Mine damer og herrer, jeg vil gerne på min gruppes vegne, men også som formand for udvalget for budgetkontrol, takke vor hovedordfører hjerteligt for dette stykke arbejde, der ligger langt over gennem snittet, og som han har ydet for Parlamentet og for Det europæiske Fællesskab. Vi skal i dag i fællesskab drøfte betænkninger, som omfatter næsten et helt års arbejde i udvalget for budgetkontrol.
Therefore, Mr President, in conclusion, the cost of the unsatisfactory response to the discharge resolution of the European Parliament last year, because of the fail ure to observe the annuality of the budget, because of its failure to implement the explicit wishes of this House, because of the inadequate response to the challenge of the agricultural market for external trade, the Commission has come perilously close to a refusal of the discharge on the 1979 accounts.
Jeg vil dog også gerne takke Parlamentets enkelte udvalg.
We trust they can do better in future.
Jeg ved, at man ikke fandt det så let, at blive underkastet kontrol fra et andet udvalg.
They must do better in future.
Det har ikke alene givet os selvstændige betænkninger til vor kontrolbetænkning — og det ikke blot fra et fagligt synspunkt men også fra et kontrolsynspunkt — men det har gjort noget, som virkelig har været mig til stor glæde, idet det har besluttet, at man i fremtiden vil
If this Parliament is not convinced of the real improve ment from today, I am sure the Commission will have to face not only a refusal for the discharge of the 1980/81 accounts, but they will feel the very real risk of a formal vote of censure for their disregard of the express wishes of this House.
Endnu en indledende bemærkning, hr. formand; jeg ønskede egentlig at rette den til den forrige formand, og takke ham for at han indledningsvis understregede betydningen af den debat, der finder sted i dag; jeg kunne ønske mig, at hele præsidiet delte denne opfattelse. Jeg tror ikke, at noget andet parlament i Europa har rådighed over et så stærkt instrument i forbindelse med Fællesskabets og Revisionsretten for De europæiske Fællesskabers forfatning.
The fifth point — and I was very pleased Mr Tugendhat mentioned it because it is often ignored inside this Parliament when we discuss the budget — is on food aid, because we sometimes forget in our preoccupation with our own European problems — which obviously cannot be underestimated — that the aid which the Community can give the developing world will be a highly important factor in redressing the balance in equality for the rest of this century.
Således vil vi være bedre informeret, når vi påbegynder vore kontrolbetænkninger. Jeg håber, at dette eksempel vil blive fulgt af de andre udvalg.
President. — I call the Group of the European People's Party (ChristianDemocratic Group).
På vort sidste besøg i datacentret, drøftede vi, om det ikke er muligt, at gøre varestrømmene i landbrugssektoren mere transparente ved at benytte sig af moderne datalogi, således at man straks kunne erkende en forkert udvikling, eller i det mindste være i besiddelse af indikatorer, som kan vise en forkert udvikling, således at Fællesskabet kan reagere i tide.
For that reason, you should not regard it as a hostile' act on our part when we simply make a point which is intended as a suggestion to enable things to be done better in the future.
Dens forgænger har flere gange givet Parlamentet urigtige oplysninger vedrørende størrelsen af landbrugseksporten til statshandelslande.
We are unfortunately the target of a large number of quite deliberate false reports, reports which are part of a clearly directed campaign against this Parliament.
For det andet blev landbrugsmarkedsordningerne både i 1979 og i 1980. både efter Revisionsrettens og udvalgets mening forvaltet så ringe, at de kostede de europæi ske skatteydere et par hundreder millioner regningsenheder mere end nødvendigt.
I could give you any number of examples of cases in which we — or rather, I in my capacity as the Chairman of the Committee on Budgetary Control — have endeavoured to produce clear figures to give the lie to these fabrications.
Vi havde meget vanskelige diskussioner med Kommissionen og dens tjenestemænd vedrørende dette spørgsmål, og jeg tror, at vor kraftige reaktion — og der er eksperter, der ligeledes bekræfter dette — allerede på nuværende tidspunkt har sparet de europæiske skatteydere for hundreder af millioner regningsenheder.
When we then dig a little deeper — and this, Mr Key, is the surprising and disturbing thing — to find out where these misleading reports about the European Parliament originate, it turns out that the initiative comes from within the House itself, from people who have got themselves elected to this House not to help in building Europe, but to prevent any such thing happening.
Hr. Tugendhat, De sagde, at man nemmere kan bedømme markedet siden end før.
Really, Mr Tugendhat, that is not the job of the Court of Auditors, nor is it the job of this House as a control institution.
Mærkede De ikke, at De med denne bemærkning egentlig indrømmede, at De faktisk reagerede forkert, da markedsvilkårene var helt anderledes, end de havde antaget?
As this House has no legislative powers, we must seek to use the combination of budgetary rights and our control function to formulate and realize our political will.
Kære kolleger, hvorledes er det gået til, at der har fundet en forkert udvikling sted i administrationen af markedsordningen?
There is one further preliminary remark I would like to make, Mr President: I really wanted to address it to your predecessor in the chair to thank him for stress ing at the beginning of the debate the importance of today's debate. I only wish his views were shared by all his colleagues in the Bureau.
De ved, at jeg lidenskabeligt for svarer den europæiske landbrugsmarkedspolitik; jeg hører ikke til dem, som bedømmer den europæiske landbrugspolitik negativt, fordi der her og der har fundet en forkert udvikling sted, tværtimod.
I think I am right in saying that no other Parliament anywhere in Europe has access to such a powerful instrument, taken in conjunction with the Community constitution and the European Court of Auditors.
Jeg mener, at den europæiske landbrugspolitik er en af Det europæiske Fællesskabs store successer.
No other Parliament has such a powerful right of control and such a strong legal position as regards budgetary control as the European Parliament.
Men der er to grunde til at administrationen af markedsordningen har udviklet sig forkert.
But the practical application of these benefits must develop slowly; it is not the kind of thing you can expect to happen from one day to the next.
For det første er oplysningerne vedrørende udvikr lingen på markedet og markedssituationen for land
The paragraph in question merely makes a point, which is not in itself a hostile act. All we are doing is making a point which has arisen from
På grund af tidnød vil jeg forsøge at fremlægge udvalget for budgetkontrols politik vedrørende anvendelse af overskuddene med en eneste formel.
Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of my Gropp, and in my capacity as Chairman of the Committee on Budgetary Control, I should like to thank our general rapporteur most sincerely for the way-above-average work he has put in for this House and for the European Community.
Hvis Fællesskabet f.eks tegner sig for 60 % af verdensmarkedet i mælkesektoren, men giver afkald på at kontrollere prisen og overlader dette til andre, så må der da være noget galt!
We are today debating jointly a number of reports which together cover virtually the work of an entire year on the part of the Committee on Budgetary Control. I should also like to address a word of thanks to the other specialized committees of this House.
Det er fuldstændigt umuligt bare at gå over til dagsordenen og sige, at alt skal blive som det hele tiden har været, vi overlader
We had certain difficulties to begin with, but I must say that these were almost entirely cleared up over the course of the last year.
Aigner alt til handelsstrukturerne og øver ingen indflydelse overhovedet på markedsforholdene.
That kind of involve ment will enable us to be all the better informed when we start work on our control reports.
Mine damer og herrer, jeg synes det er ganske betegnende, at den røde franske millionær for kort tid siden i et interview besvarede spørsmålet om, hvor ledes det dog havde været ham muligt at blive millardær på så kort tid, med: »På grund af mine handelspartneres dumhed!«
Firstly, the information on market developments and the market situation for agricultural exports from the Community is completely inadequate, and in fact some of the information comes from precisely those people who are trying to feed the Commission with false information to get it to take mistaken decisions so as to boost their profits.
Det hele er jo nu en gang så vanskeligt; markedsordningen er jo ikke noget, alle og enhver umiddelbart kan forstå.
I should like to make the point that all our decisions were taken unanimously.
Alt, hvad der bliver forelagt Kommissionen, bliver formuleret af generaldirektoretet for landbrug, og selv om Kommissionen er et kollegium, råder den ikke over sagkundskab til at kunne beherske, kontrollere og styre sin administration politisk at kontrollere den og at sammenkæde den. Jeg tror — det er en skam, at Kommissionens formand ikke er til stede, men jeg skal nok sige det til ham personligt — at Kommissionen ikke kan undgå at drage personalepolitiske konsekvenser for igen at opnå politisk kontrol over generaldirektoratet for landbrug.
Even in the question of the 203 million EUA, which took up many hours of discussion, we succeeded last night — thanks in part to the nocturnal wisdom shown by some of our colleagues — to reach full agreement, so that I can say that the report and the decisions we are now recommending for your approval represent the concerted opinion of our Committee.
Men nu har vi de endelige tal: I 1978 leverede vi 20 876 tons smør til statshandelslandene, i 1979 134 649 tons, det vil sige fra 20 000 tons til 134 000 tons. Hvad angår korneksporten til statshandelslandene — og det til trods for den embargo, som Kommissionen har deltaget i — er der blevet leveret 247 000 tons i 1979 og i 1980 langt over en million.
Mr President, despite considerable reservations on the part of the committee — which I would not seek to deny — we are this year recommending that a discharge be granted in the hope that the Commission will comply with the conditions set out in the motion for a resolution tabled by our general rapporteur and by the other rapporteurs.
Man kan da ikke informere Parlamentet på denne måde vedrørende så afgørende politiske spørgsmål!
The second reason — just as dangerous — is to be found in the structure of the management committees.
Kære kolleger, jeg vil gerne ganske kort komme ind på endnu et par punkter. I vor betænkning om Revisionsrettens årsberetning kan vi ikke indgående gennemlyse alle de forhold, der er blevet kontrolleret og virkelig underkaste dem fuld parlamentarisk kontrol.
The delays brought about by the national bureaucracies and the lackadaisical decisions taken by the Commissjon have resulted in mistaken and belated decisions which have cost the taxpayer hundreds of millions of units of account.
Vi har derfor en række særbetænkninger under udarbejdelse.
I can give you the precise figures to illustrate my point.
Jeg vil blot nævnte dem i telegramstil: En betænkning vedrørende lokalepolitik, et spørgsmål som interesserer Parlamentet i særlig grad på grund af de tre arbejdssteder; en betænkning vedrørende EKSF 1978/79, et meget vigtigt emne, som vedrører spørgsmålet om skjult og officiel national støtte; betænkning vedrørende Dublin-instituttet, samt to udtalelser vedrørende budgetreformen.
I was astonished to discover that, between 1 January and 16 November 1979, the export refund for butter was 198.191 ECU — in other words, as good as 200 ECU — despite the fact that market study had — according to the Commission's own documents — shown that the market was positively gasping for butter and would without doubt take up the Community's surplus.
Mine damer og herrer, landbrugsudgifterne udgør nu engang mellem 60 og 70 % af vort budget.
Despite this, however, the refund amount was not reduced.
Hr. Tugendhat, her er jeg enig med Dem, Revisionsrettens kritik af Kommissionen, gælder på mange punkter også Parlamentet og de andre institutioner.
However, our major reservations — and this criticism Mr Tugenhat is something you must reply to in public here in this House — relate to two conclusions the committee was unfortunately bound to draw.
Jeg ved, at der stiller sig store vanskeligheder i vejen for en admini stration i forbindelse med udgiftspolitikken, og i særlig grad i forbindelse med den vanskelige beslut ningsstruktur, det vanskelige kompetencespørgsmål i Parlamentet.
On a number of occasions the outgoing Commission failed to tell the truth to this House concerning the extent of agricultural exports to Statetrading countries.
Hvem er egentlig kompetent med hensyn til udgifter? Er det Præsidiet, er det kvæstorerne, er det budgetudvalget?
Secondly, in the view of the Court of Auditors and of the committee, the agricultural market organizations were so badly managed in 1979 and also in 1980 that it cost the European taxpayer a few hundred million units of account more than was really necessary.
De ved, hvilke konflikter vi har haft i de sidste uger — det kan hr. Lange bekræfte. Alt dette må afklares.
This is the unanimous view of the Committee on Budgetary Control, and it is a view which is backed up by numerous experts in all the national capitals — and also of course by the Court of Auditors.
En af Kommissionens embedsmænd har ganske vist forklaret mig, at han ikke havde troet, at russerne kunne afsætte noget sådant til deres forbrugere, men jeg har selv prøvet det: Det er et glimrende fedtstof, og det har samme smeltepunkt som smør.
If, for example, these experts criticize the fact that market conditions were totally ignored in the marketing of skimmedmilk powder and that the policy pursued was purely one of getting rid of the surpluses as quickly as possible and at any cost, and if even French Government circles, which are really not interested in the export and marketing of these surpluses, refer to mistakes which have cost the Community hundreds of millions, you cannot simply do as Mr Tugendhat has done today and ignore the criticism and pretend that everything was sweetness and light and the criticism was a hostile act which could not be tolerated.
Det gik naturligvis som varmt brød.
(Applause from various quarters)
Hr. Tugendhat, jeg viger ikke tilbage for at formulere det skarpt.
You said, Mr Tugendhat, that it was easier to assess the market situation with the benefit of hindsight.
Deres tale har bevist, at intet er mere nødvendigt end den parlamentariske kontrol med Kommissionen.
Do you not realize that, by saying this, you have in effect admitted that your response was the wrong one inasmuch as the market conditions were entirely different from what you had assumed?
Det er umuligt at påstå, at Kommissionens politiske kontrol med denne sektors admini
As there is so little time available, I shall try to put the views of the Committee on Budgetary Control on the
Vi har endvidere en betænkning vedrørende kornpolitikken.
Let us take a look, ladies and gentlemen, at how this mismanagement of the market organization came about.
Her var der egentlig en overraskelse for mig.
As you know, I am a confirmed supporter of the common agricultural policy.
Selv om den nye amerikanske regering har ophævet kornembargoen, har den samtidig forbudt smøreksport til'Sovjetunionen.
I am not one of those who take a negative view of the CAP because certain mistakes have been made here or there — quite the contrary.
Medens den altså eksporterer korn, gør den alt for at blokere eksporten af smør.
I believe the common agricultural policy to be one of the European Community's major successes.
På dette område må De forenede Stater og Fællesskabet
However, there aré two reasons for the mistakes in the management of the market organization. ization.
Kommissionen må fremlægge sin politik på dette område og træffe beslutninger.
Under the circumstances, you surely do not expect this House to hold its fire, simply accept what has been going on and tell the Commission to keep up the good work.
vil acceptere Revisionsrettens henstilling, det vil sige, at beløbet skal tillægges 1979-budgettet, men dette er helt ekceptionelt.
utilization of the surpluses in a nutshell. If, for in stance, the Community controls 60% of the world market in the milk sector, but leaves it up to others to dictate the pattern of prices, there is surely something rotten in the state of Denmark.
Så har vi en selvstændig betænkning vedrørende ud viklingsfondene, en betænkning vedrørende instituttet i Berlin og frem for alt en betænkning vedrørende fødevarehjælp, hvor der fremdrages mange problemer, og jeg håber kun at vi kan nå frem til en bedre form.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think it is a very revealing fact that the red French millionaire said in a recent inter view, in reply to the question how he had managed to become so rich in such a short time, that he put it all down to the stupidity of his trading partners.
Jeg mener dog, at dette spørgsmål ikke er nær så vigtigt som spørgsmålet om, hvorledes denne situation overhovedet opstod.
The fact is, though, that the Community is this man's trading partner.
Hr. formand, vort udvalg har påtaget sig en stor opgave og ordførerne har lagt et meget stort arbejde i deres betænkninger.
Mr Tugendhat, I shall not pull any punches — you may rest assured of that — you have shown by the speech you made that there is nothing more important than an element of Parliamentary control over the Commission.
Jeg vil også sige, at selv om det somme tider er gået hårdt til, har vi haft en god diskussion med Kommissionens repræsentanter og dens embedsmænd. Hr. Davignon, jeg vil gerne takke Dem hjerteligt for, at De for eksempel straks reagerede så positivt på vore forslag vedrørende Ispra.
It is quite wrong to say that the Commission's political control over the management of this sector functions effectively.
Vi kunne føre en udmærket dialog med Dem vedrørende datacentret?
We are talking about a very difficult subject.
At læse hr. Dankerts udredning er som at læse en rimeligt spændende gyserroman.
Not everyone can fathom out the market organizations just like that.
Han beskriver, hvor ledes man gav ganske betydelige forskud i juli for at afsætte mælkeprodukter, og hvorledes det blev stadig mere indlysende, at der ikke ville være midler til rådighed til at dække dem.
All the submissions made to the Commission come from the Directorate-General for Agriculture and although the Commission is a collegiate body, it does not have the necessary specialist knowledge to direct and exercise political control over its own administrators.
Han beskriver derefter, hvorledes der opstod panik i oktober, da det viste sig, at Kommissionen ville komme til at mangle ca. 412 mio. ERE. Man stolede på, at der ville komme et tillægsbudget, som imidlertid kom for sent til at redde situationen.
It is a pity that the President of the Commission is not here, but I shall none the less make the point personally that, in my opinion, the Commission is bound to take whatever steps are necessary vis-à-vis its own staff to regain political control over the Direc torate-General for Agriculture.
Jeg vil fremsætte to grundlæggende punkter.
(Applause from various quarters)
Lad mig slutte med den konstatering som formanden for Kommissionen, Gaston Thorn, også nåede frem til i går: Parlamentet og Kommissionen har brug for hinanden, hvis vi vil føre den europæiske integrationspolitik videre og nå til et vellykket resultat.
Not only the Committee on Budgetary Control, but also 'the Committee on Agriculture and individual Members of this House have questioned the Commission again and again as to the extent of agricultural exports to the Statetrading countries, and the Commission's reply has always been that such transactions did' not exceed the average of the last three years.
Kontrol, mod til konfrontation, mod til samarbejde og til løsning af problemerne er nødvendige i dette øjemed.
Now, though, we have the final figures: in 1978, we supplied 20 876 tonnes of butter to the Statetrading countries, compared with 134 649 tonnes in 1979.
I denne ånd vil jeg gerne takke alle, som har bidraget til udarbejdelsen af denne betænkning.
In other words, our exports have gone up from 20 000 tonnes to 134 000 tonnes.
Patterson. — (EN) Jeg fristes, hr. formand, til at benytte de par minutter, som er til min rådighed, til at tale om osteomeletter.
Ladies and-gentlemen, I should like briefly t'o touch on a few more points.
Hvorfor nu osteomeletter, kan De gerne spørge?
In our report on the Court of Auditors' annual report, we cannot go into every aspect of control in great detail and subject everything to genuine and full-scale Parliamentary control.
Fordi det faktum, at der ydes støtte fra Fællesskabet, for at man kan serveres osteomeletter i skolekantiner, er en af de fascinerende oplysninger, som fremgår af det dokument, der ligger til grund for denne debat, og dokumentet er, som kommissær Tugendhat mindede os om, Revisionsrettens beretning for 1979.
We are therefore working on a number of special reports, including a report on office accommodation policy — a question which is of particular interest to this House in view of our three places of work; a report on the functioning of the ECSC in 1978/79 — a very important matter which concerns the question of overt and covert national subsidies; a report on the European Foundation in Dublin, as well as two opinions on budgetary reform.
For det første sættes der ganske klart spørgsmålstegn ved den måde, Kommissionen rent faktisk arbejder på som en større forretningsdrivende på verdensmarkedet.
I would go along with you, Mr Tugendhat, in the fact that the criticism of the Commission voiced by the Court of Auditors applies likewise to the European Parliament and the other institutions on a number of points.
Revisionsretten erklærer, at Kommissionens manglende effektivitet direkte førte til, at budgettet blev administreret under unormale betingelser i de sidste måneder af 1979, og Retten kalder Kommissionens undskyldninger svage.
Mrs Veil has asked my committee to set up a working party so that we can bring more clarity into the question of Parliament's expenditure, and so that sufficient attention is paid to the question of economy to meet any criticism, which may in certain cases be justified.
Dette kan være rigtigt eller forkert, og jeg lyttede meget omhyggeligt til det, kommissær Tugendhat sagde til forsvar. Hr. Dankert citerer dog en bemærkning fremsat fra en af Fælles skabets embedsmænd, at Kommissionen hverken er en kommerciel eller en industriel virksomhed.
I realize that spending policy is a great problem to any administration, especially in view of the difficult decisionmaking structure and the difficult competence disputes within this House.
Hvor er det sandt, hr. formand.
Who, after all, is responsible for Parliament's spending?
Vi må finde frem til muligheder for at udøve så effektiv kontrol som muligt.
Is it the Bureau, or the Quaestors, or is it the Committee on Budgets?
I hr. Irmers betænk ning skitseres nogle af disse i punkterne 31-43.
You are aware of the conflicts we have had over the last few months, which Mr Lange will be able
Og det forpligter os til at udvise yderste opmærksomhed over for de spørgsmål, som Revisionsretten påpeger.
The worst abuses we came upon in the committee had already been given a full airing in the press.
