Kommissionen har allerede truffet konkrete foranstaltninger i den ret ning.
What Commissioner Steichen said in reply to my four demands for Commission proposals seems to be very encouraging.
Det er i overvejende grad eksportrestitutioner eller finansiel strukturstøtte, der indkasseres med urette elle bruges uretmæsssigt.
If we actually put this into effect, we will have taken a major step forward in the fight against fraud.
Den største svaghed i bedrageribekæmpelsen er medlemsstaternes mangelfulde kon trol samt det utilstrækkelige samarbejde inden for EF.
Steichen, Member of the Commission. - (FR) Mr President, I have nothing to add to what I said just now, particularly as regards the allocation of posts.
Det er sjældent, bedragerne bliver straffet, og idømmelsen afbøder og sanktioner samt krav om tilbagebetaling af' beløbene håndhæves kun mangelfuldt.
I said quite clearly, Mr Tomlinson, that these posts will be used for the campaign against fraud.
Ikke sjældent tager medlemsstaternes myndigheder efter min mening urimeligt hensyn til de selskaber, der er etableret på deres område.
Some will say that one of the greatest merits of the EIB is its freedom from political pressures.
Vi bør i høj grad takke fru Theato og ligeledes vor kollega Tomlinson, fordi de nu vil have ordnet disse forhold og arbejder hen imod forbedringer.
The EIB is a highly professional organization and repeatedly stresses the objectivity it brings to bear on its decisionmaking process for the allocation of loans.
Dette initiativ vil jeg hilse hjerteligt velkomment, og jeg anmoder Parlamentet om at støtte det. for at det også må blive virkningsfuldt.
Insofar as this is a feature of the bank's day-to-day management of its affairs, it deserves support from the European Parliament.
Med de europæiske borgeres penge midler, der står til rådighed for Den Europæiske Union -men er øremærkede - skal der finansieres aktioner; de må ikke misbruges til bedragerier.
It is clearly desirable that no undue pressure should be brought to bear on the bank by politicians to make particular loans to particular borrowers.
Jeg vil nøjes med at nævne følgende hovedakser:
The vote will be taken at 6.30 p.m. this evening.
Jeg vil dog også gerne gøre opmærksom på følgende: Hvis vi afvikler overskuddene al landbrugsprodukter, har vi ikke længere brug for disse omfangsrige konti og giver derfor ikke mere bedragerne nogen håndsrækning.
President. - The next item is the report by Mr Zavvos, on behalf of the Committee on Budgetary Control (A30107/94), on the democratic control of the financial policy of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
Dog foreligger der en risiko for. at medlemsstaterne vil benytte den horisontale regulering, der måtte blive vedtaget, til at anfægte de niveauer, der allerede er nået inden for visse sektorer, navnlig inden for rammerne al'EUGFL.
The Zavvos proposals recognize the reality of this situation and make a distinction between the day-to-day manage ment of the bank and its strategic political orientation.
Ansvaret for det påhviler os alle i forening.
This report deals with two quite different organizations.
Kommissionen, der gennemfører Fællesskabets budget.
It has been established as an instrument of Community policy.
Rådet, der skaber retsgrundlaget for anvendelsen af bevillinger ne, medlemsstaterne, hvem det primært påhviler at iværksætte Fællesskabets politikker og at forebygge, opspore og retsforfølge tilfælde af bedrageri mod Fælles skabets budget.
The second, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, is legally separate though major ity owned either by European institutions or the Member States.
Revisionsretten, der skal varetage den
I will, therefore, take the two subjects in turn.
Hovedsagen er. at man ikke glemmer, at medlemsstaterne betragter strafferetten som deres særlige område.
There is currently an agreement whereby the Court of Auditors has certain limited powers to look at the bank's books.
Det skal der tages hensyn til, når der vælges
In principle this may occur only when the EIB is managing funds on behalf of the Community, that is not from its own
Steichen retsgrundlag, og når rækkevidden af et kommissionsforslag bestemmes.
Kellett-Bowman resources, or operating under a Community budget gua rantee.
Hvis De ikke følger denne instruks, vil De mærke følgerne af med overlæg at tilsidesætte Parlamentets budgetmyndighed, når vi når til dechargegennemgangen.
The structure of the institution, and in particular the responsibilities of its management bodies, are laid down in the statute of the Bank, which forms an integral part of the Treaty.
Endelig har Kommissionen gjort sig bekendt med forslagene vedrørende tjenestemændenes ansvar, og den vil undersøge det eventuelle behov for bestemmelser, der er mere vidtgående end finansforordningen og ved tægten.
If this can be achieved and the Community institutions are mandated to exercise control over the bank's activities, taxpayers at large could be assured that their interests are democratically and transparently protected. tected.
Under alle omstændigheder bør dog ligevægten mellem tjenestemændenes ansvar på den ene side og beskyttelsen af deres rettigheder på den anden garanteres.
As regards the machinery for taking decisions and monitoring the operations of the EIB, the most important bodies are the Board of Governors and the Board of Directors.
Theato (PPE). - (DE) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne kort henvende mig til kommissæren.
Tomlinson (PSE). - Mr President, while the Socialist Group welcomes Mr Zavvos' report I think it inevitable that this is not going to be anything like our last word on our relations with either the European Investment Bank or the EBRD.
Vedrørende redegørelsen vil jeg dog gerne sige et par ord, thi det, som kommissæren sagde om mine fire krav til kommissionsforslag, gør mig meget optimistisk.
The Board of Governors, which is responsible for the general policy of the Bank, is subject to democratic, parliamentary control at national level.
Hvis der handles i overensstemmelse hermed, så kan vi her tage et stort skridt i retning af bekæmpelsen af svig.
More detailed checks on the Bank's financial operations are carried out by the Board of Directors, on which the Commission is represented.
Jeger af den opfattelse, at de ord. som kommissæren her har fundet, også kunne være sagt af kommissær Schmidhuber, hvem jeg gerne vil meddele, at jeg på det punkt også tager ham på ordet.
Its members, especially those nominated by the Commission, ensure that the operations of the ËIB are consistent with the aims of Community policy.
Steichen, medlem af Kommissionen. - (FR) Hr. formand, jeg har intet at føje til det. jeg sagde for lidt siden, især med hensyn til fordelingen af stillingerne.
This committee, appointed by the Board of Governors, consists of three members, who are generally responsible for public auditing in the Member States.
Hr. Tomlinson, jeg sagde jo netop, at disse stillinger vil blive brugt til bekæmpelsen af" svig.
External auditing is also carried out by an international firm of accountants.
Formanden. - Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
This agreement, concluded in 1989 for a period of three years, was adapted and renewed in 1992.
Hr. formand, det beror måske på en tilfældighed, at jeg er til stede i eftermiddag i stedet for hr. Schmidhuber, men jeg er sikker på, at hr. Tomlinson ville blive skuffet, hvis jeg ikke på dette sted forsikrede, at jeg inden for mit område er fast besluttet på at bidrage til bekæmpelsen af' svig, der er en al' de stærke sider af" min politik i Kommissionen.
As regards the European Investment Bank, can I say particularly, however, how very much we all welcome the very close relations that we have been able to develop between this House, the Committee on Budgetary Control and the European Investment Bank since Sir Brian Unwin took over as President.
Det er derfor, jeg har ønsket at sige et par ord om de halvtreds stillinger, han nævnte for lidt siden.
We have had some very useful dialogue with him and it is quite clear that, institutionally, we are going to be ever more closely interwoven.
Som De ved, træffer Kommissionen hvert år ved regnskabsårets begyndelse og i overensstemmelse med den prioritering, den har foretaget, afgørelse om fordelingen afalle de stillinger, der er opført på budgettet, mellem de forskellige tjenestegrene. Den vil følge den samme procedure med hensyn til de halvtreds nye stillinger.
This is going to happen as a result of the fact that, for all European Community lending activity in Central and Eastern Europe that is undertaken by the European Investment Bank, we act as guarantor by using the Community budget as the basis for the guarantee.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A3-017/94) af Zavvos for Budgetkontroludvalget om den demokratiske kontrol med EIB's og EBRD's økonomiske politik.
What we are seeing to an increasing extent in our relationship with the European Investment Bank is that we are taking the risk by guaranteeing the loans against the Community budget and the bankers have non-risk operations on which they are taking the political decisions.
Da det drejer sig om faste stillinger, er proceduren til besættelse heraf"allerede indledt.
Now that, even in view of our complex interinstitutional arrangements, seems to be somewhat wrong.
Kommissionen vil træffe afgørelse om tildelingen af de femogtredive resterende stillinger, sa snart den har afgjort det forudgående spørgsmål om ppbygningen af de forskellige tjenestegrene, del er berørt af bedrageribekæmpelsen, og om deres særlige opgave.
So what I think Mr Zavvos is doing, though not necessarily perfectly in every respect, is leading us towards the conclusion that we have to get the relationship between the Bank and Parliament right.
Hvordan det end forholder sig, vil Kommissionen drage omsorg for, at disse nye stillinger udelukkende bliver anvendt til at styrke bekæmpelsen af svig.
We cannot just accept the risk against the budget and have the political decisions taken out of our hands.
Kellett-Bowman (PPE), stedfortræder for ordføreren. -(EN) Hr. formand, som De siger, forelægger jeg denne betænkning på vegne af hr. Zavvos. Hen beder undskylde.
As regards the EBRD, I note that the report is addressed to the Member States of the Union and calls for the budgetary control of the EBRD to be entrusted to the Court of Auditors.
Det er en skam, han ikke selv kan være til stede og forelægge betænkningen efter alt det hårde arbejde, han har lagt i den.
This is the correct procedure, since the auditors are appointed by the administrators of the Bank, and the administrators by the Member States.
De vil således kunne måle omfanget af den opgave, der er løst af' tolv tjenestemænd.
That, I think, is the commendable aspect of Mr Zavvos' report and it is in that sense that I, on behalf of my colleagues, welcome it.
FORSÆDE: David MARTIN Næstformand
President. The debate is closed.
Jeg vil derfor behandle de to emner efter tur.
The vote will take place at 6.30 p.m.
Tomlinson (PSE), ordfører. - (EN) Hr. formand, uden at rådspørge Parlamentet vil jeg gerne sige til kommissær Steichen, at hans synspunkt var helt og holdent uacceptabelt. belt.
Steichen, Member of the Commission. - (FR) Mr President, the principal task of the European Investment Bank, as the financial institution of the European Community, is to make a positive contribution to financing and investment, and to the balanced development of the Community, and it must scrupulously respect the rules of banking management.
Kommissionen afgør ikke tildelingen af stillinger.
Holzfuss (LDR). - (DE) Mr President, there is some confusion over the preparations for voting time.
Kom missionen har blot beføjelse til at anmode; budgetmyndigheden beslutter, og med hensyn til ikke-obligatoriske udgifter er det Parlamentet, der tager den endelige afgørelse i beslutningsprocessen.
At the end of the debate on the reports relating to foreign and security policy, we were told that the vote would be taken at 6.30 p.m.
Vi har besluttet: vi har ikke bedt Dem om at overveje, hvorledes De anvender disse
I now understand that it has been agreed that the vote will not be taken until the next session in Brussels.
Traktaten om Den Europæiske Union og Unionens økonomiske politiks stadig større afhængighed af bankens politik gør dens politiske opgave stadig tydeligere.
The Bank is an institution which has legal personality and financial autonomy within the Community system, its shareholders being the Member States, which have joint
Endvidere er de beløb, der er tale om ved EIB's arbejde, med til at pege på behovet for større ansvarlig hed.
President. - I am told that we are technically ready to take the vote on security this evening but that the
Kellett-Bowman glemmes, at banken arbejder med offentlige penge, hvad enten det er i form af kapital eller penge fra markedet generelt, takket være dens status som Fællesskabets egen bank.
President them buying better products; not our international competitors, who think these rules distort the laws of competition, as shown, for example, by the speech on this subject made last year by Mr Kantor.
I øjeblikket har Europa-Parlamentet, som har ret til demokratisk kontrol med alle de andre vigtige pengekanaler, næsten ingen rettigheder til at overvåge, revidere eller sanktionere EIB's måde at gennemføre politikken på. Endvidere er Europa-Parlamentet det eneste valgte organ i nogen teoretisk eller praktisk position til at udøve kontrollen.
President. - The next item is the report by Mr Pintón, on behalf of the Committee on External Economic Relations (A3-0023/94), on the negotiations regarding access to third countries' markets in the fields covered by Directive 90/531/EEC (the utilities directive).
Dette er ordføreren helhjertet enig i.
My report tries to take stock of the situation.
EIB er en meget professionel organisation og understreger gang på gang sin objektivitet i beslutningsprocessen for tildelingen af' lån. For så vidt dette er et træk i bankens daglige gøren og laden fortjener det støtte fra Europa-Parlamentet.
It endorses the principles followed by the Commission, namely transparency and reciprocity in access to external markets.
Det er klart ønskeligt, at der ikke lægges unødigt pres på banken al'politikere, for at la særlige lån tildelt til særlige lånere.
In other words, we are opening up to our competitors much more than, say, the United States market or the Japanese market is opening up to our own industries, and this is causing a substantial trade, industrial and technological imbalance.
Vi har haft en nyttig dialog med ham. og det er helt klart, at institutionelt vil vi blive endnu tættere sammenknyttet.
I appreciate, therefore, that it is not easy to explain and, in particular, not easy to listen to.
Dette vil ske som følge al', at for alle EF's låncaktiviteter i Mellem- og Østeuropa, der foretages af Den Europæiske Investeringsbank, agerer vi garant ved at bruge fælles skabsbudgettet som grundlag for garantien.
I shall do my best, in five minutes, to summarize for you the problems which are involved, because this is something essential for the European Union.
Det har naturligvis udsat os for risiko, og det, vi klart har set, er næsten en omvendt rollefordeling.
Let us therefore get to the crux of the matter.
Sædvanligvis er det banker, der tager risikoen og tjener overskudddet. og politikere, der tager beslutningerne.
The crux of the matter here is the future of high technology in the European Union, the skilled jobs that go with it and, finally, the question of free trade and its limits between the Union and our main partners.
Det, vi ser i stigende grad i vort forhold til Den Europæiske Investeringsbank, er, at i·/' tager risikoen ved al stille garanti for lånene via fællesskabsbudgettet, og bankfolkene arbejder risikofrit i sager, hvor de tager de politiske beslutninger.
As a result, we are having to tread a narrow path, protecting consumers and free trade, but also defending jobs with high added value in the Community.
Det fore kommer jo selv i betragtning af vore indviklede interinstitutionclle aftaler at være lidt forkert.
The Commission, through its president, and indeed our own resolutions have continually stressed the need to defend these high added value jobs, which represent the future of the Union.
Så jeg tror, at hr. Zavvos gør dét om end ikke nødvendigvis fuldstændigt i enhver henseende al føre os til den konklusion, at vi må skabe det rigtige forhold mellem banken og Parlamentet. Vi kan ikke blot acceptere risikoen via budgettet og se de politiske beslutninger flyve os al' hænde.
So there is no other solution, for the moment, than emphasizing the principles of reciprocal access, while at the same time not dropping our guard premature ly in these sectors - all the more so, I would repeat, since these sectors, especially telecommunications, were excluded from the recent GATT negotiations and are being treated separately.
Det er nok den anbefalelsesværdige del af hr. Zavvos betænkning, og det er derfor, at jeg pä vegne af mine kolleger byder den velkommen.
In conclusion, I have tried in this report to find that narrow path, that balance between the need for free trade and the need not to drop our guard prematurely - a balance which must be kept, at least for the time being, as long as balanced rules are not properly established on a worldwide basis.
Ikke desto mindre er det urealistisk at antyde, at EIB ikke er et politisk organ. Den eksisterer for et politisk formål.
I shall begin by explaining what is meant by 'excluded sectors'.
Den handler i overensstemmelse med de politiske prioriteter, der fastlægges generelt al' Rådet.
There are four of these in particular: telecommunications, energy, water and transport.
Den arbejder tydeligvis ikke på et kommercielt grundlag.
Why are they 'excluded'?
Hr. Zavvos forslag anerkender realiteterne i situationen og skelner mellem den daglige ledelse af banken og dens strategiske politiske orientering.
In practice, these sectors are being less and less excluded from international negotiations, in other words becoming less and less protected by the public authorities and falling less and less under monopoly control.
Steichen, medlem af Kommissionen. - (FR) Hr. formand, Den Europæiske Investeringsbank, derer EF's finansiel le institution, har som sin fornemste opgave at yde konkrete bidrag til finansiering og investering og til en afbalanceret udvikling i Fællesskabet, og den skal nøje overholde reglerne for bankdrift.
Brittan, Sir Leon, Member of the Commission. - Mr President, I should first like to thank the European Parliament for the interest it has shown in the area of public procurement of which this is part.
Som EF-institution skal den rette sig citer de fastsatte retningslinjer og til stadig hed tilpasse sine aktiviteter til evalueringen af Fælles skabets politikker, navnlig når det gælder den økonomi ske udvikling i de dårligst stillede områder og styrkelsen af den økonomiske og sociale samhørighed.
I am very grateful to Mr Pintón for his hard work in producing this excellent report now before us and to Parliament's Committee on External Economic Relations for its work which makes a timely contribution with regard to negotiations with third countries on access to their public utilities markets.
Betænkningens forslag, om at Parlamentet giver en årlig decharge for EIB, vedrører hovedsageligt dens strategi ske linje og indebærer ikke nogen form for direkte involvering i bankens beslutningsproces.
There has been a major advance in terms of free trade and free competition here - chiefly within the European Union, far more so than in the case of our main competitors.
Banken er en institution, der har status som juridisk person, og som har finansiel autonomi inden for EF-systemet. og dens aktionærer er Fællesskabets medlems stater, der i forening har tegnet dens kapital.
To a certain extent, the administration in Brussels has tried to introduce some order to these sectors, which are developing very rapidly, in terms of their fiscal and legal status, and with regard to competition.
Den institutionelle struktur og navnlig dens forvaltningsorganers beføjelser er fastsat i bankens vedtægter, der er en integrerende del al' traktaten.
All this is based on a directive from 1990, which generally tries to increase competition and transparency in these sectors, while at the same time trying to protect the Community's internal market, so that our industries do not fall prey to their competitors across the Atlantic or the Pacific.
I øjeblikket er der en aftale om, at Revisionsretten har visse begrænsede beføjelser til at se på bankens bøger.
Mr Pintón is right to point to the political sensitivity of the sectors that he has identified and their huge economic importance.
I princippet kan dette kun ske. når EIB forvalter midler pa Fællesskabets vegne, som ikke cifra egne kilder, eller arbejder under en garanti Ira fælles skabsbudgettet.
That is why utilities markets in third coun tries have in many cases been effectively closed and why we want access to them.
For så vidt angår de mekanismer, der træffer beslutninger om og fører kontrol med EIB's transaktioner, er de vigtigste organer Styrelsesrådet og Bestyrelsen.
Article 29 of the utilities directive was designed as a negotiating tool to encourage third parties to the negotiating table.
Styrelsesrådet, der består af medlemsstaternes finansministre, fastsætter de almindelige retningslinjer for kreditpolitikken, godkender den årlige statusopgørelse og årsberetningen og udnævner medlemmerne af Bestyrelsen.
When you consider the outcome of negotiations on the new government procurement agreement in Geneva in the course of the GATT negotiations, I think we can count ourselves successful.
Bestyrelsen træffer beslutning om ydelse al' kreditter, optagelse al' lån og fastsættelse al' rentesatser.
Various parties improved their offers substantially in the final weeks of negotiations and we concluded an extensive agreement some ten times larger in regard to market opportunities than its predecessor, the agreement of 1981.
Kommissionen udpeger ét medlem og én suppleant.
An agreement has also been reached on coverage of some utility sectors with other parties.
Når jeg nu vender mig til EBRD. så er der som allerede bemærket ikke nogen tæt lighed med EIB. Alligevel cjer Fællesskabets institutioner og medlemslandene kollektivt 51% af bankens kapital.
In practice, the rules which have been established satisfy no one: not the industrialists, who think the rules are full of holes; not the consumers, who think that the rules stop
Jeg vil gøre mit bedste for - på fem minutter - at sammenfatte det foreliggende problem for Dem, fordi det drejer sig om noget fundamentalt for Den Europæiske Union.
In the face of fierce competition from third countries, the concerns of the sector have been repeatedly expressed by the Association of European Tomato Producers.
Lad os derfor komme til hovedsagen.
An agreement in this area was reached on the basis of strict reciprocity.
Hovedsagen i denne sammenhæng er højteknologiens fremtid i Den Europæiske Union, det er spørgsmålet om den faglærte beskæftigelse, der knytter sig til den. og det er endelig spørgsmålet om frihandel og om dens begrænsninger mellem vor Union og dens væsentligste partnere.
In other words, in line with the terms and conditions laid down in Article 29 of the Utilities Directive, the European Union has agreed in principle to grant access to certain third countries to particular utilities sectors in the European Union where it considers that comparable and effective access has been granted to European Union undertakings in those sectors.
