Igen i år tager Budgetkontroludvalget spørgsmålet om forvaltningen i medlemslandene op ved at genfremsætte sit forslag om nationale erklæringer, hvor medlemslandene skal forsikre om, at de vil foretage effektiv kontrol af brugen af EU-penge.
The report aims to ensure that national judicial authorities will always be able to impose sufficiently serious penalties by setting out minimum levels for the upper limits on punishments imposed by national law.
MEP'erne insisterer på, at disse erklæringer skal underskrives af den ansvarlige myndighed på nationalt plan.
At present maximum fines for violating intellectual property rights range from £586 in Greece to £67,000 in Holland.
Første gang Parlamentet fremsatte forslaget om de 'nationale erklæringer' var i 2003.
Maximum prison sentences range from three months in Greece to 10 years in Britain.
Udvalget glæder sig over, at Holland allerede har indført de nationale erklæringer, mens Storbritannien og Sverige er i gang med at udvikle det.
Under the new directive, in cases of serious crimes committed by a criminal organisation, the maximum penalty must be at least €300,000 and/or four years' imprisonment.
Også det danske revisionsorgan vil afgive en erklæring om forvaltningen af EU-midler.
In some cases, remedies can include the seizure and destruction of counterfeited goods.
Udvalget beder Kommissionen om inden udgangen af 2007 at komme med et forslag til Rådet om nationale erklæringer, der omfatter alle de EU-midler der bliver forvaltet i medlemslandene.
Moreover, EU countries, if the directive is adopted, would have to allow holders of violated intellectual property rights to assist investigations undertaken by joint investigation teams.
Dårlig kontrol - ingen penge
Crime pays - for the moment
Udvalget er enig med Kommissionen i, at der skal sættes ind, hvis et medlemsland ikke gør nok for at begrænse risikoen for fejl, ved f.eks. at suspendere betalingerne til de pågældende projekter, og Parlamentet støtter de initiativer, der allerede er sat i gang i forhold til ikke at overføre penge, med mindre Kommissionen har fuld garanti for at det medlemsland kan forvalte og kontrollere ordentligt.
Counterfeiting is estimated by industry sources to reduce EU GDP by 8 billion euros annually, with individual companies losing a total of between 45 and 65 billion euros.
Fakta om decharge-proceduren
Annual losses in revenue are estimated at 7.2 % for perfume and toiletries, 5.8 % for pharmaceuticals and 11.5 % for the toy and sports sector.
Hver betænkning består af tre dele.
First use of criminal law to enforce Community legislation
En første del, hvor udvalget giver udtryk for, om man kan give decharge - det vil sige godkende regnskaberne.
This is the first directive using criminal law (with the exception of crossborder damage to the environment, where the right to impose criminal sanctions is laid down in the treaties).
En anden del, hvori der tages stilling til, om regnskaberne kan lukkes, og endelig en tredje del, hvor udvalget understreger de politiske prioriteter.
The proposed directive reflects the Commission's interpretation of the European Court of Justice's ruling of 13 September 2005.
I forhold til regnskaberne for 2005 lægger udvalget op til at give decharge over hele linjen.
According to the Commission, this judgment allows for measures under the Community method to required criminal sanctions where these are required for the effective implementation of Community law.
Den vigtigste betænkning er den der handler om Kommissionen (ordfører Salvador Garriga Polledo, (PPE-DE, ES))
This view is contested by those who believe criminal law is not a Community competence, but amendments rejecting the entire proposal on this basis were defeated in the committee vote.
Det førte senere til, at Jacques Santers Kommission trådte tilbage i marts 1999.
More and more often, it will become necessary to ascertain one's precise position in space and time in a reliable manner.
Lige nu har budgetkontroludvalget fire danske medlemmer, Mogens Camre (DF), Dan Jørgensen (S), Søren Søndergaard (Folkebevægelsen mod EU) og Jens-Peter Bonde (Junibevægelsen).
This will be possible with the GALILEO satellite radio navigation system, an initiative launched by the European Union and the European Space Agency.
Vi har spurgt Mogens Camre, om hvad han mener om proceduren.
This worldwide system will ensure complementarity with the current GPS system.
Når Parlamentet tjekker regnskaberne
"THE COUNCIL :
En af Europa-Parlamentets vigtige roller er at holde snor i EU's regnskaber.
notes with concern the report from the President of the Council and the letter from Vice President Barrot of the European Commission concerning the status of the concession negotiations;
Det foregår hvert år ved, at Parlamentet godkender regnskaberne fra det forrige år ved den såkaldte decharge-procedure.
recalls the conclusion of the Nice European Council to implement Galileo as a public-private partnership;
I næste samling skal Parlamentet tage stilling til regnskaberne fra 2005, og vi har talt med den danske MEP, Mogens Camre (DF), som er en af Parlamentets ordførere, for at høre hvad han mener om sagen.
urges the bidding consortium, by 10 May 2007, to ensure the conditions for the resumption of negotiations with the GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA) by implementing its commitments and especially the agreement of 5 December 2005, and to continue these negotiations without delay;
Mogens Camre har været medlem af Parlamentet siden 1999, men allerede før han blev medlem af Parlamentet, har han som budgetråd på den danske EU-repræsentation i Bruxelles fra 1995 beskæftiget sig med discharge-proceduren.
expects substantial progress to be achieved in the negotiations, so that by June 2007 the Council has adequate assurance that the concession negotiations are going ahead successfully, in particular on the basis of a credible roadmap to come to contractual conclusions as soon as possible;
I Parlamentet bliver behandlingen af regnskabet delt op i mindre bidder, og Mogens Camre er i år Parlamentets ordfører på den del, der handler om udviklingsfonde.
invites the European Commission to assess and report by the June Council on overall progress of the Galileo project, including the outstanding issues listed by the bidding consortium as summarised in the Presidency's report and including the project cost and financing thereof, with a view to the swift progress of the project;
" Kort sagt handler min betænkning om, hvorvidt EU-Kommissionen har brugt de penge ordentligt, der er stillet til rådighed for udvikling i 3. lande," siger Mogens Camre.
invites the European Commission to submit as soon as possible for discussion possible solutions for securing the long-term public financial obligations, as requested in the Council conclusions of October 2006, including a scenario for the earliest possible provision of EGNOS satellite navigation services as precursor to Galileo, and to report to the June Council;
"Et problem, som altid er i arbejdet med udviklingslande er, at hele den grundlæggende administration og kulturen bag er en anden, end den vi har i de europæiske demokratier, og spildprocenten er derfor større," siger han.
requests the European Commission, assisted by GSA and ESA, to assess progress in the concession negotiations and to submit alternative scenarios, also assessed for costs, risk and affordability, for the forthcoming June Council meeting."
I betænkningen lægger han op til, at Parlamentet godkender gennemførslen af regnskaberne, men peger alligevel på nogle ting, som kunne forbedres.
Third country participation in the European GNSS Supervisory Authority
"Det er navnlig i forbindelse med spørgsmålet om man har tilstrækkeligt kvalificeret stab til at foretage den finansielle kontrol," siger Camre.
The Council adopted a decision authorising the Commission to negotiate with non-EU countries with a view to concluding agreements on their associated membership for participation in the European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA).
"Der er ting, der er umuligt at gøre i udviklingslandene.
The main objective of this decision is to provide for a harmonised approach concerning all non-EU countries by clearly defining the modalities of their participation within the GSA.
Mange siger, at "hvis bare de rige lande ville give flere penge, så ville problemerne blive løst."
On 8 December 2006, the Commission submitted to the Council a recommendation for negotiations with non-EU countries on their associated membership within the GSA.
Sludder og vrøvl, det handler ikke om penge, det handler om at lave kulturen om," siger Mogens Camre.
The possibility of participation by third countries in the GSA is provided for in Regulation No 1321/2001 establishing the GSA and in various cooperation agreements on Galileo signed with non-EU countries.
Han mener generelt, at det burde have hårdere konsekvenser for Kommissionen, når regnskaberne ikke er gode nok.
Commission statement on Galileo
Støtteordningerne er ifølge Camre ikke nødvendige for at få det indre marked til at fungere.
The ECAA is designed to open up aviation markets between the EU and its neighbours.
"Det er i mine øjne en forkert idé, som samtidig er en sovepude, for der er stater, der ved de får støtte og forsømmer at foretage de reformer, som vi andre har lavet som forudsætning for, at vi kan betale alle de penge, vi skal betale," slutter Camre.
It will establish common rules on freedom of establishment, aviation security, air traffic management, competition and state aid by gradually extending EU aviation legislation to all the signatory countries.

MEP’ere ønsker vagter i fly under visse betingelser
Safety at sea: Parliament votes on latest maritime legislation
Skal flyselskaberne have lov til at have særlige vagter i flyene?
Pilots should have a bigger role in detecting any shortcomings on board.
I betænkningen af Paolo COSTA (ALDE, IT) går Transportudvalget ind for stramme regler i forhold til sikkerhedsvagterne i flyene.
The Transport Committee, in a report by Paolo Costa (ALDE, IT), backs the draft directive, which would incorporate into EU law the 2002 Protocol to the Athens Convention, thereby introducing compulsory insurance to cover passengers in the event of shipping accidents and raising the compensation limits.
Reglerne for at medtage våben i fly skal også strammes, og MEP'erne insisterer på, at der ikke må medbringes våben på fly, medmindre de relevante sikkerhedskrav er opfyldt.
The Council of Transport Ministers strongly opposes this directive, believing that the Community is not entitled to take action in this field and arguing that these matters should be left to international law.
MEP'erne ønsker også at se nærmere på sikkerhedsforanstaltningerne i lufthavnene, for eksempel forbuddet mod at medbringe væsker i fly.
The directive seeks to put in place "core" rules, common to all Member States, governing civil liability, insurance for ship-owners and the liability of any person responsible for operating a ship.
Her mener udvalget, at disse regler skal udløbe efter seks måneder.
In a report drafted by Gilles SAVARY (PES, FR), Parliament stresses the need to ensure that only safe ships sail and that any accident victims receive speedy and adequate compensation.
Hvis et medlemsland ønsker strengere foranstaltninger, er det for egen regning.
The House is expected to adopt the five maritime safety reports on Wednesday 25 April in Strasbourg, under the first reading of the co-decision procedure.
Det er første gang, at EU-regler også kommer til at dække sikkerhedsforanstaltningerne i luften.
But MEPs in reply stressed the need to finalise this co-decision process as soon as possible.
Med Parlamentets omfattende ændringer i andenbehandlingen af Rådets fælles holdning er det ikke usandsynligt, at sagen ender i Forligsudvalget.
They urged Council not to cherrypick, thus ignoring important parts of this package.

Eksterne forbindelser
Regional policy
Forbindelserne til USA til debat
Regional Development Committee backs EU enlargement and cohesion report
Onsdag formiddag skal MEP'erne diskutere forholdet til USA forud for EU-USA-topmødet, som finder sted den 30. april.
So says an own-initiative report being put forward by Markus PIEPER (EPP-ED, DE) for the Regional Development Committee which looks at ways to rationalise regional spending.
Forbedringerne af forholdet til USA er en af topprioriteterne for Angela Merkel og det tyske formandskab.
The report takes the EU's "integration capacity" to mean that "it must be in a position, in the light of budgetary realities, to pursue the objective of social, economic and territorial cohesion".
Fra Rådet vil det være statssekretær i det tyske udenrigsministerium, Günter Gloser, der vil debattere med MEP'erne, og fra Kommissionen vil det være Kommissær for udenrigsanliggender Benita Ferrero-Waldner.
Of the extra €150 billion in structural funding, Turkey alone would account for 63%, Croatia for 7% and the other Western Balkan states currently receiving pre-accession assistance for a total of 9.2%.
Forbindelserne mellem EU og USA har været et af hovedpunkterne for det tyske formandskab på den udenrigspolitiske front.
EU regional policy will come under intense scrutiny, not least for efficiency of spending, in the review of the EU budget scheduled for 2008-2009.
Den 30. april er der topmøde mellem EU og USA i Washington, og i den anledning er emnet til debat i Parlamentet.
It also recommends drawing on the experience of previous EU enlargements to develop scenarios for funding future European cohesion policy.
I juni 2006 vedtog Parlamentet to betænkninger om de transatlantiske forbindelser.
(This effect occurs when the arrival of relatively poor new Member States reduces EU average per capita GDP, thus making regions in existing ones appear "wealthier" on this measure.
De to ordførere er blevet inviteret med til topmødet i Washington af det tyske formandskab.
• stepping up use of the European Social Fund to help regions cope with the social challenges of globalisation and the effects of demographic change.

Rapporteur Markus PIEPER EPP-ED DE A6-0087/2007 Consequences of future enlargements on the effectiveness of cohesion policy Procedure : Consultation
Den indiske præsident, Dr.
Kyösti VIRRANKOSKI (ALDE, FI) for the Budgets Committee will be tabling a report on the Commission's annual policy strategy for the 2008 budget procedure.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam vil onsdag middag tale til MEP'erne under et højtideligt møde.
A budget for results - transparent presentation, clear objectives, accurate implementation
Det er første gang en indisk præsident taler til Europa-Parlamentet.
The committee underlines once again the importance that it attaches to EU spending programmes effectively delivering on the political objectives which they were legislated to achieve.
Europa-Parlamentet har for nylig styrket forbindelserne til Indien med oprettelsen af en selvstændig interparlamentarisk delegation for Indien.
The report affirms its intention, therefore, to give to its work on the 2008 budget the philosophy of a 'budget for results'.
(Delegationen for forbindelserne til Sydasien blev delt i tre: en for Indien, en for Afghanistan og en for resten af Sydasien.
The committee underlines the importance of monitoring budget implementation as a tool for examining the delivery of policy.
Formanden for delegationen er Neena GILL (PSE, UK), og der er også et dansk medlem, nemlig Ole Christensen (PSE, DK)
Human resources - appropriate allocation, personal responsibility, monitored outsourcing
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentet, Hans-Gert Pöttering (PPE-DE, DE) har betegnet det kommende besøg fra den indiske præsident som "meget vigtigt", da Parlamentet ønsker at have gode forbindelser til Indien.
The committee welcomes the further indications in the 2008 APS of the Commission's efforts to re-direct its human resources towards political priorities but rejects the presentation of these priorities according to the labels prosperity, solidarity, security and external projection.
Den indiske præsident, Dr.
Specific points - Energy / CAP reforms / Information campaigns
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam er født den 15. oktober 1931 i Rameswaram i Tamil Nadu i Sydindien, og er en anerkendt videnskabsmand og ingeniør.
The report supports, in particular, the preparatory work in order to ensure that a decision to set up a European Institute of Technology (EIT) is adopted in the course of 2007.
Han blev Indiens 11. præsident den 25. juli 2002.
The committee expects precise proposals from the Commission as regards the mid-term review of the common agricultural policy.
Kalam har med stor succes udgivet flere bøger om Indiens udvikling, bland andet "India 2020", der handler om at gøre Indien til en supermagt og til et udviklet land inden 2020.
The report considers that the core business of communication and information policy is to inform the EU citizens on the actions and programmes realised by the EU and the improvements generated over the last years.

Beskyttelse af menneskerettighederne i 2006
2005 discharge - Member States' responsibility in question
Hvordan går det med at overholde menneskerettighederne i verden?
MEPs on the Budgetary Control committee have relaunched the idea of "national declarations."
Kina, Rusland, Sudan og Iran får hårde ord med på vejen, når MEP’erne under denne samling har den årlige debat om menneskerettigheder ud fra en betænkning af Simon Coveney (PPE-DE, IRL) fra Udenrigsudvalget.
They are demanding that EU Member States take responsibility for co-managing Community funds, alongside the European Commission.
Betænkningen, der forholder sig til situationen fra 2006, ser også på Kommissionens og Rådets aktiviteter inden for området, lige som der er en selv-evaluering af Parlamentets indsats, og der er konkrete forslag til politikker.
Another idea from the 2005 discharge exercise is to look at the cost/benefit ratio of Community spending audits, which MEPs would like to see rationalised.
Overtrædelser af menneskerettighederne i verden
The concept of "national declarations" first arose in the 2003 discharge.
MEP'erne opfordrer også Rådet og Kommissionen til at rejse spørgsmålet om Tibet, ligesom det bliver understreget, at EU's handelsforbindelser med Kina, skal være betinget af menneskerettighedsreformer.
These national declarations, according to the 2005 Commission discharge report by Salvador GARRIGA POLLEDO (EPP-ED, ES) may be multiple, so as to reflect the realities of the Member States' differing political systems.
Også situationen i Iran giver anledning til MEP’ernes store bekymringer.
They would also help to "improve the quality of national supervisory and control systems", and hence the management of the Community budget.
Menneskerettighedsdialogen med Iran har været afbrudt siden 2004 på grund af manglende vilje fra Irans side.
The report also observes that the declarations could facilitate a positive 'statement of assurance' (DAS)" being obtained from the Court of Auditors.
MEP’erne udtrykker deres ’dybe bekymring over forværringen af menneskerettighedssituationen i Iran’, især den øgede undertrykkelse af menneskerettighedsforkæmpere, og opfordrer Rådet til at udtrykke sin bekymring over menneskerettighedssituationen i landet.
The Commission is therefore invited to submit to the Council a proposal for a national management declaration covering all Community funds under shared management, based on sub-declarations by the various national bodies responsible for the management of expenditure, with, if possible, the participation of national audit bodies.
Udvalget er stadig forfærdet over mordet på Anna Politkovskaja og forventer, at Rusland vil tage yderligere foranstaltninger i forhold til at beskytte ytringsfriheden.
The committee believes it crucial to take account of the cost benefit ratio between the resources dedicated to control activities and the results obtained by the controls.
Udvalget ser også med bekymring på påstandene om, at den russiske regerings skulle stå bag forgiftningen af Alexander Litvinenko og på mishandlingen af den tidligere Yukos-leder Mikhail Khodorkovsky i fængslet.
The report notes, moreover, with great concern, the large number of errors picked up by the Court of Auditors in operations at the level of the final beneficiary.
Udvalget opfordrer Kommissionen og Rådet til at tage disse eksempler op på højeste plan og I forhold til den nye partnerskabsaftale med Rusland.
The text approved in committee calls on the Commission to further improve its effective supervision of controls delegated to Member States.
Udvalget beklager, at volden i Darfur fortsat er ukontrolleret, og at EU ikke har gjort sig flere anstrengelser for at overtale Sudans regering til at acceptere en international fredsbevarende styrke.
Should Member States' control systems still prove insufficient, the Commission should impose clear deadlines and apply sanctions where those deadlines are not met.
Tjekkiet, der som det eneste EU-land endnu ikke har ratificeret aftalen, bliver opfordret til at ratificere aftalen øjeblikkeligt.
Likewise, the Commission should simplify the rules and apply existing legislation on suspension of payments where necessary and act when Member States fail to comply with basic requirements.
Ros til dansk embedsmand
This idea of publication also appears in the area of transparency.
