Endvidere giver betænkningen os et klart overblik over de problemer, der er forbundet med gennemførelsen af udenrigspolitikken og den fælles sikkerhedspolitik. kerhedspolitik.
But let us accept things just as they are. In future, the political will of the Governments for joint action will continue to hold sway over the Common Foreign and Security Policy.
Jeg vil gerne i dag behandle tre hovedspørgsmål, der kan stilles i forbindelse med FUSP og den praktiske gennem førelse heraf.
On the other side of the coin, however, it can be said that where there is a will for collaboration, or at least where the chance exists for developing one, then the Community can make a useful contribution.
Det første er, hvad har vi gjort hidtil for at gøre noget ved de punkter, som Revisionsretten fremhæver i sin udtalelse?
The Court of Auditors has summed up the figures for previous years and the result is clear-cut: more than 90 % of the funds allocated for joint actions came from the EU budget.
For det andet, hvad er vores holdning
We in the European Parliament have therefore to take full responsibility vis-à-
Brittan, Sir Leon til gennemførelsen af den interinstitutionelle aftale fra juli 1997?
And that, in my opinion, should be the additional role of the European Commission, together with the support it can give the Commission's delegations in third world countries to carry out joint actions, or the support it can give special envoys from the Union.
For det tredje, hvad skal der gøres yderligere for at forbedre fælles FUSP-aktioner?
I have nearly finished. If Mrs Müller had been here today I would have left an oral amendment with her, which I would have submitted in due time and form.
Jeg vil nu sige noget om vores holdning til gennemførelsen af den interinstitutionelle aftale.
It only remains for me to congratulate the Court of Auditors and Mrs Müller, so, as the French would say, since we are in Strasbourg: Cour de comptes, Madame Müller, chapeau!
Takket være den interinstitutionelle aftale om finansiering af FUSP vil forsinkelsen af gennemførelsen af en fælles aktion i det mindste efter min mening blive væsentlig mindre.
It is therefore particularly important to emphasize, during the ratification debates which will take place in our various countries, the need to conect the division introduced by the Treaty of Amsterdam, as soon as possible, by finding the required technical solution so that the conditions of funding of the CFSP are suited to its intergovernmental nature.
Der er f.eks. ikke længere nogen reserve på budgettet.
The report also gives us a clear idea of the problems which exist in implement ing our common foreign and security policy.
Ikke desto mindre mener Kommissionen stadig, at budgetmyndigheden bør have det sidste ord at skulle have sagt i forbin delse med beslutning om en fælles aktion.
I should like today to deal with three key questions which can be asked about the CFSP and its practical implementa tion, the first of which is what have we done so far to tackle the points made by the Court of Auditors in its report.
Vi mener, at det skal ske på grundlag af den særlige finansieringsoversigt, der er udarbejdet af Kommissionens tjenestegrene.
Secondly, what is our approach to implementation of the interinstitutional agreement of July of this year? Thirdly, what is still to be done to improve CFSP joint actions?
Når vi betragter den generelle kontekst for FUSP, må vi ikke glemme, at det er Rådet, der har beføjelse til at træffe FUSP-beslutninger.
In looking at the general context of the CFSP, we should not forget that the power to take CFSP decisions lies with the Council.
Når det kommer til stykket, så er det Rådet, der træffer beslutning om fælles aktioner og derefter om, hvordan de skal finansieres.
It is, after all, the Council that decides on joint actions and it then decides how they should be financed.
Formandskabet har ansvaret for at gennemføre aktionerne, hvilket fremgår meget tydeligt af artikel 15 i Unionstraktaten.
It is the presidency that is responsible for implementing them, as is very clear by article J5 of the Union Treaty.
Kommissionen er kun ansvarlig for forvaltningen af aktionerne, fordi de udgiftsføres via Fællesskabets almindelige budget, som anført i artikel Jll i Unionstraktaten.
It is only because the costs of the actions are charged to the general Community budget that the job of administering them lies with the Commission, as provided by article Jll of the Union Treaty.
Denne arbejdsdeling har skabt problemer tidligere, og Revisionsretten har påpeget disse i sin udtalelse.
This division of responsibilities has created problems in the past and the Court of Auditors has identified them in its report.
Hvad har vi så egentlig gjort i 1997 for at gøre noget ved de punkter, som Revisionsretten fremhæver?
So what have we done in 1997 to tackle the points made by the Court?
For det første har Kommissionen anmodet budgetmyndigheden om be villinger til behørig forberedelse af hver enkelt fælles aktion, hvilket blev godkendt.
In the first place, the Commission has asked the budget authority for credits to be made available to prepare properly each joint action and it has obtained them.
I budgettet for 1998 bør der være ECU 50.000 på konto B 8014.
In the 1998 budget ECU 500, 000 should be on the line B 8014.
Til slut, hvad skal der gøres for at forbedre fælles FUSP-aktioner?
We on the Budget Control Committee know that imple mentation means supervision.
Jeg kan kun gentage, at efter vores opfattelse er det fornuftigt at inddrage Kom missionen længe før vedtagelsen af en fælles aktion.
What we want is the right to keep an eye on it, because it involves supervision of the use that is made of taxpayers' money.
Der er en vis overlapning i budgettet mellem FUSPbevillinger og andre bevillinger til f.eks. minerydnings- eller valgprocesaktioner.
But it is not just a matter of money either, Mr President; so we should now like to concentrate on sub-paragraph 5 of the draft resolution, which deserves special attention.
Nogle gange ønsker Kommissionen at gøre en politisk gestus ved at give ressourcer til internationale organisationer.
This is because if we send special personnel to observe elections in situ, we have to have a consistent procedure for the engagement of personnel.
Vi må sørge for, at Rådet ikke glemmer, at det skal styres, overvåges og evalueres omhyggeligt.
Those personnel not only have to travel from their own countries very quickly, they also need to be prepared, and prepared for the specific circumstances, because otherwise we shall be too late.
For det andet har Kommissionen derudover udarbejdet en særlig finansieringsoversigt for FUSP med en kode for den globale kontekst for hver aktion, herunder det økonomiske bidrag fra medlemsstaterne og fra andre internationale organisationer.
Secondly, in addition to that, the Commission has drawn up a special specific financial sheet for the CFSP which encodes the global context of each action, including financial contributions from the Member States and also from other international organizations.
Derefter har Kommissionen været i stand til at forbedre en række forhold i udsendelsen af særlige udsendinge.
Then the Commission has been able to make improvements on the manage-

Posselt (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg havde meldt mig til protokollen lige fra begyndelsen.
Posselt (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, I indicated at the beginning that I wanted to speak on the Minutes.
Jeg ville bare sige: På side 26 i protokollen er der anført, at jeg i går inden afstemningen om aktuelle og uopsættelige spørgsmål skulle have gjort hr. Cot opmærksom på, at de fælles beslutninger godt nok forelå på alle sprog, men ikke de oprindelige tekster.
I just wanted to say that page 26 of the Minutes indicates that before the vote on topical and urgent motions for resolutions I pointed out to Mr Cot that only the joint motions were avaUable in aU languages and not the motions on which they were based.
Hertil sagde hr. Cot, at det var en undtagelse, at der havde været oversættelsesvanskeligheder.
Mr Cot replied that this was an exception, and that there had been translation problems.
Bagefter forhørte jeg mig endnu en gang hos udleveringsstedet, og dér fik jeg udtrykkeligt at vide, at der kommer en ny regel for fremtiden, ifølge hvilken de oprindelige tekster til de fælles beslutninger ikke længere bliver oversat og fremlagt.
I made further enquiries at the documentation service after wards, and they specifically told me that a decision had been taken that the text of original motions on which joint motions were based was no longer to be translated and made available.
Det må jeg protestere imod,
I must protest against this, although I am

No 4-511/275 within the European Commission responsible for human rights and democratization
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). - (FR) Hr. formand, der er foreslået et mundtligt ændringsforslag.
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). - (FR) Mr President, an oral amendment has been proposed.
Ikke desto mindre mener jeg, det ville være mere korrekt at sætte dette mundtlige ændringsforslag under afstemning først for dernæst at sætte betænkningen som helhed under afstemning.
However I still think that it would be more correct to vote first on this oral amendment before voting on the whole report.
Jeg går personligt ind for dette mundtlige ændringsforslag, mens jeg tager stærke forbehold med hensyn til betænk ningen som helhed.
Personally, I am in favour of this oral amendment, however I have considerable reservations about the report as a whole.
Jeg vil derfor anmode Dem om at sætte betænkningen i sin helhed under afstemning, således som det er praksis, og at gøre det samme, hvad angår det mundtlige betænkningsforslag.
I will therefore ask you to proceed to the vote on the entire report as usual and also for the oral amendment.
Og det selv på den sidste dag af dette års session!
Even on the last day of the session this year!
Formanden. - Hr. Fabre-Aubrespy, jeg forsøger at gøre Parlamentets arbejde lidt lettere ved ikke at insistere på en formel overholdelse af alle regler, når jeg ser der er almindelig enighed.
President. - Mr Fabre-Aubrespy, I am trying to simplify the work of Parliament and not to insist on formalities when I see that there is general agreement.
Men hvis De ønsker det, har jeg intet imod at sætte forslaget under afstemning en gang til, for at vi kan være sikre på resultatet.
But, if you wish, I have no objection to holding another vote to confirm this.
For vi har stemt om det mundtlige ændringsforslag på samme måde, som vi har gjort mange gange før.
The vote was held, with the oral amendment, as is often the case.
Jeg kunne se, at hele Parlamentet var enig, der var ingen indsigelse nogetstedsfra.
I saw that the entire Chamber was in agreement and there was not a single objection.
Jeg sætter derfor nu det mundtlige ændringsforslag under afstemning. ning.
Let us now please vote on the amendment.
- til betænkning af Murphy (A4-0387/97)
Murphy report (A4-0387/97)
Titley (PSE), skriftlig. - (EN) Jeg støtter Kommissionens meddelelse om benchmarking og min kollega hr. Murphys arbejde med den.
By making the identification and resolving of inefficiencies in their work a central part of their work, companies can take control of improving their competitiveness.
(ES) Og, hr. formand, jeg beder Dem om at opfordre ordføreren for Budgetkontroludvalget til at give os det samtykke, som hun utvivlsomt ville gøre, hvis fru ordfører Müller var til stede.
Fabra Vallés (PPS). - (ES) Mr President, we were saying last night that Mrs Müller's report is a splendid report, but I must also emphasize that the Court of Auditors' report, to which it refers, deserved to be published in the Official Journal.
Ved at gøre konstatering og afhjælpning af ineffektive forhold i arbejdet til en central del af arbejdet kan virksomhederne selv gå ind og styre forbedringen af deres konkurrenceevne.
So the Commission idea to have a high level group advising on this approach is welcome, although it is right to ask that smaller businesses also be involved alongside larger firms, trade unions and consumers.
Derfor støtter jeg Kommissionens idé om at nedsætte en Gruppe på Højt Plan, som skal bistå med rådgivning om emnet, men små virksomheder bør også være med sam men med større virksomheder, fagforbund og forbrugere.
And I would ask you, Mr President, to invite the chairman. of the Committee on Budgetary Control to give the consent which Mrs Müller, who drafted the report, would give if she were here.
Theato (PPE), formand for Budgetkontroludvalget. -(DE) Hr. formand, det fremgik af debatten i går, at det er ønskværdigt, at udtalelsen offentliggøres i EF-tidende. Det ændrer egentlig ikke teksten.
I am glad that Mr Murphy points out how benchmarking can be used to identify what works well in some sectors where we in the EU outperform American and Japanese rivals in adding value to products and services such as food, drink and furniture.
Der er et indskud i punkt 7, der - såvidt jeg har erfaret - også er i ordførerens interesse.
Theato (PPE), Chairman of the Committee on Budgetary Control. - (DE) Mr President, it emerged from yesterday's debate that we considered it desirable for the opinion to be published in the Official Journal, but that does not alter the actual text This is an insertion into paragraph 7, and I understand that it reflects the rapporteur's intentions.
Jeg har også talt med andre medlemmer i Budgetkontroludvalget om det.
I have also spoken to other members of the Committee on Budgetary Control about this.
Indskudet, som blev foreslået af hr. Fabra Vallés i forbindelse med et mundtligt forslag, volder ingen problemer, støder ikke på modstand.
This insertion, which is the subject of an oral amendment by Mr Fabra Vallés, does not cause any problems and is not being opposed.
Jeg vil altså anbefale, at vi imødekommer det mundtlige forslag.
I would therefore recommend that we accept this oral amendment.
Aelvoet (V). - (NL) Fru Muller har bedt mig om at meddele, at hun helt kan tilslutte sig det mundtlige ændringsforslag.
Aelvoet (V). - (NL) Mrs Müller has asked me to say that she fully agrees with the oral amendment.
I dag kan mange andre lande fremstille produkter eller levere tjenesteydelser billigere, end vi kan i Europa.
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). - (FR) Mr President, the conditions under which we are proceeding to the vote have led me to speak.
Med benchmarking kan vi hele tiden være foran konkurrenterne.
Thank you for agreeing to my request.
Jeg håber, at Kommissionen via Gruppen på Højt Plan vil hjælpe industrien med at finde metoder til at gøre dette mere effektivt.
However I would have hoped that you would have us proceed formally to the vote for or against the report.
Formanden. - Er der nogen indsigelse imod, at jeg sætter hr. Fabra Vallés' mundtlige ændringsforslag under afstemning?
President. - Does Parliament have any objection to my putting the oral amendment from Mr Fabra Vallés to the vote?
Willockx (PSE), skriftlig. - (NL) FUSP, den Europæiske Unions fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, er, fire år efter at Maastricht-traktaten trådte i kraft, endnu ikke kommet helt op af starthullerne.
1998 budget, expressed its concern about the implementa­tion of EU financing for actions in connection with the return of refugees to Bosnia.
Jeg vil takke Dem, fordi De efterkom min anmodning; dog kunne jeg have ønsket, at De udtrykkeligt havde iværksat en afstemning for eller imod betænkningen.
As I say, expenditure is decided and the major decisions are taken at intergovernmental level, even though the Community budget is often called upon.
Der er tale om et af Den Europæiske Unions aktivitetsområder, hvor udgifterne vedtages på mellemstatsligt plan.
But it is not only the European Parliament which is concerned about the implementation of the CFSP.
Således bliver både udgifterne og de vigtigste beslutninger vedtaget på mellemstatsligt plan, samtidig med at disse udgifter ofte finansieres over fællesskabsbudgettet.
The Court of Auditors does not hesitate in its advice to take stock of three years' experience with joint actions as part of the CFSP, and to point the finger at continuing weak points and failings.
Også Revisionsretten tøver ikke med i sin udtalelse at gøre status over tre års erfaringer med fælles optræden inden for rammen af FUSP og at pege på de stadigvæk eksisterende svage punkter og mangler.
The core of the CFSP problem is the conflict between the exclusive powers of the Council to approve CFSP actions, and the authority of the European Parliament to release the necessary resources for these.
I rapporten anføres det i øvrigt, at det er ca. 75 % af udgifterne, der finansieres over fællesskabsbudgettet, og Europa-Parlamentet udleder naturligvis heraf, at det ikke kun bør inddrages i beslutningerne, men også i hele kontrollen .med udgifterne.
The report also indicates that some 75 % of spending is taken from the Community budget, so of course our Parliament concludes that not only should it be included in decision­making, but also in the whole process of spending control.
For nylig vedtoges - i øvrigt under kritisable retlige omstændigheder - en interinstitutionel aftale inden for rammerne af Amsterdamtraktaten, der tager sigte på at ændre de forhold, under hvilke den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik gennemføres.
Recently, in conditions which were open ■ to criticism, an interinstitutional agreement placing itself within the framework of the Amsterdam Treaty was adopted, and this agreement aims to alter the conditions in which this common foreign and security policy is imple­mented.
Vi har rettet en kritik imod iværksættelsen af denne aftale.
We were critical of the implementation of this interinstitutional agreement.
Allerede i 1994 har jeg som ordfører for betænkningen »Finansiering af FUSP« peget på det eksisterende »spændingsfelt« mellem FUSP's indholdsmæssige beføjelser, som beror hos Rådet, og budgetbeføjelsen.
As rapporteur of the report on the funding of the CFSP as far back as 1994,1 pointed to the existing area of tension between substantive authority for the CFSP, which is in the hands of the Council, and budgetary power.
Jeg gjorde dengang udtrykkeligt opmærksom på, at ingen er tjent med en slæbende konflikt og permanent mundhuggeri mellem Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet.
At the time I warned urgently that no one benefits from a persistent, permanent squabbling between European Par­liament and Council.
EU-borgere kan ikke være tjent med endeløse diskussioner om, hvem der er beføjet til hvilken opgave, men har brug for en effektivt fungerende Union, som også påtager sig ansvaret udadtil gennem en slagfærdig udenrigspolitik.
EU citizens are not the least bit interested in an endless discussion about who is responsi­ble for what part, but want to see a Union which operates efficiently, and which also canies out its responsibilities to the outside world by means of a powerful foreign policy.
Vi kritiserer endvidere Muller-betænkningen, fordi ind faldsvinklen langt snarere er ideologisk end finansiel.
And what is more, we are criticizing Mrs Müller's report because it has a perspective which is much more ideologi­cal than financial.
Meget ofte giver Revisionsrettens rapporter, som udgør en kilde til oplysninger, der vil gøre det muligt at måle, hvor lemfældigt fællesskabsmidlerne ofte forvaltes, anledning til forslag af et ideologisk tilsnit, snarere end til kritik eller reformforslag på det finansielle plan, hvilket burde være tilfældet; dette gælder den foreliggende betænkning.
Quite often the reports from the Court of Auditors, which provide us with information enabling us to measure the degree to which community funds are sometimes employed less than strictly, give rise not to criticism on a financial basis, nor to financial reform proposals ­ as they ought ­ but to ideological proposals. And this is true of the present report.
Der for har vi, hr. formand, stemt imod, selvom dette ikke er kommet ordendigt til udtryk som følge af den måde, hvorpå De har ladet afstemningen afvikle.
This is why, Mr President, we have voted against, although that wiU not be obvious thanks to the conditions in which we have proceeded to the vote.
Er det hermed sagt, at der mellem 1994 og i dag ikke er sket noget som helst?
Does this mean that between 1994 and now, absolutely nothing has happened?
Har problemerne med hensyn til EU-forvaltningen af Mostar, den europæiske valgobservationsenhed ved valget i Palæstina og den højtstående repræsentant for Bosnien-Hercegovina da slet ikke ført til noget som helst resultat?
Have the difficulties concerning the EU administration of Mostar, the European electoral unit for the Palestinian elections, and management of budget appropriations of the post of High Representative for Bosnia led to nothing?
