Jeg tilslutter mig naturligvis kollegernes lykønskninger til hr. Söderman og ønsker ham selvfølgelig alt det bedste, hvilket også vil være det bedste for de europæiske borgere.
Natural ly, I join with my colleagues in congratulating Mr Söderman and of course I wish him the very best, which also means the very best for the citizens of Europe.
Dimitrakopoulos (PPE). — (EL) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, først vil jeg lykønske den nye ombudsmand, som blev valgt forleden dag, men også de øvrige kandidater, først og fremmest min egen gruppes kandidat, hr. Alber, for deres fine og hæderlige deltagelse gennem hele proceduren. Endvidere vil jeg komplimentere hr. Newman for hans fremragende arbejde, men også for den måde, hvorpå han har gennemført samtalerne med ansøgerne til denne vigtige post.
Dimitrakopoulos (PPE). — (EL) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I, too, would like to begin by offering congratulations to the new Ombudsman who was appointed yesterday, and to all of the other nominees, first among them Mr Alber, the nominee of my own group, on the splendid and honourable way in which they participated in the process.I wish also to congratulate Mr Newman on his excellent work and on his conduct of the audiences for this very important post.
Hr. Newman har gjort et fremragende stykke arbejde, hvilket også ses af den kendsgerning, at der ikke er stillet et eneste ændringsforslag.
The high quality of Mr Newman's report is evidenced by the absence of amendments.
Hans betænkning blev enstemmigt vedtaget i Udvalget for Andragender.
That is to say, the Committee on Petitions passed it unanimously.
Hans arbejde er særligt vigtigt og aktuelt netop nu, hvor ombudsmanden, som det er blevet sagt, er valgt.
This work takes on great significance just now, because, as we have said, the Ombudsman has already been elected.
Som medlem af Miljøudvalget har jeg haft meget med Udvalget for Andragender at gøre.
I must say that, as an official member of the Committee on the Environment, I have had many contacts with the Committee on Petitions.
Jeg tror måske, det er det udvalg, der er tættest på, hvad de europæiske borgere føler og tænker.
I believe that it is perhaps the committee which is nearest to the feelings and thoughts of European citizens.
Når det ikke har været mere smidigt, skyldes det også andre institutioners langsommelighed samt manglen på men neskelige ressourcer i arbejdsmæssig henseende.
If it has not acted quicker, it is due to the slow pace at which other institutions work, and the lack of human resources for the work it does.
Jeg kan godt lide udtrykket »led«, som ordføreren bruger om den rolle. Udvalget for Andragender skal have mellem ombudsmanden og Europa-Parlamentet.
I very much like the expression 'link' which is what, in the rapporteur's words, the Committee on Petitions has to be between the Ombudsman and the European Parliament.
Vi ved udmærket, at det ikke kun skal være Udvalget for Andragender eller ombudsmanden, der skal øge de europæiske borgeres tillid til de europæiske institutioner.
We know very well that it should not be solely the Committee on Petitions, nor even the Ombudsman, who increase the degree of credibility with which European citizens view the European institutions.
Men jeg er helt overbevist om, at denne figur vil bidrage til at øge borgernes tillid til vores institutioner.
But I am absolutely convinced that this figure will contribute to the credibility of our institutions among the citizens.
Jeg hører til dem, der tror på — og det har vi gjort klart helt fra starten — at det bedste system til beskyttelse af de europæiske borgeres rettigheder består i et samarbejde mellem ombudsmanden og Udvalget for Andragender, fordi Udvalget for Andragender er et udvalg under Parlamentet og således repræsenterer netop de politiske kræfter, der er aktive i Europa netop nu, og derfor er den bedste garanti for beskyttelsen af borgemes rettigheder.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am one of those who believe — and I made it clear from the beginning — that the best system for protecting the rights of Europe's citizens will be that based on cooperation by the Ombudsman with the Committee on Petitions, because as a committee of Parliament the Committee on Petitions is the arena which accurately mirrors the political forces that are active in Europe at this time, and as such provides the best possible guarantee of protection of citizens' rights.
Begge institutioner er nu parate til at påbegynde deres arbejde.
Both of the institutions are now ready to commence their work.
Ombudsmanden har forpligtet sig med de udtalelser, han kom med under samtalen.
The Ombudsman has a duty to adhere to what he told us during the audiences.
Men Parlamentet er på sin side også forpligtet til at revidere artikel 161 i forretningsordenen, og jeg vil tillade mig at opfordre dette udvalgs medlemmer til at gøre det, så vi ved nøjagtigt, hvordan forbindelserne mellem de to institutioner og deres arbejde bliver fremover.
Parliament for its part has a duty to proceed with the amending of Rule 161 of the Rules of Procedure, and allow me to request the committee as a whole to press on with that in order that henceforth we can know precisely how the relations and the work ofthe two institutions are to be shaped.
Når vi har modtaget grupper af besøgende, har vi set, at en af de grundliggende bekymringer er borgernes generelle mangel på viden om, hvor god eller hvor dårlig Den Europæiske Union er, og om den rolle, de europæiske institutioner spiller i deres liv.
When we have received groups of visitors, we have seen how one of the main concerns is that lack of knowledge among the citizens in general on the good and the bad aspects of the European Union, and the role that the European institutions play in their own lives.
Denne bekymring videregives til de europæiske parlamentsmedlemmer.
This concern is transmitted to the Members of the European Parliament themselves.
Som medlemmer af Parlamentet er det vores store opgave at sørge for, at tilliden blandt vores borgere øges.
We, as Members of the European Parliament, have a great task to increase the level of credibility among our citizens.
Men det skal naturligvis ikke kun være os: De lokale, regionale og nationale institutioner skal bidrage til, at borgerne ved mere om de europæiske institutioner.
But of course, it does not have to be just us: local, regional and national institutions should help the citizens gain a better knowledge of the European institutions.
Til sidst vil jeg geme takke alle mine kolleger i Udvalget for Andragenuer for det gode samarbejde under hele dette forløb og opfordre alle Parlamentets medlemmer til at stemme for betænkningen.
In finishing, Mr President, I wish here and now to thank all of my colleagues on the Committee on Petitions for their cooperation throughout the process and I request all Members to support this report.
Jeg er fuldstændig overbevist om, at den europæiske ombudsmand også vil bidrage til dette.
I am absolutely convinced that the European Ombudsman will also contribute towards meeting this need.
Jeg gentager mit ønske om alt det bedste for Dem, og vi vil naturligvis i institutionerne samarbejde med Dem i Deres arbejde.
I repeat that I wish him the best and naturally we in the institutions will cooperate with his work.
Cars (ELDR). — (SV) Hr. formand, det er til gavn for borgerne i Den Europæiske Union, at vi nu har en ombudsmand.
Cars (ELDR). — (SV) Mr President, it is good for the citizens of Europe that we now have an Ombudsman.
Nu gælder det om, at vi i fællesskab prøver at gøre embedet kendt.
What we must do now is, together, to try to acquaint people with the institution.
Det er måske i mindre grad et spørgsmål om at gennemføre en oplysningskampagne end at sørge for, at ombudsmanden hurtigt kommer i gang med sin virksomhed og opnår respekt og agtelse gennem de sager, som han tager op til prøvelse.
It is perhaps less a question of conducting an information campaign than of ensuring that the Ombudsman quickly takes up his activities and gains respect and recognition through the cases he takes on.
Det glæder mig, for netop store institutioner, organisationer, der opfattes som bureaukrati af borgerne, kan gøre folk bange og alene af den grund være skyld i misforhold.
I welcome this, since it is very much large institutions, bodies perceived by our citizens as bureau cracies, which can instil a sense of fear and for that reason alone give rise to grievances.
Jeg synes, betænkningen er lidt vag på nogle punkter.
On some points I think the report is a little vague.
F.eks. anføres det, at ombudsmanden skal have en uddannelse og erfaringer, der gør det muligt at behandle komplicerede juridiske spørgsmål.
For example, it says that the Ombudsman must have the training and experience to enable him to deal with complex legal questions.
Jeg mener, vi skal forlange, at han eller hun har en uddannelse, der mindst svarer til den, der kræves af en dommer i højeste retsinstans.
I think we should impose the requirement that he or she should have training corresponding at least to that required for a senior judge.
Ombudsmanden skal heller ikke, sådan som der står i betænkningen, kun bidrage til at påvise fejl og forsømmelser.
Also the Ombudsman should not merely help to bring to light cases of maladministration, as the report says.
Han eller hun skal aktivt sørge for, at borgerne får den ret, der tilkommer dem ifølge de traktater, som vi har indgået i Den Europæiske Union.
He or she should actively ensure that European citizens enjoy the rights conferred on them by the treaties we have concluded in the European Union.
Det gælder med andre ord om at have større forståelse for, at ombudsmanden aktivt skal engagere sig i at sikre, at mennesker får deres ret, og ikke blot
It is thus more a question of the principle that the Ombudsman should actively ensure that people are satisfied in their rights, and not just bring matters to light, as the report puts it.
Jeg mener, at ombudsmandens opgave med at varetage borgemes rettigheder over for institutionerne er en meget vigtig opgave og samtidig et yderligere skridt til større åbenhed over for borgerne i Den Europæiske Union.
I believe that the Ombudsman's task of looking after our citizens' rights in respect ofthe institutions is a very important one, and certainly a further step towards bringing the European Union closer to the people.
Jeg synes også, at samarbejdet med Parlamentet og dets Udvalg for Andragender er fastlagt på en meget god måde og sikkert vil være frugtbart, fordi netop en af Parlamentet valgt ombudsmand har en nærhed til de folkevalgte repræsentanter og i
I also think that the cooperation with Parliament and its Committee on Petitions has been very well organized and will surely be of great benefit, because an Ombudsman elected by Parliament is close to the elected representatives of the people and is better able to take up through contacts with them the matters brought to him by the citizens.
Og når det ikke kunne blive ham, så kan vi glæde os her i Parlamentet over, at vi kan beholde en fin kollega her i blandt os og arbejde sammen med ham.
Graenitz we are able to keep a fine colleague here among us and work together with him.
Jeg mener, at ombudsmanden i Den Europæiske Union bør arbejde meget tæt sammen med de enkelte embedskol leger i medlemslandene, fordi der i begyndelsen, som hr. Newman sagde, sikkert vil blive forelagt ham mange sager, der ikke umiddelbart falder ind under hans kompetenceområde.
In my view, the European Union Ombudsman should cooperate very closely with his counterparts in the individual Member States, because as Mr Newman has already pointed out, many matters of concern will no doubt be brought to him initially which do not fall directly within his terms of reference.
Mange borgere søger simpelthen hjælp et eller andet sted, når de opdager fejl og forsømmelser.
Many citizens simply look for help when they see injustices.
Jeg tror også, at den betænkning, han hvert år skal forelægge Parlamentet, vil vise sig at være meget givtig for Parlamentet. Jeg ønsker den nyvalgte ombudsmand, der som jeg kommer fra et nyt medlemsland, held og lykke!
I also believe that the annual report which he will submit to Parliament will prove to be of great benefit to us.
Ombudsmanden bringer den nordiske tradition med sig, og selv om der er stor forskel på den måde, hvorpå ombudsmændene arbejder i de nordiske lande og på den måde, som den europæiske ombudsmand skal arbejde på, håber jeg, at han kan bringe autoritet og folkelighed med sig i sit nye job.
The Ombudsman brings the Nordic tradition with him, and even though there are great differences between the way in which the ombudsmen work in the Nordic countries and the way in which the European Ombudsman is to work. I hope that he will be able to bring authority and popularity with him to his new job.
I Danmark er der en popgruppe, der hedder Shubidua, en gruppe, som i deres tekster og musik går tæt på den danske folkesjæl, og vi kan i en sang om sexchikane fra forrige år, hvor de synger: »vi klager til ombudsmanden en af dagene«, se beviset på, at ombudsmanden er fast forankret i den danske bevidsthed.
In Denmark there is a pop group called Shubidua. a group which in its lyrics and music keeps close to the soul of the Danish people, and in a song about sex chicanery from last year we can see in the words 'we'll complain to the Ombudsman one of these days', evidence of the fact that the Ombudsman is firmly anchored in the Danish consciousness.
Jeg glæder mig til den dag, hvor de store europæiske popgrupper uopfordret begynder at synge om den europæiske ombudsmand. mand.
I look forward to the day when the big European pop groups begin to sing about the European Ombudsman, without any prompting.
Pex (PPE). — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg ønsker hr. Söderman tillykke med hans udnævnelse til ombudsmand Jeg venter mig meget af ham.
Pex (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, I wish Mr Söderman luck on his appointment as Ombudsman, I expect great things of him.
Jeg ønsker hr. Newman tillykke med hans betænkning, jeg komplimenterer ham for det, og jeg tilslutter mig det, han lige har sagt.
I wish Mr Newman luck with his report, I compliment him on it and I agree with what he has just said.
Jeg understreger vigtigheden afgod oplysning over for borgerne, men også over for medlemmerne af Parlamentet, således at der på tydelig vis sondres mellem ombudsmandens opgaver og Udvalget for Andragenders opgaver, som kun vil tiltage både i vigtighed og omfang.
I would emphasize the importance of providing proper information to the people but also to Members of the European Parliament, so that they can clearly differentiate between the responsibilities of the Ombudsman and the role ofthe Committee on Petitions which is certain to grow in importance and size.
Jeg ønsker at fremsætte et par konkrete anmodninger over for ombudsmanden, så han ved, hvad han kan gå i gang med den 1. september.
I shall make a couple of requests to the Ombudsman so that he knows where to start on 1 September.
Han skal påvise fejl og forsømmelser også inden for Europa-Parlamentet.
He must tackle abuses and shortcomings head-on, including those within the Euro pean Parliament.
En af disse fejl og forsømmelser i Europa-Parlamentet er, at Udvalget for Andragender ikke har fået mulighed for at have et tjenstligt apparat til rådighed, der er omfattende nok til at kunne sikre borgernes ret til at indgive andragender.
One shortcoming in this House is that the Committee on Petitions has not been equipped with an apparatus large enough to guarantee the citizen's right to lodge petitions.
Dette problem skal løses hurtigst muligt.
That problem must be resolved with all speed.
Den anden fejl og forsømmelse, fru Gradin, er, at Europa-Kommissionen ikke kan eller vil besvare andragender og anmodninger om udtalelse fra Udvalget for Andragender på en hurtig og hensigtsmæssig måde.
The second shortcoming, Mrs Gradin, is that the European Commission is unable or reluctant to respond quickly and adequately to petitions and requests for opinions by the Committee on Petitions.
Samarbejde må være nøgleordet for forholdet mellem den nye ombudsmand og Udvalget for Andragender.
Cooperation has to be the keyword for the relationship between the new Ombudsman and the Committee on Petitions.
Det er ganske klart for os, der arbejder i Udvalget for Andragender, at der er forskel på den opgave, vi har, og den opgave som ombudsmanden har.
It is quite clear to those of us who work in the Committee on Petitions that there is a difference between the task we have and the task which the Ombudsman has.
Men det står måske ikke helt klart for borgerne.
But that might not be quite clear to the citizens.
Vi må derfor samarbejde og videresende sager, så borgerne får deres klager behandlet det rigtige sted. Ingen må komme i klemme. Der må ikke opstå forvirring.
We must therefore cooperate and forward matters so that the citizens have their complaints dealt with at the right place.
Vi skal brage hinanden bedst muligt til gavn for borgerne. Jeg vil geme pege på et forhold, som betyder, at den nye ombudsmand kommer til at spille en meget vigtig rolle, nemlig at han kan tage sager op af egen drift.
We must use each other as best as possible to the advantage of the citizens.
Ombudsmanden kan hermed bringe sig selv i en situation som spydspids for større åbenhed i EU.
The Ombudsman can thus put himself in the position of being a spearhead for greater openness in the EU.
Det er min opfattelse, at begrebet aktindsigt endnu ikke er blevet oversat til alle Unionens sprog, og det kunne være et godt sted at starte.
It is my view that the concept has not yet been translated adequately in all the Union's languages, and that might be a good place to start.
Hvis vi skal skabe større opbakning for det europæiske projekt, må vi have bragt EU ned i gadehøjde.
If we are to create greater backing for the European project, we have to bring the EU down to street level.
Vi har ikke behov for hemmelighedskræmmeri.
We have no need for secrecy.
Døre og skrivebordsskuffer må åbnes.
Doors and desk drawers must be opened up.
Den europæiske ombudsmand må ikke mangle opbakning fra dette Parlament.
The European Ombudsman must not lack backing from this Parliament.
Den får han nemlig hurtigt brag for, når han går i gang med sit arbejde.
For that is what he will soon need when he gets going with his work.
En tredje fejl og forsømmelse, som jeg vil påvise, fru Gradin — jeg tror ikke, fru Gradin hører på mig — har jeg sat under debat i januar. Det vedrører et andragende fra Jan Klees cum suis om diskrimination af mennesker, der er ansat ved Unionens institutioner.
The third shortcoming I want to see tackled, Mrs Gradin — I don't think she is listening to me — was raised by me in January; it concerns the petition by Jan Klees and others on discrimination against people working for the institutions of the Union.
Det er der stadig ikke reageret på.
There has still been no reaction to it.
Da fru Gradin aflagde besøg hos Udvalget for Andragender, anmodede jeg hende for anden gang om at tildele dette opmærksomhed.
When Mrs Gradin visited the Committee on Petitions I asked her a second time to consider this matter.
Den 28. april har jeg sendt hende et brev om dette andragende, som hun indtil nu dog ikke har reageret på.
I sent her a letter about this petition on 28 April, but she has not replied to date.
Jeg vil altså anmode ombudsmanden om at tage Jan Klees' andragende, der vedrører en af de vigtigste fejl og forsømmelser over for Unionens personale, op til debat.
I would thus ask the Ombudsman to raise the matter of Jan Klees's petition which concerns one of the major abuses against staff of the Union.
Gradin, medlem af Kommissionen. — (SV) Hr. formand, Europa-Parlamentet har tidligere på ugen truffet en meget vigtig beslutning.
Gradin, Member of the Commission. — (SV) Mr President, the European Parliament took a very important decision earlier this week.
Jeg har allerede haft fornøjelsen af at lykønske Jacob Söderman med udnævnelsen til den første europæiske ombudsmand.
I have already had the pleasure of congratulating Jacob Söderman on his appointment as first European Ombudsman.
Jeg vil også lykønske hr. Newman med hans betænkning om ombudsmandens rolle, som Parlamentet nu skal tage stilling til.
I also congratulate Mr Newman on his report on the role of the Ombudsman, which Parliament will now be voting on.
Jeg håber, at han den 1. september vil formå at tackle disse tre opgaver med dygtighed, og at der vil komme bedre tider, såvel for ham som for Udvalget for Andragender.
I hope that he will address these three tasks capably on 1 September and that better times may lie ahead both for him and for the Committee on Petitions.
Jeg håber, at vi formår at udforme retten til at indgive andragender og retten til at indgive klager til ombudsmanden på en sådan måde, at vi kan sige til borgere: De er en europæisk borger, og De har en ret her.
I hope that we can give real substance to the citizen's right to petition and his right to refer complaints to the Ombudsman, so that we can tell our citizens: you are a citizen of Europe and you have a right here.
Der findes virkelig et borgernes Europa, i kraft af disse to rettigheder.
Thanks to these two rights we do have a true citizen's Europe.
Parlamentet skaber med denne beslutning en institution af grundlæggende betydning for borgerne i Den Europæiske Union.
Parliament will be creating an institution that is of fundamental importance to the people of the European Union.
Det gælder såvel Unionens borgere som alle øvrige, der lovligt opholder sig i et medlemsland.
It will serve both the citizens of the Union and all those legally residing in any Member State.
En europæisk ombudsmand øger borgemes muligheder for at forsvare deres interesser og rettigheder inden for Fællesskabet, sådan som de er fastlagt i Maastrichttraktaten.
A European Ombudsman extends the possibilities open to people of defending their interests and rights within the Community as laid down in the Maastricht Treaty.
De mennesker, der bor i Den Europæiske Union, har en række rettigheder. Med den euro pæiske ombudsmand får de en til. Vi kan henvende os direkte til ombudsmanden.
People living in the European Union have a number of rights.
Folk har en række rettigheder, der bringer dem tættere på virkeliggørelsen af borgemes Europa.
People have a number of rights that bring them closer to the realization ofthe People's Europe.
Jeg tænker i den forbindelse også på retten til fri bevægelighed,
Rights that come to mind here are the right to freedom of movement, the right to vote in local elections, the right to vote in elections for the European Parliament in all Member States and the right to petition the European Parliament. ment.
Under de forhandlinger, der førte frem til Maastricht-traktaten, stillede Kommissionen sig gennemgående positivt til oprettelsen af en europæisk ombudsmandsinstitution.
President. — The next item is the report (A4-0172/95) by Mrs Graenitz, on behalf of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection, on the Inter-Ministerial Environment Conference to be held in Sofia in October 1995.
Ombudsmanden skal behandle klager over fejl og forsømmelser inden for Fællesskabets institutioner og organer.
to follow up complaints of maladministration in the Community's institutions and bodies.
Kommissionen mener, at dette øger borgemes muligheder for at forsvare deres rettigheder og få dem respekteret.
The Commission considers that this gives citizens increased possibilities of defending their rights and ensuring respect for them.
Udnævnelsen af en ombudsmand er samtidig en udfordring for samtlige institutioner.
The appointment of an Ombudsman is also a challenge to all institutions.
Den bør give dem anledning til at stræbe efter større åbenhed og god forvaltning.
It should be an incentive to them to strive for greater openness and good administration.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0172/95) af Graenitz for Udvalget om Miljø- og Sunds-hedsanliggender og Forbrugerbeskyttelse om ministerkonferencen om miljø i Sofia i oktober 1995.
Graenitz (PSE), rapporteur. — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, sustainable development in Europe will be of benefit for both the people and the economy and competitive ness of the continent.
