C 276/20 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 29.9.1999 INTRODUCTION General 3. 
C 276/20 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 29.9.1999 INLEDNING Allmnt 3.
At a more general level, the fifteen Member States of the European Union are fully involved in the programming of OCT funds and the project decisions through the EDF committee, which examines each financing proposal and gives its opinion. 
P ett mer allmnt plan deltar EU:s femton medlemsstater helt och fullt i programplaneringen av medlen till ULT och i projekt-besluten genom EUF-kommittn, som undersker varje finansieringsfrslag och avger ett yttrande.
ALLOCATION OF FUNDS Context of aid to OCTs 6, 7, 8. 
F RDELNING AV MEDEL Situationen fr bistnd till ULT 6, 7, 8.
The status of the OCTs as regards cooperation and other fields covered by their association with the EU is not comparable to that of the ACP countries. 
ULT:s stllning r, vad gller samarbetet och de vriga omrden som ingr i associeringen med EU, inte jmfrbar med AVS-lndernas.
This difference in status is reflected in the successive Association decisions adopted by the Council. 
Denna skillnad terspeglas i de olika associerings-besluten som faststlls av rdet.
The amounts to be allocated to the indicative programmes are decided in a more general framework than on the basis of the GNP criterion alone. 
De belopp som ansls till de vgledande programmen faststlls utifrn mer allmnna kriterier n bara BNI.
According to the Council decision, they must serve these territoriesŐ economic, cultural and social development. 
Enligt rdets beslut r syftet att frmja dessa territoriers ekonomiska, kulturella och sociala utveckling.
The programming of aid Allocation to groups of OCTs 13. 
Programplanering av bistnd Frdelning mellan grupper av ULT 13.
The discrepancy noted by the Court between the CouncilŐs decisions on the EDF and the CommissionŐs proposals is due to the special procedure followed for allocating funds to the OCTs. 
Den skillnad, som revisionsrtten ppekar, mellan rdets beslut inom ramen fr EUF och kommissionens frslag uppstr genom det srskilda frfarande som anvnds vid frdelningen av medel till ULT.
After making a distinction between programmable and non-programmable funds, the Commission proposes a breakdown by group of OCTs on the basis of various parameters agreed with the three Member States concerned. 
Efter det att programmerbara och icke-programmerbara medel sr-skiljts freslr kommissionen en frdelning per ULT-grupp utifrn olika parametrar enligt en verenskommelse med de tre berrda medlemsstaterna.
The three Member States may adjust these proposals for each group of OCTs. 
De tre medlemsstaterna fr justera dessa frslag per ULT-grupp.
The final decision is taken by the Council. 
Rdet fattar det slutliga beslutet.
Finally each of the Member States concerned distributes the previously negotiated amount between its OCTs in accordance with its own criteria and priorities. 
Drefter frdelar varje berrd medlemsstat det framfrhandlade beloppet mellan de enskilda ULT utifrn sina egna kriterier och prioriteringar.
The CommissionŐs decision to transfer ECU 3,415 million of unused funds under the sixth EDF to the OCTs has been reflected in the accounts. 
Kommissionens beslut om att verfra 3,415 miljoner ecu i outnyttjade medel frn den sjtte EUF till ULT terspeglas i rkenskaperna.
Reference is made to these amounts in the IPs setting up the programming of the seventh EDF. 
Hnvisningar till dessa belopp grs i de vgledande programmen fr programplaneringen av den sjunde EUF.
The amounts have, however, never been transferred from the sixth to the seventh EDF in the accounts, since there has been no Council decision to do so. 
Beloppen har emellertid aldrig verfrts frn den sjtte till den sjunde EUF i rkenskaperna eftersom rdet inte har fattat ngot beslut i frgan.
Council Decision 86/285/EEC adopted in June 1986 reallocated the unexpended balance of the fifth EDF/Stabex to the fifth EDF. 
I rdets beslut 86/285/EEG som antogs i juni 1986 faststlldes en omfrdelning av resterande medel frn den femte EUF/Stabex till den femte EUF.
ECU 1,1 million was allocated to the Dutch OCTs. 
1,1 miljoner ecu har anslagits till de nederlndska ULT.
These extra funds were added to the indicative programme of the sixth EDF for the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. 
Detta tillggsbelopp lades till det vgledande programmet under den sjtte EUF fr Nederlndska Antillerna och Aruba.
The decision to increase the allocation for Saint-Pierre and Miquelon was taken in order to help this territory to overcome the serious economic problem resulting from the fishing areas dispute with Canada. 
Beslutet om att ka anslagen till Saint-Pierre och Miquelon fattades fr att hjlpa den lokala myndigheten att vervinna de allvarliga ekonomiska problemen till fljd av konflikten om fis-keriomrden med Kanada.
After the local economy collapsed, the Commission, at the request of France, did all it could to mobilise the unused balances from previous EDFs. 
Efter den lokala ekonomins sammanbrott gjorde kommissionen, p Frankrikes begran, en stor insats fr att uppbda outnyttjade medel frn tidigare EUF.
The urgency and gravity of the situation called for special procedures which would bring effective and rapid relief to a devastated economy. 
Den brdskande och allvarliga situationen har krvt srskilda frfaranden fr ett snabbt och effektivt bistnd till denna krisdrabbade ekonomi.
The Commission proposes to the three Member States that the overall allocation be divided into three in line with various objective criteria. 
Kommissionen freslr de tre berrda medlemsstaterna att de samlade anslagen frdelas i tre delar i frhllande till olika objektiva kriterier.
The three Member States negotiate amongst themselves and the Council takes the final decision; each Member State then distributes its funds in line with its specific criteria. 
De tre medlemsstaterna frhandlar inbrdes och rdet fattar det slutliga beslutet. Varje medlemsstat frdelar drefter medlen i frhllande till sina egna kriterier.
The Member States inform the Commission of their decision on the breakdown of funds between the OCTs, but do not have to give reasons. 
De berrda medlemsstaterna underrttar kommissionen om frdelningen mellan enskilda ULT utan att behva motivera sitt beslut.
The Commission has no control over this process. 
Kommissionen har ingen kontroll ver detta frfarande.
Up to now, the partnership has above all provided a forum for debating common problems of general interest. 
Hittills har partnerskapet framfrallt anvnts fr att diskutera problem av gemensamt intresse.
Unlike the Court, the Commission is of the opinion that the accounting arrangements for these operations is transparent as regards the use of the funds. 
I motsats till revisionsrtten anser kommissionen att verksamhetens rkenskaper ger insyn i hur medlen har anvnts.
It does not consider that there is a need for any reconciliation between the EDF accounts and the indicative programmes since the indicative programme is not an account but a document describing in general terms the way it is proposed to use the EDF. 
Den anser det inte ndvndigt att gra en avstmning mellan EUF:s rkenskaper och de vgledande programmen. Det vgledande programmet r inte ngra rkenskaper utan ett dokument som ger en allmn beskrivning av frslagen om hur medlen frn EUF skall anvndas.
The transcription error of ECU 0,2 million noted by the Court (Turks and Caicos) did not have any financial repercussions for the European Union. 
Det tryckfel p 0,2 miljoner ecu som revisionsrtten funnit (Turks & Caicos) har inte medfrt ngra ekonomiska fljder fr unionen.
The rules of implementation set out in the Association decisions (Part Two, Title III, Chapter IV (sixth EDF) and Part Three, Title III, Chapter V (seventh EDF)) must be observed. 
De genomfrandebestmmelser som faststlls i associationsbesluten (andra delen, avdelning III, kapitel IV fr den sjtte EUF och tredje delen, avdelning III, kapitel V fr den sjunde EUF) skall fljas.
The Commission is obliged to comply.

Differences between the OCTs as well as between groups of OCTs must be taken into account. 
Hnsyn br tas till skillnaderna mellan enskilda ULT men ocks mellan de olika ULT-grupperna.
The Commission would provide the following explanations for the five cases noted by the Court in which procedures were slow: (a) the Commission treats the programming exercise strictly and seriously; this explains the length of negotiations with the OCTs; (b) the Commission has often deplored this lack of an overall strategic vision; however, these are local constraints which have to be taken into account; (c) becauseoftherequirementslaiddownintheassociationdeci-sion for preparation and documentation, the recipients often find it difficult to reply, leading to delays; the Commission recognises that the procedures are long and complex and is endeavouring to simplify them; (d) because of the low level of EDF funds available, some projects do indeed have to be cofinanced (with a contribution from the recipient or the Member State concerned); this explains the large number of intermediaries; (e) delaysmayarisebecauseoftheactualstructureofthedelega-tions or offices in charge. 
Kommissionen nskar lmna fljande klargranden fr de fem renden dr revisionsrtten anmrkt p lngsamma frfaranden: a) Kommissionen genomfr programplaneringen p ett korrekt och serist stt, vilket frklarar varfr frhandlingarna med ULT varit s lngvariga. b) Kommissionen har ofta beklagat bristen p en strategisk helhetssyn. Detta r emellertid lokala begrnsningar som den mste ta med i berkningen. c) De krav p frberedelser och dokumentation som faststlls i associeringsbeslutet medfr ofta svrigheter fr partnern att svara, vilket i sin tur medfr frseningar.
However, the Commission often faces limitations as regards human resources, the administrative budgets of the delegations or offices and the mission budgets. 
Kommissionen har ofta lagts begrnsningar vad gller personalresurserna, delegationernas och kontorens driftsbudget och anslag fr tjnsteresor.
The current structure of the delegations and offices in the Caribbean, which are still subject to restrictions, is a good example in this respect. 
Delegationernas och kontorens nuvarande struktur i Vstindien, dr de nnu en gng lagts begrnsningar, r ett bra exempel p detta.
Despite that, every step is taken to ensure that potential beneficiaries can make full use of the aid schemes proposed. 
Trots detta grs allt fr att de potentiella mottagarna skall kunna utnyttja de freslagna stdordningarna fullt ut.
The Commission makes a point of generating synergy between territorial and regional programmes even though these programmes are negotiated separately. 
Kommission frsker skapa en samverkan mellan de territoriella och de regionala programmen, trots att programmen framfrhandlas separat.
The programming of the territorial funds is a priority for the OCTs. 
Programplaneringen av de territoriella medlen prioriteras av ULT.
The regional funds are considered afterwards. 
Drefter prioriteras de regionala medlen.
Regional cooperation is extremely difficult to introduce. 
Rent allmnt r det regionala samarbetet ett uttryck fr deltagarnas samarbetsvilja.
Apart from the fact that being an island does not promote a culture of cooperation, there are other explanations such as the geographical isolation of the recipients, differences of language and culture and sometimes a certain reluctance outside or even within these territories. 
Frutom att karaktren inte frmjar ett naturligt samarbete finns det ocks andra orsaker som mottagarnas geografiska avlgsenhet, skillnader i sprk och kultur och ibland en viss tveksamhet infr samarbete utt, men ven inom dessa territorier.
Despite these difficulties, the Commission endeavours to establish a dialogue and promote cooperation between OCTs, overseas departments and the ACP; projects are only one means to this end. 
Trots dessa svrigheter strvar kommissionen efter att inleda en dialog och frmja samarbetet mellan ULT, DOM och AVS. Fr detta ndaml r projekten endast ett medel bland andra.
The Commission would point out the following: (a) Regional cooperation is extremely difficult to introduce for the reasons set out at 28. (b) Generally speaking, differences in status and in the development objectives of OCTs in the same region, regardless of whether they belong to the same group, do not facilitate regional cooperation. 
Kommissionen nskar ppeka fljande: a) Det r oerhrt svrt att inrtta ett samarbete av de orsaker som tas upp i punkt 28. b) Rent allmnt underlttas inrttandet av ett regionalt samarbete inte av skillnaderna i stllning och utvecklingsml mellan de ULT som finns inom samma region, oavsett om de tillhr samma grupp eller inte.
In the Pacific in particular, the considerable physical distance between the two French territories means that the sense of belonging to the same regional entity is very relative. 
Srskilt i Stillahavsomrdet innebr de stora fysiska avstnden mellan de tv franska territorierna att knslan av att tillhra samma regionala enhet r mycket relativ.
The political sense of belonging to a regional grouping may extend beyond the Community framework to regional organisations such as the Pacific Forum or the South Pacific Community. (c) The Commission does all it can to develop regional cooperation between the ACP and the OCTs. 
Den politiska knslan av regional tillhrighet kan istllet verskrida EU:s ramar och glla regionala organisationer som Sdra Stillahavsomrdets forum eller Sdra Stillahavsomrdets gemenskap. c) Kommissionen agerar aktivt fr att utveckla det regionala samarbetet mellan AVS och ULT.
However, it takes time to break down reluctance in the OCTs themselves, misunderstandings and cultural and language barriers. 
Det tar emellertid tid att vervinna den tveksamhet som finns inom sjlva ULT, bristande frstelse samt kulturella och sprkliga hinder.
The OCTs are not sovereign states, while the ACP States are. 
ULT bestr inte av sjlvstndiga stater, medan AVS rknas som tredje land.
In the case of the OCTs, only the Member State to which they are linked is authorised to handle cooperation of this type. (d) To develop a strategy, the Commission and the OCTs must share an overall vision; the Commission can hardly impose its own. 
Fr ULT r det endast den medlemsstat som den har anknytning till som har befogenhet att frhandla i ett sdant samarbete. d) Fr att utveckla en strategi mste kommissionen och ULT ha en gemensam helhetssyn. Kommissionen kan inte ptvinga dem sin uppfattning.
The only unifying factor seems to be the promotion of regional tourism. 
Det enda omrdet fr samverkan verkar vara frmjandet av turismen p ett regionalt plan.
The Commission is of the opinion that regional cooperation has advanced; however, this is a vast project which must be gauged over the long term in relation to the initial situation. 
Kommissionen anser att framsteg har gjorts i det regionala samarbetet, men att det handlar om ett vittomfattande projekt som skall bedmas p lng sikt med hnsyn tagen till situationen i utgngslget.
The method of accounting for regional funds under the sixth and seventh EDF for OCTs is similar to that for other regional funds within those EDFs. 
Redovisningsmetoden som anvnds fr regionalfonderna under den sjtte och den sjunde EUF fr ULT liknar den som anvnds fr de vriga regionalfonderna inom dessa EUF.
The total allocation for OCT regional projects is indeed booked globally (plan 2 class 1). 
De totala anslagen fr regionala projekt i ULT redovisas samlat (plan 2, klass 1).
However, separate memorandum accounts in plan 0 class 3 and 4 are used to record the breakdown by region of the total OCT regional funds. The commitment for a regional project is recorded as any other primary commitment (plan 2 class 2). 
Srskilda redovisningsanteckningar anvnds emellertid i plan 0, klass 3 och 4 fr att visa hur medlen frdelas p de olika regionerna. tagandet fr ett regionalt projekt redovisas som varje annat primrt tagande (plan 2, klass 2).
The association of the project to an individual OCT or to a region depends on the nature 
Anknytningen av projektet till ett enskilt ULT eller till en region beror p projektets natur. Fr ett

The utilisation of Stabex funds has indeed been relatively slow because of the desire for sound management and efficiency or difficulties resulting from the geographical position of the OCTs receiving the aid (see paragraphs 42 and 52 below). 
Detta beror endera p att man varit angelgen om att bedriva en god och effektiv frvaltning eller p svrigheter till fljd av ULT-mottagarnas geografiska belgenhet (se punkterna 42 och 52 nedan).

As for the four specific comments, the following constraints should be borne in mind: (a) the inadequacy of resources available on the spot (local or other), the absence of data in other institutions (IMF, World Bank, etc.) and the special relationship between the OCTs and the Member State to which they are linked; the Commission uses the data available, which are usually provided by the recipient; (b) in some cases, the proportion of Community finance is small as the project is cofinanced; (c) and(d)anexcessiveworkloadandinsufficientstaffandfunds may also affect the projects. 
Kommissionen vlkomnar revisionsrttens positiva bedmning och avsaknaden av oegentligheter i samband med ULT:s frvaltning av gemenskapsmedlen. Vad gller de fyra srskilda anmrkningarna br hnsyn tas till fljande begrnsningar: a) Otillrckliga disponibla medel p plats (lokala eller andra), bristen p uppgifter frn vriga institutioner (IMF, Vrldsbanken etc.) och de srskilda frbindelserna mellan ULT och de medlemsstater som de har anknytning till.
Like the Court, the Commission recognises the usefulness and effectiveness of the projects in New Caledonia even if one of them (1/5 of the indicative programme) suffered from planning faults. 
Kommission instmmer i revisionsrttens uppfattning om att projekten i Nya Kaledonien varit ndamlsenliga och effektiva ven om ett av dem (1/5 av det vgledande programmet) var bristflligt utformat.
The last two ships will be delivered to the territory in May and June 1999.

The Court is right to point out that the territory of French Polynesia has not complied with its obligations as regards the provision of additional financing laid down in the financing agreement. 
Revisionsrtten hvdar med all rtt att Franska Polynesien inte uppfyllt sina frpliktelser betrffande den ytterligare finansiering som faststlls i finansieringsverenskommelsen.
The objective of the project in French Polynesia was to improve the quality of the pearls.

This audit was not completed until November 1997.

The Commission appreciates the CourtŐs positive assessment of the management of funds in Mayotte. 
Kommissionen vrdestter revisionsrttens positiva bedmning angende frvaltningen av medlen i Mayotte.
The Commission is trying to concentrate aid on a maximum of two sectors in the Netherlands Antilles. 
Kommissionen frsker koncentrera bistndet till hgst tv sektorer i Nederlndska Antillerna.
It is also trying to persuade the OCTs to concentrate this aid geographically even though the geographic dispersion of the islands is one of the features of the Netherlands Antilles and has an appreciable impact. 
Kommissionen frsker vidare vertyga ULT om att koncentrera bistndet geografiskt ven om arnas geografiska spridning r en av de faktorer som spelar en avgrande roll i Nederlndska Antillerna.
As regards the extension of contracts, the Commission will ensure that a stricter examination takes place first. 
Vad betrffar en frlngning av kontrakten kommer kommissionen att vervaka att en mer grundlig underskning utfrs innan frlngningen eller utvidgningen.
The Court is referring to the abandonment of the technical school project in Sint Maarten (ECU 8 000 000). 
Revisionsrtten hnvisar till det projekt fr uppfrande av en teknisk skola i Sint Maarten som vergavs (8 000 000 ecu).
This project was abandoned at the CommissionŐs initiative, to the great displeasure of the island and federal authorities, because, after more than five years of repeated contacts and reminders from the Commission, the OCT concerned had not managed to provide the minimum level of information required to allow the project to start (actual intentions of the local authorities, choice of language for tuition, sectoral studies, etc.). 
P kommissionens initiativ vergavs projektet till de lokala myndigheternas stora missnje eftersom det berrda ULT efter ver fem rs planerande och otaliga psttningar och pminnelser frn kommissionen inte frmdde lmna ett minimum av upplysningar fr att inleda projektet (de lokala myndigheternas faktiska nskningar, val av undervisningssprk, sektorsunderskningar, etc.).
Moreover, it was increasingly evident to the Commission that the basic data put forward in support of this project had changed (in particular the population data). 
Vidare framgick det i allt strre utstrckning fr kommissionen att de uppgifter som lg till grund fr projektet hade ndrats (bland annat de demografiska uppgifterna).
The Commission therefore admits that it was over-optimistic in this case. 
Kommissionen medger att den i detta fall varit fr optimistisk.
