Kritikken af Den Europæiske Revisionsrets funktionsmåde vil ingen ende tage.
Criticism of the way in which the European Court of Auditors operates continues unabated.
Den centrale beskyldning lyder således: Revisionsretten kan kun kontrollere den korrekte anvendelse af budgetmidlerne fra EU's budget, men ikke den økonomiske forsvarlighed eller sågar hensigtsmæssigheden i den forbindelse.
The central criticism is that the Court of Auditors can only verify that appropriations from the EU budget are being used properly, but not whether they are used economically or even whether they have a point.
I forskellige EU-medlemsstater har revisionsretterne dog disse hensigtsmæssige kompetencer, f.eks. i de tyske delstater og i Østrig.
However, in several Member States of the European Union, including in German federal states or in Austria, Courts of Auditors have these useful powers.
Er det ifølge Rådet muligt at gå aktivt ind på dette område og gøre Revisionsretten tilsvarende professionel?
Can the Council envisage taking action in this area and professionalising the Court of Auditors?
Anser Rådet det i den forbindelse for nødvendigt at ændre traktaterne, eller kan en tilsvarende reform af Revisionsretten også gennemføres på anden vis?
Does the Council consider that an amendment to the treaties is needed in this connection, or can reform of the Court of Auditors be carried out in a different way?
Revisionsretten reviderer regnskaberne over samtlige Unionens indtægter og udgifter i overensstemmelse med artikel 287, stk. 2, i traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde, ifølge hvilken Revisionsretten skal efterprøve lovligheden og den formelle rigtighed af indtægterne og udgifterne og sikre sig, at den økonomiske forvaltning har været forsvarlig.
The Court of Auditors examines the accounts of all revenue and expenditure of the Union in accordance with Article 287(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which provides that the Court is to examine whether all revenue has been received and all expenditure incurred in a lawful and regular manner and whether the financial management has been sound.
Der kan kun træffes afgørelse om eventuelle ændringer af traktaterne i overensstemmelse med procedurerne i artikel 48 i traktaten om Den Europæiske Union.
Any amendment to the treaties can only be decided in conformity with the procedures set out in Article 48 of the EU Treaty.

Om: Kapring af momsnumre
Subject: Hijacking of VAT numbers
En forhandler- og detailhandlersammenslutning i Malta har rapporteret grænseoverskridende sager med momssvig, hvor forretningsfolk svigagtigt køber varer i udlandet (fra andre medlemsstater?) under en anden persons momsnummer for at undgå beskatning.
A retailers’ and traders’ union in Malta has reported cross-border cases of VAT fraud whereby businessmen are fraudulently buying goods from abroad (from other Member States?) under someone else’s VAT number in order to evade tax.
Det maltesiske finansministerium har også rapporteret, at momsafdelingen undersøger ni tilfælde af kapring af momsnummer, som denne praksis kaldes, mens et andet tilfælde er givet videre til politiet.
The Maltese Finance Ministry has also reported that the VAT Department is investigating nine cases of VAT number hijacking, as this practice is referred to, whilst another case was passed on to the police.
Undersøgelser af sådanne tilfælde er kendt for ikke at være så ligetil og involverer samarbejde mellem skattemyndigheder fra forskellige medlemsstater.
Investigations of such cases are known to be not so straightforward and involve the cooperation of tax authorities from different Member States.
I mellemtiden fører denne praksis til, at forhandlere forsynes med momsgrundlag for varer, som de aldrig har importeret, og til en situation, hvor ulovlige forhandlere underbyder lovlydige virksomheder.
In the meantime this practice is leading to a number of traders being issued with VAT assessments for goods they never imported and to a situation where illegal traders are undercutting legitimate businesses.
Er Kommissionen bekendt med denne svindel?
Is the Commission aware of this fraudulent practice?
Hvilke foranstaltninger, bl.a. gennem Kommissionens strategigruppe til bekæmpelse af skattesvig (ATFS) og OLAF, har Kommissionen til hensigt at iværksætte for at imødegå dette problem?
What measures, including through the Commission’s Anti-Tax Fraud Strategy (ATFS) expert group and OLAF, does the Commission intend to take to counter this problem?

Om: Partnerskab for freds finansiering af Conflicts Forum
Subject: Partnership For Peace funding of Conflicts Forum
I 2007 bevilgede Kommissionen et partnerskab for fred-tilskud på 500 000 EUR til projektet »From Crisis to Opportunity – Inclusive Approaches to the Arab-Israeli Conflict« (Fra krise til mulighed — vidtfavnende strategier i den arabisk-israelske konflikt).
In 2007 a Partnership for Peace grant of EUR 500 000 was awarded by the Commission to the project ‘From Crisis to Opportunity — Inclusive Approaches to the Arab-Israeli Conflict’.
Tilskuddet, der dækkede en toårs periode, blev tildelt Oxford Research Group (ORG), Middle East Policy Initiative Forum (MEPIF) og Conflicts Forum i fællesskab.
The grant, which covered a two-year period, was awarded jointly to the Oxford Research Group (ORG), the Middle East Policy Initiative Forum (MEPIF) and Conflicts Forum.
Conflicts Forum anfører, at dets mål er at skabe en ny relation mellem Vesten og den muslimske verden.
Conflicts Forum states that it ‘aims to open a new relationship between the West and the Muslim world’.
Men konferencedokumenter og strategipapirer afslører, at Conflicts Forum søger at støtte og fremme terrororganisationer og navnlig Hamas og Hezbollah.
However, conference documents and strategy papers reveal that Conflicts Forum seeks to support and promote terrorist organisations, and in particular Hamas and Hezbollah.
I en rapport angående en workshop afholdt i 2007 anførte Conflicts Forum behovet for en formulering af Hamas' og Hezbollahs værdier og filosofi, og at organisationen skulle være mere proaktiv i udtalelser og omformulere prædikener for at fokusere på de positive aspekter af islamisk ideologi.
In a report regarding a 2007 workshop, Conflicts Forum stated the need for the ‘articulation of Hamas’ and Hezbollah’s values, and philosophy’ and that it should be ‘more proactive in statements and re-phrasing discourse to focus on the positive aspects of Islamist ideology’.
I den samme rapport anfører Conflicts Forum også, at den institutionaliserede racisme i idéen om en tostatsløsning skal gøres tydelig.
In the same report, Conflicts Forum also stated that it ‘needs to expose the institutionalized racism of the two-state solution concept’.
Var Kommissionen bekendt med indholdet af disse rapporter fra Conflicts Forum?
Was the Commission aware of the content in these reports by Conflicts Forum?
Kommissionen har anført, at den finansierer specifikke projekter og ikke ngo'er, men hvor trækkes linjen?
While the Commission has stated that it funds specific projects and not NGOs, where is the line drawn?
Hvordan kan det retfærdiggøres at yde bistand til ngo'er, som giver moralsk støtte til internationale terroristgrupper, herunder Hamas, der er forbudt af EU og fordømmer grundlæggende EU‑holdninger omkring Mellemøsten såsom tostatsløsningen?
How can it justify providing funds to NGOs which offer moral support to international terrorist groups, including Hamas which is banned by the EU, and speak out against core EU positions on the Middle East such as the two-state solution?
Kan Kommission give garanti for, at den ved bevilling af tilskud til fremtidige projekter ikke vil yde tilskud til ngo'er, der har sådanne synspunkter og støtter sådanne holdninger?
Can the Commission provide guarantees that, when allocating funding for future projects, it will not provide grants to NGOs which hold such views and support such positions?

Om: Mord med forbindelse til den spanske virksomhed Unión Fenosa
Subject: Assassinations connected to the Spanish company Unión Fenosa
I sidste måned sendte to spanske ngo'er, IEPALA (Instituto de Estudios Políticos para América Latina y África) og AIETI (Asociación de Investigación y Especialización sobre Temas Iberoamericanas) et brev på vegne af CIFCA (Iniciativa de Copenhague para Centroamérica y México) til den spanske premierminister, José Zapatero, hvori de opfordrede ham til at gribe ind over for mordene med forbindelse til Unión Fenosa, som er et spansk gas- og elselskab.
Last month, two Spanish NGOs, IEPALA (Instituto de Estudios Políticos para América Latina y África) and AIETI (Asociación de Investigación y Especialización sobre Temas Iberoamericanas), sent a letter on behalf of CIFCA (Iniciativa de Copenhague para Centroamérica y México), to the Spanish Prime Minister, Mr José Zapatero, urging him to take action in the wake of assassinations connected to Unión Fenosa, a Spanish gas and electricity company.
Den 25. oktober 2009 blev Víctor Gálvez skudt ved højlys dag, da han forlod sit arbejde.
On 25 October 2009, Víctor Gálvez was shot dead in broad daylight as he was leaving work.
Gálvez var en guatemalansk fagforeningsleder, der ledte agitationen mod overtrædelserne af arbejdsrettighederne begået af DEOCSA, som er en lokal underafdeling af Unión Fenosa.
Gálvez was a Guatemalan trade union leader who led the agitation against labour violations committed by DEOCSA, a local subsidiary of Unión Fenosa.
Den 13. januar 2010, mindre end tre måneder efter Gálvez' død, skete der i Guatemala endnu et mord på en af landets samfundsledere, Evelinda Ramírez Reyes.
Less than three months after Gálvez’s death, on 13 January 2010, Guatemala saw yet another assassination of one of its community leaders, Evelinda Ramírez Reyes.
Ramírez Reyes var medlem af fronten til beskyttelse af og kamp for de naturlige ressourcer (FRENA), en gruppe der har indgivet klager angående DEOCSA's overdrevne renter.
Ramírez Reyes was a member of the Natural Resources Protection and Resistance Front (FRENA), a group that had filed complaints about DEOCSA’s excessive rates.
Disse mord udgør grove krænkelser af menneskerettighederne og er et alvorligt slag mod det guatemalanske samfund, hvis struktur i forvejen er truet af landets manglende sociale samhørighed.
These murders represent gross human rights abuses and strike at the heart of Guatemalan society, whose fabric is already threatened by the country’s lack of social cohesion.
I landestrategidokumentet for Guatemala for 2007 til 2013 bemærker Kommissionen dette problem og udpeger social samhørighed og menneskers sikkerhed som et af EU's interventionsområder.
In the Guatemala Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for 2007 to 2013, the Commission notes this problem, naming social cohesion and human security as one of the sectors for EU intervention.
Desuden udpeger landestrategidokumentet menneskerettigheder som et af de tværgående emner, der indarbejdes via dets implementering.
Furthermore, the CSP names human rights as one of the cross-cutting themes that will be mainstreamed throughout its implementation.
Hvilke konkrete skridt vil Kommissionen i lyset af sin erklærede forpligtelse om at forbedre Guatemalas menneskerettighedssituation tage efter Gálvez' og Ramírez' død?
Given the Commission’s manifest commitment to improving Guatemala’s human rights situation, what concrete actions will it take in the aftermath of Gálvez’s and Ramírez’s deaths?
Ifølge John Ruggie, FN's generalsekretærs særlige repræsentant for menneskerettigheder og tværnationale selskaber, er moderselskabers oprindelseslande ansvarlige for at sikre, at datterselskaber i udlandet udviser respekt for menneskerettigheder.
According to John Ruggie, the UN Special Representative of the Secretary General on human rights and transnational corporations, parent companies’ countries of origin are responsible for ensuring that subsidiaries abroad demonstrate respect for human rights.
Hvordan vil Kommissionen da tvinge den spanske regering til at a) presse på for en grundig undersøgelse af disse mord og b) opfordre til, at forbrydelserne indbringes for Guatemalas menneskerettighedsdomstol?
How, then, will the Commission compel the Spanish Government to a) press for a thorough investigation of these assassinations, and b) urge that the crimes be brought before Guatemala’s Court of Human Rights?
Vil Kommissionen endvidere øremærke nogle af de 135 mio. EUR, der er bevilget til Guatemala for 2007 til 2013, til at sikre, at rettighederne for samfundsaktivister såsom Gálvez og Ramírez beskyttes i udstrakt grad i fremtiden?
Finally, will the Commission earmark any of the EUR 135 million allocated for Guatemala for 2007 to 2013 towards making sure that the rights of community activists, such as Gálvez and Ramírez, enjoy ample protection in the future?

Om: Massakre i Colombias fredsorganisation San José de Apartadó
Subject: Massacre in Colombia's Peace Community of San José de Apartadó
I februar 2005 trængte medlemmer af den colombianske hær og den paramilitære gruppe United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia ind i fredsorganisationen San José de Apartadó og massakrerede brutalt fem voksne og tre børn.
In February 2005, members of the Colombian army and the paramilitary group United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia entered the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó and brutally massacred five adults and three children.
Fredsorganisationen blev dannet i 1997 af landsbyboere, der erklærede sig neutrale i den væbnede colombianske konflikt.
The Peace Community was formed in 1997 by villagers declaring themselves to be neutral in the Colombian armed conflict.
I december 2009 blev 10 soldater stillet for den colombianske nationale menneskeretsenhed for deres deltagelse i massakren.
In December 2009, 10 soldiers were tried before Colombia's National Human Rights Unit for their participation in the massacre.
Ud over at bekræfte, at blodsudgydelserne blev udført af den colombianske hær sammen med paramilitære, har rettens vidneudsagn afsløret chokerende detaljer omkring drabet af to små børn, der formodes at være Natalia, 5 år gammel, og Santiago, 18 måneder gammel.
Apart from confirming that the bloodshed had been carried out by the Colombian army in concert with paramilitaries, the trial's testimonies revealed shocking details surrounding the killing of two small children, presumed to be Natalia, 5-years old, and Santiago, 18-months old.
Ifølge vidnesbyrd fra Henry de Jesús Palomino, en tidligere paramilitær, beordrede en major fra den colombianske hær to paramilitære til at dræbe de små børn, efter at deres forældre var blevet hakket ihjel af macheteslag, med den begrundelse, at de senere ville forårsage problemer.
According to the testimony of Henry de Jesús Palomino, an ex-paramilitary, a major from the Colombian army ordered two paramilitaries to kill the small children after their parents had been hacked to death by machete blows, insisting they would cause problems later on.
San José de Apartadó-massakren er endnu et eksempel på de grove krænkelser af menneskerettighederne, som det colombianske civilsamfund regelmæssigt udsættes for.
The San José de Apartadó massacre is yet another example of the gross human rights abuses to which Colombian civil society is regularly subjected.
Fredsorganisationen har ikke blot lidt under tabet af sine medlemmer, men er blevet yderligere truet af beskyldninger om, at den skulle fungere som ly for FARC-guerillaer – en påstand, der ikke er nogen beviser for.
The Peace Community has not only suffered from the human loss of its members but has been further endangered by accusations that it serves as a haven for FARC guerrillas — a claim for which there is no evidence.
Som anført i Kommissionens landestrategidokument for Colombia har Det Europæiske Fællesskab i 2007 øremærket 160 mio. EUR til Colombia for perioden fra 2007 til 2013, en hjælp som ifølge Kommissionen vil koncentrere sig om fred og stabilitet, retsstatsprincippet, retfærdighed og menneskerettigheder.
In 2007, as stated in the Commission's Colombia Country Strategy Paper (CSP), the European Community earmarked EUR 160 million for Colombia for the period from 2007 to 2013, assistance that, according to the Commission, would concentrate on peace and stability, rule of law, justice and human rights.
I det samme landestrategidokument besluttede Kommissionen at yde bistand til Colombias voldsofre, idet den anså, at det var en moralsk og humanitær forpligtelse.
In the same CSP, the Commission resolved to provide assistance to Colombia’s victims of violence, deeming it to be ‘a moral and humanitarian obligation’.
Et af målene med denne bistand er at hjælpe samfund, der er berørt af den interne konflikt.
One of the aims of this assistance is to ‘provide support for communities affected by the internal conflict’.
I lyset af EU's erklærede forpligtelse til at fremme fred, stabilitet og menneskerettigheder i Colombia, hvilke specifikke foranstaltninger agter det at træffe på dette område?
Given the EU’s stated commitment to promoting peace, stability, and human rights in Colombia, what specific measures does it plan to take in this matter?
Vil det afsætte nogle af de øremærkede 160 mio. EUR som bistand til fredsorganisationen San José de Apartadó?
Will it allocate any of the earmarked EUR 160 million to providing assistance to the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó?
I bekræftende fald, hvilke specifikke aktiviteter og serviceydelser vil pengene blive brugt til?
If so, what specific activities and services will the money be used for?

Om: Adgang til forsikringsmuligheder for håndværkere og små og mellemstore virksomheder i byggebranchen som tilskyndelse til innovation og fremme af grønne teknologier i EU
Subject: Access to insurance by small, medium and craft enterprises in the building sector to stimulate innovation and the promotion of eco-technologies in the European Union
Alle er enige om, at byggesektoren, herunder SMV'er, mikrovirksomheder og håndværksvirksomheder, spiller en afgørende rolle for fremskridtet inden for energibesparelser og vedvarende energikilder.
Everyone agrees that the building industry and, in particular, SMEs, including micro-enterprises and craft enterprises, play a leading role in promoting energy savings and the development of renewable energies.
Men udbredelsen af disse nye teknologier hæmmes af de vanskeligheder, SMV'erne og de helt små virksomheder støder på i forbindelse med adgang til forsikring, fordi forsikringsselskaberne nægter at forsikre disse nye teknologier.
However, uptake of the new technologies is being restricted by the difficulties encountered by very small firms — and SMEs in general — in obtaining insurance, as the insurance companies refuse to guarantee the new technologies in question.
Europa-Parlamentet har taget denne problematik alvorligt og godkendt en budgetpost foreslået af Budgetudvalget, der opfordrer til at mobilisere et finansielt fællesskabsinstrument.
The European Parliament became involved in this issue by voting for a budget line proposed by the Committee on Budgets to encourage the deployment of a Community financial instrument.
Dette instrument vil give forsikringsselskaberne en sikkerhed, som kan formindske nævnte risici, og mindre og helt små virksomheder samt håndværksvirksomheder mulighed for uden ekstraudgift at yde den nødvendige garanti på grønne energiprodukter under hensyntagen til national praksis.
This instrument would provide insurance companies with a guarantee so as to reduce the risks involved, thus enabling small and craft firms to offer, at no additional cost, the requisite guarantees relating to products in the eco-technology sector in line with national practice.
