39. Due to their composition and the intervals at which they meet, monitoring committees (1) are not always the most appropriate forum in which to address technical problems relating, among other things, to the implementation of measures and the eligibility of expenditure; they tend to concentrate on more general subjects and on formalising changes to the programmes (2). 
39. vervakningskommitterna (1) r inte alltid, p grund av sin sammansttning och mtesfrekvens, det lmpligaste forumet fr diskussion av tekniska problem i samband med genomfrande av tgrder och utgifters stdberttigande, de koncentrerar sig p mer allmnna frgor och p utformning av programfrnd-ringar (2).
A high staff turnover, both at Commission and at Member State level, in circumstances where manydiscussionsarecarriedoninformallyatthevariousadmin-istrative levels, has also hampered effective management. 
Den stora personalomsttningen, bde inom kommissionen och i medlemsstaterna, i ett lge dr mnga informella diskussioner frts p olika administrativa niver, har ocks hindrat frvaltningen.
The success of the measures implemented depends to a large extent on the beneficiariesŐ remits. 
De tgrder som inleds r i hg grad beroende av mottagarnas ansvarsomrden.
Several councils tried to implement measures in fields that they were not used to managing, such as State aid or vocational training. 
Flera kommuner har frskt genomfra tgrder p omrden de inte var vana att administrera, som till exempel statligt std eller yrkesutbildning.
A total of 66 urban areas are located in Objective 1 or 6 regions, 33 in Objective 2 areas, and around 20 in areas not covered by Objectives 1, 2 or 6. 
Sammanlagt finns det 66 omrden i regioner inom ml 1 eller 6, 33 stycken i regioner inom ml 2 och ett tjugotal ligger i omrden utanfr ml 1, 2 eller 6.
The infrastructure investment targeted by the ERDF Regulation (3) varies according to the objective, while investment in the fields of health and education is possible only in Objective 1 regions. 
De investeringar i infrastruktur som Europeiska regionala utvecklingsfonden (3) inriktas p r olika beroende p ml, och investeringar inom utbildning och hlsa riktas enbart till regioner i ml 1.
Investment in these fields has nevertheless been co-financed, under the URBAN initiative, in non-Objective 1 regions. 
Men sdana investeringar har nd medfinansierats i regioner utanfr ml 1 inom ramen fr Urban-initiativet.
In view of this, the provisions governing the measures should have been clearly defined to ensure there are no blanks or grey areas (1) As provided for in Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 of 20 July 1993 2 (OJ L 193, 31.7.1993, p.

In the case of many single-commitment programmes, no annual report had been drawn up at 31 December 1999. 
Fr mnga program med endast ett tagande hade inte ngon rsrapport upprttats per den 31 december 1999.
For example, the first annual reports on the Greek OP were only submitted in November 1999. 
Som exempel kan nmnas de frsta rsrapporterna fr Greklands operativa program som inte presenterades frrn i november 1999.
At the level of technical assistance 43. 
Nivn fr tekniskt bistnd 43.
An examination of the financing plans for the URBAN programmes revealed that expenditure on technical assistance, including management, monitoring, evaluation and control, was markedly higher than that generally envisaged in the CSFs or SPDs (around 2 %). Although the nature of the Community initiative programmes is such that additional requirements in terms of technical assistance may be justified, there were some instances where this expenditure amounted to more than 10 % of the financial package for the programmes. 
En genomgng av Urban-programmens finansiella planer visar att utgifterna fr tekniskt bistnd, inklusive frvaltning, vervakning, utvrdering och granskning, var betydligt hgre n vad som i allmnhet planerats (med i storleksordningen 2 %) i gemenskapens stdramar eller samlade programdokument. ven om karaktren av gemenskapsinitiativens program kan motivera kade behov av tekniskt bistnd verstiger dessa utgifter i vissa fall 10 % av programmens totala anslag.
The creation of these new bodies was justified, in the Member States, by the complexity and unwieldiness of Community management procedures and the need to coordinate the various managers concerned, as well as by the weaknesses of local departments. 
I medlemsstaterna motiveras skapandet av dessa nya strukturer med gemenskapens komplexa och tungrodda frvaltningsfrfaranden och med behovet av att samordna berrda frvaltare samt av bristande kommunal frvaltning.
But the sums spent on technical assistance could have had more long-lasting effects if these financial packages had been used to reinforce and upgrade existing structures, given that the new structures created are supposed to be dismantled once the pro-grammeisover. 
Men de belopp som lagts ned p tekniskt bistnd skulle kunnat f mera hllbara effekter om de istllet anvnts fr att frstrka och frbttra redan existerande strukturer, srskilt som det r meningen att de nytillkomna strukturerna skall frsvinna nr programmet en gng r avslutat.
(1) Anomalies have nevertheless been detected. 
(1) Sammanblandning har ocks kunnat konstateras.
As regards the first Spanish URBAN programme, Article 8 of the Decision establishes as the implementing provisions those annexed to the text of the programme, which are not very detailed. 
I det frsta spanska Urban-programmet anges det i beslutets artikel 8 att tillmpningsbestmmelserna skall vara de som anges i programmets bilaga, vilka r mycket kortfattade.
At the same time, the Annex to this Decision includes standardised implementing provisions. In consequence there are, for example, two sets of rules governing the operation of the Monitoring Committees and their responsibilities. 
Samtidigt finns det som bilaga till samma beslut standardbestmmelser fr genomfrande vilket, till exempel, leder till tv regelverk fr vervakningskommittns arbete och ansvarsomrden.
In the case of the second Spanish programme, the only provisions that exist are those set out in the text of the OP, and the standard provisions are missing, which means that important aspects of the implementation of the programme are not covered, and that of financial implementa-2 tion in particular. () Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 of 20 July 1993 (OJ L 193, 31.7.1993, p. 
I det andra spanska programmet ingr endast bestmmelserna frn det operativa programmet och standardbestmmelserna saknas, vilket innebr att viktiga delar av programmets genomfrande r 2 oreglerade, framfrallt det ekonomiska genomfrandet. () Artikel 25 i frordning (EEG) nr 4253/88 ndrad genom rdets frordning (EEG) nr 2082/93 av den 20 juli 1993 (EGT L 193, 31.7.1993, s.
In some cases, the structures created were disproportionate in terms of their composition or location. 
I ngra fall var de nyskapade strukturerna illa avpassade till mlen betrffande sammansttning eller placering.
In other cases, the management of the programmes had been entrusted to companies in the private sector, which can result in conflicts of interest. 
I andra fall hade frvaltningen av programmen verlmnats till privata bolag, vilket kan leda till intressekonflikter.
Indeed, in Greece, one of the programme management companies was also a programme beneficiary. In addition, the cost of the consultancy services it supplied to the small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) that were beneficiaries of the URBAN programme was also met by the programme in question. 
I Grekland var ett av de fretag som frvaltar program samtidigt mottagare av std frn samma program. Dessutom ersatte programmet kostnaden fr rdgivning som fretaget gav till sm och medelstora fretag som deltog i Urban-programmet.
In several cases (Spain and Greece), management companies were, contrary to the Community VAT Directives, treated as public authorities and not as taxable persons, so that there were no invoices for the works and services supplied by these companies. 
I flera fall (E, EL) betraktades frvaltningsfretag som offentliga myndigheter och inte som skattskyldiga, i strid med bestmmelserna i gemenskapsdirektiven fr mervrdesskatt, vilket lett till att fakturering saknas fr arbeten och tjnster som utfrts av dessa fretag.
In Portugal, a foundation was set up to manage one programme. This resulted in a sig-nificantincreaseininfrastructurecosts,sincetheapplicablerate of VAT for infrastructure work commissioned by a body such as a foundation is higher than that applied where the main contractor is a local authority (17 % instead of 5 %). 
I Portugal ledde skapandet av en stiftelse fr frvaltning av ett program till betydligt hgre kostnader fr infrastruktur eftersom mervrdesskatten fr infrastrukturarbeten r lgre nr arbetet utfrs av en lokal myndighet n nr samma arbete grs av en juridisk person som till exempel en stiftelse (5 % i stllet fr 17 %) 47.
Despite the considerable funding provided for technical assistance, URBAN programmes showed the same types of weakness (pointed out by the Court on a number of occasions (3) as the other programmes co-financed by the Structural Funds with regard to financial management (expenditure accounting and declarations of expenditure), monitoring and evaluation. 
Trots de betydande anslag som beviljas till tekniskt bistnd uppvisar Urban-programmen samma slags brister, vilka ptalats ett flertal gnger av revisionsrtten (3), som andra program som medfinansieras av strukturfonderna betrffande ekonomisk frvaltning (redovisning eller deklaration av utgifter) vervakning och utvrdering.
Furthermore, little was done to promote information exchanges between beneficiary cities, despite the fact that this objective (4) was used to justify increasing the funds envisaged in order to include technical assistance. 
Dessutom har f konkreta tgrder genomfrts fr att frmja erfarenhetsutbyte mellan mottagarstder trots att detta ml (4) var sklet till hjda anslag fr tekniskt bistnd.
The Commission itself enlisted the assistance of a consult-ant.Despitethetitleofthetaskstobeperformedbytheselected consultant (ÔCoordination and reporting on Urban Community InitiativeŐ), the results were modest: creation of an Internet site, preparation of Ôprogramme summaryŐ sheets and preparation of case studies on around 20 neighbourhoods covered by URBAN. 
Trots en tydlig beteckning p de uppgifter den utvalde konsulten skulle utfra (Coordination and reporting on Urban Community Initiative), r resultatet blygsamt: skapandet av en hemsida p Internet, framtagning av blad fr Ósammanstllning av programÓ och frberedande av fallstudier av ett tjugotal kvarter i Urban-program.
Thiswasdueinparticulartothevaguedescriptionofthetasks that the consultant was to perform. 
Detta beror framfrallt p en vag beskrivning av de uppgifter konsulten skulle utfra.
Furthermore, the Internet site, which simply describes the URBAN initiative and its programmes, has not been updated since November 1999. 
Hemsidan p Internet, som bara beskriver Urban-initiativet och dess program, har dessutom inte uppdaterats sedan november 1999.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAMMES Financial management 49. 
GENOMF RANDE AV PROGRAMMEN Ekonomisk frvaltning 49.
The final date for legal and financial commitments at national level was set at 31 December 1999 and the Commission did not 3 () Most recently in the Annual Report concerning the financial year 1999, ŐSpecific appraisal in the context of the Statement of Assur-anceŐ, paragraphs 3.38 to 3.81, and ŐFinancial management of struc-4 tural measuresŐ, paragraphs 3.100 to 3.127.

C 124/12 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 25.4.2001 beviljade inte ngra frlngningar.

Slutdatum fr utbetalningar var satt till den 31 december 2001, utom fr eventuell frlngning.
In view of the slow progress of the OPs (see paragraphs 8 and 9), some of which did not actually get under way until 1999, the managers of them were obliged to look for techniques that would make it possible to enter commitments for the actions quickly, in order to avoid underimplementation of the OPsandthecancellationofthecorrespondingCommunityfund-ing. 
Med tanke p att de operativa programmen gick s lngsamt framt (se punkterna 8 och 9), och att en del egentligen inte startade frrn 1999, var frvaltarna tvungna att finna stt att snabbt gra taganden fr tgrder fr att undvika att de operativa programmen underutnyttjades och motsvarande gemenskapsmedel frfll.
50. The Monitoring Committees had until 31 December 1999 to propose or make adjustments to the programmes that came within their terms of reference. 
50. vervakningskommitterna kunde nda fram till den 31 december 1999, inom sitt ansvarsomrde, fresl eller genomfra frndringar inom programmen.
The content of the programmes was therefore adjusted to bring them into line with what had been done, thereby calling into question the quality of the programming. 
Programinnehllet anpassades allts fr att verensstmma med vad som genomfrts, vilket lett till att programplaneringens kvalitet kan ifrgasttas.
The series of changes made to the programmes in the last months of 1999 created uncertainty among managers and beneficiaries, as they often had to work on the basis of three different texts and financial plans: those in force, those being examined by the Commission and those that were probably going to be adopted at the last Monitoring Committee meeting for the year. 
De successiva ndringsfrslag som genomfrdes i programmen under de sista mnaderna av 1999 har lett till oskerhet hos frvaltarna och mottagarna genom att dessa ofta varit tvungna att arbeta utifrn tre olika texter och finansiella planer: gllande planer, de som kommissionen bereder och de som frmodligen skulle antas vid vervakningskommittns sista mte fr ret.
Someofthetechniquesusedtofacilitatethecommitmentof measures, although not necessarily irregular were open to question. They included: (a) the original operations and measures were replaced by others that could be carried out more rapidly or had already been completed. Actions that were to have been carried out in con-junctionwiththeprivatesectorandinnovativemeasures, which are more difficult to implement, were replaced by more traditional measures (see paragraph 8); (b) the rate of Structural Fund co-financing was increased, so that programmes could be finalised more rapidly, but for the same amount of expenditure. 
Vissa diskutabla, men inte ndvndigtvis oriktiga, metoder har anvnts fr att gra det lttare att gra taganden fr tgrder: a) Ersttande av de verksamheter och tgrder som ursprungligen planerats med andra som gr snabbare att genomfra eller redan har avslutats. tgrder som skulle genomfras i samarbete med den privata sektorn, liksom nyskapande tgrder som r svrare att genomfra, har ersatts med mera traditionella tgrder (se punkt 8). b) En kning av strukturfondernas andel av medfinansieringen gr det mjligt att avsluta programmet snabbare samtidigt som samma utgiftsbelopp betalas ut.
Analysis of the financial plans for programmes shows substantial reductions in the national contributions for some programmes (see the table); (c) agreements concerning the conduct of actions were concluded between the authority responsible for implementing the OP and other public or part-public authorities or companies, with the object of treating as final beneficiary a party thatwas,inthefinalanalysis,onlythemanager; (d) goods and services were ordered well in advance of the date on which they would usually have been ordered. 
En analys av programmens finansiella planer visar p betydande minskningar av de nationella bidragen till vissa program (se tabell 1). c) verenskommelser om genomfrande av tgrder tecknas mellan den myndighet som svarar fr att det operativa programmet inleds och andra myndigheter eller privata eller halvstatliga fretag. Genom dessa avtal framstr den som egentligen endast r frvaltare som slutlig mottagare. d) Bestllning av varor eller tjnster mycket tidigare n vad som normalt skulle skett.
Several cases were detected where beneficiaries had already purchased equipment or contracted for services in connection with activities that were to take place in buildings which were still under construction or, even, at the design stage; (e) funds were set up, ostensibly for the purpose of implementing certain measures. 
I flera fall har man kunnat konstatera att mottagare redan kpt utrustning eller slutit avtal om tjnster fr verksamheter som skulle utfras i byggnader som var under uppfrande eller till och med p projektstadiet. e) Bildandet av fonder med ansvar fr genomfrandet av vissa tgrder.
The mere act of setting up a fund was regarded by the responsible authorities as a legal and financial commitment. 
Ansvariga myndigheter betraktar sjlva bildandet av en fond som ett juridiskt och ekonomiskt tagande.
This practice does not comply with the implementing provisions and makes it possible for measures to be closed in terms of commitments even if no action or project has been launched. 
Detta arbetsstt verensstmmer inte med genomfrandebestmmelserna, och det gr det mjligt att avsluta tgrder p tagandeniv trots att varken verksamhet eller projekt inletts.
Furthermore, amendments were made to the financing plans for the programmes and to the actual content of the measures at the end of the period. These amendments should have been accompanied by changes in the objectives, in the indicators and in the conclusions of the ex ante evaluations, which is not the case. 
Dessutom skulle de ndringsfrslag som genomfrdes i slutet av perioden betrffande programmens finansiella planer och konkreta tgrder ha tfljts av frndringar av ml, indikatorer och slutsatser av frhandsbedmningen, vilket inte skett.
The slow progress of the programmes resulted in a concentration of contracting procedures in the final months of 1999. 
Frseningen av programmens fortskridande har lett till en koncentration av slutande av avtal till de sista mnaderna 1999.
Furthermore, many infrastructure projects will only be completed after the end of the commitment and payment periods. 
Dessutom kommer flera projekt p infrastrukturomrdet inte att vara avslutade frrn efter det att tagande-och betalningsperioden r ver.
The provision of services and the execution of the activities for which this infrastructure was intended, and which were the main reasons for funding it, will not therefore be carried out under URBAN. Steps must therefore be taken to ensure that the investments made are actually geared towards achieving the intended objectives. 
Tillhandahllande av tjnster eller genomfrande av tgrder inom dessa infrastrukturer, vilket var de huvudsakliga sklen fr finansiering, kommer allts inte att kunna realiseras inom ramen fr Urban-initiativet. tgrder mste vidtas fr att skerstlla att gjorda investeringar verkligen anvnds fr genomfrande av de projekt de var avsedda fr.
In fact, the areas targeted by URBAN II (2000 to 2006) are mainly new ones and there is a real risk that, in the absence of suitable monitoring, the proposed activities will be abandoned. 
Urban II (2000Đ2006) riktas frmst till nya omrden och det finns en reell risk fr definitiv nedlggning av planerad verksamhet om inte lmplig vervakning och uppfljning ger rum.
54. Measures that were planned as being spread over the lifetime of OPs were carried out over a much reduced time span. 
54. tgrder som planerades pg ver de operativa programmens hela genomfrandeperiod har genomfrts under en mycket kort tidsperiod.
Several cases were noted where training courses that had initially been intended to be spread over a period of five or six years were provided in a matter of months. 
I flera fall har man konstaterat att utbildningar, som ursprungligen planerades pg under fem eller sex r, har genomfrts p ngra mnader.
Moreover the systems of aid for SMEs did not get under way until the end of the period, in view ofthedifficultyofdefiningalegalframeworkforasmallpopula-tion. 
Dessutom har stdsystem fr hjlp till sm och medelstora fretag inte kunnat starta frrn i slutet av perioden p grund av svrigheter att definiera den rttsliga grunden fr en liten befolkning.
Selection and implementation of actions 55. 
Val av tgrder och genomfrande 55.
At the programming stage, for most interventions, the beneficiary, the type of action and often, even, the individual projects had already been defined, either implicitly or explicitly. 
Vid programplaneringen av majoriteten av tgrder bestmdes vem mottagaren var, vilken typ av tgrd som skulle genomfras och ofta ocks uttryckligen eller underfrsttt hur de enskilda projekten skulle se ut.
It was, therefore, only rarely that selection procedures took place for individual projects. 
Det var allts ovanligt att urvalsprocesser genomfrdes fr enskilda projekt.
For most of the audited programmes, the financing of administrative expenditure for some public services, including the field of social welfare (1), was permitted. 
I majoriteten av granskade program tillts finansiering av administrativa utgifter fr vissa offentliga tjnster, speciellt p det sociala omrdet (1).
