Derfor vil jeg sige til alle dem, der ikke var til stede under budget udvalgets møder, at det var en af grundene til, at vi ikke kunne følge vor ordfører.
The Enlarged Bureau subsequently confirmed its earlier decisions and instructed me to inform the Committee on Budgets that it was prepared to consider a reduction in some of the items so as to stay within the proposed 6-5% increase over last year.
Balfour. — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg glæder mig over at få ordet efter hr. Langes, fordi jeg mener, det er på høje tide, at Parlamentet begynder at forstå min gruppes stilling.
I was also instructed to pass on the requests from the political groups for increases in appropriations for items 3705 — relating to contributions to the secretarial expenses of the political groups — an 3706 — relating to other political activities — and also for the inclusion of a token entry to cover the financing of the publicity campaign for the 1984 European elections.
For når hr. Langes kan sige, at det, at vi er talsmænd for større sparsommelighed i dette Parlament, er en form for udlevering, viser det, at han fundamentalt har misforstået et ærligt og redeligt politisk motiv.
As part of my brief, I attended the meeting of the Committee on Budgets on 23 April at which the overall increase in the budget total for 1982 was cut back, as you already know from Mr Lange, to 5% and the token entry was rejected.
Jeg vil bede ham lytte til det jeg har at sige med den samme værdighed, som jeg lyttede til hans bemærkninger med for et par sekunder siden.
This then is the draft budget that the chairman of the Committee on Budgets has just presented to you.
Vi er i vor gruppe udmærket klar over, at vore tidligere bestræbelser på at gå imöd en stigning i Parlamentets samlede omkostninger er blevet set som et angreb på institutionen selv.
The Enlarged Bureau has given its assent to the changes introduced in the original draft and I am delighted that agreement has been reached.
Der er fremkommet bemærkninger som »puritansk iver« fra hr. Langes side.
I am bound to point out, however, that an overall increase of just under 5% over last year is considerably lower than the average rate of inflation inside the Community.
Selv om dette måske er en uundgåelig reaktion, er den forkert, og det er trist.
Clearly, in these circumstances, any further cutback could mean a supplementary budget during the course of this year.
Det er drivkraften i den fremtidige udvikling af Europas integration.
For one thing, the two-stage examination of the budget estimates provides an opportunity for more detailed discussion.
Vi ønsker ikke at begrænse dette Parlaments beføjelser eller omfang. Der er mange i
In effect, this procedure allows the Bureau to give more careful
Jeg vil gerne gå ind på endnu et punkt, der netop blev fremhævet af ordfører og udvalgsformand Lange.
Mr Dankert. — (NL) Mr President, my Group feels that it can agree to these draft estimates at the moment and I stress, at the moment.
Vi har helt bevidst også foretaget en væsentlig nedskæring i udgifterne vedrørende Parlamentets med lemmer, nemlig med 2,6 mio. ERE, fra 35,6 mio. i 1981 til 33 mio. i 1982!
The reasons why we find them acceptable have in fact already been stated: firstly, the limited percentage increase in expenditure compared with last year's budget, a percentage — as Mr Jacquet has already said — which is well below the average inflation rate in the Community.
Dette, mine damer og herrer, viser tydeligt, at vi ikke blot vil benytte stramme og følelige målestokke over for andre, men netop også over for os selv!
But an equally important reason is that the Enlarged Bureau, which is particularly competent in this field, has decided not to request any additions to the establish ment plan or an increase in the staff.
Vi mener for vor part, at Parlamentet er nødt til at vise, at det kan være ubarmhjertigt strengt med sig selv, før man vil overlade til det at udøve strenghed over for det ekspanderende fællesskabsbudget.
Mr President, it has become clear that three months is too short a time for the Committee on Budgets and the committee's rapporteur to do this, partly because the time was too short and partly because it is always extremely difficult to obtain the necessary information from the administration and the other organs of this Parliament.
Fælles skabet vil ikke gå nedenom og hjem, hvis vi vedtog yderligere 5 % til os selv.
I feel that there is room for a substantial improvement here.
Når et kommissions medlem udnævnes af sin medlemsstat, betales han ikke af medlemsstaten. Men vi mener ikke, at vi burde betales af vore nationale regeringer.
I feel that the publicity surrounding delegations to Bogota and so on have greatly contributed to this.
Lad os forsøge at skaffe plads til sådanne fremtidige udgifter.
For example, item 105, language courses for Members: the costs incurred by Members in connection with these language courses are included in a different item of the budget.
Vi anmoder Parlamentet om at holde pause i bevillingerne, men hovedkampen om arbejdsstedet er stadig tilbage.
Mr President, there is, of course, an obvious way of reducing Parliament's budgetary costs even further.
Vi vil endnu en gang formelt meddele Rådet, at vi af budgetmæssige såvel som af politiske og menneskelige grunde ikke giver op, før Parlamentet har et enkelt og permanent sæde og arbejdssted.
It is not for the Committee on Budgets to do this: it is for Parliament itself to seek an early solution to the question of its seat.
Denne sidste holdning er i overensstemmelse med alt, hvad hr. Lange sagde, med alt, hvad hr. Dankert sagde og med alt, hvad hr. Langes netop har sagt, og det er derfor med tillid, at jeg henstiller til Parlamentet at stemme for.
I believe this is another factor which could substantially reduce the criticism of the size of the budget, which is, of course, largely due to the language problem and the various places of work this Parliament has.
Formanden. — Gruppen af kommunister og beslægtede har ordet.
Mr President, I have already said that my Group approves these draft estimates as they stand.
Gouthier. — (IT) Hr. formand, i år har proceduren for vedtagelsen af Parlamentets budget lige fra første færd vist sig at være ganske særligt forpligtende.
But that is a task, it seems to me, which will undoubtedly keep the Committee and Budgets and the Bureau occupied initially in the coming months and then perhaps in the coming years.
Vor egen popularitet hjemme vil ikke ændre sig hverken til det bedre eller det værre, hvis vi gør det, men ingen i denne sal må glemme, at det vi som Parlament søger at opnå, er noget meget usædvanligt.
Underspending of Parliament's budgetary resources is rather serious compared with the other institutions, with the one exception of the Court of Auditors.
Vi forsøger at overtale udøverne i Fællesskabet til at bruge flere af skatteydernes penge. Normalt er parlamenterne der til at sørge for det stik modsatte.
While we budgeted for 177-3m in 1980, expenditure amounted to 137-8m, a difference of almost 25%, and that naturally means in practice that the administration and the Bureau have plenty of scope to use a budget of this kind in a way that was probably not intended when it was established.
Disse nye midler til finansiering af nye politikker, som vi støtter i denne gruppe, vil kun blive ydet af medlems staterne og givet til en europæisk pulje, hvis man kan stole på, at Kommissionen bruger dem klogt.
In 1979 the situation was the same: 144m budgeted for, 115m spent, a somewhat smaller difference, but still too large both in compariSion with the other European institutions and in absolute figures to be acceptable.
Det er i sidste instans vort ansvar at kontrollere Kommissionen.
I feel the Committee on Budgets must use the time available to it in the coming months to prevent the 1982 budget from resulting in a similar difference between the amounts estimated and the amounts used.
Vort eneste virkelige våben er kontrollen af dens udgifter, og vi vil kun være i stand til at bruge det våben, hvis vi har gjort os fortjente til Europas befolknings respekt.
A significant cause, Mr President, of underspending in past years — accounting for twothirds to three-quarters of this underspending, according to my calculations — has been the poor estimation of staff costs and the unfilled posts in the establishment plan.
For at gøre sig fortjente til denne respekt mener vi, at vi må vise, at vi kan udøve finansiel strenghed over for os selv.
I wonder what the present situation is with regard to the establishment plan.
Om nødvendigt anmoder vi Parlamentet om at overdrive det i den henseende, og det er grunden til, at vi beder Parlamentet støtte os, når vi anmoder om en nul-stigning.
I feel that we of the Committee on Budgets do not yet fully understand this situation, and I believe that the Bureau itself does not fully understand it either.
Vi vil gerne vise verden, at vi er egnede til at over våge et voksende fællesskabsbudget.
It therefore seems to me that a closer look needs to be taken at this aspect before the 1982 budget is finally adopted.
Naturligvis ønsker vi, som hr. Lange, at holde gruppernes udgifter på det nuværende niveau. Vore grupper er allerede velfinansierede.
President. — I call the Group of the European People's Party (Christian-Democratic Group).
Det at flytte rundt mellem tre byer er en forhadt, dyr og demoraliserende proces. Og det puster vort budget op.
In 1980 expenditure amounted to 137-8m EUA, rather less than the amount budgeted for 177m EUA.
For det andet er der stadig mange medlemmer, som er nervøse over vort præsidiums villighed til at stille sig velvilligt og på lige fod i mæglingssituationer med budgetudvalget eller endog med Parlamentet under mødeperioder.
The appropriations estimated for 1982 total 209m, which, if we continue with this theoretical approach, represents an increase by more than 50% in the two years, the new Parliament has been in existence.
Det er indlysende, hvad spørgsmålet i dag består i.
And that is a further reason for examining the contents of the various budget items.
Men den kendsgerning, at Parlamentet er et valgt Parlament, indebærer også den kendsgerning, at Parlamentet må vise sig stadig mere funktionsdygtigt.
This is necessary, and the rapporteur, who has been unable to defend this report, had made a start on an analysis of each individual
Jeg synes, at når vi går løs på spørgsmålet om Parlamentets budget, må undgå to yderliggående indstillinger: på den ene side — og det har vi set også i dag
Mr Langes. — (D) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the European People's Party approves the draft estimates which have been presented by the chairman of the Committee on Budgets, Mr Lange, whose statement has my complete approval.
For det trejde er der stadig flere medlemmer og millioner af mennesker uden for Parlamentet som med forbløffelse ser på vor evne til at overbudgettere for vor egen institution. Vi vil i vor gruppe fortsætte med at forlange præcise forklaringer på denne utilfredsstillende tingenes tilstand.
We feel that although these draft estimates are still unsatisfactory in some respect and cause some uneasiness where one or other item is concerned, it is, in our view, worth while debating these estimates now so that we have the time until October to discuss them in detail with the Bureau.
Gouthier man går frem imod et ensartet vederlag, må man også gå frem imod forenkling og følgelig imod den størst mulige klarhed.
We have, after all — and I should like to quote these figures once again — fixed the draft estimates at 209m EUA in a very fair discussion with the Bureau.
Vi ser, at nogle søger at »leve politisk« rundt om denne emnekreds ved at omryste den og tillige gøre regning på den sygelige nysgerrighed inden for visse områder af offentligheden.
Budgetary honesty forms pan of a budgetary procedure, and we also call on the Commission to give the individual items clearer designations.
Vi har dog tillid til vore muligheder, og vi tror på den pligt, der påhviler os til ligevægtigt at diskutere disse delikate spørgsmål, og vi stoler på, at offentligheden i alle vore lande vil være i stand til at vise forståelse.
I should therefore like to say to all those who were not present at the meetings of the Committee on Budgets that this was one of the reasons why we could not agree with our rapporteur.
De er den klassiske manifestation af nummus unus mere.
On one point, however, Mr Jacquet, I must contradict you.
Vi vil give et præcist og konkret udtryk for, at den nuværende situation er uholdbar både moralsk og juridisk og i henseende til den økonomiske politik og den sunde administration af Parlamentets budget.
In my opinion, paragraph 3 of our motion for a resolution makes it clear that we certainly can discuss further savings in the next few months without this entailing the announcement of a supplementary budget for 1982.
Vi håber, at situationen lidt efter lidt bliver overvundet, idet man tager fat på problemerne om parlamentsmedlem mernes vederlag på en ensartet måde, både hvad angår grundlønnen, og hvad angår f.eks. retten til pension og til lægehjælp.
We have undoubtedly adopted the course, together with the Bureau and fully aware of our responsibility, of submitting to this House draft estimates which, I feel, Members can approve.
Jeg gentager, at vi ikke vil tilskynde til øgede udgifter, fordi vi siger nummus unus, med andre ord én ERE på budgettet, men vi vil give udtryk for hensigter og for en præcis og klar politisk vilje.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are very much in favour of looking at things very closely, of our checking our own activities in particular, but we do not, of course, believe that the Committee on Budgets should become some kind of inquisition where Parliament's administration is concerned.
Formanden. har ordet.
We have nothing at all to hide.
Det gælder så meget desto mere, som den er resultatet af langvarige og vanskelige forhandlinger i udvalget på grund af den meget yderligtgående indstilling, som udvalgets formand, hr. Bonde, følte sig foranlediget til at indtage.
The Bureau has taken a very good decision here, and it has our full support. On the other hand, we have blocked something under 200 posts in 1981 and developed a procedure — and I would ask the President to make this very clear to the Bureau once again — under which the Bureau and the Committee on Budgets proceed very carefully in releasing these 1981 posts, the object being to achieve the much sought after transparency in this area too.
Hvis dette er et yderliggående standpunkt, som må afvises, forekommer det mig, at der er et andet lige så yderliggående standpunkt, der bør tilbagevises nemlig den indstilling, at budgettet, således som det er struktureret, stort set er udmærket, den indstilling, at man stort set bare kan fortsætte på samme måde, blot man hist og her foretager en retouchering af underordnet betydning.
I believe we can do this together. In other words, the Committee on Budgets is proposing — and I fully endorse this on behalf of my Group — that the expansion of Parliament's administration should be progressively submitted to a close examination and effected with the necessary transparency, because we are, of course, aware that we have gradually grown to not inconsiderable proportions.
Men Parlamentets budget må nødvendigvis forny sig under hensyn tagen til to fundamentale spørgsmål: det første er spørgsmålet om dets hjemsted, og det andet er spørgsmålet om den juridiske og økonomiske behandling af de enkelte parlamentsmedlemmer.
So this makes it clear that, if we adopt paragraph 3 of our motion for a resolution, we are prepared to reduce Parliament's budget to a reasonable level.
Det er rigtigt, at der var brug for større strenghed i forhold til tidligere år.
Mr Dankert has just referred to the difference between actual and planned expenditure.
Og hvad oplever vi så?
Of course, there is some disparity in this respect.
Det skal videre bemærkes, at der ikke er regnet med oprettelse af nye stillinger, og at man kun har accepteret omdannelser af stillinger inden for rammerne af normale karriereforløb.
Perhaps there was too much of a vacuum, if I may put it that way, in Parliament's budget again last year, but is it really such a bad thing for there to be a difference between actual and planned spending under our budgets?
Rent faktisk og i betragtning af inflationen vidner dette budget, der er resultatet af virkeligt samråd mellem præsidiet og budgetudvalget, ikke kun om berettigede ønsker om besparelser, men det er faktisk udtryk for en besparelse i forhold til forrige år.
Surely not, otherwise we would have to tell Parliament's administration to keep up the spending so that its actual expenditure was about the same as planned expenditure, because then it will be praised by Parliament for submitting correct estimates.
Det er dog rigtigt, at der i de kommende år bør gøres en indsats for at opnå bedre overensstemmelse mellem overslagene og udgifterne, og vi vil tro, at det, der er foreslået for 1982, udgør et væsentligt skridt i den rigtige retning.
We must not allow a situation in which thrifty officials are, as it were, punished afterwards on the principle that they have misguided us.
Spørgsmålet om parlamentsmedlemmernes juridiske og økonomiske behandling er sikkert i første række et moralsk spørsmål, fordi der — som vi ved — til ensartetheden i præstationer, pligter og arbejde svarer en dyb uensartethed i de nationale løn-grundlag.
But there is another kind of criticism that is levelled at Parliament's budget, and I would ask the members of the Conservative Group to be very careful they are not confused with those who seek to attack Parliament as a whole through their criticism of its budget and merely want to expose our Parliament to the public.
Men hvad dette angår, er der også et problem om økonomisk moral, et problem om budgettets gennemskuelighed, et problem om troværdighed over for offentligheden.
As a German Member I know only too well from history how in the years from 1930 to 1933 the National Socialists under Hitler pilloried the freely elected Reichstag of the German people, calling it a talking shop which did nothing but spend money.
Vi ved, at der på de nationale vederlags stamme indpodes et system, der består af en vrimmel af forskellige godtgørelser.
Their aim was to attack the democratic institution, and it is here, ladies and gentlemen, that we must make a distinction.
Derfor mener vi, at når
We approve these estimates.
Der er ikke tale om at spare for besparelsernes skyld i tilfælde, hvor aktiviteterne — ikke mindst Europa-Parlamentets udenlandske repræsentationer — udgør en del af de for en korrekt funktion uundværlige opgaver.
Of course we want to put an end to political tourism, as he put it, and our position on these subjects has been made quite clear in committee, but the priorities have not changed since the days of Robert Jackson and Mr Ansquer.
Men det er nødvendigt, at folk forstår værdien af en sådan indsats, hvilket igen nødvendiggør, at der fra Parlamentets side nøje bliver redegjort for den.
Mr Balfour. — Mr President, I am delighted to take the floor after Mr Langes, because I think it is high time this House began to understand the position of my Group.
Endvidere skal tjenesterejser, der er henlagt til steder uden for Fællesskabet, forberedes i alle enkeltheder, ikke mindst på det finansielle plan, hvilket måske ikke altid har været tilfældet.
For Mr Langes to say that our advocacy of greater economy for this Parliament is a way of pillorying it is profoundly to misunderstand an honourable and decent political motive.
Bonde. — Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne starte med en ubehagelig påstand: blandt alle, som tager ordet i dag, er der ikke nogen, der ved, hvad de taler om.
First, the two-line reference by the Maastricht Council seeking to maintain the status quo on Parliament's seat was shameful.
Der er ingen i denne sal, som kender indholdet i de konti, der nu skal behandles.
Moving between three cities is a hated, expensive and demoralizing exercise.
Jeg burde være nærmest til at vide noget.
And it bloats our budget.
Det burde være et hul i min uvidenhed efter tre måneders intenst arbejde med budgettet, men det eneste, jeg ved, er, at ingen ved noget.
Secondly, there are still many Members who are nervous about the willingness of our Bureau to engage sympathetically and on equal terms in conciliation with the Committee on Budgets, or even with the House in partsession.
Den liberale og demokratiske gruppe stemmer altså for budgetoverslaget og afviser de stillede ændrings forslag, der i sidste ende vil indebære en ødelæggelse af det kompromis, der efter en omfattende indsats har kunnet opnås mellem præsidiet og budgetudvalget.
Thirdly, there are still more Members and millions of people outside this House who look in amazement at our capacity for over-budgeting our own institution.
Denne samrådsindsats tillægger vi nemlig den allerstørste betydning.
We in our Group shall continue to demand precise explanations for this unsatisfactory state of affairs.
Formanden. — De europæiske fremskridtsdemokraters gruppe har ordet.
We are well aware in our Group that our efforts in the past to speak out against an increase in the overall costs of this Parliament have been seen as an attack on the institution itself.
Det fremlagte budgetforslag skjuler meget mere, end det viser.
We, in our Group, believe very deeply in the validity and the importance of this institution.
De fleste andre konti er oplyst på en sådan måde, som fru Hammerich sagde, at hvis en dansk minister fremsatte et tilsvarende forslag til finanslov i dag, så ville han ikke være finansminister i morgen.
There are a large number of us in this House who believe that the significance of the Community should be enormously increased, and we as an institution are asking for new own resources. We want new policies and we want a better balanced budget.
Det er derfor, at jeg på min gruppes vegne har stillet nogle ændringsforslag for at få genindført præsidiets budget.
For our part, we believe that Parliament has to show that it can be ruthlessly tough with itself before it will be trusted to be tough with an expanding Community budget.
Jeg tror, at det vil være den eneste gode og ægte diskussionsmetode.
The Community will not go broke if we vote ourselves an extra 5%.
Lad mig give nogle få eksempler på de elementære oplysninger, jeg ikke har kunnet få som ordfører.
However, we are not all of us only in favour of cuts.
Vi ved alle fra vore kontorer, at skriveborde, skrivemaskiner, diktafoner og alt andet inventar omhyggeligt forsynes med et metalnummer.
For instance, we believe in principle that this institution should pay its own Members' parliamentary salaries.
Vi ved, at Parlamentet råder over godt 2800 kontorer i 25 bygninger, men en kontorfortegnelse over, hvem der sidder hvor, har vi ikke kunnet få.
When a Commissioner is appointed by his Member State, he is not paid by his Member State.
Vi ved, at præsidiet taler om tilbageholdenhed med ansættelser og bevillinger.
Well, we do not believe that we should be paid by our national governments.
Det står oven i købet på tryk.
Let us try to make room for such future expenditure.
Det betyder, at det budgetforslag, som er forelagt, reelt ikke er noget budgetforslag, men et checkhæfte, som administrationen og præsidiet får lov til at bruge los af næste år, som de har brugt pengene indtil nu. ^
This last posture is consistent with everything that Mr Lange said, with everything that Mr Dankert said and with everything that Mr Langes has just said, and it is therefore with confidence that I recommend it to the House.
Der er ikke rimeligt at indlede en forhandling som denne og give sig vor forsamlings modstandere i vold, idet det åbner vejen for alskens demagogi.
Our own popularity back home will not change for the better or the worse if we do so; but let no one in this room forget that what we are seeking as a Parliament is something very unusual.
Selvfølgelig kan man altid finde ud af, at der er blevet brugt for mange penge, men det skal siges klart, hvem der er de ansvarlige.
We are trying to persuade the executive in the Community to spend more of the taxpayer's money.
Vi vælger de formænd og næstformand, der tilsammen udgør præsidiet.
Normally parliaments are there to do the very opposite.
