Jeg mener, at dette er i mod­strid med både forretningsordenens artikel 41, stk. 1, og i modstrid med den traktat, der i særlig grad garanterer vo­res spørgeret. Spørgeretten er en af de vigtigste individu­elle parlamentariske rettigheder, og ingen Formandskon­ference, og ikke engang dette Parlament, kan, tror jeg, bare afskaffe denne ret, for vi har ret til en månedlig spør­getid til Rådet.
Graenitz (PSE). ­ (DE) Mr President, let me justify my motion to postpone the Commission statement on the Buenos Aires climate conference on the grounds that I and the Members who took part in this conference on be­half of Parliament decided, after talking the matter over, that it would be more sensible to prepare carefully for this αϊβομβείοη in the appropriate committees; that would al­low us to conclude with a motion for a resolution which , was not drafted in haste, straight after hearing the out­come of the conference, but was based on careful and de­tailed preparation.
Mange kolleger har som jeg fremsat vig­tige spørgsmål til Rådet i rette tid. Jeg vil gerne fastholde, at denne spørgetid gennemføres.
I would ask the House to endorse my group's motion, so that Parliament's views can have some substance, rather than being put forward in a rush.
(Forslaget vedtoges) Onsdag: (ingen ændringer) Torsdag:
Dell'Alba (ARE). ­ (FR) Mr President, I have no objec­tions to the draft agenda for Monday, but I would like to know if it is true that the Conference of Presidents has taken a decision concerning the legal basis of the Fabra Vallés report.
Formanden. ­ Hr. Posselt, for at beskytte denne grund­læggende rettighed giver forretningsordenen ­ som De påkalder Dem ­ de politiske grupper mulighed for at an­mode om ændring af dagsordenen, hvis den er vedtaget af Formandskonferencen.
President ­ Yes, Mr Dell'Alba, and the Conference of Presidents has established that Article 206 was not the ap­propriate legal basis for the report.
Der har ikke været fremsat en eneste anmodning rettidigt om, at spørgetid til Rådet skulle indføres igen i denne mødeperiode.
This report will there­fore be put to the vote by simple and not absolute major­ity, and will not entail either approval or rejection of the Commission's management.
Det er ikke op til mig at gøre det.
However, I am grateful that you have given me the opportunity to do that now.
Formanden. ­ De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe har anmodet om, at Kommissionens redegørelse om resultaterne fra klimatopmødet i Buenos Aires udsæt­tes.
Spencer (PPE). - Mr President, I led the Parliamentary delegation to Buenos Aires. I absolutely endorse the pro­posal that we take our time in responding to what was a very complex outcome in Buenos Aires.
De har også anmodet om, at dagsordenen for torsdag ændres, således at betænkning af Lehne om lufthavns­transit, som er opført om fredagen, opføres efter betænk­ning af Wiebenga om fordrevne personer, således at dags­ordenen bliver som følger: kl. 9.30­13.00, kl. 15.0­16.00 og kl. 18.0­20.00 vil der først være afstemninger, derefter betænkning af Wiebenga og derefter betænkning af Lehne.
It missed failure by a very narrow margin. It was Mr Linkhorst's sugges­tion, as one of the other members of the delegation, that rather than going straight to a debate in plenary we should attempt to have a discussion in at least the three commit­tees most clearly responsible, draft a careful resolution and come back either in December and January.
Kl. 16.0­18.00 vil der være aktuel og uopsættelig debat, som reduceres til to timer i stedet for de normale tre timer.
That is certainly the opinion of Commissioner Bjerregaard, so I endorse the idea.
Det endelige forslag til dagsorden, som det blev opstillet af Formandskonferencen i overensstemmelse med forret­ningsordenens artikel 95, er omdelt.
President ­ The PPE Group has asked for the Ferri re­port on supplementary pensions to be brought forward from Thursday and placed after the Añoveros Trias de Bes report on promoting innovation through patents.
Der er foreslået eller foretaget følgende ændringer:
Is there a speaker from the PPE Group in favour of this re­quest?
Ønsker nogen at tale for forslaget?
Mrs Oomen­Ruijten has the floor.
Mandag: (ingen ændringer)
(Parliament approved the request)
Jeg giver ordet til hr. Dell'Alba.
Wednesday: no changes
Dell'Alba (ARE). ­ (FR) Hr. formand, jeg har ingen ind­sigelser vedrørende forslaget til dagsorden for mandag.
Aelvoet (V). - (NL) Mr President, we addressed this question last week in a perfectly normal manner.
Det forekommer mig, at Formandskonferencen har taget stilling til retsgrundlaget for betænkningen fra Fabra Val­lés. Er det korrekt?
It was handled positively at the meeting of General Secretaries and at the Conference of Presidents.
Jeg beder om, at De følger min gruppe, således at vi som Parlament kan udtale os substantielt og ikke forhastet.
Anybody who has looked at the media today and also over last weekend will know that it is now and not in January that the public de­bate is taking place.
Formanden. ­ Ja, hr. Dell'Alba, og Formandskonferen­cen har konstateret, at artikel 206 ikke udgjorde det kor­rekte retsgrundlag i forbindelse med den pågældende be­tænkning.
It is inconceivable to me that the Eu­ropean Parliament would not be able to make an initial political assessment of the outcome of Buenos Aires last week.
Det er artikel 148, der finder anvendelse, da der er tale om en initiativbetænkning.
If we wait until January to come up with a very searching, very balanced and very detailed response, we will find that nobody is listening any more.
Denne betænkning sæt­tes derfor under afstemning med simpelt flertal og ikke med absolut flertal og skal ikke godkendes eller forkastes af udvalgsledelsen.
On the basis of the information currently available we are perfectly able to adopt a brief, well-founded political position this week while the matter is still in the news and not when it is past history.
Formandskonferencen har bedt mig meddele formanden, at der skal gøres udtrykkeligt op­mærksom på dette forhold, umiddelbart inden afstemnin­gen finder sted.
It is now that we must react, it is the Euro­pean Union which has shouldered its responsibilities on this issue and it is this European Parliament which must now make its voice heard.
De skal have tak for at have givet mig denne lejlighed til at gøre det.
I put to the vote the request from the Group of the Party of European Socialists
Spencer (PPE). ­ (EN) Hr. formand, jeg var leder af Par­lamentets delegation til Buenos Aires.
(Parliament approved the request) Friday:
Jeg støtter helt klart forslaget om, at vi tager lidt betænkningstid, inden vi reagerer på det meget komplekse resultat i Buenos Aires.
President - The Group of the Party of European Social­ists has requested the removal of the debate on the oral questions on BSE in Portugal.
Hr. Linkhorst, en af de andre i delegationen, foreslog, at vi i stedet for at gå direkte til en plenarfor­handling skulle forsøge at tage diskussionen op i hvert fald i de tre mest ansvarlige udvalg, udfærdige et grundigt beslutningsforslag og vende tilbage i december eller ja­nuar.
It has also requested the inclusion, after the report by Mr Wiebenga on displaced persons, of the report by Mr Lehne on airport transit arrangements which is cur­rently entered on Friday, so that the agenda for Thursday would be as follows: from 9.30 a.m. to 1 p.m., 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. we would have first voting time, and then the Wiebenga report and the Lehne report.
Det er i hvert fald kommissær Bjerregaards hold­ning, så jeg støtter idéen.
Be­tween 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. there would still be the topical and urgent debate, reduced to two hours and without re­turning to the normal length of three hours.
Aelvoet (V). ­ (NL) Hr. formand, vi har fremført denne sag på normal vis i sidste uge.
Colino Salamanca (PSE), chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. - (ES) Mr President, I should like to express my view as chairman of the Com­mittee on Agriculture and Rural Development.
Den er blevet positivt be­handlet på sekretærernes møde og på Formandskonferen­cen.
This issue has already been discussed in committee, first in the pres-
Graefe zu Baringdorf (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg går ind for, at dette bliver stående på dagsordenen, og vil gerne tilføje, at vores mundtlige forespørgsel endnu ikke står opført her.
Fabra Vallés (PPE), rapporteur. - (ES) Mr President, the Spanish Secretary of State for Development Cooperation, Mr Fernando Villalonga, published an excellent article in the press last week entitled 'Felling the rotten tree to save the forest'.
Vi har godt nok fået tilsagn om, at den står opført i den endelige dagsorden.
This age-old idea encapsulates the think ing behind my. report.
Vi har altså også en mundtlig forespørgsel vedrørende BSE, og jeg går meget ind for, at det bliver diskuteret.
Through the resolution dated 31 March this year, Parliament entrusted me with its preparation, and I can assure you that it has been one of the least pleasant duties I have had to carry out in my 20 years as an elected representative.
Hvis vi i januar kommer med en meget gennem tænkt, en meget afblanceret og meget detaljeret erklæring, er der ikke længere nogen, der lytter.
Everyone knew that many Members of the Euro pean Parliament would be unable to attend as it was an ex traordinary meeting arranged at the last minute.
Vi er udmærket i stand til på det foreliggende grundlag at komme med en kort, begrundet politisk udtalelse i denne uge, hvor sagen er aktuel, og ikke når sagen er gemt og glemt.Vi skal rea gere nu.
It should be made clear that this is not only an issue for the Portuguese but also relates to how the Commission acts in this kind of situation, a very serious situation for all Portuguese meat producers.
Det er Den Europæiske Union, der har taget sit ansvar i denne sag, og Europa-Parlamentet må nu lade høre fra sig.
That is why I tabled an oral question on behalf of my group.
Formanden. - Mange tak, fru Aelvoet.
President. - Thank you, Mr Rosado Fernandes.
Jeg sætter PSE-gruppens forslag til afstemning. · (Forslaget vedtoges)
Graefe zu Baringdorf (V). - (DE) Mr President, I am in favour of keeping this item on the agenda, and wouldadd that our oral question has not been included injt.
Jeg sætter forslaget fra De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe til afstemning.

Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0404/98) af Fabra Vallés for Budgetkontroludvalget om konsekvenserne af affæren omkring MED-programmerne. grammerne.
President - The next item is the report (A4-0404/98) by Mr Fabra Vallés, on behalf of the Committee on Budget-
Jeg ved ikke, om der er nye oplysninger, der støtter denne anmodning om opførelse på dagsordenen.
Thanks to the information made available by Mr Marin, we know that the Commission has paid ECU 600 000 for the projects to be audited.
Efter vores op fattelse giver det ingen mening.
You are aware of this too, as you have had the findings on your desk since September.
Lad mig bruge dette gamle ordsprog til at forklare motivationen bag denne betænkning, som Parlamentet i be slutning af 31. marts i år overdrog mig at udarbejde.
On the basis of the European Commission's own criteria, experts at the London firm that carried out the audit have identified costs totalling ECU 4 million that ought to be recovered.
Jeg kan forsikre Dem om, at det har været en af de mest utaknemmelige opgaver, jeg har haft i mine 20 år som valgt medlem.
They have also identified a further sum of over ECU 20 million and additional checks will have to be done in this respect, not to mention the total of ECU 2.2 million to be recovered from the technical assistance firms.
Vores hensigt har altid været at sikre dette vigtige samarbejde ved at give det et bedre grundlag, et mere solidt fundament.
A further and as yet unknown sum must be added to this total.
Hr. Heine dukkede op i sidste øjeblik for at meddele årsagerne til embargoen.
The exact amount will become known when

belong, namely by the national judicial authorities.
Men, hr. Liikanen, og det bør også siges, hvis vi virkelig ønsker at bevare skoven, må vi være sikre på, at alle de berørte træer er blevet fældet.
Hence our persistence here, the persistence of the rapporteur but also of the Committee on Budgetary Control and, in the end, of the House itself.
Wemheuèr (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, ingen - heller ikke Parlamentet - vender tilbage til samme sag to gange uden grund.
You now have the opportunity to inform us that you are going to pass the whole file on to the judicial authorities.
Vi gør det ikke, fordi vi ellers ville kede os og ikke vide, hvad vi skulle bruge dagen til.
I urge you to take advantage of this opportunity, because it is not for the European Commission or for Parliament to decide whether or not punishable offences have been committed.
Det havde været bedre, om vi havde afklaret alt det, der skal afklares, i én betænkning.
That is a matter for the judicial authorities.
Efter vores mening var der dog væsentlige punkter, der ikke blev afklaret, og som desværre heller ikke er blevet ordnet i mellemtiden.
It is a simple and fundamental principle that Parliament confirmed once again in its resolution on the discharge on 31 March this year.
Jeg kan godt understrege det endnu en gang, men min kollega Fabra Vallés har sagt det hele.
Furthermore, it is an obligation the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg has confirmed by case-law.
Så betyder samtlige desværre virkelig samtlige, for hvem skal stå for udvælgelsen?
It is not only an obligation, it is a necessity, because it is a very complicated file, and many individuals are involved.
Kommissionens forhold til de juridiske myndigheder i medlemslandene er jo et andet, end hvis der var tale om et internt forhold i et medlemsland.
Given the resources and rights it has, or rather does not have, at its disposal, UCLAF cannot successfully under take an investigation of this magnitude without the support of the judicial authorities.
Det ved De også, eftersom De har haft resultaterne på Deres bord siden september.
I think per haps we will, and we must also undertake to review these questions in depth in connection with the discharge.
De har også fundet et andet beløb på over ECU 20 millioner i udgifter, for hvilket det er nødvendigt at udføre yderligere undersøgelser.
I think we will also be discussing our relations with the Court of Auditors today and considering how rapidly we can deal with the questions that arise from this.
Hertil bør lægges endnu et beløb på ECU 2,2 millioner, som skal tilbagesøges fra kontorerne for faglig bistand.
After all, this re port also shows that there is no point spending too long and too much time on formalities.
Hertil kom mer endvidere et endnu ukendt beløb, hvis størrelse vi vil kende, når de beslutter at oplyse os om Finanskontrollens revision af MED-LINK-kontorerne for faglig bistand.
If matters take this course, I shall be able to say that I am in favour of granting the discharge where this issue is con cerned, and at the same time, you will have the chance of restoring the credibility the Commission has been losing over the last few weeks.
Vi har kendskab til disse problemer, ordføreren har også kendskab til dem og har inddraget dem i sine overvejelser.
We have asked enough specific questions in committee and had to wait too long for answers.
Ikke desto mindre skal vi holde fast i, at beslutninger skal træffes dér, hvor de hører hjemme, nemlig hos de nationale juridiske myndigheder.
That is another reason why we have had to come back to the same question twice in the space of about a year.
Det er imidlertid et problem, som vi allerede har beskæftiget os med gennem længere tid.
If someone criticises the implementation of a particular policy, it is always assumed that they are criticising the substance of that policy area.
Derfor også her vores hårdnakkethed, ordførerens hårdnakkethed og også Budgetkontroludvalgets og i sidste ende Parlamentets.
I believe that is unacceptable. It is done by public opinion, but it is also done here in this House, and I think the two are often con fused during the debates.
Nu skal jeg nok slutte, hr. kommissær, men først vil jeg bede Dem udvise en smule mod, tilstrækkeligt mod til at erkende, at De har taget fejl, eller at nogen har fået Dem til at tage fejl af problemernes virkelige omfang og de be løb, der står på spil.
Wemheuer (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gen tlemen, nobody, including this Parliament, comes back to the same question twice without reason. We are not doing this to avoid boredom or because we do not know how to spend the day.
Nu har De muligheden for at meddele os, at De vil videregive alle sagens akter til retsmyndighederne.
It would have been better if we could have clarified everything that needs clarifying in a report.
Gør det, for det er hverken EuropaKommissionens eller Parlamentets opgave at fastslå, om der har fundet strafbare handlinger sted.
But in our view some important points were not clarified, and nor have they been in the meantime, unfortunately.
Dette hører under retsmyndighedernes kompetence.
I am emphasising this again, although Mr Fabra Vallés has already made the point.
Der er dog ikke kun tale om en forpligtelse, men også om en nødvendighed, for det drejer sig om en meget kompleks sag med talrige implicerede parter og om, at UCLAF - med de midler og rettigheder, som afdelingen råder over, eller rettere, som den ikke råder over - umuligt kan gennemføre en undersøgelse af denne kaliber uden retsmyndighedernes deltagelse.
But this could not detract from, or in a sense overshadow the fact that we are also looking at how they were implemented in the past, because our criticism of their implementation is fundamental and con cerns the management of programmes in general and per sonnel management in general; then, in a sense, the affair of the MED programmes is merely an example of some thing we are criticising on principle.
Og hvis alt går denne vej, vil jeg tillade mig at udtale mig for afgørelsen om decharge i forbindelse med denne sag, samtidig med at De får chancen for at genetablere Kom
If we assume that only a court or the appropriate judicial authority can decide whether the facts of the case constitute grounds for criminal proceedings, then the judicial authorities must be in possession of all the information.
Det er beklageligt for os alle, at vi hele tiden må forholde os sådan.
But then 'all' unfortunately really does mean all, because who could make a selection?
Vi må tage udfordringen op, Kommissionen må tage udfordringen op, men også Revisionsretten må tage udfordringen op.
We are aware of this difficulty, as is the rapporteur, who has taken it into account in his report.
Jeg tror, at vi også i dag kommer til at diskutere vores forhold til Revisionsretten og diskutere, hvor hurtigt vi kan behandle sa gerne.
Nevertheless, we must urge that decisions are taken in the place where they
Denne betænkning viser også, at det ikke er hen sigtsmæssigt, hvis man skal bruge for megen tid på for malia.
Theato (PPE), chairman of the Committee on Budgetary Control. - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, did we not all believe, or at least hope, that we had finally got to the end of the long saga of the MED programmes and
Wemheuer firma frem til en underkendende dom, sådan som det også var tilfældet med Revisionsrettens særberetning 1/96.
Theato that the Commission had taken action, after adopting a resolution on it more than a year ago and emphatically re peating key points of it when we postponed the discharge in the spring?
Vi må finde andre former. De bliver mere præcise, men bestemt ikke mere uformelle.
It must in fact be the case that the Commission must neither cover up for its officials nor hide behind them, but simply accept the responsibility for the fact that things are as they are.
Jeg mener, at det er utilstedeligt.
We were well wide of the mark!
Sådan foregår det i offentligheden, men sådan foregår det også her i Parlamentet, og det bliver ofte blandet sammen i debatten.
As Mr Fabra Vallés has explained, instead of improvements, we have seen new information come to light which seems to show that the fi nancial damage is far worse than we had hitherto as sumed.
Hvis ARTM, en international samling af belgisk lovgivning, af Kommissionen får til opgave at revidere MED-projekterne uden retsgrundlag og uden stillingtagen fra Den Juridiske Tjeneste og fi nanskontrollen, hvis administratorerne samtidig leder kontoret for faglig bistand og medvirker ved tildelingen af projektmidler til dels uden licitation og i den forbindelse sikrer sig et stort stykke af den kage, der skal forde les, læs: store, fede ordrer, så er det som minimum en sammenblanding af interesserne, og dén holdning har Revisionsretten og UCLAF også.
I can only deplore the course of events, because the fact is that we cannot close the matter with this report, but once again have to call on the Commission to take action and once again say what steps we in Parliament will be obliged to take if the Commission does not comply with our require ments.
Kommissionen har hidtil tydeligvis ignoreret Revisions rettens tydelige henvisning til, at et sådant forhold kan være strafbart i henhold til belgisk ret.
This was discovered by a British auditing company which - and we grant the Commission this - was commissioned by Brussels to investigate completed MED programmes and projects.
Vores kollega Fabra Vallés sagde helt i starten: Vi havde en interesse i, at MED-programmerne bliver genoptaget.
The auditors are looking into about half the completed projects and believe that some 4 million euros can be reclaimed.
Vi har gjort alt for at give Kommissionen mulighed for at genoptage programmerne.
Let me ask the Commission: how much money has it actually recovered so far?
Det var vores primære mål.
Have the rest of the projects been examined now, and what amount of re payments does that come to?
Men det kunne ikke stå tilbage for eller så at sige træde i baggrunden for, at vi også beskæftiger os med, hvordan de er blevet gennemført tidligere, for kritikken af gen nemførelsen er af principiel karakter og har noget med forvaltningen af programmer generelt, noget med personalemanagement generelt at gøre.
What conclusions does the Commission draw from the serious defects found by the auditing firm, such as over-subsidised projects, evidence which had disappeared and so on?
Så er MED-programmerne så at sige kun et eksempel på noget, vi kritiserer principielt. Så er ECHO kun et eksempel på noget, vi kri tiserer principielt, så var turismesagen et eksempel på no get principielt, og vi må også alle lære, at vi kritiserer ge nerelle strukturer, når vi kritiserer et eksempel, og at denne kritik rækker langt videre end betænkningen.
Why was UCLAF not brought in promptly, as the rapporteur says?
Den anden problemstilling, der er relevant for vores de charge for 1996, er spørgsmålet om, hvordan Kommissionen håndterer den disciplinære forfølgelse.
I would therefore ask the Commissioner if we can have a clear answer here and now as to whether the Commission will respond to paragraph 3 of the report and take the specific action which is being requested.
Vi mener ikke, at et administrivt undersøgelseshverv og en administrativ procedure kan erstatte en disciplinær forfølgelse og heller ikke, at dette er egnet til at bevise en muligvis skyldig persons uskyld.
If there is one thing that can shake our citizens' trust in the EU system, it is the suspicion that certain things are not happening in accord ance with the rules, that irregularities are occurring, or that some people are engaging in a cover-up.
