Fru Herklotz, medlem af Parlamentet, var den 28. juni 1979 ude for en anonym anmeldelse, hvori det hævdedes, at der var begået visse uregelmæssigheder i forbindelse med forvaltningen i tidsrummet november 1974 til oktober 1976 af en forening for samfunds lære, som fru Herklotz i den periode var formand for.
On 28 June 1979, anonymous information was given against Mrs Herklotz, a Member of this Parliament, claiming certain irregularities in the administration of a civic association between November 1974 and October 1976; Mrs Herklotz was the chairman of the association at that time.
Anmodningen om ophævelse af fru Herklotz' parlamentariske immunitet er fremsat af anklagemyndigheden i Frankenthal i Pfalz og sendt til formanden for Europa-Parlamentet af Forbundsrepublikken Tysklands justitsminister.
The request for the parliamentary immunity of Mrs Herklotz to be lifted has been made by the Public Prosecutor's Office at Frankenthal, in the Palatinate, and forwarded to the President of the European Parliament by the Federal Minister of Justice.
Retshjælpsforsikringen er en form for skadesforsikring og klassificeres under nr. 17 i bilag A til direktivet af 24. juli 1973, grunddirektivet for harmonisering af forsikringerne, som vedrørte samordningen af de administrativt eller ved lov fastsatte bestemmelser om adgang til og udøvelse af direkte forsikringsvirksomhed, bortset fra livsforsikring.
The committee finds it necessary to draw up a report on a petition in only a few cases. In the first half of this year this happened only once: that was on the subject of the incompatibility of the French monopoly in regard to insemination with the 'provisions of the Treaty — a report by Mr Patterson which was adopted without debate in the June part-session.
I dette direktiv, som havde til formål at indføre fri etableringsret for forsikringsselskaber, blev der gjort en vigtig undtagelse for Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland: denne medlemsstat fik nemlig mulighed for indtil en senere samordning — som man regnede med skulle finde sted inden for en frist på fire år efter meddelelse af direktivet — på sit område at opretholde forbudet mod, at sygeforsikring, kredit- og kautionsforsikring eller retshjælpsforsikring udøves sideløbende eller samtidig med andre klasser.
Finally, let me say that I hope Members will study this communication closely, for petitions, as I said earlier, are an important aspect of Parliament's links with the individual citizen, even if they do not appear very often on Parliament's agenda.
Efter at retsudvalget har hørt fru Herklotz, konstaterer det, at de forhold, der ligger til grund for den anonyme anmeldelse af fru Herklotz, står i forbindelse med dennes politiske virke, idet deltagelse i udbygningen af samfundslæren har forbindelse med ' politisk virksomhed.
After hearing evidence from Mrs Herklotz, the Legal Affairs Committee noted that the facts which constitute the basis of the anonymous information against Mrs Herklotz are connected with her political activities, since a contribution to action to promote civic training has a direct bearing on political activity.
Retsudvalget har konstateret, at anmeldelsens anonyme karakter, dens sene fremkomst i forhold til de anmeldte forhold, selve datoen for anmeldelsen, som anklagemyndigheden har modtaget i de efter meddelelsen om resultaterne af valgene til Europa-Parlamentet påfølgende uger — på hvilket tidspunkt den kompetente myndighed allerede havde klarlagt og afsluttet sagen, fører til den slutning, at der er tale om en tendentiøs klage, hvis formål er at stille hindringer i vejen for udøvelsen af mandatet som parlamentsmedlem.
The Legal Affairs Committee noted that the anonymous nature of the information, the delay in submitting it and the fact that the information was received by the Court in the weeks immediately following the announcement of the results of the elections to the European Parliament, by which time the competent authorities had already clarified and settled the matter — all combined to suggest that this was a tendentious complaint aimed at obstructing the Member of Parlia ment in the exercise of her mandate.
I betragtning af at intet medlem af min gruppe agter at tage ordet under denne forhandling, kan jeg på min gruppes vegne sige, at vi støtter den indstilling, som flertallet i retsudvalget har gjort.
President. — The next item is the report by Mr Fischbach, on behalf of the Legal Affairs Committee, on a request to waive the parliamentary immunity of a Member (Doc. 1-321/81).
Kommissionens forslag til Rådet om retshjælpsforsikring har til formål at gennemføre den samordning, som blev påbegyndt gennem direktivet af 24. juli 1973, samt at ophæve forbudet mod at tegne retshjælpsforsikring sammen med andre forsikringsformer.
For all these reasons and pursuant to Rule 5 (2) of our Rules of Procedure, the Legal Affairs Committee, after discussing the reasons for or against the waiving of immunity, decided by a very large majority to recommend that Parliament should not waive the immunity of Mrs Herklotz.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
Mr Fischbach, rapporteur. — (FR) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, to avoid from the start any
De Gucht skadesreguleringen til et i juridisk henseende selv stændigt selskab, jo er og bliver en tydelig krænkelse af etableringsfriheden og faktisk sandsynligvis ikke adskiller sig ret meget fra den undtagelse, som direktivet af 24. juli 1973 hidtil har fastlagt.
IN THE CHAIR: MR ROGERS which are frequent in this sector of insurance, to the absolute minimum.
Endelig mente modstanderne, at den formelle etableringsfrihed i dette forslag til harmonisering til syvende og sidst vejer tungere end den eventuelle beskyttelse mod interessekonflikter. Det er altså et tydeligt eksempel på minimal harmoni sering, men ikke desto mindre mener retsudvalget, at det i det store og hele kan støtte Kommissionens forslag, og derfor anbefaler det, at forslaget støttes.
This directive takes as its basis the concept of freedom of establishment, although it must be noted that the fact that one Member State still has the possibility of requiring insurance companies which are active in several different branches — the multibranch companies — to entrust settlement of claims to a legally independent firm amounts to a clear infringe­ment of the right to freedom of establishment and does not' differ greatly from the exception already made in the directive of 24 July 1973.
Tugendhat, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (EN) Hr. formand, forslaget til direktiv om retshjælpsforsikring har to formål, sagde ordføreren.
The Commission's proposal contains six measures to prevent conflicts of interest between the insurer and the insured party:
Denne tvangsspecialisering hindrer flerbrancheforsikringsselskaber fra andre fællesskabs lande i at komme ind i Tyskland og afskærmer dermed effektivt det tyske marked mod nogen konkurrence udefra.
separation of the management of legal expenses insurance from other branches in multibranch undertakings;
For det andet en forpligtelse for sådanne virksomheder til at foretage særskilt bogføring for branchen »retshjælpsforsikring« og de andre brancher, i hvilken forbindelse der eventuelt også kan gælde visse andre ordninger; jeg tænker f.eks. på kreditforsikringen, som har været emne for et særskilt forslag fra Kommissionen.
for the same undertakings, a requirement to keep separate accounts for the legal expenses and other sectors where certain other regulations may possibly apply (I have in mind credit insurance, which has been the subject of a separate Commission proposal) ;
For det tredje forpligtelse til at optage garantien for retshjælp i en særskilt aftale og i det mindste at gøre en tydelig forskel i de klausuler, som vedrører denne.
the requirement to include the legal expenses guar­antee in a separate contract or at least to make a clear distinction in the clauses applicable to it;
For det fjerde er forsikringsselskabet forpligtet til at under rette forsikringstageren om mulige interessekonflikter, der kan opstå i en multibranchevirksomhed, som også tegner retshjælpsforsikring.
the insurer is required to provide information to the insured party on possible conflicts of interest which may arise in a multibranch company which also accepts legal expenses business;
For det femte det garanterede frie valg af advokat.
a guarantee of the right to choose a legal represen­tative freely ;
For det sjette særskilt personale, der beskæftiger sig med retshjælp i et specialiseret selskab, med andre ord et selskab, der kun beskæftiger sig med retshjælp, men som har forbindelse med andre selskaber i den samme sektor.
separation of the personnel responsible for legal assistance in a specialized company that is to say, a company which undertakes only legal expenses insurance but does have links with other companies active in the same sector.
Det andet formål med direktivet er vedtagelse af foranstaltninger, der i så vid udstrækning som muligt kan hindre interessekonflikter mellem den,' der har tegnet en retshjælpsforsikring, og forsikringsselskabet.
Mr De Gucht, rapporteur. — (NL)- Mr President, this proposal relates to coordination of the statutory and administrative provisions in the Member States relating to legal expenses insurance.
Sådanne interessekonflikter kunne f.eks. opstå, når samme selskab har tegnet ansvarsforsikring for den forsikrede over for tredjemand og over for en anden, der også er part i sagen.
Legal expenses insurance is a form of damage insurance and is listed as branch No 17 in Annex A of the Directive of 24 July 1973, which is the basic directive for the harmonization of insurance activities with a view to the coordination of statutory and administrative provi­sions governing access to direct insurance business with the exception of the life assurance branch and the exercise of life assurance activities.
Jeg siger: i så vid udstrækning som muligt, hr. formand, for en analyse af situationen viser, at det er umuligt helt at hindre sådanne eventuelle interessekonflikter.
This directive, aimed at introducing freedom of establishment in the insurance sector, makes an important exception for the Federal Republic of Germany; until such time as further coordination is. effected — which is expected to be done within four years of notification of the directive — that Member State is being allowed the possibility of maintaining the prohibition on its terri­tory of combining sickness insurance, credit and guar­antee insurance with legal expenses insurance, either individually or in conjunction with other classes of insurance.
Jeg vil gerne beskrive nogle af de måder, hvorpå vort forslag prøver i flertallet af medlemsstaterne at forbedre forbrugerens, dvs. den forsikredes, stilling. Den vigtigste bestemmelse i den henseende er artikel 5 i direktivet, ifølge hvilken den retshjælpsforsikrede frit kan vælge den advokat, der skal varetage hans interesser.
The purpose of the proposal from the Commission to the Council on the subject of legal expenses insurance is to complete the coordination first started by the Directive of 24 July 1973 and to abolish the prohibi­tion on combined insurance activities in the case of legal expenses insurance too.
Denne valgfrihed med hensyn til advokat er udtryk for en betydelig forbedring, eftersom dette for øjeblikket ikke tillades af ret mange af flerbrancheforsikringsselskaberne. Vi har indført denne bestemmelse, fordi vi fandt, at det var en farlig praksis, at flerbrancheforsikringsselskabet selv valgte advokat.
The Commission's proposal has two purposes: to ensure freedom of establishment for legal expenses insurance and, so as to make that freedom of establishment possible, to include in the directive a number of measures aimed at removing conflicts of interest between the insurer and the insured party or at least at limiting such conflicts,
Kommissionen mener, at disse seks foranstaltninger til ophævelse af interessekonflikter skaber de nødvendige forudsætninger for at ophæve forbudet mod side løbende udøvelse af forskellig forsikringsvirksomhed, som altså som sagt var bibeholdt i grunddirektivet af 1973.
The Commission believes that these six measures aimed at eliminating conflicts of interest create the conditions necessary for removing the prohibition on joint activities which was still maintained in the 1973 basic directive.
Der var i retsudvalget en fundamental meningsforskel vedrørende Kommissionens standpunkt.
There was a fundamental difference of opinion in the Legal Affairs Committee on the position adopted by the Commission.
Det har derfor været emne for en indgående drøftelse, som førte til en principiel afstemning, af begge systemer: på den ene side systemet med multibranchevirksomheder, som beskæftiger sig med både retshjælp og andre former for forsikring — i den forstand at der også nævnes en række foranstaltninger til at undgå interessekonflikter — og på den anden side en forpligtet adskillelse af udøvelsen af retshjælpsforsikring og de andre former for forsikring.
It was therefore made the subject of a wideranging exchange of views which led to a general vote on the two systems: firstly, the system of multibranch companies responsible both for legal-expenses insurance and for other 'sectors of insurance — with the proviso that a number of condi­tions must be met to prevent conflicts of interest — and, alternatively, a deliberate distinction between the practice of legal-expenses insurance and other branches of insurance.
Denne principielle afstemning gav et meget lille flertal for systemet med multibranchevirksomheder med garantier for forsikringstageren.
This general vote revealed a small majority in favour of the system of multibranch companies with guarantees for the insured party.
Resultatet af afstemningen var nemlig ti stemmer for og ti imod, således at Kommissionens forslag gjorde udslaget.
The result of the vote was ten in favour and ten against, so that the committee chairman's vote was decisive, ι
Tugendhat selskabet til at underrette forsikringstageren om ethvert forhold, der kan føre til en interessekonflikt.
The system would only create other political conflicts of interest between the policyholder and the insurer.
Man har overvejet en række løsninger.
Firstly, they felt that in its present form the directive provided only a formal solution to conflicts of interest and in reality would have no effect.
Nogle mennesker, herunder vore tyske venner, siger, at den eneste måde at undgå interessekonflikter på er specialisering, og dermed mener de kravet om, at et selskab kun må drive forretning med denne ene forsikringsform.
Finally, the opponents maintained that in this proposal for harmonization, formal freedom of establishment seemed to outweigh protection against conflicts of interest.
Det forslag, Kommissionen allerede har vedtaget, er måske ikke perfekt,· men efter vor opfattelse er det det bedste til rådighed værende middel til at nå vort mål, nemlig en ordentlig forbrugerbeskyttelse, ved at hindre interessekonflikter og hidføre fri nedsættelsesret på dette område overalt i Fællesskabet, herunder også Forbundsrepublikken Tyskland.
Nevertheless, the Legal Affairs Committee feels able to support the broad lines of the Commission's proposal and therefore delivers a favourable opinion on it.
Parlamentets retsudvalg har efter lange drøftelser vedtaget et forslag til beslutning, der godkender den generelle tankegang bag vor tekst. Jeg håber meget, at Parlamentet på sin side vil kunne godkende denne holdning.
I should like, however, to refer to a clause which may be included mainly in order to adapt the directive to the situation in Germany where specialization is compulsory, because I think it is important that, though the others should not have to move too far towards Germany, there should be some special provisions made in order to meet the problems which arise in the German market.
Men før jeg slutter, bør jeg sige et par ord om de ændringsforslag, der er stillet; vi har først modtaget dem i eftermiddag, og nogle af dem er vistnok på sprog, jeg ikke taler eller forstår. Vi vil selvfølgelig studere dem med samme omhu som dem,' der er på fransk og engelsk.
We have left open the possibility that a state may require that a composite insurance company, wishing to become established on its territory, must delegate the settlement of claims and the legal expenses insurance sector to a company which is a separate legal entity.
Det vil fremgå af mine bemærkninger, at der er en række, der går ud på at ændre den retning, hvori Kommissionens forslag går, og som vi derfor ikke kan acceptere.
These states, like the others, would thus have a choice of accepting composite insurance companies as such, or requiring them to use a separate company for the settlement of claims.
Specielt kan dét være til nytte for forsamlingen, hvis jeg allerede nu siger, at vi af de grunde, jeg har angivet, går imod ændringsforslag nr. 10 af hr. Tyrrell, nr. 11 og 12 af fru Seibel-Emmerling og nr. 13, 14 og 16 af hr. Geurtsen, hr. Sieglerschmidt og hr. de Goede.
Mr Tugendhat, Vice-President of the Commission. — Mr President, the proposal for a directive on legal expenses insurance has two aims, the rapporteur has said.
Nogle af de andre, f.eks. nr. 1 til 3, volder os ikke særlige vanskelig heder, men der er adskillige, yder, som jeg sagde, endnu ikke foreligger på alle Fællesskabets sprog, og som jeg derfor på indeværende tidspunkt må afholde mig fra at tage stilling til.
The first is to achieve freedeom of establishment for this class of insurance in Germany, where compulsory specialization at present prevails. .This compulsory specialization prevents composite insurance companies from other Community countries from becoming established in Germany and thus in effect insulates the German market in this type of insurance from any outside competition.
Vi vil selvfølgelig gennemgå dem lige så nøjagtigt som de andre, og vi skal tage dem under overvejelse.
Under the 1973 directive, this situation, which is, of course, the complete antithesis of freedom of establishment, is allowed to continue for a short time only.
For det andet: 15 af de 23 tyske specialselskaber tilhører en gruppe forsikringsselskaber eller assurandører, der driver motorkøretøjsansvarsforsikring.
The Commission's services have held a number of meetings with government experts on this issue and have examined thoroughly the legal and financial aspects.
Det ville have betydet, at de 15 selskaber, jeg nævnte, ville forsvinde, og det ville have været et alvorligt, måske dødbringende slag mod en forsikringsform, som er af stor værdi for forsikringstageren. Der er derfor ikke nogen holdbar grund til at kræve af multibrancheforsikringsselskaberne, der findes i alle lande i Fællesskabet undtagen Tyskland, at de skal afvikle deres interne struktur og dele sig i to for at følge et specialiseret system.
The proposal which the Commission has already adopted may not be perfect, but in our judgment it represents the best available means of achieving our object, by which I mean the proper protection of consumers, through the prevention of conflicts of interest and the achievement of freedom of establish ment in this field throughout the Community, including the Federal Republic of Germany.
En sådan ordning ville kun skabe andre politiske interessekonflikter mellem forsikringstageren og selskabet.
The second aim of the directive is the adoption of measures to prevent, as far as possible, conflicts of interest between an insured person covered by a legal expenses insurance policy and his insurer.
Det ville derfor, hr. formand, være helt urimeligt at foreslå, at ni ud af de ti medlemmer af Fællesskabet skulle ændre deres forsikringspraksis af hensyn til det tiende, når der ikke er nogen objektiv grund til at gøre det.
Such conflicts of interest might arise, for example, where the same insurer covers the insured person for third party liability and another insured person involved in the case, as well.
Seibel-Emmerling. — (DE) Hr. formand, som ordfører for udtalelsen fra udvalget for miljø- og sundhedsanliggender og forbrugerbeskyttelse finder jeg det egentlig ikke helt fair, at kommissæren får ordet før ordførerne for udvalgene.
I say as far as possible, Mr President, because an analysis of the situation shows that it is impossible to prevent such possible conflicts of interest altogether.
Vi har ladet den mulighed stå åben, at en medlemsstat kan forlange, at et flerbrancheselskab, der vil etablere sig på dens territorium, skal delegere skadesreguleringen i forbindelse med retshjælpsforsikring til et juridisk selvstændigt selskab — det er artikel 3, stk. 3.
But before concluding, I should say a word about the amendments that have been tabled which we have only received this afternoon, and some of which are, I am afraid, in languages that I do not speak or. . .
Ifølge min talerliste skulle hr. Tugendhat have ordet for at begrunde Kommissionens forslag, hvilket måske, måske ikke, kunne være gavnligt for forhandlingen.
The most important measure in this respect is Article 5 of the directive, under which the legal expenses insurance policy holder may freely choose the lawyer who is to defend his interests.
Denne mulighed skal stå åben for alle medlemsstater, men vil formentlig væsentligst være af interesse for Tyskland og muligvis Nederlandene, hvor en sådan ordning allerede findes og fungerer tilfredsstillende.
Mrs Seibel-Emmerling. — (DE) Mr President, may I point out that as draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and
Formanden. — .Næste punkt på dagsordenen er spørgetid (dok. 1-334/81).
President. — The next item is Question Time (Doc. 1-334/81). -334/81).
Vi begynder med spørgsmålene til Kommissionen.
We begin with questions to the Commission.
Spørgsmål nr. 1 af Hutton (H-135/81):
Question No 1, by Mr Hutton (H-135/81):
I dokumentet »Betragtninger over den fælles landbrugs politik« udtaler Kommissionen, at »forsøg på at forbedre strukturforholdene inden for den fælles politik (bør) ledsages af tiltag i skovbrugssektoren«.
In the paper 'Reflections on the Common Agricultural Policy', the Commission says: 'Efforts to improve the structural aspects of the Common Agricultural Policy should be accompanied by initiatives in the forestry sector'.
Hvilke skridt har Kommissionen i sinde at tage?
What initiatives does the Commission propose to take?
politik i Fællesskabet, møder mellem direktørerne for forskningsinstitutter på skovbrugsområdet, samordning af forskningen, et fælles program for den hollandske elmesyge, egetræ som råmateriale, energi fra biomasse m.v., samarbejde inden for beskyttelse mod og forhindring af skovbrande, leverancer af tømmer til industrien, harmonisering af skovbrugslovgivningen, træsåning op planteskoler, fytosanitære foranstaltninger, klassificering af træ, fri etablering og bestemmelser for tjenesteydelser, private skovbrug og jagthytter.
What other activities, asked Mr Hutton, concerning forestry does the Commission intend to conduct? Well, the coordination of forestry policies of Member States, meetings of the heads of forestry services, the objectives and principles of forestry policy in the Community, meetings of directors of forestry research institutes, the coordination of research, a common programme on Dutch elm disease, oakwood as raw material, energy of biomass and so on, cooperation in the field of forest-fire protection and prevention, timber supplies for timber industries, the harmonization of forestry legislation, tree seeds and nursery plants, phytosanitary measures, the classification of wood in the rough, freedom of establishment and the provision of services, self-employed persons in forestry and lodging.
Dernæst kommer strukturelle foranstaltninger for Fællesskabets middelhavsområder samt for det vestlige Irland, øerne vest for Skotland, departementet Lozère, de franske oversøiske departementer.
Then come the structural measures concerning, first, Mediterranean zones of the Community, second, the West of Ireland, third, the Western Isles of Scotland, fourth, the Department of Lozère, fifth, French Overseas Departments.
