Bringing together each month more than 20 persons, including one Commissioner, appears, in the light of the Mostar experience, to be a very serious constraint. 
Att varje mnad sammankalla ver tjugo personer, dribland en kommissionsle-damot, verkar dessutom mot bakgrund av erfarenheten frn Mostar utgra ett mycket allvarligt hinder i arbetet.
Experience during 2000 confirmed the CourtŐs concerns: (a) thestructureoftheAgencyŐsGoverningBoardisratherheavy: up to 23 representatives of the Member States attend the monthly meetings in Thessaloniki. 
Erfarenheterna under 2000 bekrftade revisionsrttens far-hgor: a) Byrns styrelse r till sin struktur relativt tungrodd; s mnga som 23 fretrdare fr medlemsstaterna kan delta i de mnatliga mtena i Thessaloniki.
The members of the Governing Board spent a large part of the first six meetings discussing the language arrangements, which have to be decided unanimously; (b) the Commission insisted on a Member of the Commission being chairman of the Governing Board, but the Member appointed did not attend any of the meetings in 2000; (c) organising the monthly meetings represents an extra workload and distraction for the Agency. 
Styrelseledamterna anvnde en stor del av de frsta sex mtena till att diskutera de sprkliga arrangemangen som mste beslutas enhlligt. b) Kommissionen insisterade p att en kommissionsledamot skulle vara ordfrande i styrelsen men den utsedda ledamoten var inte nrvarande vid ngot av mtena under r 2000. c) Att organisera de mnatliga mtena innebr en kad arbetsbrda fr byrn och r en distraherande faktor.
The new Agency Regulation (1), adopted in the wake of the adoption of the CARDS Regulation(2) replacing the former Obnova Regulation, partly meets this concern by stating that the Governing Board should be convened by the Chairman whenever necessary, and at least once every three months, but not necessarily every month. 
Byrns nya frordning (1), som antogs efter det att Cardsfrordningen (2) antagits, erstter den tidigare Obnova-frordningen, avhjlper delvis detta problem genom att ange att styrelsen skall sammankallas av ordfranden nr s r ndvndigt, och minst en gng var tredje mnad, men inte ndvndigtvis varje mnad.
Some members of the Governing Board wanted to decide on financing proposals for the reconstruction of Kosovo made by the Commission, whereas this is the responsibility of the Management Committee (see Annex 3). 
Ngra styrelsemedlemmar ville besluta om kommissionens finansieringsfrslag fr teruppbyggnaden av Kosovo, men detta r frvaltningskommittns ansvar (se bilaga 3).
For example, for one financing proposal the representative of one Member State gave a positive opinion at the Governing Board but the representative of the same Member State in the Management Committee voted against. 
Till exempel yttrade sig en medlemsstats fretrdare positivt om ett finansieringsfrslag i styrelsen, medan fretrdaren fr samma medlemsstat rstade emot i frvaltningskommittn.
Organisation of the Agency 25. 
Byrns organisation 25.
The AgencyŐs general services are located in Thessaloniki but the Agency may establish operational centres with a considerable degree of management autonomy (Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2667/2000). 
Byrns allmnna enheter ligger i Thessaloniki men byrn kan inrtta operativa centrum som skall tnjuta en betydande grad av sjlvstndighet nr det gller frvaltningen (artikel 3 i rdets frordning (EG) nr 2667/2000).
In 2000 the Governing Board authorised the Agency to recruit 51 temporary expatriate staff and 54 local staff. 
Under 2000 gav styrelsen byrn tillstnd att rekrytera 51 utlndska tillflligt anstllda och 54 lokalanstllda.
The Agency recruited 48 temporary staff (39 in Pristina and 9 in Thessaloniki) and 50 local staff (40 in Pristina, 8 in Thessaloniki and 2 in Skopje).

In accordance with the Staff Regulations, all Agency staff based outside the Community receive an allowance for exceptional living conditions, a risk premium amounting to 40 % of their salaries, the payment of their accommodation costs up to a maximum of 1 278 euro a month, and some extra leave (around 20 days per year). 
I enlighet med tjnstefreskrifterna fr personalen vid byrerna i tredje land en ersttning fr exceptionella levnadsvillkor och en riskpremie motsvarande 40 % av lnen, liksom ersttning fr boendekostnader upp till ett belopp av 1 278 euro per mnad samt extra semesterdagar (cirka 20 dagar per r).
The budgetary authority decided that the AgencyŐs operating expenditure would be funded under budget Article B7-5 4 6 ÔAid for the reconstruction of KosovoŐ for an amount equivalent to not more than 8 % of its total budget. 
Budgetmyndigheten beslutade att byrns administrativa utgifter skulle finansieras under budgetrubrik B7Đ5 4 6 ÓStd till teruppbyggnaden av KosovoÓ till ett belopp inte verstigande 8 % av dess totala budget.
In 2000 the AgencyŐs running costs (staff, premises and equipment) amounted to 8,6 million euro. 
Under 2000 uppgick byrns administrativa utgifter (personal, lokaler och utrustning) till 8,6 miljoner euro.
This represents 3,1 % of the AgencyŐs budget, excluding the funds made available at the end of 2000 for 2001 (1). 
Detta motsvarar 3,1 % av byrns budget, exklusive de medel som avsattes i slutet av 2000 fr 2001 (1).
In 2000 the Agency had 2,5 employees for every 10 million euro managed (not including back-up staff at Commission headquarters), compared with an average of 2,9 officials at the Commission for the management of all external assistance and between four and nine officials in Member StatesŐ bilateral aid agencies (2). 
Under 2000 hade byrn 2,5 anstllda fr varje frvaltade 10 miljoner euro (stdpersonal vid kommissionens hgkvarter ej inrknad), att jmfras med ett medeltal av 2,9 anstllda vid kommissionen fr frvaltning av allt yttre bistnd och mellan 4 och 9 tjnstemn vid medlemsstaternas bilaterala bistndsorgan (2).
However, the corresponding units in AIDCO manage more complex programmes covering many sectors, whereas the AgencyŐs work in 2000 consisted mainly of large contracts focused on a limited number of sectors. 
Motsvarande enheter vid Byrn fr utvecklingssamarbete (EuropeAid) frvaltar mer komplexa program som omfattar mnga sektorer medan arbetet vid byrn fr teruppbyggnad under 2000 till strsta delen bestod av stora kontrakt med fokus p ett begrnsat antal sektorer.
Human resources management 29. 
Frvaltning av personalresurser 29.
The good performance of the Agency in 2000 in implementing the reconstruction programme is largely due to the individual commitment of dedicated staff. 
Att byrn lyckats s vl under 2000 med genomfrandet av teruppbyggnadsprogrammet beror i hg grad p det enskilda engagemanget hos den mlmedvetna personalen.
The team members were recruited on the basis of the qualifications needed for rapid and professional implementation of the reconstruction programme. 
Medlemmarna i gruppen rekryterades med tanke p de kvalifikationer som krvs fr att snabbt och professionellt genomfra ett teruppbyggnadsprogram.
They have been working intensively in sometimes rather difficult circumstances. 
De har arbetat intensivt och ibland under ganska svra omstndigheter.
The challenge for the Agency now is to sustain a level of dedication among its staff appropriate to a future situation that is likely to be less urgent and less demanding. 
Utmaningen fr byrn ligger nu i att upprtthlla personalens engagemang p en niv som passar fr ett framtida sammanhang som lr vara mindre angelget och krvande.
In view of the rapid growth of the Agency and the recent creation of new operational centres, a new distribution of the staff between its headquarters in Thessaloniki and its operational centres is likely to be required. 
Med tanke p byrns snabba utveckling och att det nyligen inrttats nya operativa centrum kommer det troligen att krvas en omfrdelning av personalen mellan huvudkontoret i Thessaloniki och de operativa centrumen.
Management of the operational budget 31. 
Frvaltning av driftbudgeten 31.
At the end of 2000 the Agency had committed 96,4 % of the funds allocated to it for Kosovo reconstruction. 
Vid slutet av 2000 hade byrn gjort taganden fr 96,4 % av de anslag den ftt fr teruppbyggnaden av Kosovo.
In February 2000, when the Agency took over from the task force, 49 % of the Obnova funds committed in 1998 and 1999 were contracted, of which 23 % were paid. 
I februari 2000 nr byrn tog ver frn arbetsgruppen, hade man ingtt avtal fr 49 % av de Obnova-medel fr vilka taganden gjorts 1998 och 1999, och av dessa var 23 % utbetalade.
By the end of 2000, 88 % of the funds committed in 1998 were paid, and 88 % of the funds committed in 1999 were contracted, of which 75 % were paid. 
I slutet av 2000 var 88 % av de medel fr vilka taganden gjorts under 1998 utbe-talade, och fr 88 % av medlen fr 1999 hade taganden gjorts och av dessa hade 75 % betalats ut.
At the same date 79 % of the funds committed in 2000 were contracted, of which 55 % were paid (see Table 5). 
Vid samma tidpunkt hade avtal ingtts fr 79 % av de medel fr vilka taganden gjorts under 2000, och av dessa hade 55 % betalats ut (se tabell 5).
According to Article4(14) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2667/2000 the Governing Board presented a draft annual report to the Commission by 31 March 2001 on the AgencyŐs activities in 2000 and how they were financed. 
I enlighet med artikel 4.14 i rdets frordning (EG) nr 2667/ 2000 lade styrelsen fr kommissionen fre den 31 mars 2001 fram ett utkast till rsrapport om byrns verksamhet och hur denna finansierats under 2000.

At the end of the year 92 % of the 2000 funds committed between February and November1 2000 were contracted. The recourse to the suspensive clause ( ) allowed the Agency to sign contracts for a global value of 50 million euro within a week of the Commission decision to approve financing proposals for a total of 130 million euro in May 2000. 
Vid rets slut hade avtal ingtts fr 92 % av de medel fr vilkatagandengjortsmellanfebruariochnovember2000.Med anvndning av frbehll (1) kunde byrn ing avtal fr ett sammanlagt vrde av 50 miljoner euro inom en vecka efter kommissionens beslut i maj 2000 att godknna finansieringsfrslag p sammanlagt 130 miljoner euro.
The average period needed for contracting operational funds after a Commission decision was 153 days for both 1999 and 2000 programmes and 71 days for the 2000 programme. 
Den tidsrymd som i medeltal behvdes fr att ing avtal om driftsanslag efter ett kommissionsbeslut var 153 dagar fr 1999 och 2000 rs program tillsammans och 71 dagar fr 2000 rs program.
This performance compares favourably with the time needed by the Delegation in Sarajevo to contract the Obnova programmes (see Table 6). 
Detta r ett frdelaktigt resul-tatjmfrtmeddentidsomdelegationeniSarajevobehvdefr att ing avtal inom Obnova-programmen (se tabell 6).
However, the Delegation in Bosnia, unlike the Agency in Kosovo, often needs time to reach an agreement with the three local communities involved before launching a tender or signing a contract. 
Till skillnad frn byrn i Kosovo behver delegationen i Bosnien emellertid ofta tid att n en verenskommelse mellan de tre lokala befolkningsgrupper som berrs innan ett anbudsfrfarande kan inledas eller ett avtal undertecknas.
It was essential to restart one of the units of a power plant by the end of November 2000. 
Energisektorn Det var absolut ndvndigt att omstarta en del av ett kraftverk till slutet av november 2000.
In February 2000 UNMIK requested the Agency to award a contract by direct agreement to the company that had already carried out some emergency repairs under a previous contract. 
I februari 2000 ombads byrn av UNMIK att genom privat verenskommelse ing avtal med det fretag som redan hade utfrt en del akuta reparationer enligt ett tidigare avtal.
The Agency preferred to launch a restricted accelerated tender procedure. Although better than a direct agreement, this tender procedure for a works contract of 40 million euro did not comply with the basic Obnova Regulation (2) which allows, under certain conditions only (fulfilled in this case), a restricted invitation to tender for works contracts not exceeding 10 million euro. 
Byrn fredrog att inleda ett pskyndat selektivt anbudsfrfarande. ven om det r bttre n en privat verenskommelse, fljer inte detta anbudsfrfarande fr kontrakt p arbeten fr 40 miljoner euro den grundlggande Obnova-frordningen (2), vilken under vissa omstndigheter (som var uppfyllda i det hr fallet) tillter ett selektivt anbudsfrfarande fr kontrakt p arbeten som inte verskrider 10 miljoner euro.
The short period between the sending of the tender dossier and the deadline for submission (five weeks) provided a competitive advantage to the company which had already worked in the plant. 
Den korta tidsrymden mellan det att anbudshandlingarna skickades ut och slutdatum fr inlmning (fem veckor) innebar att det fretag som redan hade utfrt arbete p anlggningen fick en konkurrensfrdel.
Only two companies (with a price offer of 34,5 and 37,6 million euro) could respond with bids in time. 
Bara tv fretag (med offerter p 34,5 och 37,6 miljoner euro) kunde lmna in anbud i tid.
However, neither of the two offers was considered technically acceptable and the tender was cancelled at the end of May 2000. 
Inget av de tv anbuden kunde emellertid godknnas p tekniska grunder och anbudsfrfarandet avbrts i slutet av maj 2000.
In agreement with DG Relex, the Agency subsequently negotiated a direct contract with a consortium consisting of the two companies concerned. 
Byrn kom drefter verens med GD Yttre frbindelser om att frhandla fram en privat verenskommelse med ett konsortium bestende av de tv inblandade fretagen.
It contracted the consortium for 40 million euro on the condition that the unit would be recommissioned at the end of November 2000 at the latest, in order to be fully operational during the peak load of winter 2000/2001. 
Byrn ingick avtal med konsortiet p 40 miljoner euro p villkor att enheten ter var i drift senast i slutet av november fr att vara fullt operativ under toppbelastningen vintern 2000/2001.
This ambitious objective was finally achieved. 
Detta ambitisa ml uppnddes slutligen.
Housing sector For the procurement of construction materials, 46 offers were accepted for opening. 
Bostadssektorn Fr upphandling av byggmaterial godkndes inledningsvis 46 anbud.
The outcome of the formal evaluation of the tenders showed that local tenderers with the better priced bids had immense difficulties in submitting some tender documents correctly, namely the certificate of nationality, certification concerning bankruptcy, the certificate of origin or a bank guarantee. 
Resultatet av den formella bedmningen av anbuden visade att lokala anbudsgivare, vars anbud hade bttre priser, hade stora svrigheter att visa upp en del av anbudsdokumenten p ett korrekt stt, nmligen intyg om nationalitet, intyg betrffande konkurs, ursprungsintyg eller en bankgaranti.
The strict application of the agreed formal selection criteria would have resulted in only seven tenders passing the formal evaluation. 
En strikt tillmpning av de verenskomna formella urvalskriterierna skulle ha resulterat i att endast sju anbud hade godknts i den formella bedmningen.
In this case, however, the total contract amount for the 14 lots would have amounted to about DEM 110 million whereas DEM 85 million had been budgeted for supplies. 
I det hr fallet skulle emellertid det totala kontraktet fr de 14 delarna ha uppgtt till ungefr 110 miljoner tyska mark medan budgeten fr material var 85 miljoner tyska mark.
Under normal circumstances the open tendering procedure should have been cancelled, because all formally acceptable bids exceeded the available budget. 
Under normala omstndigheter skulle det ppna anbudsfrfarandet avbrutits eftersom alla formellt godknda anbud verskred den tillgngliga budgeten.
In order to secure the execution of the project, the Agency decided, instead of requiring a bank guarantee, to insert a contract provision allowing it to deduct a 10 % cumulative retention of all payments as security. 
Fr att kunna skerstlla att projektet genomfrdes beslutade byrn att i stllet fr att f en bankgaranti, skriva in en bestmmelse i avtalet fr att som skerhet kunna hlla inne ackumulerade belopp p 10 % av alla utbetalningar.
As of the end of 2000 the Agency had not experienced serious problems with the performance of the contracted suppliers. 
Vid slutet av 2000 hade inte byrn haft ngra allvarligare problem med hur de kontrakterade leverantrerna arbetat.

Programme implementation General objectives set for 2000 36. 
Programmens genomfrande Allmnna ml fr 2000 36.
The 2000 work programme for the reconstruction of Kosovo approved by the Commission and the Governing Board concentrated the bulk of the resources available in 2000 on five areas: energy, housing, transport, environment and economic development/agriculture. 
Enligt det arbetsprogram fr 2000 fr teruppbyggnaden av Kosovo som kommissionen och styrelsen godknt koncentrerades strre delen av de resurser som fanns tillgngliga fr 2000 till fljande fem omrden: energi, bostder, transporter, milj och ekonomisk utveckling/jordbruk.
The Commission and UNMIK considered these sectors to be essential building blocks for the wider reconstruction effort. 
Kommissionen och UNMIK ansg att dessa sektorer var mycket viktiga grundstenar fr de mer allmnna teruppbyggnadsinsaterna.
Considering that progress in energy, housing, transport and agriculture was season-sensitive, the Agency wanted to launch the projects in these areas quickly and accordingly set very ambitious objectives, to be reached before the winter 2000-2001. 
Mot bakgrund av att framstegen inom energi, bostadsbyggande, transporter och jordbruk pverkades av ssongsvariationer ville byrn snabbt starta projekten inom dessa omrden, och stllde drfr upp vldigt ambitisa ml som skulle uppns fre vintern 2000/2001.
The Court examined whether these objectives were being achieved at the end of 2000. 
Revisionsrtten har underskt om dessa ml hade uppntts i slutet av 2000.
Energy Objectives 37. 
Energi Ml 37.
The 2000 energy programme amounted to 60 million euro. 
Energiprogrammet fr 2000 uppgick till 60 miljoner euro.
Its general objective was to allow the energy sector to move away from the quasi-emergency holding and stabilisation phases towards making energy generation more stable and productive as a first step to assuring the self-sustainability of the sector. 
Dess allmnna ml var att mjliggra fr energisektorn att lmna de halvakuta faserna av upprtthllande och stabilisering, och i stllet gra energiproduktionen mer stabil och produktiv som ett frsta steg mot att skerstlla sjlvfrsrjning inom denna sektor.
In parallel with this programme, the Agency allocated 28 million euro to UNMIK for energy imports under the 2000 reconstruction programme. 
Parallellt med detta program tilldelade byrn UNMIK 28 miljoner euro fr energiimport inom 2000 rs teruppbyggnadsprogram.
