der henviser til betænkninger af Casaca og Bosch samt udkast til betænkning af Bayona,
having regard to the Casaca report, the Bösch report and the Bayona draft report,
mener, at Eurostat-sagen har understreget behovet for at ændre finansforordningen således, at det automatisk kræves af Kommissionen at anmode om en fuldstændig redegørelse af ejerskabet for en virksomhed, som afgiver tilbud på en kontrakt med Kommissionen, og at tilbudsgiveren har en tilsvarende forpligtelse til at give en fuldstændig redegørelse for sit ejerskab; understreger desuden, at en tilbudsgiver, som afviser at afgive oplysninger om sit ejerskab, automatisk skal udelukkes fra at deltage i udbuddet;
Considers that the Eurostat affair has highlighted the need to amend the Financial Regulation to the effect that the Commission is automatically required to request a full account of the ownership of a firm tendering for a Commission contract, and that the contractor has a corresponding obligation to give a full account of its ownership; further stresses that a contractor which refuses to provide information about its ownership should automatically be excluded from tendering for the contract;
påpeger, at undersøgelsen af problemerne i Eurostat viser, at der bør skabes sikkerhed for, at væsentlige oplysninger ikke kan hemmeligholdes;
Draws attention to the fact that the examination of the problems at Eurostat shows that there need to be safeguards against concealment of critical information;
understreger, at strukturerne for den økonomiske forvaltning og kontrol nu omfatter følgende vigtige organisationsstrukturer:
Notes that the financial management and control structures now comprise the following key organisational elements:
generaldirektørerne som delegerede anvisningsberettigede
the Directors-General as delegated authorising officers;
Den Interne Revisionstjeneste
the Internal Audit Service;
de interne revisionsenheder (GD-niveau)
the Internal Audit Capabilities (DG level);
Den Centrale Finanstjeneste i Generaldirektoratet for Budget;
the Central Financial Service in DG Budget;
er af den opfattelse, at Eurostat-sagen har understreget behovet for en gennemgang af forholdet mellem disse forskellige aktører og de enkelte kommissionsmedlemmer og deres samlede kollegium samt af regnskabskædens funktionsevne, således at der med sikkerhed kan gøres fremskridt ikke blot med hensyn til den økonomiske forvaltning, men også hvad angår Kommissionens ledelsesstrukturer;
Takes the view that the Eurostat case has pointed up the need to review the relations between these different actors and between the individual Commissioners and the College of Commissioners, as well as the functioning of the accountability chain, in order to ensure progress not only in the area of financial management but also in the governance structure of the Commission;
understreger den politiske betydning, Europa-Parlamentet tillægger de udtalelser og konklusioner, der blev afgivet under overskriften "Eurostat" i sin beslutning af 29. januar 2004;
Stresses the political importance that it ascribes to the statements made and conclusions drawn under the heading 'Eurostat' in its resolution of 29 January 2004;
beklager, at Kommissionen i forbindelse med Eurostat-sagen ikke har haft beslutsomheden og styrken til at bekæmpe modstanden i sin egen administration og gennemføre de nødvendige ændringer i sin politik om at decentralisere ansvaret for den økonomiske forvaltning; bemærker, at denne decentralisering i mangel af uafhængig og effektiv kontrol af regnskaber vil udgøre en betydelig risiko for fællesskabets økonomiske interesser;
Regrets the fact that, in the wake of the Eurostat affair, the Commission lacked the determination and strength to overcome the resistance within its administration and make the necessary revisions to its policy of decentralising responsibility for financial management; notes that, in the absence of independent and effective balancing checks, this decentralisation will pose serious risks to the Community's financial interests;
bemærker, at kommissær Solbes sendte handlingsplanen for Eurostat for 2004 til formanden for Budgetkontroludvalget den 21. januar 2004; mener, at der bør gennemføres en uafhængig revision af administrationen og forvaltningen for det nye Eurostats struktur, når OLAF's undersøgelser er fuldført;
Notes that Commissioner Solbes forwarded the Eurostat action plan for 2004 to the chair of the Committee on Budgetary Control on 21 January 2004; takes the view that an independent administrative and management audit of the new Eurostat structure should be carried out once OLAF's investigations are complete;
understreger, at Kommissionens formand den 18. november 2003 meddelte, at der ville blive stillet lovforslag, der kunne vedtages af Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet inden Europavalgene, og som dermed ville bidrage til at genoprette offentlighedens tillid, som har lidt alvorligt under Eurostat-sagen;
Points out that the President of the Commission announced on 18 November 2003 that legislative proposals would be forthcoming which could be adopted by Parliament and the Council before the European elections, thereby helping to restore public confidence, which was destroyed by the Eurostat affair;
- den grundige revision af alle gældende kontrakter med og støtte til eksterne organer og ophævelsen af enhver automatisk kontraktforlængelse
the thorough revision of all existing contracts with and subsidies to outside bodies and the cancellation of all automatic contract renewals
gør opmærksom på, at Europa-Parlamentet fortsat vil overvåge disse reformer med henblik på at sikre fuld gennemsigtighed og ansvarlighed for EU's økonomi;
Notes that the EP will continue to monitor these reforms in order to ensure full transparency and accountability in respect of the finances of the EU;
pålægger sin formand at sende denne beslutning til Kommissionen.
Instructs its President to forward this report to the Commission.

der henviser til sin betænkning af 4. december 2003 om OLAF's aktiviteter (betænkning af Bösch) af 29. januar 2004 om opfølgning af decharge 2001 (betænkning af Casaca) og af 21. april 2004 om decharge 2002 (betænkning af Bayona),
having regard to its report on OLAF activities (Bösch report) of 4 December 2003, its report on the 2001 discharge follow-up (Casaca report) of 29 January 2004 and its report on the 2002 Commission discharge (Bayona report) of 21 April 2004,
der henviser til, at Parlamentet i sin dechargebeslutning fra april 2003 om regnskabsåret 2001 har givet udtryk for en række bekymringer over Eurostats finansforvaltning,
whereas it highlighted a number of concerns on financial management at Eurostat in its April 2003 discharge resolution on the financial year 2001,
der henviser til, at Kommissionen som følge af Parlamentets fasthed og adskillige forlydender i pressen i foråret 2003 indledte en intern undersøgelse af Eurostat, hvis resultater blev meddelt Parlamentet den 8. juli sammen med en række nødforanstaltninger, inklusive suspension af kontrakter og ledende medarbejdere, mens undersøgelserne pågår,
whereas, as a result of Parliament's insistence and several press reports in the Spring of 2003, the Commission launched an internal investigation into Eurostat, the results of which were communicated to Parliament on 8 July, together with a number of emergency measures, including the suspension of contracts and senior management pending further examination,
der henviser til, at der blev indledt tre parallelle undersøgelser af en intern task force i Kommissionen, den interne revisionstjeneste og af OLAF, og at disse blev forelagt Parlamentet i slutningen af oktober 2003,
whereas three parallel investigations were launched by an internal Commission task force, the Internal Audit Service and OLAF, which were submitted to Parliament at the end of October 2003,
der henviser til, at Kommissionens formand, Romano Prodi, i december 2003 over for Parlamentet i forbindelse med den årlige drøftelse af Kommissionens lovgivningsprogram varslede en handlingsplan, som kommissær Solbes gav mere detaljerede oplysninger om i februar 2004,
whereas President Prodi announced an action plan to Parliament in December 2003 in the context of the annual debate on the Commission's legislative programme, which was further detailed by Commissioner Solbes in February 2004,
der henviser til, at OLAF indtil nu har afsluttet en række undersøgelser af specifikke aspekter af Eurostat-sagen og har fremsendt materiale til anklagemyndigheden i Luxembourg og Frankrig, mens andre sager stadig undersøges,
whereas OLAF has so far concluded a number of investigations into specific aspects of the Eurostat case and forwarded some files to public prosecutors in Luxembourg and France, whilst several dossiers still remain under examination,
erindrer om konklusionerne og henstillingerne i betænkning af Casaca af 29. januar 2004, der hovedsagelig vedrører opfølgning af Eurostat-sagen, og navnlig punkt 16, 25, 32 og 46 om interne informanters ("Whistleblowers") positive rolle i forbindelse med påpegning af problemer, om eksistensen af interne revisionsberetninger, der beskriver ukorrekt finanspraksis og om den dårlige kommunikation og dårlige behandling af sådanne oplysninger i og mellem Kommissionens tjenestegrene, som har medført, at der i årevis ikke blev gjort noget ved dette problem;
Recalls the conclusions and recommendations contained in the Casaca report of 29 January 2004 dealing principally with the follow-up to the Eurostat affair, and in particular paragraphs 16, 25, 32 and 46 thereof on the positive role of whistleblowers in raising concerns, the existence of internal audit reports detailing irregular financial practices and the poor communication and treatment of such information within and across Commission departments resulting in the problem remaining unaddressed for several years;
påpeger navnlig de spørgsmål om politisk ansvar, som dette rejser i sager om finansiel forvaltning og ledelse og kontrolsystemernes svaghed i visse tjenestegrene; mener, at den ændrede adfærdskodeks for kommissionsmedlemmer og disses tjenestegrene bør fastholde princippet om individuelt politisk ansvar for sagsområder;
Points in particular to the issues of political responsibility that this raises in matters of financial and managerial governance and the weaknesses of the control environment in some departments; believes that the revised code of conduct for Commissioners and their departments should enshrine the principle of individual political responsibility for portfolios;
erkender, at problemet er opstået inden 1999, men fastholder, at den nuværende Kommission ikke tilstrækkelig hurtigt tog skridt til at erkende og afhjælpe situationen; gentager sin holdning, at kommissionsmedlemmerne skal spille en mere direkte og præventiv rolle i forbindelse med overvågning af arbejdet i deres tjenestegrene og skal bære ansvaret for både fejl og succeser; har derfor til hensigt at holde den kommende Kommission ansvarlig for såvel forsømmelser som for handlinger;
Recognises that the problems originated prior to 1999, but maintains that action to identify and remedy the situation was not taken swiftly enough by the present Commission; reiterates its belief that Commissioners must have a more direct and proactive role in overseeing the work of their departments and taking responsibility for the failings as much as for the successes; intends therefore to hold the future Commission to account for its omissions as well as its actions;
glæder sig over handlingsplanen for omstrukturering og nyorientering af Eurostat, inklusive annullering af alle kontrakter med berørte parter, intensiveret uddannelse i finansforvaltning, mindskelse af afhængigheden af eksterne kontrahenter, offentliggørelse af statistikker på institutionens hjemmeside og intensiveret samarbejde med nationale statistiske organer; opfordrer desuden Kommissionen til at løse situationen for de mindre underleverandører, der uden egen skyld er berørt af denne sag;
Welcomes the Action Plan for the restructuring and reorientation of Eurostat, including cancellation of all contracts with parties involved, improved training in financial management, the reduction of dependency on external contractors, the free publication of statistics via its internet site and reinforced collaboration with national statistical bodies; urgesthe Commission, in addition, to address the situation of the small sub-contracting firms unintentionally caught up in the affair;
understreger vigtigheden af et fuldt fungerende og uafhængigt organ til bekæmpelse af svig, som skal varetage komplekse og følsomme undersøgelser; gentager sin holdning, at OLAF skal være institutionelt uafhængig af Kommissionen og skal bistås af et organ, der sikrer korrekt retlig overvågning af dets aktiviteter og fortrolighed for og beskyttelse af dem, der undersøges;
Underlines the importance of a fully-functioning and independent anti-fraud body for handling complex and sensitive investigations; reiterates its position that OLAF must have institutional independence from the Commission and be accompanied by a body providing proper legal oversight of its operations and ensuring confidentiality and protection of those under investigation;
finder, at Eurostat-sagen er et alvorligt bagslag for offentlighedens vurdering af Kommissionens administrative reformproces; konstaterer imidlertid, at alle de særskilte aktioner i hvidbogen fra marts 2000 er blevet godkendt; opfordrer Kommissionen til at sikre fuldstændig og omhyggelig gennemførelse i alle dens tjenestegrene, organer og satellitorganer, så situationer, der svarer til den i Eurostat, aldrig mere kan opstå;
Admits that the Eurostat affair represents a serious set-back for public appreciation of the Commission's administrative reform process; recognises, nevertheless, that all of the specific actions from the March 2000 White Paper have been approved; urges the Commission to ensure full and thorough implementation throughout its services, agencies and satellite bodies so that similar circumstances to that of Eurostat can never be repeated;
pålægger sin formand at sende denne beslutning til Kommissionen, Rådet og Revisionsretten.
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and the Court of Auditors.

om opfølgning af Eurostat-sagen
on the follow-up to the Eurostat affair
Europa-Parlamentets beslutning om opfølgning af Eurostat-sagen
European Parliament resolution on the follow-up to the Eurostat affair
der henviser til, at Europa-Parlamentet i princippet har afsluttet Eurostat-sagen med betænkningen om opfølgning af decharge 2001 (betænkning af Casaca, 29. januar 2004),
whereas Parliament in principle concluded its consideration of the Eurostat case in the follow-up to the 2001 discharge (Casaca report of 29 January 2004),
erindrer om, at Eurostat-sagen udviser en slående lighed med den situation, der førte til, at Santer-Kommissionen måtte gå af - nepotisme, interessekonflikter og hemmelige konti; understreger, at uregelmæssigheder og svig har kostet skatteyderne over 6 mio euro, og at dette sandsynligvis kun er toppen af isbjerget;
Recalls that the Eurostat affair bears a striking resemblance to the state of affairs that led to the resignation of the Santer Commission - nepotism, conflict of interests and secret accounts; stresses that irregularities and fraud have cost the taxpayer more than € 6 million and that what has come to light is probably just the tip of the iceberg;
understreger, at sagen har dokumenteret alvorlige problemer i arbejdsmetoderne i både Kommissionen og OLAF;
Stresses that the case has highlighted serious problems in the working methods of both the Commission and OLAF;
støtter i princippet Eurostat-handlingsplanen for 2004 og Kommissionens forslag til en ny OLAF-forordning (10. januar 2004); understreger imidlertid, at Kommissionen ikke har brug for nye bestemmelser - den bør snarere følge de gældende;
Welcomes in principle the Eurostat action plan for 2004 and the Commission proposal for a new OLAF Regulation (10 January 2004); stresses, however, that the Commission does not need new rules – rather it needs to apply the existing ones;
erindrer kommissionsmedlemmerne om, at de bærer ansvaret for fejl begået af ansatte i deres tjenestegrene ("Udvalget af Uafhængige Eksperter", 1999, og adfærdskodeksen for kommissionsmedlemmer, 1999); mener, at kommissionsmedlemmer ikke kan gå fri for ansvar, fordi de ikke fik tilstrækkelige oplysninger;
Reminds the Commissioners that they are responsible for the wrongdoings of officials in their departments (Committee of Independent Experts, 1999 and the Code of Conduct for Commissioners, 1999); considers that Commissioners cannot be relieved of their responsibility because they did not receive enough information;
beklager, at kommissionsmedlemmet med ansvar for Eurostat ikke tog det politiske ansvar og at han ikke af kommissionens formand blev anmodet om at gå af;
Regrets that the Commissioner in charge of Eurostat did not assume political responsibility and that he was not asked to resign by the Commission President;
mener, at både Europa-Parlamentet og offentligheden skal informeres korrekt om opfølgningen af Eurostat-sagen, herunder om, hvordan Kommissionen har til hensigt at undgå, at tilsvarende sager opstår fremover;
Considers that both Parliament and the public need to be properly informed about the follow-up to the Eurostat affair, including how the Commission intends to prevent similar cases arising in the future;

om Kommissionens foranstaltninger med hensyn til Eurostat
on Commission action on Eurostat
Europa-Parlamentets beslutning om Kommissionens foranstaltninger med hensyn til Eurostat
European Parliament resolution on Commission action on Eurostat
der henviser til sin beslutning af 29. januar 2004 om de foranstaltninger, Kommissionen har truffet for at efterkomme bemærkningerne i den beslutning, der ledsager afgørelsen om decharge for gennemførelsen af Den Europæiske Unions almindelige budget for regnskabsåret 2001 (Kommissionen) ( A5-0004/2004 ),
having regard to its resolution of 29 January 2004 on the action taken by the Commission on the observations contained in the resolution accompanying the decision giving discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the 2001 financial year (Commission) ( C5-0004/2004 ),
der henviser til Kommissionens beretning om opfølgning af dechargen for 2001 ( KOM(2003) 651 - C5-0536/2003 ),
having regard to the Commission's report on the follow-up to 2001 discharges ( COM(2003) 651 - C5-0536/2003 ),
der henviser til EF-traktatens artikel 276,
having regard to Article 276 of the EC Treaty,
der henviser til finansforordningens artikel 147,
having regard to Article 147 of the Financial Regulation,
konstaterer, at man i Eurostat i perioden 1999-2003 konstant overtrådte finansforordningen, og at Eurostat-ledelsen hverken reagerede på beretningerne fra de interne revisionsenheder i form af konsekvente foranstaltninger eller umisforståeligt informerede de ansvarshavende inden for Eurostat om de misforhold, der var tale om;
Notes that the Financial Regulation was constantly violated at Eurostat between 1999 and 2003 and that the management of Eurostat neither responded to the reports of the internal audit units by taking decisive action nor informed those in positions of responsibility within Eurostat unambiguously about abuses which had occurred;
konstaterer endvidere, at der ikke er behov for nye forskrifter for i fremtiden at undgå misforhold som dem, der var tale om, men mener snarere, at man skal anvende de gældende bestemmelser, så forvaltningen og de ansvarlige kommissionsmedlemmer bedre kan leve op til deres respektive administrative og politiske ansvar;
Notes, furthermore, that no new rules are required in order to prevent any recurrence of the abuses which have occurred; considers, rather, that existing rules should be applied so that management and the Commissioners responsible can better exercise their administrative and political responsibilities;
opfordrer Kommissionen til enten ved en revision af gennemførelsesbestemmelserne eller ved specifikke lovgivnings-/proceduremæssige foranstaltninger at tage fat på enhver form for påviste svagheder i den nye finansforordning, der kan udsætte EU-budgettet for svig; anbefaler, at eventuelle foranstaltninger overvejes i forbindelse med den forventede revision af OLAF-forordningen;
Calls on the Commission to address, either by a revision of the implementing provisions or by specific legislative/procedural measures, any weaknesses identified in the new Financial Regulation which may expose the Community budget to the risk of fraud; recommends that any such measure be considered in conjunction with the anticipated revision of the OLAF Regulation;
glæder sig over det førsteklasses og grundige arbejde, Kommissionens Interne Revisionstjeneste (IAS)og Eurostats Interne Revisionsenhed (IAC) har udført; finder dog, at de ekstremt lange forsinkelser og Kommissionens modstand og uvilje mod at forelægge disse vitale rapporter for Parlamentet er uacceptabel; opfordrer Kommissionen til at overveje at offentliggøre disse dokumenter i deres helhed, i det mindste i en anonym udgave;
Congratulates the Commission's Internal Audit Service as well as Eurostat's IAC on the quality and thoroughness of their work; finds, however, the extremely long delays, the resistance and the hesitation of the Commission in transmitting these vital reports to Parliament unacceptable; calls on the Commission to consider the full publication of these documents, or at least anonymised versions;
- opgaverne inden for forvaltning, kontrol/tilsyn/overvågning og intern revision skal til enhver tid holdes adskilt,
the tasks of management, verification/supervision/monitoring and internal auditing to be kept separate at all times;
- de revisionsenheder, der arbejder i generaldirektoraterne i snævert samarbejde med Den Interne Revisionstjeneste, skal holde en kommunikationskanal åben og også sende alle deres rapporter til denne afdeling,
the auditing teams working within the directorates-general in close cooperation with the Internal Audit Service (IAS) to keep a channel of communication open and to send all their reports to that department as well;
- informanter skal kunne henvende sig til en instans uden for deres institution for at sikre, at de forbliver anonyme;
whistle-blowers to be able to turn to a body outside their institution, so as to ensure that their anonymity remains intact;
minder om sine følgende konklusioner af Prodis handlingsplan for Eurostat:
Recalls its conclusions from President Prodi's Eurostat action plan, namely that:
