Hver dag var der kun omkring to T1-forsendelser, som ikke blev afsluttet i Berg.
Only two T1 procedures per day finished somewhere other than in Berg.
Som det var tilfældet med Ungarn, var der også en bilateral aftale med Slovakiet, ifølge hvilken der blev givet forudgående meddelelse om transporter af følsomme varer.
As with Hungary, there was also a bilateral agreement with Slovakia under which consignments with sensitive goods were notified by each country to the other.
På spørgsmål af Kellett-Bowman, Schlechter, Bardong, König, De Luca, Perry og Kjer-Hansen gav Drescher og de tilstedeværende speditører følgende oplysninger:
In reply to questions by Mr Kellett-Bowman, Mr Schlechter, Mr Bardong, Mr König, Mr De Luca, Mr Perry and Mrs Kjer-Hansen, the following information was provided by Mr Drescher and the import-export agents present:
For ca. 5-10% af transporternes vedkommende blev der foretaget visuel kontrol af lasten.
Physical inspections of consignments were carried out in about 5 to 10% of cases.
Slovakiske toldere tjente omtrent 2.000-2.500 Schilling om måneden, hvorimod en østrigsk tolder tjente mellem 20.000 og 25.000 Schilling. Hvorvidt denne lønforskel bevirkede øget korruptionsrisiko, kunne dog ikke vurderes.
The salary of a Slovakian customs official was between 2 000 and 2 500 Austrian schilling per month. That of an Austrian counterpart was about 20 000 to 25 000 schilling.
En mere effektiv kontrol lod sig kun virkeliggøre med mere personale og datamatisering af systemet.
More effective checks would only be possible with extra staff and computerization of the system.
Ganske vist var der efter bortfaldet af kontrollen ved grænseovergangene til Italien og Tyskland blevet frigjort personale, men af sociale årsager var det vanskeligt at forflytte toldere fra Østrigs vestgrænse til landets østgrænse.
With the ending of border controls with Italy and Germany, staff had of course been released. It was however difficult for social reasons to relocate staff from Austria's western to its eastern borders.
Speditørerne oplyste, at udvidelsen af forsendelsesordningen til også at omfatte Visegrad-landene endnu ikke havde manifesteret sig i praksis.
The import-export agents stated that the extension of the transit system to the Visegrad States had to all intents and purposes still not happened.
I tilknytning til drøftelsen fik medlemmerne lastbilekspedition foregik på grænsetoldstedet.
Subsequent to the discussion, the processing of private motor vehicles in the border customs post was demonstrated to Members.
Besøget på grænsetoldstedet blev afsluttet kl. 16.45.
The customs post inspection was concluded at 4.45 p.m.
Kl. 8.30 blev undersøgelsesudvalgets delegation modtaget af den østrigske finansminister, Klima.
The delegation was received at 8.30 a.m. by the Austrian Finance Minister, Mr Victor Klima.
Denne redegjorde først for hovedlinjerne i den østrigske budgetpolitik med henblik på opfyldelsen af kriterierne for Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union.
The minister began by outlining the main components of Austrian finance policy in terms of complying with the criteria for economic and monetary union.
I lighed med situationen på nationalt plan måtte der også udvises sparsommelighed fra Den Europæiske Unions side.
Just as savings had to be made at national level, it was equally important that they be secured at the level of the European Union.
Undersøgelsesudvalget kunne medvirke til at inddrive de penge, der var mistet på grund af bedragerier.
The committee could contribute by helping to stamp out loss of revenue due to fraud.
De Luca takkede på udvalgets vegne for modtagelsen.
Mr De Luca expressed the committee's thanks for the reception.
Herefter stillede Kellett-Bowman og Kjer-Hansen spørgsmål.
Mr Kellett-Bowman and Mrs Kjer-Hansen asked questions.
Den østrigske regering ville iværksætte følgende foranstaltninger til bekæmpelse af bedragerier:
The Austrian government was taking the following measures to combat fraud: acquiring Xray equipment for inspecting road haulage vehicles; introducing a compatible computerized system; setting up mobile rapid reaction units to conduct extra internal checks; improving security at external borders; cooperation between Gendarmerie and customs units;
Klima henviste desuden til, at småsmugleriet af cigaretter og spiritus var et langt større problem end bedragerier i forbindelse med forsendelsesordningen.
Mr Klima also pointed out that petty smuggling of cigarettes and alcohol was a more serious problem than transit system fraud.
På grund af smugleriet var der i Østrig tale om en nedgang i efterspørgslen efter cigaretter og spiritus i en størrelsesorden af 1 mia Schilling.
Smuggling was responsible for an annual shortfall in Austria of 1 billion schilling in sales of cigarettes and alcoholic beverages.
Kl. 9.45 åbnede De Luca mødet med repræsentanter for det østrigske handelskammer og speditionsbranchen.
At 9.45 a.m. Mr De Luca opened the meeting with representatives of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce and import-export agents.
Det østrigske handelskammers direktør for toldlovgivningsspørgsmål, Heher, henviste til, at der ikke siden 1973 havde været noget tilfælde af provenutab for den såkaldte samlede sikkerhedsstillelses vedkommende.
The Chamber's director for customs legislation, Dr Heher, said that under the composite guarantee scheme there had been no instances of losses since 1973.
Forsendelsesordningens udvidelse til Visegrad-landene var endnu ikke sket i praksis, da de nødvendige gennemførelsesbestemmelser endnu ikke eksisterede.
The extension of the transit system to the Visegrad States had, in practice, not really started, since the necessary implementing provisions did not yet exist.
Hertil knyttede en af de tilstedeværende repræsentanter for speditionsbranchen den bemærkning, at han den 1. juli 1996 havde været i Ungarn i forretningsøjemed og ved den lejlighed konstateret, at de speditører, som han havde besøgt, ikke kendte noget til forsendelsesordningens udvidelse.
In that connection, one of the export-import agents present stated that he had been in Hungary on business on 1 July 1996 and had established that the agent he was visiting had no knowledge of the extension of the transit system.
På spørgsmålene af Kellett-Bowman, Bosch, Kjer-Hansen og Perry oplyste repræsentanterne for speditionsvirksomhederne, at der havde været visse bedragerier på grund af korrupte toldere.
In reply to questions by Mr Kellett-Bowman, Mr Bosch, Mrs Kjer-Hansen and Mr Perry, the representatives of the import-export agents present stated that some fraud had been perpetrated by or through corrupt customs officials.
I sådanne tilfælde skulle den hovedforpligtede ikke kunne drages til ansvar.
In this case, it had been impossible to lodge a claim against the principal party liable.
Fuchs imødegik denne argumentation under henvisning til, at der i en bestikkelsesaffære altid var to personer involveret.
Dr Fuchs took issue with that view, and pointed out that where there was bribery, at least two persons always had to be responsible.
Desuden oplyste speditørerne, at de forsøgte at reducere bedrageririsikoen til et minimum ved kun at samarbejde med seriøse erhvervsdrivende.
The agents also indicated that they tended to minimize the risk of fraud by dealing only with serious business partners.
Der forekom kun problemer, når de ved grænsen udelukkende fungerede som toldagenter og udstedte forsendelsesdokumenter for fremmede fragtførere. Det sikreste var transporter, som fra start til slut var tilrettelagt af en og samme speditør.
Problems only arose if they acted at the borders as customs agents pure and simple and issued transit documents for third-party carriers.
Faste kørselsstrækninger og satellitkontrol var heller ikke nogen løsning, da de ville begrænse fragtførernes handlefrihed.
Fixed transit routes and satellite monitoring were not the answer, since they would restrict carriers' freedom to operate.
Toldkontrol og frie varebevægelser måtte stå i et indbyrdes fornuftigt forhold.
Free movement of goods and customs checks had to be maintained in a healthy relationship with each other.
Konkret foreslog de, at hver grænsepassage skulle bekræftes på T1-formularsættet, og at fristen for tilbagesendelse af 5. gennemslagskopi blev afkortet.
They specifically proposed that every border crossing should be recorded on the T1 document and the deadlines for returning copy No 5 of the T1 document should be shortened.
De Luca takkede repræsentanterne for det østrigske handelskammer og hævede derpå mødet kl. ca. 11.00.
Mr De Luca thanked the representatives of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce and declared the meeting closed at approximately 11.00 a.m.

Nedenstående afsnit omfatter derfor bredfavnende anliggender, som blev bragt på bane gentagne gange under besøget.
The following sections therefore constitute broad themes which repeatedly arose during the visit.
Toldkontrollens tilrettelæggelse i Italien: Toldvæsen oa bagmandspoliti
Organisation of customs enforcement in Italy: Customs and the Guardia di Finanza
Det italienske toldvæsen er en civil ikke-uniformeret administrativ tjenestegren under finansministeriet.
The Italian customs service is a civilian non-uniformed administrative service under the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance.
Den har det primære ansvar for "klassiske" toldopgaver som f.eks. afgiftsinddrivelse (moms, told og punktafgifter), udformning af toldpolitik, forvaltning af toldprocedurer, forebyggende kontrol ved ind- og udrejsesteder, risikoanalyse, overvågning af følsomme varer osv.
It bears primary responsibility for "classical" customs activities such as the collection of revenue (VAT, duties and excise), the formulation of customs policy, the administration of customs procedures, preventive checks and controls at points of entry and exit, risk analysis, the monitoring of sensitive goods, etc.
aktiviteter omfatter efterforskning af økonomisk kriminalitet og skatteunddragelse, håndhævelse af skattelovgivningen og kontrol ved grænserne.
Its activities include the investigation of financial crime and tax evasion, the enforcement of fiscal legislation and the control of borders.
Det har vidtrækkende beføjelser til at udføre inspektion på stedet, at standse og kontrollere køretøjer, foretage arrestationer o.lign.
It has wide-ranging powers to carry out on-the-spot inspections, stop and check vehicles, make arrests and so on.
Som led i disse funktioner er bagmandspolitiet til stede i havne, ved grænseovergange og i lufthavne sideløbende med toldvæsenets tilstedeværelse.
As part of these functions, it maintains a presence in ports, at border crossings and airports alongside the customs service.
De to tjenester har et nært samarbejde inden for rammerne af deres respektive beføjelser.
The two services work in close cooperation within the bounds of their respective powers and competences.
Noget af det mest interessante i delegationens øjne var den toldkultur, der kunne iagttages.
One of the most interesting points to emerge from the point of view of the delegation was the customs "culture" it encountered.
Under tidligere besøg, som medlemmer af undersøgelsesudvalget har deltaget i, gav toldvæsenet ofte udtryk for stor bevidsthed om deres rolle med hensyn til at sikre en god afvikling af handelen og lagde derfor stor vægt på at minimere hindringerne for varebevægelserne.
During previous visits in which members of the Committee had participated, customs had often expressed a keen awareness of their role in ensuring the smooth flow of trade, and consequently gave high priority to minimising the obstacles placed in the way of the movement of goods.
Såvel i Rom som i Napoli understregede delegationens samtalepartnere, at de ganske vist var bevidst herom, men at deres primære opgave inden for de disponible ressourcers rammer var at hindre svig og bedrageri, til trods for at denne tydeligvis mere "repressive" holdning uden tvivl medførte konkurrencemæssige ulemper for det italienske erhvervsliv.
While aware of such interests, the delegation's interlocutors in both Rome and Naples stressed that their priority, within the limits of available resources, was in the prevention of fraud, notwithstanding a clear consciousness that this more "repressive" approach unquestionably created a competitive disadvantage for Italian businesses.
I Fiumicino lufthavn blev det anført, at toldvæsenet udmærket var klar over, at den nidkære kontrol havde negativ indvirkning på luftfartsselskabet Alitalias konkurrencestilling, og det blev anført meget klart, at de nordeuropæiske lufthavne med knap så skrap kontrol var begunstiget heraf.
In Fiumicino airport, it was indicated that the customs were aware that strictness in controls had a negative impact on Alitalia's competitive position, with the clear suggestion being made that Northern European airports with less stringent regimes benefitted as a result.
Under mødet med minister Marongiu nævnte ministeren, at det var efter pres fra turistbranchens lobbyister, at ministeriet fortsat fastholdt et højt kontrolniveau langs Italiens kyst.
In the meeting with Minister Marongiu, it was the minister who suggested that it was in the face of pressure from the tourism lobby that the Ministry continued to insist on a high level of controls along Italy's coastline.
Endelig blev delegationen bekendt med en opfordring fra repræsentanten for sammenslutningen af havneoperatører i Napoli gående ud på, at toldprocedurerne blev harmoniseret over hele EU, da det var en udbredt opfattelse, at de italienske toldere var skrappere end deres kolleger andre steder i Unionen.
Finally, the delegation heard a plea from the representative of the association of port operators in Naples that customs procedures be harmonised throughout the EU, as there was a widespread feeling that Italian customs were stricter than their counterparts elsewhere in the Union.
De generelle kommentarer, som delegationen hørte om dette emne, blev suppleret emd en del af de nævnte enkeltheder.
The general comments heard by the delegation on this theme were backed up by some of the details quoted.
Som noget næsten enestående i Europa har der i det italienske toldvæsen ikke været tale om nedskæring af det samlede personale eefter etableringen af det indre marked, og tallet har ligget stabilt på godt 10.000 tjenestemandsansatte toldere (hvortil kommer de toldrelaterede funktioner, som bagmandspolitiet tilbyder i assistance).
Almost uniquely in Europe, for example, the Italian customs service has not seen its total personnel reduced since the introduction of the single market, with figures stable slightly over 10,000 officials (in addition to which the Guardia di Finanza can provide customs-related assistance).
Hvad angik spørgsmålet om fysisk kontrol i Fiumicino lufthavn, bliver alle indgående varer undersøgt på basis af dokumenter, og heraf foretages der fysisk kontrol af 6-7% af følsomme varer samt af 5% af den samide varemængde.
On the question of physical checks, in Fiumicino airport, all incoming goods were checked on a documentary basis, with physical checks reaching 6-7% on "sensitive" goods, and averaging 5% in total.
Af disse underkastes mellem 7 og 10% yderligere bedrageribekæmpelseskontrol (udført af en specialiseret enhed), og hele 5% hævdes at føre til søgsmål.
Of these, between 7-10% were further subject to "anti-fraud" checks (carried out by a specialised department) and as many as 5% were said to lead to legal proceedings.
I Napoli blev der beskrevet endnu større nidkærhed: 15% af alle vare kontrolleres, samtlige _ deklarerede følsomme varer underkastes fysisk kontrol, som på den ene side suppleres med fuldstændig tilfældig kontrol af andre varer og på den anden side med målrettet kontrol på basis af risikoanalyser.
In Naples, even greater rigour was described: 15% of goods were checked, with all declared sensitive goods being subject to physical checks, backed up by, on the one hand, completely random checks of other goods and, on the other, targeted checks arising from risk analysis.
Generelt viser det sig, at 1 % af de undersøgte varer involverer bedrageri af den ene eller anden art. Det skal bemærkes, at alle disse aktiviteter stort set udføres uden brug af særligt teknologisk udstyr som følge af en ofte anført mangel på finansielle ressourcer.
In general, 1% of goods checked proved fraudulent in one way or another. It should be noted that, owing to an oft-cited lack of financial resources, all this activity was largely done without the benefit of special technological equipment.
Den vigtigste konklusion, som delegationens samtalepartnere udledte på dette område, var, at toldprocedurerne burde harmoniseres for at eliminere de forskelle, som forskellige holdninger til toldkontrollen medfører i konkurrencebetingelserne.
The main lesson drawn by the delegation's interlocutors in this area was that customs procedures should be harmonised in order to eliminate the competitive disparities created by different approaches to customs control. Furthermore,
Til støtte for dette argument anførte en statistiker, at ca. 40­50% af de i Fiumicino lufthavn afslørede euforiserende stoffer ankom med interne fællesskabsflyvninger.
One statistic adduced in favour of this argument was that some 40-50% of drugs discovered at Fiumicino airport arrived on internal Community flights.
Skønt de af delegationens besøgte lokaliteter ikke hører til de største 1 Italien, når det gælder omfang og antal af forsendelser (landegrænserne i den nordlige del af landet spiller i højere grad denne rolle), er landet som helhed et af dem, som er mest berørt af disse forsendelsestransaktioner, idet antallet af udgående transaktioner løb op i næsten to mio i 1994(1,4 mio i 1995), og antallet af indgående transaktioner er også meget højt.
Although the specific locations visited by the delegation are not the largest in Italy in terms of transit volumes (land borders in the north play this role), the country as a whole is one of the most concerned with transit trade, with outgoing operations peaking at nearly two million in 1994 (1.4 million in 1995) and the number of incoming operations also high.
Det italienske toldvæsen er derfor en af de tjenester, der er mest involveret med forvaltningen og kontrollen heraf.
Italian customs is therefore one of the services most involved with its management and control.
Som eksempel kan det nævnes, at det endog i Napoli, soe er forhodsvis perifert beliggende i den pan­europæiske samhandel, forholder sig således, at 30% af den samlede handel, som går gennem havnen, foregår efter fællesskabsforsendelsesordningen.
By way of example, even in Naples, which is relatively peripheral in terms of pan-European commerce, 30% of total trade through the port was in the form of transit.
Returneringstiden for 5. gennemslagskopi af
Return times for copy 5 of the T1 document
Det blev påpeget for delegationen, at forsendelsesordningen var det eneste væsentlige aspekt af det italienske toldvæsens arbejde, som ikke skulle datamatiseres.
It was pointed out to the delegation that the transit system was the one substantial aspect of the Italian customs service's work not to be computerised.
Delegationen forhørte sig flere gange om vanskelighederne i forbindelse med returnering af Τ1­dokumentets 5. gennemslagskopi.
The delegation asked frequently about the difficulties encountered with the return of copy 5 of the T1 document.
Generelt forholdt det sig således, at de italienske myndigheder kunne returnere den 5. gennemslagskopi i løbet af højst en måned ( kopierne blev generelt afsendt fra de enkelte toldkontrorer i løbet af 10 dage og hurtigere for følsomme varers vedkommende). Derimod var der problemer med returneringen af dokumenter fr· andre medlemsstater.
While it was generally said that the Italian authorities managed to return copy 5 within a maximum of one month (with copies leaving individual customs offices generally within 10 days and accelerated procedures for sensitive goods), there were problems with the return of documents from other Member States.
Der syntes at være almindelig enighed om, at de fleste andre landes myndigheder normalt brugte mellem 50 og 60 dage hertil, men ved mere end én lejlighed blev det nævnt, at andre medlemsstater og især Grækenland var endnu længere om at returnere dokumenter.
There seemed to be a consensus that most other authorities generally achieved a 50-60 day deadline but, on more than one occasion, it was said that other Member States, in particular Greece, took a great deal longer to return documentation.
Desuden forekom det i mange tilfælde, at dokumenter slet ikke blev returneret og at der derfor måtte rykkes for dem.
In many instances, moreover, documentation was not returned at all and had to be chased up.
Ikke desto mindre blev der også udtrykt visse forbehold med hensyn til mængden af enkeltheder, som kunne indbefattes i det datamatiserede system, og navnlig når det gjaldt dækningen i form af samlet sikkerhedsstillelse (jf. det følgende) og de statistikmuligheder, som systemet ville frembyde.
Nevertheless, some reticence was expressed as to the amount of detail which it would be possible to include in the computerised system, in particular concerning the coverage provided by the comprehensive guarantee (see below) and the statistics the system would provide.
I overensstemmelse med ovenfor beskrevne "nidkære" holdning udtrykte de italienske myndigheder bekymring for den praktiske funktion af ordningen med
In accordance with the "strict" culture described above, the Italian authorities expressed concern as to the practical functioning of the comprehensive guarantee.
Italien ville derfor støtte en forhøjelse af niveauet for samlet kaution.
Italy would therefore support an increase in the level of the comprehensive guarantee.
Dette ville igen give toldvæsenet mulighed at tilbyde et nedslag eller en slags "rabat" til gengæld for, at den pågældnede virksomhed (i) dels overtog en del af den administrative byrde fra toldvæsenet og (ii) dels tillod toldvæsenet direkte adgang til dens system.
This in turn would allow the customs to offer a guarantee "discount" in return for the company (i) removing some administrative burden from customs, and (ii) allowing customs direct access to its systems.
