Altogether these fraudulent operations in volving milk powder account for ECU 45 million in evaded duties.
Et af de synligste resultater af Fællesskabets indsats på tekstilområdet bør være, at der afholdes konsultationer med visse tredjelande, på grundlag af det bevismateriale, der fremskaffes under fællesskabsmissionerne, for at opnå en justering af de mængdemæssige begrænsninger i tilfælde af omgåelse, i analogi med at der foretages inddrivelse af ikke-opkrævede egne indtægter.
The Italian authorities, which are the principal party involved, are continuing their inquiries in conjunction with other Member States importing the product and with the assistance of the Commission. The main purpose of the inquiries is to establish the real destination of the products after they are imported into the Union: 300 tonnes of butter (with a value of approximately ECU 1 million) and 24 tonnes of milk powder have been seized and 17 people have been indicted.

• Udspekuleret bedrageri implicerer ofte flere medlemsstater.
It was made possible by the corruption of numerous national officials.
Den medlemsstat, der har opdaget et tilfælde af bedrageri og derefter meddelt det til Kommissionen, er ikke nødvendigvis den, hvor bedrageriet har sin oprindelse.
The dismantling of the organization was achieved thanks to the close cooperation of the police, magistrates and Commission in vestigators. Prosecution proceedings against 60 people are to begin in March 1995.
De procedurer, der følger efter opklaringsarbejdet, enten i form af inddrivelse af de involverede beløb eller det retlige efterspil i form af straf, kan være lange.
It has not been possible to dismantle the organization and origin of the contraband goods other than by recourse to investigation techniques especially adopted to com bat this kind of organization, in particular by surveillance of the sugar consignments.
Det samme gælder for de konkrete resultater af succeserne i marken, dvs. tilpasningen af den EF-lovgivning, der er mest følsom og sårbar over for bedrageri.
Legal proceedings are still underway, in particular in the Netherlands and Italy.
Det må med hensyn hertil konstateres, at det er medlemsstater ne ') og ikke EF, der skal træffe de nødvendige foranstaltninger til inddrivelsen og retsforfølgningen af bedragerne.
Investigations have been completed and a summary list of charges was issued on 29 November 1994.
På samme måde er det de lovgivende instanser (Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet) der skal ændre og/eller supplere retsreglerne.
Prosecutions are under way and procedures to recover the ECU 4.9 million of evaded levies from the importers can now be initiated by the Belgian customs authorities without having to wait for the final court judgment.
De beskrevne undersøgelser er som også i beretningen for 1993 opdelt efter de pågældende sagers hovedtræk og de involverede budgetsektorer på følgende måde:
This fraud involved importing live cattle from Eastern Europe into Italy under the inward processing arrangements and ex porting beef to nonmember countries.
Bedrageribekæmpelsen kan ikke kun bestå i at opklare og retsforfølge enkelttilfælde.
The Italian Guardia di Finanza are continuing their investigations in conjunction with the Commission.
Den bør først og fremmest bidrage til at fjerne årsagerne til, at bedrageriet var muligt, eller eliminere det, som inspirerede til det. Formålet med den følgende beskrivelse af en række enkelttilfælde af bedrageri er således følgende:

The evidence collected proves the involve­ment of criminal organizations. The case highlights the need for local authorities (in­cluding payment agencies) to be on their guard when checking documents intended to prove that products have reached their destination.
Samarbejdet mellem medlemssta­ternes myndigheder foregår således effek­tivt, men resultaterne kan kun måles over et længere tidsrum.

On the basis of information reaching the Commission, in particular the EAGGF de­partments, and subsequent examination of the files, several irregularities came to light, leading the EAGGF departments to organize an inspection visit to Haute­Corse (France) regarding implementation of the regulations on the special aid for hill and mountain areas and the suckler cow pre­mium.
En kontrol i 1992 af tolddokumenter ud­stedt i Antwerpen (Belgien) vedrørende forsendelser af skummetmælk fra tredje­lande (Den Tjekkiske Republik, Republik­ken Slovakiet, Østrig, Polen) gennem Spa­nien viste, at der for ca. 4 000 t (ca. 200 lastbiler) af produktet var tale om ikke korrekt behandlede transitdokumenter, hvilket betød, at pulveret ikke var mar­kedsført på importstedet.
• The special aid for hill and mountain regions was introduced in the Union in 1975 and is intended for farmers with farming as their principal occupation who are permanently resident in a mountainous area where they keep their livestock eligible for premiums during wintering.

Reaktionen skal tilpasses herefter, og det er begrundelsen for Kommissionens nye be­drageribekæmpelsesstrategi, som går ud på at yde teknisk assistance til de myndigheder i medlemsstaterne, der foretager efterforsk­ningen, og at øge de ressourcer, der står til rådighed for Kommissionens tilsvarende tjenester.
During a Commission inspection visit to Hungary together with the Italian authori­ties, the Hungarian authorities carried out checks on the authenticity of certain docu­ments which had been submitted to the Italian authorities for the purpose of ob­taining refunds on butter exports.

vances and payments for 1994, and possibly subsequent years too, are also being suspended, until the French authorities have taken the necessary administrative steps to ensure that the system is applied in accordance with Community and national legislation.
De spanske myndigheders kontrol hos ud valgte virksomheder viste bl.a., at to af dem havde importeret skummetmælkspulver under falsk angivelse af vareart. Pro duktet ved navn SILITIR MMP var fra Østrig og blev angivet som siliciumjord.
(iii) As regards the suckler cow premium, for 1994 the Commission is to make a 50% across-the-board reduction for applications submitted in 1993 (on a base of approximately ECU 3.8 million, including premiums for extensive farming).
Denne sag vedrører bedrageri med import af fødevaretilberedninger på basis af smør. Produktet, der importeredes til EF (via San Marino) fra visse lande i Østeuropa, blev ved importen til San Marino og Italien falsk angivet som en anden vare med det formål at undgå at betale toldafgifter.
The purpose of the visit to Haute-Corse (816 September 1994) was to check what was behind the irregularities discovered in the dossiers and to establish whether there was 'any link between the aid received as special aid for hill and mountain areas and suckler cow premiums and the forest fires which have broken out in Corsica over recent years.2
Bedrageriet blev organiseret i EF selv, og varerne skulle ikke markedsføres i San Marino.
The payment of premiums is being suspended for 1995 (applications lodged in 1994) and possibly also for subsequent years.
Det viste sig senere, at det efter at være blevet eksporteret til forskellige medlemsstater i form af butteroil (98% flydende smørkoncentrat) derfra blev reeksporteret ud af EF med betaling af restitutioner.
The suspension will continue until the French authorities implement management and supervision structures that meet the requirements of Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.3
Bedrageriet omfatte de et samlet beløb på 4,5 mio. ECU i und dragne toldafgifter.

Samlet betyder dette bedrageri med mælkepulver, at told for 45 mio. ECU ikke er opkrævet. De spanske myndigheder fortsætter deres undersøgelser i samarbejde med Kommissionens tjenestegrene.
The Commission is quite prepared to assist the French authorities in researching and adopting specific solutions so that this affair will serve as an example for similar regions elsewhere in the European Union.
De italienske myndigheder, der i første række er involveret, fortsætter deres undersøgelser i samarbejde med de øvrige importmedlemsstater og med støtte fra Kom missionen.
Between December 1992 and May 1993, 63 containers of tobacco were unloaded at the port of Constanta.
Formålet med undersøgelserne er især at afgøre varernes reelle bestemmelsessted efter importen til EF.
The tobacco, which was being exported by six Italian companies, was on its way to Bucharest and was stored
• Kommissionen har givet høj prioritet til forbedring af fællesskabsforsendelsesordningen i 1995, ligesom til en politisk bevidstgørelse om risiciene for bedrageri på dette område.

De italienske myndigheder udelukker ikke efter deres undersøgelser, at der består forbindelser mellem dem, der er ansvarlige for dette bedrageri, og kriminelle organisationer. tioner.
(ii) As regards the special aid for hill and mountain areas, serious problems were discovered with the management and supervision of the system in 1993, which was the year in which the checks were carried out.
• Desuden viser tilfældene med SILITIR MMP, hvilken betydning det har, at der gennemføres fysisk kontrol ved import, og at der udføres analyser af importerede produkter.
The French authorities should therefore audit the terms on which the premiums were granted over the period 1988-92 by examining in detail the files on all recipients in Haute-Corse.

Flere sager undersøges i øjeblikket:
in Constanta waiting for customs procedures to be initiated.
Importtilladelserne om handlede således eksport til Libanon, Jordan og Bulgarien, som der var udbetalt store restitutioner for.
Since the plant health documents needed for customs clearance were not available, the company importing the tobacco in Bucharest did not submit an import declaration.
Dokumentationen for varernes ankomst til bestemmelsesstederne viste sig også at være falsk, og varer ne var blevet videresendt til Grækenland dækket af falske certifikater.
The Romanian authorities therefore carried out checks on the goods so as to decide what should be done with them.
De pågældende restitutioner andrager ca. 1,8 mio. ECU for Tyskland og ca. 2,1 mio. ECU for Danmark.
The investigations are now in the closing stages and the procedure for recovering the amounts which the Spanish authorities have identified as having been wrongly paid (around ECU 17.7 million) has begun.

Undersøgelserne fortsætter med henblik på at finde frem til de ansvarlige, således at der kan indledes retssager.
The same flows were continuing via Nor way, for which export refunds are also payable. As a result of these findings it was decided to halt all refunds for concentrated grape must.

Wine exports to Croatia
Som følge af et administrativt samarbejde med Den Tjekkiske Republik som led i anvendelsen af protokollen om gensidig bistand lykkedes det at fastslå, at bedrageriet omfattede et beløb i egne indtægter på 20 mio. ECU.
Commission departments are currently in vestigating the payment agency in Rome (AIMA) to ascertain what refunds and/or premiums may have been paid for this to bacco: as things stand, it looks as if about ECU 260 000 should be recovered as well as about ECU 2.2 million in premiums.
2.1 Raffineret sukker
The Commission has decided to put an end to refunds for tobacco.
I en anden sag kunne det fastslås, at nogle partier smør var ekspederet fra Den Tjekkiske Republik til Nederlandene, hvorfra de efter oplagring var blevet sendt videre til Italien via Schweiz.
This case was discovered in the second half of 1993 when the Dutch authorities realized that large quantities of concentrated grape must had transited via Rotterdam.

A mission to Croatia in November 1994 found that Spanish concentrated grape must had been added to Croatian wine which had then been exported to Germany.
Samlet er 140 partier sukker, svarende til 3 448 750 kg, involveret.
What is more, the grape must in question had been under a temporary import arrangement in Croatia. '
Nederlandene har indledt inddrivelsesprocedurer for den manglende told på 2 078 138 ECU.
The requirements of Article 18 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3665/872 had clearly not been met.
• Tre personer er blevet arresteret i Italien og Frankrig, og i alt ni personer anklaget i Italien.
The investigations revealed that following an increase in production capacity Spain had increased its exports of this product by a high rate from November 1991 onwards.
Domstolen træffer i april 1995 afgørelse om eventuelle anklager.
There were serious doubts concerning the real destination of the quantities shipped to Sweden.
1.4 Eksport af ost, kød og mejeriprodukter
A mission in Sweden in March 1994 examined the supporting documents of three importers.
Varerne er blevet eksporteret fra Danmark og Tyskland til tredjelande og derefter re eksporteret til Grækenland.
It was found that at least a good part of the consignments sent to Sweden had immediately been re-exported to the to abuse, in particular in countries currently experiencing serious economic problems. 2OJ L 351, 14.12.1987.
Det har kun været muligt at optrævle det pågældende smuglernet gennem anvendel sen af undersøgelsesteknikker, der er til passet denne type organisation, bl.a. skygning af lastbiler, der transporterer sukker.
Following the large-scale investigations carried out in Italy in May 1993, which revealed non-existent stocks, in December 1993 the Commission went on to conduct special investigations on the last group of warehouse owners who had not been in spected in Sicily and Sardinia.
Retssagerne går videre bl.a. i Nederlandene og Italien.
An on-the-spot inspection revealed that 258 118 boxes in 48 consignments (a total net weight of 6 319.324 tonnes) between September 1991 and September 1993 had been rejected.
Dette bedrageri omfatter både importen af levende kvæg fra visse østeuropæiske lande til Italien som led i ordningen for aktiv forædling og eksport af oksekød til tredje lande.
One of the reasons for rejection was that the meat was of poor quality and did not satisfy the health requirements (high level of bacteria).
En af Kommissionens inspektører er blevet indkaldt som vidne i sagen.
Recovery procedures have been initiated.
De italienske myndigheder (Guardia di Finanza) fortsætter deres undersøgelser i samarbejde med Kommissionen.
Investigations conducted in Italy on the 1991/92 and 1992/93 harvests finally established that 1 300 tonnes of the olive oil was of inferior quality.
Finansielt betyder dette bedrageri nu, at egne indtægter på ca. 15,7 mio. ECU ulovligt ikke er blevet indbetalt, og at der uretmæssigt er udbetalt restitutioner for 29,4 mio. ECU.
Since the findings revealed that the oil was not eligible for intervention, the Italian authorities have asked for a second expert opinion.
Kommissionen har som led i undersøgelser ne sammen med de italienske myndigheder aflagt besøg på Malta.
The financial implications of the case will be settled when the 1993 accounts are cleared.
Det skal med hensyn til disse nye bedragerier præciseres, at de fremgangsmåder, der blev opdaget under undersøgelserne, allerede var blevet påvist ved en risikoanalyse ').
Listed below are the main cases under in vestigation where there were significant developments in 1994.

Dette bedrageri er blevet iscenesat af en organisation med snævre forbindelser til organiserede kriminelle kredse i Italien.
Since the audits conducted in Greece re vealed that the inspection system operated by the Greek authorities was not sufficient ly reliable, the Commission applied a 25% financial adjustment on the expenditure declared by Greece for 1992.
Der blev foretaget bestikkelse af talrige nationale embedsmænd; nettet blev optrævlet takket være et tæt samarbejde mellem politi, dommere og Kommissionens inspektører.
Checks carried out in May 1993 established the final amounts of storage cost advances to be recovered in connection with the clearance of accounts (Italy: 1993 financial year).
Retssagen mod de skyldige (60 personer) begynder i marts 1995.
A total of ECU 62.4 million has already been recovered by deduction from advances due to Italy.
• Den 11. april 1994 anmodede under søgelsesdommeren med ansvar for sagsbehandlingen ved retten i Cremona den
A working party made up of officials from the Greek Ministry of Agriculture and the EAGGF was set up to examine improve ments that could be made to the existing Greek inspection system.
Undersøgelserne er slut, og undersøgelsesrapporten udfærdiget den 29. november
Regular meetings are to be held with a view to submitting a summary report towards the end of 1995.
