Europa-Parlamentets holdning spiller en stor rolle i debatten om offentlige indkøb, og jeg mener, at vi med denne betænkning har ydet et godt bidrag til diskussionen på området.
The opinion of the European Parliament is playing a big role in the debate on public demand, and I think that with this report we have made a good contribution to the discussion within this sphere.
Jeg ser frem til en videre debat, som vil komme på baggrund af Kommissionens grønbog og Parlamentets betænkning.
I look forward to further debate which will come on the basis of the Commission's green book and Parliament's recommendations.
Giansily (UPE). - (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, sektoren for offentlige indkøb i vores lande udgør ECU 720 milUarder om året, eller om man vil 11 % af EU's bruttonationalprodukt.
Giansily (UPE). - (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the public procurement sector in our countries represents ECU 720 billion per year, or if you prefer, 11 % of the gross domestic product of the European Union.
Sektoren er efter etablering af en EUlovgivning blevet åben for konkurrence i EU, og det er godt, både for forbrugerne og for virksomhederne.
Following the implementation of European legislation, this sector is open to community competition, and this is a good thing, both for consumers and for businesses.
Når Unionen allerede har gjort betydeUge fremskridt med at starte sin politik inden for offentlige indkøb, er det også nødvendigt, at direktiverne kontrolleres og iværksættes på en mere effektiv måde og især ved, hvis det er muligt, at uddele væsentlige straffe til dem, der ikke respekterer reglerne, for eksempel ved at forbyde virksomheder, der overtræder loven, at indgive tilbud i en given periode.
If the European Union has already made considerable progress in the implementation of its policy in the area of public procurement, the directives also need to be monitored and more efficiently implemented by putting in place, if need be, significant sanctions for those who do not respect the rules, for example, by forbidding offending companies from bidding for tenders for a certain period of time.
Langen (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, hvad skal vi egentlig bruge en europæisk juridisk ramme om de offentlige indkøb til?
Langen (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, why do we need a European legal framework for public contracts?
Det er en vigtig del af det europæiske indre marked, og Kommissionen har i grønbogen forsøgt at gøre status.
This is an important part of the European internal market and in the Green Paper the Commission has tried to carry out a stocktaking exercise.
Men vi har også brug for den, fordi der skal være sikkerhed for rationel anvendelse af offentlige midler, et gennemskueligt og fair udbudssystem, konkurrence blandt dem, der afgiver tilbud, og så fri adgang som muligt for virksomhederne til det store marked for offentlige indkøb, hvor der omsættes for mere end ECU 700 milliarder.
But we also need it to ensure the rational deployment of public funds, a transparent and fair contracts system, competition among suppliers and maximum access by companies to the enormous procurement market, which is worth over ECU 700 billion.
Sikres konkurrencen ikke, er der risiko for korruption, kunstigt høje priser, unfair behandling af konkurrenter og tillige fejlinvesteringer.
If we cannot guarantee a competitive system, then will shall face the threat of corruption, excessive prices, unfair treatment of competitors and even bad investments.
Derfor er det rigtigt, at vi beskæftiger os med denne emnekreds.
It is therefore important that we should address ourselves to this matter.
På internationalt plan bør Kommissionen helt bestemt give tredjelande mulighed for at få adgang til de offentlige indkøb i Unionen, men ud fra et grundlag, der bygger på fuld gensidighed.
On an international level, the European Commission must act in such a way as to enable third countries to have access to public procurement contracts, certainly, but on the basis of complete reciprocity.
Med henblik på den kommende udvi delse med de central- og østeuropæiske lande er det på samme måde afgørende, at ansøgerlandene inden for en rimelig tidsfrist overtager de aktuelle regler, der gælder for offentlige indkøb.
Similarly, with the prospect of the future membership of eastern and central European states to the Union, it is essential that the candidates for membership accept the current regulations applied to public procurement contracts within a reason able period of time.
Det er også absolut nødvendigt, at Kommissionen, af hensyn til de små og meUemstore virksomheder, inden for WTO kæmper for at opnå en forhøjelse af grænseværdierne, der afgør anvendelsen af direktiverne.
It is also essential, in the interests of our small and mediums sized enterprises, that the Com mission, within the context of the WTO, fights to obtain an increase in the limits upon which the implementation of the directives are conditional.
Kommissionen har redegjort for erfaringerne med det hidtidige system.
The Commission has described its experience with the previous system.
Kun 3 % af aUe offentlige udbud i EU går til virksomheder i andre EU-medlemsstater.
Only 3 % of public contracts were awarded on a transborder basis.
Omsætteisen af de juridiske bestemmelser til national ret er gået i stå, heUer ikke retshjælpsprocedurerne i Europa er af samme værdi.
The conversion of legal provisions into national law has become bogged down and even the European system of mutual legal recognition is lacking in equivalence.
Procedurerne er bureaukratiske og vanskelige at have med at gøre navnlig for de små og mellem store virksomheder.
These procedures are bureaucratic and are not easily understood, particularly by SMEs.
Derfor fungerer det indre marked ikke på dette område, og det er vigtigt, at vi her fremsætter konkrete forslag til videreudvikling.
As a result, the internal market does not function correctly in this area and it is now important for us to make practical proposals to remedy the situation.
HvUke forslag fremsætter Kommissionen så?
In fact, we consider this issue is not relevant here.
Først foretager den en relativ pessimistisk vurdering, idet den nævner medlemsstaternes manglende overholdelse af retten som
But, in conclusion, may I thank Mr Michael Tappin for the quality of his report and for the work he has accomplished, and also for having taken into account our thoughts and comments in the formulation of his text and in that of the explanatory memorandum.
Endelig beder vores gruppe, hr. formand, om delt afstemning for betænkningens punkt 5, som vi ikke kan god kende.
Riis-Jørgensen (ELDR). - (DA) Mr President, I would like to thank the chairman, Mr Tappin, for his painstaking work with this report.
Vi mener i virkeligheden ikke, at denne problematik hører hjemme her.
He has been very receptive to the various political views in this area.
Men for at slutte vil jeg gerne takke Michael Tappin for kvaliteten i hans betænkning og for
On a more positive side, it wants to promote education and the introduction of information technology in order to improve transparency for the benefit of SMEs.
Giansily også den offentlige service opfylder visse kvalitetskriterier, som mennesker har brug for.

nontransparent market and unequal treatment of suppliers.
Jeg er glad for, at betænkningsordføreren, hr. Tappin, var villig til at høre disse punkter, men beklageligvis blev størstedelen af vores forslag forkastet i budgetudvalget.
It is necessary, therefore, in order to obtain better conditions of competition and with a view to completion of the internal market, that the Commission should look at the implementation and execution of the directives.
FORSÆDE: Georgios ANASTAS S OPOULOS Næstformand
IN THE CHAIR: MR ANASTASSOPOULOS Vice-President
Paasilinna (PSE). - (FI) Ærede hr. formand, jeg takker først hr. Tappin for en vidtstrakt og godt forberedt betænkning, hvor der fremhæves problempunkter vedrørende Kommissionens Grønbog om offentlige indkøb.
Paasilinna (PSE). - (FI) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first I would like to thank Mr Tappin for his excellent report, which raises the problems to do with the Commission's Green Paper on public procurement.
Betænkningen er ganske vigtig, da markedsandelen for offentlige indkøb, som sagt lige før, er ECU 720 miUiarder af EU's bruttonationalprodukt.
The report is especially important because, as has just been said, public procurement accounts for ECU 720 billion of EU gross domestic product.
En anden ting, jeg meget gerne vil påpege, er, at det er vigtigt, at der ikke er tvivl om fortolkningen af direktiverne.
Another thing which I would very much like to emphasize is the importance of there being no doubt about the interpretation of the directives.
Derfor bør Kommissionen overveje en mere ensartet udformning af direktiverne ved fremtidige revisioner og dermed udelukke tvetydigheden. Man kunne også overveje at standardisere kravene til referencegrundlagene og referenceoplysningerne.
The Commission should for this reason consider a more uniform formulation of the directives in future revisions, thereby excluding the ambiguity.
Kommissionen skal naturligvis føre en effektiv kontrol med direktiverne, og virksomhederne skal have bedre klagemuligheder.
The Commission must, of course, keep an effective check on the directives and firms must have better opportunities to complain.
Det skal være nemt, og det skal være hurtigt for de enkelte virksomheder at klage.
Lodging complaints must be an easy and fast process for the individual firms.
Men hvad sker der, når en offentlig udbyder bryder reglerne?
But what happens when a public sector supplier breaks the rules?
Sker der noget? Nej!
Does anything happen? No!
Hvor er sanktionerne?
Where are the sanctions?
Dette problem må vi tage fat på, og jeg vil opfordre Kommissionen til at se på sanktionerne.
We must tackle this problem and I would like to invite the Commission to take a look at sanctions.
Kommissionen har dog været nødt til at erkende, at Unionens egne offentlige indkøb ikke har fungeret så effektivt som forventet.
The Commission has, however, had to admit that the Union's own public procurement has not worked out as effectively as anticipated.
Situationen skyldes primært Kom missionens knoldede administration og også det, at med lemslande ikke tilstrækkeligt dækkende har taget direktiver om offenlige indkøb med i deres nationale lovgivning.
The main reason for this situation is the Commission's lumpy administration together with the fact that the Member States did not adopt directives on public procurement comprehensively enough to implement their contents into the law of the land.
Endelig vil jeg henlede Kommissionens opmærksomhed på spørgsmålet om miljøkrav ved offentlige indkøb.
Lastly, I wish to draw the Commission's attention to the question of environmental requirements for public sector purchases.
Jeg mener, at udbyderen skal have lov til at stille miljøkrav i alle led af produktionskredsløbet og ikke kun til produktets slutegenskaber.
I think the supplier must be allowed to impose environmental requirements in all parts of the production cycle and not only for the finished characteristics of the product.
Dermed kan vi leve op til EU's miljøpolitik.
This will enable us to live up to EU's environmental policy.
Jeg hører meget gerne kommissær Montis holdning til spørgsmålet om standardisering af reference grundlaget, til spørgsmålet om sanktioner og til spørgsmålet om at inddrage miljøspørgsmål ved tildeling af kon trakter.
I have a ready ear for commissioner Monti's views on the question of standardizing the refer ence base, the question of sanctions and the question of taking environmental questions into account when contracts are awarded.
De offentlige indkøb har på Unionens område ikke været tilgængelige for de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
Public procurement has proved beyond the reach of small and mediumsized businesses.
Det er disse virksomheder, der skal fokuseres på netop nu, for SMV-sektoren anses for at være en af de vigtigste afhjælpere for beskæftigelsessituationen.
These, however, must now be on the receiving end, as this sector is seen as one of the most important ways of easing unemployment.
Jeg samtykker med hr. Tappin om forslaget, hvor der tales for personaleoplysning og efteruddannelse i små og mellemstore virksomheder.
I fully agree with Mr Tappin's proposal appealing for the education and training of staff employed in such companies.
Som hindring for disse virksomheders adgang til markedet er også forsinkelserne i indkøbsenheders udbetalinger. Vi her i Parlamentet bør være i stand til at påvirke disse ulemper.
Delays in payment to procurement units only help to hinder access to markets on the part of these companies.
Hautala (V). - (FI) Ærede hr. formand, offentlige indkøb er virkelig en meget betydningsfuld form for økonomisk virksomhed.
But I would like to draw your attention to the ecological and social criteria which inevitably have to be given consideration when undertaking public procurement.
Der indkøbes for ECU 720 milliarder varer og serviceydelser i EU hvert år, og det udgør en stor del af de 15 medlemslandes bruttonationalprodukt, næsten 12 %.
I think it is just as Mrs RiisJør-gensen said: we must ensure that the regulations pertain ing to public procurement on the part of the Union enable us to defer to the demands of the environment.
Den primære svaghed i handlepolitikken vedrørende Kommissionens offentlige indkøb er, at de offentlige indkøb kun anses for at være midler i realiseringen af det indre marked.
The main weakness in the operational policy on public procurement by the Commission is that public procurement is seen just as tools for establishing internal markets.
De betragtes udelukkende fra det private erhvervlivs synspunkt.
These are viewed almost exclusively from the private business angle.
I Kommissionens dokument findes der heller ikke nogen vurdering af, hvorledes konkurrencepolitikken støtter udviklingen af den offentlige service, hvad angår dens tilgængelighed, kvalitet og omkostningseffektivitet.
The Commission's document contains no assessment either of how a policy of competitiveness can promote the availability, quality and cost-effectiveness of public services.
Alligevel er netop de offentlige indkøb anden administrations- og servicevirksomhed for en myndighedsperson. hedsperson.
However, public procurement is actually just part of the administration and service of the public authority.
Men jeg vil også påpege økologiske og sociale kriterier, som der unægteligt skal tages højde for ved offentlige indkøb.
Likewise, the social criteria are terribly important.
Jeg vil f.eks. nævne, at ofte har de lokale myndigheder begyndt at realisere den holdbare udviklingsstrategi AGENDA 21, og de vil virkelig iværksætte økologiske kriterier i deres egne aktiviteter.
At the same time as achieving savings and efficiency, we must create criteria for what constitutes a good deal for human beings.
De kan også have betydning for løsningen af miljøproblemer på unionsplan.
One day, in a Swedish newspaper there was an article on something that came to light only just recently: a Danish home care firm, which worked in Swedish old people's homes, had not actually bothered to look after the old people in its care.
Kommissionen betragter også de egentlige indkøbsmetoder og problemer derved udelukkende fra producentens, det vil sige fra den private sektors side.
The Commission is also examining the proper procurement process and the problems that go along with it, from the viewpoint of the producer exclusively, and not the private sector.
Bestillerens, det vil sige den offentlige sektors, med andre ord den offentlige myndigheds, behov er der ikke taget hensyn til.
The customers, that is to say the public sector or public authorities, have not had their needs taken into account.
Konkurrence i de offentlige indkøb er også barok set fra personalets side.
Competing for public procurement is also absurd from the point of view of staff.
Den offentlige indkøbsmetode bør udvikles, således at der i serviceafdelinger, hvor indkøbet
The public procurement process should be improved so that the working conditions and job security of those employed in the procurement service can be taken into account in connection with competitive activity., There should be an increase in public procurement when there is mass unemployment.
De offentUge indkøb bør forøges under stor arbejdsløshed.
social, and environmental policy must be included in this process.
Dette giver de offentlige myndigheder fordelen af ikke at få en forsinket godtgørelse for et eventuelt tab og et uafsluttet arbejde, men at få arbejdet og udnyttelsen af det til den planlagte tid, og virksomhederne selv fordelen af ikke at udnytte de rådighedsbeløb, som banksystemet kan yde dem.
This gives public authorities the advantage not of having a late reimbursement for any loss and the work not finished, but of having the work and the use of it within the specified periods, and it gives companies the advantage of not exhausting the funds the banking system may grant them.
Peljs (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, både tilbydere og udbydere af offentlige arbejder har deres egne problemer. Derfor kvaUficerede en nederlandsk brancheorganisation for nyüg det europæiske udbudssystem som nonsens og meget dyrt.
Peijs (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, both tenderers and those who issue invitations to tender for public works have their problems.
Den vigtigste klage fra alle, der kommer i berøring med direktiverne, er deres tvetydighed.
The main complaint of anyone who has anything to do with the directives is their lack of clarity.
Præcis der, hvor det er vigtigt, lades man i stikken.
On just those points where it is important to be clear the text leaves you in the lurch.
Forestil Dem en region med stor ledighed, der skal udbyde et arbejde.
Take a region with serious unemployment that has to put a project out to tender.
Må denne region forlange, at tilbyderen skal beskæftige et antal lokale eller regionale arbejdsløse ved udførelsen af arbejdet? Ingen ved det.
Can the region require tenderers to take on a number of local or regional unemployed people to carry out the work?
Monti, medlem af Kommissionen. - (LT) Hr. formand, denne debat om Tappin-betænkningen, som jeg glæder mig over, handler om et afgørende punkt i det indre marked: åbning af konkurrence for en vigtig del af leverancer, arbejder og tjenester produceret inden for Den Europæiske Union, som indkøbes af offentlige myndigheder eller organisationer, som udfører tjenester af almindelig økonomisk interesse.
Monti, Member of the Commission. - (IT) Mr President, this debate based on Mr Tappin's report, for which I offer my congratulations, hinges on one crucial point in relation to the single market: the opening up to competition of a substantial amount of supplies, works and services pro duced within the European Union, when they are the subject of contracts issued by the general government or by bodies managing services of general economic interest.
Må en udbydende myndighed stille strengere krav, f.eks. på miljøområdet, til tilbydere fra eget land end til uden landske tilbydere, fordi man som myndighed kan stille disse krav?
Can a government inviting tenders impose stricter require ments, environmental for example, on tenderers from its own country than on foreign tenderers because it can, as a government, impose those requirements?
Dyre tilbud, der ofte løber op i flere hundrede tusind gylden, havner i papirkurven, fordi der mangler en kopi, og ikke sjældent går små og mellemstore virksomheder i øjeblikket glip af ordre, som de tidligere ikke havde svært ved at få i ordrebogen.
Expensive ten ders which can cost thousands are thrown out because one little copy is missing and sometimes small and mediumsized businesses miss the boat whereas at one time they could easily have walked off with the orders.
På grund af de bureaukratiske procedurers karakter har de ikke længere en chance.
The bureau cratic procedures are such that they have no chance.
Sådan er der mange spørgsmål, som Kommissionen må finde en løsning på.
So there are many questions that the European Commission needs to answer.
Indtil nu overholdt f.eks. kun nogle få lande direktiverne, mens andre så stort på dem.
Up to now, for instance, some countries have complied with the directives and others have ignored them.
Ensartet behandling, også på dette område, bør være en selvfølge.
It should be self-evident that they are to be treated in the same way, in this area too.
Hvad vil kommissæren gøre ved dette?
What is the Commissioner going to do about it?
Som der allerede er erindret om, taler vi om 11 % af bruttonationalindkomsten.
As recalled, we are talking about 11 % of the gross domestic product.
De regler om åbent udbud af offentlige indkøb, som i øjeblikket er i kraft, har hidtil haft en begrænset indvirkning på markedet.
The rules on opening public contracts up to competition currently in force have so far had a limited impact on the market.
Denne situation er bekymrende, og netop derfor er det vores klare hensigt med Deres støtte at iværksætte passende initiativer, så det indre marked til fulde kan udfolde sit potentiale også i denne sektor - målene er faktisk meget vigtige - så leverandørernes konkurrenceevne kan blive styrket, ud buddets kvalitet forbedret, priserne sænket og den offentlige sektors tjenester stadig kan blive forbedret, kort sagt at skatteydernes penge kan blive givet mere omhyggeligt ud og derved blandt andet bidrage til at begrænse de offentUge underskud.
This situation gives us cause for concern, and it is precisely for this reason that we firmly propose to offer the relevant initiatives with your support, so that the single market will develop its potential to the full in this sector too - the objectives at stake are, in fact, really significant - so that the competiveness of suppliers is strengthened, the quality of supply is improved, prices fall, the services offered by the public sector are always better and, finally, the taxpayer's money is spent more cautiously, contributing, among other things, towards reducing public deficits.
For byggesektoren er direktiverne en katastrofe.
For the building sector the directives are proving disastrous.
Aitkinsrapporten advarede om at uhæmmet konkurrence i bygge sektoren ikke betyder, at prisen bliver lavere og kvaliteten højere.
The Aitkins report warned that unrestricted competition for the building sector does not mean lower prices or higher quality.
Det modsatte er tilfældet.
Quite the reverse.
Fortjenesten er presset, virksomhederne påtager sig arbejde til uansvarligt lave priser, og forbrugerne får leveret dårligt arbejde, men det opdager de først 10 år senere, desværre.
Margins are under pressure, firms are taking work on for an irresponsibly low price and the consumer gets bad work but unfortunately he often does not find that out until ten years later.
Efter min mening, og det er ikke ordførerens mening, var denne rapport også stedet til at påpege sektorspecifikke forhold.
In my opinion, and that is not the opinion of the rapporteur, this report was certainly the place to draw attention to sectorspecific matters.
Det forlyder, kommissær, at der ikke kommer nogen hvidbog.
It is said, Commissioner, that there is going to be no White Paper.
Hvornår vil sektorerne så blive drøftet?
So when are the sectors to be discussed?
Og kan kommissæren angive, med hvem han på et senere stadium vil forhandle om sektorerne?
And can the Commissioner say who he is going to consult with on the sectors at a later stage?
Det skal så ikke glemmes, at en konsekvent respekt for spillets regler tillader at kæmpe mere effektivt mod korruption på indkøbsområdet.
It should not be forgotten that a rigorous observance of the rules of the game enables us to fight more effectively against corruption in the field of contracts.
