Debatten
The Week
Budgetkontroludvalget indstiller i sine forslag - i betænkningerne af Gabriele STAUNER (PPEDE, D), Heide RÜHLE (Verts/ALE, D) og Helmut KUHNE (PSE, D), som Parlamentet har forhandlet i dag - at give decharge for 1998 til Kommissionen, Parlamentet og for EUF.
Furthermore, the Commission was given until 30 September to draw up standard contractual clauses which EU citizens can invoke in the courts of third countries.
charge til sin generalsekretær for gennemførelsen af 1998-budgettet.
Doubts over security personal data in US "Safe Harbors"
Europa-Parlamentet havde, ligesom for Kommissionen og EUF, i april udsat sin afgørelse om denne decharge for at administrationen kunne styrke sin ind sats for at anvende de offentlige midler mere effektivt.
Rapporteur : Ornella PACIOTTI (PES, I) Safe harbour privacy principles Doc: A5-0177/2000 Debate : Monday 3 July 2000 Vote : Wednesday 5 July 2000
I betænkningen tages planerne for at rette op på de konstaterede mangler til efter retning: der var blandt andet tale om en øget anvendelse af offentligt udbud i forbindelse med indkøbskontrakter og en forbedring af inventarsystemet.
Under European law, companies who obtain personal data - e.g. on customers buying on the internet or on visitors to a website - are not allowed to use these for other reasons than they were originally meant for without consent of the person concerned.
Budgetkontroludvalget var pålagt som led i dechargeproceduren for 1999 at følge gennemførelsen af reformerne.
The US lacks specific legislation on data protection and relies on a system of self-regulation in which private companies are supposed to uphold and adhere to certain standards - the so-called "safe harbors".
Europa-Parlamentet anmodede om et fælles ejendomsbudget og en fælles ejendomsforvaltning for institutionerne.
Visas: Parliament in favour of harmonisation: Vote
Hun understregede, at der på trods af en række imødekommelser af de 17 betingelser, som Parlamentet stillede i april, stadig var en række problemer med hensyn til disciplinære sanktioner og fremsendelse af dokumenter for at sikre fuldstændig information til Europa-Parlamentet.
In its resolution on the European Commission's decision on the adequacy of personal data protection provided by the US "Safe Harbor" system of selfregulation, Parliament cites article 8 of the Council decision on comitology procedures, thereby contesting the Commission's decision to consider the data protection offered by the US "Safe Harbors" as adequate.
Efter hendes mening bør Fléchard-sagen stadig betragtes som åben.
In doing so it requires the Commission to go back to the negotiating table and change the agreement in such a way that the individual right of appeal to an independent body is recognised in cases where the principles of data protection are alleged to have been violated.
Hun mente, at man burde inddrive det "tabte beløb" som følge af afgørelsen fra 1994 om at nedsætte bøden til denne virksomhed.
Also Parliament wants firms to be obliged to compensate for any possible damage as a consequence of possible violations.
Der burde skabes fuld og dokumenteret klarhed om størrelsen af den støtte, som virksomheden modtog for at udføre fællesskabskontrakter.
Moreover, it notes that the self regulatory Safe Harbor system is not fully in place yet.
Med hensyn til finansiering af de politiske grupper og partier mindede betænkningen om, at det kun er de politiske grupper selv, der er ansvarlige for anvendelsen af de midler, de modtager over EP-budgettet.
Klaus-Heiner LEHNE (PPE/DE, D) Doc: A5-0179/2000 Procedure: consultation Debate: 3 July 2000 Vote: 5 July 2000
I betænkningen noteres Revisionsrettens bemærkninger og en række krav om reformer, som grupperne burde gennemføre for at forbedre gen nemskueligheden af deres økonomiske transaktioner, fremlægges.
The European Parliament adopted the report by Mr Klaus-Heiner LEHNE (EPP/ED, D) on the proposal for a Council regulation establishing a list of third countries whose nationals are subject to a visa requirement in order to cross the external frontiers and a list of those whose nationals are exempt from this requirement.
Der anmodes i denne forbindelse om, at grupperne udstyres med egne finansforordninger.
The report substantially approves the Commission proposal.
Heidi RÜHLE mente, at udfordringen til Kommissionen bestod i at bevise, at den kan lære af tidligere fejltagelser i sin forvaltning og hurtigt rette op på området for udviklingsbistand, som er et område, hvor EU er den største bevillingsfordeler.
For him, the EU had obtained the best possible result. If Parliament adopted a negative resolution, it would put the Commission in a very difficult position.
Hun erklærede sig tilfreds med den handlingsplan for den eksterne bistand og de reformer, som kommissærerne NIELSON og PATTEN havde bebudet i maj.
Bolkestein vehemently denied that the Commission had exceeded its powers, pointing out that according to a 1995 directive it is up to the European Commission to determine if the security of data which are transferred to non-EU countries is adequate.
For hende var det vigtigt, at Parlamentet underrettes kvartalsvis om fremskridtene, sådan som Kommissionen havde forpligtet sig til.
In the case of the United States the Commission held lengthy negotiations, which led it to assess data protection in the US as "adequate".
Europa-Parlamentet og Kommissionen burde samarbejde om en bedre administration af bistanden, en styrkelse af kontrollen og indførelse af et overvågningssystem for at sikre, at fortidens fejltagelser ikke sker igen.
The new regulation, which will replace regulation 574/1999, establishes a list of third countries whose nationals are subject to a visa requirement for planned visits of no more than three months' duration. The new text proposed by the Commission sets out to
Med hensyn til finansieringen af de politiske grupper og partier udtrykte han sin "forståelse" over for Revisionsretten, der ikke havde ønsket udtrykkeligt at nævne grupper med en tvivlsom økonomisk praksis. For ham stod debatten, med bistand fra Revi­sionsretten, åben og burde føre til et regelsæt og tilfredsstillende praktiske dispositioner.

José Javier POMES RUIZ (PPE­DE, E) ud­trykte for sin gruppe støtte til at give decharge på det område, der dækkes af de 3 betænk­ninger.

Han mente, at Kommissionen havde "brug for tid", men havde tillid til at, "andre afgørelser snart vil komme" og at "den inter­institutionelle aftale mellem Europa­Parlamentet og Kommissionen vil gøre det muligt at komme videre".
The new regulation will allow Bulgarian and Romanian nationals, among others, to be exempted from the visa requirement for entry into EU territory, since these countries are applicants for membership of the Union.
Med hensyn til KÜHNES bemærkninger om udgifterne til de politiske partier og grupper mente han, at der var tale om "uheldige kommentarer", for hans gruppe overholdt reglerne.
The amendments adopted by Parliament authorise the Member States to grant young people taking part in EU programmes for young people from the visa requirement.
Han mente, at det var absurd at reagere på denne måde på et tidspunkt, hvor man kræver en statut for de politiske partier.
The EP also encourages the Member States not to raise the cost of issuing visas, in order to save applicants unnecessary expense.
Grupperne burde følge en harmoniseret fremgangsmåde.

Hun mente, at man, selv om Revisionsretten ikke havde afgivet en "revisionserklæring" (DAS) om gennemførelsen af bevillingerne, burde "lade tvivlen komme Kommissionen til gode" og give decharge.

Hun insisterede på handlingsplanen for en reform af udviklingsbistanden og på de trufne foran­staltninger for at forvalte budgettet bedre, forebygge fejl og begrænse det alt for høje antal fejl, som Revisionsretten havde konsta­teret. Hun anførte, at Kommissionen havde brug for mere personale til at sikre mere ef­fektiv kontrol og at der også var brug for me­re samarbejde fra medlemsstaternes side.
Presenting the Annual Report of the European Central Bank for 1999, President Wim DUISENBERG, told MEPs that the ECB had been successful in achieving the goals conferred upon it by the Treaty; i.e. ensuring price stability "Looking back, I believe that these challenges from both the policy and an operational point of view have been met".
Med hensyn til disciplinære sanktioner ville kom­missær KINNOCK fremlægge et forslag til ændring af den nuværende ordning inden sommerferien.
The presentation of the report, he continued, represented an important element of the ECB's accountability towards the European Parliament, supplementing exchanges with the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee.
Hun understrege­de, at der i Fléchard­sagen ikke kunne være tale om inddrivelse af skyldige beløb, da sa­gen var lukket efter den irske højesterets af­gørelse.
Delivering a low rate of inflation, the primary objective of the ECB, had been secured, as could be seen with an inflation rate of just 1.1% in 1999, the lowest for the past 50 years.
Endvidere fastslog hun, at Svigbe­kæmpelseskontoret (OLAF) handler fuld­stændigt uafhængigt og at det er dets direktør, der afgør hvordan fortrolige oplysninger skal behandles.
The ECB's policy, he emphasised was to act before inflation pressures materialised, with a view to achieving the environment of stable prices, conducive to sustained economic growth and job creation.
Kommissionen er på sin side for­pligtet af fortrohghedskravet i forbindelse med fremsendelse af elektronisk dokumenter, der har forbindelse med landbrugseksport el­ler kontrakter, der er indgået internt i med­
He agreed with recommendations in the draft resolution before the House, recommending that governments use the present economic climate to reduce public debt and go beyond the objectives of the Stability Programme and he emphasised the continued need for structural reforms in the labour, product and capital markets.
Han opfor­drede Kommissionen til at samarbejde med Europa­Parlamentet for at sikre tilfredsstil­lende løsninger på problemerne i Fléchard­sagen.
Turning to the "new economy", while he said "it is difficult as yet to find clear evidence of a new economy in the Euro area", he emphasised its importance should be seen in the way in which it could contribute to

Selv om han støttede at give decharge i de tre tilfælde, var han dog imod vedtagelsen af rammeaftalen mellem Kommissionen og Parlamentet, der sættes under afstemning på plenarmødet i morgen, fordi "denne aftale stækker Parlamentets kontrolbeføjelser".
He also expressed confidence that the ECB was in a position to cope with the uncertainties created by the new economy with its reliance on the "two pillars" i.e. controlling the money supply and delivering price stability.

He rejected any calls for relaxing monetary policy to stimulate investment in the new economy, since any threat to price stability would only undermine the credibility of the ECB.
Forhandling: 5.7.2000 Afstemning: 5.7.2000
Opening the debate, Alexander RADWAN (EPP/ED, D), while recognising the success of the ECB in delivering low inflation, emphasised the need to win the confidence of citizens in the new currency which he felt could be done through better packaging and explanations.
Esko SEPPÄNEN (GUE/NGL, FIN) støttede "ånden i Stauner-betænkningen" og fandt det uacceptabelt, at Kommissionens dokumenter, som det var tilfældet i Fléchard-sagen, "forsvandt". Mogens CAMRE (Dansk Folkeparti) understregede, at Kommissionen nu skulle bevise sin vilje til at rette op på fortidens fejl, selv om kommissionskollegiet i dag ikke er ansvarlig herfor. De disciplinære forholdsregler, der var nødvendige, skulle træffes.
He did not, however, agree with those calling for any relaxation on the inflation target, taking the view that even allowing a rate of 3% to appear would have an adverse effect on employment.

Speaking on behalf of the EPP/ED, Karl von WOGAU (D) too emphasised the need to control inflation but expressed concern that the fall in the value of the Euro against the Dollar could have jeopardised this policy. He too put the reason for the drop in the exchange rate down to the failure of national governments to adopt structural reforms.
Det midlertidige udvalg får følgende 36 med lemmer:
He believed, however, that the ECB had sent the right message to the markets with regard to its policy on interest rates.
Jens-Peter BONDE (JuniBevægelsen) gav udtryk for modstand mod at give decharge til Kommissionen "så længe den ikke har imødekommet kravet om en fuldstændig informering af Europa-Parlamentet".
Dealing with the issues of transparency and accountability, of particular importance to the European Parliament, Mr Duisenberg effectively rejected a call in the draft resolution to publish "summary minutes" of ECB Council meetings by pointing out that the information that could be available here was in reality reproduced through the Bank's regular press conferences and its other publications such as the monthly bulletin.
Wolfgang ILGENFRITZ (NI, A) ønskede heller ikke at give decharge til Kommissionen, fordi "man bør sende et tydeligt signal om, at der skal indføres et klart forvaltningssystem, der er gennemsigtigt for borgerne".
Furthermore, while not explicitly rejecting another call in the draft resolution i.e. to produce reports on the economic situation in specific member states of the Euro area, Mr Duisenberg emphasised that the Bank always took its policy decisions from a Euro-wide area perspective.
Formanden for Budgetkontroludvalget, Diemut THEATO (PPEDE, D) understregede, at Europa-Parlamentet med præcision havde benytte sig af det våben, som en udsættelse af decharge er, men at Kommissionen havde besvaret de fleste af de stillede spørgsmål.
He was not enthusiastic about any move which would blur the ECB's focus on the whole Euro area. He did, however, emphasise that it was still the Bank's intention to publish, by the end of 2000, economic forecasts, as requested by the European Parliament.
"Vi kan ikke holde den nye Kommission ansvarlig for fejl og svig, der er begået under den forrige. Vi håber, at de har lært lektien".
He did, however, add a note of warning emphasising that this was only one element that influenced the ECB's decisions.
Ozan CEYHUN (Verts/ALE, D), Neil MACCORMICK (Verts/ALE, UK) og Patricia MCKENNA (Verts/ALE, IRL) undersøgelsesudvalg, nemlig at der ikke kan gennemføres undersøgelser af efterretningstjenester, må være irrelevant.
rate and a successful introduction of the new currency, he was concerned that economic forecasters were now predicting a further increase of 100 basis points in interest rates by the end of the year.
Paul LANNOYE (Verts/ALE, B) fastholdt, at han foretrækker et undersøgelsesudvalg og ikke mener, at argumentet om, at der skal kunne aflyttes for at bekæmpe alvorlig kriminalitet, har noget med sagen at gøre, fordi der hertil i sidste instans er brug for en lovramme.
The ECB should not be taking policy decisions just with an eye on the markets, which often behaved in an irrational way.
Graham WATSON (ELDR, UK) mente, at der ikke alene bør gennemføres en undersøgelse af Echelon, men også af andre systemer, der kan betyde indgreb i privatlivet.
Instead there should be a strengthening of economic policy coordination, albeit in tandem with monetary policy and respect for the Bank's independence.
Ordfører: Klaus-Heiner LEHNE (PPEDE, D) Forslag til Rådets forordning om fastlæggelse af listen over de tredjelande, hvis statsborgere skal være i besiddelse af visum ved passage af de ydre grænser, og dem, hvis statsborgere er fritaget for dette krav Dok.: A5-0179/2000 Procedure: Høringsprocedure (*) Forhandling: 3.7.2000 Afstemning: 5.7.2000
While he recognised the ECB's concern to take a view for the Euro zone as a whole, he did emphasise the different growth trends in national markets had an overall impact on the economy and should be taken into consideration.
Europa-Parlamentet har vedtaget betænkning af Klaus-Heiner LEHNE (PPEDE, D) om forslag til Rådets forordning om fastlæggelse af listen over de tredjelande, hvis statsborgere skal være i besiddelse af visum ved passage af de ydre grænser, og dem, hvis statsborgere er fritaget for dette krav.
Replying to the debate, Mr Duisenberg rejected charges that the ECB was in fact afraid of encouraging a high growth rate.
Denne betænkning støtter i hovedsagen Kommissionens holdning.
Growth in the Euro zone countries over the past 25 years had been between 2 and 2.5% but was now forecast to increase to more than 3% next year, with inflation maintained below 2%.
Udvalget får til opgave at efterprøve eksistensen af Echelon, et aflytningssystem, som efter forlydende anvendes af efterretningstjenesterne i USA, Storbritannien, Australien, Canada og New Zealand til at opfange al telekommunikation.
The ECB was not at all against this trend, he said, as long as inflation remained under control and, although the indications were that it was not yet on the increase, there was a risk of this happening in the future.
Desuden skal det midlertidige udvalg efterprøve, hvorvidt et sådant system er foreneligt med fællesskabsretten, navnlig når det drejer sig om beskyttelse af borgerne mod efterretningstjenesters virksomhed.
On the question of Denmark, a point raised by one speaker, Mr Duisenberg said that the Bank would do "everything in its power to keep Denmark in the ERM" in the event of a negative vote in the forthcoming referendum on Denmark joining the single currency.
Udvalget skal undersøge, om kryptering kan give en tilstrækkelig beskyttelse til at sikre borgernes privatliv.
Denmark's membership of ERM II, was he said, "indefinite" and he promised continued cooperation with the Danish banking authorities.
Desuden skal det efterprøves, om systemet er eller kan være en fare for europæisk industri i form af industrispionage.
A dissenting view of the ECB was expressed by Alain LIPIETZ (F), speaking for the Greens/EFA.
Endelig skal udvalget i givet fald kunne fremsætte forslag til politiske og lovgivningsmæssige initiativer.
He felt the ECB had overreacted by raising interest rates towards the end of last year and indeed was "afraid of growth".
Den nye forordning, der erstatter forordning 574/1999, fastsætter listen over tredjelande, hvis statsborgere skal være i besiddelse af vi sa under ophold med en varighed under tre måneder.

Før afstemningen henledte Timothy KIRKHOPE (PPEDE, UK) opmærksomheden på to Echelon-undersøgelser i Frankrig, som gennemføres af anklagemyndigheden og den franske efterretningstjeneste.
For the EUL/NGL, Ioannis THEONAS (GR), was also critical of the ECB with its policy of pursuing narrow monetary targets. Its policies did not take sufficient account of the impact on employment, he argued and workers were not optimistic about its ability to deliver in the future.
Han ønske de at få den franske regerings garanti for, at disse undersøgelser ikke bliver nogen hindring for Europa-Parlamentets undersøgelse.
The ECB was "doomed" to failure said William ABITBOL (UEN, F) who drew attention to the scepticism of the markets and the fact that the ECB seemed to be more concerned about money than people.

Europa-Parlamentet har vedtaget betænkning af Klaus-Heiner LEHNE (PPEDE, D) om forslag til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets di rektiv om ændring af Rådets direktiv 91/308/EØF af 10. juni 1991 om forebyggende foranstaltninger mod anvendelse af det finansielle system til hvidvaskning af penge.
As to the exchange rate, the resolution notes that, historically, European currencies fluctuated considerably against the Dollar and thus expresses concern not so much about the recent fall in the value of the Euro but the reasons behind this, i.e. structural problems in the economy and a lack of dynamism.
Europa-Parlamentet er af den opfattelse, at Kommissionen har overskredet sine beføjelser i forbindelse med indgåelse af aftalen om overførsel af personoplysninger.

The original text on enlargement was however slightly watered down with the adoption of an amendment that removes the word 'strict' from compliance with the convergence criteria and adds the phrase 'in the same spirit in which transition to the third stage of EMU took place in 1998'. (i.e. accommodating Italy and Belgium).
