Der findes en gylden regel, som vores handlinger bør følge: Absolut gennemsigtighed og klare regler.
There is a golden rule which we must use to guide us: absolute openness and clear rules.
Jeg siger derfor følgende: Skulle dette alligevel være tilfældet, lad os gøre, som jeg lige har foreslået, nemlig oprette et UCLAF, der er fuldstændigt uafhængigt afalle institutionerne, men som ligeledes har kompetence over alle institutionerne.
This is why I am now saying that if this is the case, then we should set up what the Commission is proposing: an anti-fraud office which is not only truly in dependent of all the institutions but which also has the power to act in respect of all the institutions.
På den måde har vi alle en garanti, De i Parlamentet, vi i Kommissionen, de andre i de andre institutioner, for at der virkelig findes en neutral in stans.
This will en sure a truly neutral authority in the eyes of Parliament, the Commission and the other institutions.
Derfor, efter lange og grundige overvejelser og med hjælp fra Europa-Parlamentet, og det må jeg sige, eftersom det var her i begyndelsen af oktober under debatten om Bosch-betænkningen, at jeg afgav mit svar, er vi kommet på rette spor i forbindelse med information i fremtiden.
This is why, after long and careful consideration and with the assistance of Parliament, I can say - given that I took part in the debate on the Bosch report at the beginning of October - that we have truly started on the road to the future in terms of information.
Dette er lige præcis formålet med vores forslag om et nyt UCLAF.
This is precisely the aim of our proposal for a new UCLAF.
Jeg vil ikke komme ind på, hvad det skal hedde, jeg vil hellere tale om dets fremtid som et uafhængigt og neutralt organ, og de institutioner, som det rådspørger, skal ligeledes forholde sig neutralt til det.
Its name is not at issue here; what is important is the body itself, its independence and neutrality and also the reciprocal neutrality of the bodies consulted.
Vi diskuterer i øjeblikket med personalet og dets repræsentanter, hvordan man kan forbedre ansættelsesprocessen, uddannelsen, bedømmelsen, den interne kommunikation, disciplinærprocedurerne og mange andre forhold.
Together with our staff and their repre sentatives we are currently discussing ways of improving recruitment, training, assessment, internal communication, disciplinary measures and many other questions.
Der er netop i Kommissionen ble vet uddelt en meget interessant rapport fra en fælles arbejdsgruppe med repræsentanter fra såvel personalet som administrationen, og der foregår nu et ekstensivt samarbejde om denne.
A joint working party composed of representatives of staff and administration has produced a very interesting report which has just been circulated within the Commission and which has been the subject of extensive consultation.
I øvrigt er de andre institutioner nu også blevet kontaktet angående dette emne.
The other institutions are also currently being contacted about this.
Også her regner jeg med i løbet af det første halvår af 1999 at drage de nødvendige konklusioner, inklusive en eventuel ændring af vedtægten.
I expect to be able to draw the necessary con clusions from this process in the first half of 1999, which will include amending the Staff Regulations where neces sary.
Sådan koncentrerer vi os om fremtiden.
This is the way in which we are looking forward, so please do not say that Europe is not looking to the future.
Og sig så ikke, at EU ikke tænker fremad. EU er i dag, og jeg ved, hvad jeg taler om, i en bedre situation end det var, da jeg blev for mand for Kommissionen i januar 1995.
I know what I am talking about and I can say that Europe is now in a much better position than when I was appointed as President of the Commission in January 1995.
Europa­Parlamentets forhandlinger
This is something that struck me immediately.
Nr. 4­529/7 at Kommissionen skulle have udøvet pres ­ og fortsat skulle gøre det ­ på UCLAF.
How can we hope to bring about improvements with the new office if Parliament is to be even less well informed?
Det er da vel et spørgsmål, der straks trænger sig på. Hvordan kan man tilstræbe en forbedring med det nye kontor, hvis Parlamentet på informationspolitisk plan stil­les dårligere?
I have accepted my responsibilities as President.
Mit andet punkt, hr. formand for Kommissionen: Kernen i Deres forslag er artikel 3 vedrørende dette kontors un­dersøgelsesret.
My second point is this: the central provisions of your proposal are contained in Article 3 on the office's right of inspection.
Dér er der en mærkværdig modsigelse.
But there is a very strange contradiction here.
I artikel 3, stk. 1, hvor det handler om den eksterne kontrol, står der, at kontoret selv kan anmode Kommissionen om at gennemføre en undersøgelse hvor som helst i et med­lemsland.
Article 3(1) on external controls says that the office can itself apply to the Commission to carry out an inspection anywhere in a Member State.
Men stk. 2 er meget mere interessant,...
But Article 3(2) is much more interesting ...
Malone (PSE). ­ (EN) Hr. formand, vi vil sige til hr. San­ter, at det er glædeligt, at han foreslår visse reformer.
Fabra Vallés (PPE). - (ES) Mr President, Mr President of the Commission, you began by saying you hoped for a Europe which looked to the future.
Det er selvfølgelig vigtigt, men det er også meget vigtigt at have et flertal bag sig.
Now, I would like to ask you: when do you want it by?
Kommissionen kan måske oplyse os om, hvordan den vil løse dette dilemma, nu hvor den helt klart har mistet forbindelsen til folket.
When will we be allowed to study the information you provide for us with the help of an interpreter and in the presence of a member of Parliament's administration? When will it cease to be
Heldigvis undersøges dutyfree endnu ikke af UCLAF.
Debates of the European Parliament
Det er lidt ligesom Loch Ness, der kommer igen i tide og i utide.
It is a bit like the Loch Ness monster which keeps coming up.
Men jeg vil minde Dem om, at dutyfree blev af­skaffet enstemmigt ved finansministrenes beslutning i 1991,
You should remember that duty free was abolished by a unanimous decision of the finance ministers in 1991,
Santer, formand for Kommissionen. - (FR) Jeg forstår ganske udmærket, at det ærede medlem endnu ikke har ■ haft tid til at undersøge forslagets indhold nærmere.
Santer. - (FR) I am well aware that the honourable Member has not been able to examine the substance of the proposal, which is why she has questions.
Vi er i øvrigt her for at svare på de stillede spørgsmål, da de omhandler nogle vigtige punkter, som vi også har haft overvejelser omkring.
And we are here to answer them, since they raise a number of fair points which we have also considered.
Tro ikke, at vi ikke skulle have tænkt over disse spørgsmål.
You must not think that we have overlooked them.
Derfor har vi også besvaret dem.
This is why I am happy to an swer your questions.
(Bifald) som skal gennemføres i 1999.
which must be implemented in 1999.
Man har altså sat en frist på otte år, så man netop kunne nå at lave alle disse undersø­gelser og omstillinger. Dette var meningen med de be­stemmelser og den tidsfrist, som de tolv finansministre indvilgede i på daværende tidspunkt. Jeg husker denne diskussion ganske godt.
An eight-year period was provided precisely for the purpose of carrying out various studies and adopting legislation.
Men jeg gentager, ved enstemmighed.
I must stress that the decision was unanimous.
Først og fremmest vil jeg sige, at Europa­Parlamentet li­gesom de andre institutioner er fuldt medlem af bestyrel­sen, og hvis De læser forslagets andre bestemmelser ­ og eftersom De citerer dem, virker det som om, De allerede har læst dem ­ står der i artikel 9, sidste afsnit, at besty­relsen hvert år udarbejder en aktivitetsrapport, og det er bestyrelsen, som Parlamentet også er en del af, som over­drager denne til institutionerne.
Firstly, the European Parliament, like all the other institutions, is a full member of the Administrative Board and if you read the other provisions in the proposal - which you must have done because you are quoting them - the final paragraph of Article 9 states that the Administrative Board, including Parliament, draws up an annual report and sends this to the institutions.
Det nye kontrolorgan, dets direktør og dets forskellige tjenester vil naturligvis fortsat stå til disposition for Parlamentet, men også for de andre institutioner, da disse ligeledes kan anmode om kontrol og iværksættelse af undersøgelser.
Clearly, this new office, its director and its various departments will be available to Parliament and all the other institutions which are also required to carry out checks and investigations.
Med hensyn til Deres andet spørgsmål vil det nye organ kun være ansvarligt for undersøgelsernes forløb.
In answer to your second question, the new office will be responsible solely for carrying out investigations.
Kom­missionen vil fortsat være politisk ansvarlig for at hen­vende sig til organet og for at følge op på undersøgel­serne.
The Commission remains politically responsible for referring cases to the Anti-Fraud Office and for monitoring investigations.
Dette er anført i bestemmelserne.
This is indicated in the provisions.
Jeg vil derfor op­fordre Dem til at sætte Dem grundigt ind i de forskellige forslag, som nøje er blevet udarbejdet i samarbejde med vores juridiske tjeneste, og derigennem kan De få en idé om den ny organismes generelle opbygning.
I would therefore agree that you will have to examine the various carefully constructed proposals in detail in cooperation with our legal services in order to get an idea of the gen eral organisation of this body.
Nu da jeg er på den anden sideaf bordet, nemlig som for­mand for Kommissionen, må jeg sige jer, at Kommissio­nen er traktatens vogter, og den skal udføre de beslutnin­ger, som Ministerrådet enstemmigt har truffet.
Now that I am on the other side of the fence, as President of the Commission I must stress that the Commission is the guardian of the Treaty and it must implement the de cisions unanimously adopted by the Council of Ministers.
Men det var enstemmigt, at direktivet blev vedtaget i 1991, og De har godkendt det her.
It was a unanimous decision which transposed the directive in 1991 and you approved it.
Så lad os være konsekvente over for os selv, vores institutionelle bestemmelser og lad os forblive troværdige.
So we must be consistent our selves, and with regard to the provisions governing our institutions, so that we can remain credible.
Vi skal gen­nemføre de beslutninger, som er blevet truffet.
We must im plement the decisions which have been taken.
Hvor er vi henne, hvis Kommissionen hver gang en beslutning er truffet, og hver gang et direktiv er vedtaget, skal se, hvor­dan man kan forvrænge direktivet eller undersøge, hvor­dan det skal anvendes?
Where would we be if, every time a decision was taken or a di rective adopted, the Commission started wondering how to sidestep it or how to scrutinise its application?
Jeg tror, at vi har en traktatmæssig og institutionel rolle at spille, og det er den rolle, som vi vil påtage os.
I believe that we have a constitutional and institutional role to play which we must fulfil.
Kommissionen tager ingen nye initiativer i den retning.
The Commission cannot do any thing else in this respect.
De kan være sikre på, at vi har villet nå Bosch­betænknin­gens mål, nemlig et uafhængigt og selvstændigt organ til at bekæmpe svig.
You can be sure that we wanted to respond to the objective set out in the Bosch report of a fraud prevention body with real independence and autonomy.
Det var vores mål. Vi forsøger at finde måder samt midler til at opnå dette.
This was your objective and we have looked for the ways and means to achieve it.
Jeg kan derfor ikke se, at der skulle være nogen forskel på Europa­Parlamentets og vores holdning.
I cannot therefore see any difference in attitude between Parliament and the Commission.
Jeg tror tværtimod, at dette organ kan hjælpe os i fremtiden med at bekæmpe svig mere effektivt og sikre en større gennemsigtighed.
On the con trary, I believe that by improving fraud prevention this of fice can guide us in the future in order to ensure greater openness and to eliminate criticisms like those which have been made recently.
Vi skulle på den måde kunne undgå en sådan kritik, som vi netop har mødt, hvis indhold jeg benægter og fortsat vil benægte, nemlig
I continue to refute that the Commission has exerted or is exerting any pressure on UCLAF.
Det var altså ikke på grund af manglende
Santer. - (DE) I can tell you quite honestly that I have never in my life - and I have been in politics a long time, I became a member of my government in 1972 - thought that any Member of Parliament was stupid.
For det andet har et medlem af Kommissionen udtrykt over for mig, at UCLAF arbejder efter Stasi-metoder.
I must say that I myself have never criticised the operation of UCLAF.
Stasi var det østtyske sikkerhedsapparat i DDR-tiden.
On the contrary, it was when I became President of the Commission in January 1995 that UCLAF was launched, and thanks to the cooperation with Parliament we have constantly improved its operation.
Jeg tror ikke, at han a) kan bedømme det, og jeg tror, at han b) bør lade være.
In 1997 we decided to establish a task force to assist UCLAF in its duties.
Jeg vil gerne spørge Dem, hvordan de reelt vil sikre denne gennemskuelighed?
I have never accused UCLAF of using Stasi-like methods.
Kjer Hansen (ELDR). - Hr. formand, der er ikke megen overensstemmelse mellem det forslag, Kommissionen nu fremlægger, og det krav, som Parlamentet med et meget bredt flertal har stillet om en styrkelse af UCLAF.
task of carrying out investigations as part of the fight against fraud against the Community budget, both in the Member States and within the Community institutions or independent bodies.
Hvordan kan det nye UCLAF være uafhængigt, når det fortsat vil være Kommissionen, der vil bestemme, hvilke undersøgelser der skal foretages overhovedet?
The Commission is not alone in being able to ask UCLAF to carry out an investigation, although it is the main institution in volved in the investigations.
Hvordan kan man tale om et uafhængigt kontor, når det fortsat vil være Kommissionen, der vil be stemme, hvordan undersøgelserne skal følges op?
Furthermore, the bulk of UCLAF's current investigations are being carried out in the Member States as this is its main job.
Der er jo ikke tale om nogen som helst uafhængighed, men om, at Kommissionen fortsat helt vil styre, hvad der skal foregå af efterforskning.
This is why we thought it necessary also to include the Council in UCLAF.
Er der ikke snarere tale om, hr. formand, at man vil gøre sig ansvarsfri og forsøge at løbe væk fra det ansvar, man netop har i forbindelse med eksempelvis de sager, som vi har beskæftiget os med i den sidste tid?
All the institutions have the right to ask UCLAF to carry out an investigation and the future UCLAF may initiate investigations on its own initiative.
Derfor ønsker jeg ikke, at man skyder mig noget sådant i skoene, det vil jeg gerne gøre fuldstændigt klart!
There is a saying in my local dialect which I will say in German be cause you speak German and will therefore understand it better: 'Gutheit ist ein Stück von Dummheit'.
(FR) Hr. formand, jeg talte tysk, så der ikke var brug for oversættelse.
In other words, we are sometimes too efficient for our own good.
Jeg vil meddele jer, at jeg personligt aldrig har kritiseret UCLAF's arbejde på nogen måde.
I believe that you must read the document and you will then understand that what you have just said is simply not true, and I am not saying this lightly.
Tværtimod var det i 1995, da jeg blev formand for Kommissionen, at UCLAF blev funktionsdygtigt.
You must look at the document, which was written by lawyers and which covers all the points which you are calling into question.
Og vi har takket være samarbejdet med Parlamentet hele tiden forbedret dets arbejde.
The Commission did not want to be the only institution with the right to order investigations by UCLAF, so all the in stitutions are entitled to do this, just as all the institutions are in general represented on the Administrative Board.
Vi be sluttede i 1997 at oprette en Taskforce, for at UCLAF kunne udføre sit arbejde.
This is the best possible proof of the neutrality and autonomy of this body in which Parliament has a say like all the other institutions.
Jeg har aldrig kritiseret UCLAF for at skulle arbejde med Stasi-metoder.
I believe that this is the best way of guaranteeing the effectiveness of the new office.
I vil så kunne konstatere, når I undersøger dette punkt nøjere, at UCLAF virkelig er et selvstændigt organ med egenskab af juridisk person, og organet har som hverv at udføre undersøgelser, som en del af bekæmpelsen af svig, der er til skade for fællesskabsbudgettet.
This is why you must read our proposals, whose broad outlines the Council has approved and whose direction the Heads of State and Government have deemed reasonable, with a clear and independent mind and without accusing us of crimes based on assumptions rather than facts.
Dette gælder både inden for med lemsstaterne, i institutionerne samt i de uafhængige fællesskabsorganer. Dette er definitionen.
So please reserve making a judgment, which must be calm and un prejudiced, until you have studied the Commission's communication in detail.
Kommissionen er ikke den eneste institution, der kan anmode UCLAF om at udføre undersøgelser, selvom det er den institution, der er mest interesseret i disse undersøgelser.
Bosch (PSE). - (DE) Mr Santer, the Bosch report to which you have referred is not the one I wrote, because what you have made of it has nothing to do with the Bosch report adopted by Parliament.
I øjeblikket foretager UCLAF i øvrigt hovedsageligt undersøgelser i medlemsstaterne. Dette er altså dens hovedaktivitet.
Commissioner Gradin promised us in July that Parliament would be involved in a comprehensive reform of UCLAF.
Vi har derfor fundet det nødvendigt også at integrere Rådet i UCLAF.
Now you have presented us with a proposal and told us to read what you have put in it.
Alle institutioner har ret til at anmode UCLAF om undersøgelser, og på eget initiativ kan det fremtidige UCLAF også selv indlede en undersøgelse.
Is this how you intend to restore confidence between our institutions, Mr Santer?
Hvis man siger sådan noget, må man også have beviser.
There is another point I would like to make about the substance of the proposal.
Det er altså på grund af vores egne tjenestegrenes aktivering, at vi har sat os selv i denne situation, der nu kritiseres af et antal parlamentsmedlemmer.
Is this how you mean to restore the public's confidence in the Commission's anti-fraud pol icy?
Jeg synes, det er vigtigt, at De læser dokumentet, og De vil da forstå, at Deres påstande ærligt talt ikke er retfærdige, og det vil jeg gerne understrege. De skal gennemgå dokumentet grundigt.
Kjer Hansen (ELDR). - (DA) Mr President, there is not a great deal of agreement between the proposal which the Commission is now presenting and the call made by Par liament with a very large majority for UCLAF to be strengthened.
Det er blevet udarbejdet af jurister, og det omhandler alle de forhold, som De anfægter.
How can the new UCLAF be independent when it will still be the Commission that decides what investigations are to be carried out?
Kom missionen har ikke villet tiltage sig en forret til at anmode UCLAF om undersøgelser.
How can there be any talk of an independent office when it will still be the Commission that decides how the investigations are followed up?
Alle institutionerne har ret til at gøre dette, lige så vel som alle institutioner i almindelighed er repræsenteret i bestyrelsen.
The fact is that we are not talking about independence at all, but about the Commission still completely controlling what happens in terms of inquiries.
Dette er det bedste bevis på kontrolorganets neutralitet og selvstændighed, og Parlamentet har lige som alle andre institutioner i øvrigt et ord at skulle have sagt.
Is it not more a question of people wanting to shed responsibility and trying to run away from the responsibilities which they have in connection with precisely the kind of things we have been dealing with here recently?
Jeg tror, at dette er den bedste måde at sikre den nye institutions effektivitet på.
So, Mr Santer, it is extremely disappointing that you have not been willing to engage in a de bate with us on the proposal which has now been put for ward.
Bosch (PSE). - (DE) Hr. Santer, det, som De henviser til her, nemlig Bosch-betænkningen, har jeg aldrig skrevet, for det, Som De har fået ud af det, har overhovedet intet til fælles med den Bosch-betænkning, som Parlamentet har vedtaget!
Santer. - (FR) Mr President, Parliament will clearly have plenty of time to discuss this point in depth, and when you do, you will see that UCLAF really is an autonomous body with its own legal status.
Kommissær Gradin lovede os allerede i juli, at vi i
It will be entrusted with the
Det er nok det, der er sket for os.
Santer. - (FR) I can answer these questions very easily.
Så døm eftertænksomt uden forhåndsmening, så snart I har undersøgt indholdet i Kommissionens meddelelse grundigt.
Consider this: our proposal undoubtedly goes beyond your own report, but it remains in an interinstitutional framework, which I believe is im portant.
Parlamentet ville blive inddraget i en eventuel reform af UCLAF.
ECOFIN, which knows what it is talking about, has already made a recommendation to Parliament.
Vores parlamentsformand gjorde Dem skriftligt opmærksom på det endnu en gang, jeg tror, det var i slut ningen af november i år.
It must not be forgotten that the Council is a branch of the budget au thority investigations just within the Commission.
Det er intet sket! Vi konfronteres i dag med et forslag, og De siger: Læs dog først, hvad vi har skrevet.
It is currently involved in over 900 investigations in the Member States where the majority of the investigations are needed.
Er det den måde, De vil genetablere tilliden mellem institutionerne på, hr. formand?
Within the Commission there are only 27 ongoing investigations.
Er det den måde, De vil genetablere borgernes tabte tillid til Kommissionens antisvigpolitik på?
The Commission is the guardian of the Treaty and I will abide by its provisions, nothing more and nothing less.
Og her kommer mit spørgsmål: Hvis vi afviser at give Kommissionen decharge, er De så klar til at kræve, at den kommissær, i hvis portefølje man har opdaget et reelt underslæb, og jeg tænker her på ECHO, skal gå af?
The Council and all the other institutions must therefore be integrated into the new body and I cannot see any con nection between your question and our proposal which encompasses and exceeds your objective by placing it in an interinstitutional framework, thus increasing the confidence of citizens in the supervisory bodies.
Med an dre ord, er De klar til at straffe inkompetencen, for lige i dette tilfælde tror jeg på den pågældende kommissærs personlige hæderlighed.
This will be the future for UCLAF as a European anti-fraud office and an independent body with its own legal status, assisted by top experts who will be independent and who will offer all the guarantees of independence. I really believe that in this way UCLAF and its independence will be strength ened.
Santer, formand for Kommissionen. - (FR) Undskyld mig, men jeg kan desværre ikke svare på spørgsmålet om den pågældende udnævnelse af vicedirektøren. Der må være en grund til, at man har handlet, som man har gjort.
Elles (PPE). - Mr President, I have a feeling that you are trying to shut the stable door when the horse has already bolted.
Jeg vil undersøge sagen og give Dem begrundelserne for vores udnævnelser.
Well, no national parliament would have ever accepted a report with asterisks or censorship from a bureaucracy to a directly elected parliament.
