The CourtŐs audit rather examines the Phare programme to assess how well the funding available under it was used to assist Candidate Countries to prepare for managing the Structural Funds.
(5) The new orientation agreed was set out in a Communication to the Commission from Commissioner van den Broek:New Orientations for the Phare Programme in the Context of Pre-Accession Assistance(COM(97) 112/8, Brussels, 18 March 1997).
Although overall approximately 35% of the Phare programme was allocated to ESC programmes, most countries allocated somewhat less than this target figure, mainly due to insufficient absorption capacity and competing priorities(see paragraphs 39 to 41).
As part of the pre-accession strategy, it was decided to increase substantially pre-accession aid:alongside the already existing Phare programme(2), it would comprise a structural instrument and aid for agriculture as from 2000.
The Phare programme has contributed in two ways to preparing Candidate Countries for managing the Structural Funds:(a)(b) financing Twinning projects, where experts in the area of the Structural Funds from the administrations of the Member States work in the relevant ministries of the Candidate Countries.
With the granting of EDIS in the new Member States,specific implementing agencies were accredited to implement the Phare programme without the Commission's ex-ante control of tendering and contracting.
More generally, the CommissionŐs use of the Phare programme to prepare Candidate Countries for managing the Structural Funds suffered from the lack of a wider strategy identifying both the requirements to be met by Candidate Countries in the field of regional policy prior to accession and the approach to be followed by these countries to Structural Fund management after accession.
(6) As well as the countries referred to in footnote 1,which will join the European Union in May 2004, the Phare programme also provides assistance to Bulgaria and Romania which are foreseen to join the European Union at a later date.
The Court selected this audit in view of the increasing importance attached by the Commission since 1997 to preparing Candidate Countries for managing the Structural Funds,and the significant resources expected to be allocated from the Phare programme to meeting this objective from 2000 onwards in relation to the ERDF and ESF(16).
While the Commission should becommended for starting as early as 1998 to use the Phare programme to help prepare Candidate Countries for managing the Structural Funds, at the time of the accession the Phare programme had had a more limited impact on preparing the Candidate Countries for the ERDF and ESF than planned in the CommissionŐs policy documents, notably its Phare Review 2000(see paragraph 67).
