Če jih ne uspemo učinkovito vključiti v delo, povezano z izjavo o zanesljivosti Sodišča, bo to delo pri postopkih razrešitve za Evropski parlament le deloma uporabno.
If such findings cannot be effectively incorporated into the work linked to the Court’s statement of assurance, that work will be of limited use to Parliament in its discharge procedures.
V skladu s splošno priznanimi načeli glede revizije je treba izpolniti nekatere pogoje, da se lahko Evropsko računsko sodišče zanese na delo drugih zunanjih revizorjev.
In keeping with generally accepted audit principles, certain conditions must be met before the European Court of Auditors can regard the work of other external auditors as reliable.
Sodišče je na to nedavno ponovno opozorilo v svojem mnenju št. 6/2007.
The Court recently reiterated this once again in its Opinion No 6/2007.
Tako poudarja, da:
In that connection, it is important that:
– sta področje nadzora, ki ga opravijo nacionalni revizijski organi, in pristop do njega primerna in v skladu z nalogo Sodišča;
- the scope of the audits carried out by national audit institutions and the approach employed should be appropriate and consistent with the Court’s remit as an institution;
– se vse revizije opravijo v skladu z mednarodnimi standardi, ki se uporabljajo v zvezi s tem;
- all audit work should be carried out in accordance with applicable international standards;
– lahko Sodišče neposredno pridobi podlago, ki utemeljuje kakovost tega dela;
- the Court should have direct access to information substantiating the quality of the work involved;
– so rezultati nadzora na voljo v roku, ki ga določa letni postopek o razrešnici.
- the audit findings should be made available by the deadlines laid down as part of the annual discharge procedure.
Za ponazoritev nekaterih bistvenih težav tega vključevanja je treba poudariti, da Evropsko računsko sodišče nadzora, opravljenega na nacionalni ravni in le na podlagi sistemov brez ocenitve poslovnih dogodkov še ne more uporabiti za predložitev „Evropskemu parlamentu in Svetu izjav[e] o zanesljivosti poslovnih knjig ter zakonitosti in pravilnosti poslovnih dogodkov “ (člen 248(1) Pogodbe ES).
With a view to illustrating some of the problems inherent in this process, it should be emphasised that the audits carried out at national level which cover only systems, without assessing the underlying transactions, cannot yet be used by the European Court of Auditors to provide ‘the European Parliament and the Council with a statement of assurance as to the reliability of the accounts and the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions ’ (Article 248(1) of the EC Treaty).
Vsekakor je treba sprejeti pristop in standardne metode za večje zaupanje Sodišča v delo nacionalnih revizijskih organov.
A standard approach and standard methods are still needed in order to increase the degree of trust which the Court can place in the work of national audit bodies.
Obveščen sem bil, da je bilo delovni skupini v okviru odbora za stike nedavno zaupano oblikovanje takih standardov in meril.
I have been informed that a working party set up by the Contact Committee was recently given the task of drawing up standards and criteria of this kind.
Počakati je treba na predloge in način, na katerega se bodo lahko uporabili v praksi.
It remains to be seen what proposals are put forward and how they can be implemented in practice.
Ocene nacionalnih zunanjih revizorjev so vseeno gotovo pozitiven prispevek, ki ga mora Sodišče upoštevati med načrtovanjem in izvajanjem revizij.
However, the assessments produced by national external auditors certainly represent a useful source of information which the Court must take into account when planning and carrying out its audit work.
Očitno je, da so nacionalni revizijski organi v privilegiranem položaju glede ocenitve delovanja sistema nadzora na ravni držav članic.
National audit institutions are clearly in an ideal position to assess the way in which audit systems operate at Member State level.
Zato podpiram okrepitev sodelovanja med Evropskim računskim sodiščem in nacionalnimi revizijskimi organi.
This is why I am in favour of closer cooperation between the European Court of Auditors and national audit institutions.
To bi nedvomno moralo omogočiti boljše finančno poslovodenje sredstev Skupnosti.
This should help to bring about improvements in the financial management of Community funds.
Sicer je predvideno, da so obveznosti držav članic v zvezi s tem jasno določene (z uredbo „se določijo obveznosti držav članic v zvezi z revizijo in nadzorom izvrševanja proračuna in nastalih obveznosti ...“).
Moreover, the Member States’ obligations in this area are to be clarified (‘the regulation shall lay down control and audit obligations to be met by the Member States in connection with the implementation of the budget and the responsibilities arising therefrom....’).
Upam, da bo Evropski parlament in zlasti Odbor za proračunski nadzor izrazil pozitivno mnenje v zvezi s predlogom luksemburške vlade za moje imenovanje na mesto člana Računskega sodišča.
I hope that Parliament, and more particularly the Committee on Budgetary Control, will deliver a favourable opinion on the proposal from my government to nominate me for the post of Member of the Court of Auditors.
Po mojem mnenju je pozitivno mnenje Parlamenta nepogrešljiv pogoj za opravljanje nalog člana Računskega sodišča.
To my mind, a Member of the Court of Auditors cannot perform his or her duties without Parliament’s approval.
Če Parlament iz kakršnega koli razloga ne bi mogel odobriti predlaganja, bi luksemburško vlado takoj prosil, da na podlagi mnenja Parlamenta ponovno razmisli o predlogu za imenovanje na to funkcijo.
Should Parliament, for whatever reason, find itself unable to deliver a favourable opinion, I would immediately ask my government to reconsider – on the basis of Parliament’s opinion – its proposal to nominate me.

Engwirda za člana Računskega sodišča;
Delivers a favourable opinion on the nomination of Maarten B Engwirda as a Member of the Court of Auditors;
Parlament je poskušal karseda zmanjšati možnost različnih mnenj s tem, da je v resolucijah v letih 1992 in 1995 o postopku posvetovanja s Parlamentom glede imenovanja članov Sodišča
Parliament tried to minimise the risk of differences of opinion by making public the general principles guiding its judgement in two resolutions of 1992 and 1995 on the procedure for consulting the Parliament on the appointment of Members of the Court
c) v primeru kandidatov, ki so izvajali naloge upravljanja v javnih ali zasebnih sektorjih, brezhibna evidenca upravljanja;
c) in the case of those who have performed management duties in the public or private sectors, an impeccable management record;
Leta 2004 je Odbor za proračunski nadzor sprejel negativno mnenje o dveh izmed desetih kandidatov za člane Računskega sodišča, predlagane v skladu s pristopno pogodbo.
In 2004 the Committee on Budgetary Control adopted a negative opinion concerning two of the ten new Members of the Court proposed in line with the Accession Treaty.
Več kandidatov, ki so jih predlagale države članice, pri sedanjem postopku imenovanja ne izpolnjuje v celoti vseh meril, navedenih v resoluciji Parlamenta iz leta 1992.
As regards the current appointment procedure, several candidates proposed by the Member States do not fully comply with all the criteria set out in Parliament's resolution of 1992.
Poleg tega trenutni predlogi držav članic nasprotujejo prizadevanjem Parlamenta za ohranitev občutljivega ravnotežja pri sestavi Sodišča in večjo zastopanost žensk.
In addition, Parliament's efforts to maintain a sensible balance in the composition of the Court and to remedy the lack of female representation are being undermined by the current proposals of the Member States.
Do sedaj je v sestavi 22 moških in 5 žensk, če pa bi bili imenovani vsi predlagani kandidati, potem bi sestava štela 23 moških in 4 ženske.
Whereas to date, there are 22 male and 5 female Members, the balance would be 23 male to 4 female Members if all nominated candidates were appointed.
Zaradi tega poročevalka meni, da so potrebni bolj učinkoviti instrumenti, da se zagotovi vzpostavitev uspešnih odnosov med Parlamentom, zlasti med Odborom za proračunski nadzor, in vsakim članom ali članico Sodišča od začetka njegovega ali njenega imenovanja.
In view of the above, the rapporteur considers that more effective tools are needed to ensure that Parliament, and the Budgetary Control Committee in particular, establish a fruitful relationship with each Member of the Court from the day of his or her appointment.

Razvoj Evropskega računskega sodišča: moje izkušnje od januarja 1996
The evolution of the European Court of Auditors: my experience since January 1996
Ko sem januarja 1996 postal član Evropskega računskega sodišča, me je kljub mojim izkušnjam kot poslanca in predsednika Odbora za proračunski nadzor na Nizozemskem (1981–1989) ter kot člana kolegija nizozemskega urada za revizijo (1990–1995) presenetilo kar nekaj stvari:
When I became a Member of the European Court of Auditors in January 1996 there were quite a few things that surprised me against the background of my experiences in the Netherlands, both as a Member of Parliament and Chairman of the Budgetary Control Committee (1981-1989) and as a Member of the College of the Netherlands Audit Office (1990-1995):
­ za Evropsko računsko sodišče je značilno, da vsa ali večino svojih sporočil za zunanje interesne skupine objavi v letnem poročilu, namesto da bi jih med letom objavljalo v posebnih poročilih;
­ The European Court of Auditors had the tendency of putting all or most of their messages to their external stakeholders in the Annual Report instead of spreading them over the year in the form of Special Reports;
­ jezik poročil Evropskega računskega sodišča je bil težko razumljiv nestrokovnim zunanjim interesnim skupinam (članom Odbora za proračunski nadzor, medijem in evropskim davkoplačevalcem) in tudi strokovnjakom s področja revizije, ker ni bil dovolj jasen in pregleden;
­ The language of the ECA-reports was difficult to understand for non-specialist external stakeholders (Members of COCOBU, the media and the European taxpayers), but also for specialists in the auditing profession because it was just not clear and transparent enough;
­ v teh letih prav tako nisem razumel, zakaj je treba v okviru EU podati negativno izjavo o zanesljivosti, medtem ko sem na Nizozemskem v drugi polovici osemdesetih let in v prvih letih devetdesetih let 20. stoletja sodeloval pri postopku, ki je omogočal, da je nizozemski urad za revizijo spremenil svoje mnenje iz negativnega mnenja o izjavi o zanesljivosti v pozitivno mnenje.
­ Over the years I further did not understand, why there still had to be a negative DAS in the EU-context, whereas I had been part of a process in the Netherlands in the second half of the 1980's and the first years of the 1990's through which it became possible, that the Netherlands Audit Office could change its opinion from a negative to a positive (DAS)-opinion.
Od takrat se je veliko stvari izboljšalo, k čemur sem poskušal tudi sam prispevati:
Since then many things have improved, to which I have tried to give my contribution:
­ bistveno povečanje števila posebnih poročil Evropskega računskega sodišča o revizijah poslovanja (gospodarnost, učinkovitost in uspešnost);
­ the substantial increase in the number of Special Reports of the European Court of Auditors on performance audits (economy, efficiency and effectiveness);
­ sodišče se vedno bolj zaveda pomembnosti izboljšanja razumljivosti letnih in posebnih poročil ter jasnosti naših sporočil, med drugim tudi zaradi dela delovne skupine za komunikacijo, kateri sem predsedoval;
­ a growing awareness within the Court of the importance of improving the reader-friendliness of our Annual and Special Reports and the clarity of our messages, amongst others through the results of the Communication Working Group which I chaired;
­ naše izjave o zanesljivosti zdaj vsebujejo veliko bolj specifične in pogosto ovrednotene informacije o zakonitosti in pravilnosti poslovnih dogodkov, ki Komisiji omogočajo, da sprejme posebne popravne ukrepe in omogoči pristojnemu organu za podelitev razrešnice (Evropskemu parlamentu), da oceni učinkovitost teh ukrepov.
­ our DAS now contains much more specific and often quantified information on the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions, which enables the Commission to take more specific corrective actions and allows the discharge authority (European Parliament) to assess the effectiveness of these actions.
Akcijski načrt Sodišča in medsebojni pregled
The Courts Action Plan and Peer Review
V prvi polovici leta 2005 je kolegij Evropskega računskega sodišča sprejel moj predlog za začetek tristopenjskega postopka za izboljšanje delovanja Sodišča:
In the first half of 2005 the College of the European Court of Auditors accepted my proposal to start a three-stage exercise to improve the functioning of the Court:
­ samoocenjevanje delovanja Sodišča na podlagi reprezentativnega vzorca vseh zaposlenih na Sodišču (članov, direktorjev, vodij oddelkov, revizorjev, uradnikov, ki delajo v administraciji, prevajalcev, uslužbencev kabineta, sekretarjev), da se določijo prednosti Sodišča, njegove slabosti in področja za izboljšave;
­ A self-assessment of the functioning of the Court by a representative sample of all the people working in the Court (Members, Directors, Heads of Unit, Auditors, Officials working in the Administration, Translators, Cabinet staff, Secretaries) with the aim of agreeing on strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement for the Court;
­ akcijski načrt, ki ga predlagata pripravljalna skupina, sestavljena iz osmih članov Sodišča in generalnega sekretarja, ki ji predsedujem jaz, ter ekipa za vodenje projekta, v katerem se upoštevajo rezultati izvajanja samoocenjevanja; za izvajanje novih akcijskih načrtov je Sodišče ustanovilo projektne skupine;
­ An Action Plan to be proposed by a Steering Group of 8 Members of the Court and the Secretary-General chaired by me plus a Project Management Team, taking into account the results of the self-assessment-exercise; For the new Actions the Court has established Task Forces to implement them.
­ medsebojni pregled delovanja Evropskega računskega sodišča s strani kolegov iz priznanih vrhovnih revizorskih organov.
­ A Peer Review of the functioning of the European Court of Auditors by colleagues of respected sister-Supreme Audit Institutions.
Prvi dve stopnji postopka sta uspešno zaključeni, akcijski načrt se zdaj izvaja, medtem ko so za tretjo stopnjo vrhovni revizorski organi/urad za revizijo Kanade, Norveške, Portugalske in Avstrije potrdili, da bodo sodelovali pri medsebojnem pregledu.
The first two stages of this exercise have now successfully been completed, and the Action Plan is now being implemented, whereas for the third stage the SAIs/Audit Offices of Canada, Norway, Portugal and Austria have given their approval to act as the Peers for our Peer Review.
Moji osebni cilji za prihodnji mandat
My personal objectives for a future mandate
Vlado svoje države sem obvestil, da želim podaljšati mandat le še za polovico, tj. za tri leta in ne za celoten mandat šestih let.
I have informed the government of my country, that I only want to have half a mandate more, i.e. 3 years instead of a full mandate of 6 years.
Nizozemska vlada je odobrila mojo prošnjo.
The Dutch government has agreed to this request.
Moji osebni cilji za naslednja tri leta so:
My personal objectives for these coming 3 years are:
­ dejavno prispevati k izvajanju rezultatov različnih projektnih skupin, ustanovljenih na podlagi akcijskega načrta;
­ To contibute actively to implement the results of the different Task Forces, which have been established in the framework of the Action Plan;
­ počakati na rezultate prihajajočega medsebojnega pregleda in prispevati k kakršnim koli priporočilom skupine za medsebojni pregled za izboljšanje delovanja Evropskega računskega sodišča;
­ To wait for the results of the coming Peer Review and to contribute to any recommendation of the Peer Review team to improve the way of functioning of the European Court of Auditors;
­ v celoti podpirati odbor za nadzor Evropskega parlamenta, ki želi skleniti strateško partnerstvo z Evropskim računskim sodiščem, pri čemer bi se spoštovala neodvisnost vsakega organa.
­ To give the fullest support possible to the wish of the Control Committee of the European Parliament to establish a strategic partnership between this Committee and the European Court of Auditors whilst respecting each other's independence.
