Et første tegn er måske tillægsbudget 3/79, der indebar en nedskæring på 10 mio ERE i forhold til det foreløbige budgetforslag, og som har vandret frem og tilbage mellem Rådet og Parlamentet. Et andet eksempel: når Parlamentet den 13. december 1979 forkastede 1980-budgettet, var det især for at tilkendegive sin modstand mod de budgetoverslag, Rådet havde vedtaget.
Thus, since 1977, when submitting the preliminary draft budget the Commission, for purposes of information, shows alongside the headings for the Guarantee Section what the total would be were the revenue from the agricultural levies or the sugar levies to be deducted.
EUFGL, garantisektionen er ved at blive et af de centrale emner i budgetbehandlingen.
Similarly, in the budgets for 1978 and 1979 the Council left in the 'remarks' column relative to the EAGGF Guarantee Section the figures for revenue from the agricultural and sugar levies, entered for information.
For at undgå, at Kommissionen frit kan disponere over de bevillinger, der er knyttet til garantiordningerne, og foretage overførsler mellem de bevillinger, der er afsat til hvert pro dukt, har Rådet samlet bevillingerne til hvert større produkt i et enkelt kapitel og derved for pligtet Kommissionen til at anmode Rådet om tilladelse til at foretage overførsler mellem kapitler, når den har brug for at øge sine finansielle midler til et af dem.
This proposal was based on Article 43 of the EEC Treaty to justify imposing the levy for the economic purpose of putting in order the market for milk and milk products; since this had no financial consequences, the Decision of 21 April 1970 on 'own resources' does not apply.
Som følge heraf findes der atten budgetkapitler, og da et budgetafsnit kun kan omfatte ti kapitler, har det været nødvendigt at afsætte to afsnit til garantisektionen. Denne forbruger følgelig lige så mange budgetposter som bevillinger.
This legal interpretation was employed to attain two points which the Commission considered indispensable: (i) that the introduction of the 'co-responsibility levy' should not require the application of Article 201 of the EEC Treaty, as this would have necessitated approval by the Member States in accordance with their respective constitutional procedures; and (ii) that the proceeds of the levy can be deducted from sums paid out by the Community under the head of some of the intervention operations in the market for milk.
Artiklerne vedrørende restitutioner indeholder undertiden to konti: den ene til restitutioner i almindelighed, den anden til restitutioner i forbindelse med fødevarehjælp.
Thus, offsetting would occur, but since certain items of expenditure were new in kind (publicity, research) the budgetary appropriations were increased accordingly.
Kommissionen foreslog senere i sit handlingsprogram for 1977-1980, i et forsøg på at skabe livevægt på markedet for mælk og mejeriprodukter, at »medansvarsafgiften« ikke blev gjort til en »egen indtægt«.
although in 1977 and 1978 the incomings from the co-responsibility levy covered entirely new measures, the thinking in 1980 is that the totality of expenditure on milk should be subjected to an offsetting operation.
Denne indtægt, der indregnes i udgifterne, betegnes som »negativ udgift«.
Once incorporated in the expenditure, this revenue is called a 'negative expenditure'.
Da sukkerafgifterne blev indført, var ræsonnementet et helt andet, eftersom Kommissionen på det tids punkt var meget tilfreds med at kunne skabe en egen intægt og ikke frygtede at skrue sit eget budget op.
When the sugar levies were introduced the thinking was quite different, because at that time the Commission was glad to be able to create an 'own resource' and was not worried about making the budget too big.
Men det står os klart, at udviklingen siden 1977 går i retning af at tilnærme indtægterne fra medansvarsafgiften til sukkerafgifterne, i hvert fald med hensyn til deres økonomiske virkninger.
However, it is clear that, since 1977, the tendency has been to bring the co-responsibility revenue and the sugar levies closer together, at least as far as their economic effect is concerned.
I Domstolens dom af den 21. februar 1979 er afgiftsprincippet dog kendt lovligt, ligesom det tiltrædes, at afgifter af denne type kan indføres inden for rammerne af en fælles markedsordning, uden at det er nødvendigt at anvende den procedure, der skal følges ved indførelse af nye egne indtægter.
A judgment handed down by the Court of Justice on 21 February 1979 nevertheless finds no legal objection to the principle of the levy, and confirms that levies of this kind could be introduced in the framework of the common organization of markets without the need to go through the procedure required for the creation of new own resources.
I sin beretning om regnskabsåret 1978 tog Revisionsretten for sit vedkommende afstand fra, at denne afgift opføres på budgettet som en »negativ udgift«, der kan afvikles uden om alle regler, der er fastsat i finansforordningen.
In its report on the 1978 financial year, the Court of Auditors, on the other hand, objected to the levy being entered into the budget as 'negative expenditure', as it is not covered by any of the rules contained in the Financial Regulation.
Parlamentet anmodede på sin side om, at indtægter og udgifter i forbindelse med denne afgift blev opført i et bilag til det almindelige budget,
Parliament meanwhile asked that revenue and expenditure in respect of this levy be entered in an annex to the budget and in sisted that this kind of 'para-fiscal' levy should be applied solely in the agricultural field (report by a sub-group of the Committee on Budgets of 5 May 1980, p. 189).
E — Afvikling af EUGFL, garantisektionens bevillinger
E—The utilization of the EAGGF Guarantee Section budget appropriations
Det er Kommissionen og dens tjenestegrene, i dette tilfælde Generaldirektoratet for land; brug og Generaldirektoratet for fiskeri2), der i henhold til de af Rådet udstedte forordninger gennemfører budgettet.
The Commission and its departments, in this case the Directorate-General for Agriculture and the Directorate-General for Fisheries,2are responsible for implementing the budget in accordance with the Regulations adopted by the Council.
I finansforordningen er der som følge af den særlige karakter af udgifterne under EUGFL, garantisektionen (de syv artikler i afsnit VIII) fastsat en række afvigelser fra de almindelige gennemførelsesbestemmelser.
The Financial Regulation provides for a number of exemptions from the general rules for implementing the budget, because of the special nature of EAGGF Guarantee Section ex penditure (the seven articles in Title VIII).
Således indgås der samlede foreløbige forpligtelser, som sva rer til de forskud, der skal udbetales til medlemsstaterne, eftersom forordning (EØF) nr. 729/ 70 af 21. april 1970 fastsætter, at forskuddene ikke længere skal udbetales af disse, men af Fællesskabet.
For example, provisional global commitments are entered into, corresponding to advances to be made to Member States, because under Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 the advances are made by the Community, not by the Member States.
Som samlede foreløbige forpligtelser gælder Kommissionens beslutninger, der fastsætter størrelsen af disse forskud efter høring i EUGFL-komiteen.
Commission decisions fixing the amounts of these advances, after consultation with the EAGGF Committee, have the force of provisional global com mitments.
Udgifterne afholdes rent faktisk af 44 nationale administrative organer, der udpeges af regeringerne (12 i Tyskland, 10 i Nederlandene, 9 i Frankrig, 6 i Italien, 3 i Belgien og 1 i Det forenede Kongerige, Danmark, Irland og Luxembourg), der er de egentlige anvisningsberettigede.
In practice, the expenditure is effected by the 44 national departments and agencies designated by the governments (12 in the Federal Republic of Germany, 10 in the Netherlands, 9 in France, 6 in Italy, 3 in Belgium and 1 each in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Ireland and Luxembourg).
Udgifterne konteres pr. regnskabsår på grundlag af de nationale udbetalende organers betalinger pr. 31. december på betingelse af, at deres betalingsanvisning er tilsendt Kommissionens regnskabsfører inden den næstfølgende 31. marts.
The expenditure is committed by chapter, article and item and booked as a payment, after examination of the statements sent in by the Member States; the expenditure is charged to a given financial year on the basis of payments made up to 31 December by the paying departments and agencies responsible for payments, provided that the formal authorizations for the payments have reached the Commission's Accounting Officer not
Denne særlige forholdsregel, der er en fravigelse af budgetprincippet om etårige budgetter, bevirker, at Fællesskabets regnskaber ikke kan afsluttes før denne dato.
This special arrangement departs from the principle of annuality of the budget. As a result, the Community accounts cannot be closed before 31 March of the following year.
Den 23. april 1979 fremsatte Kommissionen et forslag til ændring af finansforordningen for at afkorte denne supplementsperiode 15).
The Commission submitted a proposal on 23 April 1979 for amending the Financial Regulation to shorten this extra period.15
Af disse få oplysninger fremgår originaliteten i en ordning, hvor en centraliseret EF-finansie-ring kombineres med decentraliserede individuelle betalinger.
These few remarks show the exceptional character of the system, which combines centralization of the Community financing operations with decentralization of the individual payments.
Man har herved undgået, at der opstår en gigantisk EF-administration, der skulle have forhandlet direkte med landbrugerne, eksportørerne osv. Omkostningerne til de 44 tjenestegrenes og kontaktorganers virksomhed skal ikke engang bæres af EUGFL (forordning (EØF) nr. 729/70, artikel 1, stk. 4).
This has obviated the need to set up a vast Community administration which would have had to deal directly with farmers, exporters and others. The cost of running the 44 intervening departments and bodies is not charged to the EAGGF (Regulation (EEC) 729/70, Article 1(4)).
Denne meget tilfredsstillende løsning rummer dog i sig en fare, nemlig at forvaltningen bliver for usammenhængende og liberal, netop fordi den er decentraliseret.
But there is a danger in this highly satisfactory plan of organization, in that this decentralization could lead to disorder and slackness in the management of these activities.
Selv om det er på dette punkt, at gennemførelsen af landbrugsbudgettet er mest original, er det ikke det eneste.
Although the exceptional arrangements for implementation of the budget in respect of agriculture are the most significant feature, they are not the only peculiarity.
Det andet er de store uoverensstemmelser mellem overslag og resultater.
Another is the scale of the disparities between the estimates and actual expenditure.
Vi har allerede påpeget nødvendigheden af tillægsbudgetter i løbet af året, men man skal også bemærke det betydelige antal overførsler inden for garantisektionens budgetkapitler, eller mellem disse kapitler16), for at kunne overskue de samlede følgevirkninger af prisfastsættelsen for produktionsåret og de producerede, solgte, eksporterede og importerede mængder.
We have already mentioned that supplementary budgets during the financial year have been necessary. Attention should also be drawn to the magnitude of transfers within chapters of the budget for the Guarantee Section and from one chapter to another,16to deal with the combined effects of fixing the prices for the marketing year and of the quantities produced, sold, exported or im ported.
Desuden afholdes de udgifter, der kaldes »af anden kategori« (sammensatte interventionsudgifter som f.eks. udgifter til oplagring), først et år efter, til forskel fra de udgifter, som kaldes »af første kategori«, hvis størrelse kendes, så snart de er afholdt, da interventionssat-
Moreover 'second category' expenditure (for complicated intervention operations such as storage) is carried out only once a year, whereas the amounts involved in 'first category' expenditure are known at the time of commitment, because a precise rate of in tervention has been fixed.
F— Kontrol med afholdelsen af EUGFL, garantisektionens udgifter
F—Monitoring the implementation of the EAGGF Guarantee Section expenditure
Grundreglerne om kontrol med EUGFL, garantisektionens udgifter bygger på traktaterne og ovennævnte rådsforordning nr. 729/70. De forskellige kontrolformer kan resumeres således:
The basic provisions governing the monitoring of EAGGF Guarantee Section expenditure derive from the Treaties and Council Regulation 729/70 cited above.
1. kontrol, der foretages af administrationen i medlemsstaterne og bl.a. gennemføres på grundlag af bestemmelserne i artikel 8 i forordning nr. 729/70;
The various kinds of audit can be summarized as follows: (1) audits carried out by the governments of the Member States, for the most part as provided in Article 8 of Regulation 729/70; (2) audit performed under the provisions made in pursuance of Article 209 of the EEC Treaty and now incorporated in the Financial Regulation; (3) audit by the Audit Board as provided in Article 206a of the EEC Treaty; (4) audit under the following provisions of Article 9 of the abovementioned Regulation: (a) officials appointed by the Commission to carry out inspections on the spot shall have access to the books and all other documents relating to expenditure financed by the Fund;
2. kontrol i henhold til EØF-traktatens artikel 209, hvis bestemmelser er blevet inkorporeret i finansforordningen;
(b) at the request of the Commission and with the agreement of the Member State, in spections or enquiries concerning the transactions referred to in this Regulation shall be carried out by the competent authorities of that Member State.
Funktionærer fra Kommissionen kan deltage i disse revisioner eller undersøgelser« 20).
Officials of the Commission may also participate'.20
Mens det i artikel 9, stk. 3, hedder, at Rådet »om fornødent fastsætter de almindelige regler for anvendelsen af denne artikel«, har Kommissionen ikke foreslået nogen forordning i dette
Whereas Article 9(3) of the Regulation prescribes that 'the Council shall... as far as is necessary, lay down general rules for the application of this Article' the Commission has not proposed any regulation for the purpose, considering that the provisions of Article 9 are sufficient as they stand and that no additional regulation on covering 'the officiais ap pointed' is needed.
I praksis gennemføres følgende kontrolforanstaltninger i løbet af et regnskabsår: gennem hele regnskabsåret udfører Generaldirektoratet for landbrug kontrolforanstaltninger, der har til formål at forberede beslutningerne om afslutningen af Kommissionens regnskaber og at tilse, at medlemsstaterne faktisk anvender bestemmelserne inden for den fælles markeds- og prispolitik.
In practice, the monitoring operations are organized as follows during a budgetary period: the Directorate-General for Agriculture carries out a continuing series of operations in preparation for the decisions approving the Commission's accounts and to ensure that the requirements in respect of common policy on agricultural markets and prices are correctly observed by the Member States.
Det skal bemærkes, at nationale tjenestemænd fra de pågældende medlemsstater af praktiske grunde normalt er til stede ved gennemførelsen af disse kontrolforanstaltninger.
For practical reasons, officials of the Member State con cerned are usually present during such checks; sometimes officials of the national audit authorities attend.
Undertiden deltager der desuden funktionærer fra de nationale revisionsinstitutioner.
In addition, 'selective checks' are arranged by the Directorate-General for Financial Control.
Her udover udføres der kontrol, der organiseres af Generaldirektoratet for finanskontrol, den såkaldte »målrettede kontrol«; den vil typisk være koncentreret om et bestemt emne og søger at fastslå, om bl.a. princippet om forsvarlig forvaltning og formel rigtighed kan anses for at være overholdt.
The distinguishing feature of these is that they concentrate on a par ticular type of expenditure, primarily to check on compliance with the principle of sound financial management and on correct practice.
Normalt udviser medlemsstaterne samarbejdsvilje. Dog udtrykkes der undertiden en vis bekymring over for det, man kalder overlapning af de forskellige former for kontrol.
The Member States usually show willingness to cooperate although sometimes concern is expressed about the 'superior position' of the various forms of investigation.
Og det skal da også erkendes, at EF-kontrollen udefra set forekommer meget tung.
To an outsider, the way in which the Community exercises financial control must seem cumbersome.
Der kan faktisk udøves forskellige former for kontrol: den anvisningsberettigedes kontrol (Generaldirektoratet for landbrug), målrettet kontrol (tilrettelagt af Generaldirektoratet for finanskontrol), Den ekstraordinære Kontrolmissions arbejde21), Revisionsrettens kontrol og endelig, selv om det ikke altid berører de samme administrative tjenestegrene, kontrol, der kan gennemføres af Generaldirektoratet for budgetter inden for området »EF's egne indtægter«.
Several different kinds of check can be made: examination by the authorizing agency (the Directorate-General for Agriculture), 'selective checks' (arranged by the Directorate-General for Financial Control), investigations by the Special Committee of Inquiry,21verifi cations which the Audit Board may decide to make and, lastly, checks on 'own resources' arranged by the Directorate-General for Budgets but not always involving the same ad ministrative departments.
Hertil kan føjes den kontrol, der udføres af de forskellige nationale kontrolorganer.
Then there are the checks made by the various national audit authorities.
I øvrigt kommenterer pressen i vid udstrækning bedragerier og »almindelige uregelmæssigheder«, der ryster offentligheden.
Apart from these measures, cases of fraud or merely of 'irregularity' receive widespread publicity in the press and arouse public opinion.
Hvad drejer det sig egentlig om?
What is it all about?
I henhold til EF-retten (de allerede nævnte for ordninger (EØF) nr. 729/70 og 283/72) har medlemsstaterne pligt til at træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger for at imødegå uregelmæssigheder og at inddrive beløb, der er fejlagtigt udbetalt som følge af uregelmæssigheder, og de skal meddele alle oplysninger, der kan være nyttige angående den måde, hvorpå deres kontrol med uregelmæssigheder fungerer.
The answer is that under Community legislation (EEC Regulations 729/70, mentioned above, and 283/72) the Member States are required to take the requisite measures to prevent ir regularities, to cover sums obtained by fraudulent activities and to supply to the Com-
Kom missionen mener på sin side, at oplysningssystemet generelt fungerer tilfredsstillende.
munity all necessary information about their arrangements for preventing irregularities.
Statistisk set svinger det anmeldte antal tilfælde meget: 8 i 1971, 20 i 1972, 51 i 1973, 89 i 1974, 130 i 1975, 226 i 1976, 150 i 1977, 113 i 1978 og 116 i 1979.
The number of cases reported has varied greatly: 8 in 1971, 20 in 1972, 51 in 1973, 89 in 1974, 130 in 1975, 226 in 1976, 150 in 1977, 113 in 1978 and 116 in 1979.
Fra 1971 til 1979 inklusive forekom der således 903 tilfælde af uregelmæssigheder til et beløb af 40,8 mio RE.
From 1971 to 1979 inclusive, reported irregularities totalled 903, covering an amount of 40.8 m u.a.
Der har i 549 tilfælde skullet inddrives 22 mio RE.
Twentytwo million u.a. were recovered in respect of 549 cases.
Man kan i øvrigt konstatere, at den måde, hvorpå uregelmæssigheder forfølges, ikke er den samme i alle landene 22).
It is also apparent that the ir regularities are not proceeded against with the same vigour in all the countries.22
Det må erkendes, at Fællesskabet bestræber sig på at organisere den bedst mulige kontrol med den største af sine udgiftsposter, men at situationen bestemt er uafklaret.
To sum up, it must be agreed that the Community makes every effort to organize the best possible system of monitoring to cover the largest block of expenditure in its budget, but the situation is definitely uncertain.
De nationale kontrolinstanser er ikke altid tilstrækkeligt aktive, og det må indrømmes, at den egentlige kontrol forventes foretaget af EF-instanserne. Efter at disse har haft visse problemer, hvilket er forståeligt i en tid, der som denne har været præget af store forandringer, synes de imidlertid at være kommet op på et effektivitetsniveau, der har gjort det muligt mellem 1976 og 1979 at halvere antallet af tilfælde med uregelmæssigheder.
While it may be true that not all the national authorities responsible for financial control are energetic enough, the Community organs are expected to perform the real monitoring; after a shaky start, which is understandable considering that major changes were taking place at the time, they seem to have become efficient enough to halve the number of cases of irregularity between 1976 and 1979.
Dog må man ikke være for optimistisk på dette felt.
But we should not be too optimistic about this.
Midler til finansiering af landbrugsgarantiordningerne
The resources applied to financing the agricultural guarantee operations
Grundforordningen inden for finansieringen af den fælles landbrugspolitik er forordning (EØF) nr. 729/70 af den 21. april 1970, der blev udstedt på samme tidspunkt, som ordningen
The basic legislation governing financing of the CAP is Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970, adopted at the same time as the 'own resources' arrangements.
vedrørende egne indtægter blev vedtaget, da de to retsakter, hvad jeg allerede har omtalt, er tæt forbundne.
As we have already seen, the two measures were closely linked.
Da landbrugsmarkedet er et enhedsmarked, da priserne er blevet harmoniseret, og da landbrugspolitikken er blevet et EF-anliggende, bygger denne forordning på, at de deraf følgende finansielle konsekvenser påhviler Fællesskabet.
The underlying principle of the Regula tions is that since a single market for agricultural products has been set up, the prices have been approximated and a common agricultural policy has been achieved, the Community should bear the financial responsibility.
Først skal vi undersøge, hvilke budgetmidler der siden begyndelsen er anvendt til denne politik, og derefter vil vi forsøge at skitsere en status.
Let us now discuss the budgetary resources allocated to this policy from the outset, and then try to assess the results.
A — Anvendte budgetmidler fra 1965 til 1980
A—The budget resources allocated from 1965 to 1980
Det europæiske økonomiske Fællesskab har til den fælles landbrugspolitik på femten år, dvs. fra 1965 til 1979 23), anvendt næsten 54 700 mio RE (jf· bilag 12, s. 393), hvoraf
Over a 15-year period, from 1965 to 1979,23the European Economic Community has spent about 54 700 m u.a. on the CAP (see Annex 12, p.
53 400 mio RE alene gik til sikring af landbrugsmarkederne.
399), and of this total 53 400 m went to guaranteeing agricultural markets.
Betalingerne, der var på 28,7 mio RE i 1965, oversteg allerede i 1968 1 000 mio RE og nåede så op på 4 336 mio RE i 1973 (året for udvidelsen) og 10 418 mio ERE i 1979 24). Der er altså inden for udgifterne til land brugsgarantiordningerne sket en eksplosiv udvikling, der kan forklares ved, at den er den eneste virkelige EF-politik, der har haft finansielle konsekvenser.
Allocations to the guarantee operations, which were 28.7 m u.a. in 1965, passed the thousand million mark in 1968, reached 4 336 m u.a. in 1975 (a year of enlargement), and then 10 418 m EUA in 1979.24The expenditure on guaranteeing the agricultural markets has thus rocketed, but it is, after all, the only truly common policy which has had financial effects.
Men dens udviklingsrytme, på ca. 23 % om året, skabte bekymring.
Even so. the 23% rate of increase per an num continues to cause concern.
