On 29 June 2005, the European Commission presented its Communication launching a debate on a Community approach towards eco-labelling schemes for fisheries products.
The recent reform of the Common Fisheries Policy makes it necessary to discuss the issue of the introduction of eco-labelling schemes as a means of better integrating environmental protection concerns into the fisheries sector.

A. der henviser til, at EF-traktatens artikel 193 udgør retsgrundlaget for Parlamentets nedsættelse af et midlertidigt undersøgelsesudvalg til undersøgelse af påstande om overtrædelser eller fejl og forsømmelser i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af fællesskabsretten; der henviser til, at dette udgør et væsentligt element i Parlamentets tilsynsbeføjelser,
A. whereas Article 193 of the EC Treaty provides a legal basis for the establishment by the Parliament of a temporary Committee of Inquiry to investigate alleged contraventions or maladministration in the implementation of Community law; whereas this constitutes an important element of the Parliament's supervisory powers,
B. der henviser til, at et undersøgelsesudvalgs særlige opgave er at se på gældende EU-ret og den måde, hvorpå den er blevet gennemført enten af Kommissionen eller af medlemsstaterne, og til, at undersøgelsens rækkevidde er begrænset af undersøgelsesudvalgets mandat og af den direkte og afledte EU-ret,
B. whereas the particular nature of a Committee of Inquiry is to look at the existing body of Community legislation and the way it has been implemented, either by the Commission or by the Member States and whereas the scope of the inquiry is limited by the mandate of the Committee of Inquiry as well as by primary and secondary Community law,
C. der henviser til, at det efter indstilling fra Formandskonferencen på plenarmødet den 18. januar 2006 vedtog at nedsætte et undersøgelsesudvalg til undersøgelse af krisen i Equitable Life Assurance Society, som skulle undersøge en lang række tilknyttede forhold og eventuelt fremsætte forslag, som det finder hensigtsmæssige,
C. whereas on the basis of a proposal by the Conference of Presidents, the Parliament decided at its plenary session on 18 January 2006 to set up a Committee of Inquiry to look into the crisis of Equitable Life Assurance Society, and that the Committee of Inquiry would investigate a large series of related issues and would make any proposals that it deemed necessary in the matter,
D. der henviser til, at grundlaget for et undersøgelsesudvalg forhindrer det i at fremsætte konklusioner fra sine undersøgelser, før det anser mandatet for at være opfyldt; der derfor henviser til, at det hverken er muligt eller ønskeligt, at undersøgelsesudvalget fremsætter bemærkninger om de forskellige aspekter af mandatet på dette stadium af undersøgelsen,
D. whereas the nature of a Committee of Inquiry prevents it from advancing any conclusions arising out of its investigations before it considers that its mandate has been fulfilled; whereas, therefore, it is neither possible nor desirable for the Committee of Inquiry to submit any observations on the various aspects of its mandate at this early stage of its work,
E. der henviser til, at undersøgelsesudvalget har godkendt et arbejdsdokument, som indeholder en struktureret arbejdsmetode og fastlægger klare linjer for arbejdet og undersøgelsen,
E. whereas the Committee of Inquiry has approved a working document setting out a structured approach and establishing clear lines of action and investigation,
F. der henviser til, at undersøgelsesudvalget har bestilt eksterne undersøgelser over sit ekspertbudget vedrørende de første tre områder, der skal undersøges, jf. arbejdsdokumentet, og for øjeblikket afventer resultaterne,
F. whereas the Committee of Inquiry has commissioned external studies under its expertise budget concerning the first three lines of investigation identified in the working document, and is currently awaiting the results,
G. der henviser til, at de spørgsmål, som undersøgelsesudvalget beskæftiger sig med er af generel betydning og går videre end den særlige situation, som de direkte berørte europæiske borgere befinder sig i, navnlig om det indre marked for forsikringsprodukter fungere hensigtsmæssigt, om EU-retten er blevet gennemført korrekt, og om de regresmuligheder, som borgerne har navnlig i grænseoverskridende situationer, hvor tilsynsmyndigheden kontrolleres af hjemlandet, er hensigtsmæssige,
G. whereas the issues dealt with by the Committee of Inquiry have a general significance that goes beyond the particular concerns of the European citizens who are directly affected, in particular as regards the adequate functioning of the internal market for insurance products, the correct implementation of Community law and the adequacy of redress mechanisms available to citizens, in particular in cross-border situations where the regulator concerned is under home-country control,
H. der henviser til, at de spørgsmål, som undersøgelsesudvalget beskæftiger sig med, kan få generel betydning for solvens II-projektet og navnlig for eventuelle kommende bestemmelser om forsikringsselskabers aktiver og passiver, kongruens mellem aktiver og passiver, genforsikringsordninger og konsekvenserne med hensyn til den regnskabs- og aktuarmæssige politik,
H. whereas the issues dealt with by the Committee of Inquiry may have a general significance for the Solvency II project, in particular for possible future provisions on the rules governing the assets and liabilities of insurance undertakings, matching assets to liabilities, reinsurance arrangements, and the implications of accounting and actuarial policies,
I. der henviser til, at undersøgelsesudvalget bør tage hensyn til de undersøgelser, der allerede er gennemført i Det Forenede Kongerige, navnlig de undersøgelser, som lord Penrose har gennemført, og ligeledes i fuld udstrækning bør tage hensyn til de igangværende undersøgelser som f.eks. den undersøgelse, som det britiske parlaments ombudsmand er i gang med,
I. whereas the Committee of Inquiry should take into account the investigations already undertaken in the United Kingdom, especially those carried out by Lord Penrose, and should give full consideration to the investigations that are ongoing, such as that of the UK Parliamentary Ombudsman,
J. der henviser til, at de mundtlige og skriftlige oplysninger, som undersøgelsesudvalget har modtaget og behandlet til dags dato, bekræfter behovet for yderligere undersøgelser af samtlige punkter i mandatet, som Parlamentet gav det i sin afgørelse af 18. januar 2006, og for at fremsætte de nødvendige forslag,
J. whereas the oral and written evidence submitted and examined by the Committee of Inquiry to date confirms the need to investigate further all the points contained in its mandate by the Parliament in its Decision of 18 January 2006, and to make the necessary proposals,
6. opfordrer regeringerne og parlamenterne i medlemsstaterne, navnlig i Det Forenede Kongerige, Irland og Tyskland, til at bistå undersøgelsesudvalget i dets arbejde under fuld iagttagelse af princippet om loyalt samarbejde som fastsat i traktaterne;
Requires that the governments and parliaments of Members States, in particular those of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany, assist the Committee of Inquiry in its task with full respect for the principle of loyal cooperation established in the Treaties.
I. KORT GENNEMGANG AF MANDATET
I. SUMMARY OF THE MANDATE
Den 18. januar 2006 traf Europa-Parlamentet afgørelse
On 18 January 2006, the European Parliament decided
Europa-Parlamentets afgørelse af 18.1.2006 ( B6-0050/2006 ) om nedsættelse af et undersøgelsesudvalg om krisen Equitable Life Assurance Society (endnu ikke offentliggjort i EUT). om at nedsætte et undersøgelsesudvalg med 22 medlemmer med det formål at undersøge påstande om overtrædelser eller om fejl eller forsømmelser i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af fællesskabsretten for så vidt angår krisen i Equitable Life, med forbehold af den kompetence, der tilkommer nationale eller fællesskabsretsinstanser.
Decision of the European Parliament B6-0050/2006 of 18 January 2006, setting up a Committee of Inquiry into the crisis of the Equitable Life Society, publication in OJ pending. to set up a Committee of Inquiry of 22 members to investigate alleged contraventions or maladministration in the application of Community law in relation to the crisis of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, without prejudice to the jurisdiction of national or Community courts.
De forhold, som førte til nedsættelsen af undersøgelsesudvalget, var blevet rejst i en række andragender til Europa-Parlamentet
The concerns which led to the setting up of the Committee had previously been raised via several petitions to the European Parliament.
Andragende 0611/2004 af Athur White (britisk) og 0029/2005 af Paul Braithwaite (britisk) på vegne af Equitable Members' Action Group (EMAG) og efterfølgende andragender fra tyske og irske andragere om samme emne. .
Petitions 0611/2004 by Arthur White (British) and 0029/2005 by Paul Braithwaite (British), on behalf of the Equitable Members' Action Group (EMAG) and subsequent petitions on the same subject submitted by German and Irish petitioners.
Disse andragender danner grundlaget for og er udgangspunktet for undersøgelsen og har bidraget som retningslinje for arbejdet.
These petitions form the basis and point of departure of the inquiry and have helped focus its direction.
Det har derfor været vigtigt at anerkende og fortsat gøre brug af bidrag fra andragerne og at indbyde dem til udvalgsmøderne, så de kan give et samlet billede.
It was therefore crucial to acknowledge and maintain input from the petitioners, and invite them to the Committee's meetings in order to set the scene.
Disse andragenders centrale rolle afspejler også den betydning, som Parlamentets Udvalg for Andragender spiller i kontrollen med gennemførelsen af EU-lovgivningen.
The central role of these particular petitions also reflects the general importance of Parliament's Petitions Committee in monitoring the application of Community law.
Det er vigtigt at holde sig for øje, at undersøgelsens omfang er begrænset af mandatet, af EF-traktatens artikel 193 og Parlamentets, Rådets og Kommissionens afgørelse om udøvelsen af Parlamentets undersøgelsesbeføjelse
It is important to bear in mind that the scope of the inquiry is limited by the mandate, by Article 193 of the EC Treaty and by the Decision of the Parliament, Council and Commission on the exercise of the European Parliament's right of inquiry.
Afgørelse truffet af Europa-Parlamentet, Rådet og Kommissionen den 19.4.1995 om de nærmere vilkår for udøvelse af Europa-Parlamentets undersøgelsesbeføjelse (95/167/EF, Euratom, EKSF) .
Decision 95/167/EC, Euratom, ECSC of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 19 April 1995 on the detailed provisions governing the exercise of the European Parliament's right of enquiry, OJ L 113 19/5/1995, p.2
Ifølge mandatet skal undersøgelsesudvalgets arbejde koncentreres om fire hovedområder:
According to the mandate, the Committee's investigation is to focus on four key issues:
Evaluering af Kommissionens tilsyn med gennemførelsen.
Assessment of the Commission's monitoring of implementation.
Endelig har udvalget fået i opdrag at "fremsætte eventuelle forslag, som det måtte finde hensigtsmæssige."
Finally, the Committee is required to "make any proposals that it deems necessary in this matter."
På denne baggrund vedtog udvalget en arbejdsmetode for de enkelte led i mandatet, som indebar en klar skelnen mellem dels:
With this scope in mind, the committee adopted a working approach to the indents contained in the mandate, so as to clearly distinguish:
Undersøgelser på medlemsstatsniveau vedrørende
· investigations at the Member State level concerning:
* omsættelse i national ret og gennemførelse (første led)
o transposition / implementation (indent 1);
* regulering og tilsyn (tredje led) og
o regulation / supervision (indent 3) and;
* klagemuligheder (fjerde led) dels
o redress mechanisms (indent 4) on the one hand, and;
spørgsmålet om Kommissionens rolle (andet led)
· the question of the Commission's role on the other hand (indent 2).
Se bilag, som indeholder en skematisk oversigt over strukturen. .
See the annex for an overview of the structure.
Undersøgelsen afskiller sig fra tidligere og løbende undersøgelser på nationalt plan gennem sit europæiske perspektiv.
The inquiry has set itself apart from previous and ongoing national investigations by adopting a European perspective .
Med dette for øje foretages analysen i form af en sammenligning mellem Det Forenede Kongerige, Tyskland og Irland og mindst en anden medlemsstat med en veludviklet finanssektor, som f.eks. Nederlandene eller Spanien.
In order to achieve this, the analysis is being done in a comparative way, including the UK, Germany, Ireland and at least one other Member State with a well developed financial services industry, such as the Netherlands or Spain.
Med hensyn til, hvilken referenceperiode undersøgelsen skal dække, fastslås det i mandatet, at perioden løber fra ikrafttrædelsen af det tredje livsforsikringsdirektiv den 1. juli 1994 indtil de begivenheder, der fandt sted i Equitable Life omkring 1999-2000.
As far as the period covered, the mandate mentions that it should begin with the entry into force of the Third Life Directive (3LD), 1 July 1994, and should end with the events that occurred at Equitable Life, i.e., 1999-2001.
Af hensyn til undersøgelsen kan det imidlertid blive nødvendigt at undersøge forhold, som ligger før 1994, og som vedrører det første og andet livsforsikringsdirektiv samt hele forløbet forud for vedtagelsen af det tredje livsforsikringsdirektiv før 1994.
Nevertheless, for the purposes of the inquiry, it may be necessary to analyze events before 1994, both in terms of the First and Second Life Directives (1LD and 2LD) as well as the whole process of adoption of the 3LD before 1994.
Undersøgelse af påstande om overtrædelser eller om fejl eller forsømmelser i forbindelse med den måde, hvorpå Det Forenede Kongerige har anvendt direktiv 92/96/EØF
1) Investigation into alleged contraventions or maladministration in the application of Directive 92/96/EEC by the UK
