Jeg vil gerne indlede med at lykønske hr. Viola med en fremragende betænkning.
Fabra Vallés (PPE). - (ES) Mr President, Mr Tomlinson said we may end up talking to ourselves.
Den er ikke blot fremragende, fordi den er god i sig selv, men.fordi den reflekterer det, der i de seneste år i Budgetudvalget er blevet et sømløst kontinuum af budgetmæssig tilgang til vores eget Parlament.
That reminds me of being on electoral campaign, preaching the good news, and sometimes being faced with empty halls. And of course, conscious of our role as missionaries, we do not give up, but carry on.
Og endelig vil jeg gerne nævne ændringsforslag 1, som står i min gruppes navn.
Mr President, I would like to start by congratulating Mr Viola on the budget he is presenting to us.
Jeg anbefaler ligeledes dette ændringsforslag for Europa-Parlamentet.
And this is a difficult budget because of the large investments in property, furnishings and office automation equipment.
På vegne af de socialdemokratiske medlemmer af udvalget vil jeg gerne sige, hvor dybt vi kan gå ind for det, hr. Viola har sagt om det triste budskab om, at næstformand Lucas Pires er afgået ved døden.
But with regard to Mr Viola's report, I would like to focus mainly on the Ombudsman's budget.
Han kom til at vise sig at være et fremragende mellemled mellem Præsidiet og Budgetudvalget.
The Ombudsman is an institution which was born after the era of budgetary plenty.
Vi vil bestemt savne ham i denne rolle, men frem for alt vil vi savne ham som en god parlamentariker. tariker.
And because there were no demands, it was born with a very highly regulated organization. ization.
En af disse prioriteter går på vores ejendomspolitik her i Parlamentet.
The institution of the European Ombudsman was established with the Maastricht Treaty, and it began its work in 1995.
De nødvendige undertegnelser, der skulle gøre det muligt for os at gå vi dere med købet af Leopold-bygningskomplekset, foregik i går.
A clear example of this is the soaring number of complaints that have been lodged, which last year showed an increase of 40 %.
Dette er yderst vigtigt som en del af Parlamentets til gang til ejendomspolitikken.
One of the main duties of the EU and the European Parliament is, I believe, the defence of the weakest.
Vi har udøvet vores købsoption inden den 31. maj, og herved er det lykkedes for os at få denne fordelagtige tilførsel til Parlamentets budget på BFR 7,25 milliarder, der er blevet forhandlet mellem Par lamentet og Kongeriget Belgien.
The proposal by the Ombudsman for six interim posts is modest when we consider the quality of the work done by the institution and the vast area their work covers, as well as the incredibly short period of time they have had to develop.
Fabra Vallés (PPE). - (ES) Hr. formand, hr. Tomlinson talte om, at vi måske ender med kun at tale til hinanden.
For this reason, I support Mr Wynn at this stage in his Amendment No 1.
Det minder mig om, når vi under valgkampagner prædiker om det gode nye og af og til mødes af halvtomme lokaler.
In all other respects I endorse the acceptance of the report.
Disse ECU 180 millioner, som belgierne giver som erstatning for ejendoms-og ejendomsudviklingsomkostninger er en meget vigtig del af vores bygningspolitik.
I believe the demands have increased - in fact, we can feel it - so the organization needs to be adjusted to the work rate demanded of it.
Men til føjet til hr. Violas betænkning er ændringsforslag 2 fra Budgetudvalget.
And the work rate being de manded corresponds to the institution the citizens want.
Et ændringsforslag, som jeg tror, at hr. Viola støtter.
They want a flexible institution, with a good cost-efficiency ratio.
Det er et ændringsforslag, der henviser til tillægs-og ændringsbudget nr. 1 fra 1998.
So I think the time has also come for us to ask ourselves seriously whether something more really needs to be done with the organization of the Ombudsman.
I dette ændringsforslag eftersøger vi et brev om ændring fra Kom
Not just to provide the posts which have been re quested this time, but really to see if the Ombudsman needs a bigger organization.
Hr. formand, jeg vil starte med at lykønske hr. Viola med det budget, han fremlægger for os.
It is true that not all the Member States have reacted in the same way.
Et budget, der er van skeligt, og det er det smukke ved det: at lave et vanskeligt budget.
Some countries, such as Finland and Spain, are responding better, while the others are still some way be hind.
Men i det dokument, hr. Viola fremlægger for os, vil jeg især beskæftige mig med ombudsmandens budget.
Faubre-Aubrespy (I-EDN).- (FR) Mr President, greater transparency and clarity in this matter would be a boon for Parliament.
Fordi ombudsmandsinstitutionen nu engang er grundlagt ved medlemslandenes samstemmende beslutning, bør den også have rimelige ressourcer til varetagelse af sagerne, ellers vendes hele systemet imod sine egne formål, når sagerne hober sig op, og be slutningerne forsinkes.
Dear Mr Tomlinson, there were more of us present during the budgetary guide lines debate which was held this year in Strasbourg.
Ombudsmandens forslag om seks midlertidige stillinger er beskedent med hensyntagen til kvaliteten af institutionens arbejde og arbejdsfeltets enorme omfang samt institutionens usædvanlig korte ud viklingsfase.
It is extremely regrettable that the President has rejected convening a conference of Presidents this afternoon and has resorted to formalities.
Det er derfor, at jeg i denne fase går ind for Wynns ændringsforslag 1. For de øvrige deles vedkommende slutter jeg mig til godkendelsen af betænkningen.
If the public rightly gets worked up about the unacceptable arrangements for reimbursement and insinuates that the Parliament has a selfservice mentality, the President of this House should not hide behind provisions in the Rules of Procedure.
Jeg mener - og det er ikke bare noget, jeg mener, det er noget, vi mærker - at kravene er steget, og derfor er det, der skal gøres, at tilpasse organisationsplanen til den arbejdsintensitet, der kræves.
The right course of action would have been to go on the offen sive, because we did after all request the Court of Auditors' report ourselves and because at bottom we knew of all the procedural gaps which we have now had con firmed.
Og arbejdsintensiteten er hverken mere eller mindre end den, der er i den institution, som borgerne ønsker.
Going on the offensive would also have meant in this case reducing the contradictory procedure to the minimum.
Og de ønsker en smidig institution med en god omkostningseffektivitet.
Why not 24 hours, because it could hardly be simpler to give an answer to the observations of the Court of Auditors.
Derfor mener jeg, át tidspunktet er kommet for, at vi seriøst overvejer, om det virkelig er nødvendigt at gøre noget ved ombudsmandsinstitutionens organisationsplan.
The answer would be: 'Agreed, that is how things are at present', and 'Agreed, that is how we want to change things in future.'
Ikke bare at give den de stillinger, som den har anmodet om i dette tilfælde, men virkelig finde ud af, om ombudsmandsinstitutionen har brug for en mere omfattende organisationsplan.
But can we rely on this President and this Bureau as far as a willingness to change is concerned? I do have my doubts!
Müller (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, det er svært for mig at tale om Europa-Parlamentets budget i dag uden at komme ind på de markante bekræftende udsagn i Revisonsrettens seneste beretning om omkostningsgodtgørelser og andre godtgørelser for os parlamentsmedlemmer.
That comment aside, I would immediately like to raise again the matter of the chair to invoke the Viola report, which envisages 'the appropriations necessary for a par liamentary calendar comprising 11 ordinary sessions and 6 additional sessions'.
Det er rigtigt, at landenes reaktioner ikke har været de samme.
The working group set up by President Hänsch has come to nothing.
Der er nogle - Finland og Spanien f.eks. - som reagerer bedre, og de andre er stadigvæk lidt bagefter.
The investigation into the pension fund system has come to nothing.
Det er i allerhøjeste grad beklageligt, at formanden i efter middags afviste at indkalde Formandskonferencen og be grænsede sig til formalia.
President - Mrs Müller, you have criticized the stance taken by the President of Parliament.
En offensiv fremgangsmåde ville i dette tilfælde også betyde at reducere den kontradiktoriske procedure til et minimum.
Furthermore, a reply to this provisional opinion is being prepared by the Bureau, which is the competent body to do so.
Hvorfor ikke 24 ti mer, for det er jo let at give svaret på Revisionsrettens konstateringer.
The second main provision of the report sets aside appro priations to conduct a neutral campaign of institutional in formation amongst citizens of the Union.
Det ville hedde: »OK, det er på tide at gøre sådan«, og »OK, sådan vil vi ændre på det frem over.« Men kan man, hvad viljen til forandringer angår, stole på denne formand og dette Præsidium? Her har jeg mine tvivl!
What is pro posed is that we step up the appropriations allocated for information policy; ECU 2 750 000 have already been re leased for this purpose in the form of a transfer voted on 28 May last, instituting a special 'European elections' action.
Virrankoski (ELDR). - (FI) Hr. formand, jeg vil først takke hr. Viola for en afbalanceret og fattet betænkning om Europa-Parlamentets budgetoverslag for året 1999.
So the European Parliament is preparing to vote on a 1999 budget which will only serve finally to augment its propaganda appropriations. i Is there a single example, in any democracy, where a special information action on the eve of the elections adds four billion already devoted directly or indirectly to propaganda by the Community budget?
Udgiftsandelen af de samlede administrationsudgifter i EU forbliver også på under 20 %, som er i overensstemmelse med Parlamentets tidligere forpligtelser.
Perry (PPE). - Mr President, I find myself totally supportive of the need to exercise very strict restraint over the budget, most importantly over the money we spend on the institutions.
Afbalanceringen af budgettet lettes ved nedskæringen af ejendomsudgifterne med EUR 17 millioner, fordi byggeprojekterne i Strasbourg og Bruxelles bliver bragt til ende.
Therefore Mr Viola will have my full back ing just as he will have my backing tomorrow in his very important report on the island regions of Europe.
På den anden side kommer der ekstraudgifter på EUR 16,8 millioner på grund af valgperiodens udgang og overgangen til euroen næste år.
I would, however, say as an aside that I regret that in staffing issues we do not make more use of fixed term contracts.
Derfor har budgetændringerne og specielt personaleudgifterne krævet stor tilbage holdenhed.
The businesses and individuals who create the wealth of Eu rope all have to act with restraint and they do not have jobs for life.
Den arbejdsgruppe, som vores formand Hänsch har ned sat, er løbet ud i sandet.
Müller (V). - (DE) Mr President, my point was not to re fute what the President said this morning; my point was that I expected a political reaction.
Rationaliseringen af systemet til afregning af rejseudgifter - nå ja, halvvejs løbet ud i landet.
Of course it was distributed to the Chairmen of the groups much too late, and of course as a Member I also received it yesterday evening.
Måske ville det være bedst, hvis Budgetkontroludvalget fik til opgave at udarbejde betænkningen.
My criticism was a political one, it was not aimed at the formalities and the Rules of Procedure!
Jeg kan forsikre Dem for, at vi ville arbejde hurtigt og kvikt!
In that respect, the President is cer tainly right!
Jeg vil specielt tage fat i én sag, det er ombudsmandens budget.
Having said that, our priority must always be how we can help the people of Europe.
To og et halvt års erfaringer har allerede vist, at den er nødvendig.
It is important for us that we see that he gets the resources he needs.
Et klart eksempel på dette er den eksplosive vækst i antallet af klager, som sidste år var på 40 %.
As a member of the Committee on Petitions, like you, Mr President, I have worked very closely with Mr Söderman.
En af EU's og Europa-Parlamentets
Nobody could say that he is acting in a flamboyant or ex-
Formanden. - Fru Muller, De har kritiseret de holdninger, som formanden for Parlamentet - som ikke er her, men som jeg repræsenterer i øjeblikket - har givet udtryk for, og jeg er forpligtet til at gøre Dem opmærksom på, at formanden her i salen har sagt, at der ikke findes en beret-
President - Thank you for publicly acknowledging that the President has acted correctly. I respect your opinions on the press, but I must inform you that the President is answerable to this House.
Europa-Parlamentet lægger således an til at vedtage et budget for 1999, der til syvende og sidst kun har det for mål at øge bevillingerne til propaganda.
Perry this issue, and I believe that it should be a matter of con cern to us that, if we are spending so much money on security, there should be some recognisable benefit in this area.
Og desuden er Præsidiet, som er ansvarligt for at svare på denne holdning, ved at udarbejde et svar.
His office is the smallest ombudsman's office of any in Europe, save Malta.
Dette var en temmelig præcis gengivelse af formandens ord, som jeg minder om.
So, his initial request for six temporary staff was one that, at the very least, merited full consideration and a meaningful dialogue.
Jeg giver Dem ordet i et minut til et indlæg til forretningsordenen. ordenen.
There are newspapers across Europe that are making a living exposing the errors and flaws of the European administration.
Men det vil ikke ændre noget.
We should make sure he gets those resources.
Den føderalistiske propaganda vil utrætteligt fortsætte med at forsøge at få dem, der helt bevidst går imod den europæ iske integrationsproces, til at skifte mening.
If we want to look at where that money can come from, I suggest we do a proper cost-benefit analysis on the Economic and So cial Committee.
Müller (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, formålet med min tale var ikke at modbevise det, formanden sagde i morges, men derimod at redegøre for, at jeg forventede en politisk reaktion. Det er det Jeg kritiserer.
It was the case that special units were made available to guard the Parliament during the session which the Parliament held in Strasbourg.
Selvfølgelig blev den omdelt alt for sent til gruppeformændene, og selvfølgelig fik jeg den som parlamentsmedlem også i går aftes. Det var ikke for målet!
I believe that it would be sensible to speed up official discussions in order to guarantee the security of the House and to ensure that costs are incurred in this area in a way which is really efficient.
Formålet var, at jeg efterlyste en politisk reaktion fra vores formands side, når pressen udenfor fuld af for modninger og antydninger udbeder sig svar, som alle medlemmerne af dette Parlament må give.
I believe that this is a matter of concern to the citizens of Brussels, and it is a matter of concern to all employees in the European Parliament and at the European level.
Det var en po litisk kritik, ikke en kritik af proceduren og forretningsordenen!
I would argue that we should hold discussions in this area.
Dér har formanden med sikkerhed ret!
The President promised to do so, and I believe that it should be a matter of concern for us all to look after the security of people in Brussels.
Perry (PPE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg kan gå fuldt ud ind for behovet for meget stærke budgetmæssige stramninger, og især hvad angår de penge, vi bruger på institutionerne.
President. - Thank you very much, Mr Riibig.
Formanden. - Jeg er glad for, at De offentligt vedgår, at formanden har handlet korrekt.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Riibig's was the last speech.
Deres holdninger vedrørende pressen er lige så respektable som alle andres, men jeg må gøre Dem opmærksom på, hvem formanden for Parlamentet er ansvarlig over for.
The Commissioner, Mr Liikanen - whom I welcome -has told me that he does not wish to speak.
Fabre-Aubrespy (I-EDN). - (FR) Hr. formand, jo mere gennemskuelige og klare vi er i denne sag, jo bedre vil det være for Parlamentet.
Before closing the debate, I shall give the floor to Mr Viola, as rapporteur.
Jeg minder om, at jeg for lang til siden foreslog, at et udvalg skulle tage sig af alle disse spørgsmål.
Perhaps he would like to explain to Mr Perry how big the Maltese Ombudsman's office is, be cause I know that Mr Viola was in Malta before coming here yesterday.
Når dette er sagt, må vores prioritet altid være, hvordan vi kan hjælpe Europas folk. Så jeg vil også koncentrere mig om budgettet, der omhandler ombudsmanden.
Piha (PPE). - (FI) Mr President, first I would like to thank the draftsman of the report for some very painstaking work.
Den euro pæiske ombudsmandsfunktion er en meget vigtig rolle.
The opportunity to appeal to an ombudsman is one of the most important rights citizens of the Union have.
Det er vigtigt for os, at vi sørger for, at han får de ressourcer, han har behov for.
The Ombudsman's task is to handle complaints about errors made by other institutions of the Community.
Som medlem af Udvalget om An dragender ligesom Dem, hr. formand, har jeg arbejdet meget tæt sammen med hr. Söderman.
The office of the Eu ropean Ombudsman has been getting an ever-increasing number of enquiries.
Han er en yderst samvittighedsfuld embedsmand.
This shows that our citizens have re garded the work of the Ombudsman as essential in solving the problems that have cropped up in Union administration. tration.
Ingen vil kunne sige, at han optræder prangende og ekstravagant. Det er ikke hans finske stil.
Viola (PPE), rapporteur. - (IT) Mr President, precisely with regard to the Ombudsman, which all the Members have been discussing, there are a few things I would like to say.
Tillad mig at blive forbavset over, at der endnu en gang finder en budgetforhandling sted her i Bruxelles.
In his report Mr Viola suggests establishing three new posts to ease the work pressures on the Ombudsman's of fice.
Dette er en klar overtrædelse af Edinburgh-kompromiset, der er blevet stadfæstet både af Domstolen og af Amsterdam traktaten. Kære hr. Tomlinson, der var flere til stede under forhandlingen om de budgetære retningslinjer, der blev afholdt i år i Strasbourg.
The problem, however, is not only the number of new posts, but, more particularly, their professional level.
Der er aviser over hele Europa, der har gjort det til deres levevej at afsløre brister og fejl i den europæiske administration. Der er beklageligvis alt for mange sådanne brister og fejl.
So, if we approach this matter with a sense of balance and moderation, I am prepared to discuss it again, provided that- and I repeat- there is balance, moderation and compliance with the rules.
I ombudsmanden har vi en embedsmand, der kan handle på Europas folks vegne, men hvis han skal gøre dette arbejde ordentligt, har han behov for de rigtige ressourcer til at gøre det. Vi bør se til, at han får disse res sourcer.
I hope we can yet consider the proposal by the Ombudsman on the number of staff he requires, and especially on their professional level, before we finally approve the 1999 budget in the autumn.
Piha (PPE). - (FI) Hr. formand, jeg takker først ordføreren for et særlig omhyggeligt arbejde.
Rübig (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, I should also like to congratulate Mr Viola most sincerely on his report and come immediately to budget line 205 concerning these curity and surveillance of buildings.
Jeg vil også hen lede Deres opmærksomhed på den europæiske ombudsmands budget.
In this case we have a rate of increase of 67 %, we are spending a total of ECU 17 million on our security, and we know that there is cer tainly a need to improve security in the building.
Muligheden for at appellere til ombudsmanden er en af de vigtigste rettigheder for Unionens medborgere.
There has been a great deal of theft in the House.
Ombudsmandens kontor har nu fungeret i tilstrækkelig lang tid til at vurdere, hvor stort et personale der behøves for at producere en tilstrækkelig kvalitativ og hurtig service til uni-
President. - The next item is the report (A4-0168/98) by Mrs Van Lancker, on behalf of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, on the situation of frontier workers in the European Union.
Det europæiske ombudsmandskontor har oplevet et konstant stigende antal udredningsefterspørgsler.
Of course, only in those cases in which a Europe test finds that changes in tax and social legislation do lead to income losses and the Member State in question never theless decides to go ahead with the changes, and some times Member States have good grounds for so doing, only then would a compensation fund come into operation.
Dette er et tegn på, at medborgerne har erfaret, at den europæiske ombudsmands funktion er nødvendig for at afbøde ulemper i Unionens administration.
I therefore hope that colleagues can drop their last remaining objections to this proposal.
Viola (PPE), ordfører. - (IT) Hr. formand, jeg vil gerne sige et par ord om ombudsmanden, som alle mine kolleger kom ind på i deres indlæg.
Van Lancker (PSE), rapporteur. - (NL) Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen though few in number, I do not think I am wrong in saying that frontier workers can serve as a barometer for social integration in the European Union.
Der er ingen, som benægter, at ombudsmandens aktivitet har været stigende i de seneste år, men hans oprindelige krav indeholder nogle elementer, der er i modstrid med reglerne i vedtægten for tjenestemænd og med de normer for rationalisering af de administrative udgifter, som de tre institutioner har fast lagt.
Although there are only about 380 000 of them in Europe, they perform such an important signal function that they should be high on every agenda: on that of the Monti Group on tax coordination, in the Commission's Action Plan for the free movement of workers and in the plans for a European labour market.
Ombudsmanden kan f.eks. ikke bede om nogle stil linger, der ikke svarer til den oprindelige status, og han kan ikke bede direkte om nogle stillinger med høj status.
We can read from the situation of frontier workers how low the level of integration of the European labour market still is.
Visse opnormeringer, såsom opnormeringen fra en A3 til en A2 efter knap tre år - det vil sige, at en tjenestemand, der er ansat udefra som A3, bliver A2 efter tre år - forekommer mig således ærlig talt at være lidt for meget at bede om.
How many obstacles there still are to the free movement of persons, how hard we still need to work in order to align social security systems and taxation arrangements of the Member States more closely with one another.
Problemet er dog ikke kun antallet af nye stillinger, men specielt niveauet for disse.
For example, on 1 January 1994, when a change in the financing of the Dutch national insurance system left 13 000 frontier workers with a loss in pay averaging 3 000 Belgian Francs per month.
Unionsborgerne har ret til at forvente, at det europæiske ombudsmandskontor, som skal behandle deres klager, råder over et personale, som mindst har en erfaring, som svarer til er faringen hos det personale, som sidder i de Fælleskabsorganer, som skal undersøges.
Good enough reason for the Belgian trade unions to sound the alarm and use their right of petition, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Ellers skaber vi en situation, hvor EU-bureaukraterne kører i en toptunet racerbil, og ombudsmanden, som skal varetage sager for medborgerne i Den Europæiske Union, kører i en almindelig familiebil, lad os sige f.eks. en Mazda 323. Jeg synes ikke, det er fair over for den medborger, som har sendt en klage.
In deed we have learned enough from our inquiries in com mittee meetings, from scientific studies, from judgments of the European Court of Justice, from the testimony of the EURES consultants, to convince us that every border area has its problems.
Men hvis vi griber dette emne fornuftigt og moderat an, så er jeg villig til at komme ind på det igen, såfremt vi -som jeg sagde før - er fornuftige, moderate og overholder reglerne.
It is also Parliament's intention with this report to achieve a further step towards European coordination in social security and fiscal legislation in the Member States.
