It should be pointed out that funding for technical assistance, as well as covering traditional forms of technical assistance (management, monitoring, evaluation and control), also covers promotional and publicity measures and support for cooperation networks and information-sharing schemes. 
Det br framhllas att det fr tekniskt std, frutom de klassiska insatserna (frvaltning, vervakning, utvrdering och kontroll), ven freskrivs insatser fr offentlighet och informationsspridning kring projekt samt std till ntverk och informationsutbyte.
In the light of the objective and specific arguments advanced in point 43, the Commission believes that expenditure on technical assistance has generally been kept within reasonable limits. 
Mot bakgrund av de i punkt 43 ovan framfrda objektiva och samtidigt specifika argumenten, menar kommissionen att utgifterna fr tekniskt std hr ligger inom toleransmarginalen: i t.ex.
In Spain, for example, it accounted for 5 % of the total budget. 
Spanien utgr de 5 % av totalkostnaden.
Since this problem was partly due to the lack of a specific funding line for transnational information-exchange schemes, the Commission believes that, with the EUR 15 million now earmarked for suchschemesintheURBANIIinitiative(seepoint27),thesitu-ation is unlikely to recur. 
Denna brist beror p att det inte funnits ronmrkta medel fr transnationellt erfarenhetsutbyte. Kommissionen menar dock att den har skapat frutsttningar fr en varaktig frndring i och med att det i Urban II avsatts 15 miljoner euro fr detta syfte (se ven punkt 27).
It should be noted that the tasks referred to were introduced in an amendment to a more general contract (ERDF 96/00/29/ 010) governing technical assistance for URBAN pilot projects. 
Det br framhllas att de refererade uppgifterna avser ett till-lgg i ett strre avtal (ERUF 96/00/29/010) om tekniskt std fr pilotprojekt i stadsomrden.
ThepartsofthiscontractthatconcerntheURBANinitiativeare specified in points 2 and 4.1 of Annex II to this amendment. 
De delar som avser initiativet Urban terfinns i punkterna 2 och 4.1 i bilaga II till ovannmnda tillgg.
The respective funding allocations for the services in the financial statement of the amendment are EUR 125 775 for part 2 and EUR 8 700 for part 4.1. 
De medel som specificeras i tillggets ekonomiska ram uppgr till 125 775 euro fr del 2 och 8 700 euro fr del 4.1.
The Commission is satisfied with the technical assistance provided in this case and considers that the terms of the contract were fulfilled. 
Kommissionen anser att det tekniska stdet har varit tillfredsstllande och motsvarat avtalsvillkoren.

In its management and supervision of the URBAN initiative projects, the Commission will ensure that all the Structural Fund legislation is enforced. 
Vad gller frvaltning och kontroll av projekt inom gemenskapsinitiativet Urban avser kommissionen att se till att all lagstiftning om strukturfonderna efterlevs.
To this end, it will examine the CourtŐs findingsandtakethenecessaryaction. 
Den kommer drfr att granska revisionsrttens iakttagelser och vidta ndvndiga tgrder.
These situations will not recur under URBAN II. 
Detta r ngot som inte kan frekomma i Urban II.
What is more,withthepublicationoftheURBANIIhandbookinSep-tember 2000, the rules governing the development of programme proposals were tightened. 
Den handledning som framstlldes i september 2000 fr gemenskapsinitiativet Urban har ocks inneburit bttre anvisningar fr hur man skall utforma programfrslag.
Expenditure on infrastructure projects must now be completed in the eligible period (before the end of the payment period). 
Utgifter fr infrastrukturella projekt skall gras under den stdberttigande perioden (fre betalningsperiodens slut).
Only in duly justified cases can this period be extended. 
Denna period fr bara frlngas i mycket motiverade fall.
What is more, if they meet all the conditions and remain eligible for ERDF funding, some former URBAN I areas may receive funding from programmes adopted under URBAN II. 
Det r dock mjligt att framtida program inom det nya gemenskapsinitiativet Urban II kommer att innebra fler investeringar i tidigare omrden, frutsatt att de uppfyller alla villkor och fr ekonomiskt bidrag frn ERUF.
Nevertheless, in its management and supervision of the URBAN initiative projects, the Commission will ensure that all the Struc-turalFundlegislationisenforced.Tothisend,itwillexaminethe CourtŐsfindingsandtakethenecessaryaction. 
Vad gller frvaltning och kontroll av projekt inom gemenskapsinitiativet Urban avser kommissionen allts att se till att all lagstiftning om strukturfonderna efterlevs.
However, in some cases the areas were amended very slightly, either to correct errors that were detected or to ensure that the planned measures could be properly implemented. 
I vissa fall har man dock gjort smrre ndringar, antingen fr att rtta till upptckta fel eller fr att kunna genomfra de planerade insatserna p ett riktigt stt.
It is true that under the Len project a bridge was built outside of the eligible area. 
Projektet i Len innebar faktiskt att en bro byggdes utanfr det stdberttigade omrdet.
It should be pointed out, however, that the object of that project was to create a link to a neighbourhood that had previously been separated from the city by railway lines. 
Det br dock framhllas att projektets syfte var att integrera en stadsdel som genom jrnvgsspr var avskuren frn resten av staden.
This would constitute a waste of resources. 
Det vore ett slseri med resurser.
The Commission will examine the findings of the Court and takethenecessaryaction. 
Kommissionen kommer att granska revisionsrttens iakttagelser och vidta ndvndiga tgrder.
As regards the URBAN operational programme for Spain, no part-financing was used to fund housing improvement schemes. 
Betrffande det operativa programmet Urban Spanien har ingen samfinansiering skett av bostder.
On a more general level, it is quite correct that housing is excluded from financing under URBAN. 
Generellt r det dock riktigt att bostder inte fr finansieras genom Urban.
On the other hand, the Commission believes that it is not contradictory to include poor-quality housingasoneoftheobjectiveandindicativecriteriaforselect-ing neighbourhoods for financing (see also comments on points 11 to 16). 
Kommissionen menar dock att det inte r ologiskt att vid valet av mlomrden betrakta dliga bostder som ett av de objektiva och vgledande kriterierna (se ven kommentarerna till punkterna 11Đ16).
The Court correctly points out that the quantified objectives decided on for the last programming period had certain shortcomings. This hampered evaluation somewhat. 
Revisionsrtten har rtt i att det under den senaste programperioden funnits vissa brister i uppstllandet av kvantifierbara ml. Detta har frorsakat vissa utvrderingsproblem.
The Commission shares the view of the Court that several mid-term evaluations provided results that may be useful for improving (and in some cases establishing) systems of indicators. 
Kommissionen hller med revisionsrtten om att mnga utvrderingar efter halva tiden har gett nyttiga resultat som kan anvndas fr att utveckla indikatorsystemen.
These results can also be used for the new programming period. 
Resultaten av dessa utvrderingar kan ocks utnyttjas under den nya programperioden.
Where mid-term evaluations are behind schedule, this may, as the Court points out, interfere somewhat with the ex post evaluations, although the two types of evaluation have different objectives. 
Om utvrderingarna efter halva tiden frsenas kan de, som revisionsrtten ppekar, i viss mn pverka utvrderingarna i efterhand, trots att de har olika syften.
Drawing on the experience of the 1994 to 1999 period, Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 sets 31 December 2003 as the last pos-sibledateforsubmittingmid-termevaluationsforthe2000to 2006 programming period. 
Efter erfarenheterna frn perioden 1994Đ1999 faststlls det i frordning (EG) nr 1260/1999 att utvrderingarna efter halva tiden fr programperioden 2000Đ2006 skall vara inlmnade senast den 31 december 2003.
Based on a Commission proposal, Article 36(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 on the Structural Funds provides for the categorisation of fields of operation in the 2000 to 2006 programming period. 
P kommissionens frslag freskrivs det i artikel 36.1 i rdets frordning (EG) nr 1260/1999 om strukturfonderna att insatsomrdena under den nya programperioden 2000Đ2006 skall kate-goriindelas.
The Commission made a proposal to this effect in its methodological working paper ÔIndicators and their quantificationŐ and in one of the Annexes to the draft implementing Regulation (concerning Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/ 1999). 
Kommissionen har lagt fram ett konkret frslag i sitt metoddokument ÓIndikatorer och dessas kvantifieringÓ samt i en bilaga till utkastet till tillmpningsfrordning fr artikel 38 i frordning (EG) nr 1260/1999.
This approach will be employed by the Member States in their programming documents. 
Medlemsstaterna kommer att anvnda denna metod i sina programdokument.
The Commission expects the categorisation of operations and the prior assessments to provide more detailed feedback on the use and effects of the Structural Funds. 
Kommissionen frvntar sig att denna kategoriindelning och frhandsutvrderingarna skall ge mer detaljerad kunskap om strukturfondernas anvndning och effekter.
The real added value lies in basing urban regeneration on the creation of neighbourhood partnership networks and the involvement of local residents. While it is true that this approach is also possible under the general rules on Structural Fund measures, the Court recognises that the URBAN initiative has indeed played a role in giving local authorities access to Community part-financing. 
Urbans srskilda vrde bestr i att initiativets lokala partnerskap och invnarnas deltagande drigenom grs till det nav kring vilket man f igng en frnyelse av mlomrdena. Strukturfondernas generella regler utesluter frvisso inte denna metod och revisionsrtten erknner att Urban-initiativet har gjort det lttare fr lokala myndigheter att f medfinansiering frn gemenskapen.
This initiative could not hope to completely solve a major problem of contemporary society, i.e. the serious social and economic problems of neighbourhoods in many European cities, some of which could even be described as ghettos. Instead the object of the initiative was to provide finance for a number of flagship projects to demonstrate that, even in neighbourhoods of this type, a sense of hope can be instilled in local residents and the economy revived. 
Man kan inte frvnta sig att man med detta initiativ helt skall kunna tgrda det som r ett huvudproblem i dagens sam-hlle, nmligen krisdrabbade stadsdelar som i flera europeiska stder ibland r rena ÓgettonÓ. Initiativets syfte r att stdja ett antal exemplariska insatser som skall visa att det till och med i sdana stadsdelar r mjligt att ge invnarna nytt hopp och f igng en ekonomisk utveckling.
As regards the need to identify more clearly the objectives of the programmes adopted under URBAN II, the Commission will be taking a number of steps to promote effectiveness and simplification including the use of a standard set of funding priorities and a limited number of standard indicators. 
Fr bttre mldefinitioner nr Urban II-programmen antas kommer kommissionen att bland andra effektivitets-och frenklingstgrder ocks uppmuntra anvndningen av ett gemensamt antal huvudinriktningar och ett mindre antal generella indikatorer.

The eligible areas were selected on the basis of the rules laid down in the guidelines for the initiative and, more generally, in the Structural Fund Regulations. 
Valet av stdberttigade stadsomrden har gjorts enligt reglerna i initiativets riktlinjer och, mer allmnt, i strukturfondsfr-ordningarna.
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. 
Det freskrivs hr att de operativa programmen skall fresls av medlemsstaterna i samrd med de lokala myndigheterna och p ett fr respektive part lmpligt stt.
As regards URBAN II, the Court itself recognises that the Ôrespon-sibilities for the selection of eligible areas have been specified for the new periodŐ. 
Betrffande det nya initiativet Urban II erknner revisionsrtten ven att Ófr den nya perioden har ansvaret preciserats betrffande urvalet av stdberttigade omrdenÓ.
In the light of experience with URBAN I, in conceiving URBAN II a considerable effort has been made to improve the procedure for selecting eligible areas, mainly by establishing a set of nine standard indicators. 
Efter erfarenheterna frn Urban I har det nya initiativet Urban II speciellt skt frbttra frfarandet fr hur stdberttigade omrden vljs ut och dr nio generella indikatorer har lagts fast.
Each area selected 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 generella indikatorer.
The delays in the adoption of the programmes submitted in 1994 can be attributed in part to the unwieldy procedure for selecting the eligible areas and the detailed and substantial negotiations between the Commission and the Member States. 
Frseningarna i samband med godknnandet av de under 1994 inlmnade programmen kan frklaras med det tungrodda urvalsfrfarandet fr mottagaromrdena samt med de omfattande och ingende frhandlingarna mellan kommissionen och medlemsstaterna.
TheCommissionsharesthedesireoftheCourttomakeURBAN II as simple as possible, providing this does not prejudice the integrated approach which is its defining feature. 
Kommissionen vill precis som revisionsrtten frenkla det nya initiativet Urban II s mycket som mjligt, under frutsttning att detta inte drabbar dess frmsta knnetecken, nmligen den integrerade metoden.
It should be noted that one of the inherent difficulties with the URBAN initiative was linked to the key role that local authorities were called on to play, often for the first time, in both preparing and implementing the programmes. While it is true that this may have caused delays or inefficiency in some cases, these shortcomings are to a large extent compensated for by the experience gained by the authorities in the course of the URBAN initiative, which equips them to take a more active role in implementing the whole range of Structural Fund programmes in their regions. 
Det br ppekas att en fr initiativet Urban mycket knnetecknande svrighet har berott p att det ofta varit frsta gngen som de lokala myndigheterna har tvingats delta i bde frberedelsearbetet och genomfrandet av programmen. ven om detta i vissa fall kunnat leda till frseningar eller ineffektivitet, r det ocks s att denna olgenhet i vermtt har kompenserats av de erfarenheter som myndigheterna gjort genom Urban.
C 124/26 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 25.4.2001 Ńasinglestructureforallnewprogrammes, Ń a standard set of funding priorities and a limited number of standard indicators, Ń consistent, standardised evaluations. 
C 124/26 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning 25.4.2001 Ń Enhetlig struktur fr de nya programmen. Ń Ett gemensamt antal huvudinriktningar och ett mindre antal generella indikatorer. Ń Konsekventa och enhetliga programutvrderingar.
The Commission has also centralised all responsibility for scrutinising and managing all the new programmes in a single DG REGIO department. 
Kommissionen har ocks bestmt att samla all beredning och frvaltning av de nya programmen i en enda enhet p GD REGIO.
The Commission believes that the programmes adopted under the URBAN initiative are integrated with the other Community programmes, especially those part-financed by the Structural Funds, and with the other national urban regeneration programmes that exist in the Member States. 
Kommissionen anser att de program som antagits inom ramen fr Urban bde tar hnsyn till andra av strukturfonderna samfinansierade gemenskapsinsatser och andra insatser som p nationell niv grs fr stadsfrnyelse.
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 (point 18). 
Revisionsrtten erknner dock 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 (punkt 18).
In any event, the Commission is aware of this problem and has therefore arranged for all expenditure on urban renewal (i.e. spending on urban transport networks and investment in urban regeneration) made under the new Structural Funds programmes and URBAN II to be identified in the expenditure codification system. 
Kommissionen r i alla hndelser medveten om denna svrighet och har i de nya strukturfondsprogrammen, inbegripet det nya initiativet Urban II, drfr bestmt att systemet fr utgiftskontering skall avspegla vilka utgifter som avser stadsfrnyelse, t.ex. transporter och investeringar i upprustning.
The Commission also notes that dropping URBAN pilot projects from the innovative measures in the 2000 to 2006 period is in linewiththeCourtŐsrecommendationtoreducethenumberof specific assistance measures for cities already covered by the priority Objectives of the Structural Funds. 
Kommissionen noterar ocks att avbrytandet av stadspilotprojekt inom de innovativa tgrderna fr perioden 2000Đ2006 ligger i linje med revisionsrttens nskan att minska antalet stdkanaler fr stder som prioriteras av strukturfonderna.
The Commission acknowledges that there were a number of problems with the monitoring of the URBAN programmes. 
Kommissionen medger att vissa brister frekommit i samband med vervakningen av Urban-programmen.
These should now have been rectified in URBAN II (see point 69). 
De br dock kunna undvikas framver genom de tgrder som vidtagits inom ramen fr det nya initiativet Urban II (se kommentarerna till punkt 69).
It believes that these shortcomings have not prejudiced the monitoring of the programmes and that the monitoring system worked well. 
Trots dessa brister menar kommissionen att programvervakningen inte har drabbats utan genomfrts p ett normalt stt.
As the Court points out, the Urban Audit is an example of the CommissionŐs efforts to improve the quality of the comparative data on urban areas and it will be continued in collaboration with Eurostat. 
Som revisionsrtten mycket riktigt understryker r projektet Urban Audit ett exempel p kommissionens anstrngningar att hja kvaliteten p jmfrbar information om frhllandena i stderna. Samarbetet med Eurostat kommer hr att fortstta.
However, in most cases this took place at national level and thus did not always feature a genuine Community dimension. 
I flertalet fall har de dock begrnsat sig till nationella initiativ och har inte alltid haft den egentliga gemenskapskaraktren.
Since this problem was partly due to the lack of a specific funding line for transnational information-exchange schemes, the Commission believes that, with the EUR 15 million now earmarked for such schemes in the URBAN II initiative (see point 27 above), the situation is unlikely to recur. 
Denna brist beror p att det inte funnits ronmrkta medel fr transnationellt erfarenhetsutbyte. Kommissionen menar dock att den har skapat frutsttningar fr en varaktig frndring i och med att det i Urban II avsatts 15 miljoner euro fr detta syfte.
Inthelightoftheabovecomments,theCommissionbelieves that the conditions have been created for URBAN II to fully realise its potential to add value while at the same time being more effec-tiveandsimpler. 
Mot bakgrund av dessa kommentarer anser kommissionen att det nya initiativet Urban II har alla frutsttningar att demonstrera sitt srskilda vrde och samtidigt bidra till kad effektivitet och frenkling.
The Commission shares the view of the Court regarding the goals of simplifying and improving management, monitoring and evalu-ationthataresetoutinthenewRegulationsforthe2000to 2006 period. It also agrees with the Court that the new programming period gives us the ideal opportunity to introduce such much-needed measures. 
Kommissionen delar revisionsrttens sikt att mlet med det nya regelverket fr perioden 2000Đ2006 r att frenkla och frbttra frvaltning, vervakning och utvrdering. Den delar ocks revisionsrttens sikt om att det nu r ndvndigt och mjligt att till-lmpa dessa regler.
