This was too late for most Member States and regions to take the revised guidelines into account in the MTR. On the other hand the revised guidelines involved only a number of qualitative shifts in the initial guidelines, for instance in the consolidation of the Lisbon strategy, in the fields of transport (emphasis on intermodality, shift from road to rail and waterways) and energy. 
Det var d fr sent fr de flesta medlemsstater och regioner att ta hnsyn till de reviderade riktlinjerna i halvtidsutvrderingen.  andra sidan innehll de reviderade riktlinjerna endast ett antal kvalitativa ndringar till de ursprungliga riktlinjerna, till exempel nr det gller konsolideringen av Lissabon-strategin, p omrdena transport (betoning p intermodalitet, vergng frn frn vgar till jrnvg och vattenfarleder) och energi.
All operational programmes and Community support frameworks had to be revised as a result of the allocation of the performance reserve. 
Alla de operativa programmen och gemenskapsstdramarna mste ses ver till fljd av frdelningen av resultatreserven.
This involved the adaptation of each programme through a similar process as applied during the initial programming, including consultation of relevant Commission Directorates General and formal adoption by the Commission. 
Detta innebar bland annat att varje program anpassades genom en process liknande den som tillmpades fr den ursprungliga programplaneringen, vilket inkluderade konsultation av berrda generaldirektrer vid kommissionen och formellt antagande av kommissionen.
There was no obligation on Member States to revise OPs/CSFs for reasons other than allocation of the performance reserve. 
Det fanns inget krav p att medlemsstaterna skulle se ver de operativa programmen/gemenskapsstdramarna av andra anledningar n frdelningen av resultatreserven.
Of the 25 OPs and CSFs examined by the Court, revisions for other purposes were made in 15 cases. 
Av de 25 operativa program och gemenskapsstdramar som revisionsrtten granskade gjordes versyn i andra syften i 15 fall.

Changes of these types were for example made in Ireland, Portugal and Italy. 
Sdana ndringar hade till exempel gjorts i Irland, Portugal och Italien.
As already noted in respect of the performance reserve, however, priority was given to activities where money could be spent, for instance: Ń SPD Burgenland, Austria. 
S som redan nmnts i frga om resultatreserven hade man dock prioriterat verksamheter dr pengar kunde utnyttjas, till exempel fljande: Ń Samlat programdokument fr Burgenland, sterrike.
These are public projects, which were already financed with national funds prior to the current programme period. 
Det gller offentliga program som redan finansierades med nationella medel fre den nuvarande programperioden.
They were not foreseen in the initial programme. 
De var inte med i det ursprungliga programmet.
This approach was mainly applied in order to avoid decommitments, Ń CSF Italy, S&E OP Ireland: The financial plans were substantially changed because private funding initially foreseen was reduced (CSF Italy by 95 %, S&E OP by 70 %) and partly replaced by national public funds. 
Ń Gemenskapsstdram fr Italien, operativt program fr social och ekonomisk sammanhllning, Irland. De ekonomiska planerna ndrades kraftigt p grund av att den ursprungligen planerade privata finansieringen minskades (gemenskaps-stdramen fr Italien med 95 % och det operativa programmet fr social och ekonomisk sammanhllning med 70 %) och delvis ersattes med nationella offentliga medel.
The CourtŐs examination found that transfers of funds for environmental measures were made mainly in favour of aid for enterprises and transport infrastructure (especially roads). 
Revisionsrttens granskning visade att verfringar av medel avsedda fr miljtgrder frmst gjordes till frmn fr std till fretag och transportinfrastruktur (i synnerhet vgar).
This was the case, for example, in Germany, Spain, Italy and Belgium, amounting to around 800 million euros (about 1 % of Structural Fund allocations for these Member States). 
S var fallet i till exempel Tyskland, Spanien, Italien och Belgien till ett belopp av 800 miljoner euro (omkring 1 % av strukturfondsanslagen till dessa medlemsstater).
Overall the Court found that, in respect of a number of Structural Fund programmes, mid-term revision led to improvements (for example taking account of policy priorities or changes in EU policies or improving performance indicators). 
P det stora hela konstaterade revisionsrtten att halvtidsversynen ledde till frbttringar fr ett antal strukturfondsprogram (till exempel nr det gller att ta hnsyn till politiska prioriteringar eller frndringar i EU-politiken eller frbttrade resultatindikatorer).
A significant impact in practice however was to shift budgets away from underspending measures. 
En viktig effekt i praktiken var dock att budgeten riktades bort frn tgrder dr medlen inte utnyttjades fullt ut.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2007-2013 45. 
F RFARANDEN F R 2007Đ2013 45.
They differ in a number of respects from the arrangements which applied in 2000-2006. 
De skiljer sig t i ett antal avseenden frn de frfaranden som gllde 2000Đ2006.
In general, where changes have been made, they provide for a greater degree of flexibility than under the 2000-2006 arrangements and should assist in Ôfine tuningŐ mid-term evaluation and the revision of spending plans to the particular circumstances of individual programmes. 
Generellt sett har dessa ndringar bidragit till mer flexibilitet n frfarandena fr 2000Đ2006 och br vara till hjlp nr det gller att ÓfinjusteraÓ halvtidsutvrderingen och halvtidsversynen av stdprogrammen efter de srskilda omstndigheter som rder fr de enskilda programmen.
Ń There is still a requirement for evaluation before, during and after the programme period. 
Ń Det finns fortfarande ett krav p att utvrdering skall ske fre, under och efter programperioden.
Evaluations must, in particular, take account of the objective of sustainable development and of the relevant Community legislation concerning environmental impact and strategic environmental assessment (1). 
Vid utvrderingarna skall man i synnerhet ta hnsyn till mlet hllbar utveckling och till den gllande gemenskapslagstiftningen om miljkonsekvenser och strategisk miljbedmning (1).
Ń On the other hand there is no obligation to carry out, for all programmes, a mid-term review at a specific point in the programme period. 
Ń  andra sidan finns det inget krav p att det fr alla program skall gras en halvtidsversyn vid en specifik tidpunkt i programperioden.
Ń The principle of Ôproportional interventionŐ applies to evaluation. 
Ń Principen om Óproportionell interventionÓ gller fr utvrdering.
Financial and administrative resources employed by the Commission and the Member States in the implementation of the funds in relation to the selection of indicators, evaluations, management and control system and reporting shall be proportional to the total amount of expenditure allocated to an operational programme (2). 
De finansiella och administrativa medel som kommissionen och medlemsstaterna anvnder fr genomfrandet av fonderna nr det gller val av indikatorer, utvrdering, frvaltning och kontroller samt rapportering skall st i proportion till de totala utgifter som anslagits fr ett operativt program (2).
Ń There is no compulsory performance reserve. 
Ń Det finns ingen obligatorisk resultatreserv.
Member States may instead choose to establish a national contingency reserve and/or a national performance reserve (3). 
Medlemsstaterna fr istllet sjlva vlja att avstta en nationell reserv fr ofrutsedda utgifter och/eller en nationell resultatreserv (3).
(The procedures for allocating any national performance reserve resemble those applying to the performance reserve in 2000-2006). 
(Fr-farandena fr frdelning av nationella resultatreserver liknar dem som gllde fr resultatreserven 2000Đ2006).
Ń As for 2000-2006 mid-term revision of programmes is not compulsory for all programmes. (Revision of the central programming guidelines agreed by the Council does not require Member States to change their operational programmes or national strategic reference framework). 
Ń Liksom under 2000Đ2006 r halvtidsversynen av program inte obligatorisk fr alla program. ( versynen av de centrala riktlinjer som rdet faststllt innebr inte att medlemsstaterna mste ndra sina operativa program eller sin nationella strategiska referensram.)
Two cases in which Member States might decide to carry out a review are however identified in the Regulation: 1. significant socio-economic changes and to take greater or different account of major changes in Community, national or regional priorities, 2. in the light of a significant departure from the goals initially set or following implementation difficulties. 
Tv fall i vilka medlemsstaterna kan vlja att utfra en versyn nmns dock i frordningen: 1. Vid betydande socioekonomiska frndringar och fr att ta strre eller annan hnsyn till viktiga frndringar i gemenskapens nationella eller regionala prioriteringar.

The ÔN + 2Ő rule will still apply, but will (for a limited period) become an ÔN + 3Ő rule for Member States whose GDP per head from 2001 to 2003 was below 85 % of the EU-25 average. 
N + 2-regeln kommer fortfarande att glla, men blir (fr en begrnsad period) en N + 3-regel fr medlemsstater vilkas BNP per capita mellan 2001 och 2003 var under 85 % av genomsnittet i EU-25.
Mid-term evaluation provided a check on the progress made in implementing Structural Fund programmes and confirmed that implementation systems were significantly improved from the previous generation of Structural Funds. On the other hand it was in many cases too early to assess the effectiveness and, a fortiori, the impact of programmes. 
Halvtidsutvrderingen innebar en kontroll av hur genomfrandet av strukturfondsprogrammen framskred och ledde till att det gick att bekrfta att systemen fr genomfrandet vsentligt hade frbttrats jmfrt med den tidigare strukturfondsgenerationen.  andra sidan var det i mnga fall fr tidigt att bedma programmens ndamlsenlighet och i nnu hgre grad deras effekt.
The performance reserve was used primarily to maximise spending rather than to concentrate spending on areas which were shown to be particularly effective. 
Resultatreserven anvndes frmst till att maximera stdet snarare n till att fokusera det p omrden dr stdet visat sig vara srskilt ndamlsenligt.
The Commission emphasised the importance of absorption (see paragraph 33). 
Kommissionen betonade vikten av utnyttjandekapaciteten (se punkt 33).
In a number of cases the mid-term revision of Structural Fund programmes improved the way in which operational programmes took account of policy priorities or changes in EU policies (e.g. as reflected in the Lisbon and Gothenborg European Councils) or improved performance indicators. 
I flera fall innebar halvtidsversynen av strukturfondsprogrammen att man i de operativa programmen p ett bttre stt tog hnsyn till politiska prioriteringar och frndringar i EU-politiken (t.ex. s som avspeglades i Europeiska rdets mten i Lissabon och Gteborg) eller att resultatindikatorerna frbttrades.
A significant effect of the mid-term revision was to give priority to activities where money could be spent. 
En betydande effekt av halvtidsversynen var att prioritet gavs till verksamheter dr pengarna kunde utnyttjas.
Serious efforts were made to carry out the mid-term processes as set out in the Structural Funds Regulation. On the other hand, since the mid-term evaluations were carried out at a relatively early stage in the programme, the mid-term evaluations and revisions could provide little assurance that Structural Fund spending would have the effects and impacts desired. 
Serisa anstrngningar gjordes att utfra halvtidsfrfarandena i enlighet med vad som faststlls i strukturfondsfrordningen.  andra sidan, eftersom halvtidsutvrderingen gjordes p ett relativt tidigt stadium av programmet kunde halvtidsutvrderingen och versynen endast ge liten skerhet om att struktur-fondsstdet skulle f nskad effekt och verkan.
The Member States and the Commission also made use of the performance reserve and the mid-term revision to promote spending that could be carried out within the permitted time-frame. 
Medlemsstaterna och kommissionen anvnde ocks resultatreserven och halvtidsversynen till att frmja std som kunde utnyttjas inom den tilltna tidsramen.
The Court is of the view that it remains appropriate to include in large scale expenditure programmes, running for as long as 7 years, provision for reconsideration of programme objectives, measures and budgetary allocations during the course of the programme. 
Revisionsrtten anser det fortfarande vara befogat att omfattande stdprogram som pgr i upp till sju r innehller bestmmelser om att programml, tgrder och budgetanslag skall ses ver under programmens lopp.
But the audit illustrated tensions inherent in the planning and management of the Structural Funds which need to be borne in mind when designing and applying arrangements for mid-term evaluation and revision. 
Men granskningen visade p spnningar mellan planeringen och frvaltningen av strukturfonderna som man br vara medveten om nr frfarandena fr halvtidsutvrderingen och halvtidsversynen utformas och tillmpas.
Ń Expenditure should be efficient, effective and economic. On the other hand the commitment totals agreed for the Structural and Cohesion Funds and set out in successive EU financial perspectives are targets as well as ceilings on spending (1). 
Ń Stdet br flja principerna om effektivitet, ndamlsenlighet och sparsamhet.  andra sidan r de totala tagandebelopp som beslutats fr strukturfonderna och sammanhllningsfonden och som faststlls i flera p varandra fljande budgetplaner fr EU bde ml och vre grnser fr stdet (1).
Absorption is itself an implicit objective for EU spending on cohesion. 
Utnyttjandekapaciteten r ett implicit ml fr EU:s std till sammanhllning.
Ń The N + 2 rule provides a discipline to ensure that spending is well planned, but creates an incentive for the Member States and the Commission to favour activities where spending can be undertaken with relative ease in allocation of any reserve. 
Ń N + 2-regeln r ett styrmedel fr vlplanerat std, men ocks ett incitament fr medlemsstaterna och kommissionen att gynna verksamheter dr stdet kan utnyttjas relativt enkelt.
The later the revision, the less the chance of making changes to a programme; but the earlier any revision, the more difficult it is to form a robust judgment about the effectiveness and impact of expenditure. 
Ju senare versynen grs, desto mindre chans finns att det gr att ndra i programmet, men ju tidigare versynen grs, desto svrare r det att gra ett robust uttalande om stdets ndamlsenlighet och verkan.
A corollary is that, if evaluation is to play a significant part in the allocation of the funds, it is important to carry out a high quality ex ante evaluation. 
En naturlig fljd r att om utvrderingen skall vara en viktig del av frdelningen av medel r det viktigt att utfra en hgkvalitativ frhandsbedmning.
The particular context of the 2000-2006 programme period exacerbated some of these problems. 
De srskilda reglerna fr programperioden 2000Đ2006 frvrrade ngra av dessa problem.
Expenditure for the 1994-1999 period was not subject to the N + 2 rule, and was significantly delayed (indeed the 1994-1999 programmes are still not closed). 
Fr stdet under perioden 1994Đ1999 gllde inte N + 2-regeln och det var kraftigt frsenat (i sjlva verket r programmen 1994Đ1999 nnu inte avslutade).
This contributed to the delay in starting programmes for the 2000-2006 period. 
Detta bidrog till att inledandet av programmen fr perioden 2000Đ2006 frsenades.
Some of the other limitations of mid-term evaluation are more fundamental: it is intrinsically difficult to assess the net outcome of infrastructure investments, or of employment initiatives. 
Vissa av de andra begrnsningarna fr halvtidsutvrderingen r mer grundlggande: Det r svrt att bedma nettoresultatet av infrastrukturinvesteringar eller sysselsttningsinitiativ.

5.6.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 124/13 SUMMARY III. 
5.6.2007 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 124/13 SAMMANFATTNING III.
First indent Ń The aims of the mid-term evaluation with regard to the assessment of effectiveness, efficiency and expected impacts were limited to analysis of initial outputs and results. 
Frsta strecksatsen. Đ Syftet med halvtidsutvrderingen avseende bedmningen av ndamlsenlighet, effektivitet och vntad effekt begrnsades till en analys av de frsta resultaten.
The late or slow start-up of many programmes made such analysis difficult, although it was carried out in some cases (see Chapter 5 of the CommissionŐs report Growing Evaluation Capacity). Nevertheless, the other aspects examined in the mid-term evaluation provided useful input to the decisions on the allocation of the performance reserve and the adaptation of operational programmes. 
Den sena eller lngsamma inledningen av mnga program gjorde det svrt att genomfra denna analys, ven om den genomfrdes i vissa fall (se kapitel 5 i kommissionens rapport Ó kande utvrderingskapacitetÓ). vriga aspekter som undersktes vid halvtidsutvrderingen gav viktiga upplysningar som kunde anvndas vid besluten om frdelningen av resultatreserven och anpassningen av de operativa programmen.
Second indent Ń The performance reserve was used to allocate resources to programmes on several criteria for which the Commission recommended three groups of indicators. 
Andra strecksatsen. Đ Resultatreserven anvndes fr att frdela medel till program utifrn flera kriterier fr vilka kommissionen rekommenderade tre grupper av indikatorer.
Financial absorption was an important factor, but the criteria varied between Member States and were often wider subject to availability of robust data (see points 28 and 32). 
Utnyttjandet av medlen var en viktig faktor, men den varierade mellan medlemsstaterna och berodde ofta p om det fanns tillgng till tillfrlitliga datauppgifter (se punkterna 28 och 32).
