Vprašalnik za kandidate za člane Računskega sodišča
Questionnaire for Candidates for Membership of the Court of Audit ors
Na svoji dosedanji poklicni poti sem kot javni uslužbenec spoznal in opravljal naloge v zvezi z upravljanjem, vodenjem in nadziranjem javnih financ.
In my career to date, as a public official, I have become familiar with and performed management, directorial and supervisory duties connected with public finance.
Kot državni podsekretar sem bil odgovoren za nadziranje upravljanja Ministrstva za gospodarstvo, torej za pripravo, izvajanje in nadzor proračuna za samo ministrstvo in za njegove podrejene institucije.
As Undersecretary of State I was responsible for supervising the administration carried out by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, i.e. drawing up, implementing and overseeing the budget of the Ministry and of its subordinate institutions.
Spremljanje mojega dela na tem položaju je bilo v pristojnosti računskega sodišča Republike Madžarske.
In this position the Hungarian State Court of Audit was responsible for monitoring my work.
V zvezi z upravljanjem portfelja, za katerega sem bil odgovoren, ni bil podan nikakršen ugovor ali pridržek.
No objection or reservation was ever expressed concerning the management of the portfolio for which I was responsible.
Pozneje, kot minister, nisem nadziral samo proračuna Ministrstva za gospodarstvo, ki sem ga vodil, temveč sem imel vpliv na celotni državni proračun.
Later, as a minister, I no longer merely supervised the budget of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, which I headed, but had influence over the whole of the country's budget .
V tem obdobju smo oblikovali in dosledno izvajali stabilizacijski program – glede strogosti edinstven do tedaj v zgodovini Republike Madžarske – ki je našo državo iz pasti dvojnega primanjkljaja pripeljal nazaj na pot trajnostne gospodarske rasti, s čimer smo ponovno pridobili zaupanje mednarodne gospodarske skupnosti.
At that time we devised and consistently implemented the stabilisation programme – unprecedented in Hungary 's history for its strictness – which re scu ed our country from the grave perils of the twin deficits and guided it back to a path of sustainable economic growth , regaining the confidence of the international economic community.
Ta program je ­– tako na strani odhodkov kot tudi na strani prihodkov proračuna – vključeval izredno ostre ukrepe.
This program me – on both the expenditure and revenue sides of the budget – comprised extraordinarily severe measures.
Pravilno izvajanje teh ukrepov in njihovo nadziranje, vendar ne brez racionalnosti, sta bili zame pomembni nalogi.
Implementing and overseeing these measures correctly, but not without rationality, were serious tasks for me .
Leta 2004, ko se je Madžarska pridružila Evropski uniji, sem bil izvoljen za poslanca Evropskega parlamenta, kjer sem se glede na svojo usposobljenost in prejšnje izkušnje v prvi vrsti se ukvarjal s proračunskimi zadevami.
In 2004, when Hungary joined the European Union, I was elected to the European Parliament, where, in view of my training and previous experience, I primarily concerned myself with budgetary matters.
Kot vodilni član Odbora za proračun in ad hoc odbora za pripravo finančne perspektive 2007-2014 sem imel priložnost spoznati in aktivno sodelovati pri pripravi proračuna EU.
As a leading member of the Committee on Budgets and of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Preparation of the Financial Perspective 2007-2014 I had the opportunity to familiarise myself from within and to participate actively in the drawing-up of the EU budget.
Kot predsednik Odbora za proračunski nadzor (COCOBU) in nato kot njegov vodilni član sem igral aktivno vlogo pri nadzoru izvajanja proračuna.
As Chairman of the Committee on Budgetary Control (COCOBU), and then as a leading member of the same committee, I played an active role in supervising budget implementation.
Pri tem se je razvilo tesno sodelovanje z Računskim sodiščem Evropske unije.
In the process, close cooperation developed with the Court of Auditors of the European Union.
Kot poslanec sem se seznanil z metodologijo, na kateri temelji poročilo Računskega sodišča, ki Evropskemu parlamentu služi kot podlaga za postopek podelitve razrešnice, ter sodeloval pri poglabljanju delovnih odnosov med Parlamentom in Računskim sodiščem in pri izboljšanju odnosov med Računskim sodiščem in nacionalnimi revizijskimi institucijami.
As a Member of the EP I got to know the methodology underlying the Court of Auditors’ report which served as a basis for the European Parliament’s discharge procedure and I was involved in deepening the working relationship between Parliament and the Court of Auditors and in improving relations between the Court of Auditors and the national audit institutions.
Navedite tri najpomembnejše odločitve, pri katerih ste bili udeleženi v poklicni karieri.
What are the three most important decisions to which you have been party in your professional life ?
Med svojo poklicno potjo sem sodeloval pri pripravi, sprejemanju in izvajanju številnih odločitev, tako kot sodelavec kot tudi kot oblikovalec odločitve.
During my professional career I have participated in the preparation, taking and implementation of many decisions, both as a member of staff and as a decision-maker.
Če naj izmed teh izpostavim samo tri, se mi zdi najbolj vredno omeniti naslednje:
If I have to select only three of these decisions, I would regard the following as most worthy of mention:
Projekti, ki so nastali z mojim sodelovanjem, so v madžarsko gospodarstvo vpeljali novo, mednarodno konkurenčno industrijsko strukturo in so bili zgled za druge podobne naložbe.
Projects which I helped to bring about established new, internationally competitive industrial structures in the Hungarian economy, which set an example for other similar investments.
Kot minister sem prevzel ministrstvo, katerega struktura in način razmišljanja sta bila zelo staromodna.
B. As a Minister I took over a ministry whose structure and ways of thinking were extremely old-fashioned.
Moj cilj in naloga je bila, da institucijo, ki jo vodim, spremenim v sodobno ministrstvo za gospodarstvo zahodnoevropskega tipa.
It was my aim and my task to turn the organisation which I headed into a modern Ministry of Economic Affairs along Western European lines.
Pristojnosti Ministrstva za industrijo in trgovino smo razširili na energetiko in turizem, ter preoblikovali strukturo ministrstva in postopke odločanja.
We expanded the remit of the Ministry of Industry and Trade to include energy and tourism and we transformed the Ministry’s structure and decision-making procedures.
Rezultat tega je sodobno, učinkovito in pregledno ministrstvo, ki je pod mojim vodstvom uspešno upravljalo madžarsko gospodarstvo.
As a result, a modern, effective and transparent ministry was successfully created and managed the Hungarian economy under my guidance.
V tej vlogi – v kateri sem svetoval in bil deležen aktivne pomoči kolegov-članov z izjemnimi izkušnjami na tem področju – sem prispeval k začetku izvajanja reforme postopka razrešnice, ki je najpomembnejša naloga odbora, v okviru katere smo oblikovali novo podlago za odnose z Računskim sodiščem in za sodelovanje med Računskim sodiščem, nacionalnimi nadzornimi institucijami in Evropskim parlamentom.
In that capacity – advising, and receiving active assistance from, fellow Members with exceptional experience of this field – I helped to undertake a reform of the committee’s most important duty, namely conducting the discharge procedure, in which connection we created a new basis for relations with the Court of Auditors and for cooperation between the Court of Auditors, national supervisory institutions and the European Parliament.
Ta proces, ki se je začel leta 2004, se danes uspešno nadaljuje in je bil deležen soglasja, poleg Parlamenta tudi Komisije, Računskega sodišča in drugih zadevnih strani.
This process, which began in 2004, is now successfully continuing, and has secured agreement outside Parliament too, from the Commission, the Court of Auditors and the other parties concerned.
V skladu s Pogodbo so člani Računskega sodišča „popolnoma neodvisni“ pri izvajanju svojih nalog.
The Treaty stipulates that the Members of the Court of Auditors shall be 'completely independent' in the performance of their duties.
Kako bi to obveznost povezali s svojimi prihodnjimi nalogami?
How would you apply this obligation to your prospective duties ?
V skladu s členoma 285 in 286 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije je temeljna dolžnost člana Računskega sodišča, da deluje nepristransko in neodvisno ter v interesu Unije.
Under Articles 285 and 286 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, members of the Court of Auditors have a fundamental duty to act impartially and independently, in the interests of the Union.
Ne sme zahtevati ali sprejemati navodil od katere koli vlade ali organizacije.
They are not permitted to request or accept instructions from any government or organisation.
Ne sme sprejeti nobene druge plačane ali neplačane zaposlitve, saj to ni združljivo z nalogami članov Računskega sodišča.
They may not accept any paid or unpaid employment, as that is not compatible with their duties as a member of the Court.
Posebno pozornost bom posvečal temu, da bom preprečil kakršno koli nezdružljivost pri mojem delu.
I shall be extremely careful to avoid any incompatibility from arising during my work.
V zvezi s tem se bom v največji meri prilagodil kodeksu ravnanja, ki velja za vse člane Računskega sodišča.
In this respect too I shall apply to the maximum the Code of Conduct applicable to all Members of the Court of Auditors.
Ali ste prejeli razrešnico za opravljanje svoje nekdanje funkcije, če je tak postopek v uporabi?
Have you received a discharge for the management duties you carried out previously, if such a procedure applies ?
Postopek razrešnice na Madžarskem ni povsem združljiv s prakso v Evropski uniji.
The discharge procedure in Hungary is not entirely compatible with the practice in the European Union.
Za nadzor javnih funkcij, ki sem jih opravljal, je bilo pristojno računsko sodišče Republike Madžarske.
In connection with the public offices I have held to date, all my activities have been subject to the supervision of the Hungarian State Court of Audit.
V zvezi z mojim delom ali opravljanjem mojih dolžnosti upravljanja ni bila ugotovljena nobena napaka in prav tako ni bil na tem področju izražen noben pridržek.
No fault was ever found with my work or the performance of my management duties, nor was any reservation expressed on the subject.
Ali imate poslovne ali finančne interese oz. druge obveznosti, ki bi lahko bili v nasprotju z vašimi prihodnjimi nalogami?
Do you have any business or financial holdings or any other commitments which might conflict with your prospective duties?
Ali ste pripravljeni seznaniti predsednika Računskega sodišča z vsemi svojimi finančnimi interesi in drugimi obveznostmi ter podatke dati na voljo javnosti?
Are you prepared to disclose all your financial interests and other commitments to the President of the Court and make them public?
Nimam in tudi v preteklosti nisem imel nobenih poslovnih, finančnih ali kakršnih koli drugih obveznosti, ki bi lahko bile v nasprotju z mojimi prihodnjimi nalogami.
I do not have, nor have I had in the past, any business or financial holdings or any other commitments which might conflict with my prospective duties.
Nisem in nikoli nisem bil v sodnem postopku.
I am not and never have been involved in any legal proceedings.
Predsedniku Računskega sodišča sem pripravljen razkriti svoje finančne interese in druge obveznosti.
I am prepared to disclose my financial interests and other commitments to the President of the Court.
Nimam nobenih ugovorov zoper njihovo objavo, saj sem že prej - kot član madžarskega parlamenta in nato Evropskega parlamenta – bil pripravljen sprejeti pravila, ki vključujejo tudi določbo o objavi.
As far as I myself am concerned I do not have any objection to their publication, as I previously – as a member of the Hungarian Parliament and then of the European Parliament – willingly accepted the relevant rules, which included provisions on publication.
Tudi v zvezi s tem nameravam spoštovati poslovnik Računskega sodišča in ravnati v skladu s kodeksom ravnanja za člane.
In this regard too I intend to abide by the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Auditors and all codes of conduct for its Members.
Nimam in nikoli nisem imel politične funkcije.
I have never held any political function.
Funkcijam v drugih nevladnih organizacijah in združenjih sem se odpovedal že pred petimi leti, ko sem bil izvoljen v Evropski parlament, in tudi v prihodnosti ne bom sprejemal zahtev, naj prevzamem take naloge.
I resigned from my other posts in nongovernmental organisations and associations five years ago, when I was elected to the European Parliament, and I shall not accept any request to take on such tasks in future either.
Pravni položaj je povsem jasen, kot je nakazano v točki 3.
The legal situation is perfectly clear, as indicated in point 3.
Člani Računskega sodišča so popolnoma neodvisni pri opravljanju svojih nalog in delujejo v splošnem interesu Unije.
Members of the Court of Auditors are completely independent in the performance of their duties and act in the general interests of the Union.
Ne smejo zaprositi ali sprejemati navodil od vlad ali od katere koli druge organizacije.
They are not permitted to seek or to accept instructions either from governments or from any other organisations.
To seveda velja tudi za njihove države izvora.
This naturally applies to their countries of origin too.
Če bi torej v svoji državi izvora zaznal katero koli nepravilnost, goljufijo in/ali korupcijo, bi ravnal na povsem enak način, kot bi ravnal v primeru katere koli druge države članice: sodil bi jo nepristransko in neodvisno, v skladu s pravili Računskega sodišča.
Thus if I were to observe any irregularity, fraud and/or corruption case in my country of origin, I should act in exactly the same way as I would in the case of any other Member State: I would judge it impartially and independently, in accordance with the rules of the Court of Auditors.
V skladu z veljavnimi pravili je Računsko sodišče, če izve za kakršnokoli goljufijo, korupcijo ali drugo nezakonito dejavnost ali sumi nanjo, dolžno nemudoma obvestiti Evropski urad za boj proti goljufijam (OLAF).
According to the current rules, if the Court of Auditors learns of - or suspects - any fraud, corruption or other illegal activity, it has a duty to inform the European Anti-fraud Office (OLAF) immediately.
Menim, da je treba na tem področju v največji možni meri uporabljati načelo nične tolerance, ne glede na državo, iz katere prihajajo zadevne stranke.
I believe that in this field the zero tolerance principle should be applied to the maximum, irrespective of which country the parties concerned come from.
Goljufije in korupcije ne samo da ogrožajo demokracijo in legitimnost evropskih institucij, ampak so lahko odgovorne tudi za pogosto neustrezno in neučinkovito izvajanje politik, ki smo jih skupaj oblikovali in sprejeli.
Fraud and corruption not only undermine democracy and the legitimacy of the European Institutions but can also be held responsible for the often inadequate implementation of policies which we have jointly devised and adopted.
Pomen tega je treba še posebej poudariti danes, ko si Evropska unija prizadeva najti pot za izhod iz svetovne gospodarske in finančne krize.
The importance of this should be particularly stressed nowadays, when the European Union is seeking a way out of the global economic and financial crisis.
Izvajanje dejavnosti
Performance of duties
Dobro finančno poslovodenje v javnih službah pomeni gospodarno, uspešno in učinkovito uporabo javnih sredstev ob upoštevanju veljavne zakonodaje (trije E-ji) in okoljskih vidikov (obravnavanih kot četrti E).
Sound financial management in public service means using public money economically, effectively and efficiently (the ‘three Es’), in accordance with the legislation in force and having due regard to environmental considerations (regarded as the ‘fourth E’).
Le-to pogojuje pregledne javne finance in odgovornost ter cilje in naloge, ki so izraženi jasno in razumljivo ter podvrženi stalnemu nadzoru.
This presupposes transparent public finances and accountability, as well as targets and tasks which are worded clearly and comprehensibly and are subject to continuous monitoring.
Davkoplačevalce zelo zanima uporaba javnih sredstev.
Tax-paying citizens have a great interest in how public money is used.
To ne velja le za pravilnost, temveč tudi na smotrnost uporabe denarja.
This applies not only to regularity but also to using money reasonably.
Danes, ko poskušamo najti izhod iz svetovne finančne in gospodarske krize, so vse bolj v ospredju zahteve in pričakovanja javnosti v zvezi s tem, kako se vidiki dobrega finančnega poslovodenja uresničujejo v praksi pri uporabi in nadzoru javnih financ.
Nowadays, as we try to find a way out of the global financial and economic crisis, public opinion and people’s needs and expectations regarding how aspects of sound financial management are put into practice in the use and monitoring of public finances are increasingly to the fore.
Želel bi poudariti naslednje vidike dobrega finančnega poslovodenja:
I would emphasise the following aspects of sound financial management:
– pravno-zakonodajno okolje mora zagotoviti potrebne pogoje za gospodarno, učinkovito in uspešno izvajanje in izpolnjevanje okoljskih vidikov (potrebne so, na primer, jasne in ustrezno izdelane smernice; strategije na nacionalni ravni in ravni organizacije; pregledna in celovita pravna pravila in pravila za načrtovanje, izvajanje in nadziranje proračuna; učinkoviti računovodski sistemi, sistemi za vodenje evidenc in sistemi odgovornosti; učinkovita pravila proti goljufijam; cilji in prednostne naloge, ki so določni, merljivi, razumljivi, pomembni in časovno ustrezni; skrbno sestavljeni kazalniki uspešnosti; razpoložljivost in pregledno dodeljevanje ustreznih sredstev);
– the legislative regulatory environment must ensure the necessary conditions for economical, effective and efficient execution and the fulfilment of environmental considerations (there is a need, for example, for guidelines which are clear and well drawn up; strategies at national and organisation level; legal, budget-planning, implementation and monitoring rules which are transparent and comprehensive; effective accounting, recording and accountability systems; effective anti-fraud rules; targets and priorities which are specific, measurable, comprehensible, relevant and suitably timed; carefully drawn-up performance indicators; the availability and transparent allocation of suitable resources);
– notranje regulativno okolje organizacij, ki se financirajo z javnimi sredstvi, mora biti sposobno izpolniti zahteve glede gospodarnosti, učinkovitosti in uspešnosti (k temu pripomore poslovodstvo, ki je zavezano dobremu finančnemu poslovodenju; uporaba sistemov za upravljanje informacij poslovodstva, ki spodbujajo obveščeno sprejemanje odločitev; primerno notranje regulativno okolje, vključno z ustrezno razdelitvijo nalog in odgovornosti, stalno spremljanje in učinkovito delovanje notranjih kontrol in sistemov notranje revizije);
- the internal regulatory environment of organisations using public money must be able to fulfil the requirements of economy, effectiveness and efficiency (this is aided if the management is committed to sound financial management; the use of management information systems which promote informed decision-making; a suitable internal regulatory environment, including suitable demarcation of tasks and responsibilities, continuous monitoring and the operation of effective internal controls and internal audit systems);
– odgovornost, neodvisne notranje in zunanje revizije (kar se uresničuje z objavo poročil o uporabi javnih sredstev; učinkovito in uspešno zunanjo revizijo; revidiranci, ki upoštevajo poročila in priporočila neodvisnih zunanjih revizijskih organov; s primernimi ukrepi za odpravo morebitnih ugotovljenih pomanjkljivosti; ter stalnim spremljanjem izvajanja priporočil revizorjev).
- accountability, independent internal and external audits (which are facilitated by the publication of reports on the use of public funds; efficient, effective external auditing; auditees taking into account the reports and recommendations of external audit bodies; taking suitable steps to remedy any deficiencies identified, and continuous monitoring of the implementation of the auditors’ recommendations).
Organizacija INTOSAI je leta 1977 v deklaraciji iz Lime navedla, da „je pravilna in učinkovita uporabo javnih sredstev eden od bistvenih pogojev za pravilno ravnanje s sredstvi javnih financ in učinkovitost odločitev“.
In its 1977 Lima Declaration, INTOSAI stated that ‘the orderly and efficient use of public funds constitutes one of the essential prerequisites for the proper handling of public finances and the effectiveness of the decisions [of the responsible authorities]’.
Vsa računska sodišča na svetu imajo pri tem ključno vlogo, saj je cilj njihove revizije „razkriti odstopanja od sprejetih standardov in kršitve načel zakonitosti, učinkovitosti, uspešnosti in gospodarnosti finančnega poslovodenja, da bi na ta način v posameznih primerih omogočili sprejetje popravnih ukrepov“.
All courts of auditors everywhere have a key role to play in this, since the aim of their audits is to ‘reveal deviations from accepted standards and violations of the principles of legality, efficiency, effectiveness and economy of financial management [early enough] to make it possible to take corrective action in individual cases’.
Kot član Računskega sodišča bi z veseljem sodeloval pri izvajanju tega.
As a member of the Court of Auditors I would be glad to play a part in implementing this.
V skladu s členom 287(4) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije Računsko sodišče pomaga Evropskemu parlamentu in Svetu pri izvajanju pristojnosti nadzora nad izvrševanjem proračuna.
Pursuant to Article 287(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Court of Auditors shall assist the European Parliament and the Council in exercising their powers of control over the implementation of the budget.
