All tenders for export licences that were below this amount were accepted. 
Alla anbud p exportlicenser som lg under detta belopp accepterades.
Only exceptionally, especially towards the end of the marketing year, was a different approach followed. 
Endast undantagsvis, srskilt mot slutet av regleringsret, anvndes en annan metod.
Sugar-trading companies knew that their tenders would normally be successful if they were below the theoretical refund less 0,2 euro per tonne, so there was little incentive for them to compete for export licences by submitting lower offers. 
Handelsfretagen i sockerbranschen visste att deras anbud vanligtvis skulle accepteras om de lg under det teoretiska exportbidraget minus 0,2 euro per ton. Drmed fanns ingen strre anledning fr dem att konkurrera om exportbidragen genom att lgga lgre bud.
However, the export programme is now constrained by the GATT Agreement on both the quantity and value of sugar exported with refunds, and by pressures on the agricultural budget. 
Exportprogrammet begrnsas emellertid numera av GATT-avtalet, bde nr det gller kvantitet och vrde av det socker som exporteras med bidrag, samt av den strama jordbruksbudgeten.
Until the 1999/2000 marketing year the impact was limited because carry-forwards were allowed under the GATT arrangements. 
Fram till regleringsret 1999/2000 var effekten begrnsad, eftersom verfringar var tilltna enligt GATT-avtalen.
However, for 2000/2001 budgetary expenditure for exports is limited to 499 million euro and the Commission estimates that quota cuts of up to 500 000 tonnes could be required. 
Fr 2000/2001 har emellertid budgetutgifterna fr export begrnsats till 499 miljoner euro och kommissionen bedmer att nedskrningar av kvoterna med upp till 500 000 ton kan bli ndvndiga.
Moreover since the March 1999 Berlin summit there is increased pressure on the Commission to remain within the budgetary allocation and to take a more active role in managing the export programme in order to control the sugar budget. 
Sedan toppmtet i Berlin i mars 1999 har dessutom trycket kat p kommissionen att hlla sig inom den budgetmssiga ramen och spela en mer aktiv roll i frvaltningen av exportprogrammet i syfte att kontrollera sockerbudgeten.
At the same time, world market prices have fallen, increasing the cost of each tonne of sugar exported. 
Samtidigt har vrldsmarknadspriserna fallit och kostnaden fr varje ton exporterat socker har drmed kat.
A weekly meeting is held in the DG for Agriculture at which the tenders are considered in the light of the prospects on the world market, which the Commission officials monitor carefully, and the impact on the available budget. 
Varje vecka hlls ett mte p generaldirektoratet fr jordbruk, dr anbuden granskas med hnsyn till utvecklingen p vrldsmarknaden, som kommissionens tjnstemn noggrant fl-jer, och effekten p den tillgngliga budgeten.
There is no longer any predictable refund below which tenders will be accepted. 
Det finns inte lngre ngot frutsgbart bidrag under vilket alla anbud accepteras.
This has had the effect of increasing competition for export licences with consequent budgetary savings. 
Detta har lett till kad konkurrens om exportbidragen och drmed till budgetbesparingar.
It was only in the face of budgetary constraints that the Commission acted to obtain lower rates for export refunds. 
Det var endast nr kommissionen stlldes infr budgetnedskrningar som den agerade fr att uppn lgre niver fr exportbidrag.
The organisation of the tendering procedures 53. 
Organiseringen av anbudsfrfaranden 53.
Significant savings could be made by accepting fewer offers for export licences when world market prices are low, and increasing the issue of licences when prices are high. 
Betydande besparingar skulle kunna gras om frre anbud p exportbidrag accepterades nr vrldsmarknadspriserna r lga och fler exportbidrag gavs nr priserna r hga.
However, given the uncertainty of the world market this approach presents considerable risks which the Commission has not been willing to undertake. 
Med tanke p den oskra vrldsmarknaden innebr denna metod emellertid betydande risker som kommissionen inte velat ta.
The Commission could consider transferring this risk by holding a limited number of tenders each year rather than one each week. 
Kommissionen skulle kunna vervga att verfra denna risk genom att genomfra ett begrnsat antal anbudsfrfaranden varje r, i stllet fr ett varje vecka.
The Commission should evaluate the possible improvements from alternative arrangements for tendering and deciding on export refunds. 
Kommissionen br utvrdera eventuella frbttringar med alternativa arrangemang fr upphandling och beslut om exportbidrag.
C 50/12 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 15.2.2001 Self-financing arrangements 55. 
C 50/12 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 15.2.2001 Systemet med sjlvfinansiering 55.
Production levies are charged to compensate for the costs of exporting approximately half of the surplus production. 
Produktionsavgifter tas ut fr att kompensera fr den kostnad som uppstr d ungefr hlften av verskottsproduktionen exporteras.
Storage levies are charged in order to recover the payments made to reimburse storage costs. 
Lagringsavgifter tas ut fr att tcka utbetalningar som grs fr att betala lagringskostnader.
This system of levies is often referred to as the Ôself-financingŐ arrangements, which the Court commented on in its 1988 annual report (1) and in its 1991 special report (2). 
Detta avgiftssystem kallas ofta ÓsjlvfinansieringssystemetÓ och kommenterades av revisionsrtten i dess rsrapport fr 1988 (1) och i en srskild rapport 1991 (2).
The quantity of exports to be taken into account in the production levy calculation continues to be based on the difference between quota production and internal consumption (as laid down in the Regulation). 
Den exportkvantitet som skall ing i berkningen av produk-tionsavgiften baseras fortfarande p skillnaden mellan produktionen inom ramen fr kvoterna och den interna konsumtionen (enligt bestmmelserna i frordningen).
The Commission sugar unit derives the consumption figure from data sent in by the Member States on production and trade in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 779/ 96 (3). 
Kommissionens sockeren-het hrleder konsumtionssiffran frn de uppgifter som medlemsstaterna skickat in om produktion och handel, i verensstmmelse med frordning (EG) nr 779/96 (3).
However, no checks are carried out by the Commission to verify the reliability of these data. 
Kommissionen gr emellertid inga kontroller fr att kontrollera uppgifternas tillfrlitlighet.
In comparing data on intra-EU trade from several Member States significant differences were noted. 
Vid en jmfrelse av uppgifter om intern handel inom EU mellan flera medlemsstater noterades betydande skillnader.
A total of 171 000 tonnes of white sugar in 1998/1999 are shown as delivered to other EU Member States but not recorded as received. 
Totalt 171 000 ton vitsocker uppgavs 1998/1999 ha levererats till andra EU-medlemsstater, men mottagandet av denna mngd hade inte registrerats.
The main differences concerned German deliveries (492 000 tonnes in 1998/1999 according to the German data) which were recorded as receipts only of 379 000 tonnes by the other countries. 
De strsta skillnaderna gllde tyska leveranser, som enligt tyska uppgifter uppgick till 492 000 ton 1998/1999, medan andra lnder uppgav att de mottagit endast 379 000 ton.
Similarly, French data shows deliveries of 965 000 tonnes whereas only 901 000 tonnes were recorded as receipts. 
Detsamma gllde franska uppgifter om leveranser p 965 000 ton, medan endast 901 000 ton hade registrerats som mottagna.
Deliveries from all EU countries to Spain amounted to 406 000 tonnes whereas Spain only recorded receipts of 333 000 tonnes. 
Leveranser frn alla EU-lnder till Spanien uppgick till 406 000 ton, men Spanien uppgav sig ha mottagit endast 330 000 ton.
The unreliability of these data could significantly affect the amount of the production levies. 
Uppgifternas bristande tillfrlitlighet kan i hg grad pverka produktionsavgifterna.
Efforts should therefore be made to use more reliable data, for example by using export and import certificates to establish the net exports. 
Anstrngningar borde drfr gras fr att anvnda mer tillfrlitliga uppgifter, t.ex. genom att man anvnder export-och importlicenser fr att faststlla nettoexporten.
Administrative, control and financial arrangements of the CMO 59. 
Systemen fr frvaltning, kontroll och redovisning inom den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden 59.
Member States have clear responsibilities for administration and control of the CMO, but the Commission has overall responsibility to ensure that these arrangements function well. 
Medlemsstaterna har ett tydligt ansvar vad gller frvaltning och kontroll av den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden, men det r kommissionen som har det vergripande ansvaret fr att skerstlla att systemen fungerar p ett tillfredsstllande stt.
Responsibilities within the Commission for monitoring the administrative and control arrangements are divided. 
Inom kommissionen har ansvarsomrdena fr vervakning av systemen fr frvaltning och kontroll delats upp.
However, while both use risk analysis, the methodology followed in assessing the risks differs. 
Bda anvnder sig av riskanalys, men metoderna som anvnds fr att bedma riskerna skiljer sig t.

However in 1999 it did investigate sugar export refunds in some Member States for the first time in many years. 
Emellertid underskte man 1999 vid denna sektion exportbidragen fr socker i vissa medlemsstater, fr frsta gngen p mnga r.
In the Member States that the Court visited it was noted that the Commission had not issued guidance on best practice in the design of control mechanisms. 
I de medlemsstater som revisionsrtten beskte noterades att kommissionen inte hade utfrdat ngra riktlinjer om bsta praxis vid utformandet av kontrollsystemen.
This has led to the development of very different control frequencies and a wide range of control strategies. 
Detta har lett till att det uppsttt bde mycket stora skillnader vad gller kontrollernas frekvens och ett stort spektrum av olika kontrollstrategier.
For example, physical checks on bulk sugar are performed every month on all stocks in one Member State but not at all in another. 
I en medlemsstat gjordes t.ex. fysiska kontroller av bulklaster av socker varje mnad vid alla lager, medan en annan medlemsstat inte gjorde ngra sdana kontroller alls.
The methodologies followed vary from sophisticated checks with laser equipment, to measurement using ropes, to simple reconciliations of stock records at the time of emptying storage facilities. 
De metoder som anvnds varierar frn sofistikerade kontroller med laserutrustning, till mtningar med hjlp av rep och enkla avstmningar av lagerbokfringen d lagren tms.
In most Member States visited it was noted that almost total reliance is placed on sugar production records prepared by the companies but that the information systems that create these records are not audited by the Member StatesŐ inspectors and the records are not reconciled to the companiesŐ financial accounts. 
I de flesta medlemsstater som besktes noterades att man i stort sett totalt litade p de register ver sockerproduktionen som fretagen tog fram. De informationssystem som tar fram dessa register granskas emellertid inte av medlemsstaternas inspektrer och registren stms inte av mot fretagens ekonomiska redovisning.
But all Member States visited emphasised that whatever technique is used to check bulk stocks, none can give accurate results. 
Alla de beskta medlemsstaterna understrk att vilken metod man n anvnder fr att kontrollera bulklager, kan ingen ge helt korrekta resultat.
Reliable stock records are of key importance for the calculation of the production, as well as storage levies. 
Tillfrlitliga lagerregister r av central betydelse fr berkningen av produktionen, samt av lagringsavgifterna.
For this reason the Commission should develop a coherent control strategy and give guidance on good practices and minimum standards. 
Drfr br kommissionen utveckla en konsekvent strategi fr kontroll och ge vgledning om god praxis och minimistandarder.
The CommissionŐs responsiveness to the various stakeholders and to events affecting the CMO 64. 
Kommissionens reaktioner gentemot olika intressenter och vid hndelser som pverkat den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden 64.
Stakeholders generally considered that the Commission services were competent, knowledgeable and approachable. 
Intressenterna ansg i allmnhet att kommissionens avdelningar var kompetenta, kunniga och tillgngliga.
However, industrial users of sugar and the final consumersŐ representatives were of the opinion that insufficient account is taken of their interests. 
De industriella anvndarna av socker och representanterna fr de slutliga konsumenterna ansg emellertid att otillrcklig hnsyn tas till deras intressen.
The first related to the fixing of export refunds on processed products containing sugar, where the Commission put forward proposals for cuts of 10 % to the Non-Annex 1 Management Committee at the last moment, without notice and with no written justification. 
I det frsta fallet gllde det faststllande av exportbidrag fr bearbetade produkter som innehll socker. Kommissionen lade fram frslag p nedskrningar med 10 % fr frvaltningskommittn fr varor som inte r upptagna i bilaga I i sista gonblicket, utan frvarning och utan skriftlig motivering.
These initial proposals were not based on an economic analysis or other valid supporting data and were met by strong protest from exporting companies and Member States. 
Dessa frsta frslag baserades inte p ngon ekonomisk analys eller andra vlgrundade uppgifter och mttes med starka protester frn exportfretagen och medlemsstaterna.
In the end the Commission presented a well-based proposal for a lower level of cut in the export refunds and adaptations of the conditions for allocating the refunds to those processed products most in need, although this was rejected by the Management Committee. 
Till slut lade kommissionen fram ett genomarbetat frslag om en mindre reducering av exportbidragen och anpassningar av villkoren fr bidragens frdelning, som tillgodosg de produkter som var i strst behov av bidrag, trots att frvaltningskommittn avvisat detta frslag.

In the second case the Commission did not consult the Management Committee on the terms of reference for a major evaluation of the CMO for sugar. 
I det andra fallet konsulterade kommissionen inte frvaltningskommittn betrffande specifikationerna fr en strre utvrdering av den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr socker.
REVIEW OF THE SUGAR REGIME Introduction 68. 
GRANSKNING AV SOCKERSYSTEMET Inledning 68.
As indicated under paragraph 8 the Court considers that it is a fundamental management responsibility of the Commission to obtain and disseminate sound information on the outcomes of the policy. 
Som redan ppekats i punkt 8 anser revisionsrtten att det r kommissionens grundlggande frvaltningsansvar att erhlla och sprida korrekt information om politikens resultat.
The Commission launched an evaluation of the policy in the sugar sector in March 1999, the first since the CMO was introduced in 1968. 
Kommissionen inledde en utvrdering av politiken p sockeromrdet i mars 1999, den frsta sedan den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden infrdes 1968.
The terms of reference of the evaluation focus on the relevance of the measures in force, as well as their effectiveness and efficiency. 
Specifikationerna fr utvrderingen fokuseras p om gllande tgrder r relevanta, samt p deras ndamlsenlighet och effektivitet.
72. However, on the basis of the information available it can be concluded that for the general CAP objectives for the CMO as set out in the Treaty: (a) a good revenue, per hectare, for beet growers is ensured (up to twice that from alternative crops); (b) the market is stable (no significant price fluctuations); (c) supply is guaranteed (no shortages even in years of poor har-vests); (d) productivity has improved (increased beet yields, sugar content, extraction rates, mechanisation); this development has not been entirely rational, however, as national quotas have prevented production moving to the most efficient areas; the high prices of sugar beet in relation to other crops have affected the allocation of resources. 
D denna rapport skrevs (juni 2000) hade revisionsrtten inte tillgng till resultaten av denna utvrdering och kan drfr inte bedma utvrderingens kvalitet eller kommentera resultaten. a) En god inkomst per hektar fr sockerbetsodlarna skerstlls (upp till tv gnger den som andra grdor ger). b) Marknaden r stabil (inga betydande prisfluktuationer). c) Tillgngen garanteras (ingen rvarubrist ens under r med dliga skrdar). d) Produktiviteten har frbttrats (kad avkastning frn sockerbetor, sockerhalt, utvinningsprocent, mekanisering).
In regard to the fifth CAP objective, a reasonable price for consumers, only in Japan and Switzerland are sugar prices higher than in the EU. 
Vad gller det femte GJP-mlet Đ ett rimligt konsumentpris Đ r det endast i Japan och Schweiz som sockerprisernar hgre n i EU.
The CommissionŐs reply indicates that high prices exist in many other countries. 
I kommissionens svar anges att hga priser existerar i mnga andra lnder.
However, it does not address the issue of whether the EUŐs prices are reasonable. 
Man tar emellertid inte upp frgan om EU:s priser r rimliga.
In respect of the Treaty objective of contributing to the harmonious development of world trade, the considerable expansion of EU quota production in the 1970s and 1980s (see Chart 2) has had an impact on the world market and the world market price has been influenced by subsidised EU exports and high production of C sugar. 
Betrffande frdragets ml om att bidra till en harmonisk utveckling av vrldshandeln, har vrldsmarknaden pverkats av den betydande kningen av kvotproduktion inom EU under 1970-och 1980-talen (se diagram 2). Vrldsmarknadspriserna har ocks pverkats av EU:s exportbidrag och stora produktion av C-socker.
Equally, preferential prices for cane sugar imports have led to a high degree of dependence in some ACP countries (see paragraphs 42 to 45). 
Likas har frmnspriserna fr import av rrsocker lett till en hg grad av beroende i vissa AVS-lnder (se punkterna 42Đ45).
The specific CMO objectives have largely been achieved: (a)employmentisguaranteedforthe4%ofEUfarmerswho have contracts with a quota-holding processing company; (b) the CMO is self-financing to the extent provided for by the Regulation; (c) there is a steady and even flow of raw sugar to EU refineries. 
De fljande srskilda GJP-mlen har i stort sett uppntts: a) Sysselsttningen garanteras fr de 4 % av EU:s jordbrukare som har kontrakt med ett bearbetningsfretag som innehar en kvot. b) Den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden r sjlvfinansierande i den utstrckning som faststlls i frordningen. c) Fldet av rsocker till EU:s raffinaderier r stabilt och jmt.
There are few serious conflicts between growers and processors, which indicates that both parties are satisfied with the prices they receive. 
F allvarliga konflikter har frekommit mellan odlare och bearbetningsfretag, vilket tyder p att bda parter r tillfredsstllda med de priser de fr.
However, as it is the processor that holds the quotas, beet growers must obtain a contract with the factories in order to be able to benefit from the CMO minimum beet prices. 
Eftersom det r bearbetningsfretagen som innehar kvoterna mste emellertid sockerbetsodlarna skaffa ett kontrakt med fabrikerna fr att kunna dra nytta av minimipriserna p sockerbetor inom den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden.
The above review shows that many of the CAP and CMO objectives are being achieved. 
Ovanstende genomgng visar att mnga av mlen fr GJP och den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden uppns.
However, these achievements must be viewed in the light of the associated costs, which fall largely on the consumer. 
Dessa framgngar mste emellertid betraktas i ljuset av de drmed frbundna kostnaderna, som till stor del fr bras av konsumenterna.
C 50/14 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 15.2.2001 The costs of achieving the objectives 78. 
C 50/14 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 15.2.2001 Kostnaderna fr att uppn mlen 78.
The costs of achieving the CAP and CMOŐs objectives can be seen in several negative outcomes: (a) a structural surplus in the production of sugar; (b) a high level of internal prices in relation to world market prices; (c) a high level of stocks; (d) a highly regulated framework which does not encourage competition; (e) the need for costly administration and controls. 
Kostnaderna fr att uppn mlen fr GJP och den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden kan ses som de negativa fljder dessa framgngar medfrt: a) Ett strukturellt produktionsverskott av socker. b) Hga interna priser jmfrt med vrldsmarknadspriserna. c) Stora lager. d) Ett strikt regelverk som inte frmjar konkurrens. e) Behov av dyr administration och kontroller.
79. Whilst the audit did not identify reliable independent assessments of all of these costs, it is possible to establish basic indicators that give a reasonable view of their magnitude. 
79. ven om det vid granskningen inte gjordes tillfrlitliga och oberoende uppskattningar av alla dessa kostnader, s kan man faststlla grundlggande indikatorer som ger en rimlig bild av kostnadernas omfattning.
The net annual cost of the structural surplus to the EU budget is 800 million euro in the 2000 budget, being the total cost of exporting surplus sugar (approximately 1 600 million euro) less the levies on production. 
Det strukturella verskottet belastar EU:s budget med en rlig nettokostnad p 800 miljoner euro i budgeten fr 2000, vilket r den totala kostnaden fr att exportera verskottet av socker (cirka 1 600 miljoner euro) minus produktionsavgifterna.
But there is an additional cost to consumers. 
Men konsumenterna fr bra ytterligare kostnader.
Given the low elasticity of demand for sugar, the processing companies are able to pass on these levies in the price of sugar and so the 800 million euro cost of this part of the surplus is ultimately borne by the EUŐs consumers. 
Eftersom efterfrgan p socker har lg priselasticitet, kan bearbetningsfretagen lgga p dessa avgifter i priset p socker och p s stt fr EU:s konsumenter till sist bra kostnaden p 800 miljoner euro fr denna del av verskottet.
The economic cost of the high level of EU prices can only be established through detailed studies. 
Den ekonomiska kostnaden av de hga EU-priserna kan endast faststllas genom detaljerade studier.
Several are available but their independence has been questioned. 
Flera sdana finns tillgngliga, men deras oberoende har ifrgasatts.
The simplest measure of the cost is the difference between the EU support price and the world market price, which would indicate a maximum annual cost to the EU consumer of around 6 500 million euro (1). 
Det enklaste sttet att mta kostnaden r att faststlla skillnaden mellan EU:s stdpris och vrldsmarknadspriset, vilket pekar p en rlig maximikostnad fr EU:s konsumenter p cirka 6 500 miljoner euro (1).
However, the current low world market price cannot be considered a fully objective indicator. 
De nuvarande lga vrldsmarknadspriserna kan emellertid inte anses vara en helt objektiv indikator.
