The CourtŐs main findings concerning the implementation of URBAN are similar to those already expressed in previous inquiries on Structural Funds measures, and the Community initiatives in particular. 
Revisionsrttens viktigaste iakttagelser om genomfrandet av Urban-programmen liknar dem som kommit till uttryck i tidigare underskningar av strukturfondernas verksamhet och srskilt av gemenskapsinitiativen.
The new regulations and the start of the 2000 to 2006 programming period represent a fresh opportunity fortheCommissionandtheMemberStatestointroducetangible initiatives rapidly, with the aim of simplifying and improving the programming, management, monitoring and evaluation of structural actions.

Den ursprungliga frdelningen p 600 miljoner euro (400 miljoner euro till regioner som omfattas av ml 1 och 200 miljoner till vriga) gav fljande resultat: K(94) 1818, juli 1994 miljoner euro (1994 rs priser) B DK D EL E F IRL I L NL P UK Totalt 10,5 1,5 96,8 45,2 130,4 55 15,5 115,3 0,5 9,9 43,7 75,6 600 2.
According to the Commission, the principal criterion for the allocation of these resources was the population concerned by Objectives 1, 2 or 5b, but some adjustments were made (increments in favour of Spain and the United Kingdom and deductions in the case of France, Germany and Italy). 
Det frsta kriteriet fr frdelning av dessa medel utgjordes, enligt kommissionen, av den befolkning som omfattades av ml 1, 2 och 5b, men justeringar gjordes (tillgg fr Spanien och Frenade kungariket och avdrag fr Frankrike, Tyskland och Italien).
Following the apportionment of the 600 million euro, further adjustments were made for Spain (30 million euro), the United Kingdom (21,6 million euro) and the Netherlands (Đ 0,7 million euro). 
Efter frdelningen av 600 miljoner euro gjordes ytterligare justeringar fr Spanien (30 miljoner euro), Frenade kungariket (21,6 miljoner euro) och Nederlnderna (Đ0,7 miljoner euro).
After the transfer of the Textile Portugal programme to heading 3 of the financial perspective, a further adjustment of 50 million euro was made in favour of Spain. 
Efter verfringen av programmet Textil Portugal till rubrik 3 i budgetplanen gjordes en ny justering med 50 miljoner euro till frmn fr Spanien.

Following the sixth meeting of the Management Committee for Community initiatives on 22 September 1998, the Commission approved a change to the allocations concerning the various Community initiatives on 16 December 1998. 
Efter att frvaltningskommittn fr gemenskapsinitiativ hllit sitt sjtte mte den 22 september 1998 godknde kommissionen den 16 december 1998 en ndring av frdelningen p de olika gemenskapsinitiativen.
As regards URBAN, the adjustments decided upon amounted to Đ 18,7 million euro (Đ 2,6 for France; Đ 7,4 for Greece; Đ 3,2 for Italy; Đ 0,2 for Luxembourg and Đ 5,3 for the United Kingdom). 
Fr Urbans del uppgick de beslutade justeringarna till Đ18,7 miljoner euro (Frankrike Đ2,6, Grekland Đ7,4, Italien Đ3,2, Luxemburg Đ0,2 och Frenade kungariket Đ5,3).
Since these were funds that had already been programmed, notably for national OPs, the new allocations could not be reprogrammed in their entirety unless the Member States concerned gave their agreement to the reductions in funding, which is far from being the case. 
Eftersom det handlade om medel som redan avsatts fr olika tgrder, framfrallt i de nationella operativa programmen, kan de frndrade anslagen inte omfrdelas i sin helhet om inte de berrda medlemsstaterna samtycker till snkta anslag, vilket man inte kan utg ifrn.
Moreover, the table of allocations per Member State and per initiative, which was the subject of the CommissionŐs Decision, is expressed in million euro and has thus been rounded. 
Dessutom r tabellen ver frdelningen per medlemsstat och initiativ, som utgjorde mnet fr kommissionens beslut, uttryckt i miljoner euro och fljaktligen avrundad.
On 29 March 1999, the Italian Republic brought an action (C 107/99) against the Commission for annulment of the Decision of 16 December 1998 concerning the allocations. 
Ett verklagande (C 107/99) gjordes den 29 mars 1999 av Republiken Italien mot kommissionen fr att beslutet av den 16 december 1998 om tillgg skulle upphvas.
The application for suspension of enforcement of that decision formed the subject of a summary procedure before the President of the Court of Justice on 29 June 1999. 
Begran om uppskov med verkstlligheten av detta beslut var freml fr interimistiska tgrder av ordfranden i EG-domstolen den 29 juni 1999.
Some of the evidence submitted during this summary procedure and the necessity of waiting for the Court judgment created fresh uncertainty about the definitive apportionment of the allocations of resources for Community initiatives. 
Vissa avsnitt som lades fram i detta interimsbeslut och ndvndigheten av att avvakta domstolens dom leder till ytterligare oskerhet betrffande den slutliga frdelningen av resurser frn gemenskapsinitiativen.
The final result, at 1999 values, taking into account the various adjustments mentioned above, is as follows: Mio EUR (1999 values) B DK D EL E F IRL I L NL P UK A FIN S Total Objectives 1 and 6 13 86 45 194 9 21 107 51 39 4 570 Non-Objectives 1 6 2 32 53 72 29 0 23 86 14 4 5 327 and 6 Grand total 897 10.

The last months, and even the final weeks, of 1999 saw a considerable reorganisation of Community initiatives on the CommissionŐs decision. 
Under de sista mnaderna av 1999, eller snarare de sista veckorna, genomfrdes efter beslut av kommissionen flera omfrdelningar mellan gemenskapsinitiativen.
Transfers were made to the URBAN initiative from other initiatives and the allocations provided for URBAN were reduced in favour of other programmes. 
Man genomfrde verfringar till Urban frn andra initiativ, samtidigt som anslag avsedda fr Urban minskades till frmn fr andra program.

C 124/18 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 25.4.2001 INLEDNING 3.
TheCommissionwouldpointoutthatthescopeandobject-ives of the Community initiative URBAN I are defined in the guidelines. 
Kommissionen anser att omfattningen och syftet med gemenskapsinitiativet Urban I anges i dess riktlinjer (1).
(1) The initiative is intended to support a number of flagship schemes designed to show that, even in neighbourhoods considered to have intrinsic structural problems, a sense of hope can be instilled in local residents and the economy revived. 
Initiativets syfte var fljande: att genom std till ett antal exemplariska insatser visa att det i stadsdelar som vanligen anses som krisdrabbade finns en mjlighet att ge invnarna nytt hopp och ter f igng en ekonomisk utveckling.
Instead the aim was to help the authorities responsible for these areas to create a climate conducive to investment and a sense of confidence and security for the local residents by reintegrating them into the economic and social mainstream. 
Det skall stdja de ansvariga myndigheterna i deras anstrngningar att inrtta strukturer fr att f igng ekonomisk verksamhet, att skapa ett frtroendeklimat och en trygghet bland invnarna i de berrda regionerna, samtidigt som de integreras i det normala ekonomiska och sociala livet.
Clearly, therefore, URBAN I is fully in line with the principles of subsidiarity and cohesion. 
Urban I faller allts helt inom ramen fr subsidiaritet och sammanhllning.
ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL SITUATION 6. 
F RDELNING AV RESURSER OCH EKONOMISK STLLNING 6.
The task of allocating Structural Fund assistance to Objectives, Community initiatives and Member States posed considerable technical and political hurdles and the Commission believes it handled the operation effectively and in accordance with the Regulations. 
Strukturfondernas frdelning av anslagen mellan prioriterade ml, gemenskapsinitiativ och medlemsstaterna har inneburit en teknisk och politisk insats av betydande omfattning, som kommissionen anser sig ha genomfrt vl och inom frordningarnas ramar.
The process was carried out on the basis of objective criteria, supplemented by input from negotiations with the Member States. 
Frdelningen har baserats p objektiva kriterier, men en del har ocks frhandlats fram med medlemsstaterna.
Overall,theinitiativewasresponsibleforsomeEUR1800mil-lion worth of investment benefiting 3,2 million people (equivalent to EUR 560 per head of population in the communities covered Ń similar to the ratio achieved by the Objective 2 programmes). 
Totalt har gemenskapsinitiativet Urban inneburit investeringar p cirka 1 800 miljoner euro fr 3,2 miljoner invnare (560 euro per capita, vilket motsvarar insatserna i samband med ml 2-programmen).
9. Any changes to the financing plans for the programmes are subject to the financial management rules annexed to each programme. 
9. ndringarna av programmens finansieringsplaner sker i enlighet med finansiella tillmpningsbestmmelser som bifogas strukturfondsprogrammen.
Point 18 of these rules states that, ÔIn the event of (1) See points 3 to 8 of the guidelines. amendmentstothefinancingplanwhichareoutsidethecompe-tence of the Monitoring Committee, the amounts entered in the amended financing plan under previous years must correspond to actual expenditure in these years, as certified and set out in the annual reports on implementationŐ. 
I punkt 18 i dessa faststlls att ÓVid en nd-(1) Se punkterna 3Đ8 i riktlinjerna. ring av finansieringsplanen som verskrider vervakningskommitternas befogenheter, skall tidigare rs belopp i den ndrade finansieringsplanen motsvara dessa rs faktiska utgifter, som de frelggs eller fretes i intyg och i genomfranderapporternaÓ.
For the years following an amendment, the financing plan is a projection and must keep to the implementation timetable. 
Fr ren efter ndringen utgr finansieringsplanen en prognos och r en del av det tidsmssigt begrnsade genomfrandet.
As regards the programmes for which funding is committed in annual instalments, the Commission has, in accordance with the implementing rules and procedures, amended the decisions on the programmes to adapt them to the realities of implementation and thus ensure that all the funding is committed as planned. 
Vad gller program som godknns rsvis har kommissionen i enlighet med regler och tillmpningsfrfaranden ndrat besluten om dessa, fr att drigenom kunna anpassa dem till den reella genomfrandesituationen och skerstlla att samtliga anslagna medel tas i ansprk som planerat.
The Commission issued instructions to the Member States to the effect that they avoid as much as possible transferring resources between Funds where this involved adjustments to the Community accounts. 
Kommissionen gav anvisningar till medlemsstaterna fr att i mjligaste mn undvika att anslagsverfringar mellan fonderna medfrde korrigeringsverfringar i gemenskapens rkenskaper.
Where such transfers proved unavoidable, the Member States were instructed to give the Commission sufficient notice (i.e. no later than 31 July 1999) to be able to enter them in its accounts before the year end. 
Behvdes sdana skulle de rapporteras i tillrckligt god tid (senast den 31 juli 1999) s att kommissionen kunde bokfra dem fre rets slut.
These instructions expressly stated that all proposed amendments involving reductions in commitments and payments were inadmissible. 
I dessa anvisningar angavs det uttryckligen att ndringsfrslag inte skulle tilltas om de innebar snkta taganden och utbetalningar.
However, in exceptional cases for very special reasons, exceptions to this rule were permitted. 
Emellertid har det i exceptionella fall tilltits undantag frn denna regel.
For example, for programmes where the final instalment of funding (for 1999) had been committed in 1998, or for certain programmes where all the funding was committed in a single instalment. 
Till exempel har undantag gjorts fr program dr tagandet fr sista etappen (1999) gjordes 1998 eller fr vissa program som innebr endast ett tagande.
The Commission would point out that the discrepancies highlighted by the Court in the Commission accounts for year end 1999 are simply a reflection of certain temporary circumstances likely to occur at any point of the financial year and which can be rectified by adjusting the accounts once the programme amendment procedures have been completed. 
Kommissionen vill framhlla att de differenser i rkenskaperna som revisionsrtten ptalar fr slutet av budgetret 1999 bara r tillflligheter som kan upptrda nr som helst under budgetgenomfrandet och som justeras, sedan programndringarna vl slutfrts.
This was the purpose of the adjustments, decommitments and recoveries carried out in 2000 (based on decisions adopted towards the end of 1999), in response to the downward revision of contributions from one of theparticipatingFunds. 
Till fljd av beslut som fattats under 1999 har det under 2000 gjorts vissa justeringar, frigranden av anslag eller indrivningar fr att anpassa vissa program sedan bidraget frn en av de deltagande fonderna minskats.
The process used to select urban areas for funding was in keeping both with the arrangements laid down in the guidelines for the initiative and, more generally, with the Structural Fund Regulations. 
URVAL AV ST DBERTTIGADE STADSOMRDEN 11Đ16. Valet av stdberttigade stadsomrden har gjorts enligt reglerna i initiativets riktlinjer och, mer allmnt, i strukturfonds-frordningarna.
Under these arrangements, the proposals for the operational programmes were to be made jointly by the Member States and the local authorities, working together and each in accordance with the relevant procedures. THE COMMISSIONŐS REPLIES 
Enligt dessa regler skall de operativa programmen fresls av medlemsstaterna, i samrd med lokala myndigheter och p ett fr respektive part lmpligt stt. KOMMISSIONENS SVAR
25.4.2001 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 124/19 TheMemberStateswererequiredtoputforwardtheirshortlists of areas for the URBAN initiative, based on the criteria suggested by the Commission (high unemployment, decaying infrastruc-ture,poorhousingstock,lackofsocialamenities,etc.(1))andtak- ing account of their domestic situation, in particular the existence of any other national urban regeneration programmes. 
25.4.2001 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 124/19 Det r i praktiken medlemsstaterna som skall ange vilka omrden som skall prioriteras i samband med initiativet Urban, med hnsyn till bde den faktiska situationen i respektive land och till de av kommissionen freslagna kriterierna (hg arbetslshet, nedsliten stadsstruktur, dliga boendefrhllanden, brist p social infrastruktur) (1).
For these reasons, the idea of consulting a group of experts on the final choice of areas (see point 12 of the report) was dropped and is not in the final guidelines for URBAN adopted by the Commis-sionon15June1994. 
Revisionsrtten tar i punkt 12 i rapportfrslaget upp mjligheten att anlita en expertgrupp fr yttrande om det slutgiltiga urvalet.
Each selected area will now have to be justified by reference to at least three of these indicators. 
Varje val av omrde mste kunna motiveras med tminstone tre av dessa gemensamma indikatorer.
The lack of statistical data referred to by the Court under point 15 is an undeniable problem that cannot be remedied in the short term. 
Den brist p statistik som revisionsrtten nmner i punkt 15 r ngot som inte kan frnekas men som samtidigt inte kan lsas p kort sikt.
This will require the Commission to sit down together with theMemberStateandlookattherealsituationintheareascon-cerned, where necessary basing their assessment on qualitative factors and/or other indicators. 
Detta krver att man tillsammans med medlemsstaterna tittar p de reella frhllandena i berrda omrden och vid behov ocks utgr frn kvalitativa aspekter och/eller ytterligare indikatorer.
PROGRAMMING The integrated approach 18. 
Programplanering INTEGRERAD METOD 18.
None of the Member States took up the option of backing up the projects in the selected urban areas with more ambitious overall strategies addressing the urban environment as a whole. (1) See point 10 of the guidelines. 
Medlemsstaterna har faktiskt inte begrt att man skall kunna komplettera insatserna i de utvalda stadsomrdena med mer ambitisa och vergripande strategier fr omrdena som helhet. (1) Se punkt 10 i riktlinjerna Kommissionen anser att detta beror p komplexiteten i stadspla-neringens institutioner och lagstiftning.
The Court does however recognise that, for a number of local authorities, URBAN was the first opportunity to become involved in programming and implementing a coordinated package of diverse measures in certain areas of their cities. 
Revisionsrtten hller dock med om att Urban har gjort det mjligt fr flera lokala myndigheter att fr frsta gngen utarbeta och p ett koordinerat stt genomfra olika tgrder i ett stadsomrde.
As regards the submission of the new URBAN II programmes, the Commission will be encouraging the cities to employ a uniform structure for their programmes, in so far as is possible. 
Fr frslag p nya Urban II-program kommer kommissionen att uppmuntra stderna att i mjligaste mn flja samma programstruktur.
The Commission does not share the view that the programmes ought to have been targeted exclusively on the core problem(s). 
Kommissionen anser inte att programmen borde ha begrnsats till det strsta problemet/de strsta problemen.
While it is true that the problems experienced by the different areas vary in seriousness, they generally all have broadly similar socioeconomic consequences: economic decline, a deterioration in transport networks and the environment, insecurity for local residents, etc. 
De fr dock i allmnhet relativt snarlika socioekonomiska konsekvenser: ekonomisk stagnation, frsmrade transporter och smre milj, otrygghet osv. Det srskilda vrdet med Urban r den integrerade metoden som gr att man kan ta hnsyn till att problematiken omfattar flera sektorer.
The Court reports that the managers of the schemes on the ground would have preferred simpler programmes, where possible financed from a single Fund only (either the ERDF or the ESF). 
Revisionsrtten hvdar att handlggarna p plats skulle fredragit enklare program och enfondsprogram (ERUF eller ESF). Visserligen kan man instmma i det senare, vilket beaktats i Urban II som fortsttningsvis bara kommer att finansieras genom ERUF.
While it shares this view, which has been incorporated into the new URBAN II initiative (which will be financed solely from the ERDF), and agrees that the management of the programmes shouldbesimplified,theCommissionisagainstoversimplifying theinitiativetothedetrimentofthevalueaddedbyitsintegrated strategy, as explained below and in points 31 and 32. 
Frvisso borde frvaltningen ocks p olika stt kunna frenklas. Trots detta anser kommissionen att Urban inte br frenklas s att det inkrktar p dess srskilda vrde, ngot som frklaras i det fljande och i kommentarerna till punkterna 31 och 32.
It should not be forgotten that of the 118 cities covered by URBAN, only 20 or so were not covered by one of the Structural Fund Objectives, with the rest in Objective 1, 2 or 6 areas. 
Det br nmnas att av de 118 stder som omfattas av Urban, r det bara ett tjugotal som inte ingr i ett ÓmlomrdeÓ. Alla vriga omfattas av ml 1, 2 eller 6.
