V nadaljevanju navajam pregled mojih strokovnih dejavnosti pri postopkih zbiranja in upravljanja javnih financ, pa tudi mojih akademskih dejavnosti v vlogi izrednega profesorja finančnega prava, v kateri sem prispeval k izobraževanju in usposabljanju strokovnjakov na področjih proračuna, davkov, carin, finančnega nadzora in finančnih trgov.
Below, I give an overview of my professional activities in the processes of collecting and managing public finances, as well as my academic activities as associated professor of financial law, through which I have been contributing to the education and training of professionals in the fields of budget, tax, customs, financial controls and financial markets.
a) Kot vodja pravne službe carinske uprave Republike Slovaške na začetku 90-ih let prejšnjega stoletja sem pridobil izkušnje s področja carin.
a) In my capacity as chief lawyer at the Customs Directorate of the Slovak Republic in the early 1990s, I gained experience in the field of customs duties.
Pozneje sem zasedal različne vrhunske vodilne funkcije, kar mi je ponudilo možnost sodelovanja pri postopkih zbiranja in upravljanja sredstev državnega proračuna.
Subsequently, I held various top managerial posts, which gave me the opportunity to participate in the processes of collecting and managing the resources of the State budget.
Sodeloval sem tudi z največjo komercialno banko na Slovaškem – VÚB.
I have also worked with the largest commercial bank in Slovakia – VÚB.
Dobiček banke je bil do njene privatizacije vezan na državni proračun in banka je bila del finančnega premoženja države.
Until its privatisation, the profit of the state-owned VÚB was linked to the State budget and the bank formed part of the State's financial assets.
V okviru programa USAID sem v sodelovanju s podjetjem KPMG in revizorskim podjetjem McKinsey & Company vodil skupino, ki je izpeljala prestrukturiranje portfelja posojil banke VÚB.
Also, under the USAID programme, in collaboration with KPMG and the McKinsey & Company auditors, I led the team carrying out the restructuring of VÚB's loan portfolio.
To je privedlo do ustanovitve oddelka za konverzijo dolgov, ki je bil odgovoren za upravljanje skoraj tretjine portfelja posojil banke.
This resulted in the creation of the Loan Workout Department, which was responsible for managing almost one third of the bank's loan portfolio.
b) Med ostale vrhunske vodilne funkcije, ki sem jih zasedal od leta 2001 do sedaj, sodijo naslednje: viceguverner Izvozno-uvozne banke Republike Slovaške in član upravnega odbora te banke, predsednik uprave Slovaške agencije za investicije in trgovino (SARIO) in član bančnega sveta Narodne banke Slovaške.
b) My other top managerial posts have included, successively from 2001 until present, the following positions: Vice-Governor of the Export-Import Bank of the Slovak Republic and member of its Bank Board, CEO of the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency - SARIO, and member of the Bank Board of the National Bank of Slovakia.
Trenutno sem podpredsednik sveta direktorjev Slovaške banke za jamstvo in razvoj.
At present, I am the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Slovak Guarantee and Development Bank.
Na vsem omenjenih delovnih mestih sem aktivno upravljal postopke notranjega nadzora in revizije, obravnaval sem oblikovanje in odobritve načrtov za nadzor in revizijo ter pobližje spoznaval predhodne postopke, postopke v teku in postopke nadaljnjega spremljanja.
At all the above posts, I have been actively managing the internal control and audit processes, dealing with the establishment and approval of plans of control and audit, and becoming acquainted with preliminary, ongoing and follow-up control-procedures.
Bil sem tudi član nadzornih sveto več institucij, kar je pomenilo, da sem nadzoroval njihove finančne dejavnosti in ocenjeval njihove revizije.
I was also a member of the supervisory boards of several institutions, which included the supervision of their financial operations and evaluation of their audits.
c) Predsednik vlade Republike Slovaške se je na podlagi mojih dolgoletnih izkušenj na finančnem področju odločil, da me leta 2006 imenuje za člana svojega kolegija svetovalcev in za svojega svetovalca za finance in tuje naložbe.
c) The Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic decided, due to my long-term experience in the financial field, to appoint me as a member of his College of Advisers and his Adviser for Finance and Foreign Investments in 2006.
V tej funkciji sodelujem pri upravljanju javnih financ.
In this capacity, I take part in the management of public finance.
To pomeni pripravo mnenj za predsednika vlade o gradivu, o katerem razpravlja vlada, ali o osnutkih zakonov, ki jih predlagajo pristojna ministrstva na področjih proračuna, davkov, naložbenih spodbud, finančnih trgov, tujih naložb itd.
This involves the preparation of opinions for the Prime Minister on any material debated by the Government, or on draft bills submitted by the competent ministries in the fields of budget, tax, investment incentives, financial markets, foreign investments etc.
Za izpolnjevanje mojih nalog na tej funkciji vzpostavljam stike s pristojnimi organi zadevnih ministrstev, kar mi daje možnost vplivanja na njihove politike in odločanje na področju javnih financ.
In order to fulfil my duties in this position, I liaise with the responsible authorities of the ministries concerned, which provides me with an opportunity to influence their policies and decision-making in the field of public finance.
d) Za pomembne štejem tudi moje akademske dejavnosti v vlogi izrednega profesorja finančnega prava na Univerzi Komenskega, ki je najstarejša na Slovaškem.
d) I also consider relevant my academic activities as associated professor of financial law at Slovakia's oldest University – Comenius University.
To mi daje izjemno priložnost neposrednega povezovanja teorije in znanosti s konkretno prakso javnih financ.
This provides me with an excellent opportunity to interlink the theory and science with the concrete practice of public finance.
O javnih financah, proračunskemu pravu, finančnemu nadzoru, davčnemu in carinskemu pravu in valutnem in deviznem pravu ter pravu finančnih trgov predavam zadnjih petnajst let.
I have been lecturing in public finance, budget law, financial controls, tax and customs law, currency and foreign exchange and financial markets law for fifteen years.
Posledica tega je, da sem srečal svoje številne bivše na nadzornih funkcijah v centralni banki, na funkcijah v sektorju finančnega nadzora ter v javni upravi, v bankah in drugje.
As a consequence of this activity, I have encountered many of my former students at supervisory posts in the Central Bank, at posts in the financial controls sector and in public administration, in banks and elsewhere.
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?
Naslednje odločitve so po mojem mnenju najpomembnejše, kar sem jih sprejel na področju javnih financ.
I consider the following decisions to be the most important decisions that I have taken in the field of public finance.
a) V težkem času tranzicije v sredini 90-let prejšnjega stoletja sem sodeloval pri upravljanju zelo tveganih posojil v največji komercialni banki na Slovaškem – VÚB.
a) During the difficult transition period of the mid-1990s, I was involved in the management of high risk loans in the largest commercial bank in Slovakia – VÚB.
Po večletnem sodelovanju z mednarodnimi revizorskimi svetovalci banke sem oblikoval oddelek za zelo tvegana posojila pri tej banki – oddelek za konverzijo dolgov – in postal njegov prvi direktor.
Following several years of collaboration with the bank's international audit consultants, I established VÚB's high risk loans department – the Loans Workout Department, and became its first Director.
V tej vlogi sem upravljal s terjatvami, ki so znašale več kot 30 milijard slovaških kron (skoraj milijarda EUR).
In this capacity, I was managing receivables amounting to more than SKK 30 billion (almost EUR 1 billion).
Tako sem postavil temelje za tovrstno dejavnost, z namenom zagotavljanja vračanja posojil banki.
I have thus laid out the foundations for this kind of activity, with a view to securing the return of loans to the bank.
b) Leta 2003 sem ustanovil oddelek za nadzor in revizijo pri Slovaški agenciji za investicije in trgovino (SARIO), ki dotlej ni imela kontrolnih mehanizmov, kljub temu, da je prejemala sredstva iz državnega proračuna.
b) In 2003, I established the Control and Audit Section at the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency – SARIO, which did not have control mechanisms until then in spite of the fact that it was receiving funds from the State budget.
Mojo odločitev je spodbudilo tudi dejstvo, da je agencija uporabljala predpristopna sredstva EU ter naj bi pozneje postala izvedbena agencija za strukturne sklade, zlasti kar je zadevalo oblikovanje industrijskih parkov.
My decision was also motivated by the fact that SARIO was using EU pre-accession funding and was to become the Implementing Agency of the Structural Funds, mainly as regards the creation of industrial parks.
c) Tretja kategorija odločitev je povezana z mojim sodelovanjem v razmeroma majhni skupini, ki je leta 2006 oblikovala končno besedilo manifesta vlade slovaške republike.
c) The third category of decisions relates to my participation in a relatively small team which formulated the final wording of the Manifesto of the Government of the Slovak Republic in 2006.
Prispeval sem k zasnovi makroekonomskega okvira, politiki o javnih financah in njihovi vzdržnosti ter davčni in gospodarski politiki.
I contributed to the design of its macroeconomic framework, its policy on public finances and their sustainability, and its policy on taxes and the economy.
V tej kategoriji odločitev bi žele omeniti tudi moj prispevek k sprejetju evra na Slovaškem.
Within this category of decisions, I would also like to mention my contribution to the adoption of the euro in Slovakia.
Med drugim sem pripravil osnutek Deklaracije o socialnem sporazumu za sprejetje in uporabo evra na Slovaškem , ki jo je v imenu vlade podpisal predsednik vlade z vsemi socialnimi partnerji in občinami.
Among others, I drafted the Declaration of Social Agreement to Adopt and Use the Euro in Slovakia , which the Prime Minister signed on the Government's behalf with all the social partners and municipalities.
Ta dokument vsebuje zavezo vlade, da bo v celoti izvajala politike iz njenega konvergenčnega programa za obdobje 2007-2010.
The above document provides for an undertaking by the Government to fully implement the policies contained in its 2007-2010 Convergence Programme.
Poleg tega vključuje zavezo vlade, da bo izpolnjevala svoje zaveze iz revidiranega pakta stabilnosti in rasti ter zlasti obvezo, da bo nadaljevala z utrjevanjem javnih financ.
Furthermore, it includes the Government's commitment to fulfil its obligations resulting from the revised Stability and Growth Pact, and, in particular, the obligation to continue consolidating public finances.
Ta deklaracija je bila omenjena tudi v poročilu Komisije o konvergenci za leto 2008.
This Declaration was also referred to in the Commission's Convergence Report 2008.
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.
Kot član Računskega sodišča bi dosledno spoštoval to obveznost, v skladu z ustreznimi določbami Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
As a Member of the Court of Auditors, I would rigorously respect the above obligation, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
Zahteva po popolni neodvisnosti iz drugega odstavka člena 285 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije je dodatno razložena v členih 286(1) in 286(3)-(4).
The requirement of complete independence, enshrined in the second paragraph of Article 285 TFEU, is further developed in Article 286(1) and 286(3)-(4) TFEU.
Prepričan sem, da moje strokovne izkušnje, osebni značaj in kakovosti, pa tudi dejstvo, da nisem član nobene politične stranke, „nedvomno“ zagotavljajo mojo popolno neodvisnost pri opravljanju mojih dolžnosti, kot to zahteva člen 286(1) Pogodbe.
I am convinced that my professional experience, personal character and qualities, as well as the fact that I am not a member of any political party, will guarantee my complete independence in the performance of my duties ‘ beyond doubt ’, as required by Article 286(1) TFEU.
Lahko tudi zagotovim, da bom dosledno spoštoval obveznosti iz člena 286(3) Pogodbe o delovanju EU, in sicer, da ne bom zahteval ali sprejemal nikakršnih navodil od posameznih vlad ali drugih organov ter da se bom vzdržal vsakršnega ravnanja, ki je nezdružljivo z mojimi bodočimi nalogami.
I can also assure you that I would strictly respect the obligations, contained in Article 286(3) TFEU, not to seek or take instructions from any government or from any other body, and to refrain from any action incompatible with my prospective duties.
Kot zahteva člen 286(4) pogodbe, med svojim mandatom ne bom opravljal nobene druge poklicne dejavnosti (glej tudi moj odgovor na vprašanje 6).
As required by Article 286(4) TFEU, during my term of office, I would not engage in any other occupation (see also my answer to question 6).
Po končanem mandatu bom pri sprejetju zadolžitev in ugodnosti pošten in diskreten.
After my term of office, I would behave with integrity and discretion as regards the acceptance of appointments or benefits.
Kar zadeva prepoved zahtevanja ali sprejemanja navodil člen 286(6) pogodbe določa dodatno varovalko, po kateri je lahko član razrešen ali se mu lahko odvzamejo določene pravice le, kadar tako odloči Sodišče na predlog Računskega sodišča.
As regards the prohibition to seek or take instructions, Article 286(6) TFEU provides an additional safeguard, whereby Members may be deprived of their office or of certain benefits only by the Court of Justice, at the request of the Court of Auditors.
Poleg tega bom deloval v skladu s kodeksom ravnanja članov Računskega sodišča, ki je priložen sodbi Sodišča 92-2004, ki določa izvedbena pravila njegovega poslovnika.
I will also act in accordance with the requirements of the Code of Conduct for the Members of the Court of Auditors, which is annexed to the Court's Decision 92-2004 laying down the Implementing Rules to its Rules of Procedure.
Poleg tega se bom zanašal na deklaracijo iz Lime o smernicah o revizijskih predpisih, ki je bila sprejeta leta 1977 v okviru Mednarodne organizacije vrhovnih revizorskih institucij (INTOSAI) in se pogosto šteje za magno carto zunanjih vladnih revizij.
In addition, I would draw inspiration from the Lima Declaration of Guidelines on Auditing Precepts , adopted in 1977 under the aegis of INTOSAI and frequently referred to as the ‘Magna Carta’ of external government auditing.
Kot navaja deklaracija, lahko vrhovne revizorske institucije objektivno izpolnjujejo svoje naloge le, če so neodvisne od subjektov, katere revidirajo, ter zaščitene pred zunanjimi vplivi.
According to the Declaration, supreme audit institutions can fulfil their tasks objectively only if they are independent of the audited entities and are protected against outside influence.
Uživati morajo potrebno funkcionalno in organizacijsko neodvisnost, ki mora biti ustavno zagotovljena.
They shall enjoy the necessary functional and organisational independence, which must be constitutionally guaranteed.
Omenjeni okvir ponuja ustrezna jamstva za neodvisnost, kot jih – po mojem skromnem mnenju – tudi sam kot kandidat za člana Računskega sodišča.
The above framework offers appropriate guarantees of independence, and so do I, in my humble opinion, as a candidate for membership of the Court of Auditors.
Ali ste prejeli razrešnico za opravljanje svoje nekdanje upravljavske funkcije, če je tak postopek v uporabi?
Have you received a discharge for management duties you carried out previously, if such a procedure applies?
Za moje dolžnosti, opisane zgoraj, ni bil predviden formalni postopek razrešnice.
No formal discharge procedures applied to my duties described above.
Ob prenehanju mojih upravljavskih funkcij pa je bilo delo, ki so ga opravile skupine, za katere sem bil odgovoren, vedno pozitivno ocenjeno.
However, the discharge of my management duties has always been rewarded by positive assessments of the work carried out by the teams under my responsibility.
Poleg tega so mi bile vedno zaupane nove funkcije z večjo odgovornostjo.
Furthermore, I have been progressively entrusted with new functions and more responsibilities.
Na primer, po tem, ko sem pri banki VÚB delal kot direktor oddelka, sem bil imenovan za namestnika generalnega direktorja.
For example, after having worked as the Director of a Department at VÚB, I was appointed Deputy Director-General.
Po tem, ko sem bil viceguverner Izvozno-uvozne banke, sem bil imenovan za predsednika uprave agencije SARIO in pozneje za člana bančnega sveta Narodne banke Slovaške.
After having worked as Vice-Governor of the Export-Import Bank, I was appointed CEO of SARIO and later member of the Bank Board of the National Bank of Slovakia.
Kot izredni profesor finančnega prava sem bil imenovan za direktorja oddelka za finančno pravo pravne fakultete Univerze Komenskega.
As associated professor of financial law, I was appointed Director of the section of financial law of the Faculty of Law, Comenius University.
Ali imate poslovne ali finančne interese oziroma kakšne druge obveznosti, ki bi lahko bile 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 predsedniku Računskega sodišča razkriti vse svoje finančne interese in druge obveznosti ter jih objaviti?
Are you prepared to disclose all your financial interests and other commitments to the President of the Court and make them public?
Če ste trenutno udeleženi v sodnem postopku, navedite podrobnosti.
In case you are involved in any legal proceedings, would you please give details?
Nimam poslovnih ali finančnih interesov oziroma drugih obveznosti, ki bi lahko bile v nasprotju z mojimi prihodnjimi nalogami.
I do not have any business or financial holdings, or any other commitments, which might conflict with my prospective duties.
Seveda sem pripravljen predsedniku Sodišča razkriti vse finančne interese in druge obveznosti ter jih objaviti.
I am of course prepared to disclose all my financial interests and other commitments to the President of the Court, and make them public.
V zvezi s tem bi želel opozoriti, da v skladu s slovaškim pravom
In this context, I would like to note that, in accordance with Slovak law
Oddelek 7 ustavnega zakona št. 357/2004 Coll. o varstvu javnega interesa v povezavi z opravljanjem dolžnosti javnih uslužbencev, kot je bil spremenjen. vsako leto razkrijem podatke o mojem izpolnjevanju zahtev, povezanih z nezdružljivostjo funkcij, parlamentarnemu odboru za nezdružljivost funkcij, pa tudi podatke o mojih prihodkih in premoženju.
Section 7 of the Constitutional Act No 357/2004 Coll. on the protection of the public interest with respect to the discharge of duties of public officials, as amended. , every year, I disclose information on my fulfilment of requirements relating to the incompatibility of functions to the Parliamentary Committee on Incompatibility of Functions, as well as information on my revenues and assets.
Ti podatki so javno dostopni na spletni strani odbora
This information is publicly accessible on the Committee’s website
Udeležen nisem v nobenem sodnem postopku.
I am not involved in any legal proceedings.
V celoti podpiram zahtevo po popolni neodvisnosti članov Računskega sodišča.
I fully endorse the requirement of complete independence of the Members of the Court of Auditors.
Zato bom po mojem imenovanju seveda odstopil z vseh funkcij, ki jih trenutno zasedam.
Therefore, after my appointment as Court Member, I will of course step down from all the offices and posts that I currently hold.
Nisem niti člani politične stranke, niti v njej ne zasedam nobene funkcije.
I am neither a member of, nor do I have any function in, any political party.
Kako bi obravnavali primer večje nepravilnosti ali celo goljufije in/ali korupcije, v katerem bi bili udeleženi prebivalci države članice, iz katere prihajate?
How would you deal with a major irregularity or even fraud and/or corruption case involving actors in the Member State of your origin?
To bi storil neodvisno, nepristransko in strokovno, v splošnem interesu Unije.
I would do so independently, impartially and professionally, in the general interest of the Union.
Morebitna vključenost akterjev iz moje države izvora ne bi vplivala na moje delovanje.
Any possible involvement of actors from my country of origin would have no impact on my actions.
Dosledno bi spoštoval pravni okvir, ki se uporablja za zaščito finančnih interesov Unije pred nepravilnostmi, goljufijami in korupcijo, vključno z internimi pravili Sodišča, kot je odločitev št. 97-2004, ki opredeljuje sodelovanje Računskega sodišča z uradom OLAF, kar zadeva dostop tega urada do revizijskih podatkov.
I would strictly respect the legal framework applicable to the protection of the Union's financial interests against irregularities, fraud and corruption, including the Court's internal rules, such as its Decision No 97-2004 laying down arrangements for its cooperation with OLAF as regards the latter's access to audit information.
Katere bi morale biti glavne značilnosti kulture dobrega finančnega poslovodenja v javni upravi?
What should be the main features of a sound financial management culture in any public service?
Na podlagi mojih strokovnih izkušenj, pa tudi mojih akademskih dejavnosti na področju javnih financ menim, da naslednja temeljna načela odražajo glavne značilnosti dobrega finančnega upravljanja v vsaki javni upravi.
Based on my professional experience as well as my academic activities in the field of public finances, I consider that the following fundamental principles reflect the main features of sound financial management in any public service.
a) Načelo prevladujočega javnega interesa , ki je vključeno v pravne predpise, ki urejajo finančne dejavnosti države in samoupravnih organov.
a) The principle of an overriding public interest, contained in the legal regulations governing the financial activities of the State and the self-governing bodies.
b) Načelo zakonitosti , ki dosledno zahteva, da vsi finančni akterji upoštevajo vsako veljavno določbo finančnega prava.
b) The principle of legality, strictly requiring all financial actors to respect any applicable provisions of financial law.
