- som følge af dette pres ville IRU muligvis ikke have kunnet føre drøftelser med toldmyndighederne eller de nationale sammenslutninger i det ønskede omfang;
It took note of the following points that were made during the visit: that the search for the services of SGS was prompted by the insistence of the new insurers found by IRU that the system be made more secure; that as a result of this pressure IRU may not have been able to consult with the customs authorities or indeed their national associations as much as would have been desirable; that SGS was able to process a very large percentage of the carnets issued (they said 90%) by the time the experiment was fully underway towards the end of 1995; that SGS was in a position to give IRU in Geneva three diskettes at 9 in the morning based on information received from 38 countries by midnight the previous day; that the ending of the contract with SGS was fundamentally a decision taken by the national customs authorities, taken within the administrative committee of WP 30;
Forholdet mellem offentlige og private instanser i forsendelsessektoren
Public versus private in the transit sector
Det spændte forhold mellem offentlige og private instanser i forsendelsessektoren trådte tydeligere frem under besøget.
The tension between the public and private sectors in the transit sector became clearer during the visit.
På den ene side er der toldvæsenet med længere traditioner end noget andet statsligt organ og meget bestemte opfattelser af, hvordan tingene skal ske.
On the one hand, there are customs services with longer traditions than virtually all other departments of state and very firm views about how things should be done.
Toldvæsenet blev under besøget beskrevet som "en stat i staten".
They were described during the visit as a "state within a state".
På det seneste har toldvæsenet dog lidt betydeligt under personalenedskæringer med deraf følgende større arbejdsbyrde og faldende moral.
However, they have in the recent past suffered severely from reductions in staff which have increased work loads and reduced morale.
Under disse omstændigheder står tolderne over for vanskelige valg: skal de koncentrere sig om narkohandelen eller være mere opmærksomme på tabet af afgiftsindtægter og navnlig i de tilfælde, hvor der er et garantisystem, som i sidste ende kan sikre inddrivelsen af disse tab?
They are faced with difficult choices under these circumstances: should they concentrate on the drugs trade or should they give more attention to the loss of revenue, especially when there is a system of guarantees which ensures that at the end of the day sucl: losses can be recovered?
I forsendelsessektoren har tolderne ihærdigt modsat sig ethvert forsøg på at reducere deres rolle, og denne indstilling er forklaringen på deres stærke modvilje mod SGS-projektet, som nærmest ville tjene til at opbygge en parallel toldtjeneste.
In the transit sector they have resisted strongly any attempts to reduce their roic, a position which explains their considerable opposition to the SGS project which served almost to create a parallel customs service.
Der blev drøftet to løsningsmodeller for den offentlige sektor, begge langt fra lette at gennemføre.
Two public sector solutions were discussed, both far from easy to implement.
I den ene model kunne der tænkes et centraliseret system som i De Forenede Stater, hvor afgifterne normalt opkræves pá indgangstoldstedet.
One could envisage a centralised system such as that which exists in the United States, where duties are normally collected at the point of entry.
Dette kræver en enkelt toldmyndighed og en enkelt afgiftsmyndighed, som begge er et godt stykke vej fra at blive indført i Unionen.
This implies a single customs authority and a single fiscal authority, both of which are some way from being achieved in the Union.
Alternativt kunne der etableres et udvidet toldsamarbejde med alle lande, som er villige til at afsætte langt større ressourcer hertil end på nuværende tidspunkt.
Alternatively, there can be extended customs cooperation with all countries willing to devote much greater resources to this aim than they do at present.
IRU's hidtidige erfaringer med bestræbelserne på at få mere hånd i hanke med TIR-carnet-systemet lader formode, at der endnu resterer en hel del at gøre på dette område.
The experience of IRU so far in its attempts to get a closer grip on the TIR Carnet system suggests that much remains to be done in this domain.
På den anden side står en privat sektor, der er interesseret i at opnå størst mulig sikkerhed under varernes forsendelse, og som ikke finder det eksisterende system tilfredsstillende.
On the other hand, there is a private sector which is interested in ensuring maximum security for goods in transit and does not find the existing system satisfactory.
SGS påviste, at der kunne opnås information på stedet meget hurtigt, således at det f.eks. kan konstateres, hvordan TIR-carneter forfalskes. Delegationen fik vist eksempler på særdeles veludførte forfalskninger og blev bekendt med, hvor meget det koster at skaffe dem.
SGS showed that they could obtain information on the ground very quickly, establishing for example how and in what form TIR carnets can be forged.
I den forbindelse påpegede SGS den mulige udvikling af et nyt system udformet på en sådan måde, at de 2,5 mio schweizerfrancs, som SGS investerede i IRU-eksperimentet, kunne anvendes fornuftigt.
In this context, SGS pointed to the possible development of a new system designed to permit it to put to good use the 2.5 million Swiss Francs that it invested in the IRU experiment.
SGS fremførte ideen med en privat "klub" eller sammenslutning af operatører, der ville oprette deres eget system tilpasset deres egne behov, hvilket ville åbne mulighed for ekspedition af varer parallelt med toldvæsenets ekspedition, blot meget hurtigere.
It pointed to the idea of a private "Club" of operators who would set up their own system geared to their own needs which would provide for clearance of goods parallel to that provided by customs but executed more rapidly.
Operatørerne ville få adgang til klubben på basis af deres befordrede godsmængde og måtte forventes at skulle opfylde en række strenge optagelsesbetingelser såsom obligatorisk montering af kommunikationssystemer i lastbilerne.
Operators would be admitted to the Club on the basis of the volume of goods that they transport and would be expected to meet certain stringent entry requirements, such as obligatory in-cab communications.
En sådan ordning ville påføre de mindre operatører alvorlige vanskeligheder, medmindre de indgik en samarbejdsaftale med andre operatører.
Such a system would pose severe difficulties for small operators unless they went into a cooperative arrangement with others.
Det ville også udfordre IRU's rolle og driften af TIR-systemet.
It would also challenge the role of the IRU and the operation of the TIR system.
Fællesskabsforsendelsesordningen og den fælles forsendelsesordning
Community and common transit
De schweiziske myndigheder præciserede, at fordelene ved at have en vetomulighed under den fælles forsendelsesordning i deres øjne var mere indlysende end reelle.
The Swiss authorities made plain that from their point of view the advantages of having a veto under the common transit system are more apparent than real.
Det er korrekt, at de ikke behøvede at acceptere forslaget om ophævelse af ordningen med samlet sikkerhedsstillelse for følsomme varer fra 1 . april.
It is true that they did not have to accept the proposal to eliminate global guarantees for sensitive goods from 1 April.
Det ville imidlertid have bevirket, at schweiziske transportvirksomheder kunne blive konfronteret med krav om at stille individuel sikkerhed eller kaution, så snart de passerede grænsen til Unionen.
However, Swiss transporters were faced with the possibility that they would be obliged to produce an individual guarantee as soon as they crossed the border into the Union.
Af den grund stod alle EFTA-landene over for et vanskeligt valg, som gav dem meget ringe forhandlingsspillerum.
Hence all the EFTA states were faced with a difficult choice, which left them with little room for negotiation.
Opgaven med at nå enighed til lå efter deres opfattelse på Unionens side.
The leverage to obtain consent is, in their view, on the side of the Union.
I sidste ende accepterede EFTA-landene at indarbejde fællessskabsreglerne i den fælles forsendelsesordning efter en aftale indgået ugen før den fælles forsendelsesordnings udvidelse til Visegrad-landene.
In the end, the EFTAns accepted to incorporate the Community rules into the common system in a deal that was completed in the week before the common transit system was extended to the Visegrad states.
Schweizerne fandt det tilsvarende meget svært at finde genklang for deres bekymringer med hensyn til datamatisering.
The Swiss felt similarly unable to make their concerns heard in relation to computerisation.
Som det fremgår klart og tydeligt af vedføjede dokument, er de yderst kritiske over for Kommissionens foreslåede projekt.
As the attached document makes clear, they are highly critical of the proposed project of the Commission.
De har konsekvent slået til lyd for et langt mindre ambitiøst projekt, hvor indsatsen er koncentreret om tilbagesendelsen af T1dokumentets femte gennemslagskopi.
They have consistently argued for a much smaller scale project, concentrating on the return of copy 5 of the Tl form.
I deres øjne var det fuldstændig umuligt at gennemføre projektet inden fristen i 1998 i betragtning af dets komplicerede beskaffenhed.
As for the deadline of 1998, in their view, it is totally unfeasible, given the complexity of the project.
Cigaretter og deres befordring gennem Schweiz
Cigarettes and their passage through Switzerland
Dette emne fremkaldte ret forskellige svar.
This issue prompted rather different responses.
Hos IRU blev det nævnt, at der var mellem 400 og 500 udestående krav vedrørende cigaretforsendelser, som var indledt i Schweiz.
At IRU it was argued that there were 400 to 500 claims outstanding concerning shipments of cigarettes that started in Switzerland.
Det blev bemærket, at cigaretproduktionen var steget med 30%, selv om forbruget var stagnerende.
It was noted that cigarette production had increased by 30% even though consumption was stagnant.
Niveauet i samarbejdet mellem de schweiziske myndigheder cg EU-myndighederne blev langt fra betragtet som ideelt.
The level of cooperation between Swiss and EU authorities was not seen as ideal.
De schweiziske myndigheder var af en ganske anden opfattelse.
The Swiss authorities took a very different view.
De erkendte, at privatrettens udformning i Schweiz afstedkom visse begrænsninger i deres efterforskningsarbejde.
They recognised that the nature of the privacy laws in Switzerland imposes certain constraints on the level of investigation that they can undertake.
De havde dog ikke haft noget tilfælde af retsforfølgning i forbindelse med cigaretforsendelser inden for landets grænser.
However, they have had no prosecutions on cigarette shipments within the country.
I deres øjne begyndte vanskelighederne snarere inden for EU fremfor i de toldfri zoner i Schweiz, som mange forsendelser går igennem.
In their view the difficulties begin inside the EU rather than in the free zones in Switzerland through which many shipments pass.
De anførte, at de var meget villige til at samarbejde med andre lande.
They argued that they were very cooperative with other countries.
De har desuden et forvarslingssystem for cigaretforsendelser, hvorefter alle lande, som en forsendelse skal passere igennem, forinden får besked herom, og de samme oplysninger tilgår UCLAF i Bruxelles, hvorimod det samme, så vidt de var bekendt, ikke gjaldt alle Unionens medlemsstater.
They operate an early warning system for cigarettes, indicating to all countries through which a shipment is due to pass what is going to arrive and giving the same information to UCLAF in Brussels, information that was not in their knowledge provided by all Member States of the Union.
Siden oktober 1993 har de givet meddelelse om 3.000 af den slags varebevægelser, hvoraf halvdelen er gået til Belgien og Nederlandene.
Since October 1993 they have announced 3000 such movements of which half are going to Belgium and the Netherlands.
Meddelelse til medlemmerne nr. 38
Notice to Members No 38
Om: Besøg i Wien, Nickelsdorf og Berg den 9. og 10. september 1996 ved en delegation fra Det Midlertidige Undersøgelsesudvalg om Ordningen for Fællesskabsforsendelse
Visit by a delegation from the Committee of Inquiry into the Community Transit System to Vienna, Nickelsdorf and Berg, on 9 and 10 September 1996
Vedlagt fremsendes et kortfattet beretning om ovennævnte besøg.
Please find attached a summary record of the above visit.
Følgende medlemmer deltog i delegationens besøg i Wien, Nickelsdorf og Berg:
The following Members took part in the delegation's visit to Vienna, Nickelsdorf and Berg:
Stefano De Luca (næstformand), Edward Kellett-Bowman (ordfører), Eva Kjer-Hansen, Marcel Schlechter, Otto Bardon, Roy James Perry.
Mr Stefano De Luca (vice-chairman); Mr Edward Kellett-Bowman (rapporteur); Mrs Eva Kjer-Hansen, Mr Marcel Schlechter, Mr Otto Bardong, and Mr Roy James Perry.
Delegationen blev ledsaget af de østrigske medlemmer Herbert Bosch og Friedrich König.
The delegation was accompanied by the Austrian Members Mr Herbert Bosch and Mr Friedrich König.
Undersøgelsesudvalgets delegation blev kl. 8.30 budt velkommen af lederen for toldafdelingen i det østrigske finansministerium, Fuchs, og af Heller.
The delegation was welcomed at 8.30 a.m. by Head of the Customs Service in the Finance Ministry, Dr Fuchs, and by Dr Heller.
Kellett-Bowman takkede på undersøgelsesudvalgets vegne for indbydelsen.
Mr Kellett-Bowman expressed the committee's thanks for the invitation.
Omkring kl. 8.45 ankom undersøgelsesudvalgets næstformand De Luca og overtog hvervet soa delegationsleder.
The vice-chairman, Mr De Luca, took the chair at approximately 8.4 5 a.m.
Fuchs redegjorde først for programmets forventede forløb og kom ind pi spørgsmålene af Kellett-Bowman, Perry, König, Kjer-Hansen og Bosch.
Dr Fuchs outlined the intended programme and answered questions by Mr Kellett-Bowman, Mr Perry, Mr König and Mr Bosch
Efter hans opfattelse blev forsendelsesordningen ikke anvendt målrettet til bedrageri.
In his opinion the transit system was not being deliberately targeted for the purpose of committing fraud.
Med hensyn til skadevirkningerne måtte der sondres mellem afgiftsmæssige og samfundsøkonomiske skadevirkninger.
The distinction had to be made between fiscal and economic losses.
Således kunne f.eks. et forholdsvis lille tab af told- og afgiftsindtægter føre til store samfundsøkonomiske skader, hvis retskafne erhvervsdrivende blev kastet ud i konkurs på grund af prismæssige ulemper.
A relatively minor loss of customs and tax revenue, for example, could result in significant consequential economic losses if operators who played by the rules went out business by being put at an unfair price disadvantage.
Forsendelsesordningens udvidelse til Visegrad-landene med virkning fra 1. juli 1996 havde i praksis endnu kun haft ringe konsekvenser.
The extension of the transit syste4m to include the Visegrad States as at 1 July 1996 had as yet been slow to make an impact.
Dette skyldtes sandsynligvis, at de ungarske og slovenske banker endnu ikke havde erfaringer med udstedelsen af sikkerhedsstillelse eller kaution.
That was probably because the Hungarian and Slovak banks still had relatively little experience of issuing guarantees.
Desuden lå det også toldagenterne ved grænseovergangene meget på sinde ikke at miste markedsandele. Bedragerier ville heller ikke kunne udelukkes helt og aldeles ved at øge kontrolpersonalet ved grænserne, intensivere den fysiske kontrol eller forbedre det tekniske udstyr.
In addition, border clearance operators were concerned not to lose any share of business.
Som et første skridt til nedbringelse af bedrageririsikoen burde fristen for returnering af T1-formularsættets 5. gennemslagskopi afkortes.
As a first step towards reducing the incidence of fraud the deadline for returning copy No 5 of the T1 transit document should be shortened.
Det bedste ville være at lade en elektronisk returnering eller tilbagemelding træde i stede for den nuværende returnering med almindelig post.
The best solution would be to replace postal return notification by electronic notification .
Afslutningsvis henviste Fuchs til, at det endnu var for tidligt at vurdere forsendelsesordningens udvidelse til Visegradlandene, da ordningen endnu kun havde været gældende i to måneder i disse lande.
In conclusions, Dr Fuchs stated that it was still too soon to offer any assessment of the extension of the transit procedure to the Visegrad States since it had only be applicable in those states for two months.
Kl. 10.30 nåede delegationen frem til grænsetoldstedet Nickelsdorf ved Østrigs grænse til Ungarn.
At 10.30 a.m. the delegation arrived at the Nickelsdorf customs post on the Austro-Hungarian border.
Her blev den modtaget af toldstedets leder, Deimel.
It was welcomed by Mr Deimel, head of the customs office.
På grundlag af statistikker belyste Deimel dernæst udviklingen i trafikken over grænsen fra 1994 til 1996.
Mr Deimel produced statistics showing the increase in border traffic between 1994 and 1996.
Indrejsende personer Udrejsende personer
Persons entering Persons exiting
Indrejsende busser Udrejsende busser
Buses entering Buses exiting
Indrejsende lastbiler Udrejsende lastbiler
Haulage vehicles entering Haulage vehicles exiting
Deimel påpegede, at antallet af lovovertrædelser siden åbningen mod øst var steget med 300%.
Mr Deimel went on to point out that since the opening of the border to the East, offences had increased by 300%.
De fleste tilfælde drejede sig dog om smugleri med personbil.
Most of these were however accounted for by smuggling in private cars.
Nickelsdorf var ganske vist den største grænseovergang, men mange fragtførere undgik den.
Although Nickelsdorf was the biggest border crossing point, a good many carriers were prepared to make detours round it.
På spørgsmålene stillet af Kjer-Hansen, Bardong, De Luca, Kellett-Bowman, Perry, König og Bösch blev der givet følgende oplysninger:
In reply to questions by Mrs Kjer-Hansen, Mr Bardong, Mr De Luca, Mr Kellett Bowman, Mr Perry, Mr König and Mr Bosch, the following information was provided:
Mellem Østrig og Ungarn var der en bilateral aftale om gensidig meddelelse om transport af følsomme varer.
There existed between Austria and Hungary a bilateral agreement under which the each country notified consignments of sensitive goods to the other.
Gennem indførelse af kravet om enkeltvis kaution for følsomme varer var forsendelsesordningen blevet mere sikker, men det klassiske smugleri var stigende.
With the introduction of individual guaranty for sensitive goods the transit system had become more secure, although conventional smuggling was on the increase.
Til gennemførelse af en effektiv fysisk kontrol ville det være påkrævet med mere personale.
If physical checks were to be effective, more staff would be required.
Desuden fandt han det presserende nødvendigt at fremskynde returneringen af T1-formularsættets 5. gennemslagskopi.
He also considered it urgently necessary for the procedure for returning copy No 5 of the T1 transit document to be speeded up.
Proceduren med TIR-carneter var mere sikker, da der ved manglende frembydelse af varerne på bestemmelsesstedet ikke kunne udstedes noget nyt TIR-carnet.
The TIR carnet procedure was more secure in that failure to present consignments at the reception point meant that no new TIR carnet would be issued.
Siden forsendelsesordningens udvidelse til Visegrad-landene havde han endnu ikke kunnet konstatere nogen mærkbare ændringer.
Since the extension of the transit procedure to the Visegrad States he had not detected any significant changes.
Efter hans opfattelse var årsagen hertil, at det var vanskeligt for de ungarske speditører at opnå fyldestgørende bankgarantier.
That was, in his opinion, because it was difficult for Hungarian import-export agents to secure adequate bank guarantees.
Antallet af TIR-carneter i forhold til T1-formularer var 20 til 1 .
The ratio of TIR carnet to T1 document was 20 to 1 .
Derpå blev der stillet spørgsmål til de tilstedeværende repræsentanter for speditør- og toldagenturvirksomheder.
Questions were then put to the representatives of import-export agents and customs officials present.
Disse repræsentanter henviste til, at bedragerierne i forsendelsesordningen ikke måtte blive på speditørernes bekostning.
The latter took the view that it was wrong for fraud in the transit system to be at the expense of import-export agents.
Der var visse problemer med tilliden til speditørerne i Visegrad landene, eftersom risikoen for manglende frembydelse af varerne på bestemmelsesstedet her var større.
There were reliability problems in operating with agents from the Visegrad states since the risk of non-presentation of consignments at the reception point was higher.
Efter speditørernes opfattelse burde kun fagligt kvalificerede virksomheder med solidt kapitalgrundlag deltage i forsendelsesordningen. Visse speditører ville kun udstede forsendelsesdokumenter, hvis de kunne følge transporten fra start til slut, da risikoen derved kunne beregnes.
In the agents' view, only qualified specialist firms with a solid capital base should operate under the transit system.
Omkring kl. 11.15 mødtes delegationen med den ungarske toldforvaltnings vicegeneraldirektør, Karoly Soos, der henviste til, at forsendelsesordningen havde været i kraft i to måneder, og at den fungerede.
At approximately 11.15 a.m. the delegation met the Deputy Director-General of the Hungarian Customs Service, Dr Karoly Soos.
Forberedelserne til indførelse af forsendelsesordningen havde været effektive.
Dr Soos stated that the transit system had been in place for two months and was functionaing.
For tiden blev der til udførslen fra Østeuropa fortsat i højere grad gjort brug af proceduren med TIR-carneter.
The preparations for the transit system had been effective. At present, there was a preference for using the TIR carnet system for exports from Eastern Europe.
Der kunne dog for fremtiden påregnes en mere udbredt anvendelse af TI-ordningen.
But the use of the T1 system could be expected to increase in the future.
Forsendelsesordningen var for ni måneder siden blevet indført som forsøgs- eller pilotprojekt med jernbanerne.
The transit system had been introduced nine months previously as a pilot project with the railways.
Her havde der ikke været et eneste tilfælde af bedrageri.
There had not been a single case of fraud.
På spørgsmål af König, Kellett-Bowman, Perry og Kjer-Hansen meddelte Soos, at pengene fra PHARE-programmet fortrinsvis blev brugt på toldkontorernes udrustning.
In reply to questions from Mr König, Mr Kellett-Bowman, Mr Perry and Mrs Kjer-Hansen, Mr Soos explained that PHARE programme appropriations had been used
Omkring kl. 12.15 afsluttedes besøget på grænsetoldstedet Nickelsdorf.
The inspection of the Nickelsdorf customs post was concluded at approximately 12 15 p.m.
Omkring kl. 14.55 ankom delegationen til toldstedet Berg ved Østrigs grænse til Slovakiet, hvor de blev budt velkommen af toldstedets leder, Drescher.
At approximately 2 55 p.m. the delegation arrived at the customs post at Berg on the Austrian-Slovakian border, where it was welcomed by the head of the customs office, Mr Drescher.
Denne meddelte, at repræsentanten for det slovakiske toldvæsen, Ljubomir Martincak, ikke kunne deltage i drøftelsen på grund af pludselig opstået sygdom.
Mr Drescher, stated that the representative of the Slovakian customs administration, Mr Ljubomir Martincak, was unable to take part in the talks owing to sudden illness.
Drescher henviste til, at kun lidt havde ændret sig siden 1. juli 1996.
Mr Drescher pointed out that little had changed since 1 July 1996.
Det forholdt sig stadig således, at de fleste forsendelsestransaktioner begyndte og sluttede på grænsetoldstedet Berg og ikke i Slovakiet.
It was still the case that most transit procedures started and finished at the Berg customs post and not in Slovakia.
