In Bavaria, the Court’s auditors found that only a few farmers participating in the KULAP programme changed their practices in order to satisfy programme eligibility criteria. 
I Bayern fann revisionsrttens revisorer att bara ett ftal av de jordbrukare som deltog i Kulap-programmet ndrade sina metoder fr att uppfylla programkriterierna.
The others were supported for their normal, existing extensive and environmentally beneficial farming practices. The aid could be justified only if these practices were threatened by discontinuation (i.e. either intensification or abandonment). However most farmers audited declared they would continue with these same practices, even if aid were discontinued. 
Resten fick std fr sina normala, redan befintliga extensiva och miljvnliga metoder. De enda frhllanden som skulle kunna berttiga stdet vore att metodernas fortlevnad var hotad (dvs. av antingen intensifiering eller nedlggning), men de flesta av de jordbrukare som var freml fr revisionen frklarade att de skulle fortstta att anvnda samma metoder ven om de inte lngre skulle f std.
Furthermore, the official Bavarian evaluation found that most participants in some measures were farmers already practising these methods, and that there was minimal difference in the environmental performance of participating and non-participating farmers. 
Dessutom kom man i den officiella bayerska utvrderingen fram till att majoriteten av deltagarna i vissa tgrder var jordbrukare som redan anvnde metoderna i frga, liksom att skillnaden i miljprestanda mellan de deltagande och de icke deltagande jordbrukarna var minimal.
In Baden-Württemberg (Germany), the MEKA programme does not adequately address some severe local environmental problems caused by intensive practices, for example pesticide and fertiliser pollution in Kaiserstuhl, Kraichgau and south of Stuttgart. 
Programmet Meka i Baden-Wrttemberg (Tyskland) innehller inte tillrckliga tgrder mot vissa allvarliga lokala miljproblem som orsakats av intensiva metoder, t.ex. bekmpnings-och gdningsmedelsfrorening i Kaiserstuhl, Kraichgau och sder om Stuttgart.
In France, the allocation of funds between regions was based on purely agronomic criteria, i.e. the number of farmers and hectarage of each region, with no reference to environmental problems or risks. 
I Frankrike byggde frdelningen av medlen mellan regionerna p rent jordbruksmssiga kriterier, dvs. antalet jordbrukare och hektar i varje region, utan att ngon hnsyn togs till miljproblem eller miljrisker.
In Italy, although environmental priorities were initially important in the regional allocation of funds, this approach was subsequently abandoned in favour of a demand-led approach, i.e. the regions which spent most received the greatest budget in the following year. 
I Italien spelade miljprioriteringarna visserligen en framtrdande roll vid frdelningen av medlen mellan regionerna, men senare vergick man till efterfrgestyrning Đ dvs. de regioner som anvnde mest pengar ett r fick strst anslag ret efter.
In Sicily, although the regional programme identifies the localities of highest environmental priority, aid distribution is indiscriminate across the region. 
Nr det gller Sicilien anges det frvisso i det regionala programmet vilka omrden som har hgst miljprioritet, men stdtilldelningen r densamma ver hela regionen.
Furthermore, the main AE problems relate to water management and soil erosion; but instead of addressing these problems directly, the programme encourages organic production, for which there is no outlet, and reduction of chemical inputs. 
De viktigaste problemen med anknytning till miljprogrammen fr jordbruket rr dessutom markerosion och frvaltningen av vattenresurserna, men i stllet fr en direkt satsning p att lsa dessa problem uppmuntrar det sicilianska programmet till ekologisk produktion, fr vilken det saknas avsttningsmjligheter, och minskad anvndning av kemikalier.
In Finland, although the main agricultural pollution problems identified by the programme are concentrated in the south-west of Finland, only 20 % of total expenditure is devoted to this region. 
I Finland r det i sydvstra delen av landet som de huvudsakliga problemen med jordbrukets frorening finns, enligt programmet, men nd r det bara 20 % av de sammanlagda medlen som ansls till den regionen.
Furthermore, the Finnish programme even allowed farmers in certain circumstances to apply more fertiliser than the economic optimum. 
Dessutom medgav det finska programmet att jordbrukarna under vissa frhllanden anvnde mer gdningsmedel n vad som r ekonomiskt optimalt.
In Portugal, a key national problem is salinisation of fresh groundwater reserves. 
I Portugal r frsaltning av grundvattenreserverna ett stort nationellt problem.
Ingress of seawater occurs because too much groundwater is being extracted for use by agriculture. 
Havsvatten trnger in i grundvattnet eftersom jordbruket tar ut fr mycket grundvatten.
This problem is not addressed by the programme. 
Detta problem tas emellertid inte upp i programmet.
Furthermore, only farmers with less than 50 ha and/or 50 LUs are eligible for AE aid. 
Dessutom r det bara jordbrukare med mindre n 50 hektar eller 50 djurenheter som kan f std genom programmet.
In Spain, the national measure combating soil erosion, one of Spain’s two biggest AE problem, was not implemented during the first two years of programme operation, due to a lack of national funds available for co-financing. 
I Spanien genomfrdes inte den nationella tgrden avseende markerosion Đ ett av de tv strsta miljproblemen med anknytning till det spanska jordbruket Đ under programmets tv frsta r eftersom det saknades nationella medel fr medfinansiering.
In Austria, there was a provincial allocation of funds but the national authorities could not provide the Court with evidence to support it. 
I sterrike skall det finnas en frdelning mellan delstaterna av medlen, men de nationella myndigheterna kunde inte frse revisionsrtten med material som bevisade detta.
Indeed, the high density allowed by the programme motivated existing extensive producers to intensify their production in order to exhaust the possibility for aid. 
Den hga djurtthet som programmet medgav uppmuntrade i sjlva verket de jordbrukare som gnade sig t extensiv uppfdning att intensifiera sin produktion fr att kunna utnyttja stdmjligheterna fullt ut.
AE measures have thus only slightly reduced the Austrian stock numbers (0,1 %). 
Miljprogrammet fr jordbruket i sterrike har drfr bara kunnat stadkomma en minimal minskning av djurbesttningarna i landet (med 0,1 %).
Moreover, in this Member State only a limited number of farmers had to change their normal practices to satisfy the programme. 
Dessutom behvde bara ett begrnsat antal jordbrukare i sterrike ndra sina normala metoder fr att uppfylla programvillkoren.
In Sweden, the National Audit Office concluded in its report that ‘the environmental effects of the grants are much smaller than they would have been if there had been a greater focus on, for example, the counties of Skåne or Halland where there is extensive nitrogen leakage’. 
I Sverige drog Riksrevisionsverket i en rapport slutsatsen att Ómiljeffekterna av detta miljstd r fr nrvarande avsevrt mindre jmfrt med om det i hgre grad styrts till t.ex. Skne och Hallands ln som har omfattande kvve-lckageÓ.
In the United Kingdom, the National Audit Office pointed out that there is better scope for targeting of aids within programme zones and for giving a higher priority to the support of environmentally friendly arable techniques. 
I Frenade kungariket ppekade det nationella revisionsorganet (National Audit Office) att det finns mer utrymme fr inriktning av stdet inom programomrden och fr hgre prioritet till stdet fr miljvnliga odlingsmetoder.

The EEA has noted in respect of AF, that ‘in many cases, fast-growing species, including exotic species, have been used, often at the expense of habitats of high biodiversity value’ (1). 
Nr det gller beskogningsprogrammen har miljbyrn konstaterat att man i mnga fall anvnder snabbvxande, ven exotiska arter, ofta p bekostnad av vrdefulla biotoper med stor biologisk mngfald (1).
An Irish study found that ‘It is generally thought that planting trees is good for the environment... . However, in Ireland, where planting consists of predominantly commercial forests, 80 % of which are non-indigenous conifers, there is considerable concern regarding the external costs of afforestation (costs which are borne by people other than the forest owner). 
I Irland, dr man i huvudsak planterar kommersiell skog, varav 80 % r icke-inhemska barrtrd, finns det emellertid stark oro ver de externa kostnaderna fr beskogningen (dvs. kostnader som drabbar ngon annan n skogsgaren).
Of particular concern are the potential negative effects of forestry on landscape, water and wildlife’ (2). 
Srskilt oroar man sig fr skogsbrukets eventuella negativa konsekvenser fr landskapsbilden, vattendragen och djur-och vxtlivetÓ (2).
Poor prioritisation of environmental needs is also evident in Spain, Austria, Germany, Portugal and Italy (see Text box 2). 
Miljbehoven har heller inte prioriterats p lmpligt stt i Spanien, sterrike, Tyskland, Portugal och Italien (se textruta 2).
Text box 2 In Spain, the national AF programme identifies among its primary objectives the combating of soil erosion and desertification, but the criteria for regional and local distribution of funds give priority to agricultural and commercial factors rather than environmental requirements. 
Textruta 2 Fr Spaniens del anges frhindrande av markerosion och kenspridning som ett av huvudmlen i det nationella beskogningsprogrammet, men i kriterierna fr frdelningen av medlen p regional och lokal niv r det snarare jordbruksrelaterade och kommersiella faktorer n miljkrav som dominerar.
While environment agency officials recommended a mixed plantation of different varieties of oak trees (95 % quercus rotundifolia, with only 5 % quercus suber), the agricultural authorities approved a single-variety plantation with 100 % quercus suber. 
Tjnstemnnen vid miljmyndigheten hade rekommenderat blandbestnd med olika varieteter av ek (95 % Quercus rotundifolia och endast 5 procent Q. suber), men jordbruksmyndigheterna hade godknt ett bestnd bestende av bara en varietet, nmligen Q. suber.
In Austria, the Commission-approved programme foresees that 70 % of the total aid paid for ‘afforestation’, is actually paid to support the construction of forest tracks; ECU 37 million from a budget of ECU 53 million for 1995 to 1997 (3). Although forest track building has been defended by the Member State authorities on grounds that it allows better care of woodland and environment-friendly felling and removal of trees, the proportion of the AF budget spent on this activity is high. 
I sterrike innebr det program som kommissionen godknt att 70 % av det totala stdet till ÓbeskogningÓ i sjlva verket utbetalas till std fr byggande av skogsvgar: 37 miljoner ecu av en budget p 53 miljoner ecu fr 1995Đ1997(3).Visserligenharmedlemsstatensmyndigheterfrsvaratdettamedargumentetattflerochbttreskogs-vgar mjliggr en bttre skogsvrd och ett mer miljvnligt skogsbruk, men det r en stor andel av beskognings-budgeten som anvnds till detta.
Furthermore the EEA notes that even narrow non-asphalted service tracks may lead to fragmentation of habitats and easier access to previously remote areas, with long-term implications for the integrity of the ecosystems (4). 
Miljbyrn konstaterar att ven smala vgar utan asfalt kan orsaka fragmentering av livsmiljer och gra det lttare att komma till omrden som tidigare var otillgngliga, med konsekvenser p lng sikt fr ekosystemens integritet (4).
In Germany (Bavaria), the Court’s auditors found that track construction had increased the accessibility of hitherto-remote high alpine forest. 
I Tyskland (Bayern) fann revisionsrttens revisorer att vgbyggen hade gjort det lttare att komma till hga alpskogar som hittills varit otillgngliga.
In Portugal, some beneficiaries visited by the Court’s auditors were found to have uprooted mature trees, in order to qualify for new plantation aid. 
I Portugal fann revisionsrttens revisorer vid sina besk att vissa av bidragsmottagarna hade rjt mogna trd fr att bli berttigade till bidrag fr nyplantering.
This caused soil erosion, a problem exacerbated by excessive soil disturbance during the planting of the new trees. 
Detta ledde till markerosion, som dessutom frvrrades av att marken bearbetades alltfr hrt d de nya trden planterades.
In Italy, at regional level only 0,001 % of Emilia-Romagna’s farmland has been afforested, and this with tree species chosen for their commercial rather than environmental value. 
I den italienska regionen Emilia-Romagna har bara 0,001 % av jordbruksmarken beskogats, och dessutom med trdarter som valts p grund av sitt handelsvrde snarare n miljvrde.
In Castile-La Mancha (Spain), where the programme aims to reduce water use, the use of water was already restricted by national law before the introduction of AE measures, whereby large farms got less access rights to water per hectare than small farms. 
I Castilla-La Mancha (Spanien) dr programmets ml var att minska vattenfrbrukningen, var vattenfrbrukningen begrnsad av nationell lag redan innan miljprogrammen fr jordbruket inleddes, enligt vilken stora anlggningar har tillgng till mindre vatten per hektar n sm.
The AE programme introduced the regional average pre-programme water consumption per hectare as a baseline for measuring the individual reduction in water consumption. 
I miljprogrammet fr jordbruket anvndes den regionala genomsnittsfrbrukningen per hektar under perioden innan programmet inleddes som underlag fr att mta den enskildes minskning av vattenfrbrukningen.
Farmers are compensated if they commit themselves to using 50 %, 70 % or 100 % less water than the regional average consumption of water per hectare in the pre-programme period. 
Jordbrukarna fr kompensation om de tar sig att frbruka 50, 70 eller 100 % mindre vatten per hektar n den regionala genomsnittsfrbrukningen under perioden innan programmet inleddes.
In addition, they are exempted from the water-use restrictions under national law. 
De fr dessutom undantag frn de begrnsningar av vattenfrbrukningen som gller enligt nationell lag.

Such a programme is attractive to farmers whose water consumption and/or access rights are already lower than the regional averages. 
Ett sdant program r attraktivt fr jordbrukare vilkas vattenfrbrukning och/eller rttigheter avseende tillgng till vatten redan r lgre n det regionala genomsnittet.
These farmers can qualify for the 50 %, 70 % or 100 % reduction schemes even though they reduce their actual water consumption by less than 50 %, 70 % or 100 % respectively. 
Dessa jordbrukare kan f delta i tgrder fr minskning med 50, 70 eller 100 % ven om de minskar sin vattenfrbrukning med mindre n 50, 70 respektive 100 %.
Indeed, farmers whose previous water consumption/rights were below the 50 % or 70 % of the regional average are even able to increase their actual water consumption, and get aid as well. The scheme is also attractive to farmers who have no water or access rights at all. 
Jordbrukare vilkas tidigare vattenfrbrukning/ vattenrttigheter lg under 50 eller 70 % av det regionala genomsnittet kan till och med ka sin faktiska vattenfrbrukning, och dessutom f std. tgrden r ven attraktiv fr jordbrukare som inte har ngot vatten eller ngra tillgngsrttigheter alls.
A local study in Castile-La Mancha found the perverse situation that most of the 570 holdings in receipt of AE aid for agreeing to use no irrigation had no access to irrigation in any event. 
En lokal studie i Castilla-La Mancha visade den orimliga situationen att av de flesta av de 570 jordbruksfretag som erhll std inom miljprogrammet mot att de gick med p att inte vattna nd inte hade konstbevattningsmjligheter.
In the opposite case, small farmers with substantial access rights and correspondingly high water consumption already, would find the AE scheme unattractive, because the aid is insufficient to compensate them for lost yield. 
I det motsatta fallet, nr det gller sm jordbrukare som har betydande tillgng till vatten och fljaktligen en hg vattenfrbrukning skulle tgrden inom miljprogrammet fr jordbruket vara ointressant eftersom stdet inte r tillrckligt fr att kompensera dem fr frlorade skrdar.
A further problem was noted by the Court in Castile-La Mancha. 
Revisionsrtten fann ytterligare ett problem i Castilla-La Mancha.
Aid is being paid in respect of set-aside land, even though programme conditions regarding set-aside land are no more onerous than those already required by the arable crops scheme. 
Std betalas ut fr uttagen areal trots att programmets villkor fr uttagen areal inte r hrdare n de som redan gller fr ordningen fr jordbruksgrdor.
It follows from Commission Regulation (EC) No 746/96, Article 10(1) that payment of AE aid in such circumstances is irregular. 
Det framgr av artikel 10.1 i kommissionens frordning (EG) nr 746/96 att det r fel att betala ut std fr miljtgrder i jordbruket under dessa omstndigheter.
Given that set-aside constitutes around 30 % of programme hectarage, this represents a grave waste of Community funds. 
Mot bakgrund av att arealuttaget motsvarar ungefr 30 % av programmets areal utgr detta ett allvarligt slseri med gemenskapens medel.
A more thorough examination of programme documentation prior to approval could have prevented this problem from arising. 
Om programmets dokumentation hade granskats mer noggrant fre godknnande kunde man ha frhindrat att detta problem uppstod.
Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 specifies that AE aid is paid to compensate farmers for obeying specific restrictions on their farm practice, restrictions which result in a loss of net income. If aid rates are set too low, then few farmers will participate and programmes will have little environmental impact. 
Enligt frordning (EEG) nr 2078/92 skall std inom ramen fr miljprogram fr jordbruket ges som kompensation till jordbrukarna fr att de fljer vissa begrnsningar i frga om jordbruksmetoder och drigenom drabbas av nettoinkomstbortfall. Om stdsatserna r fr lga kommer f jordbrukare att medverka och programmet fljaktligen att f ringa inverkan p miljn.
The Court’s auditors found widespread discrepancies between aid rates derived from zonal averages of participation costs and the real costs of participation. 
Revisionsrttens revisorer fann stora skillnader mellan de stdsatser som baserats p regionala genomsnittliga kostnader fr deltagande och de verkliga kostnaderna fr deltagandet.
An official evaluation in Finland found that in 1997 the gross cost to Finnish farmers of programme participation totalled FIM 773 million (ECU 110 million); but the aid paid totalled FIM 1 372 million (ECU 195 million), an excess over the total participation costs to Finnish farmers of almost FIM 600 million (ECU 85 million) (1). 
I en officiell utvrdering i Finland kom man fram till att de finska jordbrukarnas bruttokostnad fr medverkan i programmet r 1997 var 773 miljoner finska mark (110 miljoner ecu), medan det utbetalda stdet uppgick till 1 372 miljoner mark (195 miljoner ecu) Đ stdet versteg allts de totala kostnaderna fr finska jordbru-kares1deltagande med nstan 600 miljoner mark (85 miljoner ecu) ( ).
For the period 1995 to 1997, the Court estimates that the gap between calculated total costs incurred by farmers and total aid paid to farmers in Finland amounted to ECU 422 million. 
Fr perioden 1995Đ1997 uppskattar revisionsrtten att klyftan mellan berknade totala kostnader fr jordbrukarna och det totala stdet som betalats ut till jordbrukare i Finland uppgick till 422 miljoner ecu.
In Sweden, the National Audit Office concluded that the rate of AE support paid for the measure concerning perennial ley farming was significantly in excess of Swedish farmers’ actual costs of participation (2). 
I Sverige drog Riksrevisionsverket slutsatsen att nivn p det std fr miljtgrder inom jordbruket som betalats ut fr tgrden fr flerrig vallodling var mycket hgre n de svenska jordbrukarnas faktiska kostnader fr att delta (2).
Similar problems were identified in Germany, Austria, Portugal and Spain (see Text box 3). 
Liknande problem har observerats i Tyskland, sterrike, Portugal och Spanien (se textruta 3).
Text box 3 In Germany, an official evaluation of the federal programme found that aid rates were insufficient to compensate the farmers for their conversion costs. 
Textruta 3 I Tyskland visade en officiell utvrdering av det federala programmet att stdsatserna inte fullt ut kompenserade jordbrukarna fr deras omstllningskostnader.
In Baden-Württemberg (Germany), the official MEKA evaluation concluded that aid rates were excessive for some measures, for example grassland protection aid. 
I delstaten Baden-Wrttemberg kom den officiella utvrderingen av programmet Meka fram till att stdsatserna var alltfr hga fr vissa tgrder, t.ex. fr skydd av grsbevuxen mark.
In Austria, in contrast with all other measures set out in the national programme, the aid rate for the Elementar-förderung lacks quantified justification. 
I sterrike saknas kvantifierad motivering av stdsatsen inom ÓElementarfrderungÓ Đ detta dock till skillnad frn alla vriga tgrder i det nationella programmet.
By contrast, farmers participating in counter-erosion measures are undercompensated. 
Dremot underkompenseras de jordbrukare som medverkar i tgrder fr att motverka erosion.

AE aid rates might also be inaccurate if the programme zone is not agronomically and environmentally homogenous, as required by Article 3(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92. 
En annan omstndighet som kan gra stdsatserna inom miljprogrammen felaktiga r om programomrdena inte r enhetliga frn jordbruks-och miljsynpunkt, vilket de skall vara enligt artikel 3.2 i frordning (EEG) nr 2078/92.
