For korthedens skyld vil jeg udtale mig om de forslag, som Kommissionen ikke har kunnet gå ind for, idet hr. Ferri jo for øvrigt allerede har nævnt de punkter, hvor vi er kommet til en forståelse.
As regards granting the right to take legal action to groups and associations which have as their object the protection of nature and the environment, numerous proposals aimed at strengthening their position have already been tabled.
For at kunne bedømme de talrige ændringsforslag, der er blevet stillet, er det nødvendigt at se nærmere på den almene tankegang, der ligger til grund for forslaget.
HOON (S), rapporteur. — Mr President, the European drugs industry is worth at least S16 billion a year.
Jeg tænker her navnlig på princip perne om forebyggende indgreb og om, at forureneren skal betale.
Of this it has been estimated that between fifty and seventy per cent is pure profit.
Det er de to principper, der kan ligge til grund for en moderne miljøbeskyttelse.
Something like S10 billion is therefore available for laundering into apparently lawful operations.
På dette stadium er det derfor uomgængeligt at fastsætte klare og let gennemførlige bestemmelser, der fastlægger ansvarssubjekterne på en sådan måde, at der i praksis fås en bedre miljøbeskyttelse.
Money launderers make huge amounts of money out of their activities, charging a fee of between six and eight per cent for their services.
Lad os begynde med de forslag, der vedrører enkelte artikler.
Those services encourage crime by allowing criminals the opportunity to profit from their unlawful activities.
De begrundelser, jeg vil give, vil også gælde for de betragtninger, der genspejler det, der er indeholdt i direktivets dispositive del.
This is the first and perhaps fundamental justification for legislation against money laundering.
Det er derfor af største betydning klart at fastlægge stillingen for den, der bliver erstatningsansvarlig, på grundlag af princippet om, at forureneren betaler, og om fore byggende indgreb.
Moreover, given the disparities in Member States' legislations there is a need to create a stable connection between the right to take disciplinary legal action at the Community level and the admittance procedures of Member States.
Det er derfor logisk, at direktiv forslaget koncentrerer sig om affaldsproducenternes
The second paragraph of the amend ment must therefore be replaced by the following sentence: 'The conditions in such groups or associ
Dette forslag fra Retsudvalget går ud på at udvide direktivets anvendelsesområde til miljøskader forårsaget af radioaktivt affald.
There is however a second one: money that is laundered, by definition, returns back into the financial system.
Dette forslag kan vi ikke gå ind for.
It is used in a way that is generally indis-
Ripa di Meana oprettes, forekommer ændringsforslag nr. 16 os der for at være en blankocheck på staten.
HOON system of electronic record-keeping for international transfers.
Ændringsforslag nr. 18 (artikel 11, stk. 2, 3 og 4)
We hope that such a system will be of considerable benefit in detecting the trail of money launderers.
Fællesskabet vil ikke gavne de igangværende, van skelige internationale forhandlinger.
tinguishable from money earned in entirely legitimate enterprises.
I øvrigt giver artikel 100 A i Traktaten om Oprettelse af Det Europæiske Økonomiske Fællesskab, som er grund lag for forslaget, ikke en tilstrækkelig hjemmel.
As a result it distorts the operation of the market, for example by propping up businesses that would otherwise fail, by allowing over-priced bids for property or under-priced tenders for contracts.
Dette gælder også for ændringsforslag nr. 5 og 8, for så vidt disse også går ud på samme udvidelse.
Wholly legitimate businesses may therefore be driven into bankruptcy by unfair competition from businesses based on laundered funds.
Det ville ganske vist være hensigtsmæssigt at fastsætte en ansvarsbegrænsning, hvis der allerede var et stabilt marked på dette område.
If the laundered funds are then subsequently transferred back into one of the Member States in an otherwise apparently lawful operation it will be difficult to avoid the second problem that I set out earlier.
Kun i dette tilfælde ville der kunne fastsættes maksimumsbeløb, der var gennemførlige i praksis.
That is why we would like the European Commission to encourage third countries to establish similar standards.
Desuden har erfaringen vist, at en ansvarsbegrænsning har direkte indflydelse på forsikringssummen og dermed på præmien. Heraf følger, at i betragtning af de endnu usikre forhold på markedet ville præmierne blive overordentlig høje med deraf følgende store fordele for de store virksomheder.
They can do that, we suggest, by monitoring the legislation and practice in third countries and bringing appropriate pressure to bear where the Commission believes that an insufficient level of protection is being observed.
Dette kan vi ikke gå ind for. Det samme gælder for ændringsforslagets indhold angående artikel 11, stk. 5, første og anden tankestreg.
I hope therefore, Mr President, the Commission will be able to adopt the sensible amendments put forward by the Legal Affairs Committee in its negotiations with the Council.
Efter min mening må man snarere frygte, at man med denne definition uden noget virkeligt behov afgrænser et felt, såsom miljøet, der tværtimod er i stadig udvikling.
Some have suggested, therefore, that it would be sufficient for all European Community Member States to sign the Council of Europe convention.
Heller ikke EØF-Traktaten udtaler sig herom og efter min mening med rette. Dette direktivforslag er endnu mindre velegnet til at fast lægge sådanne grænser, og følgerne heraf kunne være uforudseelige for hele den fremtidige miljøbeskyttelse. skyttelse.
The Legal Affairs Committee did not accept that view, arguing instead that as the Community moves towards the creation of a single financial market this inevitably involves a Community-wide response based on legislation drafted by the Community's own institutions.
Ændringsforslag nr. 11 (artikel 4, stk. 4)
Other wise, differing national standards could distort competition.
Der er allerede stillet talrige forslag om ret til at anlægge retssag for foreninger, der som formål har at beskytte naturen eller miljøet, og deres mål har været at styrke disse foreningers stilling. I princippet ser Kommissionen positivt på dette mål.
For example the cost of supervising and detecting money laundering would bear unfairly on those countries with strong standards, whilst encouraging the money launderers to operate in those countries with weak legislation.
Kommis sionen foreslår dog at tilføje et stykke med følgende ordlyd: »Når konventionen af 10. oktober 1989 om det privatretlige ansvar for skader ved transport af farlige produkter ad landevej, jernbane eller indre vandveje finder anvendelse, er fragtføreren også erstatningsansvarlig inden for de af denne konvention fastsatte grænser«.
It is also important for the twelve Member States to apply uniform rules in the fight against the laundering of illegal capital, in order to avoid distortions of competition and ensure that States do not adopt measures incompatible with the achievement of the single market.
Med forslaget til definitionen af »force majeure« vil Parlamentet erstatte Domstolens definition i sag nr. 145/85 (Denkavit) med en ny definition.
There has been considerable constitutional controversy, not least in the Legal Affairs Committee, as to the extent to which the Community is competent to legislate to create criminal offences.
Af hensyn til fællesskabsrettens klarhed er det hensigtsmæssigt ikke at ændre de allerede forhåndenværende definitioner, og derfor kan ej heller dette forslag antages.
The Legal Affairs Committee accepted the formulation set out by the European Commission in Article 2 and, whatever the constitutional niceties of the argument, it is obviously essential that, by whatever mechanism, criminal sanctions are adopted in each Member State.
Når man imidlertid ser på forskellene mellem med lemsstaternes lovgivning, er det nødvendigt at skabe en stabil forbindelse mellem den i fællesskabsretten nedlagte ret til at anlægge en retssag og fremgangsmåden ved anerkendelse, der henhører under med lemsstaterne.
It seems unlikely that those engaged in the laundering of money from criminal activities will be deterred by any other sanction than the criminal one.
Det ved ændringsforslaget indførte andet punktum i stk. 4 bør derfor erstattes af følgende: »De betingelser, der skal opfyldes af sådanne sammenslutninger eller foreninger, der er nævnt, i stk. 1, for at de kan anlægge retssager ved de kompetente instanser, fastsættes i den nationale lovgivning.«
There is, in addition, for those who may still be doubtful on this question a practical justification for the criminal sanction; in a number of Member States it is necessary to allege a breach of the criminal law before banking secrecy legislation can be lifted.
Med dette ændringsforslag pålægges der indtil indførelsen af en fond staten forpligtelse til afhjælpe skaden, når skadevolderen ikke kan identificeres.
Noone involved in this subject is under any illusions about the difficulties involved in ending the laundering of criminal funds.
Opfyldelsen af denne yderst omfattende forpligtelse forekommer os overordentlig vanskelig.
The best that can be achieved is that within the European Community we enact legislation that makes the exercise more difficult than it has been in the past, and extends the legislation to each and every Member State.
Den står også i modstrid med ændringsforslag nr. 18 (artikel 11, stk. 5, 2. tankestreg, iii), hvorefter Kommis sionen skal foretage en undersøgelse af mulighederne for oprettelse af en erstatningsfond.
That is why we in the Legal Affairs Committee have suggested extending the scope of an excellent proposal from the Commission to all activities that might involve the laundering of money.
Indtil det bliver muligt at sige med sikkerhed, om en sådan fond kan
That is why we have extended the range of crimes covered, and why in particular we have sought to create a comprehensive
Sagen kan synes ligetil, men forslaget er uantageligt, idet bestemmelser af denne art ville pålægge forsikringsselskabet at dække større risici, end der er aftalt i forsikringsaftalen.
The first relates to article 3 which provides that the banking and finance institutions are required to establish the real identity of persons for whom a transaction is effected or an account is opened.
Det ville være i modstrid med hele forsikringsrettens system.
As drafted by the Commission, article 3 risks posing insoluble problems for the clearing system.
Virkelig lovlydige forret ningsvirksomheder kan derfor blive drevet til konkurs ved illoyal konkurrence fra virksomheder, der arbejder med renvaskede penge.
We think it is essential to attack money laundering and make it a serious offence when the money is generated by serious crimes.
Til slut vil jeg gerne bemærke, at det på mange punkter har været muligt at komme til et kompromis eller i det mindste til delvis enighed.
But we in the Socialist Group believe it is vital to have Community legislation. We are a Community which has decreed the free movement of capital.
Det er klart, at der er nogle punkter, hvor vi indtager forskellige holdninger, men den udvikling, der er konstateret, får mig til at håbe, at Kommissionens forslag, et afgørende skridt mod beskyttelse af Fællesskabets miljø, snart kan træde i kraft og så vise sin effektivitet.
So it is necessary that, beyond voluntary adherence to an international convention by individual countries, the resources of Community law should be used to make the methods used in the fight equal in all countries as a whole.
Jeg vil her tilslutte mig det af hr. Ferri udtrykte håb om, at der vil finde en hurtig behandling sted i Rådet.
To be effective, our twelve countries must coordinate their action and take collective decisions to have discussions with a number of third countries on this matter.
Jeg vil endnu en gang tillade mig at takke hr. Ferri for den store indsats, han har gjort ved behandlingen af vort forslag.
impossible for the manager of a clearing system to identify the people for whom transactions are effected, in view of the extraordinarily high volume of these operations.
Der er blevet fremsat indvendinger mod, at Det Europæiske Fællesskab vedtager egne retsregler om dette emne, herunder ikke mindst at der allerede findes en Europaråds-konvention, der har et tilsvarende formål. Der er derfor nogle, der har foreslået, at det ville være nok, hvis alle Det Europæiske Fællesskabs medlemsstater underskrev Europarådskonventionen.
The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy considers that the disclosure in good faith to the authorities competent in criminal mattes of a suspicion of laundering cannot involve any civii or penal responsibility, not only, as article 5 already provided for in paragraph 2, for the employees or directors making such disclosures, but also for the institutions concerned.
Retsudvalget kunne ikke godkende dette synspunkt, det fremførte i stedet, at i forbin delse med Fællesskabets fremskridt mod et enkelt finansielt marked var det uundgåeligt, at dette problem blev mødt på fællesskabsomfattende grundlag ved en lovgivning, der var udformet af Fællesskabets egne institutioner.
The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy proposes moreover that in case of injury resulting directly from an innacurate statement made in good faith, the State shall make good any damage suffered. This is the purpose of our proposed new paragraph 3 of article 5.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (dok. A3-273/90) af Hoon for Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Borgernes Rettigheder om forslag fra Kommissionen til Rådet (KOM(90) 106 endel. — dok.
Finally, we propose a new paragraph 4 to article 5 which provides that the information communicated to the authorities by virtue of this directive may be used only in connection with preliminary judicial inquiries into serious crimes within the meaning of this directive.
C3-111/90 — SYN 254) til direktiv om forebyggende foranstaltninger mod anvendelse af det finansielle system til renvaskning af penge.
I draw your attention to the fact that these four amendments have been adopted by the Legal Affairs Committee.
Efterhånden som de nationale begrænsninger falder bort, må der indføres europæiske sikkerhedsforanstaltninger og standarder. I modsat fald vil forskelle mellem de nationale standarder kunne forvride konkurrencen.
We have discussed this at length and we know that certain Member States contest article 2 of this directive in particular and accuse the Commission of exceeding Community competence by enacting criminal law.
For eksempel ville omkostningerne ved kontrol og efterforskning af pengevaskning falde uforholdsmæssigt hårdt på de lande, der havde høje standarder, medens pengevaskerne ville blive opmuntret til at foretage deres transaktioner i de lande, hvis lovgivning var svag.
We do not think that either the definitions of serious crime in article 1, nor article 2 requiring Member States to decide whether a serious crime has been committed when money is laundered which itself arises from serious offences amount to criminal law enacted by the Commission because, in all cases, the obligation is placed on Member States to enact their own criminal legislation in the usual way.
Det følger heraf, at det er nødvendigt for Fællesskabet at bestemme sig til en fælles standard for afskrækkelse og afstraffelse. felse.
I think the Commission will have to defend its position very firmly before the Council if we want this text to remain effective.
Der har været en omfattende forfatningsretlig tvist, ikke mindst i Retsudvalget, om i hvilket omfang Fællesskabet har kompetence til ved lovgivning at kriminalisere handlinger.
That said, Mr President, and speaking now in the name of my group, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that we are also sustaining two amendments that we proposed which were adopted by the Legal Affairs Committee, The first concerns the concept of a serious criminal offence in article 1.
Retsudvalget accepterede Kommissionens formulering i artikel 2, og uanset de forfatningsretlige spørgsmål, der diskuteres, er det åbenlyst uomgængeligt nødvendigt, på hvad måde det end sker, at alle medlemsstater vedtager straffebestemmelser.
If the Commission's text is retained, the scope of this concept could vary considerably from one country to another, which would risk engendering distorions in competition.
Det synes usandsynligt, at de, der beskæftiger sig med renvaskning af penge indtjent ved forbryderisk virksomhed, skulle afskrækkes af andre sanktioner end straf.
That is why we prefer the text passed by the Legal Affairs Committee which gives a precise list of serious criminal offences falling within the coverage of this directive.
For dem, der stadig nærer tvivl på dette punkt, er der yderligere en praktisk begrundelse for en kriminalretlig sanktion, idet det i et antal medlemsstater er nødvendigt at rejse sigtelse for kriminelle handlinger, før lovgivnin gen om bankhemmelighed kan tilsidesættes.
The second amendment, to which we attach great importance, concerns the deletion from article 5, paragraph 1, of the obligation on employees of credit institutions to report every fact which could be linked to the laundering of capital.
Hoon (S), ordfører. — (EN) Hr. formand, den europæiske narkotikahandel har en omsætning på mindst 16 milliarder USD om året.
Mr President, 1 hope that the Council will be able to adopt this directive as amended very quickly.
Heraf skønnes det, at mellem 50 % og 70 % er ren fortjeneste.
Europe has need of this weapon if wc are to fight the drugtraffickers on equal terms.
Det er klart, at sådanne beløb er særlig tiltrækkende for den organiserede kriminalitet, men der er ingen tvivl om, at renvaskning af penge sker på alle niveauer af kriminalitet og i forbindelse med alle arter forbrydelser, ikke blot narkotikahandel, men alle lovovertrædelser, der indbringer overtræderne en finansiel gevinst.
It is perhaps rather a shame that the Community as such does not have more substantial means of taking action within its own territory, but I think it is using every means it can and should use, and I do not think the Member States should make the text any weaker than it is at present.
Renvaskning af penge indbringer enorme pengesummer, idet der tages en provision på mellem seks og otte procent for sådanne tjenester.
We shall support the Schmid amendments tabled in the name of our group to strenghten the text.
Denne mulighed opmuntrer til forbrydelser, fordi forbryderne således kan få en fortjeneste ved deres ulovlige virksomhed.
However, I do not think we shall support the Lulling amendments.
Dette er den første og måske den mest grundlæggende begrundelse for lovgivning mod renvaskning af penge.
We shall have further meetings with the PPE, but I think that this involves a weakening, a step backward in comparison with the text.
Ingen, der har beskæftiget sig med dette spørgsmål, nærer nogen illusioner med hensyn til de vanskelig heder, der vil være forbundet med at standse ren vaskningen af kriminelle penge. Det bedste, der kan opnås, er, at vi i Det Europæiske Fællesskab gen nemfører lovgivning, der gør sådanne transaktioner vanskelige, end de før har været, og udstrækker
We hope, then, that the European Parliament will support the rapporteur and adopt our amendments, and we hope above all that the Member States will accept this directive in the form in which it leaves this Parliament and accept that the harmonization they are being asked for in criminal law is well within the normal
Udvalget tilslutter sig hovedlinjerne i Kommis sionens forslag, men stiller en række ændringsforslag til forbedring af forslagets ånd.
Group for the amendments passed by the Committee on Legal Affairs, with the possible exception of those referring to control of the situation in third countries.
Derfor har vi udvidet listen over de omfattede forbrydelser, og derfor har vi især forsøgt at oprette et omfattende system af elektronisk registrering af internationale overførsler.
We also know how important it is for laundering to be defined as a criminal offence, otherwise we shall always be coming up against banking secrecy and this control would loose a part of its effectiveness.
Vi håber, at et sådant system vil være til betydelig nytte ved efterforskning af pengevaskernes spor.
On these two points, we hope that the Commission will give us an assurance that it will defend its text, as it stands, to the bitter end.
Det første angår artikel 3, der siger, at kredit- og finansieringsinstitutter skal kræve legitimation af deres kunder, forinden der udføres forretninger eller åbnes konto for dem.
GARCIA AMIGO (PPE). — (ES) Mr President, only four days ago the Spanish Special Investigator into drugs pleaded in the Spanish Parliament for the introduction of a law to regulate the laundering of money.
I Kommissionens udformning indebærer artikel 3 fare for at rejse uløselige problemer for clearingsystemerne. På grund af det umådeligt store antal transaktioner, der gennemføres, er det nemlig umuligt for dem, der forvalter clearingsystemerne, at identificere de personer, som transaktionerne udføres for.
All I can do is congratulate the Commission on taking this initiative and making up for the failure of the Spanish Government, which will now of course have no choice but to bring in the law the Special Investigator on drugs is calling for.
Derfor foreslår Økonomi- og Valutaudvalget, at det finansielle mellemled, der er tilknyttet clearingsystemet, skal opfylde de i artikel 3 nævnte forpligtelser.
Having said this, it must be recalled that this Parliament approved a document from Mr Stewart-Clark on drugs which stated that one of the most important measures in the fight against this vice was precisely to regulate the laundering of money.
Ikke desto mindre vil Fællesskabet utvivlsomt fortsat være sårbart for pengevaskning, der har fundet sted uden for dets jurisdiktion.
We think it will be an extremely complicated matter to organize and enforce these obligations at the legal level.
Hvis de renvaskede penge så tilbageføres til en af medlemsstaterne ved en tilsyneladende lovlig transaktion, vil det være svært at undgå det andet problem, jeg før omtalte.
This is the case, for example, with the obligation to examine unusual transactions with special attention, or the duty to report facts which may be related to a moneylaundering offence.
Derfor vil vi gerne have, at Kommissionen opmuntrer tredjelande til at indføre tilsvarende standarder.
How will it be possible to assess whether these duties have been fulfilled when, for example, in case of identification of clients, there is no suspicion that a certain client is not acting on his own account?
Vi vil foreslå, at den gør dette ved at følge tredjelandes lovgivning og praksis og ved at lægge passende pres på i tilfælde, hvor Kommissionen mener, at der ikke gennemføres en tilstrækkelig grad af beskyttelse.
The fluidity and relative uncertainty in this directive may raise problems in its implementation and application, and conflict with other duties, rights or principles established in national legislation.
Jeg håber derfor, at Kommissionen under sine forhandlinger med Rådet vil kunne holde fast ved de rimelige ændringsforslag, som Retsudvalget har stillet.
So while on the one hand we are delighted with the aims of this directive, on the other hand we fear the misuse of some of the methods recommended, as it does not seem admissible to introduce a policy of examining every transaction, or to turn bankers into systematic in formers.
Det andet ændringsforslag, som jeg gerne vil henlede Deres opmærksomhed på, vedrører artikel 5, stk. 2.
But of course, certain considerations must be borne in mind here, Mr President.
Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik foreslår endvidere, at staten skal yde erstatning for skade, som måtte være opstået som direkte følge af en urigtig erklæring afgivet i god tro.
First, account has to be taken of the fact that the European Community has competence only in certain fields.
