Tako je torej 51 milijonov evrov odvisnih od postopka v Franciji in znašli smo se v položaju, da čeprav OLAF želi zadevo obravnavati po kazenskem pravu, se je finančnim interesom EU zadal povračilni udarec.
A total of EUR 51 m is thus being blocked by the legal proceedings in France: we are in a situation in which, although OLAF wished to apply the penal law to the case, the Union’s financial interests are being subordinated to a to-and-fro game.
Če poenostavimo, lahko le ugotovimo, da OLAF ne razpolaga z ustreznimi informacijami o količinah sumljivih izdelkov, kazenska obravnava preiskav pa je z vidika izterjav uničujoča.
All in all, OLAF is not in possession of appropriate information on the amounts involved as regards the incriminated products, while applying the penal law to the inquiries has proved disastrous for recovery.
Res je, da bi s pravnega vidika OLAF v imenu Komisije lahko spodbijal nacionalno odločbo, vendar do sedaj tega ni nikoli storil.
It is true that in legal terms OLAF could contest a national decision on behalf of the Commission : but it has never yet done so.
Če sodnik razglasi ustavitev sodnega postopka zaradi pomanjkanja dokazov, je treba nacionalno agencijo prepričati, da vloži tožbo ali se pritoži, vendar je, kakor je videti, to bilo v ZRN nemogoče.
Should the judge throw the case out, the national agency will have to be persuaded to complain or to lodge an appeal (in Germany, however, this appears not to be possible).
Druge ovire:
Other obstacles:
Treba je priznati, da sta bila sestava spornih proizvodov in trgovanje z njimi kot celota organizirana izjemno domiselno in sta bila tehnično težko izsledljiva.
Both the composition of the incriminated products and the trafficking in them as a whole have been organised in an extremely cunning fashion that militates against technical detection.
Pristop je bil zares profesionalen.
- Regarding export refunds, the operator is not obliged to keep samples.
Ob tem pa so nekatera od zadevnih podjetij še naprej deležna evropske pomoči.
For butter used for baking purposes, the samples only have to be kept for four years.
- Ko gre za nadomestila za izvoz, operater nima obveznosti hranjenja vzorcev; vzorce masla s primesmi je potrebno hraniti samo 4 leta, zato je čas hranjenja vzorcev nezadosten; nekateri omenjajo, včasih upravičeno, nestabilnost vzorcev po nekem določenem času; v ZRN se v skladu z zakonodajo vzorci nato uničijo.
In Germany, the law dictates that the samples be subsequently destroyed.
Na vprašanje, zakaj so v Nemčiji v zvezi s to afero zadevne vsote tako majhne, se odgovor glasi, da se v tej državi nepravilnosti ali goljufije priznavajo samo za posamično dokazane zneske, se pravi po segmentih.
As to why the sums involved should be so low in Germany, it has been replied that this Member State only recognises irregularity or fraud in the case of individually proven amounts, i.e. lot by lot.
Če pa teh ni, se subjekt razglasi za nedolžnega in to stanje bodo nujno izkoristili odvetniki drugih držav članic.
In the absence of a lot, the operator is deemed innocent, and this circumstance is, inevitably, exploited by lawyers in other Member States.
Obveščanje o nepravilnostih (uredba št. 595/91).
Notification of irregularities (under Regulation No 595/91) is considered the slow route, since no deadline applies (see Articles 3 and 5 of Regulation 595/91) to irregularities or fraud.
Ta možnost predstavlja počasno pot, ker za nepravilnosti ali goljufijo ne velja noben rok (člena 3 in 5 uredbe št. 595/91).
On grounds of individual protection, a Member State may refuse to give the operator’s name.
Zaradi zaščite posameznika država članica ne izda imena subjekta; predlagana je tudi revizija uredbe št. 595/91, da bi uvedli obveznost posredovanja osebnih podatkov, če so ti potrebni.
It is therefore now proposed to revise Regulation 595/91 in order to make it obligatory to hand over the necessary personal information.
Če pa je zanjo mogoče sprožiti pritožbeni postopek na sodišču, ta predvidoma traja povprečno 3 leta; tako da vse skupaj zlahka traja 11 do 12 let.
At present, a case lasts, on average, eight years from the opening of proceedings, and, in case of appeal, a further three years.
Poleg tega se, še posebej v primeru dolgega postopka, porazgubijo ugodnosti, ki jih prinaša preventiva, to pomeni, da ima subjekt čas, da izgine, morda tako, da sproži stečaj.
In addition, especially in long-drawn-out cases, the benefits of the preventive approach can often go by the board, as the operator has time enough to disappear, perhaps after arranging bankruptcy.
Ob tem je potrebno tudi omeniti, da Evropska unija drago plačuje neobstoj evropskega javnega tožilca, ki ga predvideva ustava.
It should scarcely be necessary to add that the EU is paying a heavy price for not having created the European Public Prosecutor’s office which would have been introduced under the Constitution .
Očitno je, da njegova odsotnost vir zastojev, obstajajo pa tudi razlike v obravnavi, kar goljufi izkoriščajo.
The result is a blockage of cases and an inequality of treatment, to the fraudsters’ benefit.
V začetku sta bili predvideni dve vrsti črnih seznamov , vendar države članice uredbo št. 1469/95 zelo nedosledno izvajajo.
Originally there would have been two kinds of blacklist , but Regulation 1469/95 is being highly incorrectly applied by the Member States.
Za to dejavnost se mora odmeriti znesek v višini najmanj 100.000 evrov na leto, namenjen pa mora biti nadomestilom za izvoz in podpori trgom (nakupi s posredovanjem, pomoč pri prodaji (npr. maslo za slaščice)).
Such action should involve a sum of at least EUR 100 000 and should concern export refunds or market support (intervention purchases or aid for marketing, as in the case of butter for bakery purposes).
V okviru uredbe št. 515/97 nacionalne carinske oblasti držav članic obvestijo Komisijo, ta pa obvesti druge države članice, pri čemer Komisija pošlje podatke po lastni presoji.
Under Regulation 515/97, the Member States national customs authorities inform the Commission, which in its turn notifies the other Member States.
Takšne ukrepe bi lahko sprejeli tudi pri oblikovanju črne liste.
Here, the Commission sends the details on its own initiative.
Ob tem je treba opozoriti, da je Komisija pri svojih odločitvah, koga uvrstiti na seznam dvomljivih izvajalcev dejavnosti, odvisna od prejetih informacij.
The Commission is, of course, dependent on the information which it has to enter a given operator on the list of suspect operators.
Nova uredba (1290/2005), ki prihaja s 16. oktobrom 2006, predpisuje nove finančne določbe v zvezi s skupno kmetijsko politiko, med drugim glede ukrepanja ob finančnih nepravilnostih v okviru Evropskega kmetijskega jamstvenega sklada (njegov nekdanji „usmerjevalni” del sedaj spada k strukturnim skladom) in Evropskega kmetijskega sklada za razvoj podeželja.
However, there will be a new regulation (1290/2005) in force from 16 October 2006, governing the new financial provisions concerning the CAP, including the management of financial irregularities under the EAGF (the guidance section henceforth falling under the Structural Funds) and the EAFRD (European Agricultural Regional Development Fund).
Uredba ohranja glavne značilnosti obstoječega sistema, med drugim možnost, da se znesek do 20 % vsote dejansko izterjanih terjatev Skupnosti nakaže kot pavšalno plačilo za stroške izterjave.
The main elements of the existing system will be retained, notably the possibility of paying up to 20% of the actually recovered sums owed to the Community as a flat-rate reimbursement of the costs of recovery.
Uvaja pa tudi novosti, kot na primer to, da država članica in Komisija skupaj krijeta izgube za primere, ko ni mogoče dobiti povračila v najdlje štirih letih, če potekajo le administrativni postopki, in v osmih letih, če je bil zaradi nepravilnosti sprožen sodni postopek.
There are also innovations, such as shared-interest status (as between the Member State and the Commission) for the losses faced where recovery cannot be carried out within a maximum of four years (where the procedures are purely administrative) or eight years (where the irregularity is the object of legal proceedings).
Poročevalec se sicer boji, da bi omenjena zakonska rešitev lahko ustvarila prikrito željo po splošnih rešitvah za vprašanja neizterjanih zneskov, ne da bi se dejansko prepričali, ali je bil neupravičeno nakazan denar vrnjen v blagajno Skupnosti.
Your rapporteur nonetheless fears that the new regulatory set-up may conceal a desire to impose an ‘automatic solution’ for the problem of non-recovered sums, without ensuring that the money irregularly advanced is returned to the Community’s coffers.
Takšna uredba bi na primer lahko v aferi z maslom s primesmi izničila skoraj vse terjatve Skupnosti na podlagi nepravilnosti, ugotovljenih v letu 1999, od leta 2003 in najkasneje leta 2007, ne da bi se goljufi kaznovali in ne da bi se evropskim davkoplačevalcem vrnil denar.
The existence of such a regulation could lead to the disappearance of almost all the sums owing to the Community in the wake of the adulterated butter affair and the irregularities identified in 1993 - as of 2003 and, at the latest, 2007 - without the fraudsters being punished or the European taxpayer being reimbursed for the improperly advanced sums.
Glede na nejasnost zadevne uredbe, kar zadeva njeno skladnost s temeljnimi proračunskimi načeli, kot so navedeni v členu 268 Pogodbe in v členih 2 in 17 finančne uredbe, poročevalec ocenjuje, da mora poudariti naslednje točke:
In view of the regulation’s lack of clarity vis-à-vis its consistency with the basic budgetary principles of Article 268 of the Treaty and Articles 2 and 17 of the Financial Regulation, your rapporteur believes that the following points must be stressed:
(1) ker člen 268 Pogodbe predpisuje, da se vsi odhodki Skupnosti vknjižijo v proračun, in ker člena 2 in 17 finančne uredbe prepovedujeta omejitev odhodkov in prihodkov, je treba pavšalni „zadržani” znesek do največ 20 % njegove celotne vsote, kot je to zapisano v 2. odstavku člena 32 uredbe št. 1290/2005, obravnavati kot predplačilo, pri čemer se s tem ne posega v njegovo običajno knjižbo v proračunu kot plačila Skupnosti;
(1) given that Article 268 of the Treaty calls for all Community expenditure to be entered in the budget and that Articles 2 and 17 of the Financial Regulation prohibit the compression of expenditure and revenue, the maximum flat-rate ‘retention’ of 20% referred to in Article 32(2) of Regulation 1290/2005 should be considered an advance and should not be an obstacle to entry in the budget on the usual basis as Community payment;
(2) pavšalni značaj povračila stroškov izterjave naj se nanaša na individualne stroške vsake izterjave, pri čemer omenjeni odhodek Skupnosti ne sme biti oproščen utemeljitve in nadzora, ki sicer veljata za vsak drug odhodek.
(2) the flat-rate character of the reimbursement of recovery costs should be taken as referring to the reimbursement of the individual costs of each recovery, but should under no circumstances lead to it being supposed that the Community expenditure concerned should be exempt from justification and control on the same basis as any other expenditure.
Z drugimi besedami to pomeni, da mora uredba določiti načine nadzora odhodka Skupnosti, naj si bo to za zadevno leto ali pa za programsko obdobje.
In other words, the regulation should lay down the arrangements for control in respect of this item of Community expenditure, whether for the year concerned or for the programming period.
Neposredni izdatki, ki jih upravlja Komisija
Direct expenditure managed by the Commission
V primeru Evropskega opazovalnega sistema - European Watching System (podatkovne baze, ki je pod okriljem generalnega direktorata za proračun in jo polnijo s podatki tudi drugi direktorati) bi sprememba obstoječe finančne uredbe institucijam in agencijam omogočila, da se z vsemi svojimi računalniki vključijo v mrežo in tako izboljšajo pretok informacij.
The EWS (European Watching System) is a centralised database controlled by DG BUDG and supplied with data by the other DGs: the amendment of the Financial Regulation now under way will enable the authorising officer of each institution or agency to undertake on-line research, thus facilitating the flow of information.
Vsi so namreč doslej delovali le v zaprtem krogu.
Until now, everyone was working in a closed circuit.
OLAF pa meni, da je obstoječa zakonodaja za boj proti goljufijam trenutno zadovoljiva.
From OLAF’s point of view, as things stand the anti-fraud legislation appears to be sufficient.
Nekaj predlogov izboljšav.
Some proposals for improvement:
- Z ustrezno opredelitvijo stanja zadevnih zneskov bi prispevali k večjemu razumevanju odgovornosti vseh akterjev (evropskih, nacionalnih, regionalnih, lokalnih in drugih upravnih organov).
- A proper definition of the accrual status of the sums concerned will lead to a sound understanding of the responsibilities of all agents concerned (administrative bodies at European, national, regional, local or other level);
- Mogoče je opaziti pomanjkanje sodelovanja med Skupnostjo in nacionalnimi oblasti, zelo neskladno ravnanje držav članic pri izterjavi sredstev in njihove zelo različne pristojnosti glede razrešnic.
- There is a lack of the necessary cooperation between Community and national levels, compounded by highly disparate situations as regards the recovery of funds and responsibilities concerning discharge as between the Member States;
- Pristojne nacionalne agencije se na vseh korakih srečujejo z vprašanji pristojnosti in odgovornosti, kot na primer, kateri organi so v državah članicah pristojni za plačila in kateri za revizijo.
- For the national agencies, there is a problem of competence and responsibility right across the chain: who are the payment authorities and who are the audit authorities in the Member States?
- Nejasne ločnice med vlogami, ki jih ima en sam organ pri ocenjevanju projekta, plačilu, reviziji, razsojanju, upravnem kaznovanju in izterjavi sredstev – organ ima včasih tudi status banke, kot to velja v primeru portugalske agencije za kmetijska plačila, privedejo do zelo nepreglednih razmer in ogrožajo državljanske pravice in pravice evropskega davkoplačevalca.
- There is a confusion between functions (project evaluation, payment, auditing, administrative judgment and penalisation, and recovery of funds by a single body - which may even have bank status, as in the case of the agricultural structural payments agency in Portugal).
Hkrati povzročajo resne napake pri delovanju.
This tends to legitimate non-transparency, jeopardise the rights of Europe’s citizens and taxpayers, and provoke the type of grave dysfunctioning which we have observed;
- Nedopustno je dejstvo, da plačilni organi, kot to pojasnjuje Komisija sklicujoč se na uredbo št. 595/91, niso dolžni sporočiti zneskov obresti in kazni, dejansko izplačanih v okviru ustreznih postavk, čeprav bi se lahko v skladu s členom 269 Pogodbe in členoma 2 in 17 finančne uredbe knjižili v proračun Skupnosti.
- The fact that these payment authorities, according to the Commission’s interpretation under Regulation 595/91, are not even expected to have to communicate the amounts of the interest payments and penalties actually paid under the appropriate headings - when they could have been entered in the Community budget under Article 268 of the Treaty and Articles 2 and 17 of the Financial Regulation - is unacceptable;
- Ustanovitev tožilstva in evropskega javnega tožilca oziroma podobna rešitev, če prva rešitev iz političnih razlogov ni mogoča, je nujen pogoj za izvajanje člena 280 Pogodbe, ki trenutno pri vprašanju terjatev Skupnosti ostaja le mrtva črka na papirju, kot je to pokazal primer masla s primesmi.
- The establishment of a European Public Prosecutor’s office - or, if this proves politically impossible, of an equivalent arrangement - is a sine qua non for the application of Article 280 of the Treaty, which is still a dead letter as far as the recovery of Community monies is concerned, as the case of the adulterated butter has shown.
- Naroči svojemu predsedniku, naj to resolucijo posreduje Svetu, Komisiji, Sodišču, Računskemu sodišču, nadzornemu odboru OLAF ter OLAF.
- Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, the OLAF Surveillance Committee and OLAF.

(3) The Seventh Framework Programme is to be implemented in accordance with the state aid rules, in particular the rules on state aid for research and development.
Po členih 87 in 88 Pogodbe je Komisija odgovorna za redno preverjanje vseh obstoječih sistemov pomoči v državah članicah, ker je državna pomoč načeloma prepovedana (gl. uvodno izjavo 3).
According to Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty, the Commission is responsible for keeping under constant review all systems of aid existing in the Member States, since, as a matter of principle, state aid is prohibited (see "whereas (3)).
Glede zgornje meje je v odstavku 5.12 okvira Skupnosti za državno pomoč za raziskave in razvoj zapisano: "Kadar se financiranje Skupnosti kombinira z državno pomočjo, skupna uradna podpora ne sme presegati 75% v primeru industrijskih raziskav in 50% v primeru predkonkurenčnih razvojnih dejavnosti." (glej tudi odstavka 72 in 73)
With regard to the ceilings laid down in paragraph 5.12 of the "Community Framework for State Aid for Research and Development", this specifies: "Where Community financing and State aid are combined, total official support may not exceed 75% in the case of industrial research and 50% in the case of pre-competitive development activities" (see also paragraphs 72 and 73).
(3a) Sedmi okvirni program je treba izvajati v sinergiji s kohezijskimi in strukturnimi skladi.
(3a) The Seventh Framework Programme is to be implemented in synergy with the cohesion and structural funds .
Okrepiti je treba medsebojno dopolnjevanje različnih skladov EU.
Complementarity between the different EU funds should be reinforced.
(3a) Sedmi okvirni program obsega nova področja, kot je področje varnosti, ki bi lahko vključevalo izvajanje občutljivih dejavnosti, pri katerih se lahko pojavljajo zaupni podatki.
(3b) The Seventh Framework Programme covers new areas, such as security, which could involve carrying out activities of a sensitive nature that might give rise to classified information.
Okvir pravil za udeležbo zagotavlja varovanje omenjenih informacij.
The rules for participation are framed in such a way as to ensure that the information in question is protected.
(4) Pravila za udeležbo podjetij, raziskovalnih središč in univerz morajo zagotoviti skladen in pregleden okvir za zagotovitev učinkovitega izvajanja in lahkega dostopa za vse udeležence sedmega okvirnega programa.
(4) The rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities should provide a coherent and transparent framework to ensure efficient implementation and ease of access for all participants in the Seventh Framework Programme.
(4) Pravila za udeležbo podjetij, raziskovalnih središč in univerz morajo zagotoviti skladen , preprost, celovit in pregleden okvir brez strokovnega žargona za zagotovitev učinkovitega izvajanja in lahkega dostopa za vse udeležence sedmega okvirnega programa.
(4) The rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities should provide a coherent simple, comprehensive, jargon-free and transparent framework to ensure efficient implementation and ease of access for all participants in the Seventh Framework Programme.
K sodelovanju naj bi spodbujali enostavnost in preglednost.
