Bil sem neposredni vodja centralne finančne in pogodbene enote, ki je bila v decentraliziranem sistemu finančnega upravljanja odgovorna za finančni nadzor in vzpostavitev preglednega črpanja predpristopnih sredstev Evropske unije.
I directly headed the Central Finance and Contracts Unit, which under the decentralised financial management system was responsible for financial supervision and setting up transparent use of EU pre-accession funds.
Učinkovit vstop Slovenije v Evropsko unijo je omogočil uspešen sistem črpanja predpristopnih sredstev EU, ki sem ga kot državni sekretar za javne finance in pooblaščeni državni uradnik angažirano vzpostavljal.
Slovenia’s trouble-free accession to the European Union was made possible by the successful system for drawing on EU pre-accession funds, which, as the state secretary for public finances and the NAO, I was closely involved in setting up.
Kot državni sekretar sem sodeloval z Računskim sodiščem Republike Slovenije pri reviziji pravilnosti izvršitve zaključnega računa proračuna Republike Slovenije in posameznih proračunskih programov.
As the state secretary I worked with the Court of Audit of the Republic of Slovenia on auditing the regularity of the implementation of the closing accounts for the central government budget and individual budget programmes.
Strokovne izkušnje iz finančnega nadzora kot pomembnega dela finančnega upravljanja sem pridobival tudi v zasebnem finančnem sektorju.
I also acquired professional experience in financial supervision, which is an important part of financial management, in the private financial sector.
V letu 1998 in kasneje v obdobju 2000–2004 sem kot glavni finančnik v Novi Ljubljanski banki prispeval k zaključku sanacije te najpomembnejše slovenske finančne institucije in njeni privatizaciji.
In 1998, and then later in the period 2002-2004, as the CFO of Nova Ljubljanska banka, I helped conclude the rehabilitation and privatisation of Slovenia’s most important financial institution.
Vzpostavljal sem sistem finančnega in stroškovnega nadzora ter sodeloval z naložbeniki in notranjimi ter zunanjimi revizorji.
I set up a system of financial supervision and cost supervision, and worked together with investors and internal and external auditors.
Bil sem poročevalec upravi in nadzornemu svetu za finančne izkaze delniške družbe Nova Ljubljanska banka d. d. in za finančno skupino NLB.
I reported to the management board and the supervisory board on the financial statements of Nova Ljubljanska banka d.d. and the NLB financial group.
V obdobju 2004–2008 sem pridobival izkušnje iz parlamentarnega finančnega nadzora, saj sem bil kot poslanec Državnega zbora Republike Slovenije predsednik oziroma član komisije za nadzor javnih financ.
From 2004 to 2008 I gained experience in parliamentary financial supervision as a Member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia and member/chairman of the parliamentary Committee on Public Finance Control.
Na mojo pobudo se je s pomočjo projekta tesnega medinstitucionalnega sodelovanja z nacionalnim revizijskim uradom in odborom za javne finance spodnjega doma Parlamenta Velike Britanije v obdobju 2005–2007 vzpostavil sodobnejši in učinkovitejši sistem parlamentarnega nadzora javnih financ.
At my initiative, and with the help of an interinstitutional cooperation project with the UK’s National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee of the lower house of the British Parliament, a modern and effective system of parliamentary supervision of the public finances was introduced in the period 2005-2007.
Navedeno je omogočilo učinkovitejše in bolj usmerjeno delo parlamentarnih nadzornikov in Računskega sodišča Republike Slovenije kot vrhovne revizorske institucije.
This has made the work of parliamentary supervisors and the Court of Audit of the Republic of Slovenia, which is the supreme audit institution, more efficient and more targeted.
Obenem to na podlagi načela delitve oblasti omogoča in zahteva ustreznejši odziv izvršne oblasti v uveljavljanju priporočil Računskega sodišča in zahtev slovenskega parlamenta za bolj gospodarno, učinkovitejšo in uspešnejšo uporabo javnih sredstev.
At the same time, based on the principle of the separation of powers, this makes possible and requires a more appropriate response from the executive branch in its implementation of the Court of Audit’s recommendations and the Slovenian Parliament’s demands for public funds to be used more economically, efficiently and effectively.
Tri najpomembnejše odločitve v moji poklicni karieri so povezane z zgoraj opisanim pridobivanjem strokovnih izkušenj.
The three most important decisions in my professional career are linked to the professional experience described above.
V časovnem vrstnem redu (in ne po pomenu) so predstavljene, kot sledi.
In chronological order (not by order of importance), they were as follows:
Prvič, priprava gospodarske in še posebej denarne osamosvojitve Republike Slovenije, kar je vključevalo tako tehnične predpogoje (izračun obsega denarne mase kot predpogoja za določitev nominalne vrednosti in količine tiskanja bankovcev samostojne države) kot priprava centralnobančne ter finančne zakonodaje samostojne države v obdobju 1990–91.
First, preparing the economic and, particularly, monetary independence of the Republic of Slovenia, which included both the technical preconditions (calculating the money supply as a precondition for determining the nominal value and quantity of banknotes to be printed for the independent country) and drawing up the central banking and financial legislation for the independent country in the period 1990-91.
Drugič, prenos evropske zakonodaje na področju javnih financ v zakonodajo Republike Slovenije z uveljavitvijo sodobnega metodološkega in zakonodajnega javnofinančnega okvira, vključno s proračunskim ciklusom priprave, izvrševanje in proračunskega nadzora v obdobju 1998–99, ki se je pričela s pripravo in sprejemom zakona o javnih financah, uvedbo sodobnega pristopa k pripravi proračuna Republike Slovenije.
Second, the transposition of European public finance legislation into Slovenian law with the introduction of a modern methodological and legislative public finance framework, including the budget cycle of preparation, implementation and budgetary supervision in the period 1998-99, which began with the preparation and adoption of the Public Finance Act and the introduction of a modern approach to the preparation of the central government budget.
To je vključevalo uvedbo nove proračunske institucionalne, gospodarske in programske klasifikacije skladne z metodologijo GFS in COFOG ter srednjeročno načrtovanje javnofinančnih prihodkov in odhodkov.
That included the introduction of the new institutional, economic and programming classification for the budget in line with the GFS and COFOG methodology and medium-term planning of public revenues and expenditure.
Novo uvedene klasifikacije in zakonodajni okvir so omogočili hkratno uvedbo celovitega notranjega in zunanjega finančnega nadzora ter povečale preglednost javnih financ v Republiki Sloveniji.
The newly introduced classification and legislative framework also made it possible to put in place comprehensive internal and external financial supervision and increased public finance transparency in Slovenia.
In tretjič, vzpostavitev pogojev za uveljavitev nadzora nad javno porabo v okviru Državnega zbora Republike Slovenije, ki omogoča nadstrankarsko obravnavo ugotovitev Računskega sodišča Republike Slovenije kot vrhovne revizijske institucije glede javne porabe pri posameznih revidiranih proračunskih uporabnikih ter njeno preusmeritev na revizijo smotrnosti.
Three, establishing the conditions for introducing supervision of public spending by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia, which enabled the findings of the Court of Audit of the Republic of Slovenia (the supreme audit institution) concerning public spending by individual audited budget users to be dealt with on a cross-party basis and the court’s auditing to be shifted towards auditing the proper use of funds.
V skladu s Pogodbo so člani Računskega sodišča pri izvajanju svojih nalog popolnoma neodvisni.
The Treaty stipulates that the Members of the Court of Auditors shall be ‘completely independent’ in the performance of their duties.
Sam razumem, da je popolna neodvisnost članov Evropskega računskega Sodišča tesno povezana z nujno neodvisnostjo revizorjev, ki morajo biti neodvisni, da bi lahko bili v svojih presojah popolnoma objektivni in pravični.
I understand the ‘complete independence’ of Members of the European Court of Auditors as being closely connected with the essential independence of auditors, who must be independent in order for their judgements to be as objective and fair as possible.
Zato tudi razumem, da neodvisnost članov Evropskega računskega sodišča vključuje institucionalno neodvisnost (neodvisnost od vlad držav članic oziroma neodvisnost od katerekoli Evropske ali nacionalne institucije), neodvisnost od države, iz katere član prihaja (zato še posebno pozorno spremljanje neodvisnosti in objektivnosti delovanja v takšnih primerih revizij), ter politično in finančno neodvisnost.
For that reason I understand that the independence of Members of the European Court of Auditors includes institutional independence (independent of the Member States’ governments and independent of any European or national institution), independent of the Member’s country of origin, (hence the need for particularly attentive monitoring that the Member’s actions are independent and objective in such audit cases) and political and financial independence.
Poudarjam, da sem na svoji profesionalni poti, bodisi doma v centralni banki, finančni instituciji ali ministrstvu za finance, deloval pri vzpostavljanju samoomejevalnih mehanizmov ter krepitvi preglednosti javne porabe in je zato zame bilo vedno temeljno merilo, da je „procedura, pravila igre, kraljica demokracije“.
I would state strongly that throughout my professional career in Slovenia in the central bank, the financial institution or the Ministry of Finance I worked to set up self-restrictive mechanisms and enhance the transparency of public spending, and so for me the basic guideline has always been that it is the procedure - the rules of the game - which is the pinnacle of democracy.
Prav tako sem pri delu v tujini, v Svetovni banki deloval kot neodvisen strokovnjak in tehnokrat.
That too was my guiding principle when I worked abroad, in the World Bank, as an independent expert and technocrat.
Zato bom kot član Evropskega računskega sodišča spoštoval zahtevo po popolni neodvisnosti z izogibanjem okoliščin, ki bi omajale mojo neodvisnost.
Therefore, as a Member of the European Court of Auditors I will honour the requirement for complete independence and avoid any situation which could prejudice my independence.
Še posebej pozorno bom deloval, da bi se na povsem enakovreden način obravnavali vsi primeri večjih nepravilnosti ne glede na to, katere osebe, institucije ali države so v to vključene.
I shall take particular care to deal with all cases of major irregularities in exactly the same way, irrespective of the individual, institution or country involved.
Za večino nalog, ki sem jih opravljal v javnem sektorju postopek razrešnice ni bil uporabljen.
No discharge procedure was used for most of the tasks I performed in the public sector.
V obdobju dela kot glavni finančnik Nove Ljubljanske banke d.d. sem bil kot del širše vodstvene ekipe deležen razrešnice ob potrditvi revidiranih računovodskih izkazov za posamezna finančna leta na letnih skupščinah Nove Ljubljanske banke d.d., Ljubljana.
In the period when I was the CFO of Nova Ljubljanska banka d.d., I was granted discharge, as part of the broader management team, on the adoption of the audited financial statements for individual financial years at the bank’s annual general meetings.
Nimam nobenih poslovnih ali finančnih interesov oziroma drugih obveznosti, ki bi lahko bili v nasprotju z mojimi prihodnjimi nalogami kot član Evropskega računskega sodišča.
I do not have any business or financial holdings or any other commitments that might conflict with my prospective duties as a Member of the Court of Auditors.
Tako kot sem že v času izvajanja delovnih nalog v Sloveniji vrsto let poročal pristojni slovenski komisiji, sem tudi sedaj pripravljen seznaniti predsednika Računskega sodišča z vsemi svojimi finančnimi interesi in drugimi obveznostmi ter podatke dati na voljo širši javnosti.
Just as I was obliged to report to the relevant national commission while I was performing my duties in Slovenia, so too am I now prepared to disclose all my financial interests and other commitments to the President of the Court and make them public.
Menim, da je to nujni in sestavni del preglednega delovanja in predpogoj nepristranskosti.
I believe that this is a fundamental part of the transparent performance of duties and a precondition for objectivity.
Trenutno nisem udeležen v nobenem kazenskem sodnem postopku.
I am not involved in any current legal proceedings.
Zaključuje se del civilnih postopkov, povezanih z ločitvenim postopkom, ki se je formalno zaključil z ugotovitvijo sodišča v avgustu 2008.
The civil proceedings connected with my divorce, which was formally concluded with a court decision in August 2008, are coming to a close.
Nedavno je bila proti meni napovedana civilna tožba nekdanjega generalnega sekretarja vlade zaradi nekega poslanskega vprašanja, ki sem ga nanj naslovil kot poslanec Državnega zbora in zaradi javne navedbe s strani arhivske stroke ugotovljenih nepravilnosti v času njegovega mandata.
Recently, the former Secretary-General of the Government announced that he was launching a civil action against me because of a question I addressed to him as a Member of Parliament, and because of a public statement on irregularities established by the archiving authorities during his term of office.
Nisem nosilec nobene od voljenih funkcij in nisem član nobene politične stranke.
I do not hold any elected office and I am not member of any political party.
Kako bi obravnavali primer večje nepravilnosti ali celo goljufije in/ali korupcije, v katerem bi bile udeležene osebe iz vaše države članice?
How would you deal with a major irregularity or even fraud and/or corruption case involving actors in your Member State of origin?
Kot pri odgovoru na vprašanje številka 3, bi takšne primere obravnaval na povsem enak način kot večje nepravilnosti ali goljufije in/ali korupcijo s strani katerekoli države članice.
As stated in the answer to Question 3, I would deal with such cases in exactly the same way as with any major irregularity, fraud and/or corruption involving any Member State.
Še posebej pozorno bi spremljal, da bi se v polni meri spoštovala vloga in pravila Evropskega računskega sodišča.
I would pay particular attention to full compliance with the role and rules of the Court of Auditors.
Vsekakor bi zagotovil, da bi bil v polni meri vključen urad OLAF, še posebej v primeru goljufije in/ali korupcije.
Particularly in a fraud and/or corruption case, I would certainly ensure that OLAF would be fully involved.
Nadzoroval bi, da bi se v tem primeru (tako pri ostalih) v polni meri spoštovale določbe glede popolne neodvisnosti člana Evropskega računskega sodišča.
Moreover, I would monitor such cases (as I would other cases) to ensure that the provisions on the complete independence of the Court of Auditors were complied with.
O navedenem sem pisal v letu 2007 izdani knjigi “Proračunsko pravo”, katere namen je bil krepiti tudi kulturo dobrega finančnega poslovodenja v javnih službah oziroma pri porabi javnega denarja v Sloveniji.
This is a topic I addressed in the book ‘Budget Law’, published in 2007, which aimed to enhance the culture of sound financial management in public services and public spending in Slovenia.
Tako je kultura dobrega finančnega poslovodenja tista kultura (zakonodajni okvir, metodologije, postopki proračunskega cikla), ki zagotavlja, da so javna sredstva porabljena v skladu z nameni zakonodajalca gospodarno in učinkovito ter na način, ki zagotavlja doseganje načrtovanih rezultatov.
The culture of sound financial management is a culture (legislative framework, methodology, budget cycle procedures) which ensures that public funds are used economically and efficiently in accordance with the legislator’s aims and in a manner that ensures that the planned results are achieved.
Poznano je, da zaradi zagotavljanja z okoljem, naravo skladnega razvoja, v zadnjih letih postaja vse bolj pomembna poraba javnih sredstev na način, ki minimizira negativen vpliv na okolje.
In recent years there has been an increasing focus on minimising the environmental impact of public spending in order to ensure environmentally sustainable development.
Zato so v vsakdanjem življenju – pri izvajanju javnih služb – poglavitni sestavni deli dobrega finančnega poslovanja v javnem sektorju naslednji:
Therefore, in everyday life – in performing public duties – the main elements of sound financial management in the public sector are:
– skrbna priprava in oblikovanje novih programov ali predpisov s pripravo ocene učinkov teh programov in predpisov, kar vključuje tudi stalen pregled smotrnosti izvajanja dosedanjih programih ali predpisov
- careful preparation and formulation of new programmes and regulations, including impact assessments for those programmes and regulations, which incorporates an ongoing review of the rationality of the implementation of current programmes and rules;
– njihovo gospodarno, učinkovito, uspešno ter pregledno izvajanje in nadzor nad izvajanjem, kar vključuje ustrezne notranje in zunanje kontrolne in revizijske postopke, vključno s parlamentarnim nadzorom
- their economical, efficient, effective and transparent implementation, as well as supervision of implementation, including internal and external control and audit procedures, with parliamentary supervision;
– jasno določene cilje ter predvidene rezultate z merljivimi kazalniki ter odgovornost za doseganje rezultatov.
- clearly-defined objectives and planned outcomes with measurable indicators, and allocation of responsibility for achieving results.
Zaposleni v javni upravi morajo spoštovati visoke etične standarde in imeti visoko stopnjo integritete ter se zavedati, da delajo s sredstvi davkoplačevalcev.
Public administration employees must maintain high ethical standards and have a high degree of integrity, and also be aware that they are dealing with taxpayers’ money.
Njihova dejavnost mora biti usmerjena v zadovoljevanje javnih potreb ter naravnana k doseganju rezultatov.
Their activities must focus on meeting public needs and must be results-orientated.
V zadnjih desetih letih sem neposredno sodeloval pri vzpostavljanju kulture dobrega finančnega poslovodenja v javnih službah v Republiki Sloveniji.
In the last 10 years I have directly participated in the introduction of a culture of sound financial management in the public services in Slovenia.
Zato je bilo potrebno najprej vzpostaviti celovit zakonodajni okvir: od zakona o javnih financah, zakonodaje o javnem naročanju in revizijah javnega naročanja, zakona o računovodstvu javnih služb do institucionalnih prilagoditev posameznih nosilcev javnih služb.
To that end, the entire legislative framework first had to be established, from the Public Finance Act, legislation on public procurement and public procurement auditing, and the Public Services Accounting Act to the institutional harmonisation of public service providers.
Hkrati je bila uvedena nova metodologija, vključno z novimi proračunskimi klasifikacijami, ki omogočajo odgovoriti na pomembna tri vprašanja javne porabe – kdo v imenu davkoplačevalcev uporablja javni denar, kaj plačuje iz javnih virov, vključno s tem, komu plačuje dobrine in storitve, ter predvsem, zakaj izvaja posamezne javne službe oziroma kakšne cilje in pričakovane rezultate s tem dosega.
At the same time a new methodology was introduced, including new budget classifications which make it possible to answer three important questions about public spending: who is using public funds on the taxpayers’ behalf; what is being bought with public funds, including who is being paid for individual goods and services; and, above all, why are individual public services carried out, in other words what are the goals and expected results that are being achieved by doing so?
Navedeno je povečalo preglednost priprave proračunov, njihovo gospodarno, učinkovito in uspešno izvrševanje ter omogočilo v polni meri uveljaviti finančni nadzor nad porabo javnega denarja.
This has increased the transparency of budget preparation and the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of budget implementation, and made possible the full implementation of financial supervision of the use of public money.
Računsko sodišče v skladu s Pogodbo pomaga Parlamentu pri nadzoru nad izvrševanjem proračuna.
According to the Treaty, the Court assists Parliament in exercising its powers of control over the implementation of the budget.
Kako bi opisali svoje naloge v zvezi s poročanjem Evropskemu parlamentu in zlasti odboru za proračunski nadzor?
How would you describe your duties with regard to reporting to the European Parliament and its Committee on Budgetary Control, in particular?
Lizbonska pogodba jasno določa naloge Evropskega računskega sodišča.
The Lisbon Treaty lays down clearly the tasks of the European Court of Auditors.
Zlasti vam moramo zagotoviti izjavo o zanesljivosti (DAS) in letno poročilo ter pomagati pri vaših pristojnostih ob izvrševanju in nadzoru proračuna.
We are required to submit to you a statement of assurance (DAS) and an annual report, and provide assistance as regards your budget implementation and control powers.
Poleg tega je dolžnost Evropskega računskega sodišča Evropskemu parlamentu nuditi vsakršno pomoč pri predstavitvi tem, ki jih obravnavajo poročila, in odkritih temeljnih slabosti ter predlagati možnosti za izboljšanje.
Moreover, the Court of Auditors has a duty to offer the European Parliament every assistance in presenting the topics dealt with in the reports and any fundamental weaknesses discovered, and to propose solutions for improvements.
To je skladno s temeljnimi načelom, da naj ugotovitve iz vsakega dela proračunskega ciklusa „input“ oziroma vložek v naslednjo fazo.
This is in line with the basic principle that the findings in each part of the budgetary cycle should be considered an input for the subsequent stage.
Ugotovitve iz revizij izvajanja programov sedanje finančne perspektive 2007–13 morajo biti na primer podlaga za morebitno preoblikovanje naslednje finančne perspektive.
For example, the findings of the audit on the implementation of programmes in the current financial perspective (2007-2013) should provide the basis for a possible revision of the next financial perspective.
Ob upoštevanju Lizbonske pogodbe in osebno se zavzemam za okrepljeno odgovornost Komisije pri upravljanju in nadzoru nad porabo evropskih sredstev, vendar ob hkratni povečani odgovornosti končnih (u)porabnikov evropskih sredstev v državah članicah.
Personally, and taking into account the Lisbon Treaty, I advocate greater responsibility for the Commission in managing and supervising the use of EU funds, but at the same time this should be accompanied by increased responsibility on the part of end-users of EU funds in the Member States.
Velja pa tudi obratno, kot kaže dobra praksa odborov PAC, da naj bo tudi Evropsko računsko sodišče zaveznik oziroma v oporo pri delu Evropskega parlamenta in še posebej njegovega odbora za proračunski nadzor.
As the Political Action Committees’ good practice shows, the Court of Auditors should also be an ally of the European Parliament and support it in its work, particularly the work of the Committee on Budgetary Control.
Ker ima odbor za proračunski nadzor pri tem posebno vlogo, je pomembno, da obstaja trajen, odprt in prijateljski dialog.
As that Committee plays a specific role in this process, it is important that an ongoing, open and friendly dialogue be maintained.
