Med hvilken begrundelse modtager Parlamentet ikke UCLAF-rapporten eller modtager den kun, når vi retter det sværeste skyts mod Dem, nemlig en fuldstændig blokering af midler til den humanitære hjælp? Det er en skam, at De lader til kun at forstå dette sprog.
'The clear ing up of an offence is almost deliberately delayed', and we might wonder whether the Unit for the Coordination Of Fraud Prevention (UCLAF) is 'actually being used to cover up the truth'.
Kellett-Bowman (PPE), skriftlig. - (EN) Jeg støtter Bosch-betænkningen, fordi forslagene heri udgjorde en mulig vej frem for UCLAF.
van Dam (I-EDN), in writing. - (NL) A European trans port network offers enormous advantages in very differ ent areas.
I 1980 foreslog jeg, at Fællesskabet burde have et rejsehold. Så jeg blev meget glad, da UCLAF blev etableret på dette Parlaments initiativ.
It is vital that we promote this development, particularly in view of the fact that the infrastructure is not interoperable.
Ja, vi har ikke kun et problem, men derimod en dyb krise mellem Kommmissionen og Parlamentet.
The rapporteur makes some extremely important points about this.
Hr. Boschs forslag om et uafhængigt OLAF giver svaret på dette problem.
This antifraud unit, one of the many cogs in the Commission's machine, lacks independence.
Hr. Santers svar var nyttigt og konstruktivt.
The proposals by Mr Bosch to strengthen this unit and to grant it as much independence as possible are therefore heading in the right direction.
Par lamentet modstod efter min mening klogt forsøg på at svække dette forslag ved hjælp af ændringsforslag. Jeg lykønsker hr. Bosch.
Through the com mittees of inquiry appointed by the House, we have seen how effective we can be in this field, for example, as re gards the way in which the Commission dealt with the BSE issue.
I Tyskland har befolkningen netop afgjort, hvad der skal ske med dem, der kun vil sidde passivt og vente på, at krisen driver over.
However, we still have some doubt as to whether the projects under the European transport network are financially viable, calling as they do for major investment from both the Member States and neighbouring countries.
Hvis Kommissionen ikke er modtagelig over for det og reagerer tilsvarende og angiver retningen, og det ser det ikke ud til, må den være klar over, at vi bliver nødt til at nægte at give decharge i december.
If this has to come from the public sector it will mean a heavy burden on the national budgets, so private capital will be needed.
Det viser de seneste anklager om svindel, og det fremgår tydeligt af beretningen fra Revisionsretten.
We need to develop a climate in the Union which makes investment in such projects attractive for the private sector.
Et særligt organ (OLAF) med større beføjelser og øgede ressourcer, så det også kan ud føre interne undersøgelser, som det foreslås i betænknin gen, kan være vejen frem.
Its influence must extend beyond the purely financial: it is a major source of knowledge and know-how that must be put to optimum use in order to achieve the best possible benefits for society.
For at OLAF virkelig skal blive selvstændigt, bør Kom missionen ikke være tilsynsmyndighed og træffe beslutninger om udnævnelser, disciplinære forholdsregler m.m.
But in order to stop this tendency on the part of the Euro pean institutions to foster large-scale fraud, it is also im portant to apply the principle of subsidiarity strictly and correctly.
Der skal ikke oprettes et særligt europæisk strafferetsligt område.
To limit the volume of uncontrolled appropriations, we must reduce as far as possible the proportion of funds that has to pass through Brussels.
Rovsing (PPE), skriftlig. - Svig mod Fællesskabernes budget er et af de alvorligste problemer i det europæiske samarbejdes 50-årige historie.
The rapporteur highlights, too, the existence of a 'grey area' that can conceal considerable risks of fraud in 'technical' legislation and its countless implementing regulations and provisions, as well as in the comitology system, with its many committees and other consultative bodies.
Både på grund af de finansielle skadevirkninger, svindelen medfører, og - navnlig - på grund af den enorme skadevirkning, det har for EU's omdømme blandt borgerne.
Decisions are taken here that sometimes have considerable financial implications.
Kommissionens centrale tjeneste for bekæmpelse af svig, UCLAF, er derfor et EU-organ af exceptionel stor vigtighed for hele Unionen.
In this respect, it is typically the case that very often only a small number of officials
UCLAF har allerede løst store opgaver siden tjenestens oprettelse, men det er klart, at manglen på retsligt samar bejde mellem medlemsstaterne har vanskeliggjort UCLAF's arbejde i betydeligt omfang. Og der er i øje blikket ikke udsigt til væsentlige fremskridt.
Lis Jensen and Krarup (I-EDN), in writing. - (DA) The main concern of the Sisó Cruellas report is that the EU should play a role in strengthening the infrastructure of Eastern and Central Europe as a precondition for trade be tween the EU and Eastern Europe.
Derfor er en
The TEN programme,
europæiske institutioners tilbøjelighed til at opfordre til - storstilet svig.
which has been extended to cover Eastern and Central Eu rope, must however be seen in the light of the political and economic pressure that the EU has put on the Eastern Eu ropean countries in association with demands for certain investment in infrastructure.
For at begrænse den ukontrollerede mængde af pengemidler bør man reducere de beløb, der passerer Bruxelles mest muligt.
This criticism is not to deny that there is a need for massive investment in the infrastructure of Eastern Europe.
Den mest effektive kon trol er den, der foretages så tæt på skatteborgerne som muligt.
On the other hand, the EU's transport policy does call for some criticism in principle.
Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL), skriftlig. - (SV) Jeg støtter de fle ste dele af betænkningen.
But how are the other projects getting on?
Jeg deler dog ikke synspunktet om at gøre EU til et strafferetsligt område, samt at der skal oprettes en europæisk retslig myndighed.
It would seem that large sums have been spent on studies and on various plans, but for the rest, there has been complete silence!
Souchet (IEDN), skriftlig. - (FR) Vores gruppe støtter Boschbetænkningen først og fremmest, fordi den undgår den politiske propaganda og indeholder en skarp analyse af den inteme korruption i Kommissionen.
I can still hear Jacques Delors advocating these trans-European networks, which he felt would create many jobs, and I still remember the decisions taken at the Luxembourg Employment Summit, but I am now waiting to see some concrete results.
Her træffes afgørelser med til dels betragtelige økonomiske konsekvenser.
I know that up until now major national infrastructures have been financed to a large extent by public money.
Det er karakteristisk i den forbindelse, at det ofte kun er en håndfuld tjenestemænd fra de respektive EU-institutioner, der deltager i beslutningsprocessen, der har et fuldstændigt overblik over sagen og udviklingen i proceduren.
National investment could have been greater still if all the taxes and duties on transport had been used for invest ment in infrastructure, but that has not been the case.
Ordføreren forsøger ikke at skjule omfanget af svindel og korruption i Kommissionens tjenestegrene. Man tæller faktisk ikke længere antallet af programmer i Kommissionens regi, i forbindelse med hvilke der i løbet af de seneste måneder er afsløret svig og bedrageri for meget store beløb.
The infrastructure projects in Eastern Europe which the EU has supported, for example through PHARE and the European Investment Bank, cater for the interest the big industrial concerns in the EU have in opening up Eastern and Central European markets for their products by im proving east-west communications.
Ifølge ordføreren er »disse tilfælde, der er blevet kendt, sandsynligvis kun toppen af isbjerget.«
The question is just what significance this massive input of capital will have for Eastern European trade and industry.
Denne glimrende analyse viser, at den overdrevne kon centration af kompetencer og den bureaukratiske opbygning, som er foranlediget heraf, udgør en betydelig kilde til svindel og korruption.
Even the World Bank has gradually realised that major infrastructure programmes intended to bind the centre and peripheral re gions together will not by themselves boost economic de velopment in the peripheral regions.
Endnu en gang er det passende svar anvendelse af subsidiaritetsprincippet. Men des værre foreslås den modsatte vej i Amsterdam-traktaten.
On the contrary, it has heen shown that the increased exposure of local markets in peripheral regions to competition from the central regions can bring about economic decline in the peripheral regions.
Theorin og Wibe (PSE), skriftlig. - (SV) Det bedste middel mod svig og korruption i Kommissionen ville være at lade offentlighedsprincippet gælde over alt.
Indeed, we are all aware that, in order to build the transEuropean networks, we need enormous financial re sources, financial resources that the Member States can not supply in the short term.
Det nuværende hemmmelighedskræmmeri med skatteydernes penge er ikke acceptabelt.
We must therefore find other sources of funding.
Van Dam (IEDN), skriftlig. - (NL) Et europæisk trans portnetværk har mange fordele på forskellige områder.
Schlechter (PSE), in writing. - (FR) For historical reasons, the road, rail and inland waterway networks on the European continent, as well as the ports and airports, have, apart from a few rare exceptions, been designed on grounds of national interest.
Det er vigtigt at fremme denne udvikling, særlig i betragtning af, at infrastrukturen ikke kan anvendes indbyrdes.
It was only during the 1980s that a debate was opened on a genuinely panEuropean transport policy.
I Boschbetænkningen understreges det, at de disciplinære procedurer i de fleste tilfælde ikke en gang indledes, og at de kompetente juridiske myndigheder kun sjældent bliver inddraget, når en strafbar sag opdages. »Opklaringen er blevet modvirket næsten systematisk (...).
We assume that the European Investment Bank will certainly do all in its power to finance and promote at least some of the various cases.
Man kan spørge sig selv, om ikke Direktoratet for Koordinering af Bedrageribekæmpelse (UCLAF) er skabt for at sløre visse forhold«.
Equally, we hope that financial resources from the different Structural Funds will be made available at last to begin to build infrastructure net works and, consequently, to create jobs.
En regional avis resumerede her til mor gen gårsdagens forhandling med følgende titel: »Sanktioner usandsynlige for alle sager.«
However, in spite of all this, I do not believe that we will have sufficient financial resources to pay for the 14 main priority projects.
Ordførerens hovedpunkter er i den henseende meget vigtige.
In my opinion, we must try to do everything to ensure that private capital also goes into the projects.
Vi støtter ikke mindst udviklingen af et vedvarende transportnetværk og anvendelsen af de teknologiske muligheder.
Without it, the programmes might have to continue for decades, if not forever, in order to satisfy all our hopes and needs.
Men det ændrer ikke noget ved, at vi har vores tvivl om projekterne inden for rammen af det europæiske trans portnetværk vil kunne realiseres finansielt.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of our colleague Günther Lüttge, the European Parliament, with the help of the Commission, was able to organise PanEuropean Trans port Conferences in Prague, Crete and Helsinki.
Denne enhed til bedrageribekæmpelse mangler uafhængighed bl.a. på grund af, at den er en del af Kommissionens maskineri. Den har derfor tendens til at beskytte tjenestemændene.
Today, we are presented with a new proposal from the Commission on connecting our infrastructure network with that of our neighbours in eastern Europe.
Hr. Boschs forslag med henblik på at styrke denne enhed og give den maksimal uafhængighed går altså i den rigtige retning.
Do we need to think about introducing a general Euro pean toll if the funding cannot be found from conventional sources?
Kontoret, som han foreslår oprettet, skal arbejde tæt sammen med Europa-Parlamentet, som har kontrol med Kommissionens aktiviteter, navnlig på det økonomiske plan, blandt sine væsentligste opgaver.
I do not know, but I sincerely believe that in practically every country it is very difficult to envisage an increase in revenue or public expenditure, and that we must find other possibilities of cofunding for certain in frastructure projects.
Vi har gennem de undersøgelsesudvalg, som Parlamentet har nedsat, set den effektivitet, som kunne være vores egen inden for dette område, eksempelvis med hensyn til den måde, hvor på Kommissionen behandlede BSE-spørgsmålet.
The infrastructure needs assessment process is coordinated by the TINA group, which is made up of senior of ficials from the Member States and applicant countries and which has its secretariat in Vienna.
Men det er ligeledes påkrævet at anvende subsidiaritetsprincippet korrekt og stringent for at forsøge at bremse de
I am saying all this because we are faced with considerable problems in terms of making progress with the construction of Europe.
Den private sektors indflydelse kan ikke begrænses til den finansielle side af sagen. I denne sektor er der et stort
This is all very well, but ï would have liked us to have been first given information on the state of progress of the 14 projects adopted in the common position.
Koordineringen af evalueringen af behovet for infrastruk­turer forestås af ΤΙΝΑ­gruppen, der består af højtplace­rede tjenestemænd fra medlemsstaterne og ansøgerlan­dene, og som har sit sekretariat i Wien.
Where are we going to find this extra money? Can we link aid to certain conditions, such as that 40 % of the investment in transport infrastructure, which is deemed to be the most important, must be devoted to rail transport, 25 % to road transport and 15 % to combined transport?
Sammenfattende skal vi anvende den disponible viden og midlerne på en velovervejet måde med henblik på at op­bygge en vedvarende og forsvarlig infrastruktur.
Mr Méndez de Vigo and I fought hard for the inclusion of a joint amendment to this effect in the Bourlanges-Martin report, because unlike certain sectors of the tourist industry and certain other Members, we believed that tourism is much more than statistics.
Betænk­ningen er i den henseende en god begyndelse.
We felt that, in the long term, the loss of this reference from the revised Treaty would result in more problems than benefits, even for the tourist sector itself.
Alt dette er meget godt, men jeg ville have ønsket, at man først og fremmest fortalte os, hvor langt man er nået med de 14 projekter, som blev vedtaget i den fælles holdning.
Without wanting to stand in the way of aid to the other neighbouring countries Of the European Union, I wonder whether we are not holding these negotiations at a danger ously fast speed.
Jeg mener at vide, at det eneste af de 14 projekter vedtaget af Rådet i Essen, der er færdigt, er forbindelsen mellem Danmark og Sverige (Øresund), mens lufthavnen i Mi­lano­Malpensa er ved at være færdig, men uden den jern­baneforbindelse og den hurtige vejforbindelse, som Kom­missionen, Den Europæiske Investeringsbank og Europa­Parlamentet ikke desto mindre havde krævet.
Having said this, and to leave nobody in any doubt, I wish to make it quite clear that I welcome this hew report, which is an effort to fill the legal vacuum somehow, al though unfortunately outside the Treaty of Amsterdam.
Denne kri­tik er ikke en afvisning af, at der er behov for massive in­vesteringer i Østeuropas infrastruktur.
For all these reasons, I voted against the report by Mr Sisó Cruellas.
Tilsyneladende er store beløb blevet brugt til undersøgelser og talrige byg­geplaner, men hvad resten angår, er der absolut tavshed.
This is very important from an Irish perspective considering the tourism industry plays a very considerable role in generating jobs in the Irish economy.
Denne tavshed er uforståelig, når Wilhelm Piecyk i sin betænkning skrev, og jeg citerer: »Færdiggørelsen af det transeuropæiske transportnet kræver investeringer for mindst ECU 400 milliarder i løbet af de næste 15 år.
Deprez (PPE), in writing. - (FR) The continuous in crease in the various forms of road traffic calls for integrated management of this traffic at all levels: local, re gional, national and European.
Alene for at gennemføre de mest påkrævede foranstalt­ninger inden år 2000 er der behov for ca. ECU 220 milli­arder.«
The constant progress in information technology allows us to give serious consideration to such a hypothesis from now on.
Jeg kan stadig høre Jacques Delors anbefale disse trans­europæiske net, som han karakteriserede som store kilder til jobskabelse, og jeg kan stadig huske beslutningerne fra beskæftigelsestopmødet i Luxembourg, men nu jeg ven­ter på konkrete resultater.
In fact, according to the mid-term evaluation on the spending of EU monies in Ireland carried out by the economic and social research institute, over 30 000 jobs will have been created in Ireland during the present Community Support Framework programme 1994-1999.
Jeg ved, at indtil i dag er de store nationale infrastrukturer for en stor dels vedkommende blevet finansieret af offent­lige midler.
The present tourism operational programme accounts for 369 million pounds, which is over 8 % of the overall Structural Fund programme presently spent in Ireland.
Spørgsmålet er blot, hvilken betydning disse massive satsninger vil få for den østeuropæiske handel og industri.
I am confident that the Irish tourism industry will develop and prosper over the next few years.
Selv Verdensbanken er efterhånden nået frem til den erkendelse, at store infrastrukturprogrammer, der skal binde centrum­ og periferiområder sammen, ikke i sig selv skaber en forstærket økonomisk udvikling i peri­feriområderne.
The foreseeable developments in road transport telematics are significant and their consequences are positive in that they are likely to have a beneficial effect on the quality of life of all road users, particularly in terms of safety and time-saving.
Tværtimod har mart med øgede åbninger af periferiområdernes lokalmarkeder for konkurrence fra de centrale områder oplevet en øget økonomisk afmat­ning i periferiområderne.
The possible economic and financial ad vantages are equally obvious: improved traffic manage ment in terms of time and space, multimodal transport, etcetera. cetera.
Samtidig har EIB udvist en nær­mest total lukkethed i forhold til østeuropæiske miljøor­ganisationer såsom »Bankwatch« og over for den øst­europæiske offentlighed generelt, når det gælder om at offentliggøre de miljømæssige overvejelser, som de hæv­der de foretager, før de yder lån til en række infrastruktur­programmer i Østeuropa.
The introduction of a European single currency should have a positive effect in this regard. The elimination of transaction costs in eleven Member States within the European Union encompassing a population of over 291 million people will means that the cost of travel and the cost of holidays should reduce even further.
Af disse årsager kan vi ikke stemme for Sisó Cruellas­be­tænkningen.
A single European currency brings with it a frontier-free capital zone where 'bureaux de change' no longer exist and costs are reduced.
Vi er imidlertid alle klar over, at vi for at gennemføre de transeuropæiske net har behov for enorme økonomiske midler, som medlemsstaterne ikke kan stille til rådighed med kort varsel.
A balance exists between the jobs lost in the production and marketing sectors that become obsolete due to the ap plication of new technologies to the network and to road traffic, and the jobs created in this new area of activity.
Schlechter (PSE), skriftlig. ­ (FR) Historisk set er det europæiske kontinents vejnet, jernbanenet og indre vand­veje blevet anlagt af nationale årsager, bortset fra ganske få tilfælde.
A single European currency will bring with it an in creased number of tourists which will mean an increase in the number of jobs created in the tourist industry in Ireland over the next few years.
Det var først i 1980'erne, at man begyndte at drøfte en vir­kelig paneuropæisk transportpolitik.
Consequently, I totally support the idea that we must help our businesses and, in order to do so, allocate substantial Community resources to the development and implementation of road transport telematics, in order to ensure job creation and sustainable development.
Det blev en stor succes!
Novo Belenguer report (A4-0247/98)
For første gang diskuterede folkevalgte re­præsentanter fra Øst og Vest med hinanden og traf sam­men politiske beslutninger om transportproblemerne.
Diez de Rivera Icaza (PSE), in writing. - (ES) We congratulate Mr Novo on his report, which deals thoroughly and in detail with what is such an important field.
Måske skulle vi overveje muligheden for en generel ind­førelse af en rigtig europæisk motorvejsafgift, hvis vi ikke
I regret, and I shall continue to say so, that the minimal reference to tourism was lost from the Treaty of Amsterdam.
I dag står vi over for et nyt forslag fra Kommissionen om tilslutningen af vores netværk af transportinfrastrukturer til vores naboers netværk i Øst.
In light of the fact that over 30 000 jobs will have been created between the years 1994-1999 in the tourism in dustry in Ireland, it is therefore very clear that substantial
Diez de Rivera Icaza (PSE), skriftlig. ­ (ES) Betænknin­gen af hr. Novo er seriøs og stringent i et spørgsmål af så stor betydning, hvilket vi lykønsker ham med.
Gallagher provisions must be included in the National Development Plan concerning future EU and national funding for the tourism industry in Ireland.
Jeg ved det ikke, men jeg forestiller mig helt ærligt, at det i praktisk taget alle landene bliver meget vanskeligt at få en stigning i de offentlige indtægter eller udgifter igennem, og at det bliver nødvendigt at finde alternative mulighe­der for samfinansiering for visse infrastrukturprojekter.
Therefore, we share the conclusion that highlights the need to draw up policies and allocate funds (for training, among other things) with a view to guaranteeing a maximum number of stable jobs, minimising the effects of sea sonal fluctuations and ensuring that competitiveness is not achieved at the cost of low wages.
Jeg siger dette, fordi de problemer, som vi er nødt til at løse for at komme videre med opbygningen af vores fæl­les hus, nemlig Den Europæiske Union, er store, men overkommelige, medmindre der sker noget uforudset.
Wibe (PSE), in writing. - (SV) It is nice to think that tourism brings jobs and prosperity to the regions, but I am highly sceptical about the idea of establishing a directorate for tourism within DG XXIII and developing a com mon tourism policy at EU level.
Dette er ydermere grunden til, at jeg foreslog, at der skulle oprettes et Europæiske Turistråd.
The result would simply be more bureaucracy and piles of documents.
Hvor skal vi finde pengene til disse ekstraomkost­ninger?
We do not think that the Community should start harmonising the Member States' tourism policies, as is advocated in this report.
Kan vi binde hjælpen til opfyldelsen af visse be­tingelser, f.eks. at 40 % af investeringerne i prioriterede transportinfrastrukturer skal gå til jernbaneforbindelser, 25 % til vejnet og 15 % til den kombinerede transport?
It must be up to the individual countries to draw up sensible policies of their own in conformity with the subsidiarity principle.
På grund af det ovennævnte stemte jeg imod betænknin­gen af hr. Sisó Cruellas.
As far as the tourism sector is concerned, I do not honestly believe that any major benefit would be felt out there in the real world.
Gallagher (UPE), skriftlig. ­ (EN) Jeg er glad for, at Europa­Parlamentet nu drøfter en betænkning om EU­foranstaltninger for turistindustrien.
Kellett-Bowman (PPE). - Mr President, I am on record as having said at the time when we had the strike in this House that the institution was made up of its Members and the officials.
