I de mere end ni år, hvor jeg har haft ansvaret som fast repræsentant for finansministrene i hhv. delstaterne Hessen og Nordrhein-Westfalen, har jeg tilsvarende bl.a. haft ansvar for udarbejdelse og gennemførelse af budgetterne for delstaterne Hessen og Nordrhein-Westfalen.
In more than nine years as State Secretary in the Finance Ministries of the Federal German Länder Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia I was responsible, amongst other things, to an equal degree for both the drafting and the implementation of the budgets of the two Länder concerned.
Budgetternes volumen udgjorde indtil 2001 omregnet hhv. ca. 25 og 50 milliarder euro.
Until 2001, those budgets had a volume of roughly € 25 billion and € 50 bn respectively.
Som kontorchef for disse to finansministerier var jeg medansvarlig for finansministeriets budgetforslag og for, at det blev gennemført formelt og økonomisk korrekt.
As administrative head of the two finance ministries concerned I was partly responsible for their own departmental budgets and the implementation of those budgets in keeping with the principles of regularity and sound financial management.
Årene 1995 til 2004 var som følge af de to tyske staters genforening præget af en vanskelig økonomisk situation i Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland og i de enkelte delstater.
As a result of the reunification of Germany, in the years between 1995 and 2004 the economic situation in the Federal Republic of Germany and the individual Länder was difficult.
I takt med de stadig flere opgaver i den offentlige sektor havde de, der var ansvarlige for de offentlige budgetter, til opgave at overholde de europæiske og nationale bestemmelser om stabilitet.
At a time of rising public expenditure, the task of those responsible for State budgets was to ensure compliance with European and national stability criteria.
I min tid som medlem af forbundsrevisionsretten har jeg i forbindelse med mit revisionsområde været ansvarlig for revisionen af hele den tyske pensionsforsikring.
During my term of office as a Member of the Federal Court of Auditors my sector was responsible for monitoring all Germany's pension insurance schemes.
Indbetalingerne til den tyske pensionsforsikring for arbejdere og funktionærer udgjorde i årene 1988 - 1991 omregnet ca. 125 milliarder euro.
Over the period from 1988 to 1991 German wage and salary earners' pension insurance funds were responsible for managing sums totalling some € 125 bn.
Administrationen blev varetaget af forsikringsselskaberne for arbejdere og funktionærers pensionsforsikring, der på daværende tidspunkt beskæftigede ca. 50.000 medarbejdere.
That management was carried out by the wage and salary earners' pension insurance institutions, which at that time employed some 50 000 staff.
En væsentlig opgave i forbindelse med kontrollen af pensionsforsikringens formelle rigtighed og økonomisk forsvarlige forvaltning bestod i at rådgive det tyske parlaments budgetudvalg.
The main purpose of carrying out audits of pension insurance funds in the light of the principles of regularity and sound financial management was to obtain information which would help the Federal Court of Auditors to advise the Committee on Budgets of the German Bundestag.
Det var ligeledes vigtigt at bistå pensionsforsikringsselskabernes selvstyrende organer og deres administrationer konstruktivt i forbindelse med spørgsmål om økonomisk forsvarlig forvaltning, men også systemiske spørgsmål.
It was equally important to provide regulatory bodies in the pension insurance sector and their administrations with constructive advice on matters relating to sound financial management and procedural issues.
De vigtigste aspekter af min erhvervserfaring, hvad enten det er som offentlig anklager, embedsmand i ministeriet, medlem af Forbundsrepublikken Tysklands overordnede revisionsorgan eller statssekretær i to delstatsregeringer, har været den effektive og frem for alt lovmedholdelige udførelse af opgaverne i borgernes og statens interesse.
The most important aspects of my professional experience, whether as a public prosecutor, a civil servant working in a ministry, a member of the supreme auditing authority of the Federal Republic of Germany or as State Secretary in two Land governments, concerned the efficient, and above all lawful, discharging of my responsibilities in the interests of citizens and the State.
En yderligere væsentlig erfaring er, at velfungerende demokratiske institutioner er en væsentlig garant for velfærd og en fortsat udvikling af samfundet.
One other important thing which my professional experience has taught me is that democratic institutions are fundamental to welfare and the development of society.
Som statssekretær i finansministerierne i delstaterne Hessen og Nordrhein-Westfalen har jeg været involveret i en lang række vigtige beslutninger.
As State Secretary in the Finance Ministries of Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia I was involved in many important decisions.
Af hensyn til den tavshedspligt, som jeg den dag i dag stadig er bundet af, kan jeg ikke fremkomme med yderligere oplysninger herom.
In keeping with the principle of tax secrecy, by which I am still bound, I cannot give details of those decisions.
En vigtig beslutning, som jeg i videste forstand har været involveret i, og som også har gjort et stort indtryk, var sammenslutningen af det tidligere DDR's pensionsforsikring med Forbundsrepublikken Tysklands pensionsforsikring som led i den tyske forening.
A decision, as important as it was impressive, in which I was involved in a broader sense was the merging of the pension insurance funds of the former German Democratic Republic with those of the Federal Republic of Germany following German reunification.
Denne proces, der både var praktisk og lovgivningsmæssigt vanskelig, har jeg i kraft af mit revisionsområde været aktivt involveret i.
My audit sector was actively involved in this process, with all its practical and legal problems.
Derudover vil jeg gerne fremhæve det forslag til lovmæssig regulering af den tyske pensionsforsikrings kapitalanbringelser, som blev fremsat af det revisionsområde, jeg havde ansvaret for.
In addition, I should like to draw attention to the legal provisions governing investments by German pension insurance funds proposed by the audit sector of the Federal Court of Auditors for which I was responsible.
Efter at det på grundlag af kontroller udført af mit revisionsområde var blevet konstateret, at investeringen af pensionsforsikringens indeståender i specielle værdipapirer på daværende tidspunkt ikke var rentabel, foreslog forbundsrevisionsretten på basis af en revisionsanmærkning fra mit revisionsområde, at lovbestemmelserne for sådanne anbringelser skulle ændres for at undgå økonomiske ulemper for pensionsforsikringerne og dermed ulemper for de forsikrede/bidragsyderne.
After audits by my sector had revealed that investing pension insurance fund assets in special security-based investment funds was economically disadvantageous at the time, on the basis of audit observations drawn up by my sector the Federal Court of Auditors proposed new legal provisions governing such investments which were designed to ensure that the pension insurance funds, and, by extension, their insured persons/contributors, were not penalised economically.
Den lovændring, som forbundsrevisionsretten havde givet anledning til, blev vedtaget af det tyske parlament og er den dag i dag stadig en del af lovgivningen på det sociale område.
The amendment to the law proposed by the Federal Court of Auditors was incorporated into the Social Security Code by the German Bundestag and is still in force today.
I min tid som medlem af direktionen af de tyske bankers sammenslutning var jeg involveret i forskellige tiltag på finansmarkedet og politiske og lovgivningsmæssige aktiviteter.
In my capacity as a member of the Management Board of the Federal Association of German Banks, I was involved in implementing various financial market measures and in activities in the political and legislative spheres.
På grund af den tavshedspligt, som jeg er bundet af, kan jeg ikke give detaljerede oplysninger herom.
In keeping with the duty of confidentiality by which I am still bound, I cannot provide details.
I store træk kan jeg dog oplyse, at jeg har bistået ved den komplekse proces med at gennemføre Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) i den nationale lovgivning.
I can, however, outline in broad terms my role in the complex procedure to transpose the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) into national law.
Omplantningen af et europæisk direktiv eller forordning til national lovgivning, rådgivnings- og gennemførelsesprocessen på nationalt plan og så den efterfølgende implementering af loven om gennemførelse af direktivet om markedet for finansielle instrumenter i tiltag i virksomhederne var i sin kompleksitet, men også i sin funktionalitet et imponerende eksempel på de politiske kræfters samspil på europæisk og nationalt plan samt den effektive dialog om virksomhedsmæssige nødvendigheder og politiske muligheder mellem virksomheder og stat.
In its complexity, but also in its effectiveness, the process of transforming a European directive or regulation into national law, discussing and implementing it at national level and then putting the provisions of the law transposing the financial markets directive into practice in individual firms was an impressive example of the interaction of political forces at European and national level and of the reconciliation of what was economically essential with what was politically feasible.
Den uafhængighed, der er forbundet med hvervet, indbefatter friheden til at give anvisninger.
The independence which the post requires incorporates an undertaking not to accept instructions.
Det betyder, at jobbet skal udføres på basis af den størst mulige ekspertise og den brede erfaring fra mit eget arbejdsliv med blikket rettet mod de mål, som institutionen, i dette tilfælde Den Europæiske Revisionsret, har.
This signifies that a Member's duties must be performed by drawing on the greatest possible degree of expertise and one's own broad professional experience, in keeping with the objectives of the institution concerned, in this case the European Court of Auditors.
Den formelle rigtighed og den økonomisk forsvarlige forvaltning ved opkrævningen og anvendelsen af de europæiske budgetmidler skal kontrolleres og vurderes uafhængigt af personhensyn.
Audits to assess whether EU budget revenue has been collected and EU budget expenditure has been disbursed in a manner consistent with the principles of regularity and sound financial management must be carried out without regard for individuals.
I Den Europæiske Revisionsret skal de revisionsresultater, man selv er kommet frem til, udelukkende forelægges kollegiet på dette grundlag.
In the European Court of Auditors, a Member's own audit findings must be presented to the College exclusively on the basis of these criteria.
Kompetencerne og erfaringerne skal uden forbehold tilbydes og stilles til rådighed for Europa-Parlamentet og dets medlemmer.
Each Member's skills and experience must be made available to the European Parliament and MEPs unreservedly.
Der skal samarbejdes med de øvrige europæiske institutioner til gavn for Europa og dets medlemsstater.
The Court of Auditors must cooperate with the other European institutions for the benefit of Europe and its Member States.
Den uafhængighed, som er garanteret medlemmerne af Den Europæiske Revisionsret, sikrer trods alt, at egne oplysninger og standpunkter kan repræsenteres uden begrænsninger.
Notwithstanding the above, the independence guaranteed to Members of the European Court of Auditors ensures that they can advocate their own ideas and standpoints without restriction.
En sådan procedure har aldrig eksisteret og eksisterer ikke.
No such procedure did or does exist.
Jeg har ingen forretnings- eller kapitalinteresser eller andre forpligtelser, der kunne kollidere med mine fremtidige opgaver.
I have no business or financial holdings or other commitments which might conflict with my prospective duties.
Jeg er selvfølgelig villig til at oplyse Rettens formand om alle finansielle interesser og at offentliggøre dem.
I am of course prepared to disclose all my financial interests to the President of the Court and make them public.
Jeg er ikke involveret i nogen straffe-, disciplinær- eller tvistighedsnævnssager, der kunne påvirke min uafhængighed.
I am not involved in any criminal law or disciplinary proceedings which might impair my independence.
Er De indstillet på at træde tilbage fra en post, De er valgt til, eller at opgive et hverv, som indebærer forpligtelser i et politisk parti, efter udnævnelsen til medlem af Retten?
Are you prepared to step down from any elected office or give up any active function with responsibilities in a political party after your appointment as Court Member
Jeg udøver ingen funktion i den ovennævnte forstand.
I have no office or function of the type referred to above.
I et sådant tilfælde ville jeg indhente Den Europæiske Revisionsrets formands og kollegiums samtykke til at lade alle kompetencer, der også kun i mindste mål ville kunne medføre en interessekonflikt, hvile eller helt og vedvarende at frasige mig dem, indtil sagen var afklaret.
In such an event, with the consent of the President of the European Court of Auditors and all the other Members I would step down from any responsibilities which might be even remotely likely to give rise to a conflict of interests, either until the case has been solved or permanently.
Den offentlige forvaltning har, for så vidt den ikke er en ordens- og indgrebsforvaltning, "servicefunktioner".
Public administration, provided that it performs no regulatory role, has a 'service' remit.
Det vil sige, at den skal anvende de finansielle ressourcer, som borgerne og virksomhederne tjener og på grundlag af politiske beslutninger stiller til rådighed for udførelsen af offentlige opgaver, på en effektiv og korrekt måde, men også i henhold til subsidiaritetsprincippet.
In practice, this means that it must use the financial resources generated by citizens and firms and earmarked by means of political decisions to fund the work of the State efficiently and legally, but also in a manner consistent with the subsidiarity principle.
Anvendelsen af midlerne skal derudover hele tiden kontrolleres i henhold til best practice og ske på de rigtige steder ud fra bæredygtighedsprincipper.
In addition, the way resources are used must constantly be assessed in the light of best practice and, in keeping with the principle of sustainability, public funds must be disbursed where they are really needed.
Den Europæiske Revisionsret har en fremtrædende støtte- og rådgivningsfunktion over for Europa-Parlamentet og især over for dets Budgetkontroludvalg.
The European Court of Auditors has a clear supportive and advisory role vis-à-vis the European Parliament and, in particular, its Committee on Budgetary Control.
Alle oplysninger og kompetencer skal stilles til rådighed for disse institutioner.
All knowledge and skills must be made available to those institutions.
For så vidt kan der ikke være nogen konflikt mellem Parlamentets suverænitet og dets organer og Rettens og dens medlemmers uafhængighed.
In that way, there can be no conflict between the sovereignty of Parliament and its bodies and the independence of the Court and its Members.
Hvilken form for merværdi mener De, resultatrevision kan tilføre, og hvordan bør resultaterne indarbejdes i forvaltningen?
What do you think is the added value of performance audit and how should the findings be incorporated in the management?
Traditionel revision beskæftiger sig overvejende med den formelle rigtighed af de offentlige midlers anvendelse.
Traditional auditing focuses on the regularity of the use of public funds.
De offentlige budgetters ressourcer skal imidlertid ikke kun anvendes korrekt i forhold til de politiske anvisninger og formål, men de skal - ligesom i det private erhvervsliv - også anvendes resultatorienteret.
However, State budget resources must not only be used lawfully and in a manner consistent with political objectives and purposes; their use must also be outcome-oriented, as in the private sector.
Effektiviteten af anvendelsen af de offentlige midler står i naturlig funktionel afhængighed af den formelle rigtighed.
When it comes to the use of public resources, efficiency and regularity naturally go hand in hand.
Performance audits supplerer og fremmer den korrekte anvendelse af offentlige midler i forhold til borgere og virksomheder og i forhold til en bæredygtig anvendelse af ressourcer.
Performance audit encourages the use of public resources in keeping with the principle of regularity, in the interests of the public and business and of the sustainable use of resources.
Hvordan ville samarbejdet mellem Revisionsretten, de nationale revisionsmyndigheder og Parlamentet (Budgetkontroludvalget) om revision af EU's budget kunne forbedres?
How could the cooperation improve between the Court of Auditors, the National Audit Institutions and the European Parliament (Committee on Budgetary Control) concerning the audit of the EU budget?
Idet det forudskikkes, at samarbejdet mellem ansvarlige institutioner og i givet fald en forbedring heraf er en konstant opgave, kan jeg først - og da også inden for rammerne af det kollegiale samarbejde i Den Europæiske Revisionsret - danne mig et eget indtryk heraf, når jeg på grundlag af egen viden herom og erfaring hermed virkelig er i stand til at foretage en bedømmelse.
Whilst making clear that cooperation between the institutions responsible, and, if necessary, improving that cooperation, is a constant task, I will form my own judgment on this matter when I can do so confidently on the basis of my own conclusions and experience and in the light of the cooperation between all the Members of the European Court of Auditors.
Da jeg er blevet foreslået af regeringen i Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland, ville jeg i et sådant tilfælde træffe de ansvarlige beslutninger i en tæt dialog med den.
Since I have been nominated by the Federal German Government, in such a case I would take responsible decisions in close dialogue with it.
