C3-1/91 — SYN 293) til direktiv om samordning af fremgangsmåderne ved indgåelse af offentlige tjenesteydelseskontrakter. seskontrakter.
We must now protect ourselves against lack of respect and lack of impetus on the part of the Commission.
Endelig har vi jo med tanken om en europæisk infrastruktur først i de sidste to år føjet endnu en tanke til, som faktisk vil oprette det indre marked. Vi har med de tekniske bestemmelser skabt den juridiske ramme, har med afgiftsharmoniseringen og afskaffelsen af grænsekontrollen fået de instrumenter, vi har brug for.
VECCHI (GUE). — (IT) Mr President, the oral question by Mr Galle in fact repeats and re-poses a question which, although it has on several occasions been very openly debated in our Parliament in the past, remains unresolved and a source of problems.
Jeg tror således allerede, at denne idé hidtil har stået sin prøve.
It dates back, in fact, to the time when the European Parliament was not yet elected by direct universal suffrage but appointed by the Member States' parliaments.
Det, min forgænger inden for dette ansvarsområde, Lord Cockfield, fremlagde i denne hvidbog, var en arkitektur, som bestemt ikke havde planlagt hvert enkelt rum og hver trappe endnu, men som alligevel som samlet plan var overbevisende og som vi udmærket har kunnet arbejde med.
Even if it was logical at that time, in relation to the rules on immunity, to refer to national legislations, now that for the past twelve years we have had a Parliament directly elected by the people of Europe with a role and function that have become stronger and will be further strengthened, it is urgently necessary to move towards a new case law, of a Community character, in order to standardize the procedures, guarantees and rights and, if I may say so, the limits to immunity fot all Membets of the European Parliament.
De Donnea (LDR), ordfører. — (FR) Hr. formand, forslaget til direktiv om offentlige tjenesteydelseskontrakter indgår som et væsentligt aspekt i Hvid bogen om Gennemførelsen af Det Indre Marked.
If the other Community institutions adhere to their present position and pass the buck on the question of inactivity — and here I am grateful to the Commission for the little that has been done, but perhaps more pressure could be exerted — and if the Council continues to reject the idea, then I must point out that there are limits to our toletance.
Det opstiller en EF-ramme for de statslige, regionale og lokale myndigheders indkøb af tjenesteydelser.
But we expect the same of the other Community institutions, namely the Council.
Det supplerer den allerede indførte ordning for offentlige bygge- og anlægsarbejder.
I do not want to dramatize the situation, but it could become more acute, and I just want to warn you of that today.
Dette direktiv vedrører ikke alene de tusindvis af ordregivende myndigheder i Fællesskabet, men vil ligeledes få stor betydning for en bred vifte af leverandører af tjene steydelser, herunder et stort antal selvstændige og små og mellemstore virksomheder. Direktivet omfatter såvel intellektuelle tjenesteydelser, som f.eks. revision, rådgivende ingeniørvirksomhed og arkitektvirksomhed, som fysiske tjenesteydelser, som f.eks. rengøring, transport, telekommunikation, vand- og elforsyning.
We as a Parliament call for observance of the principle of equal treatment for ourselves.
De ordregivende myndigheders indkøb af tjenesteydelser er betydeligt og tegner sig for omkring 20% af værdien af alle offentlige indkøb.
As we have said several times, the basic purpose of immunity must be to guarantee the independence and sound running of our Parliamentary Institution, which includes proper protection of its Members from attempts to take legal action against them for purely political motives.
Liberaliseringen af markederne for tjeneste ydelser giver mulighed for økonomiske fordele, der hvor der er fri prisdannelse og mulighed for stor driftsfordele.
But if we agree on this concept, it is clear that we can no longer accept the serious disparities between Members, depending on their country of origin, as regards the procedures, limits and even the very existence of the concept of parliamentary immunity.
Den vil især føre til større mobilitet og dermed større dynamik i alle de pågældende sektorer. De Økonomiske og kvalitative fordele vil styrke EF's position på verdensmarkedet for tjenesteydelser.
So it is right for the European Parliament to ask, through this latest resolution, the Membet States to amend the protocol and to create Community rules on parliamentary immunity.
Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik finder, at Kommissionens forslag generelt opfylder kravene til en sund liberalisering af de offentlige markeder for tjenesteydelser, og at de derfor kan godkendes.
WIJSENBEEK (LDR). — (FR) Mr President, I must start by congratulating the Council on an excellent reply, given in the customary Community spirit that we have always been able to rely on from Luxembourg.
Hr. von Wogau og hr. Rogalla gjorde med rette opmærksom på, at flertalsbeslutninger var et helt afgørende vendepunkt i forbindelse med oprettelsen af det indre marked. Det er et eksempel for al anden politik.
It is a sorry state of affairs, Mr President, when the Council admits that it is not prepared to do anything at all about a violation of the treaties, that it has done nothing and has no intention of doing anything.
Der kan kun som en overgang blive tale om enstemmige beslutninger. Det gælder for alle områder inden for politik.
It is unacceptable for the President of the Council to be telling us, more or less, 'we are not bothered what Article 7 of the Treaty says about discrimination on grounds of nationality'.
Jeg siger det også på baggrund af debatten om en Politisk Union, hvor der jo for visse områder inden for politik tales om nødvendig heden af enstemmighed.
Let me add two further comments, addressed mainly to my colleagues, which I think must accompany our request.
Som overgangsperiode kan man altid acceptere det, dersom alle er klar over, at det egentlige bevis på Fællesskabets kohærens og kohæsion, på dets fremskridt i integration er spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt hver især kan acceptere en flertalsbeslutning.
The first is that after examining the requests for waiving parliamentary immunity that we receive from the Member States' authorities, we can see that the majority of cases relate to offences involving assertions made by our colleagues which, according to most national legislations, could give rise to criminal proceedings.
Kan hver især acceptere et princip, som ethvert politisk fællesskab lever af, at man nemlig har tillid til, at solidariteten kan bære, så at ingen marginaliseres? Netop det er det princip, vi har virkeliggjort i medlemslandene og som vi skal
The European Parliament has shown itself almost without exception consistent in rejecting such requests for a waiver as unacceptable attempts to restrict the fundamental right to freedom of expression ; but if this is true for the Members of this Chamber it should be even more true for all the other citizens of the
69 ændringer, der hovedsagelig sigter mod de fire følgende mål.
Community.
Øget genneskuelighed i teksten og afklaring af såvel direktivets anvendelsesområde som en række bestemmelser, hvis uforståelige affattelse vil give anledning til fortolkningsproblemer for mange leverandører af tjenesteydelser, navnlig små og mellemstore virksomheder og selvstændige, som ikke har juridiske tjenester, der er vant til at læse EF-direktiver om offentlige kontrakter.
That is where the European Parliament could exert its influence, using the appropriate instruments, in order to actively encourage the Member States to amend some of their rules.
For det andet udeladelse eller tilpasning af bestemmelser, som åbner mulighed for omgåelse af direktivet.
definition and in accordance with practice, the Treaty of Rome, and our Rules of Practice rest with the Court of Justice and national courts.
For det tredje fastsættelse af tærskler i direktivet, som er helt utvetydige og lette at beregne især for tjeneste ydelseskontrakter om projektering af et arbejde og for koncessionskontrakter om offentlige tjeneste ydelser.
Any othet interpretation would be tantamount to an infringement of the Treaty, putting our Parliament at the mercy of dangerous retrogade steps and political chicanery.
For det fjerde at undgå unødigt at øge den administrative byrde for de pågældende ordregivende myndigheder og ansøgere og bydende.
My second comment concerns the fact that in some countries public opinion rightly and carefully notifies any cases of abuse of parliamentary immunity, for if this immunity applied without restrictions, it would be transformed from a guarantee of independence into a caste privilege with no certainty of impunity.
rer til fordel for virksomheder i bestemte regioner, for så vidt som disse procedurer er forenelige med Traktaten.
ROGALLA (S). — (DE) Mr President, I think every thing has been said that needs to be said on the material question.
Siden 1957 har sådanne ordninger været tilladte i fire lande.
I was surprised by the statement by the President of the Council, who has rejected any competence here on the part of the Council, and note that I am saying on part of the Council.
Imidlertid besluttede Kommissionen i 1989 at indlede overtrædelsesprocedurer mod disse fire lande, og den har indledt drøftelser om at afskaffe disse ordninger fra den 31. december 1992.
If the Council is not competent here, the Commission cannot formally make any proposal either.
I øvrigt har Domstolen den 20. marts 1990 i forbindelse med præjudicielle spørgsmål fra en italiensk administrativ domstol (dom C 21-88, du Pont de Nemours) for første gang erklæret en præferenceordning (den italienske) uforenelig med Traktatens artikel 30.
That is why I ask the Commission to make use of its powet to put together the ideas put forward as early as 1984, in that friendly and interinstitutional spirit that has been mentioned, and to approach the Member States, for it is the Member States that must take action here.
Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik foreslår derfor at lade artikel 35, der er i modstrid med Domstolens retspraksis, udgå, så meget mere som denne artikel kun vil være gældende til den 31. december 1992, og at det er meget lidt sandsynligt, at dette direktiv træder i kraft før denne dato.
If the Member States have to act, they usually do so in the framework of the Council, or at least on the occasion of Council meetings — according to current practice.
Jeg skal her begrænse mig til at forelægge de vigtig ste forslag fra Udvalget om Økonomi, Valuta spørgsmål og Industripolitik.
To be more precise, the activities of Membets of the European Parliament, within the strict framework of our political duties, should be protected and safeguarded uniformly.
For de resterende for slags vedkommende henviser jeg til den foreliggende betænkning.
That goes without saying — but watch out! In no way must the whole of our protection set-up be open to abuse or be overdone.
Artikel 38 pålægger medlemsstaterne hvert år at fremsende en statistisk opgørelse over de kontrakter, der ligger under de i artikel 8 omhandlede tærskelbeløb, det vil hovedsagelig sige 200 000 ECU.
By no means should it lead to the impunity of members who, under the pretext of their erstwhile political activity, transgress common law or their country's constitution.
Dette krav vil føre til et utroligt bureaukrati, eftersom medlemsstaterne i så fald skulle kunne udarbejde en statistisk opgørelse på grundlag af de allermindste tjenesteydelseskontrakter.
Nor should someone be put above the law regarding acts committed when not an MEP.
Det ville efter min mening være mere hensigtsmæssigt at kræve en statistisk opgørelse over de kontrakter, der ligger over de tærskelbeløb, der er omhandlet i artikel 8.
Moreover, in accordance with internal parliamentaty practice, the institution of parliamentary immunity should merely protect the personal and functional independence of parliamentarians in the exercise of their duties.
Sådanne opgørelser vil være så meget desto mere nyttige, som man ikke behøver at vente på, at medlemsstaterne fuldt ud anvender artikel 18 (forpligtelse til senere at indsende oplysninger).
Finally, Mr President, the European Parliament does not only have a duty to protect its Members, but it also has the obligation to uphold the rule of law in Member States, bringing outstanding cases to justice.
Ændringsforslag nr. 56 sigter derfor mod at pålægge de ordegivende myndigheder mere realistiske forpligtelser, hvad angår statistiske oplysninger.
Only if both Parliament's duties are carried out fairly, impartially and without ideological interferences can our decisions on waiving immunity be given legal validity and political credibility. ibility.
Jeg henleder indledningsvis opmærksomheden på ændringsforslag nr. 15, 18, 19, 20 og 21, der sigter mod at præcisere spillereglerne for koncessionskontrakter.
That is why I want to confine myself to suggesting as a practical solution that wc adopt the present resolution.
Denne værdi defineres som koncessionsindehaverens omsætning i forbindelse med den pågældende kontrakt.
I would then ask the President of the Council to do us the kindness to forward this resolution, assuming of course that it is adopted, to the Member States.
Ændringsforslag nr. 24 forenkler i høj grad artikel 8 i forslaget, der fastsætter de tærskelbeløb for minimumskontraktværdien, for hvilke direktivet finder anvendelse.
I am not going so far as to expect it to act as postman, but I would like it to become a kind of messenger of the gods, a kind of Hermes.
Vi foreslår, at tærskelbeløbet er ens for samtlige kategorier af tjenesteydelser.
Hermes has a very high standing in the world of legend and I would be most gtateful to the President of the Council if he could confirm that he will take on this task and this role, so that we can resolve the question.
Hermed har jeg kommenteret de vigtigste ændringsforslag fra Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik, hr. formand.
So it is a question of the President of the Council acquainting the Member States with the question and forwarding the European Parliament's resolution to them in order to remove the weaknesses inherent in the present situation.
Hvad de resterende angår, henviser jeg som nævnt til selve betænkningen. gen.
I would be very grateful, Mr President of the Council, if you could confirm that you will do us the kindness of acting as messenger of the gods.
I stk. 3 hedder det således, at bestemmelserne i stk. 2 ikke berører nationale regler, hvori der fastsættes betingelser for udførelsen af bestemte aktiviteter af juridiske personer, der er underlagt de pågældende medlemsstaters lovgivning.
The fact remains, ladies and gentlemen, that when we establish a common system of parliamentary immunities in the European Parliament, which is apparently the wish of the majority, we shall necessarily create inequality between MEPs and national MPs.
Ændringsforslag nr. 40 tilsigter fra artikel 23 at fjerne enhver mulighed for forskelsbehandling mel lem fysiske og juridiske personer.
But that should not, in my view, dissuade us from pursuing this course.
Tænk blot på kommunale myndigheder, undervisningsinstitutioner og forskellige små koncessionsindehavere inden for det offentlige.
The existing Article 10 of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities which refers the matter to national legislation, creates imbalances.
Af den grund foreslår jeg at forkaste samtlige disse ændringsforslag, hvis målsætninger absolut bør opfyldes, men inden for rammerne af andre direktiver. ver.
It also, above all, tuns the risk of turning the Committee on the Rules of Procedure, the Verification of Credentials and Immunities into a court of law which would try unsuccessfully to interpret the provisions of national and Community legislation. Competences which by
Artikel 35 giver mulighed for tildeling af offentlige kontrakter efter regionale præferencer, dvs. procedu
However, I should have been happier if our Parliament had also set an example of greater consistency with the criteria it set earlier.
De Donnea offentlige kontrakter, så de måske fortsætter med at forurene og spolere miljøet.
GOLLNISCH prosecutors in France, who come under the Garde des Sceaux, who is also Minister of Justice.
Hr. formand, konkluderende vil jeg sige, at Kom missionens tekst som ændret af Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik udgør en sammenhængende og gennemskuelig helhed, for så vidt angår de fællesskabsbestemmelser, der bør bringes i anvendelse for offentlige tjenesteydelseskontrakter i forbindelse med virkeliggørelsen af det store marked i 1993.
Wein the Group of the European Right have seen considerable misuse made of the system against our Chairman, Mr Jean-Marie Le Pen, although Parliament has at last put an end to this, since it has recently rejected the French authorities' requests, having at first acquiesced in them.
Sammenfattende er disse forslag et led i de generelle bestræbelser, der gøres fra EF's side for at sørge for, at der sker en udbygning af den sociale og arbejds miljømæssige sikring, så at bl.a. social dumping ikke kan finde sted.
I should have been happier if, in dealing with these first cases, Parliament had kept to its earlier criteria, as formulated by Mr Donnez.
At lige behandling af mænd og kvinder er medtaget, er måske nok utraditionelt, men det er en naturlig konsekvens af de handlingsplaner, der er vedtaget. Nu må det vise sig, om der er vilje bag de pæne hensigtserklæringer, som vi har fremsat her i Parlamentet.
I admit to being extremely sceptical about the changed criteria, particularly if they were to lead to a decision — whether by Parliament itself or by the other Community institutions, in a revision of the Protocol or the immunities — to the effect that parliamentary freedom of expression is protected by immunity, except in the case of incitement to hatred.
Blak (S), ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Borgernes Rettigheder. — Hr. formand, jeg har lyst til at kommentere et par af ændringsforslagene, nemlig nr. 79, 82, 83 og 84.
GALLE (S). — (NL) Mr President, I should like in the first place to thank the Council, the Commission, and all those who have participated in this debate for their contributions.
Ændringsforslag nr. 79 er vigtigt, fordi det opfordrer alle de medlemsstater, der endnu ikke har gjort det, til at ratificere ILO-konvention nr. 94.
I shall not refer again to things that have already been said and which seemed entirely pertinent to the question.
Den handler om at sikre tilstrækkeligt gode arbejdsmiljøvilkår.
I should also like to thank the President of the Council for his willingness to pass on this wish of the European Parliament to the Member States.
Da de fleste af de tolv lande allerede har ratificeret konventionen, burde det være en selvfølge, at de resterende lande snart følger trop.
Nevertheless, I wish to comment briefly on the motion for a resolution that the Committee on the Rules of Procedure, the Verification of Credentials and Immunities will be submitting for your approval, for, as I said in my introduction, its purpose is to facilitate our future work, pending the revision of the protocol on the privileges and the immunities of Members.
Tongue (S). — (EN) Hr. formand, dette kommissionsforslag er et hovedpunkt i gennemførelsen af programmet for enhedsmarkedet.
For that reason, the essence of our request is confined to the official intimation of the most important information concerning the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity by the national authorities.
Det gør markedet for offentlige tjenesteydelser tilgængeligt for europæiske bud, formentlig til gavn for økonomi, effektivitet og serviceniveau.
Informally, we do already have this information, but, by requesting the Member States to send us this information officially, we wish to acquire the certainty that we can place the fullest confidence in the procedures connected with this information.
Det er klart for os, at direktivet ikke tvinger de offentlige myndigheder, f.eks. i Det Forenede Kongerige, til at udbyde tjenesteydelser, som ikke for øjeblikket udbydes.
Also, this official transmission of inform ation is intended to give the national authorities the opportunity to check whether their procedure is in line with the protocol on the privileges and immunities of Members of the European Parliament and to reflect on the difficulties that may result from applying their procedure to the European Parliament.
I mit land bliver et stort antal tjenesteydelser imidlertid allerede udbudt, ofte imod den pågældende lokale myndigheds ønsker, på grund af de bestemmelser, vi har om obligatorisk udbud.
POOS, President-in-Office of the Council. — (FR) Mr President, I have listened with interest to the debate that has just taken place.
Derfor får bestemmelserne i dette direktiv — bør De vide, hr. kommissær — en meget større virkning i Det Forenede Kongerige end måske andre steder.
Let me repeat that this is not a new problem. It came before the European Parliament in 1984 and 1987, and it has now cropped up again in 1991.
Over en million offentlige ansattes arbejdspladser kan sagtens blive ramt.
I therefore fail to understand the procès d'intention that Mr Wijsenbeek is conducting against the Luxembourg Presidency.
Ændringsforslag nr. 82 handler om, at den ordregivende myndighed ikke blot skal oplyse om, hvor ansøgerne kan få information om gældende forpligtelser vedrørende tryghed i ansættelsen og arbejds forhold i det område, hvor arbejdet skal udføres.
I would also propose, ladies and gentlemen, that, through Amendment No 2, we add the wish that we be kept informed of the action taken subsequent to our decision to waive parliamentary immunity.
Forslaget indeholder også en forpligtelse til specifikt at angive, hvilke forpligtelser der gælder på det arbejdsretlige og arbejdsmiljømæssige område, her under lønaftaler og aftaler om sundhed og sikker hedsforhold. Derfor skal tilbudsgiveren også i sit tilbud angive, at der ved prisfastsættelsen er taget højde for de udgifter, dette måtte påføre arbejdsgiveren.
It is obviously not our intention to subject the activities of the national judiciaries to our control, but simply to be better able to survey the consequences of our decisions in the labyrinth of national legal systems, particularly in the cases that at present occur most frequently, namely cases where a single Member is the subject of several requests for waiver of parliamentary immunity at the same time.
På den måde undgås det, at et billigt tilbud accepteres, et tilbud, som måske ikke kan holde, når det viser sig, hvilke økonomiske forpligtelser arbejdsgiveren faktisk skal opfylde.
Finally, I would ask your attention fot Amendment No 1, which does not depart from the spirit of the original motion for a resolution but simply puts it more suitably into words.
Vi kan tilslutte os princippet om ikke-diskriminering af bydende fra andre regioner eller lande, men i subsidiaritetens interesse mener vi, at direktivet skal erkende de offentlige myndigheders ret til at udarbejde specifikationer og kontraktvilkår ud fra hen synet til forbrugeren og brugeren af tjenesteydelsen, leverandøren af tjenesteydelsen og myndighedernes egen effektivitet. De offentlige myndigheder skal have mulighed for at vurdere leverandørernes evne til at udføre arbejdet ordentligt.
The Luxembourg Presidency has merely reported to the House on the mood in the Council, and I would remind you that in 1987 Mr Tindemans, a Liberal minister, then President-in-Office, an excellent colleague who has since joined you in this House, wrote on the same subject to Lord Plumb, President of the European Parliament, saying that although the matter was now under consideration by the Council, the presidency was of the opinion, in the light of initial exchanges of views, that the great complexity of the problems involved and their political sensitivity in several Member States left no prospect of significant progress in the foreseeable future.
