Afskaffelse af fællesskabsforsendelsen ville uden tvivl skabe og fremme udviklingsskævheder, der er værre og vanskeligere at komme til livs end de problemer, vi her står overfor.
The disappearance of the Community transit regime would, beyond all doubt, encourage and create developmental asymmetries which would be far more pernicious and intractable than the problems now under discussion.
Efter vores mening er det store problem ved fællesskabsforsendelsen i øjeblikket, at der mangler politisk vilje til at ændre den nuværende situation, eller at der er politisk vilje til at opretholde status quo.
We consider that the problems currently facing the Community transit regime are largely the result of a lack of political will (unwillingness to change the present situation) or of a political desire to maintain the status quo.
Denne manglende vilje eller vilje til at beholde status quo hos Fællesskabet og medlemsstaterne viser sig først og fremmest på følgende områder:
This error of omission or commission by the Community and the Member States is reflected in the following areas:
Som følge af gennemførelsen af det indre marked og de omfattende ændringer i toldvæsenets traditionelle arbejdsområde, står toldvæsenet stadig meget usikker over for, hvad der dets opgave.
Thanks to the completion of the internal market and the major changes which have occurred in their traditional sphere of action, the customs services are still extremely unsure what their exact powers are.
Da dette synes at være den nye fremherskende holdning, har toldvæsenet nu næsten helt opgivet sine væsentlige, vigtige og måske eksklusive kontrol- og informationsfunktioner for at tage sig af samarbejdsopgaver med de erhvervsdrivende.
With this appearing to be the new dominant attitude, they have all but universally downgraded their basic, if not exclusive 'priority' functions of control and information in favour of cooperation actions with economic operators.
Toldvæsenets adskillelse fra de øvrige organer eller institutioner er åbenlys, hvilket medfører en utilstrækkelig udnyttelse af dets know how og ekspertise.
The lack of articulation of the customs services with other bodies and institutions is more than visible; as a result, their expertise and technical capacities are not being used to the full.
I denne forbindelse og navnlig med hensyn til særlige foranstaltninger som f.eks. de "administrative procedurer", der er anført under punkt IV.A i rapporten, er det berettiget at henlede opmærksomheden på de løsninger, som Câmara dos Despachantes Oficiais foreslog i sin undersøgelse (som allerede er blevet fordelt til visse af Fællesskabets og de nationale instanser), og på det hensigtsmæssige i at lade private forbedre ordningen.
In this area, especially with respect to possible specific actions, in connection, for instance, with the 'administrative procedures' discussed in section IV.A of the report, attention should be drawn to the proposals made by our organization in its study (already distributed to various Community and national authorities) and to the key role which private operators should play in checks under the regime.
Da der således ikke findes kontrol eller forebyggende foranstaltninger på dette område, bliver
In the wake of reorganization, some Member States do not at this moment have a fiscal police division to deal with crime in this sector.
de få tilfælde, der opdages, forelagt de normale juridiske organer, der i sagens natur ikke er særligt uddannede til at udføre en type analyse og behandling, som kræver en omfattende specialviden.
In the absence of monitoring, checking or preventive measures, the few cases detected are passed to the usual legal bodies, which are themselves, obviously, not properly qualified to carry out types of analysis and action which require substantial specialized knowledge.
MANGLEN PÅ ENSARTEDE PROCEDURER
THE NEED FOR STANDARD PROCEDURES
Nogle medlemsstater har for at tilskynde de erhvervsdrivende til i højere grad at udnytte de servicemuligheder, der findes, tilladt en fortolkning af forsendelsesprocedurerne, som er klart i strid med de forordninger, der gælder herom, og fører til overtrædelse af disse.
With the aim of encouraging use of the services of economic operators in their territory, some Member States have permitted an interpretation of the procedures to be used for transit operations which manifestly contradicts the regulations for the sector and constitutes an incentive to their infringement.
Hvis man havde haft ensartede procedurer og havde ført kontrol med, at de blev overholdt, ville man uden tvivl have kunnet undgå en stor del af de problemer, der nu opstår.
The introduction of standard procedures, along with monitoring, would obviously have prevented many of the problems now arising.
C. UDVIDELSE AF ORDNINGEN
C. EXTENSION OF THE REGIME
På baggrund af overstående og i overensstemmelse med, hvad der fremgår herom i rapporten, mener vi, at det er helt uberettiget at udvide ordningen for fællesskabsforsendelse til Visegradlandene, så længe de nødvendige reformer ikke er gennemført.
In view of the above, and in line with the position expressed in the report, we consider that there is no case for extending the Community transit regime to the Visegrad countries until the necessary reforms have been made.
UNDERSØGELSESUDVALGET OM ORDNINGEN FOR DEN FÆLLES FORSENDELSESPROCEDURE
COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY INTO THE COMMUNITY TRANSIT SYSTEM
Vedlagt fremsendes et bidrag fra Sammenslutningen af Græske Toldklarerere i Thessaloniki til Europa-Parlamentets Midlertidige Undersøgelsesudvalg om Ordningen for Fællesskabsforsendelse.
Members will find enclosed a contribution to the European Parliament Committee of Inquiry into the Community Transit System submitted by the Greek Freight Forwarders' Association, Thessaloniki.
SPØRGSMÅL OM ORDNINGEN FOR DEN FÆLLES FORSENDELSESPROCEDURE
QUESTIONNAIRE CONCERNING THE COMMUNITY TRANSIT SYSTEM
Hvad er årsagerne transitproceduren?
QUESTION: What circumstances are responsible for the increase in the incidence of fraud involving the transit system?
- Ophobningen af ikke-færdigbehandlede forsendelsesdokumenter på grund af systemets ufuldkommenhed, f.eks. forsinkelser i færdigbehandlingen af de pågældende dokumenter og de ansvarlige toldmyndigheders forhalede gennemførelse af undersøgelser af svig eller uregelmæssigheder.
- The absence of an electronic network for the automatic exchange of data between the customs posts of origin and destination. - The opening-up of the borders of Eastern Europe where organized criminal networks exploit flaws in the transit system in pursuit of easy and illicit gains. - The absence of the systematic gathering of information concerning transit covering all the economic factors concerned. - The accumulation of unprocessed transit documents owing to built-in failures of the system, such as delays m the processing of such forms and delays in investigations by the relevant customs authorities to ascertain fraud or irregularities. - The measures taken to identify merchandise are inadequate: merchandise is added, removed and substituted during, or on the occasion of, transit in particular.
- Ineffektive sanktioner mod de hovedforpligtede eller carnet-ihændehaverne.
Substitutions or removals of merchandise during transit under the cover of the open TIR (open) carnets. - The imposition of ineffective sanctions against parties with principal liability or carnet holders.
Forskelle i pengebøderne fra medlemsstat til medlemsstat alt efter deres nationale lovgivning.
The fines imposed vary from Member State to Member State, according to their national legislation. - Lorry drivers are inadequately informed of their obligations by the international transport companies, such as the obligation to produce the goods at the customs posts responsible for transit, the obligation to present the transit carnet for Community transit to the relevant transit customs post, etc.
Hvilke svindel grupper ?
QUESTION: What type of person is, generally speaking, involved in fraud?
Hovedparten af svindel kan tilskrives chauffører og toldtjenestemænd, enten som ophavsmænd eller medskyldige, transportvirksomheder, eksportvirksomheder og organiseret kriminalitet.
ANSWER: The most frequent immediate perpetrators of fraud are the drivers of vehicles and corrupt customs officials, while the moral perpetrators or accomplices are usually transport companies, export undertakings and organized criminals.
Hvor store er EU's tab af told og andre afgifter på grund af transi t svindel?
QUESTION : What losses in terms of duties and other taxes does the EU suffer owing to fraud during transit?
For perioden 1993-1995 menes tabet at andrage mindst 750 mio ecu.
ANSWER: Losses have been estimated at at least ECU 750m for the 1993-1995 period.
Økonomiske tab som følge af konkurrenceforvridning er ikke medregnet i dette beløb.
This does not include economic damage caused by unfair competition.
De tilfælde, transportvirksomhederne har været indblandet i i løbet af de seneste år, overstiger 4 mia ecu.
The cases involving transit companies over the last few years involve more than ECU 4 billion.
Hvor ofte er svindel landbrugspolitikken ?
QUESTION : How often is fraud linked to EU policies, such as the agricultural policy?
Ovennævnte tekniske eller retlige forfalskning af transitdokumenter for landbrugsprodukter, der er underlagt landbrugspolitikken, fører til øget tab af EU's egne midler, og ofte forekommer der svindel i forbindelse med Fællesskabets landbrugsstøttepolitik og med produkter, som er underlagt særlige forbrugsafgifter.
ANSWER: As has been stated above, technical or legal fraud involving agricultural produce in transit covered by the agricultural policy leads to an increase in the losses of EU own resources and, very frequently, fraud is linked to Community policies relating to agricultural subsidies and products which are subject to special consumption taxes.
Hvilke varer er oftest involverede i transitsvindel?
QUESTION: Which products are most affected by fraud during transit?
Højtbeskattede varer, såsom alkohol og cigaretter, råolieprodukter, guld, motorkøretøjer osv.
ANSWER: Heavily taxed goods, such as alcoholic beverages and cigarettes, those which are covered by the agricultural policy and attract financial aid when exported, petroleum products, gold, motor vehicles, etc.
Hvilket system (EF-, nationalt, internationalt) er mest udsat for svindel?
(Community, national, international)?
Bortset fra de nationale forsendelser i medlemsstaterne, dvs. transport af varer mellem to punkter inden for en medlemsstats territorium, er de fleste systemer udsat for svindel på grund af de ovennævnte organisatoriske mangler og især TIR-systemet .
ANSWER: Apart from the national transit within Member States, i.e. the movement of merchandise between two (2) points which are on the territory of a Member State, most systems are vulnerable to fraud, owing to the built-in weaknesses referred to above, and in particular the TIR system. 8.
Anser De dokumentationssystemet for administrationen af transitsystemet passende/tilstrækkeligt ?
QUESTION: Do you consider the documentation system used for the administration of the transit system to be suitable/adequate?
Efter vor opfattelse vil det være tilstrækkeligt, når det skriftlige system bliver forbundet med det elektroniske, og når der findes elektronisk forbindelse mellem toldstederne ved Fællesskabets ydre grænser og de interne toldsteder.
ANSWER: In our view it will be adequate when the written system is linked to the electronic one so that electronic connections are established between customs posts on the borders of, and inside, the Community.
til bestemmelsestoldstederne for aflevering af varer passende?
QUESTION : Are the time-limits for handing over merchandise to the customs officer of destination too long, too short or the right length?
De frister der fastlægges af afgangs­ og bestemmelsestoldstederne er for lange, og de faste frister for harmoniseret håndhævelse håndhæves ikke.
ANSWER: The time-limits set by the customs posts of departure or origin are too long and the fixed deadlines for uniform implementation are not respected.
Hvor ofte foretager toldmyndighederne fysisk kontrol af varer i transit?
QUESTION: How often do customs authorities physically control merchandise in transit?
Der er konstateret forskel i hyppigheden af de forskellige toldmyndigheders kontrolundersøgelser af varer. Fællesskabslovgivningen forudser et ensartet antal kontrolundersøgelser, jf. de grundlæggende bestemmelser i EF­toldkodeksen (forordning (EØF) nr. 2913/92), hvori det hedder, at TIR­carnets, T2 eller Ti eller ΑΤΑ­carnets er forsendelsesdokumenter.
ANSWER: A difference has been ascertained in the percentage rate of physical checks on merchandise by the different customs authorities.
Toldmyndighederne fastlægger en obligatorisk procentdel, f.eks. i Grækenland, hvor 10% af de frembudte varer kontrolleres.
The customs authorities lay down a compulsory percentage, for example, in Greece 10% of the merchandise presented.
Hvor ofte bliver det pålagt køretøjer at følge fastlagte ruter?
QUESTION: How often are vehicles ordered to follow predetermined routes?
Sædvanligvis fastlægges der på forhånd en transitrute samt bestemmelses­ og transittoldsteder, hvis navne er anført på forsendelsesdokumenterne.
However, normally the route is fixed in advance and the customs posts of destination are specified and their names mentioned in the transit documents.
Hvor ofte insisterer eller fastprisgarantier brugt fortoldede individuelle varer?
QUESTION: How often do customs authorities insist that individual or flatrate guarantees be used in transit operations with heavily-taxed goods?
Arten af garantier for de enkelte produkter fastlægges i overensstemmelse med stigningen eller faldet i antallet af bedragerier. I mange lande er det nu forbudt at anvende fast kaution eller samlet kaution, og der henstilles til individuel eller fastprisgaranti.
ANSWER : The type of guarantee is determined by whether the incidence of fraud is increasing or not in respect of the product in question.
Viser forsikringsselskaberne transportørers garantiforpligtelser modvillighed over for under transitproceduren?
QUESTION: Do insurance companies refuse to insure the guarantee obligations of carriers under the transit procedure?
Ifølge de oplysninger vi har fra Sammenslutningen af Græske Toldklarerere inden for rammerne af vores deltagelse i Den Internationale Sammenslutning af Toldklarerere, CONFIAD, og Det Europæiske Forbindelsesudvalg for EF­speditionsvirksomheder, CLECAT, nægter mange forsikringsselskaber i en lang række europæiske lande at forsikre transportørers garantiforpligtelser under forsendelsesordningen, eller også kræver de enorme forsikringspræmier på grund af de mange kautioner, der skal udbetales i medlemsstaterne på grund af manglende tilbagelevering af attesterede T­dokumenter.
ANSWER: The information we have at our disposal at the Greek Freight Forwarders Association, within the framework of our participation in the European Freight Forwarders' Federation, CONFIAND, and the European Federation of Forwarders and Transit Carriers, CLECAT, indicates that many insurance companies in many European countries refuse to insure the guarantee obligations of carriers as part of the transit arrangements or demand excessive insurance premiums because of the many guarantees which they are required to pay in the Member States, owing to a failure to return the Document 'T', duly certified.
Har nogle transportfirmaer været nødt betale deres garantiforpligtelser?
QUESTION: Have any transport companies been forced to close down because they were obliged to pay the guarantee obligations themselves?
Det er højst sandsynligt, at der findes tilfælde af denne art.
ANSWER: It is very likely that some such cases have occurred.
garantien told- og forbrugsafgifter for en given dækker fuldt
QUESTION: Hov; often does the guarantee fully cover the customs and excise duties for a given shipment?
Jf. artikel 361 i forordning (EØF) nr. 2454/93 skal varer, der er indført i Fællesskabets toldområde, som er omfattet af listen i bilag 53, og om hvilke der er givet specifikke oplysninger i henhold til Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 1468/81, dækkes af en kaution til mindst 30% af importafgiften og andre afgifter, der er forfaldet til betaling.
ANSWER : Under Article 361 of Regulation (EEC) 2454/93, imports to the customs territory of the European Union which are listed in Annex 53 of this regulation and merchandise which has been the subject of special notification. In accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation 1468/8, must be accompanied by guarantees which cover at least 30% of the required duties.
I artikel 362 hedder det, at den samlede kaution ikke må anvendes til transport af varer, i forbindelse med hvilke der er særlig risiko for tolduregelmæssigheder.
Article 362 provides that a comprehensive guarantee may not be used for the transport of goods which present increased risks of fraud.
Det drejer sig om individuelle eller fastprisgarantier, som f.eks. pålægges cigaretter, og som inden længe skal udvides til at omfatte alkoholholdige drikkevarer, kød osv.
What is involved here is the individual or flatrate guarantee which is required for cigarettes, for instance, which will soon be extended to alcoholic beverages, meet, etc.
Er toldmyndighederne tilstrækkeligt sager forbundet med uregelmæssigheder garantien betalt af virksomheden for omhyggelige i deres efterforskning under transitproceduren?
QUESTION: Are the customs authorities sufficiently careful in their examination of cases related to irregularities under the transition procedure?
Kræver tidligt?
Do they claim payment of the guarantee too early?
Hvad angår garantier er de hovedforpligtede og sikkerhedsstillerne gensid.gt ansvarlige.
ANSWER : As regards the guarantees, there is a reciprocal responsibility of the persons with principal liability and the guarantors.
Kravet rejses sædvanligvis mod de hovedforpligtede, som inddrages i bedragerisager.
Claims are usually addressed to the parties with principal liability which are involved in fraud.
Disse anmoder derfor sikkerhedsstillerne (forsiknngsselsnaDer; om at betale.
These then call on the guarantors (insurance companies) to pay.
De bureaukratiske procedurer og den i tidligere tilfælde retslige indgriben forsinker i høj grad udbetalingen af de udestående beløb (told og andrt afgifter) .
Bureaucratic procedures (and, in the past, judicial obstructions) have caused considerable delays in the payment of the sums due (customs duties and other taxes).
Har De nogle forslag til forbedring af transitproceduren?
QUESTION: Do you have any proposals to make to improve the transition system?
CLECAT har udarbejdet forslag, der tager sigte pá sável en forbedring af transitproceduren som beskyttelse af speditions'-irKsonnederne.
ANSWER: The European Federation of Freight Forwarders and Transit Carriers, CLECAT, has drawn up proposals aimed both at improving the system of transit and protecting transit companies. (a) Exporters should be required to provide separate guarantees for every highrisk cargo.
Eksportøren bør afkræves enkeltkaution for iver transport, der er forbundet med risiko. Konkurserne blandt speditionsvir KS-r.r.eaer SKylaes. at disse nar måttet stille enkeltkautioner af et omfang, ae iK.ce Kunne betale.
Bankruptcies among transit companies are due to the fact that they provided their own guarantees but were unable to foot the bill. (b) In the event of transit through highrisk countries or if such countries are the final destination, exporters shall be required to furnish collateral securities.
De skal kontrollere rigtigheden af transportdokumenterne (regninger, fragtbreve, TIR, TI, T2, T5) og sikre, at alle oplysningerne om risiko og ansvar er blevet bekendtgjort både transportvirksomheden og chaufførerne, som har pligt til at overholde bestemmelser og retningslinjer.
(c) Exporters, forwarding agents and customs clearers should work only with bona fide transit companies, should check the transport papers (invoices, bills of lading TIR, TI, T2, T5) and verify that all the information concerning risks and
Der bør indføres en slags "transportkontrakt" i alle Den Europæiske Unions medlemsstater, hvori man klart anfører de gældende transportbetingelser, transportvirksomhedens og chaufførens forpligtelser og vilkår, og hvori konsekvenserne af en manglende overholdelse af aftalerne tillige er anført.
liabilities is known, both to the transit company and to the drivers who must make an undertaking to observe the formalities and guidelines. (d) A 'statement of undertaking' must be established, clearly describing the conditions of transport, the formalities which must be observed, especially at the external borders of the European Union and including a binding statement by the driver that he will counter-sign and confirm document (T) which he shall be obliged to return to the customs post of departure (the CLECAT already distributes such forms to those concerned printed in many languages).
Fortoldningerne skal systematisk finde sted ved Den Europæiske Unions nærmestliggende eksterne toldsteder og grænser, således at faren for eventuel segl- og dokumentsvindel under transporten på Fællesskabets territorium begrænses til det mindst mulige.
(e) A uniform type of 'transport contract' must be established for all countries of the European Union, clearly setting out the conditions of transport, the liabilities and obligations of the transit company and the driver and setting out the consequences of failure to honour the agreed conditions. (f) Customs clearance procedures shall take place systematically at the place nearest external customs posts and borders of the European Union so as to minimize the risk of stamp and document forgery during the transit in Community territory.
Den foreskrevne transitrute skal udvides til også at gælde for andre varegrupper, i forbindelse med hvilke der består øget fare for tolduregelmæssigheder.
(g) Other categories of merchandise which present an increased risk of fraud should also be required to follow a pre-arranged route. (h) Articles 360.
Artikel 360, 361 og 362 i EF-toldkodeksen bør suppleres således, at den hovedforpligtedes, transportørens og varemodtagerens ansvar klart defineres.
361 and 362 of the Community Customs Code must be completed and i.n particular, the conditions of responsibility of the party with principal liability, the transporter and the receiver of the goods must be clearly described.
Har De bidt mærke i andre relevante områder fortoldningsniveau, eksportrefunderingssystemet i denne osv.?
ANSWER : Other related areas which are vulnerable are: merchandise which must be accompanied by various types of documentation (veterinary certificates, plant health certificates, certificates for hazardous chemical substances, explosives, radioactivity, etc.)
Det er klart, at fællesskabsforsendelsesordningen indebærer mange fordele og lettelser, navnlig for Fællesskabets eksportører.
ANSWER: The customs transit system has conferred many advantages and opportunities, especially on Community exporters.
Det er endvidere sikkert, at det har skabt mange og store problemer for transportørerne, konsignatarerne, toldklarererne og speditørerne på grund af uklarhederne i EF-toldkodeksen og den forvirring, der eksisterer omkring den hovedforpligtedes, transportørens, eksporterens og varemodtagerens sikkerhedsstillelse.
However, it is also certain that it has created many difficult problems for carriers, commission agents and customs and clearance agents, owing to the vagueness of the Community's Customs Code and the confusion that exists as regards the responsibility of the party with principal liability, the carrier, the exporter and the consignee of the merchandise.
