Og endelig, hr. formand for Revisionsretten, vil jeg minde om, at det er i denne sidste del af programmeringsperioden, at størstedelen af strukturfondene virkelig anvendes.
The Commission is giving the false impression that in doing so it is complying with Parliament's request to create an OLAF, an office for fraud prevention.
Jeg mener ikke, at dette fremgår af Deres synspunkter, og De kunne måske forvirre nogle af de mest uskyldige sjæle i Parlamentet.
I would like to make it clear that this is not the case, Commissioner Liikanen.
Rosado Fernandes (UPE). - (PT) Hr. formand for Revisionsretten, på topmødet i Edinburgh blev det vedtaget, at dér skulle være flerårig budgetplanlægning for udgifterne, indtil de finansielle overslag ophører ved afslutningen af regnskabsåret 1999.
I noted that there have been a number of special reports, and I would like to say that one of them which really made an impression on me is the one which has featured in the press for the last fortnight and deals with safety in nuclear power plants.
Er han, hvad de egne indtægter angår, enig med mig i, at det er et yderst alvorligt billede, der males?
I would like to ask Mr Friedmann, and also Mr Liikanen and the Commission, not just to focus on nuclear power plants in the eastern countries.
I traditionelle egne indtægter ser vi beviser på problemer med opkrævningen og en hang til svindel.
We should perhaps also be looking at the situation in Murmansk, where there are several hundred submarines which have been scrapped but still have active reactors, and where a number of reactors have been dumped in the Barents Sea.
Men når vi ser på den meget værdifulde analyse, der er foretaget omkring opkrævningen af moms i medlemsstaterne, ser vi dette alarmerende tal, hvor der er en afgrund mellem den teoretiske momsindtægt og den faktiske opkrævning på ECU 70.000 millioner om året.
I really dö think that we need to have a special report on this area, and I think that instead of going on talking about these things and employing expensive consultants and a good deal more besides, we should employ people our selves and send them out there to start the necessary process.
Det har ikke blot en indvirkning på med lemsstaterne, men også på BNP og de momsbaserede ind tægter:
All the other small-scale fraud which is happening round about should also be addressed, but it must not be our top priority.
Ifølge Revisionsrettens undersøgelse er ECU 70 milliarder ikke blevet brugt.
What Parliament called for with a large majority at the be ginning of October was not an additional institution.
Hvad er grunden til den forsinkelse? Dårlig administration i Kommissionen?
An external so lution is not valid as long as we do not have a European public prosecution authority.
Ringe vilje fra medlemsstaternes side, der gennem udgifterne til struk turfondene udøver den politik, som franskmændene kalder for juste retour?
I would now like to ask you, President Friedmann, whether it could be of interest to the Court of Auditors to be involved in an office of this kind and to contribute its experience.
Hvilke medlemsstater skal vi ud nævne til klassens slemme drenge?
Has the Court of Auditors formed an opinion on this yet?
Jeg mener, at Edinburgh-aftalen skal respekteres, fordi opretholdelsen af de strukturforanstaltninger, som disse fonde gør mulige, er nøglen til ligevægt i Sydeuropa. Til slut et sidste spørgs mål: Djsse ECU 70 milliarder, kan de stadig anvendes, el ler kan de ikke?
I was disappointed particularly by the phrase that 'substantive errors affecting transaction underlying payments' was in the same range as in previous years.
Garriga Polledo (PPE). - (ES) Hr. formand, jeg vil takke hr. Friedmann og de øvrige medlemmer af Revisionsretten, som befinder sig i tilhørerlogen, for deres til stedeværelse.
Krehl (PSE). - (DE) Madam President, I would like to discuss the planning and implementation of actions in the field of external aid.
Jeg mener, at Revisionsrettens beretningers betydning for meddelelse af decharge til Kommissionen anskueliggøres af dechargeprocessen for 1996,
The scale of Community activities in this area has in recent years increased continuously in both political and financial terms. Moreover, neither the extent nor the importance of these activities will decrease
Og så for blev de oven i købet i vestlige lommer.
Krehl in the coming years.
Der var ingen me todik, ingen evaluering og ingen aftaler, og de østeuropæiske lande blev ikke underrettet om resultaterne af undersøgelserne.
Following the ratification of the Am sterdam Treaty, in fact, the opposite is to be expected.
I sidste ende penge smidt ud ad vinduet, uden at vi har fået blot et gran mere sikkerhed. Det er den egentlig skandale, og her vil jeg meget gerne have at vide af Kommissionen, hvorledes den agter at råde bod på det i fremtiden.
The content of the Court of Auditors' annual report is there fore all the more worrying as it has found considerable shortcomings in all phases of preparation, implementation and assessment of the actions by the Commission.
hundrede ubåde, der er skrottet, men som stadigvæk har aktive reaktorer, og hvor man har dumpet et antal reaktorer i Barentshavet.
ber States; this means that the relevant auditing sector writes to the Member State and to the relevant national court of auditors in order to inform them of the results.
Jeg synes virkelig, at vi fortjener at få en særrapport om dette område, og jeg synes, at vi i stedet for at blive ved med at snakke om disse ting og ansætte dyre konsulenter og meget andet, selv burde ansætte folk og sende dem derover og gå i gang med den nødvendige proces.
The Member State can then reply to us, usually via the national court of auditors, and if we do not reply to this within two months it means that we are in agreement with the Member State's reply.
Det kræver selvfølgelig, at der er et samarbejde med medlemsstaterne.
Therefore, if each party meets its deadline the arguments of the country being audited are taken into account in our annual report and in the special reports.
Alt det andet småsvindel, der sker rundt omkring, ja, det skal vi også tage fat på, men det må ikke få den højeste prioritet.
Unfortunately, as we have already seen, while the creation of a separate com mon service results in improvement of management capacities, it also distances political and economic services from the implementation of policies.
Med henblik på tvivlsomme undersøgelser er der blevet udarbejdet en undersøgelse, pris ECU 170.000, om bevarelsen af den sibirske tiger.
This figure of 70 billion refers to the model calculations based on nine Member States and is the annual average over four years.
Med de penge kunne man have lavet noget andet.
This gives an indication of the sum not paid.
På den måde ødsles der med penge i Kommissionen til undersøgelser, uden at der bagefter sker noget.
We can also ac count for this in detail, but of course the Member States are the first to be affected by this loss, and obviously the Community is indirectly affected by it to a certain extent.
Derfor Vil jeg gerne have at vide, hvad der så nu skal ske med de ECU 550 millioner, vi stadig har til nuklear sikkerhed, om der igen kommer undersøgelser af tvivlsom værdi, uden at der bagefter gøres noget!
To give you an idea of the magnitude of this I could say that the sum lost by the Member States in the form of VAT revenue is in the order of the budget of the European Union.
Jeg var særlig skuffet over sætningen om, at de »betydelige fejl i transaktionerne, der ligger til grund for betalingerne« var i samme størrelsesorden som de tidligere år.
Mrs Müller, on the issue of foreign policy and the question of whether the situation is improving, I have to say quite honestly that we cannot give the all-clear.
Jeg blev noget opmuntret af efterskriften til hr. formand Friedmanns tale her til formiddag, hvor han sagde, at der var nogle forbedringer.
Mr Dell'Alba, I understand your anger regarding the newspaper reports.
Det er det, vi er ude efter - forbedringer. ringer.
However, I must make two points here.
Paisley (NI). - (EN) Hr. formand, det er så sandelig utroligt, at formanden for Revisionsretten må aflægge beretning om Kommissionens tab af millioner.
Firstly, many newspaper reports simply rehash the special reports already published officially by us.
Kommissionen indtager, samtidig med at den lader dette ske, en helt an den holdning til svineproducenterne i Nordirland.
Some times the impression is given that the annual report has been leaked, but I am not aware of any incident of this kind.
Det har været nødvendigt at give de kriseramte svineproducenter dér en økonomisk støtteordning, således at de kunne få uønskede dyr fjernet fra deres bedrifter.
However, I understand your concern, and we in the European Court of Auditors generally agree that Parliament has the right to be the first to be informed.
Den kløft, der er imellem dem, giver os dette beløb på omkring 70 milliarder i tab for medlems staterne på et år, hvilket er 35-40 gange det beløb, som EF-budgettet rent faktisk bliver bedraget for. Jeg ville ønske, at finansministrene tog dette til efterretning.
On the one hand, it is astonishing that the administrative costs of the European Union represent in total approximately 5 % of the budget, in cluding personnel expenditure.
Nu siger Kommissionen, at landmændene skal betale disse penge tilbage, der forebyggede dyremishandling.
As you know, Mrs Wemheuer, we referred some time ago to fact that the minibudgets used at the time were to be heavily criticised.
Kommissionen lader millioner gå tabt, men tager ikke hensyn til dem, der befinder sig i de mest desperate om stændigheder.
Parliament kindly took control and resolved the matter by granting the Commission a generous number of posts for permanent staff.
Jeg ser gerne, at protokollen her i dag tilføjes en opfordning fra de nordirske medlemmer i Parlamentet, om at man ophører med at forværre vores svineproducenters desperate situation.
In the meantime, however, it has emerged that, despite this, more of the operational budget is once again being spent on a decentralised staff ing policy and in particular on employing external con sultants and experts.
Der er nogle af dem, der allerede er så desperate, at de er blevet drevet til selv mord.
In this re spect I share your concern about the Commission's staffing policy.
Jeg er interesseret i kapitel 6 om administrationsudgifter.
Mr Fabre-Aubrespy, you addressed the issue of information policy.
Tak for de forskellige beretninger, vi har modtaget fra agenturerne.
We have referred to a few points in that area.
Man må håbe, at dette beløb er gemt et eller andet sted i Kommissionens regnskaber.
We do not see it as our job to censor the information the Commission feels it has to provide, but we insist that the delegations, or whoever may be concerned, must be capable of meeting their responsibilities.
Hvad skolerne angår, vil jeg gerne påpege, at det rejser et problem, at fire af skolerne har flere eksterne elever end elever fra Fællesskabet.
The ac tual problem is the time needed for the contradictory pro cedure, though the period agreed does not even take ac count of the summer recess.
Mon vi burde overføre nogle af pengene til overfyldte skoler andre steder?
We must enter into intensive talks with the Commission, as we discussed yesterday in the Committee on Budgetary Control, in order to clarify to what extent this period can be reduced and the Financial Regulation amended accordingly.
Blak (PSE). - Hr. formand, da jeg fik Revisionsrettens årsberetning i går, læste jeg den med stor interesse. Som dansker er man selvfølgelig interesseret i, hvad der står om Danmark.
Mr Le Gallou, the question is whether we should reduce humanitarian aid if, as we say, so much money does not actually reach the people concerned.
Jeg har læst beretningen utallige gange i nat, og jeg kan ikke finde noget om Danmark. Det glæder mig selvfølgelig, at vi har orden i vores sager i vores eget land.
This is a political is sue but in my personal opinion I would ask you to bear in mind that it is probably the very poorest who have to suffer as a result of others not being honest.
Det er jo altid dejligt at kunne tage det som udgangspunkt. punkt.
That should be taken into account in this decision.
Jeg vil gerne bede hr. Friedmann og også hr. Liikanen og Kommissionen öm ikke bare at fokusere på atomkraftværkerne i østlandene. Man skulle måske også se på forholdene i Murmansk, hvor der ligger et par
Mr Brinkhorst, it is clear why you place importance on cooperation with the national courts of auditors.
Bosch (PS). - (DE) Fru formand, hr. formand Friedmann, kære kolleger, angående UCLAF - De sagde det allerede på den interparlamentariske konference i sidste uge, De
Lord Tomlinson, you stated that British press reports of fraud in the order of three billion pounds are not borne out
Bosch gentog det i går - De anser oprettelsen af endnu en institution til bekæmpelse af svig for problematisk. Som vi hører, er det imidlertid præcis det, Kommissionen for øje blikket er ved at forberede.
Friedmann with which we are not directly involved. I understand your concern, and we will discuss this again.
Et forslag til forordning på basis af artikel 235 i EF-traktaten om oprettelsen af et så kaldt eksternt forundersøgelsesagentur er åbenbart under udarbejdelse-i Kommissionen for øjeblikket.
We deliberately men tion irregularities, as you know, and I should make it clear - here we are in agreement - that the report of the Euro pean Court of Auditors is not a fraud report; rather, we check for legality, regularity and sound financial manage ment, and the content of the report reflects this.
Dermed giver Kommissionen det forkerte indtryk, at den efterkommer Parlamentets krav om et OLAF, et kontor for bekæmpelse af svig.
You also mentioned that in Denmark everything is in or der.
Jeg vil gerne gøre det klart, hr. kommissær Liikanen, at det ikke er tilfældet.
Mr Blak, I am pleased that you believe you can draw this conclusion, but the fact that we do not criticise some thing does not mean that everything is in order. That is ob vious.
ca. 5 % af budgettet inklusive personaleudgifter.
We have also referred to this in the relevant speL cial report.
Men det siger ikke meget, da Den Europæiske Unions politik skal gennemføres af medlemsstaternes forvaltninger.
I understand your reference to the Fontainebleau Agree ment as a UK Member of Parliament. We addressed this issue in our special report on the Community's own re sources.
Som De ved, fru Wemheuer, gjorde vi allerede for nogen tid siden opmærksom på, hvor kritisk de daværende minibudgetter skulle bedømmes.
We do not regard it as our job to tell the political powers how possible changes should be made to the con tributions paid by the Member States.
Parlamentet tog heldigvis emnet op igen og klarede sagen ved generøst at tildele Kommissionen stillinger til fast personale.
However, we did note that it had been arranged in Fontainebleau that should adjustments be decided on for political reasons, then expenditure policy too must be changed.
Men det har i mellemtiden vist sig, at de operative midler alligevel igen i øget om fang anvendes til en decentraliseret personalepolitik og navnlig til brug af eksterne konsulenter og eksterne eksperter. Derfor har jeg kritisk trukket disse Liikanen-faci-liteter frem, som overskrides.
Mr Garriga Polledo, you mentioned the Structural Funds and asked whether we received reports from the Member States and how coordination with the Member States works.
Hvad det angår, er jeg enig i Deres negative syn på Kommissionens personalepolitik.
The issue of why this delay has arisen in the programming period was touched on later; one of your colleagues also mentioned it.
Om vi kan behandle emnet separat i en særberetning, og hvorledes det passer ind i planlægningen, vil jeg drøfte med vores kollegium.
I must say that at the beginning of the pro gramming period a certain amount of time is always needed for work to get properly underway.
Det, Europa-Parlamentet med stort flertal krævede i be gyndelsen af oktober, er ikke endnu en institution.
Mr Bosch, your question concerning whether we would be prepared to accept OLAF being affiliated to the Euro pean Court of Auditors in some way was a very difficult one.
Vi kræver derimod, at den nuværende UCLAF erstattes af et kontor for bekæmpelse af svig med fuld operationel uafhængighed, men ikke som en satellit et eller andet sted uden for EU-institutionerne.
It must be clear that the nature of the tasks involved is quite different. I repeat, and on this we are in agree ment, that the European Court of Auditors is not a criminal investigation department or a police force.
Den eksterne løsning er ikke noget værd, så længe vi ikke har en europæisk anklage myndighed.
There is a good reason for this, as much of our auditing leads to con sultation work.
Nej, OLAF skal også etableres i Kommissionen, og alle Unionens øvrige institutioner skal være med. Nu mit spørgsmål til Dem, hr. formand Friedmann: Har det nogen interesse for Revisionsretten at være med i et sådant kontor, hvor den kunne øse af sine erfaringer? Har Revisionsretten allerede en mening derom?
I also appreciate your idea that if an independent unit of this kind is to be responsible for all the in stitutions without becoming a new institution itself, you need an existing institution to which you can affiliate OLAF.
Jeg for står, at De gerne vil have årsberetningen lidt tidligere.
Finally, I would like to thank you all very much for your keen inter est.
Det egentlige problem er den tid, der er nødvendig, for at de reviderede institutioner kan svare på Revisionsrettens be mærkninger.
However, the problem of cofinancing in the Member States was doubtless partly responsible for this, as when we request cofinancing the Member States are often obliged to incur additional debts.
Her tæller sommerferien jo ikke engang med i den aftalte frist.
We must understand that this was not easy in the run-up to monetary union.
Krehl (PS). - (DE) Fru formand, jeg vil gerne fremsætte nogle bemærkninger om planlægning og gennemførelse af bistanden til tredjelande.
Liikanen, Member of the Commission. - Madam President, the work of the Court of Auditors helps us in our continuing efforts to improve our budgetary management of the Community.
Omfanget af fællesskabsaktiviteter på dette område er i de forløbne år steget bestandigt, både hvad angår det politiske og det finansielle vo lumen.
I should like to express my thanks to Mr Friedmann and to his colleagues in the Court of Auditors for their work.
De to, volumen og betydning, vil heller ikke i de kommende år blive mindre.
Nearly half the 24 special reports this year are devoted to the common agricultural policy or structural funds.
Efter ratificeringen af Amsterdam-traktaten må man snarere forvente det modsatte.
These account for the main part of Com munity spending and our interests coincide on this point.
Hr. Brinkhorst, hr. ordfører Brinkhorst, De lægger af en bestemt grund vægt på samarbejdet med de nationale revisionsinstitutioner.
Mr Rosado Fernandes, you mentioned Edinburgh and asked why there has been a delay over the ECU 90 billion.
Vi har udarbejdet en bestemt procedure.
I hope I answered this question together with that of Mr Garriga Polledo.
Medlemsstaten kan så svare os, det sker for det meste via den nationale revisionsinstitution, og hvis vi ikke svarer inden to måneder, betyder det, at vi er enige i medlemsstatens svar.
Some contractors have taken the price of Western experts as the basis for the terms specified in the contracts, but in fact employed east European experts to do the work.
Det vil sige, at når begge parter overholder fristen, er der taget hensyn til de revideredes argumenter i vores årsberetning og i sær beretningerne.
The fees of Western experts are about fifteen times higher than those of their east European counterparts.
Desværre medfører afkoblingen af den fælles tjenestegren ganske vist på den ene side en forbedring af ledelseskapaciteten, men også afstand mel lem politiske referater og referater om den økonomiske politik og gennemførelsen af politikkerne.
Their origins are of ten in the recommendations which the Court has made in its previous annual reports and the Court has also noted that in this report.
Mit spørgsmål til Revisionsretten lyder: Er Revisionsret ten af den mening, at oprettelsen af den fælles tjeneste gren RELEX vil medføre klare forbedringer, eller er det navnlig med henblik på Unionens fremtidige opgaver in den for dette område nødvendigt at tænke på helt nye løs ninger?
But you are right, and I think this is the opinion of the en tire House: a nuclear safety strategy is urgently needed and should be given priority.
Hr. Pasty, De gjorde i lighed med flere af Deres kolleger opmærksom på de 70 milliarder, der går tabt i forbindelse med momsen.
Mr Blak, you mentioned that there is a big problem with submarines in Murmansk.
De 70 milliarder vedrører i modelforsøget ni stater og er et årsgennemsnit for en periode på fire år.
As you know, this is a military issue that is not within the di rect jurisdiction of the European Court of Auditors.
Resultatet herafer størrelsen af det beløb, der ikke er blevet be talt. Man kan dernæst godt begrunde det i enkeltheder, men i første omgang mangler medlemsstaterne naturlig vis afgifterne, og indirekte mangler også Fællesskabet dem i et vist omfang, det er klart.
We can only audit in connection with the EU budget - we have already discussed this in the Court of Auditors, and I will bring it up once again - but I must first remind you that these submarines in Murmansk are a military matter,
Det er på den ene side forbavsende, at Den Europæiske Unions administrationsudgifter alt i alt udgør
With some exceptions, the Court also found that transactions underlying revenue as well as commitment
Fru Müller, angående udenrigspolitikken og spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt der er en tendens til forbedring.
With re gard to payments, the Court was not able to provide the Declaration of Assurance.
Helt ærligt bliver jeg nødt til at sige til Dem, at vi ikke kan afvarsle, for vi gør altid i god tid opmærksom på tingene, men vi kan ikke sige, at alt i dag er i den skønneste orden.
The aim of the Commission is of course to receive a positive Declaration of Assurance from the Court in all respects.
det også.
two other major reforms in the pipeline.
Jeg bliver nødt til at henlede opmærksomheden på følgende: I begyndelsen af en planlægningsperiode er der altid brug for en vis tid, inden alt er sat i gang. For ti den ser vi det helt tydeligt hos de nye medlemsstater, så ved programperiodens slutning hober tingene sig op.
The first is a communication for an overhaul of the financial regulation, presented in July 1998.
Men problemet medfinansiering har uden tvivl også spil let en rolle i medlemsstaterne, for når vi kræver medfinansiering, er staterne ofte nødt til at sætte sig i ekstra gæld.
The second major reform under discussion in the Com mission is the shift to an activity-based budgeting seeking to enhance cost-consciousness and presenting operational expenditure in the same global context.
Man må forstå, at det ikke har været helt let, når blikket var rettet mod Den Monetære Union.
I hope that we will be able to take the first steps in this process before the budget for 2000.
Der er således flere faktorer, som tilsammen forklarer, hvorfor denne ophobning har fundet sted.
It will not be easy, because that is the year in which the budgetary authority will be elected, and a new Commission appointed.
Hr. Dell'Alba, jeg forstår godt Deres ærgrelse over avis referater. Jeg må imidlertid gøre Dem opmærksom på to ting.
I would like to draw two conclusions from the Court's re port and recommendations.
På den ene side er mange avisreferater en fremstilling af de særberetninger, vi allerede har offentliggjort. Af og til kán man få det indtryk, at det var en foregriben af årsberetningen.
Firstly, according to the Court, a majority of both formal and substantive errors occurred in the agricultural and structural programmes which are mainly managed in the Member States.
