen godkndes inte frrn i september 2005, tre mnader senare.
Three months on average to get all documents signed. 
Det tar i genomsnitt tre mnader att f alla dokument undertecknade.
Once the necessary financial resources have been made available in the budget, the Commission adopts a grant decision and concludes an agreement with the applicant. 
Nr de ndvndiga ekonomiska resurserna har gjorts tillgngliga i budgeten fattar kommissionen ett bidragsbeslut och ingr en verenskommelse med den skande.
This agreement sets out the type and location of operations to be financed by the Fund. 
I denna verenskommelse faststlls art och plats fr de insatser som ska finansieras av fonden.

18.6.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 153/7 months. Abnormal delays were however observed in seven cases which were due to the applicants taking too much time to submit the requested documents, which is sometimes as simple as the bank account identification number for the payment. 
18.6.2008 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 153/7 att det tog lng tid fr de skande att lmna in de begrda handlingarna, vilket i vissa fall var ngot s enkelt som ett bankkon-tonummer fr utbetalningen.
The method by which documents are sent to the Commission can also cause delay. 
Sttet att snda in handlingar till kommissionen kan ocks orsaka frseningar.
For instance some applicants who returned the signed grant agreement by diplomatic mail to their permanent representation, who then forwarded it to the Commission found that this in fact was slower than direct post mail. 
Till exempel upptckte ngra skande som returnerade den undertecknade bidragsverenskommelsen per diplomatpost till sin permanenta representation, som i sin tur skickade den vidare till kommissionen, att detta i sjlva verket var lngsammare n den vanliga postgngen.
The sum of the average time for the budget phase and the average time for the grant decision phase represents almost half of the average time from the date of disaster to the date of obtaining aid from the Fund. 
Summan av den genomsnittliga tiden fr budgetfasen och den genomsnittliga tiden fr bidragsbeslutsfasen utgr nstan hlften av den genomsnittliga tiden frn datumet fr katastrofen till datumet fr erhllande av std frn fonden.
Hence, making the financial resources available and getting all documents signed takes as much time as assessing an application. 
Drmed tar det lika lng tid att gra de ekonomiska resurserna tillgngliga och f alla handlingar undertecknade som att bedma en anskan.
Almost one month on average to pay. 
Det tar i genomsnitt nstan en mnad att gra utbetalningen.
As shown in Table 3, the average time for the payment phase is 24 days. 
Ssom framgr av tabell 3 tar betalningsfasen i genomsnitt 24 dagar.
Once the agreement has been signed by both parties, the payment itself usually takes less than one month, but it can take longer. 
Nr verenskommelsen vl har undertecknats av bda parter tar det vanligtvis mindre n en mnad att gra sjlva betalningen, men det kan ta lngre tid.
This is the case if the signed agreement is only received by the Commission at the beginning of the budget year. 
Detta r fallet om den undertecknade verenskommelsen inte inkommer till kommissionen frrn i brjan av budgetret.
Then Ń due to accounting procedures at the end and beginning of the year Ń the payment will not be made before the month of March. 
P grund av redovisningsfrfaranden i slutet och brjan av ret sker betalningen d inte fre mars mnad.
What factors account for variation in time taken for obtaining aid from the Fund? 
Vilka faktorer avgr hur lng tid det tar att f std frn fonden?
So far, this report has presented the average time taken for each of the five phases in the process of obtaining aid from the Fund. 
Hittills har rapporten handlat om hur lng tid var och en av de fem faserna i genomsnitt tar i processen fr att erhlla std frn fonden.
The Court sought to identify factors which might account for the variation. 
Revisionsrtten ville identifiera vilka faktorer som kan ligga till grund fr variationen.
So the Court examined the extent to which variation is explained by the category of the disaster, the type of the disaster and the country where the disaster took place. 
Drfr granskade revisionsrtten i vilken utstrckning varje variation kunde frklaras av katastrofens kategori, katastrofens art eller i vilket land katastrofen intrffade.
Three categories of disaster were distinguished: major, neighbouring and regional disasters. 
Man skilde mellan tre kategorier av katastrofer: strre, angrnsande och regionala katastrofer.
With respect to their type, the disasters were classified as flooding, forest fire, storm, earthquake, oilspill, adverse weather, volcanic eruption and explosion. 
Nr det gller katastrofernas art klassificerades de som versvmning, skogsbrand, storm, jordbvning, oljeutslpp, ogynnsamma vderfrhllanden, vulkanutbrott och explosion.
No significant relationship between the category of disaster and time taken for obtaining aid from the Fund was found. The same holds for the type of disaster and the country where the disaster took place. 
Inga tydliga kopplingar kunde noteras mellan de olika katastrofkategorierna och den tid det tog att f std frn fonden. Samma sak gller fr katastrofens art och i vilket land katastrofen intrffade.
An example of the analysis of variation in time taken for obtaining aid from the Fund is presented in Table 6. 
Ett exempel frn analysen av variation i tidstgngen fr att erhlla std frn fonden ges i tabell 6.
As can be seen, the type of disaster does not account for a significant part of the variation in time the applicant needs to present the case to the Commission. 
Ssom framgr av denna analys pverkar inte katastrofens art i ngon vsentlig utstrckning variationen i den tid den skande behvde fr att lgga fram fallet fr kommissionen.

22. mobilise funds depends mainly on: (a) the administrative rules to be applied; (b) the rapidity of the Commission, including the need for translation; (c) the promptness of the national authoritiesŐ replies; and (d) the quality of the information provided by the applicant. 
Revisionsrttens analys pekar p att den tid som behvs fr att mobilisera medel i huvudsak beror p fljande: a) De administrativa reglerna p omrdet. b) Kommissionens snabbhet, bland annat eventuellt behov av versttning. c) Hur snabbt de nationella myndigheternas svar inkommer. d) Kvaliteten p de uppgifter som den skande lmnar in.
Can the time actually taken be regarded as showing that the Fund provided a rapid response to the applicants? 
Kan den faktiska tidstgngen ses som ett tecken p att fonden snabbt gav std till de skande?
C 153/8 EN Official Journal of the European Union 18.6.2008 (ECHO) Emergency Aid Fund. 
C 153/8 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 18.6.2008 fonder och verksamheter undersktes.
However, despite there being similarities between the two funds, they are not sufficiently similar to provide a benchmark for the rapidity of the Solidarity Fund. 
Trots att det finns likheter mellan de tv fonderna r de dock inte tillrckligt lika fr att det ska g att jmfra fondernas snabbhet.
The Emergency Aid Fund has a specific regulatory and procedural framework which is designed to ensure that it can provide immediate relief (e.g. an assessment phase of less than one week and a fixed budget line). 
Katastrof-fonden har en srskild ram med regler och frfaranden som r utformad fr att se till att den kan ge omedelbar hjlp (till exempel en bedmningsfas p mindre n en vecka och en fast budgetpost).
The Fund does not have an equivalent regulatory framework. 
Solidaritetsfonden har inte ngon sdan ram.
However, when analysing the data, the Court noted that the first four applications were paid within a time span of between 100 and 150 days from the date of the disaster, on average in 131 days. 
Vid revisionsrttens analys av uppgifterna konstaterade revisionsrtten dock att de fyra frsta anskningarna ledde till utbetalning inom en tidsrymd p mellan 100 och 150 dagar frn datumet fr katastrofen, eller i genomsnitt 131 dagar.
The Commission started to deal with the first four applications before the Fund was fully set up. 
Kommissionen brjade behandla de fyra frsta anskningarna innan fonden var fullt inrttad.
The processing time for those four applications provides a standard of comparison against which the processing time for subsequent applications can be judged. 
Handlggningstiden fr dessa fyra anskningar ger ett standardmtt fr jmfrelse mot vilket handlggningstiden fr de fljande anskningarna kan bedmas.
If for an application received in 2003 or later when the Fund was fully set up the processing time, i.e. the time from the date of disaster to the date of obtaining aid from the Fund, exceeds 150 days, it can be considered as long. 
Om handlggningstiden, det vill sga tiden frn datumet fr katastrofen till datumet fr erhllandet av stdet, fr en anskan som tagits emot 2003 eller senare nr fonden var fullt inrttad verskrider 150 dagar kan det anses vara lng tid.
The average processing time for the 19 successful applications after the first four applications was 415 days, hence above the benchmark just defined. 
Den genomsnittliga handlggningstiden fr de 19 godknda anskningarna efter de fyra frsta anskningarna var 415 dagar, vilket r ver det standardmtt som just beskrivits.
Therefore, the Court does not consider the Fund to be rapid in providing aid in the years after 2002. 
Drfr anser inte revisionsrtten att fonden har gett std snabbt under ren efter 2002.
The Fund was much more rapid in dealing with the first four applications than it was in dealing with the subsequent ones. 
Fonden hanterade de fyra frsta anskningarna mycket snabbare n den hanterade de efterfljande.
The four benchmark cases could help to identify how to speed up the process in new cases. 
De fyra jmfrelsefallen kan vara till hjlp med att identifiera hur processen skulle kunna skyndas p fr nya fall.
In these four cases: (a) the assessment lasted on average only nine days because significant documentation was provided to the Commission in the preliminary stages (before the formal application); (b) the budget phase lasted on average only eight days since the Commission sent the proposal to the Parliament on the same day that the decision in principle was taken; and (c) in the grant decision phase, a significant amount of time was saved by the signature of the agreement by both parties on the same day. 
I dessa fyra fall gllde fljande: a) Bedmningen varade i genomsnitt endast i nio dagar eftersom omfattande dokumentation lmnades in till kommissionen p ett frberedande stadium (innan den formella anskan lmnades in). b) Budgetfasen varade i genomsnitt endast i tta dagar eftersom kommissionen skickade frslaget till parlamentet samma dag som principbeslutet fattades. c) Under bidragsbeviljandefasen sparades mycket tid genom att bda parter undertecknade verenskommelsen samma dag.
The Court examined whether the applicants considered that the duration of the process had had an impact on the implementation of remedial mesures. 
Revisionsrtten underskte om de skande ansg att processens lngd hade haft ngon inverkan p genomfrandet av hjlpinsatser.
The survey revealed that most of the applicants considered that the duration of process had not had any effect on the implementation of remedial measures. 
Enkten avsljade att de flesta skande ansg att processens lngd inte hade haft ngon inverkan p genomfrandet av hjlpinsatser.
This opinion is probably due to the fact that the Fund is mainly used for the reimbursement of a small part of the costs caused by the disaster (see Graph 1). 
Denna sikt beror troligen p att fonden frmst anvnds fr terbetalning av en liten del av de kostnader som orsakats av katastrofen (se diagram 1).

18.6.2008 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 153/9 Effektivitet 27.
The Fund is required to be efficient. 
Fonden ska vara effektiv.
The regulation stipulates that Ôadministrative procedures should be adjusted accordingly and confined to an absolute minimumŐ without defining the concept further (1). 
I frordningen faststlls att Óadministrativa frfaranden br anpassas i enlighet med detta och begrnsas till det som r absolut ndvndigtÓ utan att begreppet definieras vidare (1).
The Court reviewed the procedures that the beneficiary states are required to comply with in respect of tendering, contracting, implementing, reporting and auditing the grant. 
Revisionsrtten granskade de frfaranden som mottagarstaterna ska flja nr det gller anbudsinfordran, kontraktering, genomfrande, rapportering och revision av bidraget.
The Court concluded that the requirements for beneficiary states of EUSF are less cumbersome than those receiving other EU funds. 
Revisionsrtten drog slutsatsen att kraven fr lnder som tar emot EUSF-std r mindre hrda n fr dem som tar emot andra EU-medel.
It can therefore be considered that the administrative procedures have been reduced to a level which ensures that the procedures are efficient for beneficiary states. 
De administrativa frfarandena kan drfr anses ha minskat till en niv som garanterar att frfarandena r effektiva fr mottagarstaterna.
The Court reviewed the administrative procedures at the Commission to assess whether they were confined to a minimum. 
Revisionsrtten granskade de administrativa frfarandena vid kommissionen fr att bedma om de hlls till ett minimum.
The Court concluded that within the current framework of the Fund (i.e. a solidarity and not an emergency fund) all the five phases of administrative procedures were necessary and none of them was redundant. 
Revisionsrtten drog slutsatsen att med den nuvarande ramen fr fonden (det vill sga att det r en solidaritetsfond och inte en kata-stroffond) behvdes alla de fem faserna av administrativa frfaranden och ingen av dem var verfldig.
Despite the fact that the Commission does not have an accounting system providing data to calculate the costs of the Fund, the average direct cost of managing the Fund can be estimated to be around 0,06 % (or less than 0,1 %) of the amount granted as shown in Table 7. 
Trots det faktum att kommissionen inte har ett redovisningssystem med uppgifter som gr det mjligt att berkna fondens kostnader kan den genomsnittliga direkta kostnaden fr frvaltningen av fonden uppskattas vara omkring 0,06 % (eller mindre n 0,1 %) av det beviljade beloppet, ssom framgr av tabell 7.
Since the establishment of the Fund in 2002, two people have been permanently allocated to the task of managing the Fund services. 
Sedan fonden inrttades 2002 har tv personer permanent haft hand om uppgiften att frvalta fondens verksamhet.
In an effort to calculate the total cost of managing the Fund by the Commission additional information was requested from both Human Resources and Audit Directorates on other personnel assigned to this task, mission frequency and cost by operational and audit units as well as other administrative, monitoring and control on-the-spot costs. Limited information was available. 
Fr att berkna den totala kostnaden fr kommissionens frvaltning av fonden begrde revisionsrtten in kompletterande information bde frn direktoratet fr personalfrgor och frn direktoratet fr revision om ytterligare personal som hade avsatts fr dessa arbetsuppgifter, om tjnsteresornas frekvens och kostnad per operativ enhet och revisionsenhet liksom andra kostnader fr administration, vervakning och kontroller p plats.
So in order to create a ÔbenchmarkŐ for evaluation purposes, the Court calculated an estimate for all above costs on a yearly basis. 
Fr att skapa ett Órikt-mrkeÓ i utvrderingssyfte gjorde revisionsrtten drfr en uppskattning av alla ovanstende kostnader p rsbasis.
This sums up to an average annual amount of EUR 170 000. 
De uppgr till ett genomsnittligt rligt belopp p 170 000 euro.
In Table 7 it can be seen that the administrative costs are minimal when compared to the amount managed. 
Av tabell 7 framgr att de administrativa kostnaderna r minimala om man jmfr med de belopp som frvaltas.
As an indication, in 2002, a year with only four cases to manage, the administrative costs represented 0,02 % of the aid granted. 
Som en fingervisning kan nmnas att de administrativa kostnaderna r 2002, ett r d det endast fanns fyra fall att hantera, utgjorde 0,02 % av det beviljade stdet.
The CourtŐs findings indicate that the Commission manage the Fund in an efficient way. 
Revisionsrttens granskningsresultat visar att kommissionen frvaltar fonden p ett effektivt stt.

In the context of this analysis flexibility is defined as the ease with which a system can be adjusted for use in applications or environments other than those for which it were specifically designed. 
Inom ramen fr denna analys definieras flexibilitet som hur ltt ett system kan anpassas fr anvndning vid andra tillmpningar eller miljer n de som systemet ursprungligen utformades fr.
The Fund was designed for the major disasters. 
Fonden utformades fr strre katastrofer.
Therefore it can exhibit flexibility in responding to the applications associated with regional disasters. 
Drfr kan den sgas vara flexibel i det att den svarar p anskningar som gller regionala katastrofer.
The Fund should enable the Community to respond flexibly to emergency situations, but exceptional cases must be treated with the utmost rigour (2). 
Fonden br gra det mjligt fr kommissionen att flexibelt vidta tgrder i katastrofsituationer, men exceptionella fall mste behandlas med strsta mjliga terhllsamhet (2).
The flexibility of the Fund must not compromise the principle of equitable treatment. 
Fondens flexibilitet fr inte innebra en risk fr att principen om rttvis behandling sidostts.
How are regional disasters treated by the Fund? 
Hur behandlar fonden regionala katastrofer?
The Court reviewed the treatment of regional and major disasters. 
Revisionsrtten granskade behandlingen av regionala katastrofer och strre katastrofer.
