Det er i modstrid med holdningen i forslaget om kun at fastlægge forsigtighedsprincipper og overlade til med lemsstaterne selv at overføre disse principper til national lovgivning.
A lot of the issues were identified as desirable candidates for coordination at some point in the future, but desirable as they are they could not be justified so long as pension schemes remain fundamentally a national phenomenon.
Jeg forstår udmærket, at mange af disse ændringsforslag er inspireret af Maxwell-affæren.
I well understand that many of these amendments have been inspired by the Maxwell affair.
De spørgsmål, denne affære gav anledning til, drejer sig først og fremmest om svindel og medlemsstaternes kontrol med deres nationale lovgivning.
The issues raised by that affair are primarily concerned with fraud and the supervision in Member States of their national legislation.
Dog kan der også være en fællesskabsdimension.
Yet there may be a Community dimension too.
Vi undersøger for øjeblikket en klage over anvendelsen af 1980-direktivet om beskyttelse af arbejdstagerne i tilfælde af insolvens, og der kan være andet arbejde i relation til Maxwell-affæren, som det kan være passende, at vi udfører på fællesskabsplan.
We are currently investigating a complaint concerning the implementation of the 1980 directive on the protection of employees in the event of insolvency, and there may be other work relating to the Maxwell affair which it would be appropriate for us to undertake at a Community level.
I lyset af den alvorlige uro, Parlamentet har givet udtryk for, forpligter Kommissionen sig til at undersøge mulighederne og melde tilbage til Parlamentet.
In the light of the grave parliamentary concern which has been expressed, the Commission undertakes to study the options and to report back to Parliament.
Jeg ønsker ikke at vække falske forhåbninger her.
I do not want to raise false expectations here.
Vi planlægger ikke en harmonisering af socialsikringsordningerne i medlemsstaterne, men vi erkender den store vigtighed af de spørgsmål, Maxwellaffæren rejste, og vi skal melde tilbage, om der er en lære at drage på fællesskabsplan.
We are not planning to harmonize social protection systems in the Member States, but we acknowledge the great importance of the issues raised by the Maxwell case and we shall report on whether there are lessons to be drawn at Community level.
I særdeleshed vil vi se på nogle af de tanker, der ligger bag mange af de i dag stillede ændringsforslag.
In particular, we will look at some of the ideas which lie behind many of the amendments proposed today.
Men vi kan ikke udføre dette arbejde som et led i det foreliggende, begrænsede forslag.
But we cannot pursue that work in the context of the present limited proposal.
Vi foreslår i direktivet at begrænse medlemsstaternes mulighed for at pålægge uforholdsmæssige restriktioner, der ikke kan begrundes i forsigtighedshensyn.
Many of the amendments proposed today may well be appropriate at some point in the future when the crossborder aspects of pension arrangements require mutual recognition.
Men vi har ikke noget retligt grundlag for at søge at fratage medlemsstaterne retten til at pålægge nogen som helst restriktioner.
I am delighted that the proposal, limited as it is, has received broad support, and I am grateful to both Mr Janssen van Raay and Mr Zavvos for their work as rapporteurs.
Ændringsforslag nr. 18, der vil stryge de af Kommissionen foreslåede restriktioner med hensyn til, hvilken grad af kongruente valutaer der måtte kræves, ville isoleret betragtet få det urimelige resultat, at det satte de mest restriktive medlemsstater i stand til at forlange 100% kongruente valutaer, hvilket er i modstrid med princippet om fri kapitalbevægelighed.
I appreciate their encouraging support for our efforts. The Commission is tabling a consultation paper on the question of what might be done to improve the pension position of employees who are seconded for limited periods to do a job for the same employer but in another Member State and we shall much value Parliament's response to our ideas on this issue.
Så er der nogle ændringsforslag, hvis ånd Kommissionen kan acceptere, eller ikke acceptere blot fordi de gør direktivet mindre tydeligt.
Then there are some amendments which the Commission can accept in spirit or not accept only because they make the directive less clear.
De mål, som for eksempel ændringsforslagene nr. 8 og 10 sigter på, er allerede tilgodeset med det foreliggende forslag, og ånden i ændringsforslagene nr. 3, 12 og anden del af nr. 26, der forlanger, at investeringer skal foretages i modtagernes langsigtede eller velforståede interesse, er allerede — og bedre, mener vi — dækket af forslagets nuværende ordlyd om forsigtighedsreglen.
The objectives of Amendments Nos 8 and 10 for example are already ensured by the present proposal and the spirit of Amendments Nos 3, 12 and the second part of 26, which require that investments should be made in the long term or best interests of beneficiaries, are already — and we think better — covered by the proposal's present wording of the prudent man rule.
Ændringsforslag nr. 1 drejer sig om faglige organisationers pensionskasser. Kommissionens forslag drejer sig imidlertid ikke om ordninger, men om institutioner.
Amendment No 1 refers to professional pen sion schemes.
Ændringsforslag nr. 27 vil indføre begrebet »første grundpilles socialsikringsordninger«.
Amend ment No 27 would introduce the term "first pillar statutory social security bodies".
Jeg er bange for, at dette ikke er tilstrækkelig præcist til at komme med i lovgivningen.
I am afraid that is not sufficiently precise to be included in the legislation.
Lad mig til afslutning takke de relevante udvalg i Parlamentet for deres arbejde.
So we are considering how to proceed further in this field, but this is only the first step.
Mange af de nyttigste ideer, der er blevet fremsat, ligger, som jeg har sagt, uden for det foreliggende begrænsede forslags rækkevidde, men nyt tige er de ikke desto mindre.
It is in that general context that I would like to comment on the proposed amend ments. First, there are some which exceed the scope of the directive as I have just described it.
De vil hjælpe os i fremtiden, især hvis vi går i kast med en bredere lovgivning.
These amendments cover important issues relating to the design of pension schemes and to
Men der er to ændringsforslag i denne gruppe, der føjer noget nyt til forslagets indhold, og hvor vi kan acceptere ånden i det.
But there are two amendments in this group which add something new to the content of the proposal and which we can accept in spirit.
Ideen i ændringsforslag nr. 27 om at definere begrebet »pensionskasse« ved at henvise til en liste over socialsikringsordninger, der skulle udelukkes fra direktivet, kunne godt være en farbar vej, og vi vil tage det op.
The idea of amendment 27 to define the term "institution for retirement provision", with reference to a list of social security institutions to be excluded from this directive, could well be a workable approach and we are going to take it up.
En anden, meget nyttig tanke dækkes af første del af ændringsforslag nr. 13.
A second very useful idea is covered by the first part of Amendment No 13.
Den foreslåede begrænsning af egeninvesteringer skal nødvendigvis gælde ikke blot det pensionstegnende selskab, men også ethvert tilknyttet selskab.
The proposed limitation on self-investment needs to be applied not only to sponsoring undertaking themselves but also to any undertaking associated with them.
Sir Leon BRITTAN medlemmerne af Revisionsretten uden naturligvis at være hindret i til Revisionsretten at udnævne personer, der tidligere måtte have haft politisk ansvar, som ministre eller i Kommissionen eller i et parlament, være tale om, at kandidaten efter udnævnelsen til Revisionsretten ikke udøver noget politisk mandat eller noget som helst ansvar i et politisk parti.
BRITTAN, Sir Leon, Vice-President of the Commission. — There is a difference between restrictions on the free movement of capital, which we cannot impose, and rules about investment, which are not concerned with the free movement of capital but are concerned with the purposes of investment or something of that kind. So I do not think there would be a conflict of that kind.
— og det mener jeg er umagen værd — eller også går vi i kast med et helt andet projekt, som løber ind i alle problemerne med forholdet til socialsikringsordningerne osv. Jeg siger ikke, at det aldrig skal gøres.
Either one is doing something limited of this kind — which I think is worthwhile — or we embark on a completely different project which runs into all the problems of the relationship with the social security system and so on.
Vi prøvede vel ikke at gå så vidt, men dog et stykke videre, og det fremgik helt klart af vore høringer, at vi ville handle meget klogt, hvis vi begyndte med at gå så vidt som dette.
I am not saying that should never be done. We tried to go, not as far as that, but a little further and it was quite clear from our consultations that we would be doing very well if we started off by going as far as this.
Resten er en sag til diskussion og noget, der ligger ude i fremtiden.
The rest is a matter for discussion and for the future.
Udnævnelse af Revisionsrettens medlemmer
Amendments Nos 2, 5 and 17 would require pension funds to invest in the wider interests of the Community, for instance to stimulate growth and so on.
For det femte mener vi, at der også bør tages hensyn til et alderskriterium.
And they restrict investments outside the European Community to a maximum of 50%.
For eksempel finder vi det fornuftigt, at et medlems alder ved udløbet af første embedsperiode ikke overstiger 65 år eller 70 år ved anden embedsperiodes udløb.
Amendment No 11, which would require custodians to be entirely independent of sponsoring undertakings, is also one which I cannot accept because it would unnecessarily forbid current practice in several Member States which has not caused any problems.
Generelt set ville det være ukorrekt, om udnævnelse til Revisionsretten havde den virkning, at en person kunne slippe uden om den aldersgrænse, der gælder for udøvelsen af en lignende funktion i vedkommendes hjemland.
The amendment would, for instance, forbid a bank from acting as a custodian of the pension fund of its employees, requiring it instead to engage a competitor to undertake this service without any real value in that being done.
Under den samme overskrift mener vi heller ikke, at det er ønskeligt, at et medlem af Revisionsretten kan virke i denne institution i mere end to embedsperioder. sperioder.
That runs counter to the approach taken by this proposal to establish only prudential principles, leaving it to the Member States themselves to implement these principles in their national legislation.
A3-345/92) af Lamassoure for Budget kontroludvalget om proceduren for høring af Revisionsrettens medlemmer.
A3-345/92) by Mr Lamassoure on behalf of the Commit tee on Budgetary Control on the procedure for consulting the European Parliament on the appointment of members of the Court of Auditors.
LAMASSOURE (PPE), ordfører. — (FR) Fru formand, i henhold til artikel 206 i Rom-Traktaten udnævnes Revisionsrettens medlemmer af Rådet på forslag fra de nationale regeringer og efter høring af Parlamentet.
LAMASSOURE (PPE), rapporteur. — (FR) Madam President, under Article 2Ó6 of the Treaty of Rome, members of the Court of Auditors are appointed by the Council on nominations from the national governments and following consultation with Parliament.
Endelig mener vi, at Parlamentet foruden at vurdere kandidaternes individuelle fortrin bør tilgodese bevarelsen af en passende balance blandt Revisionsrettens med lemmer.
Amendment No 16a taken together with Amendment No 18 would prevent Member States from laying down prudential rules to ensure appropriate levels of diversification and currency matching, and again that presents difficulties.
Selv om Revisionsrettens nuværende sammen sætning er ganske heldig, for så vidt angår forskellene i dens medlemmers faglige oprindelse, kan for eksempel den manglende kvindelige repræsentation ikke retfærdig gøres.
We propose in the directive to limit the ability of Member States to impose disproportionate restrictions which cannot be justified on prudential grounds.
Endelig mener vi, at når først kriterierne er fastlagt, vil det være godt, at Parlamentet i plenum sørger for, at kandidaterne vælges med absolut flertal til medlemmer af Revisionsretten.
Modern investment theories suggest that specific ceilings of any kind may be counterproductive and Member States may be well advised to rely on prudent investment principles alone.
Fru formand, kære kolleger, hvis disse principper følges af Europa-Parlamentet, vil vi såvel med hensyn til proceduren som det saglige indhold kunne anvende dem ved den næste række af udnævnelser, der skal finde sted i plenum i december. Vi håber, at Rådet på sin side har opfattet budskabet.
Amendment No 18, which seeks to delete the Commission's proposed restrictions on the degree of currency matching which may be required, would, taken in isolation, have the perverse result of enabling the most restrictive Member States to continue to require 100% currency matching which is contrary to the principle of free movement of capital.
GOEDMAKERS (S). — (NL) Fru formand, som hr. Lamassoure allerede har sagt, vil vi i Europa-Parlamentet inden længe igen blive hørt om udnævnelsen af en række nye medlemmer af Revisionsretten.
In conclusion, let me thank the relevant committees of Parliament for their work.
Efter at det belgiske medlem er afgået ved døden og det italienske og det engelske medlem er fratrådt, har vi fået forelagt tre kandidaturer.
Following the death of the Belgian member and the resignation of the Italian and British members, we shall have three appointments to consider.
Det sidste hold udnævnelser for tre år siden gav imidlertid anledning til en ærgerlig konflikt med Rådet.
The last batch of nominations, three years ago, prompted an unfortunate dispute with the Council.
Det må derfor være på sin plads, at Parlamentet, inden det udtaler sig om personvalget, skaffer sig en doktrin, der er egnet til at lede dets skøn på en sådan måde, at kandidaterne, regeringerne og Rådet kan vide, hvad de har at holde sig til.
So before we pronounce in favour of one or other candidate it would seem a good idea for Parliament to have a guideline for assessing candidates so that candidates themselves, governments and the Council all know what our principles are.
Det er målet med denne af Budgetkontroludvalget vedtagne betænkning.
This is the purpose of the report which your Committee on Budgetary Control has adopted.
Traktaten kræver af Revisionsrettens medlemmer to fremtrædende egenskaber: kompetence og uafhængig hed.
The Treaty requires members of the Court to have two outstanding qualities: competence and independence.
Efter vor opfattelse skal Parlamentet udelukkende befatte sig med at kontrollere tilstedeværelsen af disse egenskaber hos de foreslåede kandidater.
In our view Parliament must be concerned purely to verify that nominees do in fact possess these two qualities.
For så vidt angår proceduren, synes vi, at der skal være tilstrækkelig tid til at høre kandidaterne, og vi skal have tid til derefter at sammenkalde til et møde, hvori Budget kontroludvalget kan udtale sin bedømmelse af denne høring og give sin vurdering af kandidaterne.
The Committee on Budgetary Control proposes firstly that Parliament should have more specific procedural rules allowing Parliament a reasonable amount of time to consider candidates and enabling them to be heard by the Commit tee on Budgetary Control.
For det andet skal de kandidater, der har udøvet offentlige funktioner i nationale eller fællesskabsadministrationer, forud have modtaget fuld kvittering eller decharge for deres udførelse af tidligere udøve de hverv.
FALCONER (S). — Madam President, the Commission er has indicated that he will not accept any maximum levels of investment or limitations on those levels.
For det tredje skal de, der har beskæftiget sig med administration i den offentlige eller private sektor, have et uplettet administrativt ry.
He also indicated that this was not the time to discuss this and that, possibly, something could be brought forward at a later date.
For det fjerde skal der, for at man kan sikre den politiske uafhængighed for

erfaring, og denne kan stamme fra både stillinger ved det offentlige, i erhvervslivet og inden for politik, er et uplettet ry naturligvis væsentligt.
The interviews should be held in public but the discussion in the Budget Control Commit tee should be in camera to guarantee confidentiality.
I betragtning af, at tidligere stillinger også kan være politiske, er det væsentligt at sige, at en aktiv involvering i politik ikke kan kombineres med medlemskabet af Revisionsretten.
We should ensure that the decision is then taken in the plenary by as large a majority as possible, if not unanimously, so that candidates can be given a kind of guarantee that they were not elected by a slim margin or just given a mere endorsement.
FORMANDEN. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (dok.
One: account must be taken of professional experience acquired at a high level either in the management of public finances or in management or management audit including, where appropriate, experience gained in a private company.
A3-334/92) af Lataillade for Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik om forslag fra Kommissionen til Rådet (KOM(92) 141 endel. — dok.
Two: candidates who have been active in a national or Community administration must first have been granted a discharge in respect of their previous management duties.
C3-217/92 — SYN 410) til direktiv om indbyrdes tilnærmelse af medlemsstaternes love og administrative bestemmelser om lystfartøjer.
Three: persons who have performed management duties in the public or private sectors must have an impeccable management record.
Vi har derfor også sagt, at vi vil have mennesker, som i en første embedsperiode ikke vil blive ældre end 65 og i en anden embedsperiode ikke ældre end 70.
That is why we specified that we are looking for people who will not be older than 65 in the first term of office and not older than 70 in the second term.
Det forekommer os at være rimeligt.
We think that reasonable.
For så vidt angår sammensætningen, finder vi det væsentligt, at der er en varieret sammensætning af Revisionsretten med en vis afspejling af forholdene i samfundet.
For example, we think it reasonable that members of the Court should not be aged over sixty five at the end of their first term of office, or seventy at the end of their second term.
Og det betyder derfor, at den nuværende situation fuldstændig uden kvinder ikke kan forsvares og ikke kan fortsætte således i fremtiden.
Generally speaking, appointment to the Court of Auditors ought not to mean that a person evades conformity with the age limits applicable to an equivalent job in his country of origin.
Vi finder det desuden ikke ønskværdigt, at man er medlem af Revisionsretten i mere end to perioder.
Still on this subject, we do not think it desirable that a member of the Court of Auditors should serve more than two terms in succession.
Jeg tror, at disse henstillinger er et godt grundlag for de kommende udtalelser, og at disse klare kriterier er vigtige for Rådet, for medlemsstaternes regeringer, men navnlig for de pågældende personer.
I think that these recommendations form a sensible basis for future opinions, that these clear criteria are important to the Council, governments of the Member States, and in particular for interested candidates.
Jeg vil gerne bede kommissær Brittan om til kommissær Bangemann at viderebringe vor tak, fordi han har gjort det muligt, at denne tekst blev behandlet, for sejlsportsindustrien har stort behov for den.
In addition to assessing the individual merits of candidates, we think Parliament should ensure that a sensible balance is maintained in the composition of the Court as a whole.
På europæisk plan skal vi give alle vore industridrivende de bedste chancer for på rimelige vilkår at konkurrere på de markeder, der åbner sig for dem. Det er derfor, dette direktiv som helhed kan accepteres og, som jeg sagde, hilses velkomment, idet det vil medføre langt færre hindringer på det indre marked.
For example, the present membership of the Court is quite felicitous in terms of the variety of the members' professional backgrounds, but there is no justification for the absence of any women amongst their number.
NIELSEN (LDR). — Fru formand, Den Liberale Gruppe glæder sig over, at der med hr. Lamassoures betænkning fra Budgetkontroludvalget nu er blevet opstillet virkelig klare kriterier for, hvad Europa-Parlamentet fremover vil have som udgangspunkt for høringer ved udnævnelse af Revisionsrettens medlemmer.
NIELSEN (LDR). — (DA) Madam President, the Liberal Group is pleased that with the Lamassoure report from the Committee on Budgetary Control genuinely clear criteria have now been drawn up which the European Parliament will be able to use in future as a basis of hearings for appointment of members of the Court of Auditors.
Belært af erfaringer ved vi, at vi må have helt klare kriterier, lige som det også er nødvendigt at præcisere, at Europa-Parlamentet skal have en rimelig frist til at afholde en høring med de personer, der kandiderer, dvs. indstilles af Rådet.
Experience has taught us that we must have absolutely clear criteria, and it must also be pointed out that the European Parliament should have a reasonable amount of time in which to hold a hearing with those persons who are applying for the posts or are recommended by the Council.
Om indholdet vil jeg gerne sige, at hovedhensynet i de ændringsforslag, der er blevet stillet i Økonomiudvalget, og som dette har tilsluttet sig, gælder sikkerheden. Et sikkerhedshensyn der i visse tilfælde kræver en mere afpudset tekst, for så vidt som en sikkerhedspolitik skal tilgodeses, uden at man derved urimeligt generer både byggeren.
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, if the European Parliament adopts these principles we can apply them straight away, both for procedure and substance, in the next series of appointments which will be coming before the December plenary.
Sådan har det desværre ikke altid været, og det er til skade for vore institutioner og for det gode samarbejde, der bør være.
Unfortunately this has not always been the case, and damage has been done to our institutions as well as to cooperation.
Det er derfor, det er vigtigt, at vi nu, hvor vi står over for nye høringer, får vedtaget disse helt klare kriterier og proceduren herfor.
It is therefore important that with new hearings about to be held, we get these clear criteria and the relevant procedures adopted.
Jeg tillader mig derfor at gøre opmærksom på, at det stillede ænringsforslag skal ændres, for hvis ikke ville det gøre direktivet latterligt. I øvrigt er ændringsforslagene nr. 21, 24, 25 og 32 ikke rent formelle, men indfører et nyt begreb.
Today's debate on the excellent report from the chairman of the Budgetary Control Committee, Mr Lamassoure, is on the criteria we think ought to be met by members of the Court of Auditors and the procedural requirements to be satisfied in order to give real substance to our right of advice.
Revisionsrettens arbejde er meget krævende, og derfor stiller vi også store krav til det faglige niveau.
The work of the Court of Auditors is very exacting, and we therefore expect a high degree of competence.
Vi stiller store krav til personen som sådan og til det arbejde, vedkommende hidtil har udført.
We attach great importance to the quality of candidates and of the work they have carried out hitherto.
I udvalget har vi med stor lidenskab diskuteret, om et kommende medlem af Revisionsretten må have eller have haft politisk aktivitet.
In the committee we had a lively debate about whether prospective members of the court may engage, or have engaged, in political activity.
