There is also complementarity through the organization of cooperation between national and Community departments.
Kommissionens strategiske program har medført et betydeligt informationsbehov, som Kommissionen (SG/UCLAF) har ønsket at imødekomme i et samarbejde med FFC i ISPRA.
Recent Parliament resolutions regarding the fight against fraud highlight the need both to tighten coordination and enhance the Commission's investigatory powers and to enact tough legislation to provide the Community's financial interests with the full protection of the criminal law.6

The Union has its own financial system that is quite properly subject to political supervision by Parliament, which, with the Council, is one of the two arms of the budgetary authority.
I 1994 kunne systemet byde på en række nye anvendel sesmuligheder, navnlig fordi der blev udviklet et styreredskab, der forbedrede pro grammet.
Political control by Parliament is exercised in practice by the Committee on Budgetary Control.
Kommissionen støtter brugerne i teknisk henseende og har desuden taget sig af ud dannelsen af de involverede brugere i med lemsstaterne (der blev i 1994 afholdt 35 uger med uddannelseskurser i Bruxelles med deltagelse af 291 brugere fra samtlige medlemsstater).
Lastly, Parliament has announced its in tention of holding a public hearing on the protection of the Community's financial interests in the first half of 1995; a number of major questions are to be treated, notably the recovery of amounts defrauded.

It has always stated that it wanted a single contact in the Com mission that would report to it regularly on work done and results achieved in the fight against fraud and has often argued that the protection of the Union's financial interests demanded a reinforcement of the human and material resources available to the Commission's central fraud departments,
Risikoanalyse tede medlemsstaterne i september 1994, med logistisk støtte fra Generaldirektoratet for Told og Indirekte Beskatning (GD XXI), systemet til en overvågningsoperation på fællesskabsplan med deltagelse af både fly og skibe: der blev udvekslet ca. 4 000 meddelelser i forbindelse med denne to uger lange operation, der drejede sig om bekæmpelse af narkotikahandel.
This working party met several times in 1994; it reports back to the steering committee, which then reports via the K.4 Committee to Coreper, which coordinates thirdpillar matters generally and ensures the requisite degree of consistency with the work of the Ecofin Council on first-pillar aspects of protection of the Union's financial interests against fraud.
Som det gælder for medlemsstaternes ad ministrationer, så har heller ikke Kommissionen ubegrænsede ressourcer til rådighed til bedrageribekæmpelse.
The Council took note of the new antifraud strategy and work programme ' transmitted by the Commission in response to the conclusions of the Ecofin Council of 7 June 1993 and the Copenhagen European Council of the same month.
• forhåndsvurdering af enhver ny lovgivning ning
The Commission's annual report for 1993 was also well received.
• udbygning af »efterretningsvirksomheden« og bedre udnyttelse af de derved fremkomne oplysninger
The Ecofin Council meeting of 5 December agreed that the Council should rapidly take the measures needed to improve the Community legal framework for fraud prevention.
• tilstedeværelse i »marken« (målretning af kontrol og efterforskning)
And the Essen European Council on 9 and 10 December 1994 agreed with all that.
• ændring af den gældende lovgivning (hvis det konstateres, at der på bestemte områder forekommer mange tilfælde af bedrageri).
Both bodies this year stated that the Advisory Committee for the Coordination of Fraud Prevention2should be the place for dealing with these matters so that the Budgetary Committee's work of preparing debates in the full Council could be facilitated.
Centralen identificerer automatisk, hvilket land der bliver ringet fra, og der lyder så på det pågældende lands sprog en introducerende meddelelse.
As indicated above, the Council has not yet been able to adopt the proposals of the Commission concerning administrative and penal sanctions.
Adgang til og fra basen er beskyttet for at undgå ubeføjet brug af oplysningerne, og fortrolighedsprincippet overholdes strengt (dataværn og anonymitet).
This is also the case for the proposals concerning the replacement of Council regulation (EEC) No 1468/81 as well as the amendment of Council regulation (EEC) No 1552/89.
Der findes i princippet to forskellige metoder til vurdering af risikoen for bedrageri eller svigagtig adfærd til skade for Fælles skabets budget, nemlig:

I praksis skal de to metoder kombineres, både på EU-plan og på nationalt plan.
The Court's annual reports, the latest of which was for 1993, ' and its special reports are evidence of its vital role in the external control of the Union's finances.
Endvidere har Kommissionen klart givet udtryk for, at den ønsker udarbejdet lignende teknikker, der er tilpasset området direkte udgifter4).
In addition to its annual reports, the Court may issue special reports at any time on specific areas.
Denne teknik anvendes ved planlægning af kommende kontrolbesøg.
The Court and the Commission are visibly on the same wavelength as regards antifraud policy and strategy.
Ved at indsamle de flest mulige oplysninger om de pågældende sektorer og analysere dem, kan kontrollen koncentreres om de sektorer, der således er identificeret som værende »risikobetonede«.
The specific practical measures in the Commission's work programme take the fullest account of the Court's recommendations.

In 1994, the Court adopted special report

These are not strictly antifraud reports but they do provide the Commission with a valuable source of information, provoking useful reactions not only from the Com mission but also from the Member States.
Risikoanalysen har således en både afskrækkende og præventiv virkning.
Chapter 3 DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MEMBER STATES
Budgetkontroludvalget har specielt beskæftiget sig med at få styrket de institutionelle forbindelser med Kommissionen.
This development has financière and the Office central de préven tion de la corruption (France), while an existing structure is the Guardia di Finanza (Italy).2
Udvalget har i øvrigt altid forsøgt at opnå, at en bestemt embedsmand i Kommissionen regelmæssigt underretter udvalget om den indsats, der gøres på bedrageribekæmpelsesområdet, og om de opnåede resultater.
Section 2 Concerted action with Commission departments highlighted the importance of the creation and operation of central coordination structures at national level and the identification of specific national departments to organize jointly with the Commission the monitoring of matters concerning fraud against Community finances.
Som led i udvalgets arbejde med beskyttelsen af Fællesskabets finansielle in teresser har det flere gange foreslået, at Kommissionens centrale organ skulle styrkes, både med hensyn til bevillinger og personale, senest i 1993 3).
The recent establishment of the Advisory Committee for the Coordination of Fraud Prevention ' is one of the most telling signs, and an illustration of 'co-responsibility' or responsibility shared between the Commission and the Member States in fraud prevention, as now laid down explicitly in Article 209a of the EC Treaty.
SG/UCLAF fik således bevilget 50 ekstra stillinger på budgettet for 1994.
Section 1 National structures to combat fraud affecting Community finances
Også andre faktorer kan udløse en bedrageriefterforskningssag, idet udvælgelsen af de tilfælde, der skal undersøges, kan ske ved hjælp af de nye informationskilder '), som Kommissionen benytter ved tilrettelæggelsen af sin egen efterforskningspolitik.
Links with the national authorities have emerged from the purely institutional framework and started to develop into a more flexible pattern of bilateral meetings.
Kommissionen skal sikre, at medlemsstaterne beskytter Fællesskabets finansielle interesser mindst lige så godt som de tilsvarende nationale interesser.
In 1994, the Commission took a number of steps to develop targeted, high-level contacts with certain national authorities, particularly those with a central coordinating structure which operates in the field in much the same way as the Community, which is very gratifying to the Commission.
Det er i den forbindelse vigtigt, at tjenestegrenene in formeres om forløbet af den efterforskning, der gennemføres af de nationale myndigheder, og som gøres til genstand for særlig overvågning fra Kommissionens side2) (på samme måde som GD XIX gør det, når det drejer sig om traditionelle egne indtægter).
These contacts have also been an opportunity to acquaint the Commission's opposite numbers with its antifraud strategy, illustrating it with specific practical examples, and thereby to encourage operational cooperation in carrying out investigations. gations.

These contacts take place via the Commission's central fraud prevention structure (SG/UCLAF) and give promise of effective collaboration in future years, and not just from the strictly operational point of view.2

In its conclusions on action to combat fraud, the Essen European Council of 9 and 10 December 1994 urged the institutional partners to take joint action with the Member States and called on national authorities to submit reports on whatever domestic steps they took to combat waste and diversion of Community resources.
Efter Kommissionens forelæggelse af sin nye strategi for bedrageribekæmpelse med tilhørende arbejdsprogram har Rådet2) erklæret, at disse dokumenter er i overensstemmelse med Økofin-rådets konklusioner fra 7. juni 1993 og konklusionerne af Det Europæiske Råd i København samme måned.

Det er klart, at Revisionsrettens ophøjelse til institution giver dens forbindelser med Kommissionen endnu større betydning, navnlig som følge af EF-traktatens artikel 188C, hvori det fastsættes, at Revisionsretten skal give Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet en erklæring om regnskabernes rigtighed og de underliggende transaktioners lovlighed og formelle rigtighed.

The Committee, which met for the first time on 1 July and then in October and November, is, as a setting for constructive exchanges, to be come the main forum for discussion and assessment of the Commission's work programme and for keeping abreast of any matter involving legal protection of the Union's financial interests.
der skal skabes et juridisk instrument til beskyttelse af Fællesskabets finansielle in teresser inden for rammerne af de nationale strafferetlige bestemmelser.
Thus, for example, the Commission has taken steps to develop its contacts with national organizations which specialize in the field or are multidisciplinary and/or interministerial in character (the very establishment of such bodies or the widening of their fields of activity in response to changing circumstances are prime examples of developments which fit well in a context of international cooperation), with the object of combating all forms of organized financial crime, including fraud against the Community budget.
Økofinrådet af 5. december opfordrede Rådet til snarest at træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger, så der kan ske en forbedring af EU-Iovgivningsrammerne omkring forebyggelse af bedrageri.
The ad vantage of gradually establishing bilateral contacts of this kind and then increasing the number is that it can be done in a framework primarily of institutional part nership but at the same time with the proper degree of flexibility, vital if the steps taken are to complement one an other, particularly when it comes to organizing checks, targeting investigations and sharing results. '
Endelig tog Det Europæiske Råd i Essen den 9. og 10. december stilling til disse spørgsmål og udtrykte enig hed med Økofinrådet og Rådet bestående af justitsministrene.
In the same spirit of institutional partnership, the Commission has also continued its work on stepping up cooperation with nonmember countries.
Det samme gælder forslagene om erstatning af Rådets forordning (EØF) nr. 1468/81 og om ændring af Rådets forord ning (EØF, Euratom) nr. 1552/89.
