5.9.2003 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 211/3 SUMMARY I. Export refunds are subsidies paid to exporters to enable agricultural products to be exported onto the world market. 
5.9.2003 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 211/3 SAMMANFATTNING I. Exportbidrag r bidrag som betalas ut till exportrer fr att underltta export av jordbruksprodukter p vrldsmarknaden.
The cost to the Community budget is significant: in 2000 the expenditure amounted to 5,6 billion euro and in 2001 expenditure amounted to 3,4 billion euro. 
Kostnaderna fr gemenskapens budget r betydande. r 2000 uppgick utgifterna till 5,6 miljarder euro och 2001 till 3,4 miljarder euro.
The auditŐs objective was to evaluate the method used by the Commission in setting export refund rates. 
Syftet med granskningen var att utvrdera kommissionens metoder fr att faststlla exportbidragssatserna.
The four most important product groups for export refunds were selected: meat and meat products, milk and milk products, cereals and sugar. 
De fyra strsta produktgrupperna som fr exportbidrag valdes ut, nmligen ktt och kttprodukter, mjlk och mjlkprodukter, spannml och socker.
Together these four product groups account for more than 85 % of export refund expenditure. 
Tillsammans str dessa fyra produktgrupper fr mer n 85 % av utgifterna fr exportbidrag.
Maximising exports is not an objective. The Commission focuses its market management on achieving stability on the internal market at a price level which avoids products going into the more expensive intervention system. 
Mlsttningen r inte att maximera exporten. Kommissionen koncentrerar sin frvaltning av marknaden p att uppn stabilitet p den inre marknaden till en prisniv dr man undviker att produkterna istllet blir berttigade till std frn det dyrare interventionssystemet.
Export refunds are one of the tools to achieve this objective. 
Exportbidrag r ett av medlen fr att n detta ml.
V. Although, in general, ample market information was available to the Commission, it was not always up-to-date, complete or objective. 
V. Kommissionen hade i allmnhet tillgng till en stor mngd information om marknaden, men denna var inte alltid uppdaterad, fullstndig eller objektiv.
The use made of the information, the impact on the refund rates actually set, was often not clear. 
Det var ofta oklart hur informationen anvndes, dvs. vilken inverkan den hade p de faststllda exportbidragssatserna.
The Commission stresses the point that setting the rates is the result of a complex assessment. 
Kommissionen understryker att faststllandet av bidragssatser r ett resultat av en komplex bedmning.
It does not, however, define market parameters to be used in this assessment. 
Den definierar emellertid inte ngra marknadsparametrar som skall anvndas vid denna bedmning.
The management checks referred to in the Commission reply were not systematically evidenced. 
De ledningskontroller som omtalas i kommissionens svar dokumenterades inte systematiskt.
Export refund rates are intended to bridge the gap between EU and world prices to the extent necessary. 
Exportbidrag r avsedda att utjmna skillnaden mellan EU-priser och vrldsmarknadspriser i den utstrckning detta r ndvndigt.
The Commission estimates this gap for milk products, cereals and sugar on the basis of indicative prices or quotations. 
Kommissionen uppskattar denna skillnad fr mjlkprodukter, spannml och socker p grundval av vgledande priser eller noteringar.
It does not do so for beef products because it maintains that there are no world prices. 
Detta grs inte fr ntkttsprodukter eftersom kommissionen vidhller att det inte finns ngot vrldsmarknadspris fr dessa.
For the most part, the CommissionŐs calculations indicate that the estimated gap is not exceeded by the refund. 
I de flesta fallen anger kommissionens berkningar att den uppskattade skillnaden inte verskrids av bidraget.
However, for significant periods covered by the audit, the CommissionŐs estimates show that the EU price net of refund is below the world price for certain milk products. 
Emellertid visar kommissionens uppskattningar att EU-priset exklusive bidrag ligger under vrldsmarknadspriset fr vissa mjlkprodukter under omfattande perioder som omfattas av granskningen.
WHAT ARE EXPORT REFUNDS AND HOW ARE RATES SET? 
VAD R EXPORTBIDRAG OCH HUR FASTSTLLS BIDRAGSSATSERNA?
Export refunds are paid to exporters of agricultural products to countries outside the EU. 
Exportbidrag betalas ut till dem som exporterar jordbruksprodukter till lnder utanfr EU.
Their main purpose is to enable agricultural products to be marketed in these countries by compensating exporters for the difference between EU internal market prices and the lower prices normally prevailing on the world market. 
Den huvudsakliga avsikten med bidragen r att gra det mjligt att slja jordbruksprodukterna i dessa lndergenom att exportrerna kompenseras fr skillnaden mellan priserna p EU:s inre marknad och vrldsmarknadens vanligtvis lgre priser.
Expenditure on export refunds has decreased under WTO agreements. 
Utgifterna fr exportbidrag har minskat efter WTO-avtalen.
The cost to the Community budget is still significant: in 2000 the expenditure amounted to 5,6 billion euro and in 2001 expenditure amounted to 3,4 billion euro. 
Kostnaden fr gemenskapens budget r fortfarande betydande, r 2000 var utgifterna 5,6 miljarder euro och r 2001 var de 3,4 miljarder euro.

C 211/4 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning 5.9.2003 Illustration 1 Frdelning av exportbidrag per produktgrupp fr EUGFJ-ret 2001 3.
The cost to the budget is determined by two factors: the volume of exported products and the export refund rate for the various products set by the Commission. 
Vilken kostnad som belastar budgeten beror p tv faktorer: dels vilken produktmngd som exporteras och dels vilken bidragssats som kommissionen faststller fr de olika produkterna.
The Commission controls the volume of product exported by means of export licences. 
Kommissionen kontrollerar den exporterade produktmng-den genom exportlicenser.
The refund rate for certain products is significant in comparison with the world market price and in some cases, notably sugar, it is considerably more than the world price. 
Exportbidragssatsen fr vissa produkter r betydande jmfrt med priset p vrldsmarknaden och i vissa fall, framfr allt nr det gller socker, r bidraget betydligt hgre n priset p vrldsmarknaden.
Table 1 compares a selection of the rates tested with world prices.

5. General for Agriculture (DG AGRI), which are organised by product group, are responsible for proposing export refund rates for each eligible product. 
5. torat fr jordbruk (GD Jordbruk), som indelats efter produkt-grupp, ansvarar fr att lmna frslag till exportbidragssatser fr varje bidragsberttigad produkt.
Proposals are presented to the Management Committee concerned (representatives of the Member States), which is required to take a vote on each proposal. 
Frslagen lggs fram fr den berrda frvaltningskommittn (som representerar medlemsstaterna) och denna skall rsta om varje frslag.
If the committee votes against the CommissionŐs proposal by qualified majority, which in practice rarely happens, the proposal is referred to the Council. 
Om kommittn med kvalificerad majoritet rstar emot kommissionens frslag, vilket i praktiken sllan hnder, lmnas frslagen vidare till rdet.
Otherwise the Commission adopts the proposed rates. 
I annat fall antar kommissionen de freslagna bidragssatserna.
In certain product sectors (e.g. beef and milk products), the rate is set periodically by the Commission without any tendering procedure, at a rhythm provided for by the regulation covering the CMO for the product concerned, at least every four weeks for milk products and at least every three months for beef. 
Inom vissa produktomrden (t.ex. ntktt och mjlkpro-dukter), faststlls bidragssatsen regelbundet av kommissionen utan ngot anbudsfrfarande. Hur ofta detta sker anges i frordningen om den gemensamma organisationen av marknaden fr de olika produkterna, fr mjlkprodukter r det minst var fjrde vecka och fr ntktt en gng i kvartalet.
In addition, the Commission can modify the rates at any time when unexpected situations make immediate action necessary. 
Dessutom kan kommissionen justera beloppen nr som helst, om ovntade situationer gr det ndvndigt att vidta omedelbara tgrder.
In other product sectors (e.g. cereals and sugar) exporters are invited to participate in a tendering procedure for the export refund rate and the quantity to be exported at the tendered rate. 
Inom andra produktomrden (t.ex. spannml och socker) erbjuds exportrerna att delta i anbudsfrfaranden som gller exportbidragssatsen och den kvantitet som skall exporteras med den bidragssats som faststllts genom anbudsfrfarandet.

This would not necessarily be a point of concern if adequate documentation were maintained of the facts, the CommissionŐs consideration of the facts, the decisions taken and the outcome. 
Detta vore inte ndvndigtvis en klla till oro om lmplig dokumentation fanns tillgnglig om fakta, den hnsyn kommissionen tagit till dessa fakta, de beslut som fattats och resultatet av dem.
Ń However, this is not the case and the consequences are serious for independent control by third parties and for management. 
Ń S r emellertid inte fallet och fljderna r allvarliga fr den oberoende kontroll som tredje part utfr och fr ledningen.
