Adam (S), ordforer for udtalelsen fra Energi, Forsknings- og Teknologiudvalget. — (EN) Hr. formand, Energi, Forsknings- og Teknologiudvalget noterede i forbindelse med decharge for 1988, at det var et godt år for udnyttelse af bevillingerne, og at de fremskridt, som vi har set i de tidligere år, var fortsat.
PAPAYANNAKIS (GUE). — (GRJ Mr President, we too will vote for the reports that have been presented, but I would briefly like to revert to the appalling conditions at the State Psychiatric Hospital on Leros, which was mentioned in the Iversen report.
Det betyder, at vi kun har to muligheder, når vi analyserer, hvad der er sket.
It is, of course, difficult to lay one's hands directly on those who commit fraud.
Enten har Kommissionens overslag i det foreløbige budgetforslag været helt forkert og kan siges at have vildledt Parlamentet, da vi senere overvejede ændringsforslaget til budgettet.
Nevertheless, the countries concerned can be called to account, because it is they, after all, who have helped to channel these resources in the wrong direction.
Eller, alternativt, har Kommissionens for valtning af de pågældende konti simpelt hen været af en sådan art, at den sikrede sig, at det udgiftsniveau, som den anså for passende, blev nået.
Unfortunately, it must be said that the Member States take such vigorous action because they are afraid that repayments will put them at a disadvantage in future budgets and their resources will be reduced accordingly.
Men i de foreliggende tilfælde har den ikke engang nået sidst nævnte mål.
We must do everything we can to prevent this money from getting into the wrong hands.
Men dechargen er faktisk mere end et spørgsmål om udnyttelsen eller anvendelsen af ressourcerne.
The threat embodied in the Iversen report concerning the return of the funds is a very effective one, since it keeps up the pressure.
Med hensyn til energien har vi måttet notere, at der er problemer med demonstrationsprogrammet, og skønt jeg ikke på nogen måde vil forsøge at und skylde eller formindske denne virkning, må man forstå, at meget af den skyldtes de lave oliepriser i begyndelsen af firserne, og som på det tidspunkt var ved at slå igennem, så at mange af de projekter, der på et tidspunkt blev anset for at være lønsomme, har vist sig ikke at være det. Derfor var der mange, der blev slettet.
This pressure must be maintained, because many politicians in Greece continue to use the Psychiatric Hospital on Leros as a lever for the development of the island and the inhabitants.
Hr. formand, vi har derfor her i Parlamentet alvorlig grund til bekymring, og det er derfor, at Budgetkontroludvalget vil fortsætte med at holde Parlamentets udvalg i ørene for at sikre sig, at de bruger mindst lige så megen tid på at se på gennemførelsen af budgettet som på at formulere ændringsforslag til det.
ALAVANOS (CG). — (GR) Mr President, my group too agrees with the reports by Mr Iversen and the others, and will vote for them. I too would like to say something about the Leros Psychiatric Hospital, though my colleague Mr Papayannakis has largely pre-empted me.
Hvis ikke Parlamentets udvalg hele tiden kræver Kommissionen til regnskab, hele tiden forsøger at finde ud af, hvordan udgiftsprofilen vedrørende de enkelte konti er, og hele tiden overvåger, hvordan det faktisk går med gennemførelsen af budgettet, så finder vi, at vi overlader alt for mange udøvende
This is certainly a situation which demands severity on our part. While on the one hand we have a psychiatric asylum which takes us back to the last century, on the other hand we have these serious possibilities, by virtue of the Community's special programme amounting to ECU 120 million, to adopt tadical measures to deal with and modernize the system of psychiatric care in our country.
Med hensyn til forskningen har hr. Iversen i punkt 61 og 62 i sin betænkning noteret problemet med fremførsler.
The threat should be maintained, mainly, to speed up the work and to avoid tragic mistakes, and it seems that there is a danger of the latter.
Vi har svært ved at forene den flerårige karakter af rammeprogrammet med en årlig budgetprocedure, og jeg håber, at kommissæren, der jo er til stede her til formiddag, kan komme med en antydning af, at Kommissionen vil tage
Bearing in mind that there are patients at the Hospital who have been committed there for over 25 years, their overhasty transfer elsewhere may well give rise to terrifying problems, perhaps even to their deaths.
Adam punkt 11 i den interinstitutionelle aftale mere alvor ligt i fremtiden.
ALAVANOS new psychiatric programmes being submitted which also remain unrealized.
På miljøpolitikken anvender vi ikke engang én promille af Fællesskabets budget, og lige muligheder forekommer kun i fodnoter.
The crux of Mr Iversen's report is that while we agree to grant a discharge this year, nevertheless it is like the boy with the school report card, where we say : 'all right, it is a fair attempt but it could be a great deal better'.
Således har Rådet f.eks. i det andet handlingsprogram for lige behandling ikke engang sørget for mulighed for at stille ekstra midler til rådighed til gennemførelsen af dette handlingsprogram. Og hvis det så tilmed også viser sig, at når Parlamentet vil ændre noget ved pengene, anvendes de ikke, så er situationen virkelig alvorlig.
From this standpoint we understand the European Parliament's strict attitude to the matter, but I too, like my colleague, Mr Papayannakis, would like to stress that I think that during the last coalition government's term of office, with the creation of the Coordinating Committee for Mental Health, there has been an important step forward, still in its early stages of course, towards implementing the programme with active participation by the univetsities, psychiatric units and psychiatric associations in our country, an effort which should be encouraged and supported on our part.
Vi fik budgettet vedtaget sent, og vi fik ikke det nye program for FFC før næsten ved slutningen af året.
We welcome the establishment of the Uclaf unit but there are other areas of Commission expenditure.
Hr. Iversens betænkning forsøger på begge områder at finde den virkelige politik frem og således ikke blot de farvestrålende brochurer og de flotte ord.
For exactly that reason we agree with the need to create a committee for the direct monitoring and supervision of these programmes, we agree with the need to prepare reports, but we think that the financial side of the matter ought to be dealt with more flexibly, especially since it is intended to cover the period up to 1991 as mentioned in the regulation as it stands today.
Desuden anmoder vi Kommissionen om årligt at offentliggøre en rapport om de to områder.
The decision on the discharge therefore reflects considerable political responsibility.
Jeg vil derfor gerne både fra Revisionsrettens og fra Kommissionens side høre en positiv reaktion på disse anmodninger, hvorom jeg tror, at de fuldstændigt er i overensstemmelse med hensigten med alle vore ord, som vi udtaler med hensyn til disse to områder.
It does not just consist in establishing that the implementation of the budget has been mathematically correct : it must also assess how well political objectives have been achieved with the budget and what conclusions should be drawn from this for the future.
Goedmakers (S). — (NL) Hr. formand, i Iversen betænkningen kommer man på en meget klar måde ind på et problem, som Revisionsretten har gjort opmærksom på.
McMAHON (S). — Mr President, it is with a sense of déjà vu that we annually read the Auditors' report and that we annually take part in this exchange of views with the Commission regarding discharge because year after year and report after report, we get the same types of criticism coming forward from the auditors.
I Parlamentet bruger vi temmelig megen energi og tid på at ændre budgettet, medens mange af disse bestræbelser bagefter viser sig at have været til ingen verdens nytte, fordi Kommissionen viser sig ikke engang at have anvendt de oprindeligt budgetterede beløb til budgetposterne.
The same areas of weaknesses are pointed out and the measures which the Commission is proposing to take in many instances, according to the Court of Auditors, in no way meet the situation.
Dette er en overordentlig foruroligende kendsgerning, og alle parlamentsudvalgene må tage sig af dette og se at finde måder, hvorpå de i løbet af et regnskabsår kan få indsigt i Kommissionens udgiftsmønster på deres politiske områder og de områder, som deres opmærksomhed er særligt henledt på.
In Mr Iversen's wide-ranging report, on which I congratulate him and which my group generally approves — and so approves the granting of a discharge to the Commission — I feel this political claim becomes rather lost in the wide range of aspects covered.
Budgetkontroludvalget har i Iversenbetænkningen forsøgt at skabe instrumenter hertil.
If we look at the EAGGF section for example, in paragraph 62a, the auditors say 'the measures suffer from a lack of sufficient, precise definition of control in Community regulations.
Målsætningerne for begge områder er også ubestridte. Kvindernes tilbagestående stilling er f.eks. indlysende.
What needs to be clearly underlined is, firstly, the declaration of belief in subsidiarity and partnership between the Member States and the Commission, which must take overall responsibility during implementation.
Kvinders fuldstændige underrepræsentation i de mellemste lønklasser i Kommissionens politiske apparat og den næsten manglende tilstedeværelse af kvinder i de højere lønklasser afspejler meget tyde ligt den uretfærdige og dermed uholdbare situation i samfundet.
Secondly, despite the generally improved rate of resource utilization — even on the basis of the annuality principle introduced in 1988 — we are very concerned about the extensive cancellations in various sectors, and particularly the Regional Fund and the Social Fund. It is essential that the Commission find a remedy here.
Jeg vil gerne først og fremmest koncentrere mig om forholdet til medlemsstaterne, både politisk og administrativt.
The Commission attempts in a rather haphazard way to tackle this, but in no way do they get to the real heart of the problem.
Vi forsøger at overbevise dem om, at Europa-Parlamentet godt kan irettesætte Kommissionen, men at dette ikke er tilfældet for medlemsstaterne, som størstedelen af kontrollen i virkeligheden tilkommer.
We find also in the social affairs area, which Mr Alavanos has touched on, the scandal of Leros which was exposed by the Observer newspaper in the United Kingdom and by a recent television programme. This has been going on since 1984.
Når der så fremkommer beretninger om svig, peger man bebrejdende på Europa i stedet for at søge de skyldige i ens eget land.
The regulation was passed six years ago and here we have this Community money being misspent over a period of six years and the Commission is only rather reluctantly brought to tackle the problem.
Vi ved alle sammen, at vi ikke kan fortsætte med at ødelægge vore omgivelser.
Weakness in the management of resources can be detected, fot example, in the lengthy decisionmaking processes, duplication of effort, inadequate monitoring of projects and also the supervision of payments.
Vi producerer så meget møg, at vi, hvis vi ikke passer på, efter nogen tid vil omkomme i vort eget møg og efterlade børn en verden, som ikke er til at leve i.
Other details will be disclosed in an external report to be drawn up in the middle of the yeat.
Med hensyn til de egne indtægter konstateres der alvorlige mangler, hvorved Kommissionen ofte har indtaget en alt for slap holdning.
It is making some strides and the message from the House today is that the attempts they have made so far are really not good enough.
Kort sagt er både ligebehandling af mænd og kvinder og miljøpolitik politiske områder, som Parlamentet prioriterer højt.
A final assessment of the welcome progress in the restructuring of the Joint Research Centre cannot yet be made.
Det viser i nogen grad, at Kommissionen næsten ignorerer Parlamentets særlige ønsker på disse områder, og vi ser frem til forbedringer i de kommende år.
These methods must be developed by the Commission, and the Court of Auditors can give it some useful tips in this respect.
missionen holde sit ord med hensyn til at forenkle de somme tider alt for indviklede forskrifter og procedurer og gøre dem mere gennemskuelige.
I share Mr Marck's view that national parliaments could help to ensure improved control at national level but we have an even bigger role here in exposing the failures of the Member States.
Frem for alt i forbindelse med den fælles landbrugspolitik er det somme tider temmelig vanskeligt at genkende en lovgivning efter en række ændringer.
It was the public hearings of the Committee on Budgetary Control in January 1989 which set in motion the programme to combat fraud.
Kun bedragere kan åbenbart stadig finde det hul, som sætter dem i stand til at opnå til tider meget store fortjenester.
We now have to maintain our pressure if we want to achieve public confidence in Community expenditure and, therefore, a willingness to transfer more responsibility to the European level.
Jeg er ked af, at administration af praktiske grunde har besluttet ikke at medtage ordførernes delbetænkninger sammen med Iversen-betænkningen.
My group also approves Mr Tomlinson's report on the discharge in respect of Parliament's budget for 1986, 1987 and 1988.
Jeg mener, at de kolleger i udvalget, der har udført det nødvendige arbejde for at støtte hr. Iversen, har fortjent at få deres bidrag trykt sammen med Iver sen-betænkningen.
But, like Mr Tomlinson, I should like to make it absolutely clear that a discrepancy of BFR 4.1 million dating back to 1982 has still to be regularized. As in previous years this amount must be excluded from the discharge until the matter is finally clarified by the Court.
Afslutningsvis vil jeg gerne sige, at vi også støtter fru Hoff, fru Simons og hr. Tomlinson i deres betænkninger og takker dem for det arbejde, de har udført.
As I did in my report on the 1988 annual accounts, I would refer once again to the constant decline in the utilization of resources. This cannot be entirely due to the thrift of the administration, welcome though it is in itself.
Jeg ved, at Kommissionen også vil henvise til Rådets forsømmelser.
The Commission has a key role to play in all of this.
For to år siden lavede jeg under høringen om svig en fortegnelse over de kommissionsforslag om budgetkontrol, som lå hos Rådet, men aldrig havde ført til en beslutning.
It should be much tougher, in my view, in holding the Member States financially responsible, where those Member States fail to exercise proper control of Community money.
Nogle af disse forslag er mere end ti år gamle.
In the last year or so, the Member States have at last agreed stronger, explicit powers of supervision for the Commission.
Hvad agter Kommissionen at gøre for at få gang i dette?
It is important that it uses those powers effectively.
Parlamentet er villigt til at sætte en skamplet på Rådets hykleri, men de nationale administrationer vil åbenbart beholde deres privilegier og er i alt for ringe grad klar over, at de hermed blot skaber en fordel for bedragere, som for det meste viser internationale forgreninger.
But I also remind it that when it is given authority to pay money to the Member States, the Treaties imply such powers over Member State agencies as may be necessary for the proper control of that expenditure.
Cochet (V). — (FR) Også jeg ønsker at takke de seks ordførere, der må siges at have udført et temmelig vanskeligt stykke arbejde med et utaknemmeligt emne.
The Commission should not shirk that responsibility even if it is not stated in express terms.
Vi afholder os imidlertid fra at stemme om hr. Iversens betænkning, ikke på grund af selve betænkningen, men fordi vi i meget lang tid generelt har været uenige i fællesskabsbudgettets struktur.
In no legal structure are all such powers explicit and it would make nonsense of the concept of proper control if the necessary powers were not implied and exercised.
Jeg vil til sidst lige komme tilbage til et presserende spørgsmål, som jeg har stillet i Budgetkontroludvalget i forbindelse med den opdagede sorte kreds af unddragelse af mælkekvoter i Nederlandene. Også i Iversenbetænkningen tales der om disse mælkekvoter.
As the democratically elected representative of the citizens of Europe, Parliament has a duty to treat their taxes with care and to use them efficiently.
Eftersom jeg stadig ikke har modtaget det lovede skriftlige svar, beder jeg kommissæren om at svare her.
My group also approves the other reports and thanks the rapporteurs and the secretariat for the thorough work they have done.
Det er en levende illustration af forholdet mellem Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne med unddragelse af europæiske bestemmelser, underminering af stabilisatorordningen og konkurrencefordrejning. drejning.
WYNN (S). — Mr President, I wish to speak on the Iversen report. First of all, 1 want to thank Mr Iversen for his report and congratulate him because it seems to encompass the opinions of the majority of the Committee on Budgetary Control.
Til slut ønsker jeg at nævne et positivt element, nemlig oprettelsen af den særlige kontrolafdeling i Kommissionen.
PRICE (ED). — Mr President, the Commission is responsible for execution of the budget, but for the majority of Community spending, the Commission's role is merely supervisory.
I de europæiske borgeres og i det europæiske image' interesse må dette fortsættes.
We depend on the efficiency of the Member States for the proper control of Community expenditure.
Denne kritik er i realiteten indeholdt i de to ændringsforslag til fru Simons' betænkning.
I want to mention the two amendments that are submitted in my name.
Hvor dan kan man måle effektiviteten af Fællesskabets finansielle bistand til Den Tredje Verden?
Amendment No 1 is to ensure that the on-the-spot checks mentioned are carried out by the Commission staff and not by civil servants of the Member States.
Det første svar lyder: Denne støtte skal øge det, man kan kalde landenes udvikling hen imod selvstændighed og ikke afhængighed, som det har været tilfældet de sidste tyve år.
It may seem to be a play on words, but the intention is to ensure that it is not left to the people who are spending the money to do the on-the-spot monitoring, but to the Commission itself.
Måske ligger fejlen ikke udelukkende hos Fællesskabet, men den skal også findes i den form for bistand, vi yder.
It has nothing to do with the psychiatric hospital in Leros, but it has everything to do with monitoring of projects in the Community support frameworks.
Hans dygtighed kan påvises på basis af den simple kendsgerning, som nu er forelagt for Parlamentet, at der kun er syv ændringsforslag til en betænkning med 91 punkter.
The two amendments attempt to ensure that the new structural Funds will not succumb to the problems of
Det andet svar lyder: Investeringerne skal skabe, hvad man kan kalde en holdbar udvikling — på engelsk: sustainable — i Brundtland-rapportens betydning, dvs. en varig, levedygtig, økologisk og socialt orienteret udvikling.
The report by the Court of Auditors on the 1988 financial year shows that the Member States are failing in theit responsibilities across the board, from the payment of revenue to the submission of final accounts.
Ud over at udføre en regnskabsrevision har Parlamentet ansvaret for at foretage en politisk revision.
Italy and Spain failed to pay a total of over ECU 1.5 billion of revenue by the end of the year although they were under a legal obligation to make these payments.
Det er her, det blive indlysende, at man ikke har brugt de penge til politiske initiativer, som Parla
The Court also noted that 27% of the revenue covered by the intergovernmental agreement was paid late.
Til sidst vil jeg takke fru Goedmakers, der i sit indlæg talte en del om miljø og ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder.
The result was, to quote the Court, 'an unequal response from the Member States to their financial obligations towards the Communities'.
Næstformand ordentlig anvendelse, men at der alligevel blev konstateret mangler, som førte til, at hr. Iversen trak det gule kort frem.
There is no problem in giving discharge to the regional fund spending for 1988, but that does not mean everything was perfect. Far from it.
Det bliver den nødt til at lægge sig på sinde.
Commission staff should be doing the checking and this has been one of the failings in the past.
Papayannakis (GUE). — (GR) Hr. formand, også vi vil stemme for de betænkninger, som vi nu har hørt fremlagt, men jeg vil gerne vende tilbage til og bruge et par ord på de elendige forhold på statshospitalet for sindslidende på Leros, som især Iversen-betænkningen beskæftiger sig med.
sums paid out to implement the appropriations opened in the budget. There are omissions at various levels : the structure of the budget, the lack of homogeneity of sectors, the incompleteness of the structure and the excessive brevity of certain items in the nomenclature make it difficult for the authorities responsible for granting the discharge to make an appropriate check on implementation.
Det, der er at kritisere, skyldes ikke så meget — så vidt jeg kan se — myndighedens arbejdsmetode, men snarere, at bedrageriske tiltag, som hr. Marck allerede har gjort opmærksom på, ikke blev forfulgt med den nødvendige strenghed. Det er naturligvis vanskeligt at få et direkte greb om dem, som begår bedragerier.
I ask the rapporteur to take on board these two amendments with the cotrection as mentioned in No 2.
Alligevel kan man da også drage de pågældende stater til ansvar, for det er jo i sidste instans dem, som har bidraget til, at disse bevillinger gik i de forkerte lommer.
During the revision of the financial regulation the Commission had proposed creating more homogeneous budget sectors and the inclusion of loans and borrowing, but although Parliament supported it, the proposal did not succeed in breaching the wall of Council opposition.
På den anden side er det naturligvis af og til også vanskeligt at få disse bevillinger tilbage, men det skal så netop den pågældende stat tage ansvaret for.
A careful analysis must be made at yet another level : that of internal and external controls.
Det må beklageligvis konstateres, at staterne anvender så megen energi på sagen, fordi de er bange for, at de i forbindelse med restitutioner i kommende budgetforslag skal blive forfordelt, og at man skærer deres bevillinger tilsvarende ned.
The Court of Auditors has criticized the state of internal controls at the Commission and has highlighted sevetal lacunae concerning the duties of the three principal officers, the financial controllers, the authorizing officers and the accounting officers, including their relationship to one another.
Set som en helhed er der, som det fremgår af betænkningerne, heldigvis en forbedring af situationen at konstatere, så at vor gruppe ser sig i stand til at stemme for de enkelte betænkninger.
External controls are de legated more and more to the national authorities, and controls on the spot, which ought to be increased in view of the growing decentralization of the manage ment of Community policies, are instead being reduced.
Alavanos (CG). — (GR) Hr. formand, min gruppe er enig i betænkningerne af Iversen og af de øvrige medlemmer og vil stemme for dem.
LO GIUDICE (PPE). — (IT) Mr President, the political background to the approval of the discharge for the financial year 1988 shows many interesting develop ments giving us a glimpse of positive changes but at the same time also of risks which must be avoided and forestalled.
Jeg ville også gerne kommentere tilfældet med hospitalet for sindslidende på Leros, skønt hr. Papayannakis har sagt det meste af, hvad jeg ville sige.
We feel concerned above all about the role of the Community in relation to the Membet States as regards working out general policies and the subsequent management of the budget.
