Commission Report 2002 (Hungary)
Hungary had difficulties in ensuring effective inter-ministerial
co-ordination and appropriate partnership in programming and implementation.
The preparation of the development plan and the operational programme has
been severely delayed and the structures required for implementation have
just been designated and require considerable and immediate strengthening. In
line with the timetable provided in the Action Plan, Hungary has committed
itself to revise the system of payments and to align financial management and
control procedures by the end of the year. Detailed tasks to be performed by
the line ministries and other bodies under the responsibility of the managing
authorities have not yet been defined. In relation to the evaluation and
monitoring system, progress has been made in establishing a system for the
computerised exchange of data but the ex ante evaluation process, foreseen in
the Action Plan, is behind schedule. Initial steps, in line with the
commitments taken in the Action Plan, have been taken to assist local bodies
in starting project pipeline development. Overall, Hungary has met the
priorities of the Accession Partnership in the area of Regional Policy only
to a very limited extent. It has accumulated delays in the time schedule set
in the Action Plan for the implementation of the measures foreseen.
