Generellesager ligger til grund for Kommissionens betalinger, er lovlige og formelt rigtige.
The IGC, he emphasised, would run from February to December next year with a specific remit for examining the size of the Commission, the value or "weighting" of votes in Council and qualified majority voting.
Han mindede om, at EU på miljøområdet har et meget højt ambitionsniveau i forhold til USA og udviklingslandene.
On defence, he emphasised that the intention was not to set up a European army but merely to provide the military resources to undertake a peacekeeping role and here it was important to look at the question of a civilian police force to guarantee stability in countries affected by crises.
Han vurderede, at vejen frem går gennem et samarbejde med udviklingslandene, og at en betingelse for dette samarbejde er at lette adgangen til EU's marked for produkter fra disse lande.
Progress had also been made on environmental questions and the Commission is to come forward with six action programmes, envisaging the long-term strategy by the end of next year.
En sådan ændring af forvaltningskultur og -praksis bør indgå som et centralt element i reformen af den økonomiske forvaltning, understreges det i beretningen.
He welcomed the setting-up of the IGC but emphasised the importance of extended qualified majority voting.
(15/12) Parlamentet vedtog et beslutningsforslag, hvori det udtrykker håbet om, at der inden for en ikke alt for fjern fremtid skal iværksætte en ny runde af vidtrækkende forhandlinger i WTO.
He did however, still want the conference to look at the question of setting up a basic EU Treaty to be followed later with specific legislative proposals.
Parlamentet understreger betydningen af multilaterale handelsforhandlinger til fordel for alle lande og befolkninger og som et instrument til sikring af en bæredygtig udvikling og navnlig for tilvejebringelse af velfærd, velstand, vækst, beskæftigelse og udryddelse af fattigdommen i verden.
On the question of Turkey, he had to admit that the majority of members in the group were sceptical about taking on board this country with a different political, economic and cultural tradition to that of other European nations.
Revisionsretten anfører således, at ansvarsfordelingen mellem anvisningsberettigede, finansinspektører og regnskabsførere bør ændres, således at de anvisningsberettigede i de operationelle generaldirektorater bærer det fulde ansvar for indgåelse af forpligtelser og afholdelse af betalinger.
Nevertheless, he did express his support for seeing Turkey as a friend and helping the EU to support the country and its moves towards creating a civil society based on respect for human rights.
I denne forbindelse bør den interne revision også styrkes væsentligt, ligesom finansinspektøremes og regnskabsførernes personlige ansvar bør fastlægges helt klart, anbefaler Revisionsretten.
There was also the question of dealing with the Kurdish minority and the role of the Turkish military, he added.
Parlamentet opfordrer Rådet og Kommissionen til at uddybe og udvide de tosidede handelsforbindelser med de lande eller blokke, som anvender samme handelsstrategi som EU, uden dog at undergrave det multilaterale system.
He then welcomed the agreement to move towards a European defence policy, emphasising his support for the EU to have the means or the equipment to act in a foreign policy area.
Parlamentet fastslår, at der især må gøres en indsats for at give markedsadgang for varer fra udviklingslandene for at lette disse landes aktive deltagelse i fremtidige forhandlinger om samhandel.
For the PES, Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (E) too welcomed the Helsinki Summit, although like Mr Poettering, he had to admit that there were differences of opinion within the group on the question of Turkey's membership.
Revisionsrettens formand, Jan O. KARLSSON, indledte sin beretning med at fastslå, at alle EU's medlemsstater og institutioner bærer deres del af ansvaret for de kritisable forhold, og at et samarbejde er nødvendigt for at få rettet op på forholdene.
On the IGC, he felt it should be seen as a way of moving forward, rather than picking up "leftovers" from Amsterdam.
Han påpegede, at medlemsstaternes kontrolsystemer lader meget tilbage at ønske.
He did however take issue with Parliament's "observer" status, emphasising that what MEPs wanted was representation in the conference.
De mest almindelige fejl går ud på, at der udbetales støtte til uberettigede formål, at der udbetales for meget i støtte, at udbudsprocedurer ikke er fulgt, og at der ikke foreligger tilstrækkelig dokumentation.
On the withholding tax, he emphasised that it was not just a European question and trusted that progress could be made towards a global solution.
- Der bør fastsættes klare mål for fællesskabspolitikkerne, og resultaterne bør vurderes på basis af disse mål - Kommissionens interne kontrol bør omlægges, og medlemsstaternes kontrol bør udbygges, således at der er større sikkerhed for, at aktioner
While welcoming the decision on Turkey, he emphasised the need for progress on such areas as human rights, abolishing the death penalty and respect for minorities.
(13/12) 1 revisionserklæringen om 1998regnskaberne understreger Revisionsretten endnu engang problemerne med EU's regnskab.
However, he warned of the need for an early agreement on institutional questions at the IGC, pointing out that "reforms must not become the enemy of enlargement."
Dels er der svagheder i regnskabssystemerne, der medfører, at regnskabsoplysningerne i nogle tilfælde er ukorrekte eller ufuldstændige.
The reforms were absolutely vital, he emphasised, before expressing his disappointment at the decision to limit the agenda of the IGC to institutional questions.
Deis fungerer systemerne til forvaltning og intern kontrol på hvert enkelt administrationsled, fra Kommissionen til mellemled som f.eks. myndighederne i medlemsstaterne og helt ud til de enkelte støttemodtagere ikke godt nok.
He too agreed on the need for Parliament to get involved in the negotiations as an equal partner.
Dette medfører et så væsentligt antal substansfejl og formelle fejl, at Revisionsretten heller ikke i år kan afgive en erklæring om, at de transaktioner, der
Furthermore, while welcoming the agreement on defence and the decision to set up the rapid reaction force, he did warn that this should not undermine the Atlantic alliance and give support to those isolationists in the USA.
Nyt fra Parlamentet - Dec.-ll 1999
He also felt it was necessary for a wider debate on the implications of the new defence policy, both for non-
■" > '-'tiãíí- í- ■'* r og transaktioner er lovlige og formelt rigtige og giver valuta for pengene -
He looked forward to defence ministers reporting to the European Parliament.
Revisionsretten bør fremlæge uddybende statistiske oplysninger samt foretage en tilbagevendende rapportering om faste programpunkter, således at man kan konstatere eventuelle forbedringer, sluttede hun.
Heidi Anneli HAUTALA (Greens/EFA, FIN) welcomed the progress made on transparency under the Finnish Presidency and looked forward to a Commission proposal on improving citizens' access to documents.
Beretningen er ikke ligefrem godnatlæsning, mente Bart STÆS (Verts/ALE, B). Han konstaterede, at det især er Kommissionen, der er i skudlinjen, men at størstedelen af EU's midler forvaltes nationalt.
She was also satisfied with the other aspects of the Summit agreement on enlargement and Turkey, where she took the view that Islam could be incorporated into a multicultural Europe.
Der må derfor være behov for at skærpe kontrollen i medlemsstaterne, sagde han.
She was also in favour of developing the independent military capability for the EU outside of NATO.
EU gaber over for meget i forhold til de muligheder, som man har, sagde Marianne ERIKSSON (GUE/NGL, S).
Esko SEPPÄNEN (EUL/NGL, FIN) on the other hand, expressed concern about the military developments.
Hun mente, at medlemsstaterne derrfor må påtage sig et større ansvar for forvaltningen af EU's midler.
He saw the moves as the introduction of a European army under another name, pointing out that the decision to set up an EU military committee and a political security committee without Parliamentary scrutiny was another worrying development.
Parlamentet skal informeres i rette tid og i hvert fald før pressen, sagde Diemut THEATO (PPE/DE, D), der henviste til, at en forhåndsberetning var blevet lækket til pressen i utide.
This, he feared, would lead to an increase in military budgets and he questioned whether the EU's role could be extended in this way without Parliamentary approval.
Gianfranco DELL'ALBA (TDI, I) krævede et udvidet samarbejde mellem Revisionsretten og de tilsvarende nationale myndigheder for at dæmme op for svindel med EU-midler i medlemsstaterne.
Gerard COLLINS (UEN, Munster) too welcomed the Helsinki Summit and its commitment to enlargement, to be pursued by negotiations on 38 separate areas.
Hun bemærkede, at det er femte gang, Revisionsretten giver en negativ revisionspåtegning.
While recognising that this would bring about substantial changes to the EU, he agreed on the 2002 deadline for the IGC and institutional reforms which were vital for the process to succeed.
Hun understregede, at en stor del af EU's midler forvaltes i medlemsstaterne, og at der er behov for at udføre en ordentlig kontrol på nationalt plan.
Yet, he warned, any agreement must be reached only after careful consideration and consultation to ensure that it had the support of Europe's citizens.
Kommisionen har et medansvar for at føre tilsyn med medlemsstaternes anvendelse af EU-midler, sagde Rijk van DAM (EDD, NL).
In particular, he did not want to see unanimity voting abolished for taxation and foreign security policies.
Han gik ind for en bedre koordinering og effektivisering af fællesskabspolitikkerne, således at der ikke via strukturfondene udbetales støtte til projekter, der er i modstrid med miljøpolitikken.
On Turkey, he expressed his support for human rights reforms, whilst on Chechnya, a long-term solution could only come through a negotiated settlement.
Det er ikke nok at være påpasselig med at bruge penge, man skal også se på, om EU's politikker bliver gennemført på en effektiv og økonomisk forsvarlig måde, sagde hun.
Jens-Peter BONDE (EDD, DK) considered that the EU was moving away from being a community of nations to becoming a nation itself, although it was still dominated by the major powers such as France and Britain.
Hun ønskede en styrkelse af kontrolsystemer og ledelsessystemer og en revision af finansforordningen.
He did not consider that enlargement would lead to more democracy in the EU.
Det gælder også i medlemsstaterne, der forvalter 85% af EU-budgettet, understregede hun.
Gerhard HAGER (IND, A) felt that the Amsterdam Treaty must be improved but in general worthwhile results had been reached in Helsinki.
Jeg er selvfølgelig glad for, at Danmark ikke specielt står for skud i år, sagde Freddy BLAK (Socialdemokratiet), der talte på vegne af De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe.
Andrew DUFF (ELDR, Eastern) welcomed in particular the reform of Council and the programme to improve the performance and co-ordinating role of the General Affairs Council.
Endelig bad hun Revisionsrettens formand om at tilkendegive, hvorvidt der efter hans opfattelse er forhold i den foreliggende beretning, der bør forhindre Parlamentet i at meddele Kommissionen decharge for 1998-budgettet.
He believed that the extension of EU competence into the defence field meant that Parliament should also be extending its scope to the defence field - especially when the West European Assembly was closed down.
Der er især behov for at ændre personalekulturen, sagde han.
This was the way to achieve proper democratic scrutiny.
Det sker for sjældent, at man suspenderer eller fyrer de ansatte, hvis de er inkompetente eller korrupte, mente han.
He wanted to know in particular what plans the Presidency had to start a dialogue with Parliament on security and defence questions.
Borgerne er trætte af at høre om rod i EU's finanser, sagde Lousewies van der LAAN (ELDR, NL).
Replying to the debate, Mr LIPPONEN stated that Council was assuming that the IGC should be completed by the end of 2000 to allow the Treaties to be ratified and enlargement to start.
Det er på tide, at Revisionsrettens beretning bliver taget alvorligt, sagde hun.
He asked whether enlargement should be postponed to allow sufficient time for national parliaments to debate the institutional changes.
Hun mente, at medlemsstaterne bør forvalte EU-midlerne med samme omhu, som hvis det drejede sig om nationale midler.
He stressed that the EU was not about creating a European army or crisis management force that would go out warmongering.
Det et et forkert signal at sende til kommende ledere i Kommissionen, hvis de ansvarlige for skandalerne kan fortsætte i gode stillinger,
He underlined that cooperation with Russia was in the interest of all, despite the current crisis in Chechnya. He believed that openness and good

governance must be taken seriously and he emphasised the need for transparency.
Vi finder det alarmerende, når Revisionsretten for femte gang fremsætter en negativ revisionspåtegning, sagde kommissær Michaele SCHREYER Hun understegede, at Kommissionen er i færd med et omfattende reformarbejde for at stramme den finansielle styring.
For the Commission, Romano PRODI began by regretting that failure to reach agreement on fiscal aspects.
Reformerne vil omfatte en bedre målstyring, en større ansvarlighed og en øget gennemsigtighed i regskabsaflæggelsen.
He also noted the consensus that there should be no double standards on Chechnya and the broad support for a rapid reaction force - although he recognised some disquiet in this area.
På denne baggrund skal regeringskonferencen om reform af EU's institutioner starte allerede i februar 2000 med henblik på. at de nødvendige reformer kan være gennemført inden udgangen af år 2002, således at EU kan være rede til at modtage de nye medlemmer.
He assured MEPs that the Parliament's role at the forthcoming IGC would be greater than it had been at Amsterdam, although there may have been less progress than they would have liked.
Parlamentet får lejlighed til at deltage i regeringskonferencen med to observatører, sagde rådsformanden.
On enlargement, he pointed to the major decisions taken at Helsinki and the points of reference that would change.
Hun fremhævede, at Kommissionen nu vil studere beretningen for i samarbejde med medlemsstaterne at træffe de fornødne foranstaltning til en systematisk afhjælpning af de påpegede fejl og mangler.
It was important to convince public opinion regarding the merits of enlargement, he concluded.
Revisionsrettens formand, Jan O. KARLSSON afrundede debatten med at understrege, at Revisionsrettens opgave er at fremlægge alle relevante oplysninger, for at Parlamentet på et fyldestgørende grundlag kan træffe de fornødne politiske beslutninger.
In its subsequent adoption of this resolution, Parliament welcomed the Council's decision to begin negotiations on the accession with six new countries.
På topmødet blev der i meget kraftige vendinger taget afstand fra den overdrevne russiske magtanvendelse i Tjetjenien.
The resolution notes the decision to consider Turkey as a candidate country but stresses that negotiations cannot be opened because Turkey is a long way from meeting the Copenhagen criteria.
De russiske myndigheder er blevet underrettet om, at man overvejer at suspendere partnerskabsaftalen mellem EU og Rusland, og at man ligeledes påtænker at anvende midler fra Tacisprogrammet til humanitær bistand.
The resolution goes on to deplore the "lack of political vision" displayed by Council in restricting the scope of institutional reform at the next IGC and calls for further items to be added to the agenda.
EU's stats- og regeringschefer har endvidere anmodet OSCE og Europarådet om at revurdere samarbejdet med Rusland.
It also calls for Parliament to have a more significant role at the IGC and in the development of the Common Foreign and Security Policy.
Rådsformanden fremhævede, at OSCE-topmødet i Istanbul den 18. november har resulteret i underskrivelsen af et europæisk sikkerhedscharter.
Tuesday 14 December - French President Jacques CHIRAC came to Strasbourg to open officially the new Parliament building and was welcomed by President Nicole FONTAINE.
Ifølge dette charter skal de grundlæggende menneskerettigheder også respekteres i forbindelse med interne konflikter.
She applauded the fact that Parliament finally had its own building which was a symbol of Europe's desire to live in peace.
Charteret giver samtidigt en platform for det humanitære samarbejde med internationale organisationer og NGO'er.
She thanked the Council of Europe for accommodating Parliament for 40 years.
(14/12) Den fungerende rådsformand, den finske statsminister Paavo LIPPONEN, gav en redegørelse for konklusionerne fra topmødet i Helsingfors den 10.-11. december 1999.
She also thanked the French government and the Strasbourg authorities for their support and all others who had been involved in the building's construction.
For så vidt angår Tjetjenien er EU's strategi at lægge pres på de russiske myndigheder for at opnå en politisk løsning, at fordømme bombningerne og at hjælpe de nødstedte.
She also hoped that the teething problems of the building could be put to one side.
Man vil bekæmpe krænkelserne af menneskerettighederne og vil forsøge at hindre en spredning af konflikten, navnlig til Georgien, sagde rådsformanden.
Mrs Fontaine then noted that the British Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin in 1949 had proposed Strasbourg as a symbolic place for a new and peaceful Europe.
Han understregede, at det samtidigt er vigtigt at undgå at isolere Rusland.
He had referred to "this great city which has been the witness to the stupidity of the human race" and wanted it to become "a symbol of European unity".
På mødet fremsatte EU's stats- og regeringschefer en millennium-erklæring, hvori man understreger Unionens grundlæggende værdier og beskriver udfordringerne i det 21. århundrede.
Mrs Fontaine, then paid tribute to Louise WEISS, after whom the building had been named and who had been the oldest Member in the first directly elected parliament in 1979.
Med hensyn til udviklingen af en europæisk forsvars- og sikkerhedspolitik takkede rådsformanden medlemsstaterne for deres beredvillighed til at deltage i den militære krisestyring. EU er nødt til at udvikle de
Mrs Fontaine made a plea for member states to reach agreement in the interests of solidarity and the common good.
Rådsformanden fremhævede, at den kommende udvidelse er den største udfordring, idet man hermed åbner døren for 13 nye medlemsstater.
She referred specially to difficulties in recent days "between two member states" and recognised the hardships being caused by this dispute.
Takket være navnlig græsk velvilje har Tyrkiet fået status som kandidatland.
She called for a settlement of this problem and expressed her conviction that it could be reached.
Det vil efter Rådets opfattelse give ny impuls til reformarbejdet i
In conclusion, Mrs Fontaine underlined the growing importance of Parliament and the EU and wanted the ceremony to be a sign of unity for all the citizens of the EU.
- < «ύ£ nødvendige ressourcer til at kunne varetage Petersberg-opgaverne, sagde han. til Parlamentet, navnlig retten til at godkende traktatændringer.
He then praised the work of the architects and all those involved in the construction of the new facilities, accepting that there had been teething troubles at the beginning.
Et flertal i gruppen går ind for tyrkisk medlemskab af EU, sagde han.
Such problems, he felt, were perhaps inevitable in view of the size of the project.
Det forudsætter dog, at Tyrkiet gennemfører et omfattende reformprogram og opbygger et egentligt civilsamfund med respekt for bl.a. det kurdiske mindretal.
He trusted however, that following measures taken quickly by the authorities, everything was now able to work smoothly.
På længere sigt er der dog behov for en grundlæggende debat om den geografiske udstrækning af EU, understregede han.
This magnificent new building, President Chirac said, was now in keeping with Parliament's new role conferred on it by the Treaties.
Afslutningsvis glædede rådsformanden sig over det økonomiske opsving i EU, men fremhævede behovet for en mere strømlinet beskæftigelsespolitik.
The resignation of the Commission earlier in this year following the report by the Committee of Experts commissioned by Parliament, did, he felt, signal the end of an era - an era that had been characterised by an EU that was too technocratic and too secretive in its ways.
Han beklagede, at der ikke var opnået enighed om en skatteharmoniseringsaftale på topmødet, og endelig nævnte han behovet for yderligere tiltag på miljøområdet med henblik på at medlemsstaterne kan ratificere Kyotoprotokollen inden udgangen af år 2002.
Parliament's actions had opened up the doors and showed its ability to use its powers wisely.
Endelig skal EU have de nødvendige midler til at kunne gennemføre en troværdig forsvarspolitik og udgøre en stabiliserende faktor i verden, sluttede Hans-Gert POETTERING (PPE/DE, D).
In fact, he continued, it was necessary to dispel the myth that the European Parliament had few powers.
Borgerne i EU bør inddrages i højere grad, og de har krav på en forklaring med hensyn til WTO-forhandlingerne i Seattle, sagde Enrique BARÓN CRESPO (PSE, E).
The Treaty had gradually increased its field of competence and responsibilities, recently reinforced by the Amsterdam Treaty.
Kommissionsformanden, Romano PRODI, glædede sig over, at Tyrkiet nu har fået status som kandidatland.
The recent hearings of new Commissioners and the pronouncements made by the European Parliament showed its value in the process of nominating the new Commission.
På længere sigt er der dog behov for en grundlæggende diskussion om EU's geografiske udstrækning, sagde han.
He then paid tribute to Parliament which he acknowledged was now taking on an important role in carving out European legislation.
Han understregede, at den kommende udvidelse er et historisk skridt fremad, og at hans gruppe enstemmigt støtter Tyrkiets status som kandidatland.
And, he continued, Parliament's role would increase after the next round of reforms agreed at the Helsinki Summit.
Kommissionsformanden noterede sig med tilfredshed, at der er truffet beslutning om opstilling af en europæisk udrykkestyrke på 60.000 mand, der skal kunne indsættes med 60 dages varsel.
He supported the notion that any extension of qualified majority voting to new policy areas should be accompanied with the codecision procedure, with Parliament acting as co-legislator.
Han fastslog, at man ikke fortsat kan beskatte arbejdskraft højere og højere uden at beskatte opsparing, og at der derfor er behov for en skatteharmonisering, der rummer beskatning af renteindtægter i EU.
Yet Mr Chirac recognised that too few Europeans were aware of Parliament's key role in the decision-making process, as could be seen in the lowturnout at the recent elections.
Han understregede behovet for at opnå en fredelig løsning på konflikten i Tjetjenien og nævnte muligheden for at anvende midler fra Tacisprogrammet til dette formål.
It was therefore necessary to launch an information campaign and at the same time extend Parliament's credibility by adjusting the electoral system to bring the voter closer to the MEP and for there to be agreement on a statute for MEPs.
Med hensyn til regeringskonferencen er det forkert at tale om resterne fra Amsterdam, sagde han.
In response to this dilemma, he advocated a joint effort with more emphasis on tackling unemployment, social exclusion and the threat of drugs and crime.
Der er reelt tale om meget store og vanskelige spørgsmål, herunder integreringen af charteret om grundlæggende rettigheder i traktaten.
He was in favour of strengthening the social model and closer coordination of economic policies and furthering the creation of an area "of freedom, justice and security."
