Formanden. - Jeg har i overensstemmelse med forretningsordenens artikel 162, stk. 4, modtaget en indsigelse fra V-gruppen mod den fortolkning af bestemmelserne vedrørende dechargeproceduren, som i går blev forelagt Parlamentet.
President -1 have been informed by the Green Group, pursuant to Rule 162(4), that it contests the interpretation of the provisions governing the discharge procedure that was announced to Parliament yesterday.
Jeg vil derfor geme gøre opmærksom på følgende: Af stemningen om fortolkningen vil finde sted i afstemningstiden i dag, det vil sige til middag, sådan som det i øvrigt allerede tidligere er blevet meddelt.
I would therefore remind the House that, as announced yesterday, the vote on this interpretation will take place at voting time today, in other words at 12 noon.
Der kan naturligvis ikke indledes forhandlinger om dette spørgsmål på nuværende tidspunkt.
I promised Mr Gil-Robles yesterday in the corridor here in Parliament that I would let the Secretary-General have a short statement in French and English sometime this week, and I shall be happy to hand it over to you this week, Madam President.
Forretningsordenens artikel 162 er fuldstændig klar.
Rule 162 is perfectly clear.
Af stemningen finder sted om et øjeblik, altså til middag.
We shall vote at 12 noon.
Jeg vil dog forinden give ordet til fru Theato, formand for Budgetkontroludvalget, som har bedt om ordet.
However, I will give the floor to Mrs Theato, who has asked to speak as chairman of the Committee on Budget­ary Control.
indkaldt til at møde op i Domstolen i Luxembourg kl. 9.30 som led i en præjudiciel behandling af et spørgsmål i hen hold til artikel 177, der er stillet af distriktsdomstolen i Rotterdam. Vi bliver således nødt til at vælge.
Theato (PPE), chairman of the Committee on Budgetary Control. - (DE) Madam President, I should like to request that the opinion drawn up by the Legal Service - which contains statements on this point-should also be made available to groups and Members.
Vi rejser fra Strasbourg til Luxembourg, før solen står op.
I do not know whether all Members have now received this opinion.
Vi når sandsynligvis ikke afstemningerne. Vi har således valget mellem at tage til Luxembourg eller blive her til afstemningerne.
Yesterday, it was also submitted to the Committee on the Rules of Pro­cedure, the Verification of Credentials and Immunities.
Hvem afgør det? Det er det spørgsmål, som jeg i går stillede til forretningsordenen.
President - That is difficult, Mrs Theato, since the inter­pretation has been given by the Committee on the Rules of Procedure.
Det afgør vi, det siger vores advokater. Nej, siger Præsidiet, i henhold til artikel 5 træffer vi beslutning for Dem.
It is that interpretation which has been con­tested, and the House knows its mind well enough to de­cide freely for itself.
Den vil jeg med glæde overgive Dem i denne uge.
It will do that at 12 noon today.
Theato (PPE), formand for Budgetkontroludvalget. -(DE) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne bede Dem om også at lade udtalelsen fra Den Juridiske Tjeneste, som siger en hel del om dette punkt, tilgå grupperne og medlemmerne.
Wijsenbeek (ELDR). - (NL) Madam President, I would just like to say that the Court of Justice has indeed sum­moned me to attend on Tuesday, 12 January 1999 in the Wijsenbeek case.
Jeg ved ikke, om alle medlemmer nu har modtaget denne udtalelse. Den blev i går også forelagt for Udvalget for Forretningsordenen, Valgs Prøvelse og Medlemmernes Immunitet.
I would also point out that we have al­ready discussed this issue in the Committee on Legal Af­fairs of which you yourself are a member, Madam Presi­dent, and that the case concerns the free movement of per­sons and the interpretation of Articles 7 and 8, on which Parliament itself brought proceedings, though its case was rejected as inadmissible.
Janssen van Raay (UPE). - (NL) Fru formand, den 12. januar 1999 er hr. Wijsenbeek og undertegnede blevet
Janssen van Raay (UPE). - (NL) Madam President, on 12 January 1999, Mr Wijsenbeek and I are required to at­tend the Court of Justice in Luxembourg at 9.30 a.m. in proceedings on a question referred for a preliminary rul­ing on the basis of Article 177 by the District Court in Rotterdam. We are therefore faced with a choice.
Wijsenbeek (ELDR). - (NL) Fru formand, jeg henviser til, at Domstolen har indkaldt undertegnede til at møde i Wijsenbeekstraffesagen tirsdag den 12. januar 1999.
Pex (PPE), chairman of the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education and the Media. - (NL) Madam Presi­dent, I have a comment on the Minutes, because the pres­idency yesterday committed an omission which could have serious consequences for relations between Parlia­ment and the Council.
Jeg påpeger, at vi allerede tidligere har behandlet denne sag i Retsudvalget, som De også er medlem af, fru formand, og at det her drejer sig om personers frie bevægelighed.
It was on the Council's common position on the European capital of culture for the years 2005 to 2019.
Det drejer sig om fortolkningen af artikel 7 og 8, som Parlamentet har ført proces om, men på grund af manglende kompetence blev sagen afvist.
The deadline for any reactions expires to­day, but the presidency requested and was granted a post­ponement by the Council.
Ved hjælp af min advokat, cand. jur. J.L. Janssen van Raay, der i dette tilfælde også er min kollega, har vi derfor selv anlagt sag, fordi vi som medlemmer af Parlamentet, men også som almindelige borgere er ofre for den manglende gennemførelse af artikel 7 og 8.
It is not clear why and when this postponement is to begin, because no announcement was made yesterday that the common position had been received. You can put this right by announcing it now, which would mean that the deadline for reactions is post­poned until Τ 5 January.
Jeg anmoder Dem derfor, fru formand, om både som institution, men også som procesførende, selvom sagen ikke kunne behandles, at give os fuld støtte og medvirken og ikke at gå ud fra, at alle medlemmer til enhver tid skal være til stede, fordi det er en fejlagtig for-
If we do not react we shall achieve the exact oppo­site, which is that the common position will go through on the nod. I would therefore urgently request that you make this announcement today, and I would also point out that this is the consequence of the procedure followed with
García Arias (PSE). - (ES) Fru formand, jeg har en forespørgsel vedrørende spørgetiden.
Plooijvan Gorsel (ELDR). - (NL) Madam President, you know that we all have to come here to Strasbourg for one week a month and that we are often deprived of news from our home countries.
Fru formand, når kom missærerne giver møde, og vi ved, hvem der kommer til spørgetiden, retter vi spørgsmål til bestemte kommissærer.
The situation has been some what improved by the fact that we now have a television in our room broadcasting in all sorts of languages.
Men i dette tilfælde har Europa-Kommissionen be sluttet, at nogle spørgsmål, der var rettet til hr. Van Miert, fordi de vedrørte konkurrencepolitikken, besvares af hr. Papoutsis, som ikke vil være til stede under spørgetiden på dette møde.
There is even a Dutch-language channel, but every time I come here I find that it has been switched off, and I have to make a number of telephone calls to have it restored.
Jeg ved - eller jeg kan forestille mig - at spørgsmålene ikke længere kan ændres, men Præsidiet burde udnytte sine beføjelser til at kontrollere disse anliggender.
Could the services perhaps ensure that when we arrive on a Monday the Dutch channel is also available?
Jeg anmoder Dem derfor indtrængende om at afgive med delelsen i dag og for det andet henvise til, at dette er en følge af den procedure, der følges ved modtagne dokumenter, nemlig at formanden nævner, at der er modtaget dokumenter og henviser så til bilaget, der senere findes ved protokollen.
documents received, which is that the President says that documents have been received and refers to the Annex that is later attached to the Minutes.
Vi nikker pænt ja og kan ikke kontrol lere, om der virkelig sker det, der er aftalt.
We all say yes, and have no way of checking whether what was agreed has actually been done.
Det kan jeg så ledes først afgøre officielt en dag senere.
It is only now, a day later, that I can of ficially see what has happened.
Det fører til den mærkelige situation, at tjenesterne i går efter plenarmødet og inden udvalgsmødet over for mig tilkendegav, at med delelsen var givet, og efter udvalgsmødet sagde, at med delelsen ikke var givet.
Because of this we had the unusual situation yesterday that, after the. plenary and be fore the committee meeting, the services informed me that the announcement had been made, then after the com mittee meeting they said that it had not been after all.
Denne form for misforståelser er noget rod.
These sorts of misunderstandings are, of course, ex tremely slipshod.
Vi har så ledes også en nederlandsk kanal på vores fjernsyn her i Strasbourg, men hver eneste uge, når jeg ankommer, er dér lukket for denne kanal. Det kræver flere telefonsamtaler for at få den nederlandske kanal til at virke.
President - I am told that in the new building this will not be a problem, and it is certainly unfortunate for you not to be able to receive Dutch television. (')
Vi er opmærksomme på situationen, og jeg kan forsikre Dem om, at denne meddelelse vil blive givet i dag.
We are well aware of the situation, and I can assure you that the announcement will be made today.
Forslag til Rådets forordning om et program for leve ring af landbrugsprodukter til Den Russiske Føderation (KOM(98)0725 - C4-0678/98-98/0343(CNS))
Proposal for a Council Regulation on a programme to supply agricultural produce to the Russian Federation (COM(98)0725 - C4-0678/98-98/0343(CNS))
Miller (PSE). - (EN) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne henvise til protokollen fra i går aftes og det indlæg, som den ny valgte skotske kollega her i Parlamentet kom med. I sit indlæg nævnte han udelukkende og ustandseligt Skotland.
Miller (PSE). - Madam President, I refer to last night's Minutes and the speech made by the newly elected colleague in this House from Scotland. In his speech he re ferred solely and continually to Scotland.
Fru formand, kunne De ikke gøre den nye kollega opmærksom på, at dette er et Europa-Parlament, og at han, hvis han ønsker at fortsætte med sine snævre natio nalistiske synspunkter, måske burde have været valgt til det skotske parlament?
Madam President, could you point out to the new colleague that this is a European Parliament and if he wants to continue with his narrow nationalist views maybe he should have been elected to the Scottish Parliament?
Colino Salamanca (PSE), ordfører for Udvalget om Landbrug og Udvikling af Landdistrikter. - (ES) Fru for mand, jeg vil på Landbrugsudvalgets vegne bede Parlamentet om at vedtage anmodningen om uopsættelig for handling i forbindelse med programmet for levering af landbrugsprodukter til Den Russiske Føderation i hen hold til den beslutning, som Parlamentet selv vedtog den 19. november.
Colino Salamanca (PSE), chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. - (ES) Madam Pres ident, on behalf of the Committee on Agriculture, I would like to call on the House to approve the request for urgent procedure for the programme to supply agricultural produce to the Russian Federation, in accordance with the resolution adopted by the House on 19 November.
Leveringen af landbrugsprodukter til visse regioner i Den Russiske Føderation og visse grupper, især arbejdsløse, syge og ældre, er presserende.
It ap pears that there is an urgent need to supply certain regions of the Russian Federation and certain groups - particularly the unemployed, sick and elderly - with agricultural produce.
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). - (FR) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne nævne et punkt på side 22 i protokollen.
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). - (FR) Madam President, I would like to make a further point concerning page 22 of the Minutes.
Som De husker, blev jeg efter afvisningen af den anmodning om fornyet udvalgsbehandling, som jeg fremsatte i overens stemmelse med artikel 129, forledt til at intervenere med henblik på at påvise konsekvenserne af Parlamentets af visning, og formanden gav mig ret i, at en fornyet ud valgsbehandling kunne finde sted, at betænkningen kunne henvises til fornyet udvalgsbehandling.
You will recall that after the rejection of my request that the report be referred back to committee, in accordance with Rule 129,1 felt I had to pointout the con sequences of a vote of rejection by Parliament, and the President agreed with me that there could be other requests for referral back to committee.
Dette er ikke nævnt.
This is not mentioned.
Jeg ønsker det ikke nævnt blot for at vise, at jeg havde ret, men jeg mener, at det bør nævnes, da der er risiko for, at spørgsmålet vil blive rejst igen i fremtiden.
I wish to have it recorded not because I was right but be cause the question might be repeated, and for future refer ence I think it would be good to record that this was stated.
Europa-Parlamentets forhandlinger
If not, I shall put it to the vote.
Landbrugsudvalget Parlamentet om at vedtage anmodningen om uopsættelighed.
President - If it was not mentioned, Mr Fabre-Aubrespy, it is because that is what the Rules say and so it was not considered necessary.
Jeg sætter straks anmodningen under afstemning.
(Parliament agreed to urgent procedure) (
For det første er der den klart opfattede manglende demokratiske kontrol i forbindelse med bedrageribekæmpelsen.
Garcia Arias (PSE). - (ES) Madam President, I would like to make a point relating to Question Time.
Dette Parlament vedtog i oktober i al mulig god tro Bosch-betænkningen, der opstillede en klar struktur for et kontor til bekæmpelse af svig - OLAF.
When we know which Commissioners are going to attend Question Time, we ask questions intended for those specific Com missioners.
Til trods for kom missionsformandens store ord tidligere på måneden i Bruxelles, da han bebudede en uafhængig institution til be kæmpelse af bedrageri, imødekommer dette forslag ikke Parlamentets krav.
But in this instance, the European Commission has decided that questions that were intended for Mr Van Miert, since they concerned competition policy, are to be answered by Mr Papoutsis, who is not going to at tend Question Time during this partsession.
Formanden. *- Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0502/98) af Elles for Budgetkontroludvalget om decharge til Kommissionen for gennemførelsen af De Europæiske Fællesskabers almindelige budget for regn skabsåret 1996.
President. - The next item is the report (A4-0502/98) by Mr Elles, on behalf of the Committee on Budgetary Con trol, on the discharge to the Commission in respect of implementation of the general budget of the European Com munities for.the 1996 financial year.
Muller (V). - (DE) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne under hen visning til Forretningsordenens artikel 129 anmode om, at betænkningen af hr. Elles henvises til fornyet behandling i udvalget.
Müller (V). - (DE) Madam President, I should like to re quest that Mr Elles's report be referred back to committee pursuant to Rule 129 of the Rules of Procedure.
Derfor beder jeg Dem om at kalde kollegerne tilbage endnu en gang, så de kan deltage i denne afstemning.
I would therefore ask you to call Members back so that they can take part in the vote.
Jeg tror, at begrundelserne er tilstrækkeligt kendt.
I think the reasons are sufficiently well known.
Jeg vil ikke trække sagen yderligere i langdrag. Tak.
I do not wish to prolong the procedure.
Den mest himmelråbende mangel på respekt for Parlamentet viste sig i forbindelse med ECHO-sagen, hvor den tekst, Parlamentet fik udleveret, var så stærkt censureret, at den var totalt ulæselig.
President - Yes indeed, we shall vote without delay, but after hearing one speaker for and one against, as provided for by the Rules.
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). - (FR) Fru formand, jeg kan kun tilslutte mig fru Müllers anmodning.
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). - (FR) Madam President, I can only agree with Mrs Müller's request.
Denne anmodning blev begrundet meget kort, og jeg skal gøre det lige så kort og blot sige, at jeg i går fremlagde grundene til, at denne henvisning til fornyet udvalgsbehandling er nød vendig.
Her explanation of the reasons for this request was brief. I too will be extremely brief as I explained yesterday why I considered a referral to be necessary.
Jeg er derfor for en sådan henvisning.
I am therefore in favour of it.
Dankert (PSE). - (NL) Fru formand, i marts formulerede vi betingelserne for at give Kommissionen decharge.
Dankert (PSE). - (NL) Madam President, in March we set out the conditions for the Commission to be given dis charge.
Kommissionen har i høj grad opfyldt disse krav.
The Commission has largely met those conditions, which means that there is now nothing to prevent us from doing what we said in March, namely giving dis charge.
Det be tyder, at der i øjeblikket ikke er noget i vejen for at gøre det, som vi i marts pressede på for at få gjort, nemlig at give decharge.
These factors can be summarised by the notion that flaws in management organisation have inevitably led to operational distortions in implementing policies.
(Parlamentet forkastede anmodningen om fornyet ud valgsbehandling)
(Parliament rejected the request for referral back to com mittee)
Og sidst men absolut ikke mindst er der de klart opfattede manglende effektive foranstaltninger til forbedring af den administrative og budgetmæssige forvaltning.
It is small wonder that staff morale in the Commission is at a low ebb.
Som bevidnet udsætter den uforholdsmæssige magt i relation til ansættelse og ressourceallokering den administrative struktur for potentiel politisk indblanding i alle forvaltningsspørgsmål, hvortil der ikke findes nogen pa rallel i medlemsstatemes offentlige administrationer.
In essence, not enough thought has been given since 1995 to how the Commission should be run. Well qualified and hard-working officials have in many cases been asked to do too much with too little.
Disse faktorer kan kort skitseres i opfattelsen, at svagheder i ledelsesorganisationen uundgåeligt har ført til operationelle forvridninger, når der var tale om at gennemføre politikkerne.
The secretive way in which high-level appointments are made has not helped. These issues must be resolved as soon as possible. sible.
Elles (PPE), ordfører. - (EN) Fru formand, jeg tager or det for at fremlægge min endelige betænkning om de charge for regnskabsåret 1996.1 sidste uge stemte et snævert flertal i Budgetkontroludvalget for at give decharge i en afstemning på tværs af partifarver.
Elles (PPE), rapporteur. — Madam President, I rise to present my final report on the 1996 discharge.
Ikke desto mindre er denne betænkning selv meget kritisk over for Kommissionens forvaltning af budgettet.
Last week in the Committee on Budgetary Control, a narrow margin came down in favour of giving discharge while voting across party lines.
Vi må nu afgøre, om denne kritik fortjener, at hele Parlamentet nægter de charge for gennemførelsen af dette budget.
We must now de cide whether these criticisms merit refusal to grant dis charge of this budget by the whole House.
') Aktuel og uopsættelig debat (indgivne beslutningsforslag): se protokollen. kollen.
First, the perceived lack of democratic control in the fight against fraud.
Det kan ikke undre nogen, at moralen hos Kommissionens personale befinder sig på et så lavt niveau. For egentlig har man ikke gjort sig nok tanker, siden 1995 om, hvordan Kommissionen bør drives.
But specific evidence found relating to the 1996 budget year in many policy areas continues to be revealed by colleagues in their reports to the committee, as well as by journalistic investigation in several newspapers.
Velkvalificerede og hårdtarbejdende tjenestemænd er i mange tilfælde blevet
Information re cently made available to Parliament by a courageous Commission official has confirmed many of our worst fears in several programmes.
bedt om at gøre for meget med for lidt. Den hemmelig hedsfulde måde, hvorpå der bliver ansat folk i højtstående stillinger, har ikke hjulpet meget på det.
(Applause) and can no longer be altered for that financial year - is something which the following criteria must decide: firstly, there must be a real improvement in the way in which thè European Union operates in the region; sec ondly, comprehensive information about the measures taken should also be provided, so that Parliament has a clear understanding of where improvements have been made and where the weaknesses remain.
Jeg vil derfor slutte af med en indtrængende anmodning på vegne af alle dem, der både inden og uden for Kom missionen ønsker at se moderniserede institutioner baseret på integritet, der er rede til at gennemføre euroen og hilser nye medlemmer østfra velkommen.
A vote to censure the Commission has been suggested by a few parliamentarians - who are not with us at this time - but it is not a course I would support.
At give de charge for regnskabsåret 1996 på dette tidspunkt ville kun kunne fortolkes som en hvidvaskning og et budskab om at fortsætte som før og således ignorere Parlamentets krav.
Why, then, did I vote in committee not to grant discharge to the Commission?
