V svoji poklicni karieri v politiki in javni upravi sem bil udeležen v številnih pomembnih odločitvah in pobudah na področjih, za katera sem bil neposredno zadolžen, ter v širšem vladnem smislu.
During my career in politics and public administration, I was party to several important decisions and initiatives in areas for which I was directly responsible as well as in the broader government areas.
Menim, da sem z osebnim prispevkom odigral odločilno vlogo na naslednjih treh področjih:
These, I believe, were three areas where my personal input and commitment proved to be decisive:
a) stranka, v kateri sem bil generalni sekretar, kasneje pa visoki član kabineta, si je cela sedemdeseta in osemdeseta leta neumorno prizadevala za to, da bi Malto preoblikovala v odprto in dinamično gospodarstvo, pri čemer je začela s pomembnimi reformami političnega, pravosodnega, gospodarskega in socialnega sistema.
a) Throughout the Seventies and Eighties, the party of which I was general secretary and later a senior member of Cabinet worked untiringly to transform Malta into an open and dynamic economy, with substantial reforms being launched in the political, justice, economic and social systems.
Prav ta ustroj začetnih reform je Malto pripeljal do tega, da je postala država članica Evropske unije, z vsemi posledicami spoštovanja pravnega reda Unije, za vsakega malteškega državljana na vseh področjih človekovih dejavnosti.
It was this calibre of primary reform that lead Malta towards becoming a Member State of the European Union, with all that the observance of the acquis communautaire implies, for each and every Maltese citizen in every sphere of human activity.
V čast mi je bilo, da sem skupaj z drugimi odigral eno od vodilnih vlog v zgodbi o uspehu malteškega preoblikovanja, vztrajnosti in odločnosti.
I was honoured to be a protagonist, with others, in the success story of Malta’s transformation, resilience and determination.
b) Med letoma 1987 in 1996 sem vodil obsežen program reforme socialne politike, katere namen je bil spremeniti našo socialno državo s kulturo odvisnosti v državo, v kateri lahko posameznik prevzame večji nadzor nad lastnim potencialom, in v kateri država posega z bolj osebnimi ukrepi.
b) Between 1987 and 1996, I led a wide-ranging social policy reform programme which was directed at shifting our welfare state from a culture of dependence to one where the individual is empowered to assume greater command of one’s potential and where the State intervenes with more personalised measures.
To je pomenilo sprejetje nove zakonodaje in postavitev novih struktur in programov na področju socialne varnosti, socialnega skrbstva, zdravstva, starejših občanov, žensk in zaposlovanja.
This meant the adoption of new legislation and the setting up of new structures and programmes in the field of social security, welfare, health, the elderly, women and employment.
Pod mojim vodstvom je bilo ustanovljeno Podjetje za zaposlovanje in usposabljanje, začela pa se je tudi gradnja nove splošne bolnišnice.
Under my direction the Employment and Training Corporation was established, and the construction of a new general hospital was initiated.
Poleg tega sem odigral vodilno vlogo pri zadnji malteški reformi pokojninskega sistema.
I was also a protagonist in Malta’s recent Pension System Reform.
c) Kot minister za izobraževanje sem izvedel temeljito reformo malteškega javnega izobraževalnega sistema in pozval k "Uspehu za vse otroke".
c) As Minister for Education, I undertook a radical reform of Malta’s public education system, and launched a call ‘For All Children to Succeed’.
Spremeniti je bilo treba vrstni red prednostnih nalog za prenovo javnega šolstva, ki je bilo razdrobljeno, tako da je lahko nastal sistem izobraževalnih ustanov, sestavljen iz desetih območnih izobraževalnih ustanov, ki otrokom zagotavljajo stalen in nepretrgan napredek od male šole, do osnovne in srednje šole brez ovir in pretiranega usmerjanja.
Priorities were reordered to overhaul the public school system, which was to develop from one that was fragmented to the rise of a College system made up of ten regional colleges which provide for a continuous and seamless progression for children, from kinder to primary through secondary levels, without hurdles and excessive streaming policies.
Leta 2001 sem ustanovil Malteško visoko šolo za umetnost, znanost in tehnologijo.
In 2001 I founded the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology.
Ta je omogočila sodobne rešitve za poklicno izobraževanje in usposabljanje po srednji šoli.
This provided modern solutions, in the field of post-secondary vocational education and training.
Malteška visoka šola za umetnost, znanost in tehnologijo bo v prihodnjih letih postavila temelje za Malto, ki se opira na znanje, in ponosen sem, da sem bil v ospredju prizadevanj za uresničitev zamisli o tej ustanovi.
The Malta College of Arts Science and Technology will provide the basis for a knowledge-based Malta in the coming years, and I am proud to have been at the forefront in making this facility a reality.
Pogodba določa, da so člani Računskega sodišča pri opravljanju 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’.
Naslednji členi iste pogodbe poleg tega poudarjajo, da mora biti njihova "neodvisnost nedvomna" na osebni ravni in, da "pri opravljanju teh nalog ne smejo zahtevati ali sprejemati nikakršnih navodil od posameznih vlad ali drugih organov".
Subsequent articles of the same treaty also stress that the Members’ ‘independence must be beyond doubt’ on a personal level and that ‘in the performance of these duties, the Members shall neither seek nor take instructions from government or from any other body’.
Glede na različna sklicevanja na neodvisnost menim, da morajo biti člani Sodišča sposobni presojati in delovati brez predsodkov, čim bolj objektivno, brez navzkrižja interesov, in na podlagi čim več nepristranskih strokovnih nasvetov.
In the light of these various references to independence I believe that Members of the Court require the ability to reflect and act without bias, in as much as an objective manner as possible, free from conflict of interest, and with as much impartial expert advice as possible.
Poskrbel bom za to, da pri revizijah, za katere bom odgovoren, ne bo nobenih pravnih ovir za opravljanje revizij, da bodo sredstva za opravljanje revizij ustrezna, da se noben organ ne bo vmešaval v potek teh revizij, da bo omogočen popoln dostop do informacij, potrebnih za revizije, da se bo o ugotovitvah revizij poročalo pošteno, in da se bodo naloge opravljale na pregleden način.
I would ensure that, in any of the audits under my responsibility, there would be no legal barriers to the undertaking of audits, resources to undertake audits would be adequate, there would be no interference from other bodies in the conduct of such audits, full access of information required for such audits is submitted, audit findings are fairly reported upon, and duties are carried out in a transparent way.
V zvezi s tem bom zagotavljal spoštovanje določb o neodvisnosti iz Limske deklaracije smernic o revizijskih predpisih Mednarodne organizacije vrhovnih revizorskih institucij (INTOSAI Lima Declaration of Auditing Precepts), dodatnih načel Mehiške izjave o neodvisnosti ter določb o neodvisnosti Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
In this respect, I will ensure that the independence provisions in the INTOSAI Lima Declaration of Auditing Precepts, the additional principles of the Mexico Declaration on Independence, as well as the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU provisions on the Court’s independence are adhered to.
Poleg tega sem trdno prepričan, da člani Sodišča potrebujejo primerno okolje za presojo in oblikovanje nepristranskih in objektivnih mnenj, in imeti možnost, da v svojih stikih z vsemi stranmi, ki bi lahko imele interes za ugotovitve Sodišča, lahko ohranijo uravnoteženo zadržanost, ne da bi to vplivalo na odprt dialog ter aktivno poslušanje in razumevanje vseh preostalih organov Unije.
I also firmly believe that, without prejudice to open dialogue and active listening and understanding of all other bodies of the Union, Members of the Court require the necessary environment to reflect and reach impartial and objective opinions, and to be able to demonstrate in their interactions, a balanced distance from all parties that may have an interest in the Court’s findings.
Če bom imenovan, bom od trenutka imenovanja opustil vse ostale pridobitne in nepridobitne dejavnosti.
If I am appointed I would, from that point forward, be free from any other occupation, both gainful and not.
Menim, da je pomembno ohraniti ta položaj, da bi zagotovili popolno neodvisnost in se izognili morebitnemu navzkrižju interesov.
I believe it is important to retain this status to ensure complete independence and avoid any potential conflict of interest.
Kot predsednik predstavniškega doma znam že zdaj zelo dobro poskrbeti za to, da se brez izjem ali spodrsljajev ohranja popolnoma avtonomna in neodvisna drža.
As Speaker of the House of Representatives I am already am well-versed in ensuring that a fully autonomous and independent stance is kept without exception or fail.
Citat v vprašanju se konča s potrditvijo, da je neodvisnost Sodišča v "splošnem interesu Unije".
The sentence quoted in the question ends with an affirmation that independence of the Court is ‘in the Union’s general interest’.
Prepričan sem, da Računsko sodišče, ki deluje neodvisno in pošteno opravlja svoje funkcije, podpira interese vseh strani.
I firmly believe that a Court of Auditors which acts independently and with integrity to its functions promotes the interest of all parties.
V mojem primeru se postopek za podelitev razrešnice, ki ga omenjate, ne uporablja.
The procedure of discharge referred to herein does not apply in my case.
Če bom imenovan, bom glede na dane okoliščine zapustil položaj predsednika tako, da bom svoj odstop naznanil predstavniškemu domu ter pisno obvestil generalnega sekretarja državnega zbora.
Under the present circumstances, if I am appointed, I shall vacate the office of Speaker by announcing my resignation to the House of Representatives and in writing to the Clerk of the House.
Ali imate poslovne ali finančne interese oziroma kakšne 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?
Nimam nobenih poslovnih in finančnih interesov ali kakršnih koli drugih obveznosti, ki bi bile lahko v nasprotju z mojimi nalogami člana Sodišča.
I do not have any business, financial interest or any other commitment that might conflict with my duties as a Member of the Court.
Vrsto let izpolnjujem zahteve veljavnega etičnega kodeksa za malteške ministre in poslance o javnem razkritju vseh takih interesov, imetja ali obveznosti.
For years I have complied with the requirements of the current Ethics Code for Maltese Ministers and Members of Parliament to publicly disclose any such interests, holdings or commitments.
Pripravljen sem seznaniti predsednika Sodišča z vsemi takimi interesi in obveznostmi ter ne bom nasprotoval njihovi objavi skladno s predpisi Sodišča.
I will willingly disclose all such interests and commitments to the President of the Court and will have no difficulty with their publication according to the Court’s rules.
Nisem udeležen v nobenem sodnem postopku, ki bi lahko bil v kakršnem koli nasprotju z mojimi dolžnosti člana Sodišča.
I am not a party to any legal proceedings that could in any way conflict with my duties as a Member of the Court.
Po imenovanju za člana Sodišča bom odstopil iz položaja predsednika predstavniškega doma.
On my appointment as Court Member I will step down from my post as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Z vsemi primeri večjih nepravilnosti/goljufije/korupcije bi ravnal enako, ne glede na to, ali so povezane z mojo državo ali drugo državo članico EU.
I would deal with any major case of irregularity/fraud/corruption in the same way for all cases (both those related to my country and those related to any other EU Member State).
Če bi obstajal sum ali jasne okoliščine, ki bi nakazovali kakršno koli večjo nepravilnost, goljufijo ali korupcijo, bom poskrbel za to, da bo Sodišče primer v celoti preiskalo in dobilo vse zadevne informacije o obsegu nepravilnosti/nezakonitosti ter odkrilo morebitne vpletene.
Should there be suspicion or prima facie circumstances of any major irregularity, fraud or corruption I will ensure the Court carries out a full investigation to establish all relevant information regarding the extent of irregularity/illegality and to identify the players that may be involved.
Po posvetovanju s člani Sodišča in podrobnem pregledu ugotovitev, bi nato zadevo predal uradu OLAF.
In consultation with the Members of the Court, and on scrutiny of the findings, the case would then be referred to OLAF.
Moja glavna dolžnost kot člana Sodišča bi veljala Računskemu sodišču in funkcijam, povezanim z njim.
As a Member of the Court my first duty would be towards the Court of Auditors and its respective functions.
Trdno sem prepričan, da bi bila nepristranska ocena zadev, povezanih s kršitvami, ki bi vključevale mojo državo, še vedno v njenem najboljšem interesu, zato bi v takem primeru svojo funkcijo opravljal enako neodvisno, nepristransko, pošteno, skrbno in nepopustljivo strogo kot v primerih druge države članice.
I firmly believe that an impartial assessment of matters related to default situations involving my own country would still be in its best interests and I would therefore perform my function with due independence, impartiality, integrity, diligence and rigorous scrutiny as in cases involving any other Member State.
Tudi na svojem sedanjem položaju predsednika predstavniškega doma na Malti od mene pričakujejo, da bom zadeve obravnaval nepristransko in objektivno.
In my current capacity as Speaker of the House of Representatives in Malta, I am similarly expected to treat matters in an impartial objective manner.
V predstavniškem domu sem zaradi načina opravljanja svoje vloge deležen spoštovanja obeh strani.
I do enjoy the respect of both sides of the House for the way I have discharged my role
Tri glavne značilnosti dobrega finančnega poslovodenja z javnimi sredstvi so gospodarna, učinkovita in uspešna poraba finančnih sredstev in virov za dosego zastavljenih ciljev.
The three key features of sound financial management of public resources are the economical, efficient and effective use of funds and resources for achieving stated objectives.
Revizija bi morala zagotoviti spoštovanje predpisov o naročilih in obstoječih sistemov za zagotavljanje najcenejše operativne izbire.
An audit should ensure compliance with procurement regulations, and systems in place to guarantee the least costly operational options.
Učinkovitost zagotavlja stroškovno učinkovitost tekočih operacij in upravljavskih odločitev, medtem ko uspešnost ocenjuje, ali nam je s celotnimi stroški in upravljavskimi sistemi uspelo doseči zastavljene cilje.
Efficiency ensures cost-effectiveness of current operations and management decisions whereas effectiveness evaluates whether the entire cost and management system is successful in delivering the intended outcomes.
Ali so rezultati jasno merljivi in ali so imeli želene učinke?
Are outcomes clearly measured, and have the outcomes led to the desired impacts?
Za dobro finančno poslovodenje velja tudi naslednje:
Sound financial management is also illustrated by the following:
· obstoj strokovnih in ustreznih upravljavskih struktur, usposobljenega in primernega osebja in dobrega poznavanja predpisov;
· Competent and proper management structures, trained and adequate staff, and a sound knowledge of regulations in place;
· ustrezno strateško načrtovanje, jasno določeni cilji in naloge, jasna razmejitev odgovornosti osebja ter jasne informacije in komunikacija v celotni organizaciji;
· Adequate strategic planning, clearly defined objectives and tasks, clear delineation of staff responsibility, and clear information and communication throughout the organisation;
· ustrezni informacijski sistemi, pravočasne in natančne evidence, razpoložljivost vseh računovodskih listin tretjih oseb, revizijske sledi in dokazi o spoštovanju splošnih postopkov naročil ter redno ocenjevanje vodenja podjetja;
· Adequate information systems, timely and accurate records, availability of all third party vouching documents, audit trails and evidence of compliance with general procurement processes, and regular management evaluations of performance;
· notranje kontrole, ocene tveganja in obstoj sistemov notranje revizije;
· Internal controls, risk assessments and having internal audit systems in place;
· pravočasno finančno poročanje za zunanje zainteresirane strani;
· Timely financial reporting for external stakeholders;
· zunanja revizijska poročila brez pridržkov in pisma poslovodstvu o ukrepih zunanjih revizij;
· Unqualified external audit reports and actioned management letters from external audits;
· dokazi o stalnih prizadevanjih za odpravo pomanjkljivosti ali upoštevanje priporočil na podlagi notranjih kontrol, notranjih in zunanjih revizij in drugih pregledov.
· Evidence of ongoing efforts to address shortcomings or recommendations identified through internal controls, internal and external audits and other review processes in place.
Računsko sodišče pomaga Parlamentu pri izvajanju svojih pristojnosti nadzora nad izvrševanjem proračuna s predložitvijo svojih revizijskih poročil o finančnih sredstvih EU, zlasti prek Odbora za proračunski nadzor.
The Court assists Parliament in exercising its powers of control over the implementation of the budget through the presentation of its audit reports of EU finances, in particular through the Committee on Budgetary Control.
Evropski parlament spremlja izvrševanje proračuna.
The European Parliament monitors the implementation of the budget.
Sodišče obvešča Parlament z izjavo o zanesljivosti letnih računovodskih izkazov ter zakonitosti in pravilnosti z njimi povezanih transakcij.
The Court informs Parliament, with a Statement of Assurance, on the reliability of the accounts and the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions.
Na ta način ščiti in podpira "finančne interese državljanov Unije".
In doing so it safeguards and promotes ‘the financial interests of the citizens of the Union’.
Odbor za proračunski nadzor Evropskega parlamenta je organ, ki nadzira odhodke EU.
The European Parliament’s Committee on Budgetary Control is the body that scrutinises EU expenditure.
Razpravlja o vprašanjih, povezanih z zbiranjem in porabo sredstev EU, kar počne na podlagi ugotovitev Sodišča, njegovih stališč o tveganjih, zmanjševanju tveganja in boljši porabi sredstev.
It discusses matters concerning the collection and spending of EU funds, and does so in the light of the Court’s findings, its views on risks, mitigation and possible fund use improvements.
Prek stikov z Odborom za proračunski nadzor Sodišče dobiva dragocene povratne informacije o področjih, kjer bi lahko nastale težave ali kršitve, kar je Sodišču lahko v pomoč pri lastnem delovnem programu.
In its contacts with the Committee on Budgetary Control the Court receives valuable feedback on areas of potential concern or default in that these may help with the Court’s own work-programme.
Kot član Sodišča bi moral Parlamentu predstaviti ugotovitve Sodišča v vzdušju odprtega dialoga in sodelovanja, predstaviti revizorsko metodo, rezultate, ocene in mnenja o stopnji tveganja glede na ugotovitve.
As a Member of the Court my duty would be to present to Parliament the findings of the Court in a spirit of open dialogue and collaboration, presenting audit methodology, results, appraisal and opinions regarding the level of risk that such findings will involve.
To naj bi Parlamentu pomagalo bolje opravljati svojo funkcijo, povezano s proračunom in na splošno izboljšalo zakonodajni okvir EU.
This should serve to help Parliament better execute its functions in relation to the budget, and to generally refine the EU’s regulatory framework.
Vedno večji pomen, ki ga Parlament pripisuje ugotovitvam Sodišča, je osrednjega pomena za prihodnjo zdravo izmenjavo mnenj in večje medsebojno spoštovanje funkcij, ki jih opravljajo drugi organi v Uniji.
The increasing importance given by Parliament to the Court’s findings is a key to future healthy exchanges of views and better appreciation of each other’s function within the Union.
Revizije poslovanja so namenjene oceni delovanja enot glede gospodarnosti, učinkovitosti in uspešnosti, kot je že bilo ugotovljeno.
Performance audits serve to evaluate the functioning of entities in terms of economy, efficiency and effectiveness, as identified earlier on.
To pomaga oceniti, ali so dejavnosti gospodarne in v skladu z načeli in praksami dobrega upravljanja; ali se človeški, finančni in drugi viri učinkovito uporabljajo; in za oceno dosežkov enote, ki je predmet revizije, vključno z oceno dejanskega učinka v primerjavi z načrtovanim učinkom.
This helps assess the economy of activities in accordance with sound administrative principles and practices; whether human, financial and other resources are being efficiently utilised; and the achievements of the audited entity including an evaluation of the actual impact compared to what was intended.
Glavna korist revizije poslovanja so njeni mehanizmi, ki omogočajo, da se vprašamo o sedanjih praksah in jih ocenimo, da bi določili slabosti ali pomanjkljivosti, kadar slednje obstajajo, ter oblikujemo splošna priporočila za možne izboljšave.
The lead benefit of performance audit is its mechanism which allows for present practice to be questioned and assessed in order to identify weaknesses or deficiencies, where these exist, so as to generate recommendations for possible improvements.
Njena glavna prednost je, da omogoča strukturirana in sistematična prizadevanja za izboljšave.
Its principal merit is that it allows this search for improvement to be carried out in a structured and systematic manner.
Pogled z razdalje, ki ga zagotavlja revizija poslovanja, bi moral koristiti zlasti vodstvu, ki je lahko tako zaposleno s podrobnostmi izvajanja svojih nalog, da ne more v celoti oceniti potenciala za izboljšanje obstoječih načinov dela.
The distinct insight provided by a performance audit should be of particular benefit to management which may be so much involved in the detailed execution of its task it may not be able to fully appreciate the potential to improve current practices.
Vodstvo bi moralo izkoristiti ugotovitve revizije poslovanja in biti pripravljeno upoštevati priporočila in jih vključiti v svoj načrt sprememb.
Management should exploit the findings of a performance audit by being open to adopt and incorporate the recommendations in its own agenda for change.
Bistvenega pomena je, da imamo na voljo mehanizme za nadaljnje spremljanje in ugotavljanje, ali in koliko je vodstvo po preteku določenega časa upoštevalo priporočila.
It is crucial to have follow-up mechanisms in place in order to determine if and to what extent recommendations have been adopted by management over time.
Enote, ki so prejele tehtna priporočila za izboljšanje vidikov svojega delovanja ali upravljanja, bi morale poročati o tem, kako so ta priporočila upoštevale.
Entities that received strong recommendations to improve aspects of their operations or management should report how recommendations have been implemented.
Izkušnje iz javnega življenja učijo, da imajo priporočila vrednost samo, če se pravilno in pravočasno upoštevajo.
Experience in public life teaches one that the value of recommendations lay only in their proper and timely implementation.
Sodelovanje se lahko izboljša, če se med temi institucijami še bolj spodbuja občutek služenja skupnemu namenu, kar bi okrepilo splošni okvir za sodelovanje in delo glede na splošni cilj, ki je zavarovanje finančnih interesov EU.
Cooperation can improve if a sense of common purpose is further advocated between these institutions, reinforcing the general framework of collaboration and work in terms of the overall purpose of securing the EU’s financial interests.
