opfordrer Kommissionen til snarest at træffe foranstaltninger til at afskaffe systemet med eksportrestitutioner, der er for let at misbruge; venter, at Kommissionen forelægger en tidsplan over, hvornår dette er muligt; opfordrer Rådet til at støtte det i ønsket om at afskaffe eksportrestitutionerne i offentlighedens interesse;
Calls on the Commission to take prompt measures to abolish the system of export refunds, which is prone to abuse; looks to the Commission to put forward a timetable for this process; calls on the Council to support Parliament in its efforts to secure the abolition of export refunds, in the interests of the public;
glæder sig over Kommissionens foranstaltninger på landbrugsområdet med henblik på at stoppe den ganske vist lovlige, men etisk uacceptable mulighed for med eksportrestitutioner at støtte eksport af landbrugsprodukter til en af de ti nye medlemsstater for efterfølgende at transportere disse produkter tilbage til oprindelseslandet efter disse staters tiltrædelse;
Welcomes the measures taken by the Commission in the agricultural sphere to halt the use of export refunds to support the legal, but ethically unacceptable, practice of importing agricultural products into one of the 10 new Member States and transporting those products back to their country of origin following the accession of those Member States;
OLAF's årlige aktivitetsberetning og informationspolitikken
OLAF's annual activities report and its information policy
er utilfreds med OLAF's årlige aktivitetsrapport for den periode på 12 måneder, der slutter den 30. juni 2003, da den nævnte aktivitetsrapport ganske vist indeholder en række tabeller og grafer og forskellige konkrete eksempler, men ikke giver mulighed for en samlet vurdering af resultaterne og effekten af OLAF's undersøgelser;
Is disappointed with OLAF's annual activity report for the year ending June 2003, because, although it contains a large number of tables and diagrams and some examples of specific cases, it does not facilitate an overall assessment of the results and the success of the investigations carried out by the Anti-Fraud Office;
beklager navnlig, at den vel nok vigtigste sag i referenceperioden - Eurostat-sagen - endog specifikt er holdt ude af rapporten;
Regrets, in particular, that probably the most important case during the reporting period - the Eurostat case - was actually expressly omitted from the report;
kritiserer, at den valgte referenceperiode fra midten af året til midten af året vanskeliggør en generel sammenligning med Kommissionens årsberetning til beskyttelse af Fællesskabets finansielle interesser unødigt; kræver derfor, at referenceperioderne samordnes;
Criticises the fact that the reporting period selected, from mid-year to mid-year, makes it unnecessarily difficult to gain an overall comparative view in conjunction with the Commission's annual report on the protection of the Community's financial interests; calls therefore for the reporting periods to be brought into line with each other;
, og kritiserer, at dette ikke er sket i 2003;
; criticises the fact that this was not done in 2003;
kritiserer endvidere, at oversigtstabellerne konsekvent ændrer format, hvilket gør det umuligt at følge sager over flere referenceperioder; slår derfor fast, at oversigtstabellerne for fremtiden skal indeholde følgende kolonner: CMS (Case Management System)-nummer og modtagelsesdato, berørt organ/virksomhed, sigtelse/mistanke, evaluering: påbegyndt-afsluttet, undersøgelse: påbegyndt-afsluttet, aktuel status, mulig økonomisk skade, anbefalede konsekvenser, disciplinær procedure/strafferetlig procedure/geninddrivelse; faktiske konsekvenser og resultaterne af disse;
Also criticises the fact that the summary tables are constantly changing format, which makes it impossible to follow cases over several reporting periods; makes it clear therefore that, in future, the summary tables must show the following columns: CMS (Case Management System) number and date of entry, organisation/company concerned, allegation/suspicion, evaluation: beginning-end, investigation: beginning-end, current status, possible financial loss; recommended follow-up: disciplinary proceedings/criminal proceedings/recovery; actual follow-up and result;
konstaterer, at interne informationer i OLAF ved flere lejligheder er blevet videregivet til pressen; konstaterer endvidere, at OLAF den 27. marts 2002 offentliggjorde en pressemeddelelse, hvori det bl.a. blev anført, at der ville blive indledt en intern undersøgelse, og at denne også ville komme ind på påstanden om, at dette dokument blev modtaget efter betaling af en tjenestemand http://europa.eu.int/comm/anti_fraud/press_room/pr/2002/2002_03_en.html.
Notes that internal OLAF information was passed to the press on several occasions; also notes that OLAF published a press release on 27 March 2002 which, among other things, explained that an internal investigation was being launched and that "it is not excluded that payment may have been made to somebody within OLAF ... for these documents" http://europa.eu.int/comm/anti_fraud/press_room/pr/2002/2002_03_en.html.
; henviser til, at en journalist ved et tysk ugeskrift, der havde offentliggjort flere artikler om OLAF-sager, derpå følte sig bagtalt og klagede til Ombudsmanden;
; a journalist working for a German weekly magazine, in which several articles concerning OLAF cases had appeared, felt that he had been libelled and lodged a complaint with the European Ombudsman;
beklager at måtte konstatere, at OLAF's udtalelse har vist sig at være en udokumenteret påstand, der i juni 2003 fik Ombudsmanden til at anbefale, at OLAF skulle overveje at tilbagetrække de påstande om bestikkelse, der var offentliggjort, og som ville kunne forstås som rettet mod klageren http://www.europarl.ep.ec/ombudsman/recommen/en/021840.html.
Notes that OLAF's opinion has proved to be an untenable assertion, which prompted the Ombudsman to recommend in June 2003 that "OLAF should consider withdrawing the allegations of bribery that were published and that were likely to be understood as directed at the complainant" http://www.europarl.ep.ec/ombudsman/recommen/en/021840.html
; beklager, at OLAF ikke har fulgt denne henstilling, men i en pressemeddelelse af 30. september 2003 har gentaget mistanken om, at der kunne være tale om bestikkelse , og blot har erklæret, at der "hidtil" ikke har foreligget beviser for, at der er udbetalt penge.
; regrets the fact that OLAF has not acted on that recommendation, but instead has repeated, in a press release dated 30 September 2003, that there is suspicion of bribery, stating merely that no evidence had come to light 'thus far';
erindrer om, at kontorets undersøgelser kun kan indledes ved begrundet mistanke, og at de i henhold til OLAF-forordningens artikel 6 skal gennemføres uopholdeligt i en periode, som skal stå i et rimeligt forhold til sagens omstændigheder; anmoder Overvågningsudvalget for OLAF om en udtalelse om, hvorvidt der i denne sag er sket en overtrædelse af forskrifterne, og om undersøgelserne muligvis er blevet brugt til at sætte journalister under pres eller til at intimidere disse;
Points out that OLAF may open investigations only in cases where suspicions are properly founded and that, pursuant to Article 6 of the OLAF regulation, such investigations must be conducted continuously over a period proportionate to the circumstances; calls on the OLAF Supervisory Committee to deliver an opinion as to whether these provisions have been breached in this case and as to whether the investigation may have been misused to exert pressure on or intimidate journalists;
Revision af OLAF-forordningen (EF) nr. 1073/1999
Revision of the OLAF Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999
minder om, at Kommissionens formand den 18. november 2003 meddelte, at der ville blive stillet lovgivningsforslag, som Parlamentet og Rådet kunne vedtage inden valget til Europa-Parlamentet, for at yde et bidrag til at genoprette offentlighedens tillid, der er blevet ødelagt af 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 contributing to restoring public confidence, which was destroyed by the Eurostat affair;
minder om ovenstående beslutning af 4. december 2003 om evaluering af OLAF's arbejde, hvori det støttede Kommissionens formands ønske om at prioritere OLAF's kerneopgaver højere, forbedre informationsstrømmen mellem OLAF og institutionerne, sikre de involveredes ret til et forsvar og styrke OLAF-Overvågningsudvalgets rolle;
Recalls its abovementioned resolution of 4 December 2003 on evaluating OLAF's work, in which it supported the Commission President's announcement of giving greater priority to OLAF's core tasks, improving the flow of information between OLAF and the institutions, doing more to safeguard the rights of defence of persons under investigation and enhancing the role of the OLAF Supervisory Committee;
stiller sig uforstående over for, at Kommissionen har fremsendt situationsrapporten efter OLAF-forordningens artikel 15 med mere end et års forsinkelse og efter vedtagelsen af Europa-Parlamentets ovennævnte beslutning af 4. december 2003 at Kommissionen har brugt næsten mere end to måneder, inden den vedtog en relevant forslagspakke den 10. februar 2004 ( KOM(2004) 103 ); konstaterer, at det på grund af denne forsinkelse er blevet næsten umuligt at foretage en forbedring af OLAF-forordningen inden valget til Europa-Parlamentet;
Cannot understand that the Commission has forwarded the progress report pursuant to Article 15 of the OLAF Regulation more than one year late and, following the adoption of Parliament's abovementioned resolution of 4 December 2003, that the Commission took over two months to adopt a package of proposals on 10 February 2004 (COM(2004) 103); notes that this delay has made it impossible to improve the OLAF Regulation before the European elections;
konstaterer, at Kommissionens lovgivningsforslag til dels går i den rigtige retning, men at følgende punkter er helt uacceptable og næsten må betragtes som en provokation:
Notes that the legislative proposals submitted by the Commission point to some extent in the right direction but that the following points are totally unacceptable and must almost be regarded as provocation;
i stedet for at foreskrive, at OLAF endelig i fuldt omfang skal varetage de kerneopgaver inden for interne undersøgelser, det har forsømt i så lang tid, giver Kommissionens forslag nu udtrykkeligt OLAF mulighed for at give afkald på interne undersøgelser, selv i tilfælde af at der foreligger tilstrækkelig mistanke om tilfælde af svig, bestikkelse eller andre ulovlige handlinger til skade for Fællesskabets finansielle interesser
instead of stipulating that OLAF should finally carry out to the full extent its long-neglected core task of internal investigations, the Commission's proposal expressly offers OLAF the possibility of not opening internal investigations even when there is sufficiently strong suspicion that acts of fraud or corruption or other illegal acts have been committed to the detriment of the financial interests of the Community;
i stedet for administrativt at henlægge sekretariatet for OLAF-Overvågningsudvalget til Europa-Parlamentets Generalsekretariat foreslår Kommissionen nu en administrativ henlæggelse under Kommissionens sekretariat, hvorved der sættes spørgsmålstegn ved Overvågningsudvalgets uafhængighed
instead of assigning the secretariat of the OLAF Supervisory Committee administratively to the secretariat of the European Parliament, the Commission now proposes that the secretariat should be administratively assigned to the Commission, thereby calling into question the independence of the Supervisory Committee;
i stedet for at styrke rettighederne for personer, der er involveret i en intern undersøgelse, fratages de den hidtidige mulighed efter OLAF-forordningen for at klage til Domstolen, såfremt OLAF som led i undersøgelserne udsteder en akt, der indeholder et klagepunkt imod dem, hvilket åbner døren på vid gab for magtmisbrug (f.eks. indledning af undersøgelser uden tilstrækkeligt grundlag, uforholdsmæssig lang varighed af undersøgelser), fordi sådanne forhold for fremtiden ikke er underlagt domstolsprøvelse;
instead of strengthening the rights of persons subject to an internal investigation, they are to be deprived of the possibility hitherto provided by the OLAF Regulation to appeal to the European Court of Justice, if OLAF, in the course of its investigations, acts in a way which adversely affects them; this would open the floodgates to abuses of power (e.g. opening an investigation without sufficient grounds, inordinately long investigations) as such offences would no longer be subject to the scrutiny of a court;
om Kommissionens kontrol og inspektion på stedet med henblik på beskyttelse af De Europæiske Fællesskabers finansielle interesser mod svig og andre uregelmæssigheder, hvilket kunne forsinke vedtagelsen i Rådet; er af den opfattelse, at de mangler, der er blevet konstateret i forbindelse med anvendelsen af ovenstående forordning, skal afhjælpes ved en direkte ændring af denne forordning og ikke ad omveje via en ændring af OLAF-forordningen;
concerning on-the-spot checks and inspections, which could delay its prompt adoption by the Council; takes the view that the shortcomings revealed in the application of the above Regulation should be remedied by directly amending that Regulation and not indirectly by amending the OLAF Regulation;
understreger, at de nugældende bestemmelser i OLAF-forordningen skal overholdes strengt i overgangsperioden;
Emphasises that during the intervening period the current provisions of the OLAF regulation must be strictly applied;
bekræfter i denne forbindelse navnlig, at OLAF's direktør i henhold til forordningens artikel 10 udtrykkeligt er forpligtet til at fremsende informationer til de retslige myndigheder om forhold, der kan føre til strafferetlig forfølgning; understreger på ny, at forordningen ikke giver direktøren nogen skønsbeføjelse på dette punkt (punkt 16 i beslutningen af 4. december 2003 om evaluering af OLAF's aktiviteter), men at afgørelsen udelukkende ligger hos de kompetente nationale retslige myndigheder;
Emphasises in particular, in that connection, that Article 10 of the OLAF regulation explicitly requires the Director of OLAF to forward to the judicial authorities information liable to result in criminal proceedings; stresses once again that the regulation does not confer any discretionary powers on the Director in this regard (paragraph 16 of its resolution of 4 December 2003 on the evaluation of the activities of OLAF), but leaves the decision entirely in the hands of the competent national judicial authorities;
henviser igen til punkt 18 i sin beslutning af 4. december 2003, hvorefter der sker størst prioritering af undersøgelser på områder, hvor der fra national side ikke har været udvist særlig interesse, eller hvor der nationalt ikke er kompetence, altså undersøgelser internt i organerne og institutionerne og i forbindelse med de udgifter, Kommissionen forvalter direkte; bekræfter, at undersøgelser på de anførte områder principielt skal gennemføres efter de strenge forskrifter for interne undersøgelser, fordi der i disse sager også skal foretages en undersøgelse af EU-tjenestemænds mulige indblanding eller mulige forsømmelser;
Emphasises once again the substance of paragraph 18 of its resolution of 4 December 2003, which states that priority must be given to investigations in those areas where the national authorities have no particular interest or no powers, that is to say investigations within the institutions and agencies and in connection with activities administered directly by the Commission; stresses that investigations in those areas must, as a matter of principle, be conducted in accordance with the strict rules governing internal investigations, because in such cases possible involvement or negligence on the part of EU employees has to be investigated;
erindrer om, at budgetmyndigheden har forsynet OLAF's stillingsfortegnelse, der for 2004 omfatter i alt 329 stillinger, med følgende anmærkning: "Heraf 80 stillinger til interne undersøgelser i overensstemmelse med artikel 4 i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1073/1999.
Points out that the budgetary authority appended the following remark to the OLAF establishment plan, which authorises a total of 329 posts for 2004: "Of which 80 posts for internal investigations pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999.
Undersøgelserne samles i et særdirektorat"; forventer, at OLAF afslutter den ønskede interne omorganisering inden juli 2004;
These investigators are to be grouped together within a special directorate"; looks to OLAF to complete the requisite internal reorganisation by July 2004 at the latest;
erindrer om, at OLAF af og til kommer i avisen i forbindelse med undersøgelser uden for Fællesskabet (f.eks. mulig forkert anvendelse af støtte til det palæstinensiske selvstyre), men at der ikke er noget specifikt retsgrundlag for sådanne undersøgelser; kræver, at dette spørgsmål bliver taget op i forbindelse med den tilstræbte forbedring af OLAF-forordningen;
Points out that OLAF sometimes makes headlines with investigations outside the Community (e.g. on the possible misuse of aid payments to the Palestinian National Authority); calls for this matter to be dealt with as part of the proposed revision of the OLAF regulation;
er meget bekymret over den tendens, der er i Retten i Første Instans til at afvise klager fra tjenestemænd og andre ansatte over OLAF, når de respektive OLAF-undersøgelser ikke har ført til straf efter en disciplinær undersøgelse; erindrer om, at artikel 14 i OLAF-forordningen udtrykkeligt foreskriver en prøvelse af lovligheden af foranstaltninger, som kontoret træffer som led i en intern undersøgelse, uden at knytte konkrete betingelser hertil; opfordrer Kommissionen til at lade det komme klart til udtryk i fremtidige sager ved Retten i Første Instans, at det har været lovgivers hensigt at yde de berørte personer en pålidelig retsbeskyttelse allerede i undersøgelsesperioden;
Takes note of a tendency on the part of the Court of First Instance, in its rulings, to reject actions brought by officials and other servants against OLAF as inadmissible if the relevant OLAF investigations have not led to the imposition of disciplinary penalties; points out that Article 14 of the OLAF regulation explicitly provides for judicial review of measures taken by OLAF as part of an internal investigation, without laying down specific conditions governing such a review; calls on the Commission to point out clearly in future proceedings before the Court of First Instance that it had been the intention of the legislator to offer to persons concerned a reliable protection under the rule of law already during the period of investigation;
anmoder det nyvalgte Parlament om at prioritere revisionen af OLAF-forordningen fra september 2004;
Asks the newly elected Parliament to make the revision of the OLAF Regulation a matter of priority as of September 2004;
Bedrageribekæmpelse i Den Europæiske Centralbank og Den Europæiske Investeringsbank
Combating fraud in the European Central Bank and the European Investment Bank
minder om Domstolens dom af 10. juli 2003 (sag C-11/00 og C-15/00), hvorefter OLAF-forordning (EF) nr. 1073/1999 finder anvendelse på Den Europæiske Centralbank og Den Europæiske Investeringsbank;
Recalls the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Communities of 10 July 2003 (Cases C-11/00 and C-15/00), ruling that the OLAF Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 is applicable to the European Central Bank and the European Investment Bank;
opfordrer de to banker til nu uden yderligere forsinkelser at træffe afgørelse efter OLAF-forordningens artikel 4 om OLAF's interne undersøgelser og gennemføre standardafgørelserne om interne undersøgelser;
Calls on both banks, without delay, to take the decisions provided for in Article 4 of the OLAF Regulation concerning internal OLAF investigations and to implement the standard decision on internal investigations;
gør opmærksom på, at de to banker, også uden en sådan afgørelse om OLAF's interne undersøgelser, efter OLAF-forordningens artikel 7 er forpligtet til straks at give OLAF alle oplysninger om eventuelle tilfælde af bedrageri eller korruption eller andre retsstridige handlinger;
Draws attention to the fact that, even without such a decision on internal OLAF investigations, both banks are required, pursuant to Article 7 of the OLAF Regulation, to forward to OLAF without delay any information relating to possible cases of fraud or corruption or any other illegal activity;
er af den opfattelse, at de to banker straks skal indgive hidtil ikke-indgivne meddelelser, så OLAF kan få et omfattende billede af alle tilfælde af uregelmæssigheder og svig, der er forekommet i de to banker siden oprettelsen af OLAF i 1999; forventer, at OLAF senest i september 2004 forelægger en beretning herom;
Takes the view that both banks must, without delay, make the notifications they have so far failed to do, so that OLAF obtains a comprehensive picture of all cases of irregularity and fraud which have occurred in the banks since OLAF was set up in 1999; expects OLAF to submit a report on this subject by September 2004 at the latest;
mener, at Domstolens domme analogt også finder anvendelse på Den Europæiske Investeringsfond, og opfordrer Investeringsfonden til at træffe de nødvendige afgørelser;
Takes the view that the judgments of the Court of Justice apply, mutatis mutandis, to the European Investment Fund as well; calls on the Investment Fund to take the requisite decisions;
konstaterer, at Kommissionen mellem 1998 og første halvår af 2003 har udbetalt ca. 115 mio. EUR til de fem vigtigste internationale rådgivningsvirksomheder, idet to af disse fem virksomheder modtog mere end 77 mio. EUR, dvs. mere end to tredjedele af midlerne; gør opmærksom på, at disse angivelser åbenbart kun vedrører udgifter forvaltet direkte af Kommissionen, og opfordrer Kommissionen til at udarbejde en statistik, der også indeholder oplysninger om betalinger af fællesskabsudgifter, der ikke direkte forvaltes af Kommissionen, navnlig under strukturfondene;
Notes that, between 1998 and the first half of 2003, the Commission paid a sum of almost EUR 115 million to the five most important international consultancies; two of these five companies received more than EUR 77 million, i.e. more than two thirds of the money ; points out that these figures clearly relate only to expenditure directly administered by the Commission; calls on the Commission to compile statistics which also contain details of payments involving Community expenditure not directly administered by the Commission, in particular under the Structural Funds;
minder om det dårlige indtryk, som tildelingen af en kontrakt til konsortiet "ASCII" til en samlet værdi af 23 mio. EUR i 2002 har efterladt, fordi en talsmand i Kommissionen, der på daværende tidspunkt var på orlov af personlige årsager, også profiterede heraf Ifølge oplysninger i Agence Europe af 30. september 2002, punkt 29.
Recalls the bad impression left by the award in 2002 of a contract to the ASCII consortium with a total value of EUR 23 million because a Commission spokesman, who at the time was an official granted leave of absence "on personal grounds", had profited therefrom According to information published by Agence Europe, 30 September 2002, point 29
