Elmar Brok er en velkendt politisk figur.
Mr Brok is a well-known political figure.
Der er rejst sigtelse mod ham i forbindelse med et beløb og under omstændigheder, der i en almindelig borgers tilfælde ville have givet anledning til rent administrative procedurer.
Criminal charges have been brought against him in respect of a sum and in circumstances which would, in the case of an ordinary citizen, have attracted merely administrative proceedings.
Endvidere har statsadvokaten ikke blot forsøgt at tilbageholde viden om sigtelsen fra Elmar Brok på et falsk og stærkt nedsættende grundlag uden nogen gyldig grund, men sørget for, at sagen har fået stor omtale i medierne, hvilket har påført det pågældende medlem størst mulige skade.
Moreover, the public prosecutor not only sought to withhold knowledge of the charge from Mr Brok on spurious and highly derogatory grounds for no due cause, but made sure that the case received great publicity in the media, this inflicting the maximum amount of damage on the Member concerned.
Det er således klart, at der i denne sag er tale om et tilfælde af fumus persecutionis, i og med at det lader til, at sagen blev anlagt med det ene formål at skade det pågældende medlems omdømme.
It is therefore plain that the case is one of fumus persecutionis in that it appears that the proceedings were brought with the sole aim of damaging the reputation of the Member concerned.
Det ville derfor under disse omstændigheder være helt urimeligt at ophæve medlemmets immunitet.
In these circumstances, it would be completely inappropriate to waive the Member’s immunity.
På grundlag af ovenstående betragtninger, i henhold til artikel 7, stk. 2, i forretningsordenen og efter at have overvejet argumenterne for og imod ophævelse af medlemmets immunitet anbefaler Retsudvalget, at Parlamentet afviser anmodningen om ophævelse af Elmar Broks parlamentariske immunitet.
In the light of the foregoing considerations, and pursuant to Rule 7(1) and (2) of the Rules of Procedure, after having considered the arguments for and against waiving immunity, the Committee on Legal Affairs recommends that the European Parliament reject the request to waive the parliamentary immunity of Mr Elmar Brok.

Spørgeskema til kandidater til hvervet som medlem af Revisionsretten
Questionnaire for Candidates for Membership of the Court of Auditors
Efter afslutningen af minejurastudier (mit andet fag var nationaløkonomi) påbegyndte jeg straks mit arbejde i Østrigs overordnede revisionsorgan ( Rechnungshof ).
After completing my law studies (my subsidiary subject being economics), I immediately started work for the Austrian Court of Audit.
Her reviderede jeg fra 1974 til 1979 de østrigske socialforsikringsorganer.
From 1974 until 1979 I audited the accounts of Austria’s social insurance funds.
I 1979 indledte jeg mit arbejde i parlamentet som medarbejder for ÖVP’s medlemmer, men jeg er indtil nu forblevet medlem af Rechnungshof .
In 1979 I started to work in Parliament as a member of staff of the ÖVP party’s Parliamentary Party, but have remained a member of the Austrian Court of Audit to this day.
Til mine opgaver i parlamentet hørte den overordnede ledelse såvel i teknisk (navnlig lovgivningsmæssig) som i politisk henseende, for så vidt angik Rechnungshof -udvalget, udvalget for arbejde og sociale anliggender, sundhedsudvalget, det udenrigspolitiske udvalg, videnskabsudvalget, økonomiudvalget, forfatningsudvalget, industriudvalget og ombudsmandsudvalget.
My responsibilities at Parliament comprise all aspects of management, both technical (primarily legislative) and political, of the Committee on the Court of Audit, the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, the Health Committee, the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Science Committee, the Economic Affairs Committee, the Constitutional Affairs Committee, the Industry Committee and the Committee on the Ombudsman Board.
En vigtig del af mit arbejde var også aktiviteter i forbindelse med undersøgelsesudvalg.
Another important element in my work has been assisting committees of inquiry.
Da spørgsmål om korrekt regnskabsførelse – ud over strafferet – af naturlige årsager udgjorde størstedelen af arbejdet i et sådant udvalg, var det her på glimrende måde muligt for mig at anvende og videreudvikle de erfaringer, jeg havde erhvervet i den østrigske Rechnungshof.
As – besides the criminal law – issues relating to correct conduct are naturally the main subject of such a committee’s inquiries, this gave me excellent opportunities to use, and to further develop, the experience I had gained at the Austrian Court of Audit.
Ud over mine hovedaktiviteter i parlamentet var jeg også intensivt aktiv på andre forfatnings- og forvaltningsområder.
In addition to my main work at Parliament, I was also intensively occupied in other constitutional and administrative fields.
Jeg var i flere år medlem af kommissionen for reform af de grundlæggende rettigheder, af regional- og kabelradiomyndigheden, af privatradiomyndigheden, af forbundsvalgmyndigheden og i mange år formand for databeskyttelsesrådet.
For years, I was a member of the Fundamental Rights Reform Commission, the Regional and Cable Broadcasting Authority and the Private Broadcasting Authority, as well as being Chair of the Data Protection Council for many years.
Derudover varetog jeg som politisk direktør for gruppen koordineringen mellem ÖVP-Gruppen, forbundsregeringen, forbundspartiledelsen, ÖVP’s gruppe i landdagen og partiafdelingerne i delstaterne.
As political director of the ÖVP parliamentary party I was responsible for coordination between the ÖVP Parliamentary Party, the Federal Government, the federal party leadership, the ÖVP groups in the Regional Assemblies and the regional party sections.
Desuden omfattede mine opgaver planlægning og samlet analyse samt pressearbejde.
Political planning and overall analysis and relations with the press were also among my responsibilities.
Desuden deltog jeg efter ÖVP’s indgåelse i regeringen i 1986 i alle forhandlinger om koalitionsregeringsprogrammer og spillede en ikke ubetydelig rolle i samtaler på områderne arbejde og sociale spørgsmål samt sundhed, og jeg deltog medbestemmende i formuleringen af de respektive arbejdsprogrammer.
After the ÖVP joined the government in 1986, I took part in all the negotiations on the respective coalition government programmes, played a role of some importance in such negotiations in the fields of employment and social affairs and health, and was among the decision-makers responsible for formulating the government’s programme of work.
De væsentligste mål i mine samlede aktiviteter indtil nu, har – i overensstemmelse med den østrigske forfatnings mål for regnskabsførelse - frem for alt været inden for den offentlige økonomiske forvaltning at fremme korrekthed, effektivitet, hensigtsmæssighed og sparsommelighed, gennem reformer på alle områder, hvor jeg kunne øve indflydelse.
The principal objectives of my work to date have been to promote correct public conduct, lawfulness, sound financial management, efficiency and economical use of resources – the constitutional objectives of the management of public funds as laid down by Austria's Federal Constitution – by means of reforms in all the fields in which I was able to wield any influence.
På grundlag af mine årelange revisionsaktiviteter inden for de østrigske socialsikringsorganers egenforvaltning har jeg opnået intensiv intern viden om disse institutioners problemer, både på det forvaltningstekniske, men også på det materielle område, navnlig inden for pensions- og sygeforsikring, men også ulykkesforsikring.
As a result of my many years of work as an auditor in the field of the self-administration of Austria’s social insurance funds, I gained an intensive internal knowledge of the problems facing these institutions both from the point of view of administration and in the substantive/legal field, particularly with regard to pensions and health insurance, but also with regard to accident insurance.
Efter skiftet til det faglige, men også politiske beslutningsplan i det østrigske parlament og som kompetent politisk ansvarlig for nationalråds- og forbundsrådsafgørelser blev det muligt for mig at anvende min viden på langsigtede afgørelser om reformforanstaltninger vedrørende både indholdsmæssige og organisatoriske problemstillinger.
After moving on to work at the Austrian Parliament, where I was concerned not only with technical but also with political decision-making, and being responsible for technical and political decisions in the relevant committees of the two Houses of Parliament, I had the chance to use my knowledge to contribute to decisions on reforms with implications for the future concerning both substantive and organisational issues.
Således har jeg været medbestemmende i forbindelse med alle pensionsreformer siden 1986, navnlig de to seneste reformer.
For example, I have participated in decision-making on all the pension reforms since 1986, particularly the two most recent major reforms.
Med disse sidstnævnte kunne finansieringen af det østrigske pensionssystem sikres på lang sigt, og den store harmonisering af alle pensionssystemer, som man havde stræbt efter i årtier, kunne gennemføres.
These made it possible to secure the long-term financing of the Austrian pension system and to attain a significant objective which had been aspired to for decades, namely harmonisation of all the pension systems.
Derudover lykkedes det også efter flere års drøftelser med en omfattende strukturreform at sammenlægge arbejdstagernes pensionskasser til en enkelt pensionskasse, hvorved der blev realiseret en mængde synergi og besparelsespotentialer.
In addition, after years of debate, it proved possible to merge employees’ pension funds into a single organisation by means of a comprehensive structural reform, thus bringing about numerous synergies and savings.
Ligeledes blev den længe tilstræbte ligestilling mellem arbejdere og funktionærer på store arbejdsretlige områder gennemført under min medvirken.
The long sought-after goal of placing blue-collar and white-collar workers on an equal footing in large areas of employment law was attained with my assistance.
En vigtig del af mine erhvervsmæssige aktiviteter i de forløbne årtier udgjorde imidlertid også det østrigske databeskyttelsesråd, som er et uafhængigt rådgivende organ under forbundsregeringen i spørgsmål om databeskyttelse.
Another body which has bulked large in my work for decades was the Austrian Data Protection Council, an independent consultative body which advises the Federal Government on data protection.
I mine mange år som formand kunne jeg sikre, at der i dette organ næsten ikke opstod uenighed, men at alle politiske grupper, interessegrupper og myndigheder trak i samme retning, og at næsten alle afgørelser blev truffet enstemmigt.
During my many years as Chair, I was able to largely put an end to the political wrangling within the Council and persuade all political factions and representatives of different interests and of local authorities to join forces, so that nearly all decisions were unanimous.
Dermed lykkedes det mig at holde databeskyttelsen i Østrig fri for politisk uenighed og på trods af alle samfundsmæssige forskelle at udforme databeskyttelsesrådets afgørelser, så de var acceptable for alle.
In this way I succeeded in keeping data protection free of political debate in Austria and to obtain decisions by the Council which were acceptable to all, irrespective of social disparities.
Denne udvikling medførte, at databeskyttelsen og med den databeskyttelsesrådet ikke blot opnåede en større samfundsmæssig accept, men også en større politisk, og at rådets betydning løbende blev øget.
As a result of this development, data protection and the Data Protection Council itself came to enjoy ever greater acceptance not only in society but also at political level, so that it continuously gained in significance.
I de seneste år er databeskyttelsesrådets henstillinger i øget omfang også ført direkte over i National- og Forbundsrådets lovgivning.
In recent years, the recommendations of the Data Protection Council have therefore also more than previously found their way directly into the legislation passed by the two Houses of Parliament.
Medieområdet har også været en vigtig del af mit hidtidige professionelle liv.
The media have been another focus of my professional career to date.
Som medlem af den nyetablerede regional- og kabelradiomyndighed, og af privatradiomyndigheden var jeg i slutningen af 1990’erne med til at betræde helt nye juridiske veje i Østrig.
As a member of the then newly founded Regional and Cable Broadcasting Authority and of the Private Broadcasting Authority, I was among those who, in the late 1990s, found themselves entering what, until these authorities were established, had been a legal terra incognita in Austria.
Under min medvirken i disse myndigheder lykkedes det først at liberalisere radiomarkedet og fordele licenser og frekvenser til private udbydere for senere at følge efter med tv.
With my participation in these authorities, it proved possible first to liberalise the radio market and to issue licences and assign frequencies to private radio broadcasters, after which it was the turn of private television.
For mig var dette en milesten i liberaliseringen af mediemarkedet i Østrig, og det var derfor meget interessant og en udfordring at kunne deltage i denne udvikling i forreste linje.
For me, this was a milestone in the liberalisation of the media market in Austria, and it was therefore extremely interesting and challenging for me to participate in this development in a highly prominent position.
Denne pligt er ikke ny for mig, da jeg allerede skulle opfylde dette krav om uafhængighed som medlem af den østrigske Rechnungshof .
This requirement is nothing new to me, given my career, because I have already had to maintain my independence as a member of the Austrian Court of Audit.
Desuden har jeg haft ledende stillinger i institutioner, hvor uafhængig udøvelse af hvervet ligeledes var og er af stor betydning.
In addition, I have held – as I continue to do – senior posts in institutions where it was likewise very important that I should perform my duties independently.
Jeg er helt bevist om, at Revisionsrettens handlekraft og respekt og troværdighed i offentligheden afhænger af medlemmernes klare uafhængighed og upartiskhed og deraf følgende troværdighed.
I am fully aware that in order for the Court of Auditors to be able to act effectively and enjoy public esteem and credibility, it must be demonstrably independent and impartial and its Members must be credible in this respect.
Naturligvis vil jeg som medlem af Den Europæiske Revisionsret strengt overholde traktatens bestemmelser og adfærdskodeksen for medlemmer af Revisionsretten og udføre mit arbejde korrekt, uden ekstern påvirkning.
Naturally, as a Member of the Court of Auditors, I would strictly comply with the relevant provisions of the Treaty and the Code of Conduct for Members of the Court of Auditors and would do my work correctly, without external influence.
I Østrig anvendes ikke denne procedure.
There is no such procedure in Austria.
Jeg er naturligvis rede til at oplyse Rettens formand om alle finansielle interesser og andre forpligtelser samt offentliggøre disse oplysninger?
Naturally I should be perfectly happy to inform the President of the Court of all my financial interests and other commitments and to make them public.
Jeg har ikke længere sådanne poster eller hverv.
I no longer hold any such offices or perform any such functions.
Bekæmpelse af bedrageri- og/eller korruptionssager samt grove uregelmæssigheder i regnskabsførelsen i EU er særlig vigtigt for EU-borgernes tillid til EU’s institutioner.
Combating cases of fraud and/or corruption and dealing with major irregularities in the conduct of the EU’s affairs is extremely important in order for European citizens to have confidence in the EU Institutions.
Skulle der blive tale om bedrageri eller korruption eller en anden form for ulovlig handling i forbindelse med en revision, som jeg er ansvarlig for, vil jeg videregive mine oplysninger til Rettens formand og informere Det Europæiske Kontor for Bekæmpelse af Svig.
If fraud or corruption or any other illegal actions were to come to light during an audit for which I was responsible, I would tell the President of the Court what I knew and inform OLAF.
Det ville ikke gøre nogen som helst forskel for mig, hvis de berørte kom fra Østrig.
To me it would make absolutely no difference if the parties concerned came from Austria.
Skulle der i forbindelse med behandlingen af disse alvorlige ulovligheder vise sig det mindste tegn på eller den ringeste formodning om, at jeg ikke vil kunne handle upartisk, vil jeg overdrage sagsbehandlingen til andre og ikke udøve mine beføjelser på dette område.
If while taking action against these serious irregularities there was even the slightest appearance or suspicion that I might be unable to act impartially, I would pass the case on to somebody else and refrain from exercising my powers in this respect.
Kendetegnet for økonomisk forvaltning bør navnlig være de udførende organers bevidsthed om, at de skal handle lovligt og formelt korrekt, og at de i den forbindelse skal sikre ansvarsfuld anvendelse af de offentlige midler, de har til rådighed.
The prime feature of a sound financial management culture should be an awareness on the part of the bodies responsible that they must act lawfully and correctly and that they must ensure that the public funds available to them are used responsibly.
Denne bevidsthed bør fremmes og sikres på alle trin og i alle instanser i den offentlige forvaltning.
Strong measures should be taken to develop this awareness in all parts of the public administration.
Økonomisk forvaltning er imidlertid ikke blot at sikre korrekt arbejde, men også sparsommelighed og effektivitet.
However, sound financial management does not only mean ensuring that action is lawful: it must also be economical, financially efficient and effective.
For at sikre gennemførelse af disse principper ikke blot ex post, men også ex ante er der behov for en effektiv og intensiv revision.
In order to enforce these principles not only ex post but also ex ante, efficient and intensive monitoring of conduct is required.
Derfor har Den Europæiske Revisionsrets opgaver også særlig betydning for sikring af effektivitet i den økonomiske forvaltning.
For this reason, the duties of the Court of Auditors are also of particular significance with a view to maintaining sound financial management.
Men samtidig bør kontrolsystemernes funktion på alle planer sikres i form af enten interne eller eksterne revisioner.
At the same time, however, the functioning of monitoring systems must be ensured at all levels, whether in the form of internal or external audits.
En kontrol af opfølgningen, for så vidt angår afhjælpning af konstaterede uregelmæssigheder, er efter min mening særlig vigtig.
A review of the follow-up with regard to remedying undesirable developments which have been identified is particularly important, in my view.
Finansforvaltningen og kontrollen af opfølgningen må den eksterne og interne kontrol gensidigt afstemme efter hinanden, og resultatet af disse aktiviteter bør meddeles den politiske institution, der har stillet de kontrollerede midler til rådighed.
Monitoring of sound financial management and monitoring of the follow-up must be coordinated by external and internal auditors, and the result of these activities should be reported to the political institution which has provided the funding being audited.
Jeg kommer fra et land, hvor Rechnungshof som øverste organ er et organ under Nationalrådet, hhv. landdagene til kontrol med de offentlige midler.
I come from a country where the Court of Audit, as the highest body, acts on behalf of the Lower House of Parliament and of the regional assemblies to audit the use of public funds.
