Derfor forstår jeg ikke nu - og deraf min forvirring -hvordan man kan beskylde Kommissionen for at have handlet overilet, da vi traf beslutningerne.
pended the contracts and that I went on to say that if he acted too precipitately, the contractors and others would have an opportunity to assert their rights in the civil courts.
Samtidig har vi krævet alle de skyldige beløb tilbagebetalt, og jeg vil give dem listen over sager, som reelt er blevet opdaget, virksomhed for virksomhed.
Mr President, I would like it to be placed clearly on record that the Commission will get to the bottom of the matter.
For det første har generalsekretæren givet samtlige gene raldirektører besked om at vedtage regler og træffe sikker hedsforanstaltninger af bred karakter i hele Kommissionen, for at denne slags sager ikke gentager sig.
I can also confirm to you that the Commission has cancelled the direct contracts which had been concluded with FERE and ISMERI.
Jeg påtager mig ansvaret i dag, for på den måde vil jeg i fremtiden kunne bede om forklaringer på visse holdninger.
Together with these two contracts, we discovered three more, in association with other technical assistance bureaux and under another name.
Man har krævet tilbagebetaling af skyldige beløb fra følgende kontorer for faglig bistand:
Under this name, there were technical assistance bureaux working completely properly and we could not harm them and, consequently, what we did in such cases also, was to suspend the contracts, with all that that entailed.
Kommissionen forhandler i øjeblikket for at se, om deres tal eller vores tal er rigtige, men også i tilfældet med Cordobaprojektet har man krævet pengene tilbagebetalt.
On the contrary, we found - and this is clearly stated in the report - that the Commission acted conectly and that it must now be in our joint interest to reveal the mistakes, so that we can learn from them and put a stop to the inegularities. The programmes, however, should start running again.
For det andet er Kommissionens Generalinspektorat for tjenesteydelser ved at komme med svar - som vi vil forelægge for Dem inden oktober - med hensyn til de generelle mekanismer, som der anmodes om i Deres betænkning.
I have already made that quite clear in my earlier contribution to the debate, but perhaps there has been some misunderstanding here.
Dette er blandt de 20 % af ting - det anerkender jeg - som mangler at blive gjort.
In any case, we should like to say than you.
De har fået frist til at svare i denne uge.
I think that is something that both sides can agree on.
Selskaberne ARTM, ISMERI og FERE har enten ikke svaret inden for de fastsatte frister eller tilbageviser Kommissionens krav.
Marin, Vice-President of the Commission. - (ES) Mr President, my apologies, there must have been a misunderstanding. standing.
Dette er en radikal foranstaltning, men et svar på det, hr. Dankert med rette påpegede.
Even before Parliament itself requested action, the Commission had already acted.
Vi kan ikke gøre det på andre måder: Når oplysningen kommer til den ansvarlige politiker, skal der træffes beslutning om suspension af forsigtighedsmæssige årsager.
Even before the Court of Auditors issued its final decision, the Commission had acted.
Derefter skal sagen undersøges. Det er et hårdt system, meget hårdt, men det er uundgåeligt.
Because the Commission, more than anyone else, has an interest in this matter being resolved.
På denne måde vil der - jeg gentager - ikke gå en eneste ecu tabt. Der er givet ordre til at suspendere alle kontrakterne.
What does concern me is that there has been no defence of the NGOs, institutions and technical assistance bureaux which acted honestly and which have been placed in a difficult situation on account of my decision.
Hvis de ikke betaler, vil Kommissionen automatisk søge skadesløsholdelse for alle fjorten kontrakter, noget som ifølge vores juridiske tjeneste er tilladt ifølge den nuværende lovgivning.
President - The next item is the report (A4-0214/97) by Mr Rosado Fernandes, on behalf of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development on the report from the Commission to the Council on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (COM(96)0554 -C4-0057/97). .
Hr. formand, jeg ønsker, at det skal stå klart, at Kommissionen vil komme til bunds i denne sag.
I was expecting interventions along the lines of: 'But, Mr Marin, you have been very hard on us', 'Mr Marin, your decision was very hasty and very inflexible, because this NGO, institution, technical assistance bureau, which was conducting its affairs properly, has been placed in a difficult position'.
Og jeg kan bekræfte, at Kommissionen har ophævet alle de gældende direkte kontrakter med selskaberne FERE og ISMERI.
And my reply has been: 'I am aware of that fact, but I needed to know what was going on'.
Jeg har sagt det bag lukket dør, og jeg siger det i dag offentligt for at undgå uklarheder med henblik på fremtiden: Kommissionen traf på et tidspunkt beslutning om at indstævne et selskab for retten i sit land, for at domstolene i selskabets land kunne undersøge, om der forelå et strafbart forhold.
I should also like to remind you - the Chair, that is - that at the meeting of Presidents in Luxembourg, it was agreed - and this is not a question of transparency but of honesty, as transparency is a term applied to glass whereas honesty is the term to be applied to humans - we must maintain that honesty and vote on this report after 12 noon.
Sammen med disse to kontrakter har vi opdaget tre til under et andet navn, der havde tilknytning til andre kontorer for faglig bistand. Under dette navn var der kontorer for faglig bistand, som arbejder korrekt, og dem kunne vi heller ikke skade, så det man har gjort er at suspendere kontrakterne med alt, hvad dette indebærer.
I would have prefened that concern should have been expressed on behalf of the innocent parties who have suffered on account of a very harsh decision.
Endelig besluttede Kommissionen - og jeg henviser igen til fru Müller - at indlede en administrativ undersøgelse, da rapporten fra UCLAF var afsluttet.
When I took it on, I knew that this would be a report not only making smoke, like some of the speeches made here, but also made of fire, fire that could burn us.
Og rapporten fra UCLAF - det har jeg sagt bag lukket dør, og jeg gentager det offentligt - fastslår, at ingen embedsmand har gjort sig skyldig i ulovlig berigelse.
That is why I agree to draft it, in the knowledge that I was defending the interest of 170 000 tobacco farmers - because there are 170 000 not 135 000 tobacco farmers throughout Europe, working farms of 1.5 to 2 hectares, between 1000 and 2000 hours a year.
Og til sidst vil jeg komme med følgende udtalelse.
Kellett-Bowman (PPE). - Mr President, I regret that the Vice-President of the Commission misquoted me.
Hr. Fabra Vallés og fru Theato, De kan være sikre på, at vi vil bringe orden i denne sag.
He suggested that I said that the Court of Auditors stopped these contracts.
Endda inden Parlamentet har bedt os handle, har Kommissionen gjort det.
The record will show that I said that the Vice-President of the Commission, Manuel Marin, sus
For Kommissionen er mere end nogen interesseret i, at der kommer en løsning på dette.
I am fed up with all the shame felt in Europe over spending money on people and the
Kommissionen til Rådet om den fælles markedsordning for råtobak (KOM(96)0554 - C4-0057/97).
The EU must surely be cautious in making no commitment to phase out subsidies for tobacco in the knowledge that all research points to its harmful effects on the health of its users, passive recipients of smoke fumes from others and children whose mothers smoke during pregnancy.
Det, jeg har noget imod, er at man ikke har forsvaret NGO'erne, institutionerne og de hæderlige kontorer for faglig bistand, som min beslutning har skadet.
I do not see the same concern with fighting fraud or the billions of ECU of unpaid VAT, or the harmonization of tax systems wallowing in a criminal system in which violators are punished but where violations are paid for at bargain basement prices in today's Europe.
Jeg havde ventet indlæg, hvor man havde sagt: »Hr. Marin, De har været meget hård«, »hr. Marin, De traf en overilet og meget streng beslutning, for denne NGO, denne institution, dette kontor for faglig bistand, som arbejder helt korrekt, er blevet skadet«.
That is what is happening in Europe - there is a lack of any morals and there is only collaboration and complicity between the Commission and the Member States, many of which have not even adhered to an agreement on the harmonization of criminal legislation. tion.
Rosado Fernandes (UPE), ordfører. - (PT) Hr. formand, indledningsvis gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg vil bruge mindre end de fem minutter, jeg har til rådighed, da det røgslør som kommissær Marin har lagt ud, ganske givet har foregrebet debattens retning.
The first health advice doctors give to their patients coming in with breathing or heart problems is to stop smoking. Of course, it is unacceptable to destroy the livelihoods of thousands of tobacco farmers without as sistance with restructuring.
Derudover henleder jeg medlemmernes og formandskabets opmærksomhed på, hvad der blev aftalt på formandsmødet i Luxembourg - og dette er ikke et spørgsmål om transparens, men om hæderlighed, for transparens er et udtryk, der anvendes om glas, hæderlighed om mennesker, og hæderligheden kræver i dette tilfælde, at betænkningen som aftalt sættes under afstemning kl. 12.00.
The amendments I have tabled propose ongoing support for farmers in Objective 1 and 5b areas, switching to types of tobacco which will eventually be able to compete on the market without subsidy, and assistance for new types of agriculture or other jobs on a scale never enjoyed by the hundreds of thousands of miners, steel workers, shipbuilders, fishermen and others who have lost their jobs through restructuring over the last two decades.
Jeg ville have foretrukket, at man havde bekymret sig om de uskyldige, som har lidt under en meget hård beslutning.
This is a depth of solidarity which was not there for those other workers whose governments were and are forbidden to subsidize these jobs under EU rules.
Men der skal ikke være tvivl om, at De, hr. Fabra Valles, inden oktober måned har svar på alt, hvad De har bedt om.
I am indignant when I see a billion of ECU for tobacco being questioned.
Da jeg påtog mig opgaven, var jeg mig bevidst, at det var en betænkning, som ikke var det rene røg, som nogle af de udtalelser, der er faldet her, men som drejed.e sig om brandfarlige materier.
There are no alternatives for the 170 000 farmers and the 30 000 in primary manufacture, 84 000 in processing, and all the other workers and small businessmen protecting the environment in extremely poor areas.
Jeg gad nok vide, hvor mange der her i Europa arbejder 1.0-2.000 timer om året.
It is shameful to use the pretext used here: that of health!
Disse landmænd udgør et eksempel til efterfølgelse.
May I remind my colleagues that I look after my own health and I do not ask them to 'look after my health' -especially as in Portuguese the expression also means 'have me buried'!
FORSÆDE: Luis MARINHO Næstformand
I now move to the points being made by the Committee on Budgets.
Kellett-Bowman (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg beklager, at næstformanden fejlciterede mig. Han antydede, at jeg sagde, at Revisionsretten standsede disse kontrakter.
It considers that the ECU 1 billion which is needed to support the workers in the tobacco-growing areas can be found under a number of headings, including, for example, the structural funds, EAGGF Guidance, budget lines Bl 5010 to Bl 5012 and a number of budget lines in Chapter B5 32 designed to stimulate small and medium-sized enterprises.
Det vil fremgå af protokollen, at jeg sagde, at Kommissionens næstformand, hr. Marin, ophævede kontrakterne, og at jeg videre sagde, at hvis han handlede for forhastet, kunne kontrahenterne og andre få fastslået deres rettigheder i de civile domstole.
It also points out that the continuance of subsidies to the tobacco sector will put a heavier burden on the EU budget after enlargement, and that something should be done to do away with the total mismatch between health and agricultural policies within the EU.
Sandheden er, at der rent faktisk, efter hvad nogle af kommissærens udsendinge og ayatollaher har oplyst Bud getudvalget, anvendes en milliard ECU til tobakssektoren.
How can our children be convinced of the real dangers of smoking when the EU devotes ECU 1 billion each year to assist the growing of its raw material?
Det er en sandhed, der ikke skal skjules, og som man ikke skal skamme sig over.
I ask you to support the appropriate amend ments.
Jeg er træt af at se på et Europa, som skammer sig over, hvad det gør, som skammer sig over at bruge de penge på personer, som det ikke bruger til bekæmpelse af svig.
There is a growing McCarthyism, imported from America, in persecuting smokers.
I øjeblikket betales lovovertrædelser i Europa til udsalgspris.
It is McCarthy, the witches of Salem, the Inquisition!
Hvad man ser i Europa, er en total mangel på etik og samarbejde og sammenspisthed mellem Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne, hvoraf mange end ikke har tilsluttet sig en aftale om harmonisering af straffelovene.
When the first Spanish soldier, Rodrigo de Jerez, set foot in Spain on his return from Mexico, and rolled up an aromatic herb into a musketshape, a priest who saw him breathe the smoke out through his nostrils said: 'You have a pact with the devil!' He complained to the Inquisition.
Theato (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, jeg vil gerne takke hr. næstformand Marin mange gange.
Now we have here various descendants of that way of thinking.
Det forholder sig ikke således, at vi har krævet, at programmerne suspenderes.
Whoever spends too much to protect work also has a pact with the devil, rather than paying the unemployed.
Dette er jo Kommissionens opgave under gennemførelsen.
This is my opinion, it is á moral opinion, that used to be valid in Europe but no more.
Men programmerne skal iværksættes igen.
We are dropping our trousers to the Americans.
Jeg sagde det også klart i mit indlæg tidligere, måske var der en misforståelse her.
It is now worthwhile being a non-smoker and accusing smokers and companies for the harm they have done.
I hvert fald vil vi geme sige tak.
It is good business right now.
Marin, næstformand i Kommissionen. - (ES) Hr. for mand, jeg beder om undskyldning, der må være sket en misforståelse.
Hardstaff (PSE). - Mr President, I am speaking for my colleague Teny Wynn on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, and as well as on my own behalf in support of my amendments.
Men når jeg oplever, at man sætter spørgsmålstegn ved en milliard ECU til tobaksproducenterne, harmes jeg. De 170.000 landbrugere har ingen alternative muligheder lige så lidt som de 30.000, der er beskæftiget i den første bearbejdning, og de 84.000, der er beskæftiget i den anden bearbejdning, samt alle de løst ansatte, små landbrugere, som bidrager til at bevare de socioøkonomiske strukturer i meget fattige områder.
Needle (PSE). - Mr President, when I say that Members of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection did not dwell too long on their opinion on this report, it demonstrates not a lack of interest nor an absence of strongly held, informed, scientifically backed views, but rather the commendable virtue of consistency.
Og hvis de havde alternative muligheder, ville de blot bringe forstyrrelse i økonomien i de sektorer, de da skulle omstille sig til.
So without apology I therefore express, yet again today, a predictable, regularly stated and staunch opposition to EU support for tobacco production, shared by Members from virtually all groups and states.
Det er en skændsel at bruge sundheden som påskud i denne debat!
It is regrettable that the Commission does not share that virtue when it comes to tobacco.
Jeg minder mine kære kolleger om, at det er mig selv, der skal tage vare på mit helbred, og at jeg ikke har bedt dem om at »tage vare på min sundhed«, et udtryk, der på portugisisk betyder at gennemprygle!
For while DG V strives to uphold Article 129 of the Treaty on health protection and its cancer action programme is severely over-stretched, DG VI has rejected options to remove resources from a product that kills people and whose advertisements will hopefully be banned by the Council next year.
Den fælles markedsordning for råtobak
However, it does not go far enough.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænk ning (A4-0214/97) af Rosado Fernandes for Udvalget om Landbrug og Udvikling af Landdistrikter om beretning fra
In the US cigarette manufacturers are being forced by the courts to accept financial responsibility for destroying the health and causing the deaths of consumers of their
Sandheden er, at der kan registreres en stigende mccarthyisme, importeret fra Amerika, i forfølgelsen af rygere.
That is such a glaring, obvious contradiction when half a million EU citizens die prematurely each year from smoking-related diseases.
Det er McCarthy, heksene fra Salem, inkvisitionen om igen!
That means over 1, 000 today and over 50 while we are debating this very report.
Det påpeger også, at fortsat støtte til tobaksindustrien vil pålægge EU's budget en byrde efter udvidelsen, og at der bør gøres noget for at skabt en balance mellem EU's landbrugs- og sundhedspolitik.
Those massive numbers of deaths alone - equivalent to wiping out the population of Luxembourg annually - should be enough to ensure that Members vote for Amendments Nos 1 to 10, submitted by Environment Committee Members.
Det er meget vigtigt, at EU på nuværende tidspunkt klart giver udtryk for, at den har til hensigt at afvikle støtten helt til dette ødelæggende produkt, hvilket skal være det langsigtede mål med reformen af tobaksmarkedet.
For this reason - and this is the principal complaint made about the Commission's proposal from a financial control standpoint - we would insist on the immediate establishment of the national supervisory agencies.
Hvor dan kan vore børn blive overbevist om de reelle farer ved at ryge, når EU bruger 1 milliard ecu årligt til at hjælpe med til at dyrke tobaksplanter? Jeg beder Dem støtte disse ændringsforslag.
These, which were expressly refened to in the Regulation have not been set up and, owing to the administrative complexity of supervision, the alternative instruments which the Member States have set up have not functioned.
tilbage til sit fædreland fra Mexico og blev set i færd med at rulle en aromatisk græsart, som lignede en musket, udbrød en præst, som så ham puste røg ud af næseborene: «Han står i pagt med djævlen!« Og han blev indklaget for inkvisitionen. Vi har her i salen flere arvtagere til denne tankegang.
But tucked away in the report is a chilling reference to annual tobacco production of 10, 000 tonnes per year in Poland.
Rygere står i pagt med djævlen, og det samme gør de, der bruger for mange penge på at beskytte arbejdspladser i stedet for at udbetale arbejdsløshedsydelser.
That is why we should act now in favour of support for farmers by rapid diversification and conversion as proposed by the Court of Auditors in 1994.
Hardstaff (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg taler på vegne af min kollega, hr. Terry Wynn, for Budgetudvalget, men også for mig selv til støtte for mine ændringsforslag.
At least the measures to encourage voluntary withdrawal from the sector are welcome, but there is little else in this report which will address the needs of the many rather than the few.
Desværre er denne forhandling startet meget sent, og hr. Wynn var nødt til at forlade salen.
It is time for the EU to put its own house in order, the better to tackle the pervasive ills of tobacco consumption.
Needle (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, når jeg fortæller, at medlemmerne af Udvalget om Miljø- og Sundhedsanliggender og Forbrugerbeskyttelse ikke brugte særlig lang tid på at udarbejde sin udtalelse om denne betænkning, er det ikke tegn på manglende interesse eller stærke, kvalificerede, videnskabeligt baserede holdninger, men snarere på, at dette udvalg er konsekvent i sine holdninger.
Fernandez Martin (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Regional Policy. - (ES) Mr President, it is not easy, in this Chamber, to argue in favour of tobacco production, but I, Mr President on behalf of the Commit tee on Regional Policy, which appointed me draftsman, have to recall certain facts and highlight others.
Så jeg vil derfor med beklagelse endnu en gang komme med en forudsigelig, regelmæssigt fremført, kraftig modstand mod EU's støtte til tobaksfremstilling, som deles af medlem merne fra næsten alle grupper og stater.
Fantuzzi (PSE). - (LT) Mr President, our group supports the main thrust of Mr Rosado Fernandes's report, but above all agrees with the Commission's document.
Det er beklageligt, at Kommissionen ikke deler denne holdning, når det drejer sig om tobak.
Opinions differ within the Socialist Group, but we do agree on the fact that the Commission is giving good advice in this communication.
Til forskel fra de fleste af medlemmerne i Udvalget om Landbrug og Udvikling af Landdistrikter synes jeg, at Kommissionens forslag er et velkomment skridt i den rigtige retning, nemlig en reform af den fælles markeds ordning for tobak.
Great advances have been made since the 1992 reform, and it must be acknowledged that tobacco growers have managed to adapt to the new context and rise to the challenge confronting them.
Men den er ikke vidtgående nok.
It would be wrong not to recognise this.
Tobak er den eneste landbrugsafgrøde, der støttes økonomisk af EU, og som dræber dem, der forbruger dette produkt, hvis det brages sådan, som det er hensigten.
And to say that, as we have heard in the last few days, as far as tobacco is concerned, the debates in this Chamber have not changed in the past ten years.
I USA tvinger domstolene tobaksfabrikanterne til at tage et økonomisk ansvar for at ødelægge helbredet på dem, der forbruger deres produkter, ja for endog at dræbe dem.
To begin with, I should state that we support the Executive Committee's document and Mr Rosado Fernandes's report. I should recall that it is no accident that tobaccoproducing regions in Europe are, in the main, Objective 1 regions.
EU må sandelig være forsigtig med at lade være med at forpligte sig til at afvikle støtten til tobaksindustrien, når den er fuldt vidende om, at al forskning peger i retning af dens skadelige virkning på brugernes helbred, hvad enten der er tale om passive rygere eller børn, hvis mødre ryger under graviditeten.
They are regions with an income much below the Union's average: Thrace and Macedonia in Greece; Apulia and Campania in Italy; Andalusia, Extremadura and the Canary Islands in Spain; and the Azores in Portugal.
Det er en ganske utrolig modsætning, når der hvert år er 1 million EU-borgere, der dør for tidligt på grund af tobaksrelaterede sygdomme.
All these are amongst the poorest regions in Europe and, in many of them, tobacco is not only the main source of wealth but the only source of wealth - there is no alternative.
Det betyder mere end 1 000 i dag og mere end 50, mens vi forhandler om denne betænk ning. Og det er dødsfald, der så godt som alle kunne undgås.
Such is the case, for example, of Thrace and Macedonia.
I denne uge lancerede man i London en større regeringssponsoreret kampagne - næsten et korstog - for at afskaffe rygning. EU burde støtte denne kampagne, ikke undergrave den. Der kommer sandsynligvis masser af statistikker, som skal begrunde disse modstridende strategier.
Heaven forbid that our message today should be: 'Do not worry, tobacco producers, you can relax now. No one is going to bother you any more!'
