Hvis der skal gives decharge i tilfælde, hvor skatteydernes penge er blevet anvendt uretmæssigt og samtidig bevirker en al vorlig forvridning af handelen, burde dette udvalg efter min mening ufortøvet opløses.
President. — Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Man, President of the Court of Auditors, has taken his seat in the Official Gallery.
Dets arbejde vil le være spild af tid og kræfter.
I am sure that you will all join me in conveying to Mr Mart a cordial welcome and our appreciation of his presence during our debates.
ikke andet, end at den britiske regering kan råde over Kommissionens penge på samme måde som min bank over min bankkonto.
It is strange that it should be the United Kingdom which receives undue payments and that nothing should be done to recover them.
Der er ikke nogen som helst forskel. Det betyder, at den britiske regering med hensyn til kassekredit, betalingsbalance-problematik osv. via Kommissionen ved overførselen af pengene kom i en position, hvor den først skulle have været to måneder senere efter Parlamentets vedtagelse af tillægsbudgettet.
I am thinking in particular of the overpayment of a thousand million units of account on the Community's contribution to the British budget for the 1980 and 1981 financial years.
Når så kom missær Tugendhat siger, at pengene blev overført for at fremme en aftale mellem Parlamentet og Rådet, så er det ikke blot en utrolig kendsgerning.
I know that it is fashionable in some quarters of this House to pull the common agricultural policy to pieces; there are repeated complaints that it poses too heavy a burden on the taxpayers of certain countries in northern Europe.
Jeg finder den også latterlig, for det, Kommissionen gjorde, var i virkeligheden at svække Parlamentets forhandlings position med hensyn til klassifikationen af de britiske bidrag.
But once again I have noted from a reply given by the Commission to one of our colleagues, that the 1980 regulation on sheep made it possible to pay to the United Kingdom more than 90% of the amount spent for that project in 1983.
Efter min opfattelse er dette allerede tilstrækkeligt til at nægte decharge.
President. — The voting is due to begin at 12 midday.
Jeg har tidligere spurgt Kommissionen, hvor mange penge det begrænsede budget, som vi hvert år har, tappes for gennem en eller anden form for bedrageri. Jeg har ikke fået noget svar.
It would appear that there is an attitude of favouritism towards the United Kingdom, calling for an answer from the Commission, which we expect to give real explanations rather than evasive statements.
Jeg ved godt, at det ikke er noget let spørgsmål at besvare, men vi ved alle, at vi taler om et meget betydeligt beløb.
Mr Simmonds (ED). — Mr President, did I under stand that you are also asking Mr Thorn not to reply to the debate?
Det er derfor så meget mere nødvendigt, at der hurtigst muligt gribes ind over for disse lovovertrædere, for at man kan få disse penge tilbagebetalt.
I think it would be perfectly monstrous, having her ad some of the accusations made this morning, if the Commission were denied the opportunity to reply in full.
Kommissær Tugendhat sagde netop med en vis ironi, at der ikke var et sikrere tidspunkt at nægte decharge på end det tidspunkt, der ligger seks uger før den siddende Kommissions afgang.
These few considerations are sufficient grounds for us to vote for the Boserup report, which we find impressive.
Men Parlamentet har også den 30. april 1984 truffet en beslutning vedrørende sine interne bestemmelser, idet det har fastslået, at det må være muligt som led i dechargeproceduren at give individuelle kommissærer, der bærer et særligt ansvar for de under dechargeproceduren fremførte kendsgerninger og for de be slutninger, som Parlamentet træffer vedrørende Kommissionen, mulighed for individuelt at påtage sig ansvaret og drage de dermed forbundne konsekvenser. kvenser.
President. — Mr Simmonds, I only asked the speakers left on the list to proceed in this manner in order to take account of our restricted time and enable the rap porteur, Mr Aigner and, of course, the President of the Commission to reply.1
Efter min mening bør der ikke på nogen måde gives decharge, før man i det mindste kender resultatet af overtrædelsessagen mod Det forenede Kongerige med hensyn til de forskellige priser på sødmælk, som the milk marketing boards i Det forenede Kongerige har fastsat. Dette er efter min opfattelse en stor skandale.
Mr Lalor (RDE). — The Boserup report now before us obliges us to give a clear reaction to the way in which the Commission has managed the affairs of the Community over the past four years.
Det, det irske Dairy Co-op spørger mig om, er: Hvornår får vi de penge tilbage, der er taget fra os gennem de britiske mælkeråds prismanipulation?
As the taxpayers' representatives, we are expected to check carefully the way in which the Commission implements the annual budget.
Og Fællesskabets skatteydere ønsker at vide, hvorfor det har taget mere end seks år at rydde op i dette rod og få pengene tilbagebetalt.
Mr Chambeiron (COM). — (FR) The excellent repon drawn up by Mrs Boserup — I am almost tempted to call it an indictment — is hard on the Commission but is, in our view, fully justified.
Dette er alvorlige spørgsmål, der skal besvares. Vi skal stå ansigt til ansigt med valgerne, og det forventes, at vi kender svarene.
The Committee on Budgetary Control proposes that we refuse to grant a discharge to the Commission in respect of the implementation of the 1982 budget of the Community.
Jeg har haft et spørgsmål liggende hos Kommissionen i månedsvis nu i et forsøg på at få nogle oplysninger om disse spørgsmål, og jeg venter stadig på oplysningerne.
Thus, it expresses the strongest possible dissatisfaction with the way in which the outgoing Commission managed our affairs.
Hr. formand, jeg mener ikke, at vi kan ødelægge Fællesskabet i denne allerede vanskelige tid ved at vælte hele Kommissionen ved et mistillidsvotum.
Since it is essentially in the sphere of the budget that the few powers of this Assembly lie, it is only right and proper for it to aim to exercise strictly the controls on expenditure for which it, together with the Council, has responsibilty.
Formanden. — Ærede kolleger, i den officielle loge påhører hr. Mart, formand for Revisionsretten, vor forhandlinger.
Mr Chambeiron, Mr Lalor, Mr D. Martin and Mr Bocklet agreed to the President's proposal to submit their speeches in writing.
Clinton (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, det er heldigt for os, at vi i Parlamentet har et budgetkontroludvalg, der har ydet en meget anerkendelsesværdig præstation lige siden dets oprettelse.
Having read the text of the draft decision and the accompanying explanatory statement, I must say that I am convinced that this House has no justifiable alter native but to vote for the refusal of discharge.
Dette er ikke blot min opfattelse, det er en opfattelse der ofte er blevet givet udtryk for i Parlamentet.
The six principal failures of the Commission are summarized in a stark and clear fashion.
Jeg går ud fra, at vi alle ønsker, at det værdifulde stykke arbejde, dette udvalg udfører, fortsættes.
In my brief comments, I propose to deal with only three of them.
Jeg ved, at det hos visse medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet er god tone at kritisere den fælles landbrugs politik.
The first is the Commission's payment of three-quarters of a billion ECU to the British Milk Marketing Boards in circumstances that run counter to fair com petition within the Community.
Man siger, at den er dyr for skatteborgerne i visse lande i Nordeuropa.
At first, I was surprised not to find this aspect mentioned in Mrs Boserup's text.
Men også her kan jeg i et svar, som Kommissionen har givet til en af vore kolleger, konstatere, at forordningen for fårekød i 1980 har muliggjort, at Storbritannien fik udbetalt ca. 90% af de midler, det i 1983 havde givet ud til denne for anstaltning.
The Commission made its decision far too hastily. Whilst not renowned for acting speedily in the normal course, it overruled the financial controller's veto within a matter of hours, even though the relevant file was most sizeable and very complicated in this case.
Formanden. — Efter planen går vi kl. 12.00 over til afstemning.
It was intended to help in the campaign to eliminate hunger in the world.
Det lader til, at Kommissionen giver Det forenede Kongerige en særbehandling, hvorfor vi forventer, at den afgiver en forklaring og ikke blot kommer med udflugter.
In many spheres of Community activity, negligence on the part of the Commission can be tolerated. How ever, in this case, I think it simply cannot be accepted.
Simmonds (ED). — (EN) Hr. formand, forstod jeg Dem ret, at De også beder hr. Thorn om ikke at svare i debatten?
The payments in question helped to finance operations that undermined fair competition and orderly market conditions.
Jeg mener, det ville være aldeles horribelt, efter at jeg har hørt nogle af de i formiddags fremsatte beskyldninger, hvor Kommissionen blev nægtet mulighed for at svare indgående.
At the present moment, the Irish Milk Marketing Board — Bord Bainne — is pursuing a legal case in the British courts arising out of these irregularities. gularities.
Disse betragtninger er tilstrækkelige til at stemme for Boserupbetænkningen, da vi finder den yderst frem ragende.
UNICEF pointed out that in 1982 because of malnutrition and related diseases, 40 000 children died every day.
Det ville være beklageligt, hvis vedtagelsen af visse ændringsforslag ændrede rækkevidden her af.
In addition, thousands more lost their sight from a simple lack of vitamins.
Formanden. — Hr. Simmonds, jeg har udelukkende anmodet de indtegnede talere om at gå frem på denne måde for netop derved i betragtning af den tidsmæssigt pressede situation at give ordføreren og hr. Aigner samt naturligvis også kommissionsformanden mulighed for at svare (')·
Against this background, the Commission's failure to do everything possible to ensure 160 000 tonnes of food aid — which is available in mountains all over Western Europe — is criminal. Criminal is not too strong a word to use in the circumstances.
Lalor (RDE). — (EN) Den her foreliggende Boserup betænkning forpligter os til en klar reaktion på den måde, hvorpå Kommissionen har styret Fællesskabets forhold i de sidste fire år.
The second matter that I wish to mention is the failure of the Commission to make available to Parliament the background papers that we need if we are to reach an informed opinion on the steps which led to the taking of decisions affecting three-quaners of a billion of tax payers' money.
Som skatteborgernes repræsentanter forventes det af os, at vi nøje kontrol lerer den måde, hvorpå Kommissionen gennemfører det årlige budget.
Of itself, this refusal to make available the relevant papers would warrant a refusal of discharge.
Chambeiron (COM). — (FR) Den fremragende be tænkning, som er udarbejdet af vor kollega, fru Boserup — ja, man kunne faktisk tale om en slags anklageskrift — er meget streng over for Kommissionen, men dette er i vore øjne fuldt ud berettiget.
Taken in conjunction with the other weighty issues raised in the report, the case for condemning the Commission's failure is overwhelming.
Budgetkontroludvalget foreslår os at nægte at give decharge til Kommissionen for gennemførelsen af Fællesskabernes budget for 1982.
The third issue concerns food aid. More and more people in Europe are becoming aware of the cruel hardships experienced by the starving millions in Third World countries.
Derved giver det udtryk for den kraftigst mulige utilfredshed med den måde, hvorpå den afgående Kommission har styret vore anliggender.
It is the wish of the general public, and of the European Parliament, that at least some of the surpluses of food that we produce should be shared with those unfortunate people.
Eftersom det i det væsentlige er på budgetområdet, at Europa-Parlamentet har visse beføjelser, er det natur ligt og helt legitimt, at det nøje ønsker at foretage kontrollen med de udgifter, som det sammen med Rådet har ansvaret for.
Other speakers have dealt with the failure of the Com mission to respect Parliament's will as expressed by the rejection of the supplementary budget; the Commission's haste in overruling the financial controllers; the Commission's refusal to make certain documents available to Parliament in its control capacity; the management weaknesses about which the Court of Auditors has been protesting for years.
Efter at have læst forslaget til beslutning og den led sagende begrundelse må jeg sige, at jeg er overbevist om, at Parlamentet ikke har noget andet berettiget alternativ end at stemme for at nægte decharge.
This is our last opportunity of passing a view on the present Commission while it is still in office.
Kommissionens seks hovedundladelser er resumeret på klar og tydelig måde.
We can not ignore its failures, we cannot let the Commission off the hook.
I mine korte kommentarer agter jeg kun at behandle tre af dem.
Its financial management is just not good enough.
Jeg kan nævne følgende eksempel : i forbindelse med godkendelsen af EUGFLs regnskaber for 1978 og 1979 havde budgetkontroludvalget gjort opmærksom på en besynderlig praksis i forbindelse med visse for skud til Det forenede Kongerige inden for mælkesektoren.
In the circumstances, it is outrageous to read, as we do, that in 1982 the Commission was guilty of procrastination in implementing the wishes of Parliament in the matter of food aid.
Kommissionens holdning — hvis pligt var at indlede den nødvendige procedure med henblik på tilbagebetaling af de 864 mio ECU, som Storbritannien uretmæssigt havde opkrævet — kræver en mere overbevisende forklaring end den, vi har fået her.
Even worse, the relatively modest amounts provided for were cut back severely, and 12 months elapsed after the necessary money was voted by this House before about one-third of the amount proposed by Parliament was despatched.
Det er besynderligt, at det er Storbritannien, som drager fordel af det beløb, der er opkrævet for meget, og at intet er gjort for at få det tilbage.
For all these reasons, the European Parliament has no choice but to refuse to grant discharge to the outgoing Commission and to call on it to draw the necessary conclusions from this grave political condemnation.
Jeg tænker især på den milliard ECU, der er udbetalt for meget i for bindelse med Fællesskabets bidrag til det britiske budget for regnskabsårene 1980 og 1981.
This political act on our part will, I hope, make the incoming Commission fully aware of its accountability to Parliament.
Den første er Kommissionens betaling af 3/4 mia ECU til de britiske Milk Marketing Boards under omstændigheder, der er i strid med fair konkurrence inden for Fællesskabet.
Mr D. Martin (S). — Mrs Boserup has outlined the issues that need to be taken into consideration in relation to the decision on the 1982 discharge.
Ved første øjekast overraske de det mig, at jeg ikke fandt denne sag nævnt i fru Boserups tekst. Imidlertid blev jeg klar over, hvorfor hun ikke nævnede emnet, da jeg læste fodnoten til punkt 22 i hendes begrundelse.
Mr Bocklet (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, colleagues, the conduct of the Christmas butter scheme in 1982 is a particularly striking example of the Commission's indecisiveness and bad management, such that it is not possible for us to grant discharge.
Her lægger Kommissionen skylden for en væsentlig uregelmæssighed på sine egne skuldre.
The Christmas butter scheme is, admittedly, an expensive marketing scheme.
(') Chambeiron, Lalor, David Martin og Bocklet accepterede formandens forslag om at afgive deres indlæg skriftligt.
Where the Christmas butter scheme is concerned, that means that the cut-price butter must be on the shelves in the shops by the beginning of November at the
På mange felter af Fællesskabernes virksomhed kan skødesløshed fra Kommissionens side tolereres.
In consequence the success of the marketing campaign was minimal and the costs were unjustifiably high.
UNICEF påpegede, at i 1982 døde der 40 000 børn om dagen på grund af underernæring og dertil knyttede sygdomme.
For each extra kilo of butter sold, the costs amounted to DM 22.00, whereas for the comparable schemes in 1977 and 1978 they were between six and ten marks.
Desuden var der tusinder, der miste de synet på grund af simpel vitaminmangel.
As a result the Community incurred additional costs of more than 100 million D-marks.
Det næste, jeg gerne vil nævne, er Kommissionens undladelse af til Parlamentets rådighed at stille det baggrundmateriale, vi har brug for, hvis vi skal danne os en begrundet mening om de skridt, der førte til, at man traf afgørelser, som vedrørte trekvart milliard af skatteydernes penge.
From the beginning the Commission was aware that the success of the Christmas butter scheme depended on its being started early enough and that any delay would reduce the success of the operation.
I sig selv kunne denne nægtelse af at stille de relevante dokumenter til rådighed be grunde nægtelse af decharge.
Therefore it must be said here and now that, in full knowledge of the consequences of delaying the start of the scheme, the Commission failed to set aside its internal differ ences in good time, and thus knowingly allowed the costs to rise.
Når det tages under ét med de andre tungtvejende spørgsmål, der rejses i denne betænkning, er der en overvældende grund til at fordømme Kommissionens undladelser.
It is for this reason that the Commission must bear full responsibility for the failure of the scheme.
Et tredje spørgsmål, jeg gerne vil nævne, er fødevarehjælpen.
On that point I should like to say that it is strange to tell us that the question does not pertain to 1982, since we are well aware of that fact.
Rere og flere mennesker i Europa bliver klar over de grusomme lidelser, som millioner af sultende i den tredje verdens lande gennemgår.
But when should we in fact have done anything about it when we heard only in 1984 about the happenings in 1978 and 1979?
Det er den brede offentligheds ønske, og det er også Europa-Parlamentets, at i det mindste nogle af de fødevareoverskud, vi procedurer, deles med disse ulykkelige mennesker.
We would have been glad to hear about them in 1979, but that was unfortunately not possible and we simply can not put the clocks back.
På denne baggrund er Kommissionens undladelse af at gøre alt tænkeligt for at sikre de 160 000 tons fødevarehjælp — som ligger i bjerge overalt i Vesteuropa — kriminel. »
But I will say in this connection that in agreement with Mr Aigner and also following discussions with political colleagues, I am will ing to delete the matter from the report on condition that, given time and the necessary information, we are able to go carefully through it in the Committee on Budgetary Control.
Kriminel « er ikke for stærkt et ord at bruge under disse omstændigheder.
That will perhaps be a disappointment for Mr Clinton, but we have in any case been accommodating.
Jeg for min del vil på det kraftigste protestere i spørgsmålet om fødevarehjælpen. Parlamentet bør nægte decharge. ge.
Mr Tugendhat maintains that the 160 000 tonnes of grain are not from 1982.
Under omstændighederne er det skandaløst, når man som vi kan læse, at Kommissionen i 1982 gjorde sig skyldig i at forhale realiseringen af Parlamentets ønsker vedrørende fødevarehjælp.
It was a 1982 matter.
Det er vor sidste chance for at udtrykke vor mening om den nuværende Kommission, mens den stadig er i funktion.
At the beginning of today's debate the Commission objected that it did in fact admit that a mistake had been made, but considered that this was an isolated incident and that therefore it could not be used as grounds for refusing to grant the Commission discharge for the full 1982 budget year.
Vi kan ikke ignorere dens undladelser, vi kan ikke lade Kommissionen slippe godt fra det.
One could agree with this line of argument, if the procedures described were not typical of the Commission's style of operation.
Dens finansförvaltning duer simpelt hen ikke.
The progress of this year's Christmas butter scheme shows that the Commission has learnt nothing from its earlier mistakes.
Denne politiske handling fra vor side håber vi vil gøre den kommende Kommission helt klar over, at den står til ansvar over for Parlamentet.
Therefore anyone who takes seriously the supervisory role of the European Parliament will be unable to grant the Commission discharge for 1982.
David Martin (S). — (EN) Fru Boserup har beskrevet de spørgsmål, som må og skal tages i betragtning i relation til afgørelsen om 1982-dechargen.
Mrs Boserup (COM), rapporteur. — (DA) Mr President, I must be very brief, and when one is very brief one is perhaps a little more brusque — there is no room for social pleasantries.
Bocklet (PPE). — (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, gennemførelsen af julesmørordningen i 1982 er et usædvanlig godt eksempel på Kommissionens mangelfulde beslutningsdygtighed og dårlige forvaltning, der ikke tillader os at give decharge.
Then I have been much upbraided for our having written in general terms about the management. But I did so deliberately, because I really think that these stories about the fitness centre and Ispra and so on are rather embarrassing.
En julesmørordning er, indrømmer jeg, en dyr afsætningsforanstaltning.
If Mr Tugendhat would like to know what I really mean, he can read a British report entitled 'Financial Management in Government Depart ments'.
Så meget des mere nødvendigt er det jo så, at man, når man indfører den, gør alt for at få den størst mulige effekt og spare omkostninger.
That was actually prepared at the request of her Britannic Majesty, and it actually does contain what I am referring to.
Med hensyn til julesmørordningen betyder det, at det bil ligere smør senest skal ligge på forretningernes hylder i begyndelsen af november.
If we wish to go into detail we might consider a report drawn up by the Court of Auditors concerning administration with the title 'Delpeck'.
Desuden blev der stemt om dem her i plenum i april, og resultatet — 169 for, ingen imod, og 10 der undlod at stemme — var en meget klar tilkendegivelse af, at Parlamentet var overbevist om, at meget alvorlige spørgsmål var involveret.
In any case I cannot see how we can get out of the situation except by taking a step considered by some to be ridiculous, as there are only six weeks left, whereas there are others who say it is fortunate that there are only six weeks left. For me it is a secondary con-
Jeg agter ikke at tale om hvert enkelt spørgsmål. Imidlertid mener jeg, at fødevarehjælpen er et tydeligt eksempel på, hvordan Kommissionen har und ladt at efterkomme Parlamentets ønsker.
Mr Tugendhat had a series of criticisms of the text.
I december 1981 vedtog Parlamentet bevillinger til over 160 000 tons fødevarehjælp.
One of them was the question concerning the proposed amendments on whether or not promises were fulfilled.
Hensigten var at bidrage til kampen mod sulten i verden.
On that I can only say that I take that reproach quite lightly.
En afgørelse blev nået den
It is not directed against me.
Da så julesmør ret kom på markedet i december, havde husmødrene for længst bagt deres jubebag.
The disagreement is one we have had with the Com mission for years.
Den tilsigtede merafsætning forblev følgelig minimal, omkostningerne var
It is mentioned in reports by Lord Bruce of Donington, Mr Battersby, Mr Schön, etc.
Bocklet for løst grundlag, ikke engang når hr. Notenboom havde arbejdet med sagen, og ham havde vi ellers umådelig respekt for.
I would have liked to dispatch this matter in April, and it is not my fault that that did not happen.
Pr. kilo smør, der blev afsat yderligere, udgjorde omkostningerne 22 DM, mens de under lignende ordninger i 1977 og 1978 lå mellem 6 og 10 DM.
It can only serve to strengthen our parliamentary position and to strengthen the collaboration between Commission and Parliament.
