Det er formålet med det af os foreslåede nye stk. 3 i artikel 5.
There is a reference to this at the end of article 2 of the draft directive.
En sådan bestemmelse findes f.eks. allerede i fransk lovgivning om renvaskning af penge.
We are all in favour of making it a crime to launder money and punishing it.
Endelig foreslår vi et nyt stk. 4 i artikel 5, hvori det siges, at oplysninger, der meddeles myndighederne i medfør af direktivet, kun kan anvendes i forbindelse med efterforskninger vedrørende de i dette direktiv omhandlede alvorlige forbrydelser.
Furthermore, Mr President, the draft directive does not touch on any type of sanction for which the Community does have competence. For example, civil sanctions for this type of activity have been overlooked, something which is incorporated into amendment no 10 tabled by Mr Janssen Van Raay.
Jeg gør opmærksom på, at Retsudvalget vedtog alle fire ændringsforslag. forslag.
And in amendment No 15 Mrs Salema has specified and spelt out administrative sanctions for this type of activiy.
For øvrigt er det ligeledes vigtigt, at de tolv medlemsstater følger ensartede regler ved bekæmpelse af renvaskning af udbyttet af ulovlige handlinger for at undgå konkurrenceforvridning og for at forhindre, at visse lande indfører foranstaltninger, der er uforenelige med det indre markeds færdiggørelse.
My Group will support the rest of the amendments also approved by the Committee on Legal Affairs and, naturally, on how to exempt employees from the general obligations on bank managers.
Når det er sagt, hr. formand, vil jeg nu gerne på gruppens vegne henlede Deres opmærksomhed på, at vi også støtter to af Retsudvalget vedtagne ændringsforslag.
BETHELL, THE LORD (ED). — Mr President, the European Democratic Group supports this report and congratulates Mr Hoon on the work he has done; it likewise congratulates the Commission on bringing this important matter to the attention of Parliament nd the legislative process.
Vedtages Kommissionens forslag, kan dette begreb fortolkes meget forskelligt fra land til land, og det kan medføre konkurrence forvridninger.
On the contrary, we believe that it is essential that the Community institutions take into account the accelerating pace of the activity of the fraudster, the international terrorist and the drug trafficker.
Derfor foretrækker vi det af Retsudvalget vedtagne forslag, der indeholder en nøjagtig fortegnelse over de alvorlige forbrydelser, der falder ind under direktivets anvendelsesområde.
If the European institutions do not tackle this problem seriously progress towards a single market in financial services will be placed in serious jeopardy, as well as the health and security of the people of the twelve Member States.
Vi skal have yderligere møder med PPE-Gruppen, men jeg synes, at det er en svækkelse af teksten og dermed et tilbageskridt.
Neither must the police, the law enforcement agencies, be held back by the frontiers of the European Community.
Vayssade (S). — (FR) Som ordføreren og ordføreren for udtalelsen netop sagde, er et af de mest effektive midler til bekæmpelse af narkotikahandel og andre former for organiseret kriminalitet at for hindre genanvendelse af udbyttet deraf og dermed at ramme en af de vigtigste tilskyndelser til narkotika handel og kriminalitet ved kilden.
LANE (RDE). — Mr President, I would also like to compliment the rapporteur Mr Hoon on the proposed directive on money laundering.
Det forekommer os derfor at være essentielt at gøre renvaskning af penge til en alvorlig forbrydelse, når der er tale om udbytte fra alvorlige forbrydelser.
In recent years the problem of money laundering has not just been confined to drug trafficking and criminals.
Vi er også helt på det rene med vigtigheden af, at det gøres til en strafferetlig handling at renvaske penge, ellers vil vi altid støde på bankhemmeligheden, hvorved kontrollen vil miste en del af sin effektivitet.
Terrorist organizations that thrive on finance gained from armed robbery, extortion and kidnapping have used the banking and savings systems to launder their money into outwardly legitimate businesses. Such a directive is required to eliminate as far as possible this practice.
På disse to punkter håber vi, at Kommissionen til det yderste vil forsvare sit forslag i den foreliggende form.
However, we must also be careful to protect the normal bank customers' confidential arrangements for the normal business of banking.
Vi mener imidlertid i Den Socialistiske Gruppe, at en fælles lovgivning er absolut påkrævet.
If we are to have a common market, we must approve this piece of legislation with the utmost dispatch.
Af hen syn til effektiviteten er der brug for koordinering mellem de tolv medlemsstater, og der bør kollektivt træffes beslutning om forhandlinger med tredjelande om dette emne.
I believe that customer confidentiality, important though it be, must take second place when it comes to dealing with these very important crimes in the interest of the tax payer and the citizen.
Jeg kan derfor kun takke Kom missionen, der således afhjælper det manglende initiativ fra den spanske regering, som det ellers til kommer at tage initiativer på dette område.
Because of the ease of moving money across frontiers, great care must be taken to make sure such loopholes do not exist.
Den spanske regering må hermed nødvendigvis efter komme statsadvokatens anmodning.
I wonder if the Commission could tell us if they agree with this amendment and what monitoring procedures they have in mind ?
Der skal i denne forbindelse gøres opmærksom på, at Europa-Parlamentet har vedtaget en betænkning af Sir Jack Stewart-Clark om narkotika, hvori det netop anførtes, at et af de vigtigste midler til at bekæmpe denne svøbe var at indføre forebyggende foranstaltninger mod renvaskning af penge.
I have a problem with employees having an obligation to report suspicious transactions to the competent authorities as in Amendment No 9 I favour the UK system, where employees report to their superiors, who in turn report to a special unit within the institution, which evaluates all suspicious transactions and liaises with the competent authorities on all reports.
Vi har haft mange drøftelser, og vi er klar over, at flere medlemsstater især er imod direktivets artikel 2 og beskylder Kommissionen for at være gået ud over Fællesskabets kompetencer ved at lave strafferet.
TARADASH (V). — (IT) Mr President, if the objective to be achieved is the defence of the violated honour of the international financial system, then this directive is very timely, because sometimes honour is defended by shouting 'no, no' when we mean 'yes, yes'.
Vi mener ikke, at definitionerne af alvorlige forbrydelser i artikel 2, eller at artikel 1, der kræver, at medlemsstaterne skal betragte renvaskning af penge hidrørende fra alvorlige forbrydelser som en alvorlig forbrydelse, er udøvelse af strafferet fra Kommis sionens side, idet det i alle tilfælde pålægges med lemsstaterne at benytte deres egen lovgivning og at praktisere deres strafferet, som de plejer.
But if instead the purpose of the directive is to be effective then I must express serious doubts. Studies have been carried out at the international level — there is a recent one by the Max Planck institue for the German government — on the effectiveness of antilaundering operations in actually controlling the money generated by this traffic.
Jeg synes, at Kommissionen energisk bør forsvare sin holdning over for Rådet, hvis man ønsker, at forslaget skal bevare sin effektivitet.
And it has been shown that it is only 2 or 3 per cent effective even with good laws, in other words, only to a completely derisory extent, in fact.
Der er netop blevet henvist til artikel 2 i direktivforslaget.
On Amendment No 12 I add a note of caution.
Vi går alle ind for, at renvaskning af penge gøres strafbart, at der indføres sanktioner herfor.
Here we talk of facts that could constitute evidence of money laundering and then mention exchanging information with other supervisory authorities.
Men en ting er, hvad der er ønskværdigt, noget andet er Fællesskabets retsstatus.
I would prefer if evidence was proved before information was ex changed.
Efter min mening må artikel 2 i forslaget til direktiv forstås som en henstilling til medlemsstaterne.
There is always the danger of unproven evidence being stored in computers in lending institutions and supervisory authorities around the world about a person who may later prove to be innocent.
Det forekommer os, at det nuværende indhold i alt væsentligt er vendt mod medlemsstaterne.
Actually I think we are making a mistake in trying to bring in this directive to prevent the drug traffic.
Det er måske lidt synd, at Fællesskabet som sådant ikke har større muligheder for at handle inden for sit eget område, men jeg tror, at det udnytter alle de mulig heder, som det kan og bør anvende, og derfor mener jeg heller ikke, at medlemsstaterne bør svække for slaget mere, end det allerede er nu.
The only way now to put an end to drug trafficking and the laundering of the money it generates is to introduce legal regulation and state control of the trade, to abolish the prohibition of the trade in drugs, because today, if we compare the value of a hectogram of heroin and a kilo of gold, the hectogram of heroin is worth more.
Som vigtigt anser vi endvidere ændringsforslag nr. 17, der indfører den ny artikel 9 a, hvori det forlanges, at Kommissionen forelægger Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet en beret
If tomorrow we were able to compare a hectogram of heroin and a kilo of potatoes and they had the same value, then there would be no need for an antilaundering directive.
Sanktioner af civilretlig karakter omtales f.eks. ikke i forslaget, hvilket udbedres med ændringsforslag nr. 10 af
But it is not just drugs which need a directive to prevent the use of the financial system for laundering the product of illegal activities.
Naturligvis tilslutter vi os ligeledes ændringsforslaget til artikel 1 vedrørende definitionen af alvorlig for brydelse, der, som det er blevet påpeget, nødvendig vis måtte konkretiseres for ikke at skulle anvende den del af direktivforslagets formulering, hvor der tales om enhver anden form for alvorlig forbrydelse.
The mania to deregulate and remove workers' social protection, the excessive growth in the last two decades of the relative size of the black economy, the enormous value of the drug traffic, the arms trade, contraband, prostitution and similar activities all call for measures and action with a strong ethical and moral charge.
Især må der konkretiseres, når vi taler om typer af lovovertrædelse.
They cannot be kept institutionally separate in time and space, or they will be ineffective and will only serve and ratify what they are supposed to be combatting.
Desuden vil min gruppe støtte de af Retsudvalget tidligere vedtagne ændringsforslag og naturligvis ikke mindst det, der fritager de ansatte for den forpligtelse, der generelt gælder for bankernes ledelse.
meet with some reservations on the part of the Commission in strictly legal and constitutional terms, but it is surely pertinent to emphasize that in spite of the Commission's great awareness of this problem, there has been no real sense of urgency about making progress with this directive. Why?
Vi vil også takke Kommissionen for, at den har henledt Parlamentets opmærksomhed på dette alvorlige spørgsmål og taget initiativ til lovgivning.
Interpol assures us that even if the State increased tenfold their contributions to suppressive measures and control of goods, the maximum they could hope to achieve in twelve years would be to raise the percentage of merchandise seized at frontiers from around 6, 7 or 8 per cent to 15,16 or 17 per cent — 'If'.
Vi deler ikke den forrige talers mening, at dette spørgsmål berører de nationale regeringers kompetence.
But Ido not think that 'if' belong to the realms of the possible.
Vi mener tværtimod, at det er uomgængeligt nødvendigt, at fællesskabsinstitutionerne tager hen syn til, at bedrageres, internationale terroristers og narkotikahandleres virksomhed stadig forøges.
Interpol is just saying this to sugar the pill and avoid performing its bounden duty in the face of ideological terrorism from the prohibitionist regime.
Salema (LDR). — (PT) Hr. formand, i tilslutning til hr. Donneas indlæg genbekræfter jeg Den Liberale og Demokratiske Gruppes generelle støtte til Rets udvalgets ændringsforslag måske med undtagelse af forslagene vedrørende overvågning af situationen i tredjelande, hvis politiske sigte vi tilslutter os, men om hvis juridiske og praktiske rækkevidde vi nærer tvivl.
MORETTI (ARC). — (IT) Mr President, the opening of the frontiers in 1992 will further encourage the movement of goods, services and capital arising not only from honest business but also from illegal and criminal activities. I am glad to see that the Commission is presenting a proposal for a directive to the Council to prevent the laundering of the proceeds of illicit activities.
I denne sag taler jeg også med tilslutning fra Politisammenslutningen i England og Wales, der er direkte med i kampen mod de alvorlige forbrydelser, hvor der ikke blot er tale om milliarder af pund og dollar, men om menneskeliv.
One directive alone cannot adequately solve the real problems of the various states : albeit very belatedly, Italy must bring in laws that can enable the State to make a more determined contribution to the battle against the criminal organization which is profiting by the laundering of money from illegal sources.
Vi kan ikke stå som udeltagende tilskuere til, at sådanne forbrydelser finder sted, uden at gøre en indsats på internationalt niveau, for forbryderne bryder sig pokker om landegrænser. Derfor må politiet, de retshåndhævende organer, heller ikke begrænses af Det Europæiske Fællesskabs grænser.
I support the Commission's proposal to abolish banking secrecy to make it easier for the authorities to control capital and prevent honest business having to pay through co-involvement and blackmail for that logic of rampant criminal power, not only in Italy now, not only in Europe, but all over the whole world.
Jeg benytter denne lejlighed til at gøre opmærksom på to problemer i forbindelse med nærværende for slag.
I appreciate Mrs Salema's liberal concern: if we are to succeed in creating a healthy market certain areas of confidentiality and reserve, not secrecy, must be respected, and this principle cannot be repudiated and forgotten just because we have to fight and win the drugs war.
Det første har ikke så meget at gøre med Fællesskabets kompetence til at henstille til, at ren vaskning af penge hidrørende fra en alvorlig forbrydelse gøres til en strafbar handling, men især med de forpligtelser, der pålægges kreditinstitutterne og de øvrige finansieringsinstitutter, idet disse forpligtelsers obligatoriske karakter juridisk set forekommer og at gøre det kompliceret at overholde dem i praksis.
When Milton Friedman warned liberals and free-traders the world over prohibition would only result in disaster for the very formation of the market, the political situation, the national government situation, and the international situation, his forecast was right.
Det gælder f.eks. forpligtelsen til at udvise særlig påpasselighed i forbindelse med usædvanlige transaktioner og pligten til at oplyse om forhold, som kan formodes at stå i forbindelse med renvaskning af penge.
The tragedy is that not Mr Stewart Clark alone but all of you, if in different ways, are so anchored in the defence of the delusion of prohibition, which is what creates the thing you are seeking and hoping to cure with absolutely impossible measures.
Hvordan kan man tale om manglende opfyldelse af en forpligtelse, når der f.eks. i forbin delse med kravet om at fastslå identiteten af kunder ikke næres mistanke om, at en kunde ikke handler på egne vegne?
It is your prohibitionist choice that turns an agricultural crop like any other, which would sell in the market place at the same sort of price as any other, into the most splendid and monstrous business deal of the century, transform ing it into what?
Det foreliggende direktivs flydende og relativt vage karakter medfører, at det, når det omsættes til national lovgivning og bringes i anven delse, kan støde sammen med andre pligter, rettigheder og principper i de nationale lovgivninger.
A substance of the devil, a substance which throws everything into confusion, which destroys the political, institutional and economic reality of entire States in increasing numbers — there are now 25 to 30 in the world — and which is the principle scourge of Europe in social and cultural terms, in health terms, in political terms and in terms of crime.
Hvis vi skal have et enhedsmarked, må vi godkende dette stykke lovgivning uden tøven. Jeg kan ikke se noget som helst problem ved at gennemføre bestemmelsen om forpligtelse for institutioner og banker til at finde frem til indskydernes identitet.
And then you consider resolving this curse on the market economy, on liberal democratic thought, by starting to create a terrifying situation in Eastern Europe just when it is moving from a socalled 'socialist' economy to a freemarket economy.
Jeg mener, at selv om det er af betydning, at der er fortrolighed om kunderne, må dette komme i anden række, når vi i borgernes og skatteydernes interesse skal tage fat på disse meget alvorlige forbrydelser.
In a year or two you will have consigned it to the black-market, to the international crime network, which is ready now, which is already at work there creating a demand which will be un controllable in a year or eighteen months.
Ikke blot på bankhemmelighedens område, men især på det strafferetlige område.
Un controllable except by recreating a police state in
Ville Kommissionen være så venlig at fortælle os, om den kan gå ind for dette ændringsforslag, og på hvad måde den kunne tænke sig en sådan overvågning.
Bulgaria, and elsewhere, which you say is one of the things you do not want to do, but which some conservatives here and there would be quite prepared to tolerate because this is the devil's work, like sulphur in mediaeval times.
Jeg tror også, at dette direktiv indeholder en alvorlig teknisk fejl, idet renvaskning af penge kun defineres som en strafbar handling i forbindelse med visse forbrydelser, de som benævnes alvorlige forbrydelser.
For instance it fails completely to make any provision for dealing with financial institutions outside the Community, many of which have as their raison d'être the facilitation of shady or illegal transactions.
Jeg spørger mig selv, hvilken dommer vil kunne dømme en bankmand, der er sigtet for at have renvasket penge, hvis bankmanden fremfører, at han nok havde mistanke om, at noget var galt, men ikke om at var tale om en alvorlig forbrydelse.
Closer to home, the exceptional secrecy of the Swiss banking system invites hot money and makes effective monitoring very difficult.
Rent principielt foretrækker jeg en pligt til at rapportere frem for en ret til at rapportere.
But we know it will be no use because it fails to respond to the historical problem that we should be dealing with.
Med hensyn til ændringsforslag nr. 12 vil jeg råde til forsigtighed. Her omtaler vi forhold, som giver formodning om renvaskning af penge, og fortsætter så med at tale om udveksling af oplysninger med andre kontrolmyndigheder.
ZAVVOS (PPE). — (GR) Mr President, I too wish to commend the rapporteur for his report; likewise the Commission and the competent Commissioner for presenting us with a legally-binding directive to prevent the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering.
Den eneste måde til i dag effektivt at forhindre narkotikahandelen og renvaskningen af penge stammende fra narkotikahandel er at indføre en lovmæssig regulering og en statslig kontrol med denne handel, at afskaffe forbuddet mod narkotika handel.
The inactivity for instance of the Irish Government to date cannot be a good omen, given that we have on our doorstep the provisional IRA, a terrorist organization with a turnover of several million pounds a year, most of it raised from illegal rackets of one kind or another.
Hvis vi nemlig i dag lægger 100 g heroin og et kilogram guld på en vægt, så er det heroinen, der er mest værd.
It is an extraordinary situation given the amount of activity affecting the country and the financial resources need to sustain it.
I morgen vil vi kunne lægge 100 g heroin og et kg kartofler på vægten, og de vil have samme værdi, så der vil ikke være behov for noget direktiv mod renvaskning af penge.
But Ireland has no specific legislation against money laundering and it has ratified neither the 1980 recommendation of the Council of Europe nor the 1988 Geneva Convention which deals with that subject.
Lad os handle politisk, lad os træffe afgørelser, lad os forsøge reelt at få indflydelse på sagerne.
I hope the report is accepted and that the draft results in legislation in Member States.
Ferreira Ribeiro (CG). — (PT) Hr. formand, Touraine har sagt, at narkotika er kapitalismens højeste stadium, for så vidt som penge hidrørende fra produktion og salg af narkotika giver den største fortjeneste, repræsenterer de største investeringer og det største udbytte af disse og samtidig sikrer de involverede absolut anonymitet.
However, Mr President, there is a pressing need, in parallel with this, to formulate a longterm strategy for the financial systems of the Community for the purpose of combating organized crime and in particular the laundering of profits from the drugs trade.
Men det er ikke blot narkotika, der nødvendiggør et direktiv om forebyggende for anstaltninger mod anvendelse af det finansielle system til renvaskning af penge.
Money laundering through the financial system is an inter national scourge.
Lane (RDE). — (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil også gerne rose ordføreren, hr. Hoon, for direktivforslaget om renvaskning af penge.
If our, albeit inadequate, information is correct, the sums that are being moved around in this way are quite mindboggling.
I de senere år har problemerne med renvaskning af penge ikke været begrænset til kun at vedrøre narkotikahandel og forbrydere.
This directive is consistent with endeavours at the international level, and it constitutes more than just a first step in this direction, more, in other words, than just one aspect of the strategy that I have said is necessary.
Terroristorganisationer, der lever højt på penge, de skaffer sig ved røveri, afpresning og kidnapning, har brugt bank- og sparekassesystemerne til at renvaske deres penge og lede dem over til tilsyneladende lovlige virksomheder.
It introduces new elements, such as the criminalization of money laundering and the obligation on directors and employees to report suspicious circumstances, which are beyond question very desirable, and it goes a good way, in my view, towards filling an enormous gap in European legislation and towards strengthening the armoury of authorities in the Member States.
Et sådant direktiv er påkrævet for så vidt muligt at stoppe denne praksis.
Nevertheless, we do have some misgivings about, for instance, the article which extends the scope of the directive further than credit and financial institutions to include all natural and legal persons.
Vi må imidlertid omhyggeligt undgå at skade de almindelige bankkunders fortrolige ord ninger for normale banktransaktioner.
I have some doubts also about Amendment 3,5 which gives the Commission the role of international policeman.
Ændringsforslag nr. 2 opfordrer fornuftigt nok Kommissionen til at overvåge de tilsvarende kontrolordninger i tredjelande.
This directive will make it much harder for criminals to use the financial system, directly or indirectly, for their own ends, and it therefore deserves to be adopted with a minimum of delay.
Fordi det er så let at sende penge over grænserne, må der udvises stor omhu for at sikre sig, at der ikke findes sådanne
By ensuring this we shall be making a big contribution towards safeguarding the stability and credibility of the financial systems of the Community and also to the fight against the drugs trade.
