Ghilardotti (PSE). — (IT) Hr. formand, på torsdag vedtager vi et budget, som jeg tilslutter mig, der modigt træffer nogle valg.
Liikanen, Member of the Commission. — I am happy to reply to both of the questions now.
Som allerede hr. Samland erindrede om, indebærer det en indskrænkning af de administrative udgifter og i stedet en forøgelse af de politiske udgifter, det være sig interne eller eksterne.
As far as the comment of the chairman of the Committee on Budgets is concerned, of course there was some mild criticism of the committee.
Rådets og Parlamentels andenbehandling har ført til større enighed om en række emner: f.eks. vil Kommissionen med hensyn til fællesskabsagenturerne udarbejde en beretning om de krævede forbedringer i harmoniseringen af de finansielle bestemmelser.
The second readings of Council and Parliament have permitted a broadening of the common ground on a number of issues: for example, with regard to the Community agencies, the Commis­sion will provide a report on the required improvements in the harmonization of their internal financial rules.
Der er også fundet en løsning på finansieringen af Fælles skabets samarbejde med naboerne i Middelhavsområdet.
As far as the transport network is concerned, the budget will be close to the level proposed by the Commission.
Liikanen ansøgningen skal respektere den interinstitutionelle aftale fra 1993.
In general terms I think that cooperation has been rather good and this exception just confirms the rule.
Man må bestræbe sig på at få valuta for pengene, og turistpolitikken vil blive en af de første sager.
As far as Mr Cornelissen's question is concerned, I want to say that on tourism, the position of the Commission is clear.
Når vi har gode programmer, får fuld valuta for pengene og får gode analyser, vil vi være parate til at gå videre med fremtidige programmer.
When we have good programmes and good value for money and when we receive favourable assessments we will be ready to go ahead with future programmes.
Afstemningen finder sted torsdag kl. 10.00.
The vote will be taken on Thursday at 10 a.m.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0308/95) af Christodoulou for Budgetudvalget om med delelse fra Kommissionen til budgetmyndigheden om rets grundlag og maksimumsbeløb (SEK(94)1106 - C4-0139/94).
President. — The next item is the report (A4-0308/95) by Mr Christodoulou, on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, on the Commission's communication to the budgetary authority concerning legal bases and maximum amounts (SEC(94)1106 -C4-0139/94).
Christodoulou (PPE), ordfører. — (EL) Hr. formand, dette er et ret teknisk spørgsmål med karakteristika, som angelsakserne betegner med ordet »esoteric«.
Thus, until the matter has been resolved from what could be called a strategic standpoint, we will have to adopt a more short-term approach and the proposal being made is that we should follow a procedure that can be applied straight away.
Det er et græsk ord, men den engelske betydning er en helt anden end den græske. Men dette er altså et »esoterisk« spørgsmål, som vi imidlertid er nødt til at tage op, fordi det har langt større betydning, end mange sikkert går og tror.
It was decided not to apply the procedure to the 1996 budget because we are too close to the conclusion of the budget process, but I should like to hope that by the 1997 budget — Mr Brinkhorst has expressed his wish to deal with that problem — we will have found the right way to deal with the short-term problem.
Lad mig slutte med at se fremad mod næste år.
So, what is this approach?
Institutionerne må fortsætte samarbejdet med stringens og effektivitet inden for en konstruktiv dialog, hvor man respekterer de enkelte institutioners rettigheder og forpligtelser.
It consists in beginning a process of tripartite dialogue with a view to establishing some more appropriate provision.
Og der skal skabes et solidt grundlag for at sikre en vellykket budgetprocedure for 1997. Et af nøgleelementerne skal være en grundig interinstitutionel drøftelse om en klassifikation af udgifterne.
Remember that the need for this agreement on legal bases was also stressed by the Council during the tripartite dialogue in April 1995, and the Commission's statement, a very interesting one regarding legal bases and maximum amounts, could be very useful in helping to formulate the base for dealing with the problem.
Samtidig er Domstolens afgørelse yderligere bevis på. at traktatens bestemmelser vedrørende budgettet skal ændres på den forestående regeringskonference.
Christodoulou (PPE), rapporteur. — (EL) Mr President, the subject is somewhat technical and has characteristics of the type that, in English, is called 'esoteric'.
Jeg deler den opfattelse, der er blevet udtrykt af mange af de ærede medlemmer.
It is a Greek word, but its meaning in English is quite different from what it means in Greek.
Alle deltagere i konferencen skal vise større beslutsomhed på dette område.
So this is an 'esoteric' subject which, however, we must deal with because it is much more important than many may think.
Cornelissen (PPE). — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg har forståelse for, at kommissæren ikke kan besvare alt på de få minutters taletid, som han har.
And this, because the proposed short-term procedure does not modify the legal texts and does not disturb the present division of responsibility between the two arms of the Budget Authority.
Mit spørgsmål er, om han vil svare skriftligt, når han nu ikke kan give noget svar på mit konkrete spørgsmål.
But neither does it prejudge the upgrading of Parliament's role we are striving for via the statutory changes.
For, hr. formand, jeg lægger som parlamentariker vægt på at få et svar på de spørgsmål, som jeg stiller her i Forsamlingen.
Quite simply, in accordance with Parliament's priorities expressed — I repeat — in its resolution of 5 April 1995, we are trying to establish a procedure that will ensure the unimpeded operation of the budget and will avoid conflict between the two sides.
Der findes ingen lovmæssig imødegåelse af problemet.
Mr President, there is no institutional approach to the issue.
Ganske vist blev der indført en procedure på grundlag af fælleserklæringen af 30. juni 1982, men den var ikke i stand til at løse problemet.
A procedure has of course been established on the basis of the joint declaration of 30 June 1982, but that was not enough to settle the problem.
Denne ordning har aldrig fungeret tilfredsstillende, da den hverken fjerner de egentlige uoverensstemmelser mellem de to grene af budgetmyndigheden eller giver nogen løsninger på problemet, hvilket har rent praktiske årsager, såsom upræcise definitioner og en meget streng tidsplan.
That provision has never been applied satisfactorily, because on the one hand it does not eliminate the essential disagreements between the two sides of the Budget Authority, and on the other hand, for purely practical reasons, because of unclear definitions and in the face of a very tight schedule, it does not solve the problem.
Den nuværende fremgangsmåde kan derfor ikke udgøre en holdbar løsning, fordi de gældende bestemmelser har nogle indbyggede svagheder, som når som helst ville kunne forstyrre den skrøbelige balance, man søger at skabe mellem de to grene af budgetmyndigheden.
Consequently, the present approach cannot constitute a viable solution because the current provisions embody inherent weaknesses that can at any time disturb the delicate balance sought between the two sides of the Budget Authority.
Dette er et forsøg på at nå frem til en fornuftig måde at løse problemet på, da spørgsmålet om retsgrundlag på længere sigt giver problemer.
We make all this effort to be able to reach some way of resolving the issue in a reasonable way, and the question of legal bases then constantly creates problems.
Endvidere harmonerer denne situation ikke med Den Europæiske Unions udvikling efter Maastrichttraktaten og udtrykker ikke Europa-Parlamentets grundlæggende målsætninger, der er formuleret i beslutningen af 17. maj 1995. Jeg tænker her på beslutnings forslaget af Bourlanges og Martin.
Moreover, this situation does nothing to further the European Union's development after the Maastricht Treaty, and does not reflect the European Parliament's aspirations as expressed in its resolution of 17 May 1995, namely the Bourlanges-Martin resolution.
Liikanen, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Jeg vil med glæde svare på begge spørgsmål nu.
For that reason, our view of the matter must be based on a two-sided approach, as explained in the report.
Først og fremmest den langsigtede strategi.
First of all we have the long-term approach.
Den endelige løsning på problemet synes ikke at gå gennem en forbedring af den nuværende situation, men snarere gennem en via traktaten forbedret budgetprocedure, en opnormering af budgetmyndighedens rolle generelt og Parlamentets ligestillede deltagelse i lovgivningsproceduren. En forbedring af den interinstitutionelle aftale vil ikke — det viser erfaringen — løse de problemer, der opstår, fordi forholdene omkring retsgrundlagene er så flydende.
It is considered that a definitive solution of the problem will not be achieved via some kind of improvement of the situation prevailing today, but must involve an improvement via the Treaty of the budget procedure itself, upgrading the role of the Budget Authority as a whole and ensuring Parliament's participation on equal terms in the
Hvad angår transportnettet vil budgettet ligge tæt på det niveau, der blev foreslået af Kommissionen. Det gælder ikke for de øvrige net.
It is also evident that the procedure proposed creates obliga tions to monitor the outcomes of the credits registered, to see that they are taken up within the specified deadlines of no more than three financial years.
Min kritik gælder til dels også reserverne, fordi projekterne vil blive forsinkede, hvis der er store reserver. Jeg synes generelt, at der har været et rimeligt godt samarbejde, og at denne undtagelse blot bekræfter reglen.
Thus, projects started as original or preliminary must be monitored very closely by Parliament, to ascertain exactly how they are to be implemented so that they will become genuine Union activities.
Hvad angår hr. Cornel issens spørgsmål vil jeg sige, at Kom missionen har en klar holdning til turisme.
Adoption of the pro posed procedure does not mean that we are depriving the Budget Authority of the right to register credits in the budget.
Vi er ikke imod en turistpolitik.
That will still be possible.
Christodoulou generelle problemer finder vi også spørgsmålet om retsgrundlag og maksimumsbeløb.
Mr Christodoulou's report, which is now on the agenda, together with the position of the Council, now opens the door for a joint approach, also to the question of legal bases.
lovtidende bar alene parlamentsformandens underskrift — uden kontrasignatur fra republikkens præsident — var finans loven. Dette er naturligvis nu fortid, men for mig er det et symbol på den betydning, som budgettet i sig selv har som retsgrundlag.
Colom i Naval (PSE). - (ES) Mr President, I firstly wish to congratulate Mr Christodoulou on his excellent report — and I do not say this as a mere formality, but sincerely.
Det er besluttet, at denne procedure ikke skal anvendes for 1996-budgettet, fordi vi er så tæt på at have afsluttet budgetproceduren, men jeg håber — og hr. Brinkhorst har erklæret sig villig til at tage dette problem op — at vi med budgettet for 1997 vil få en fornuftig løsning på det kortsigtede problem.
I would illustrate this with an example from the history of my own country: under the Constitution of Spain's Second Republic, the legal basis of the budget was the budget itself; the only law published in the Official Bulletin of the State and signed only by the President of Parliament — without the countersignature of the President of the Republic — was the budget law.
Hvad går denne løsning så ud på?
Naturally, that was all a long time ago; nevertheless, it is a symbol, in my view, of the importance of the budget in itself as a legal basis.
Det anbefales, at der indledes en trepartsforhandling med henblik på at finde frem til en ordning.
In view of that, I think a procedure should be established by the two sides, which would allow that dialogue to take place.
Der skal her gøres opmærksom på, at også Rådet påpegede nødvendigheden af en aftale om retsgrundlag under trepartsmødet i april 1995. og Kommissionens meddelelse, som er en meget interessant meddelelse om retsgrundlag og maksimumsbeløb, kunne være meget nyttig ved formuleringen af et grundlag for problemets løsning.
Liikanen, Member of the Commission. — Mr President, perhaps first and foremost we should discuss the topic which is the subject of the report, that is to say the question of the legal basis. Before further topics are added to the discussion, it would certainly be worthwhile agreeing on the subject with the parties involved separately.
Men jeg skal ikke gå ind på tekniske detaljer.
However, I do not wish to enter into technical details.
Jeg mener, således som hr. Christodoulou anfører i sin betænkning, at der mangler et ståsted på kort sigt og en løsning på langt sigt.
I believe that as Mr Christodoulou says in his report, there is a need for both a short-term, stopgap solution and a long-term solution.
En langsigtet løsning, der kun kan opnås gennem forhandling mellem de to instanser inden for budgetmyndigheden om en aftale, der bringer udviklingen af budgetlovgivningen op på det niveau, som vi finder, at den skal have under samtidig udvikling af et almindeligt system for fælles lovgivning i De Europæiske Fællesskaber.
And a long-term solution can only be achieved through the negotiation, by the two arms of the budgetary authority, of an agreement which raises the standard of budgetary legislation to the level we wish to see, while at the same time promoting the development of the general system of co-legislation in the European Community.
Regeringskonferencen — hvorpå Parlamentet beklageligvis kun vil blive repræsenteret som observatør — må tage dette spørgsmål op, og vi må derfor anmode Rådet om at gribe ind på dette punkt for at udvikle sin rolle, fordi vi naturligvis uden Rådet er dømt til fiasko og ikke vil kunne løse et problem, der bunder i de grundlæggende traktater, og som ikke har nogen mening efter indførelsen af de direkte valg i 1979.
There is a need for this matter to be tackled at the Intergovernmental Conference — in which, unfortunately, the European Parliament will take part only as an observer. And there is a need, therefore, to call on the Council to take its share of responsibility for this matter, since clearly, without the support of the Council, there is a danger of failing to resolve this problem, which has dragged on since the signing of the founding Treaties, and the existence of which has made no sense since the introduction of direct elections in 1979.
Liikanen, medlem af Kommissionen. — (EN) Hr. formand, hr. Christodoulous betænkning drejer sig om et teknisk spørgsmål, men det betyder ikke. at det er uden betydning.
Liikanen, Member of the Commission. — Mr President, Mr Christodoulou's report relates to a technical matter, but it does not mean that it is of little importance.
Det er et emne, der har stor betydning for procedurerne mellem Rådet og Parlamentet.
It is an issue of great importance in our procedures between the Council and Parliament. ment.
Parlamentet tager således initiativet og indbyder de andre institutioner til dialog. Såfremt der ikke findes en global løsning, må vi indføre en ad hoc-trepartsprocedure.
Santer, President of the Commission. — (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, exactly one month ago, in the debate organized by Parliament on the state of the European Union, I set out before the House the framework for our action.
For den foreslåede kortfristede procedure indebærer ingen ændringer af lovtekster, og der rokkes ikke ved den nuværende magtfordeling mellem budgetmyndighedens to grene.
I described the major challenges facing us in the coming year and the Commission's new working methods to meet them.
Men der træffes heller ingen beslutning om den opnormering af Parlamentets rolle, som ønskes gennemført via institutionelle ændringer.
I said that there was a need to concentrate on the real political priorities and, to this end, to do less but do better.
Formålet er simpelthen, i overensstemmelse med Parlamentets prioriteter, der som sagt er formuleret i dets beslutning af 5. april 1995, at finde frem til en procedure, der kan sikre en uhindret gennemførelse af budgettet og afværge konflikter mellem de to grene af budgetmyndigheden.
This was precisely the approach pursued by the Commission in implementing its work programme for 1995 and drawing up its new programme for 1996. In this way, I wish to steer Europe along the road to progress.
Kravet om et retsgrundlag for gennemførelsen af fællesskabs foranstaltninger og undgåelsen af maksimumsbeløb i lovgivningen blev fastlagt i fælleserklæringen af 1982.
The requirement of a legal base for implementation of significant Community actions and the avoidance of maximum amounts in legal acts have been agreed in the Joint Declaration of 1982.
Sidenhen er disse principper imidlertid ikke altid blevet fulgt.
But both these principles have since been only imperfectly applied.
Et betydeligt antal fællesskabsaktiviteter er blevet finansieret uden det nødvendige retsgrundlag, og som De udmærket ved, er maksimumsbeløb blevet erstattet med »beløb, der skønnes nødven dige«.
A significant number of Community activities have been funded without a legal base and maximum amounts were replaced, as you well know, by 'amounts deemed necessary'.
I den interinstitutionelle aftale af 1993 bekræftede de tre institutioner ikke blot principperne i fælleserklæringen fra 1982, men påtog sig at sørge for en bedre gennemførelse af disse principper.
In the Interinstitutional Agreement of 1993 the three institutions not only confirmed that the principles of the 1982 declaration were still valid, but they also undertook to improve application of these principles.
Derfor fremlagde Kommissionen i juli 1994 en meddelelse til budgetmyndighederne med konkrete forslag til forbedringer og med en opfordring til at få en ny aftale i stand mellem institutionerne vedrørende disse spørgsmål.
That is why the Commission submitted to the budgetary authority in July 1994 a communication which proposes concrete steps for improvement and invites them to seek a new arrangement between institutions on these questions.
Sådanne referencebeløb vil få en fremtrædende plads i budgetproceduren.
What have been the results of our action in 1995?
Vedtagelsen af den foreslåede procedure betyder ikke, at vi fratager budgetmyndigheden retten til at opføre bevillinger på budgettet.
The Commission has been committed to taking Europe forward in all the key areas that are decisive for our future, in accordance with the broad guidelines which I submitted to Parliament at the beginning of the year.
Hr. Christodoulous betænkning, som nu er på dagsordenen, vil sammen med Rådets holdning åbne døren for en fælles fremgangsmåde også vedrørende spørgsmålet om retsgrundlag. lag.
I would point out that a number of important breakthroughs have been made in the past twelve months. In at least six areas, all of them essential, we have made progress.
Colom i Naval (PSE). - (ES) Hr. formand, først vil jeg takke hr. Christodoulou for hans fremragende betænkning, og det er ikke blot tomme ord, det er alvorligt ment.
An important step forward was taken in the preparations for economic and monetary union.
Jeg mener at der er tale om en betænkning, der — på en vis måde — er typisk for denne forsamling, eftersom den, selvom den tilsyneladende omhandler et meget teknisk spørgsmål — der næsten kun er for indviede — efter min opfattelse viser det væsentlige ved lovgivningsmagten, og som følge heraf det repræsentative demokrati, som vi søger at udvikle i Den Europæiske Union.
Last May, the Commission published its Green Paper on the introduction of the single currency, thereby opening a major debate on the practical preparations and the precise timetable for the implementation of the third phase provided for by the Treaty on European Union.
Kommissionen er derfor glad for opfordringen i hr. Christodoulous betænkning til en trilog om dette spørgsmål.
The Joint Declaration of 6 March this year provided a first part as it agrees that 'reference amounts' can be part of those legislative acts which are adopted by codecision.
Retsgrundlaget for et budget og de handlinger, der udføres i henhold til dette, er et af de væsentligste punkter i ethvert demokrati.
Such refer ence amounts will have a privileged position in the budget procedure.
Jeg vil derfor bede ham præcisere dette, så vi ved, hvad vi skal foretage os.
And the single currency will bring benefits in terms of both the economy and employ ment.
Liikanen, medlem af Kommissionen. — (FI) Hr. formand, der er måske grund til først og fremmest at drøfte det forhold, som har været emnet for betænkningen, dvs. spørgsmålet om retsgrundlag.
new strategies has strengthened Europe's presence on the world stage. I would mention as examples the agreements which we have set in train with the United States, Russia, Japan and China, and also MERCOSUR and the countries of Asia.
Inden man begynder at drøfte andre emner, bør man nok aftale dette enkeltvis med de andre parter.
The Barcelona Conference, to which the Commission made an important contribution, represented a further step forward.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
I do not wish the Commission's efforts in the social field to be forgotten.
Beskæftigelsen er stadig vores førsteprioritet.
I would mention as an example here the framework initiative launching a debate on social protection.
Kommissionen har været meget aktiv i gennemførelsen af de fem prioriteter, der blev defineret af Det Europæiske Råd i Essen.
I would also draw attention to the communication on the information and consultation of workers.
Dette regnskabsår vil munde ud i en enkelt redegørelse, der forelægges for Det Europæiske Råd i Madrid.
These two documents will form the starting-point for discussions on issues which are at the heart of the Member States' concerns.
Det handler her om en ny måde at angribe beskæftigelsesproblemerne på globalt på europæisk plan.
Let us also remember the progress made with regard to equal opportunities, the elderly and the disabled.
Det er en premiere, skal det understreges.
The Commission will continue to defend these advances vigorously before the Council.
ØkoFin-Rådet og Rådet af socialministre har sammen for statsog regeringscheferne fremlagt deres analyse af iværksættelsen af medlemsstaternes flerårige planer.
The House is well aware of our commitment to the peace process in the Middle East, and now to that in former Yugoslavia.
Denne vilje til at gøre analysen og midlerne til bekæmpelse af arbejdsløsheden til en fælles sag giver store forhåbninger.
Europe is the world's foremost commercial power: too often, however, its common foreign and security policy fails to match its economic might.
Afstemnineen finder sted i dag kl. 12.30.
The Commission regrets this deeply.
Hr. formand, med hensyn til den frie bevægelighed for personer har Kommissionen påtaget sig sit ansvar.
The Commission considers that it has fulfilled its tasks within the scope of its responsibilities.
Den har forelagt tre direktivforslag med juridisk udgangspunkt i artikel 100 A snarere end den tredje søjle.
At the very start of its mandate, the Commission realized that it needed to reorganize its working methods.
Disse forslag omhandler afskaffelse af kontrol af personer ved de indre grænser, ret for borgere fra tredjelande til at rejse inden for Unionen, og tilpasning af den afledte ret med hensyn til ind- og udrejse.
It provided itself with more effective tools and took initiatives in the fields of administrative and financial management and the fight against fraud.
Regeringskonferencen næste år vil dominere vores agenda.
I am aware that the House attaches a great deal of importance to these issues.
Den er blevet forberedt i 1995 af diskussioner i refleksiongruppen under forsæde af hr. Westendorp.
It is Parliament's rightful task to ensure the good management of public funds.
