hvoraf det klart fremgår, at direktivet ikke foregriber medlemsstaternes forpligtelser som følge af internationale aftaler, navnlig TRIPS-aftalen og konventionen om biologisk mangfoldighed.
Monti, Member of the Commission. - (IT) Mr van Putten, I can refer in particular to Article 1, paragraph 2, of the di rective where it states, 'This directive shall be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States pursuant to international agreements, and in particular the Con vention on Biological Diversity and the TRIPs Agree ment' .
Jeg tror, at dette er den definitive referencetekst, og at der ikke er grund til at sige mere fra min side.
I believe that, setting aside my opinions, this is the definitive textual reference.
Andet bankdirektiv
Second banking directive
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0152/98) af Wijsenbeek for Udvalget om Ret lige Anliggender og Borgernes Rettigheder om Kommissionens fortolkningsmeddelelse (SEK(97)1193 - C40465/97) om fri udveksling af tjenesteydelser og om be grebet »samfundsmæssige interesser« i andet bankdirektiv. tiv.
Graefe zu Baringdorf (V). - (DE) Madam President, I am speaking now to express my view that Mr Cot needs to show proper respect for his colleagues in his dealings with them: for example, he voices the suspicion that we are not capable of reading the text because it is identical with the amendments which the Parliament introduced.
Det første spørgsmål bør efter min mening egentlig slet ikke stilles.
It is one thing to say that it is the same in substance - which one might argue about - but it is another thing to claim that the text is the same.
Hvorfor er det egentlig nødvendigt, at kreditinstitutter, inden de etablerer sig i en anden medlemsstat, skulle underkastes en notifikationsprocedure?
In any case, I am not saying that you have been bought by the gene technology industry.
Hvis en bank i sit eget land underkastes et strengt tilsyn fra centralbankens side og vil begynde at levere tjenesteydelser andre steder i Unionen, kan myndighederne i en anden med lemsstat da have tillid til, at dette er sket omhyggeligt, og at kunderne i andre medlemsstater således også er beskyttet mod manglende solvens, likviditet og andre krav.
President. - The next item is the report (A4-0152/98) by Mr Wijsenbeek, on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, on the Commission's interpretative communication on freedom to provide services and the interest of the general good in the second banking di rective (SEC(97)1 ¡93 - C4-0465/97).
Er tilsynet med kreditinstitutter og med deres til synsførende, det vil sige de nationale centralbanker, efter indførelsen af euroen, idet man kan antage, at bankernes lyst til at sprede deres tjenesteydelser over hele Unionen vil tiltage, ikke samtidig centraliseret?
The second thing is that the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development cannot introduce any amend ments in this procedure nor can it introduce them in the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, be cause that can be done only by individual Members with the appropriate number of signatures, namely 29. The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development has
Wijsenbeek (ELDR), ordfører. - (NL) Fru formand, vi må være Kommissionen taknemmelige for, at den har indset, at der ikke er kommet ret meget ud af den oprindelige hensigt med det andet bankdirektiv, fremme af de grænseoverskridende banktjenesteydelser.
Wijsenbeek (ELDR), rapporteur. - (NL) Madam President, we must be grateful to the Commission that it has re alized that not much has come of the original intention of the second banking directive to promote cross-border banking services. We must also be grateful to the Com mission that it wished to consult Parliament on the docu-
Vi må ligeledes være Kommissionen taknemmelige for, at den har vil let høre Parlamentet om det foreliggende dokument, selvom den ikke var forpligtet til dette.
Wijsenbeek their services throughout the Union, not also mean that the supervision of credit institutions and of their supervisory authorities, that is the national central banks, will be centralized?
Alligevel, og det havde De sandsynligvis forventet af mig, fordi jeg følger Kommissionens gøren og laden med en positiv indstilling, men dog med argusøjne, har jeg en bemærkning om formen, nemlig meddelelsen.
ment before us, even though it was not obliged to do so. Still, and you would probably have expected this from me because I follow the comings and goings of the Commission with a positive attitude but still with 'Argus eyes', I have something to say about the form, namely the com munication.
De ser, at medens hensigten med meddelelsen var at give svar på spørgsmål, kunne man sige, at den snarere rejser flere spørgsmål.
You see, while the communication was intended to re solve certain questions, you could say it has raised more questions than it has answered.
Jeg håber, at Kommissionen vil komme ind på disse spørgsmål; og jeg takker mine kolleger, som alle har medvirket til denne betænkning, som efter min mening bringer et frit indre marked nærmere.
I hope that the Commission will look into these questions and I would like to thank all my colleagues who worked with me on this re port which, in my opinion, brings a free internal market closer.
Peijs (PPE), ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik. - (NL) Fru formand, måske må jeg have lov at minde ordføreren om banken Crédit Lyonnais, der brugte sin filial i Nederlandene til at gøre ting, som det var bedre, at hovedkontoret ikke vidste.
Peijs (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy. - (NL) Madam President, may I remind the rapporteur of the Crédit Lyonnais bank which used its branch in the Netherlands to do things which it preferred its head office not to know about.
Hvor meget nærmere præcisering end er ønskeligt, er der i virkeligheden stadig for meget, der lades åbent, fordi det jo i slutningen af meddelelsen siges, at den fremsatte meddelelse, der er udarbejdet i anledning af en dom fra Domstolen, i sidste instans kun kan vurderes definitivt og pålideligt af Domstolen selv.
No matter how desirable it would be to have more precise detail, in fact too much is still being left open because there is a statement at the end of the communication to the effect that the communication, which was drawn up in re sponse to a judgment of the Court of Justice, can ultimately only be finally and conclusively judged by the Court of Justice.
Selvom Parlamentet som in stitution vil være den sidste til blot i nogen grad at ville underminere underkastelsen af lovgivningens udform ning for dommerens vurdering, holdes brugerne af loven, nemlig medlemsstaternes pengeinstitutter, som vil udøve deres aktiviteter i de andre medlemsstater, hvormed de vil og kan gøre det indre marked og konkurrencen troværdig, stadig i uvished.
Although Parliament as an institution would be the last body to want to undermine the subjection of the effect of legislation to the judgment of the courts, those who use the law, that is the banking institutions of the Member States which wish to operate in other Member States, and in so doing wish and are able to make the internal market and competition credible, are still left in uncertainty.
Denne betænkning kommer ind på lovgivning for kreditinstitutter, som er aktive i Den Europæiske Unions med lemsstater.
This report examines the regulations for credit institutions which are operating in the Member States of the European Union.
Det andet bankdirektiv fra 1989 skal sørge for, at reglerne i de forskellige medlemsstater passer til hinanden med henblik på at garantere etableringsfrihed og fri hed til at levere finansielle tjenesteydelser.
The second banking directive from 1989 is re quired to ensure that the regulations in the different Mem ber States are harmonized to guarantee freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide financial services.
Det er vigtigt.
That is an important matter.
Det indre marked for finansielle tjenesteydelser vil efter euroens indførelse og udbredelsen af informations-og kommunikationsteknologien kun blive udvidet.
The internal market in financial services will only increase with the coming of the euro and the expansion of information and communication technology.
Jeg ville derfor sætte pris på, at kommissæren endnu en gang ville gøre det klart for os, hvorfor man har grebet til dette instrument, nemlig en meddelelse, og ikke til et nyt eller ændret direktiv, som jo har lovkraft og således ikke mere er underkastet tvivl og usikkerhed.
When is a service being provided to a client who does not live in the country where the bank was first established, but who is introduced by or from the head office, whether or not with the aid of electronic communications? The second question is important because it can influence a dispute at law to a large extent.
Den største usikkerhed skabes af to ting.
It is best for the client and cheapest, of course, if any legal procedure takes place in his own country.
Hvad er en tyde lig definition af den almene interesse, på grundlag af hvilken medlemsstaterne kan forhindre etableringen af et pengeinstitut fra en anden medlemsstat?
Looked at the other way round, it is important to the banking institution that it does not find itself in a disadvantaged position and it is better, therefore, if it can also formally have a branch in the same country as the client.
Banker skal holde de tilsynsførende instanser i de medlemsstater, hvor bankerne bliver aktive, orienteret om grænseoverskridende aktiviteter.
Banks have to inform the supervisory authorities of the Member States in which they are operating of any cross-border operations.
Hvornår dette skal ske, har ikke altid været tydeligt. Meddelelsen opklarer dette på en række punkter.
It was not always clear when they had to do this.
I betænkningen synes jeg, at det for let siges, at »SLIM«-projektet skulle gøre denne meddelelse overflødig. Ikke alle medlemsstater var
I think it was too easy to say in the report that the SLIM project would render this communication superfluous.
Der er således ingen forskel i behandlingen mellem disse to, måske en lille bemærkning fra et medlem af Økonomiudvalget til en jurist.
Peijs perhaps just a small observation from a member of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and In dustrial Policy to a lawyer.
Alligevel - og her er jeg enig med de foregående talere, hr. Rothley og hr. Wijsenbeek - kan den valgte frem gangsmåde med en meddelelse kun opfattes som et an vendeligt instrument, når to betingelser er opfyldt.
However - and here I agree with those who have spoken before me, Mr Rothley and Mr Wijsenbeek - the chosen route of a communication may be regarded as a suitable instrument only if two conditions are fulfilled.
Med delelsen kan og må ikke udhule eller omgå den demokratiske lovgivningsprocedure - her helt entydigt proceduren med fælles beslutningstagning - hvor Rådet og Parlamentet er ligeberettigede lovgivere, og desuden skal den være omfattet af det udtrykkelige forbehold for yderligere af gørelser fra De Europæiske Fællesskabers Domstol.
The com munication cannot and must not undermine or circumvent the democratic legislative process -clearly the codecision procedure in this case - in which the Council and the Par liament are legislators with equal rights, and it must in ad dition be subject to the express proviso of any further judgement by the European Court of Justice.
Fru formand, jeg undskylder over for Dem, kommissæren og ordføreren, at jeg deltog i mødet i Udvalget om Økonomi, Valutaspørgsmål og Industripolitik om høringen med direktionsmedlemmerne af Den Europæiske Central bank.
Madam President, I would like to apologize to you, the Commissioner and the rapporteur, because I was attend ing the public hearing of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy with members of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank.
Tag mig det ikke ilde op, at jeg ikke kunne være til stede under hele behandlingen af betænkningen.
Please accept my apologies that I was unable to attend the whole debate on the report.
Under disse forudsætninger anser jeg dog Kommissionens meddelelse for at være en praksisorienteret foran staltning, der absolut kan være til hjælp.
Given these preconditions, I nonetheless consider the Commission's communication to be a practically focused measure which may be extremely helpful.
Nu, hvor vi står over for starten på Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union, kan man efter alle eksperters bedømmelse regne med et tydeligt opsving i de grænsesoverskridende tjenesteydelser i banksektoren, således at vi hurtigt får brug for klar hed.
With the imminent start of monetary union, all the experts anticipate that there will be a significant increase in cross-border serv ices in the banking sector, so we need clarity quickly.
Rothley (PSE). - (DE) Fru formand, min gruppe vil stemme for Wijsenbeek-betænkningen.
Rothley (PSE). - (DE) Madam President, the Group of the Party of European Socialists will agree with the substance of the Wijsenbeek report.
Jeg vil gerne tale om det institutionelle aspekt ved dette problem.
I should like to comment on the institutional aspect of this problem.
Jeg mener ikke, at Kommissionen har kompetence til at give of fentligheden meddelelser om fortolkningen af retsakter.
I do not believe that the Commission is competent to place communications on the interpretation of legal documents in the public domain.
Hverken Europa-Parlamentet eller Rådet - altså de to lov givere i Den Europæiske Union - udtaler sig om fortolkningen af en retsakt, som de har vedtaget, over for De Europæiske Fællesskabers Domstol.
Neither the European Parliament nor the Council - in other words, the two legislators in the European Community - expresses views before the European Court of Justice on the interpretation of a legal document which they have enacted.
Så meget mindre har Kommissionen beføjelse til at ytre sig om fortolkningen af retsakter, som Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet har vedtaget.
The Commission has still less authority to express views on the interpretation of legal documents which the European Parliament and the Council have en acted.
Det falder ikke under Kommissionens kompetence område.
In this area there is no competence attaching to the Commission.
Derfor er sådanne meddelelser, såfremt de, hvilket jo er hensigten, skal fremkalde retsvirkninger, retsstridige. dige.
That is why such communications, insofar as they are intended to expound legal effects, which is in deed the intention, are unlawful.
Den primære fortjeneste består efter min mening i meddelelsens systematiske fremstilling af De Europæiske Fællesskabers Domstols hidtidige omfattende afgørelser in den for den frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser og klausulen om de »samfundsmæssige interesser« i andet bankdirektiv.
In my view, the main merit is that the communication gives a systematic presentation of the extensive judge ments which have already been given by the ECJ in the area of the free movement of services and the general in terest clause in the second banking directive.
Meddelelsen giver dermed frem for alt større gennemskuelighed og bedre informationer.
It thus mainly serves the cause of greater transparency and greater information.
Jeg vil gerne komme ind på et konkret punkt, punktet om elektronisk behandling.
I should like to deal with one con crete point, the question of the electronic counter.
Jeg mener, at man må afvente udviklingen på dette område meget nøje, og en tidlig fastlæggelse af anvendelsen af etableringsretten eller tjenesteydelsesretten skal forbeholdes den kommende teknologiske udvikling.
I be lieve that in this case we must await developments with great care, and any premature commitment to the application of the right of settlement or the right of service pro vision must be left up to further technological develop ment.
Jeg mener, at det dybest set er et politisk problem.
1 believe this is a profoundly political problem.
Afslutningsvis vil jeg gerne meddele Dem, at min gruppe fuldt ud vil stemme for ordførerens betænkning.
In conclusion I should like to inform you that the Group of the European People's Party will support the rapporteur's report in its entirety.
Alt i alt vil meddelelsen være til gavn for kreditinstitutterne og også for forbrugerne.
Taken as a whole, the communication will be of use to banks and also consumers.
Den Europæiske Union lider under, at den giver et diffust billede i offentligheden.
The European Union suffers from the fact that it presents a diffuse image to the public.
Man ved ikke, hvem der helt præcist er ansvarlig for hvad.
No one knows exactly who is responsible for what.
Hvem er ansvarlig?
Who is accountable?
Derfor må vi efter min mening holde os sådanne ting for øje, vi må holde os kompetenceområderne for øje.
That is why we must take account of such matters, I believe, we must take account of responsibilities.
Det bekræftede De Europæiske Fællesskabers Domstol jo også sidste år, da den -jeg tror, det var i februar - erklærede en sådan meddelelse fra Kommissionen for retsstridig.
Moreover, the European Court of Justice confirmed this last year, when it declared such a communication from the Commission - it must have been in February - to be unlawful.
Derfor, hr. kommissær: For at vogte på disse klare ansvarsområder, for at give denne Europæiske Union profil og kontur ud
That is why, Commissioner, if we are to maintain this clear responsibility, if we are to ensure that in the eyes of others the Eu ropean Union has a clear profile and shape, it would be helpful for the Commission to refrain from such communications in future.
Monti, medlem af Kommissionen. - (IT) Fru formand, kære parlamentsmedlemmer, først vil jeg gerne udtrykke min tilfredshed med den betænkning, som Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Borgernes Rettigheder har frem lagt, og jeg vil især gerne takke ordføreren, hr. Wijsenbeek.
Monti, Member of the Commission. - (IT) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I would like to ex press my appreciation for the report presented by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights, and in particular I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Wijsenbeek.
Vi er særligt tilfredse med det forhold, at Retsudval-
We are particularly satisfied by the fact that the committee is in favour of abolishing notification in the case of the provision of cross-border financial services.
get stiller sig positivt over for afskaffelsen af notifikation i tilfælde aflevering af en grænseoverskridende finansiel tjenesteydelse.
Legal redress and the competence of the courts, in fact, are a different problem, governed by distinct regulations.
Endelig, fru formand, er der to punkter endnu: Det er et interessant spørgsmål, hvad forbindelsen mellem det an det bankdirektiv og den såkaldte »Cassis de Dijon«-sag er.
I would also like to mention some principles of the single market for financial services which should be considered in the examination of points 4 and 8 of the report.
Det ville imidlertid ikke være korrekt at hævde, at ophævelsen af artikel 20 og den deraf følgende irrelevans af det sted, hvor en tjeneste ydes, medfører, at forbrugerne har et større valg med hensyn til det sted, hvor de ønsker at gøre brug af appelmuligheder.
The supervisory authorities of a host Member State are never asked to issue or refuse authorization to a foreign credit institution, either for reasons of general interest or for any other reason.
Appelmuligheder og dom stolenes kompetencer et helt andet problem, der omfattes af separate regler.
One of the fundamental results of the single market for banking services is that only the supervisory authorities of the Member State of origin are able to adopt such a measure.
Dette er årsagen til, at Kommissionen foreslår ophævelsen af dette notifikationskrav.
This credit institution can there fore provide, in any other Member State, the financial services for which it has obtained authorization in its Member State of origin.
Endelig er der det sidste punkt, hvor jeg henviser til ord føreren, hr. Wijsenbeeks anmodning, hvori han udtrykke ligt spurgte: »Men hvorfor?
Finally, my last point, with reference to the specific re quest of the rapporteur, Mr Wijsenbeek, 'But why?
Ville det ikke have været mere logisk at ændre det andet bankdirektiv fremfor at fremsætte en fortolkningsmeddelelse?« Begreber som »samfundsmæssig interesse« er under stadig udvikling: medlemsstaterne kan have meget forskellige opfattelser med hensyn til de specifikke aspekter af princippet samfundsmæssig interesse og kun et system med en retlig genbehandling kan sikre, at der er den nødvendige fleksibilitet i respekten for dette princip.
Would it not be more logical to modify the second bank ing directive rather than issue an interpretative communication?' Concepts such as 'the general interest' are developing: the Member States may have very different ideas, as regards the specific aspects of the principle of the gen eral interest; only a system of legal reexamination can guarantee respect for this principle with sufficient flexibility. bility.
Jeg vil endvidere minde om nogle principper for det indre marked for finansielle ydelser, som man må have for øje i forbindelse med behandlingen af betænkningens punkt 4 og 8.
If we try to define this concept in the directive, the direc tive will become subject to frequent modifications. On the other hand, the legislative process is such - and no one knows this better than I - that modifications to directives take a long time.
En værtsmedlemsstats tilsynsmyndigheder vil aldrig blive opfordret til at udstede eller afvise at udstede en til ladelse til et udenlandsk kreditinstitut hverken af hensyn til samfundsmæssige interesser eller af nogen anden grund.
If the Commission had announced the abolition of Article 20 of the second banking directive, before being able to remedy the legal uncertainty it would have taken a few years from the beginning of the legislative procedure.
Et af de vigtigste resultater af det indre marked for banktjenesterne er netop, at kun oprindelsesstatens til synsmyndigheder er kompetente til at træffe en sådan af gørelse.
I would like to demonstrate that the Commission's com munication presents a view of the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice and expresses the position of the Com mission concerning these questions, therefore it does not in any way constitute a binding document.
I henhold til det andet bankdirektiv kan et kreditinstitut således anmode om tilladelse fra oprindelsesstatens tilsynsmyndigheder.
It is therefore an attempt to contribute to a clear interpretation on the part of the Commission, which is the guardian of the Treaties.
Dette kreditinstitut kan derefter i enhver anden medlemsstat levere de tjenesteydelser, hvortil det har modtaget godkendelse fra oprindelsesstaten. ten.
On the other hand, I agree, what is this communication based on?
Hvis vi forsøgte at definere dette begreb i direktivet, ville vi får brug for at ændre det alt for ofte.
It is based on a compilation of the relevant case law of the Court of Justice in this field.
Samtidig forholder det sig sådan - det ved medlemmerne af Parlamentet jo bedst selv- at ændringer af direktiver tager lang tid.
If you like, this is the added value brought by the Commission: to collate the material based on the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, certainly not with the creation of addi tional pieces of legislation.
Hvis Kommissionen havde iværksat ophævelse af artikel 20 i det andet bankdirektiv, ville der opstå en periode med juridisk usikkerhed i flere år, efter at den lovgivningsmæssige procedure var indledt.
We consider that this initiative is useful and essential to increase openness in banking, because we cannot honestly expect that the European citizen is informed - or that all European citizens, if we want to be more optimistic, are informed - of the most recent developments in the case law of the Court.
