Rollerne supplerer hinanden, fordi de nationale parlamenter spiller en rolle i landenes hovedstæder med at kontrollere, undersøge og overvåge de ministre, der repræsenterer deres land ved rådsmøderne i Bruxelles.
Although we have achieved a degree of protection in administrative law, through the Regulation on Administrative Penalties and on-site Inspections, we are lagging far behind in terms of criminal law.
Og hvad kan vi derfor foretage os for at gøre fremskridt i denne rigtige retning?
It seems that the role of the national parliaments is to be extended by means of a protocol on two major aspects.
Fru Neyts-Uyttebroeck fremsætter tillige meget konkrete forslag om, hvorledes man kan forbedre Europaparlamentets kontrol, samt endelig vedrørende samarbejdet mellem Europa-Parlamentet og de nationale parlamenter.
We think that the measures aimed at strengthening the controls exercised by national parliaments should remain principally the responsibility of those parliaments and that they can help to fulfil their role within the European Union with greater effectiveness.
Jeg er ikke i tvivl om, at nogle af metoderne kan forbedres.
President. - Thank you very much, Mr Commissioner Van den Broek.
Ligeledes vil jeg sige ordføreren tak for det fremragende arbejde, hun har udført, for hendes konkrete forslag, hvori hun har anerkendt betydningen af de nationale parlamenter, som den kom til udtryk under den høring, der fandt sted i Bruxelles for nogle uger siden.
The convention I mentioned earlier, signed as long ago as 1995, and the two associated protocols have still not yet been ratified.
Med tekster som denne, der ikke er spektakulære, går opbygningen af Europa frem skridt for skridt.
Indeed, I fear that it is becoming more and more improbable that they ever will be ratified by all Member States.
Her kommer Europa-Parlamentets rolle ind i billedet.
So these texts remain a dead letter.
Nogen skal tage sig Rådet som et kollektivt organ, som en institution, der træffer beslutninger på europæisk plan som en europæisk institution.
But even if all the Member States were to ratify them, that would not automatically achieve balanced protection of the EU's financial interests.
Og det er det vigtige ved proceduren med fælles beslutningstagning - et direkte valgt parlamentarisk organ på europæisk plan, der arbejder sammen med Rådet.
The fact is that some Member States have let it be known that their legislation is aheady harmonized with the convention.
Derfor supplerer de to roller hinanden, og derfor skal man i traktaten være omhyggelig med at skelne mellem de to roller.
That this is not the case is apparent from their own national reports.
Vi kan støtte de kompromis løsninger, der synes at tegne sig ved regeringskonferencen, om at indføre foranstaltninger, der letter den nationale kontrol, som de nationale parlamenter skal udøve, gennem bedre tidsfrister og bedre formidling af dokumenter, der giver dem tid til at gå i dybden med de emner, der skal drøftes.
But even assuming that the convention were to be properly implemented, harmonization would still tum out to have feet of clay, because a number of aspects are not covered - such as the conciliation procedure, the limitation period, and the flow of information from administration to jurisdiction. tion.
Noget endnu vigtigere i regeringskonferencen er et emne, der hører sammen med det foregående, nemlig indførelsen af flere afgørelser med kvalificeret flertal.
Clearly, we cannot sit back and wait for the possible ratification of what is in any case weak legislation.
Med mindre vi udvider muligheden for afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal i den nye traktat på mindst hele fællesskabslovgivningens område, er det ingen nytte til at diskutere, hvordan man bedst kan udøve parlamentarisk kontrol fra de nationale parlamenters eller Europa-Parlamentets side. Dette problem skal løses på denne regeringskonference.
Thirdly, the Intergovernmental Conference should, as previously agreed in Dublin, reinforce Article 209a of the EC Treaty to give Parliament the right of codecision.
I denne forbindelse skal regionerne, dvs. de enkelte områder, spille en grundlæggende rolle, også ved en bedre placering af deres særlige institution, nemlig Regionsudvalget. valget.
In conclusion, I appeal to the Commission and to the Member States, as a matter of urgency, to do everything possible under the existing regulations to combat fraud, so that the public - and we in this House - are not constantly being horrified by subsidy scandals, real or imagined.
Méndez de Vigo (PPE). - (ES) Fru formand, jeg finder, at det gode resultat af fru Neyts-Uyttebroecks betænkning, der blev vedtaget med stort flertal i Udvalget, skyldes, at den koncentrerer sig om det rigtige.
Theato (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, Madam President-in-Office, Commissioner, these two oral questions follow on from the knowledge obtained during the hearing in April on the legal protection of the.
Hvorfor?
EU budget and therefore of its tax revenue.
Fordi den går ud fra noget givet, nemlig at Europa-Parlamentet og de nationale parlamenter repræsenterer de europæiske
First, there are already a number of instruments to deal with fraud, corruption and international organized crime.
Europa-Parlamentet er rede til at arbejde i direkte forbin delse med de nationale parlamenter.
I think the reasons for this glaring conuadiction between what is said and what is done are now clear.
Lad os håbe, at dette er gensidigt. Det ville endda være særdeles nyttigt, for at
To put it briefly, we are in the presence of an international criminal situation, and the legislative, administrative and institutional framework designed to contain it
Spørgsmålet om inddragelse af de nationale parlamenter i Fællesskabets beslutningsproces er et yderst relevant spørgsmål, som må gøres til genstand for nærmere overvejelser.
To counter this crime wave we find a static and alarming situation: fifteen national legal systems which are heterogeneous in substance and procedure, and between which there is no effective and rapid communication.
Lad os sammen arbejde for en forenkling af lovgivningsprocedurerne, lad os sammen arbejde for fælles arbejde om uopsættelige sager, og lad os først og fremmest arbejde for, at borgerne kommer til at forstå, hvorfor de to største institutioner, der repræsenterer dem, eksisterer, og hvorledes de fungerer!
Here too it should be stressed that this must operate with every democratic guarantee, the guarantee of parity for the prosecution and the accused, but certainly some thing must be done in the direction of common legislation. The fourth is giving the UCLAF the functions of coordination and technical support to the national legal authorities. ties.
Van der Waal (I-EDN). - (NL) Værdien af fru Neyts' betænkning findes frem for alt i, at opmærksomheden henledes på den vigtige funktion, som de nationale parlamenter har i Den Europæiske Union.
These are the four courses of action that the European Parliament is indicating.
Vi medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet skal erkende, at borgerne stadig føler sig mest knyttet til deres nationale parlament, fordi det er tæt på dem og rodfæstet i deres eget lands historie og tradition.
We are not a Parliament which just complains, we are also a Parliament which believes it has practical proposals to make on these issues.
Styrkelse af demokratiet i Unionen skal derfor i første række søges i opvurderingen af de nationale parlamenters rolle inden for det europæiske system.
Madam Minister, Madam Commissioner, please give serious consideration to the results of this debate and vote.
Goerens (ELDR). - (FR) Fr. formand, jeg har netop fremsat et ændringsforslag omfattende det vigtigste for slag, som jeg fremsatte i en betænkning om den samme problemstilling rettet til den luxembourgske premierminister, nemlig tildeling af en ret til de nationale parlamenter til at kræve annullering af fællesskabsretsakter under påberåbelse af magtfordrejning eller en anden alvorlig begrundelse, i henhold til bestemmelserne i artikel 173, andet afsnit, i traktaten.
So, especially after the hearing we have held, and after the strong warning that has reached us from the seven European judges who launched an appeal from Geneva just a year ago, it is clear that, given these difficulties and this powerlessness, we need to consider new instruments for a European legal area, new instruments for the European taxpayer where fraud is involved, but for the European citizen full stop in terms of the way this organized crime affects their safety.
Selv om styrkelsen af den nationale parlamentariske kon trol med den europæiske lovgivning er parlamenternes egen sag, kan der på europæisk plan godt træffes en række foranstaltninger for at gøre dem mere involverede. Neytsbetænkningen indeholder med henblik herpå en lang række værdifulde ideer.
Sorgdrager, President-in-Office of the Council. - (NL) Debates have been held in the Committee on Budgetary Control and the Committee on Civil Liberties and Internal Affairs on setting up a legal area which would protect the financial interests of the European Union against international crime.
Jeg agter derfor at foreslå det, man på tysk kalder ein Vorschlag zur Güte, altså en idé, som kan afrunde hjørnerne og modvirke den følelse af frustration og magtesløshed, som de nationale parlamentarikere ofte har over for den europæiske opbygning.
I refer to lifting banking secrecy when international assistance is requested, introducing rales which would allow a European judge to talk directly to his colleagues, without going through tortuous, lengthy and wearisome procedures, and the importance of new common types of offence, especially where economic crime is concerned.
Samtidig konstaterer vi, at betænkningen lægger for lidt vægt på Europa-Parlamentets mangelfulde demokratiske legitimitet.
Members of the European Parliament, Mrs Theato and Mr Bontempi, have asked questions on this subject.
Der forventes for meget af udvidelsen af Europa-Parlamentets beføjelser.
You are emphasizing - rightfully - to what extent we need to combat fraud within the Union.
Borgerne kan jo vanskeligt identificere sig med et parlament, hvori den nationalpolitiske mangeartede karakter vanskeligt trænger igennem, og hvori alene sprogbarrieren gør en virkelig politisk debat umulig.
The Council and European Parliament support each other in the fight against fraud and crime.
Europa-Parlamentets velfungerende demokratiske repræsentation af et så stort antal borgere, sprog og kulturer i Bruxelles og Strasbourg vil derfor pr. definition vedblive at være problematisk.
The Council therefore thinks it is important to ensure a permanent exchange of ideas be tween the Council and the European Parliament. Such an approach would be stimulating for both institutions.
Det er således hovedsagelig for at undgå en beklagelig inflation af en blankocheck, at jeg foreslår, at de nationale parlamenter bliver deltagere i Den Europæiske Unions Jurisdiktionssystem på lige fod med de nationale regeringer og Unionens institutioner.
I want to mention, over and above financial inter ests, that something interesting has happened: a convention on corruption has been approved, there is the Com mission's communication on anti-corruption policy in general, the Council is making a major drive against organized crime, and, amongst other things, a convention on mutual legal assistance is also being discussed.
Miranda (GUE/NGL). - (PT) Fru formand, også vi påskønner ordførerens indsats i forbindelse med udarbejdelsen af denne betænkning, og vi kan tilslutte os en meget stor del af det, de tidligere talere har sagt.
I have had the privilege of discussing on several occasions with the responsible committees in the European Parliament the subject of progress made in negotiations within the thud pillar, and also on the ground, in the fight against fraud.
Derfor bør Den Europæiske Unions politiske dagsorden fortsat være begrænset til de opgaver, som klart har en merværdi i forhold til en national løsning.
I shall also be willing to answer the questions put by Mrs Theato and Mr Bontempi.
Det vil være det bedste bidrag til formindskelsen af afstanden mellem borgerne og den europæiske politik og formindskelsen af det demokratiske underskud.
In my reply, I shall deal with the decisions taken under the Dutch Presidency and the Council in the field of fighting organized crime in general.
Under alle omstændigheder vil jeg særligt fremhæve følgende: der er flere aspekter, der ikke belyses tilstrækkeligt i denne betænkning, navnlig to centrale aspekter, som der en dag må findes en løsning på.
It is becoming harder and harder to maintain the values that we all find so important. That is being blocked by the fact that crime - as we all know - is increasingly transgressing the limits of the Member States' jurisdiction.
Lovgivningsbeføjelserne koncentreres hos de udøvende instanser. Dette problem skal løses.
However, we all have the impression, you and I, that we are going backwards.
De nationale parlamenters rolle skal styr kes, ikke alene for så vidt angår kontrol med de udøvende
There are four courses of action, which are clearly contained in the motion for a resolution.
Jeg konstaterer f.eks. i mit eget land Flandern, at alle politiske partier i det flamske parlament er imod uden videre at indføre den europæiske stemmeret.
The second is an extraordinary initiative that this Parliament is ready to take to
Denne protest fra et helt folk høres ikke engang her i Europa-Parlamentet og respekteres da slet ikke.
I repeat it here: entry into force depends on the state of completion of national ratification procedures.
Når man vil tale om et demokratisk underskud, mener jeg, at man hermed har et vigtigt eksempel.
That is a fact, but let us make it quite clear, you really must act quickly.
Derfor fremhæver jeg bl.a. betydningen af at bibeholde alle medlemsstaters vetoret i håb om, at mit eget land, Flandern, hurtigst muligt kan blive en medlemsstat i Den Europæiske Union.
The Council has answered this expectation by going along in full with the recommendations which emerged from this action plan. It is stipulated in practical terms that these instruments must come into force by mid-1998 at the latest.
Fayot (PSE). - (FR) Fr. formand, der er, og det er vi klar over, ligesom en misstemning mellem de nationale parlamenter og Europa-Parlamentet.
It is also with this in view that an action plan has been worked out at the request of the European Council under the Dutch Presidency to take a European approach to fighting organized crime.
De nationale parlamenter beklager sig over at være blevet reduceret til registreringskontorer for beslutninger, der træffes andetsteds, især af Europa-Parlamentet.
This action plan will be subjected to the approval of the European Council in Amsterdam.
I lyset af denne misstemning mener jeg, at betænkningen af Neyts er en fremragende klarlæggelse af problemet, og at den viser, at Europa-Parlamentet og de nationale parlamenter kæmper den samme kamp: demokratiseringen af Europa.
At this Council meeting, I told my colleagues of the importance of proper parliamentary and judicial controls when measures aimed at combating organized crime are being worked out.
Denne betænkning viser især, at man i stedet for rivaliseren må tale om komplementaritet, idet de nationale parlamenter råder over en stor brakmark, der kan opdyrkes.
I have conveyed to you the text of the action plan and held a fruitful discussion with the Committee on Civic Liberties and Internal Affairs - as you recall - on the measures proposed in this action plan.
Denne omfatter hele Rådets lovgivningsvirksomhed, nationale ledere samt hele området omkring mellemstatsligt samarbejde.
It is now for the Council to urge action on working out particular points in consultation with the European Parliament.
Det oplever jeg også her kort før regeringskonferencens afslutning i Holland.
It goes without saying that this European approach is necessary.
Altså eksisterer problemet med forståelsen for den almindelige offentlige interesse stadig.
You have insisted here on a rapid implementation of Europol and I go along with that.
Også det så kaldte EU-sprog er nu som før en barriere over for befolkningerne.
The second protocol to the Treaty was examined at the meeting of the Justice and Internal Affairs Council of 26 and 27 May.
EU-sproget er meget lidt fængende, og det er voldsomt præget af alle mulige bogstavforkortelser.
We reached a political agreement on all the questions which were still outstanding.
Man har somme tider indtrykket af, at institutionerne befinder sig i nogle rumskibe oppe over kloden, og så kommunikerer de med hinanden i et særligt kodesprog.
The second protocol I refer to contains regulations on the liability of corporations, criminal or administrative sanctions for corruption or fraud, sanctions applied to money laundering, the seizure and confiscation of advantages illegally ob tained by means of fraud corruption and also encouraging cooperation between the Commission and the Council in this field of action.
Det kan man så godt opfange hernede på jorden, men man kan ikke forstå, hvad det drejer sig om.
I must emphasize the importance of the liability of corporations, a novelty in European Union regulations.
For det vrimler med subsidiaritet, variabel geometri og komitologi og mere af den slags.
Consequently, this text is now ready for submission for signature and I hope that this signature will take place under the auspices of the Dutch Presidency.
Resultatet er også, at man finder det uinteressant og somme tider ligefrem kedeligt.
I am not going to go into detail of the content of the action plan.
Det gør de jo også på redaktionerne rundt omkring.
You all know it sufficiently well, I think.
I denne sammen hæng er det så vigtigt netop at pege på de nationale parlamenters rolle, sådan at de nationale parlamenter simpelthen opdager Europa.
However, I should like once again to emphasize the importance of this plan.
De nationale parlamenter er trods alt nærmere befolkningerne end Europa-Parlamentet, så det drejer sig også om at bruge netop de nationale parlamenter for at gøre det hele mere nærværende over for borgerne.
It is a framework in which we should tackle fraud in terms of the European Union's financial resources and as such I should emphasize the foundations of the European legal area within which the Member States can cooperate in the best possible way, within the framework of their common approach to dealing with organized crime.
Det er, sådan som det bliver understreget så kraftigt også her i dag, nødvendigt.
The judicial area cannot be achieved by treaties alone.
Féret (NI)· - (FR) Hr. formand, man kunne forvente af en betænkning, der vil indgå i den store europæiske opbygning, at den var en hymne til glæden.
The Member States ought, of course, to be assisted in this matter by an effective Europol.
Men vi har kun fået en døgnflue, med det moderne refræn om demokratisk underskud, der gentages femten gange.
In my opinion, this is the framework and corresponding measures referred to by those two speakers.
Da jeg selv har siddet i et nationalt parlament, før jeg kom i Europa-Parlamentet, kan jeg tale med om de nationale parlamenters problemer med gå i gang med europapolitikken.
I would not be fully performing my informative task unless I told you of the other achievements of the Netherlands Presidency.
Ofte har de nationale parlamenter hverken tid eller midler til at følge udviklingen i europæiske sager.
This instrument is also a major weapon in the fight against fraud and corruption.
Mange ting er komplicerede, bureaukratiske i Europa, og en forenkling af traktaten ligger nok ikke lige om hjørnet.
Activities on the draft agreement on mutual judicial assistance in criminal affairs - another important matter - have not yet been completed but we have made substantial progress on this.
Åbenhed har aldrig været det magiske ord i den europæiske opbygning.
The Treaties must be ratified and the measures implemented.
De gamle partier har lige opdaget hittet i sommeren 1997, som de sidste år i Belgien, hvor de efter at have begravet dødsstraffen gravede ligene af fire små piger op, opdagede hittet i 1996, nemlig retssystemets og institutionernes funktionsudygtighed.
Various detailed reports have also been drafted, for example on the Treaty on the protection of the Community's financial interests and the agreement on extradition, which should in any case make it possible to speed up ratification procedures.
Alt hvad der kan lette de nationale parlamenters arbejde, bør således gøres, men jeg vil dog gerne advare mod en tendens, der ses i visse lande, i visse nationale parlamenter, og som består i at ville skabe en ny institution under de nationale parlamenter.
All the instruments I have just referred to are, together with the framework offered by the action plan, the best means of achieving an efficient protection of the Union's financial interests.
En forøgelse af antallet af forsamlinger har altid været et tilbageskridt og ikke et demokratisk fremskridt, da hver forsamling har tendens til at eksistere i sig selv og til at ville fremhæve sig selv på de andres bekostning.
In this respect, measures aimed at fighting fraud and corruption are being complemented by other measures to fight organized crime.
Lad os derfor, fru formand, forsøge at nå til enighed, at samarbejde, at respektere hinandens kompetence og at lette hinandens arbejde.
There is still a lot of work to be done but this does not seem to be close to changing.
Endnu en gang, den fremragende betænkning af Neyts bidrager i stort omfang hertil.
In my opinion, the European Parliament is going to play a lasting role in these developments.
Kære liberale og patriotiske kollega, De ved godt, at det i dag er latterligt at tale om demokratisk underskud.
The questions put to the Council refer specifically to the fight against fraud in terms of Community funds.
FORSÆDE: Luis MARINHO Næstformand
In other words, the Council really is taking this seriously.
Men måske vil jeg alligevel stemme for betænkningen af Neyts, fordi den er så meget desto smukkere, fordi den er overflødig.
Gradin, Member of the Commission. - (SV) Mr President, Minister, ladies and gentlemen, a great deal of work has
Det ser ud til, at de nationale parlamenters rolle vil blive udvidet gennem en protokol, hvori to aspekter vil stå centralt.
Gradin sion, for the first time, would have a role to play in criminal law proceedings. Although this is only a limited role I still see this as a big step forward.
For det første skal de nationale parlamenter informeres bedre om Unionens arbejde ved tilsendelse -fru Neyts henviste også til det - af Kommissionens grønog hvidbøger samt lovgivningsforslag inden for en frist på fire uger.
As far as the Commission is concerned, we will of course continue to develop those instruments required to protect the EU's financial interests in the best possible way.
Hager (NT). - (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, mit ceterum censio lader Kartago fuldstændig uberørt.
been undertaken in recent years to improve the protection of European Union financial interests.
Det er tværtimod rettet mod en manglende gennemsigtighed, mod en manglende nærhed til Unionens borgere og mod det eksisterende demokratiske underskud.
The fact that the fight against fraud in the EU is now considered a clear high priority task demonstrates that this work has yielded results.
Jeg vil derfor gerne oprigtigt komplimentere ordføreren.
There is no common legal framework in Europe which regulates all matters involving fraud.
Vi mener, at foranstaltninger med henblik på at styrke de nationale parlamenters tilsyn hovedsageligt fortsat skal være en sag for disse nationale parlamenter selv, og at disse kan hjælpe dem med at spille en mere effektiv rolle i Unionen.
There is an obvious risk that the lack of proper coordination, both at a national level and between Member States will lead to such divisions that a legal trial would be impossible in practice or in any case would not give a result.
Afstemningen finder sted torsdag kl. 12.00.
After all, two years have passed since it was signed.
