Anttila, Ryynänen og Virrankoski (ELDR), skriftlig. — (FI) Undertegnede stemmer imod det mistillidsvotum, der er fremsat over for Kommissionen, fordi det ikke er bevist, at Kommissionen i sin embedsudførelse har gjort sig skyldig i handlinger, som retfærdiggør, at den bør afskediges, om end der er ting at bemærke i administrationen.
Anttila, Ryynänen and Virrankoski (ELDR), in writing. — (FI) We the undersigned voted against the motion of censure against the Commission, as it had not been shown that the Commission was guilty, in the discharge of its official duties, of any one particular action that might result in a call for resignations, although there is cause for comment with regard to its administration.
Det er i Finlands interesse, at en funktionsduelig Kommission kan afbalancere de store medlemslandes magt i forhold til de små lande her i slutfasen af forhandlingerne om Agenda 2000, hvor vores land har væsentlige nationale interesser at våge over.
It is in accordance with Finnish interests that a properly functioning Commission continues to maintain the balance of power between the large Member States and the smaller countries in the final round of the Agenda 2000 talks, in which our country has important national interests to protect.
Vi mener dog, det erstrengt påkrævet, at Kommissionen i overensstemmelse med Parlamentets krav foretager de nødvendige foranstaltninger for at forbedre økonomiforvaltningen og gøre ansvarsdelingen mellem de enkelte kommissærer klarere. Uklarheder og misforståelser skal opklares, og parterne skal kunne stilles til ansvar.
We nevertheless regard it as vital that the Commission should embark on measures, as requested by Parliament, to improve the administration of its finances and clarify individual responsibilities within the Commission.
Grosch (PPE), skriftlig. — (FR) De informationer, Parlamentet og specielt Budgetkontroludvalget i de sidste uger har modtaget, gør det umuligt for mig at have tillid til visse kommissærers politiske ledelse.
Grosch (PPE), in writing. — (FR) The information that has been given to Parliament in the last few weeks, especially that given to the Committee on Budgetary Control, prevents me from maintaining my confidence in the political management of certain Commissioners.
Parlamentet har svækket sig selv ved at betro sin kontrolopgave til en vismandsgruppe.
Parliament has weakened itself by entrusting its task of monitoring the Commission to a committee of experts.
Jeg undlod at stemme i afstemningen om mistillidsvotummet mod den samlede Kommission, for jeg kan ikke fordømme en hel institution for visse enkeltpersoners gøren og laden.
I abstained from the vote of confidence in the Commission as a whole because I cannot condemn an entire institution for the actions of a few within it.
Derudover vil jeg ikke lade mig bruge i et politisk spil, som visse grupper styrer, et spil, der mere er dikteret af interesser, som har at gøre med valget i deres region, end med en objektiv bedømmelse af situationen.
Moreover, I cannot be a party to the political game being played by certain groups, a game which is dictated more by electoral interests in their regions than by an objective assessment of the situation.
Hvis hver krise i sig bærer muligheden for en ny start, kan vi ved vores holdning tvinge Kommissionen til at gøre en ende på visse uregelmæssigheder og på overdrevent bureaukrati
If every crisis brings with it a chance of renewal, we can, through our attitude, force the Commission to put an end to malpractice and to excessive bureaucracy.
Bonde, Krarup og Sandbæk (I-EDN), skriftlig. — Juni-Bevægelsen og Folkebevægelsen har alene stemt for at nævne navne på individuelle kommissærer, fordi EU-Parlamentets største gruppe har meddelt, at de kun vil stemme for deres eget forslag til mistillid, hvis der i EU-Parlamentet er flertal for at kritisere en navngivet kommissær.
Bonde, Krarup and Sandbæk (I-EDN), in writing. — (DA) The June Movement and the People's Movement have only voted to name individual Commissioners because the largest group in the European Parliament said that it would only vote for its own motion of censure if there was a majority in Parliament in favour of criticising a named Commissioner.
Der er forskel på skyld og ansvar.
There is a difference between blame and accountability.
Man kan godt have ansvar — uden at have skyld.
You can have accountability without having blame.
Juni-Bevægelsen og Folkebevægelsen tager ikke stilling til, hvem der har skyld.
The June Movement and the People's Movement do not have an opinion about who is to blame.
Vi stemmer for mistillid til Kommissionen som kollegium, fordi Kommissionen har ansvaret og må bære ansvaret for, at så meget er gået galt og vil fortsætte med at gå galt.
We are voting to censure the Commission as a college because the Commission is accountable and must accept responsibility for the fact that so much has gone wrong and will continue to go wrong.
Hvis ikke den politiske ledelse påtager sig ansvaret, er der ikke noget ansvar.
If the political leadership does not accept accountability, then there is no accountability.
Så er EU's budget et tag-selv-bord.
The EU's budget would then become a matter of helping oneself.
Santer er fange i sit eget fort. Personalekommissæren er fange. Personaledirektøren er fange.
Mr Santer is a prisoner in his own fortress.
Kun et mistillidsvotum vil slippe fangerne fri og skabe en ny kultur med åbenhed, nærhed og demokrati i stedet for lukkethed, arrogance og bureaukrati.
Only a motion of censure will release the prisoners and create a new culture of openness, closeness to the people and democracy, instead of secrecy, arrogance and bureaucracy.
Santer reagerede resolut, da han ikke skulle gøre det. Men han var ikke resolut, da han skulle være det. Han fyrede en funktionær for at give et dokument til en folkevalgt.
Mr Santer reacted firmly when he should not have done, but he was not firm when he should have been.
Han skulle have fyret dem, der forhindrer, at folkevalgte får, hvad de spørger om.
He ought to have sacked the people who prevent elected representatives from obtaining what they ask for.
Derfor ønsker også JuniBevægelsen og Folkebevægelsen at fyre Santers Kommission i dag.
That is why the June Movement and the People's Movement wish to sack Mr Santer's Commission today.
Lannoye (V), skriftlig. — (FR) De sidste måneders begivenheder, som har medført, at Europa-Parlamentet har nægtet at give decharge for budgetåret 1996, har tydeligt vist en gennemgående mangel på fasthed i forvaltningen af og opfølgningen på et stort antal fællesskabsinitiativer og -programmer.
Lannoye (V), in writing. — (FR) The events of the last few months, which led the European Parliament to refuse discharge for the 1996 financial year, widely demonstrated a general lack of rigour in the management and monitoring of a number of Community initiatives and programmes.
Denne mangel på fasthed, som fører til spild og er ødelæggende for Den Europæiske Unions interesser og image, er i sig selv tilstrækkelig grund til at udvise mistillid til Kommissionen.
This lack of rigour, which leads to waste and damages the interests and the image of the European Union, is in itself a reason to express our lack of trust in the Commission.
Men oven i dette kommer så Kommissionens politisk helt uacceptable håndtering af dens igangværende konflikt med Parlamentet: nægtelse af at fremsende dokumenter, sprog uden indhold, endog arrogance, altsammen ting, der afslører en kultur med straffrihed, som man finder overalt i Kommissionen.
However, to this is added the Commission's politically unacceptable handling of the conflict with Parliament: a refusal to hand over documents, political cant, even arrogance, which reveal a culture of impunity that is present throughout the Commission.
Kommissionens gentagne snak om gennemsigtighed og vilje til »åbent samarbejde« med Parlamentet dækker over en allestedsnærværende realitet.
Repetitive speeches from the Commission about transparency and the desire for 'open cooperation' with Parliament disguise an ever present reality.
Gennemsigtigheden rækker som oftest ikke længere end til kendsgerninger, der er almindeligt kendte, og til sager, hvor parlamentsmedlemmerne har været nødt til at kæmpe sig til oplysninger.
There is often only transparency concerning widely-known issues and those on which Members have had to prise out information.
Samarbejdet er udelukkende retorisk: De parlamentsbeslutninger, som forbliver uden opfølgning, selv når de er blevet vedtaget med overvældende flertal, er efterhånden utallige, og det sker hyppigt, at Parlamentet tilsidesættes helt i tilfælde af »varme sager« (transatlantiske relationer, handelsaftaler...).
Cooperation is only rhetoric: we have lost count of the number of resolutions from Parliament that have still not yielded results, even when they have been adopted by a large majority, and Parliament is frequently kept at arm's length when it comes to burning issues such as transatlantic relations and trade agreements.
Nogle gør meget ud af Kommissionens påståede effektivitet i sin rolle som drivkraft for Den Europæiske Union og traktaternes vogter.
Some people cite the Commission's supposed efficiency in its role as the driving force behind the Union and the guardian of the Treaties.
Den nuværende Kommission demonstrerer fasthed med variabel geometri: Den går håndfast til værks, som hr. Van Mierf vil havde det, når det drejer sig om offentlige tilskud og mistanker om konkurrenceforvridning, mens den viser sig mere end reserveret, nærmest helt stum, når det drejer sig om at drage visse medlemsstater til ansvar.
The current Commission demonstrates varying levels of rigour: at the will of Mr Van Miert, it niggles over public aid and suspicions of distortion of competition, but it is more than reserved, if not silent, when it comes to implicating certain Member States.
Den britiske regerings holdning i operation »Ørkenræv« er således en krænkelse af traktatens artikel J. For så vidt angår »Echelon-sagen«, nægter Kommissionen ganske enkelt at svare.
For example, the attitude of the British Government in operation 'Desert Fox' is a violation of Article J of the Treaty, and with regard to the 'Echelon' affair, the Commission quite simply refuses to give an answer.
De nuværende mangler i forvaltningen, i gennemsigtigheden, i sammenhængen mellem de politiske initiativer er strukturelle. Det er Kommissionen i sin helhed, der er under anklage, og ikke kun den ene eller den anden kommissær.
The current breaches in terms of management, transparency, coherence and political initiative are of a structural nature: it is the Commission as a whole that is in question and not only one or two Commissioners.
De, der taler om et politisk tomrum i tilfælde af mistillid, tager fejl.
Those who talk about a political void in the event of censure are wrong.
Nok er der tale om en politisk krise, men det er en nyttig krise.
It is true that it brings on a political crisis, but it is a useful crisis.
Det er i virkeligheden illusorisk at tro, at Kommissionens rolle ansigt til ansigt med de forskellige udfordringer, Unionen står over for (reformen af den fælles landbrugspolitik og af strukturfondene, Unionens finansiering, udvidelsen) stadig kan være vigtig med den nuværende sammensætning.
In fact, it is an illusion to believe that the Commission can still play a significant role in the various challenges with which the Union is faced (reform of the CAP and of the Structural Funds, the funding of the Union, enlargement) with the team of Commissioners currently in place.
Santer-Kommissionen var alle rede politisk svag fra starten, men nu har den mistet sin troværdighed og autoritet!
The Santer Commission, which was already politically weak from the start, has lost its credibility and its authority!
Den bedste tjeneste, den kan gøre Den Europæiske Union, er at gå.
The best thing it can do for the European Union is to go.
Europa-Parlamentet har mulighed for at sende et kraftigt signal til den europæiske opinion ved at udtale mistillid til Kommissionen.
The European Parliament has the opportunity to send a strong signal to European public opinion by censuring the Commission: the time has come to admit that the European institutions are operating in an obsolete manner.
Tiden er inde til at konstatere, at de europæiske institutioner har en utidsvarende måde at fungere på, tiden er inde til at gøre de europæiske institutioner mere effektive og frem for alt mere demokratiske, i særdeleshed Kommissionen, hvis hybride status bør revideres.
The time has come to make the European institutions, and particularly the Commission, whose hybrid status must be reviewed, more efficient and above all more democratic.
Et mistillidsvotum til Kommissionen giver ikke i sig selv svaret, men det er den nødvendige betingelse for en forandring.
Censuring the Commission is not a solution in itself, but it is the necessary condition for change.
Den er ude af stand til at handle med den styrke, der kræves i de vigtige spørgsmål, der nu står på den europæiske dagsorden.
It is incapable of acting with the strength required on the important issues currently on the European agenda.
Som liberal og hengiven ven af Europa ville jeg med min stemme medvirke til at gendanne de europæiske borgeres tillid til EU's institutioner og til Europa-tanken.
As a Liberal and a devoted friend of Europe, I would like to use my vote to help restore the confidence of Europe's citizens in the EU institutions and the European idea.
Min holdning betyder ikke, at jeg benægter, at Kommissionen i mange henseender har gjort et godt stykke arbejde, samt at et flertal af kommissærerne er dygtige personer, der fortjener respekt.
My position does not mean that I deny that, in many ways, the Commission has done a good job and that the vast majority of the Commissioners are capable people deserving # of respect.
Derfor håber jeg også, at flertallet af kommissærer får mulighed for at fuldføre deres hverv via en genindsættelse i embedet.
It is therefore also my hope that the majority of Commissioners should be given the opportunity to fulfil their mandates by being confirmed in their office.
Jeg håber således, at Kommissionens formand Santer hurtigst muligt bliver erstattet af en person, der kan genskabe tillidert til Kommissionen samt til Unionen og EU-samarbejdet i sin helhed.
My hope therefore is that the Commission's President, Mr Santer, will soon be replaced by someone who can restore confidence in the Commission, and in the Union and cooperation in Europe as a whole.
Ford (PSE), skriftlig. — (EN) Som talsmand for EPLP-gruppen og dens leder, Alan Donnelly, nærer vi absolut ingen betænkelighed ved i dag at stemme imod hr. Fabre-Aubrespys mistillidsvotum til Kommissionen.
Ford (PSE), in writing. — Speaking on behalf of the EPLP and Alan Donnelly as its leader, we have absolutely no hesitation today in voting against Mr Fabre-Aubrespy's motion of censure against the European Commission.
Hr. Santer har alt for sent erkendt, at Kommissionens procedurer trænger til en drastisk overhaling, hvis der skal sættes en stopper for det system, der har tilladt svig, nepotisme og korruption at få indpas i Fællesskabets institutioner, hvilket man meget må beklage.
Mr Santer has belatedly recognised that the Commission's procedures need drastic overhaul if the system that has enabled fraud, nepotism and corruption to have a much regretted place within the institutions of the Community is to be ended.
Vi har også en forpligtelse fra Kommissionens formand til, at beskyldningerne mod kontrahenter, embedsmænd og kommissærer vil blive tilbundsgående undersøgt og forfulgt.
We also have a commitment from the President of the Commission that the allegations against contractors, officials and Commissioners will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted.
I dag ville det have været helt forkert for Parlamentet at handle som dommer, jury og bøddel før sådanne undersøgelser.
Today it would have been totally wrong for the Parliament to act as judge, jury and executioner in advance of such investigations.
Ikke desto mindre er dette begyndelsen, ikke afslutningen, på processen.
Nevertheless, this is the beginning not the end of the process.
Hvis de reformer, Kommissionen har lovet, ikke bliver til virkelighed, og hvis rapporten fra vismandsgruppen ikke bliver fulgt til punkt og prikke, vil vi herved tilkendegive, at vores kritiske støtte i dag ikke kan tages for givet i fremtiden.
If the Commission's promised reforms do not turn into reality, and if the report of the Group of Wise Men is not followed to the letter, we give notice that our critical support today cannot be taken for granted in the future.
Denne afstemning er i mindre grad en tillidsafstemning end en sidste advarsel.
This vote is less a vote of a confidence than a final warning.
Graenitz (PSE), skriftlig. — (DE) Jeg har stemt imod mistillidsvotummet, fordi jeg tror, at mit mål, nemlig en effektiv europæisk forvaltning og den dermed forbundne sparsommelige anvendelse af budgetmidlerne, kun kan nås, hvis der på europæisk niveau af alle de europæiske institutioner i fællesskab udvikles en ny europæisk forvaltningsstruktur. ningsstruktur.
Graenitz (PSE), in writing. — (DE) I voted against the motion of censure because I believe that my personal goal of efficient European administration and the concomitant economical use of budget resources can only be achieved if all the European institutions work together to create a new European-level administrative structure.
Ilaskivi, Matikainen-Kallström og Otila og træder tilbage frivilligt.
In view of the above we considered that it would be best for us to abstain in the vote on the censure motion.
Vi understreger desuden, at Unionens grundtraktat ikke giver Parlamentet mulighed for at stemme om tilliden til de enkelte kommissionsmedlemmer.
We would further like to emphasise that the Treaty of Rome does not permit Parliament to vote on the issue of confidence in individual Members of the Commission.
Lambrias (PPE), skriftlig. — (EL) Det var ansvarsfølelse, der fik medlemmerne af den græske delegation i Parlamentets PPE-gruppe til at stemme imod det forslag om mistillidsvotum, der var tilbage efter tilbagetrækningen af PSE-gruppens forslag. Dette forslag var i øvrigt blot et led i et dødsdømt forsøg på at imponere offentligheden.
Lambrias (PPE), in writing. — (EL) The members of the Greek delegation in the Group of the European People's Party felt a sense of great responsibility in voting against thè motion of censure that remained after the withdrawal of the previous motion by the European Socialist Party, which was a stillborn attempt to impress public opinion.
Netop nu, hvor euroen er trådt i kraft og skaber så mange forhåbninger, hvor procedurerne i forbindelse med udvidelsen intensiveres, som den historiske nødvendighed den er, og hvor nødvendigheden af at fremme den fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik træder frem, kan en kunstig udfordring i form af en institutionel krise og en svækkelse af Kommissionen under ingen omstændigheder tillades.
Under no circumstances, especially just as the euro has made its appearance amid high hopes, just as procedures connected with the historic necessity of enlargement are gathering momentum, just when there is a need to promote the CFSP, is it acceptable to generate an artificial institutional crisis and to weaken the Commission.
Kun hvis man nægter at indse, at de befolkninger, vi repræsenterer, ikke skelner mellem institutionerne, kan man glæde sig, hvis en af de tre institutioners autoritet nedbrydes.
Only those who refuse to recognise that among the peoples we represent no distinctions are made between the institutional bodies, could rejoice at the authority of any one of the three being undermined.
Det er det overordnede billede af Europa, der besudles, hvis fremstående medlemmers omdømme besudles uden forudgående undersøgelser og konkrete kendsgerninger, og skandalernes tåge lægger sig over livsvigtige funktioner.
It is the overall image of Europe that suffers if, without scrutiny of the facts, the reputations of prominent members are sullied and critical functions become tarnished by the breath of scandal.
I troen på, at denne tåge vil lette inden for et konkret tidsrum, som Kommissionens formand også lovede at arbejde for, er forkastelsen af dette mistillidsvotum en konstruktiv stemme og en sikkerhed for den kontrol, som Europa-Parlamentet skal udøve.
In the confidence that this heavy cloud will soon disappear, as the President of the Commission has promised, the rejection of the motion of censure is a constructive vote which safeguards the control that the European Parliament has to exercise.
Kommissionens formand Santer har ikke vist forståelse for den fremførte kritik.
The President of the Commission, Mr Santer, has not shown understanding of the criticism which has been made.
Kommissionen har dermed i sin helhed påtaget sig ansvaret for den samlede kritik, der er rettet mod Kommissionen fra Revisionsretten, Europa-Parlamentets Budgetkontroludvalg samt en stor gruppe parlamentarikere.
Thus the Commission as a whole has assumed responsibility for all the criticism which has been directed at the Commission by the Court of Auditors, Parliament's Committee on Budgetary Control and a large number of Members of Parliament.
Vi har derfor stemt ja i afstemningen om et mistillidsvotum mod Kommissionen.
We therefore voted in favour of the motion of censure against the Commission.
De fundne mangler og uregelmæssigheder må rettes i alles interesse.
The failings and irregularities which have been discovered are now being put right, in the interest of everyone.
Mann, Thomas (PPE), skriftlig. — (DE) Jeg har netop stemt for mistillidsvotummet til EU-Kommissionen på grund af to kommissærers fejlagtige, inkompetente og skandaløse embedsførelse.
Mann, Thomas (PPE), in writing. — (DE) I have just voted for the motion of censure against the European Commission because of the incorrect, incompetent and scandalous manner in which two Commissioners have performed their duties.
Kommissionen har selv — ukorrekt — skruet den manglende godkendelse af regnskabet for 1996, som Parlamentets flertal vedtog i december 1998, op til en »tillidskrise«.
In December, the Commission itself, in a flight of rhetoric, inappropriately dubbed the refusal of a majority in the Parliament to give it a discharge in respect of the 1996 budget as a 'crisis of faith'.
Formanden for Den Socialdemokratiske Gruppe, fru Pauline"Green, annoncerede under afstemningen dengang et mistillidsvotum i håb om at opnå en tillidserklæring på grund af et utilstrækkeligt stemmetal.
At the time of that vote, the leader of the Socialist Group, Mrs Green, gave notice of a motion of censure in the hope of effectively achieving a vote of confidence for lack of sufficient votes.
Hendes let gennemskuelige taktiske spil, herunder hendes teatralske tilbagekaldelse af denne erklæring i dag, vil få indflydelse på diskussionen i den kommende europavalgkamp.
Her feeble tactics, including her theatrical withdrawal of the motion of censure today, will not be forgotten in the forthcoming European elections.
De to belastede socialdemokratiske kommissærer, fru Cresson og hr. Marin, har ikke fulgt kravet om at træde tilbage fra deres embede, som blev vedtaget med stort flertal af PPE-gruppen og enstemmigt af de tyske kristelige demokraters gruppe.
The two Socialist Commissioners who stand accused, Mrs Cresson and Mr Marin, have not acceded to the request that they should resign, which was supported by a large majority of the PPE Group and unanimously by the German group of Christian Democrats.
Dermed har tilliden til den nuværende Kommission taget varig skade, hvilket afstemningsresultatet på 232 mod 293 også tydeligt viser.
Confidence in the present Commission has therefore been permanently damaged, as demonstrated by the result of the vote, 232 to 293.
