meni, da neizterjava nepravilnih plačil v roku štirih let (z upravnimi ukrepi) oz. v roku osmih let (po sodni poti) predstavlja hudo kršitev dolžnosti skrbnega ravnanja; zadevna država bi v tem primeru morala sama poplačati dolg; na ta način bi se države vzpodbudilo, da pravočasno sprejmejo odgovornost in proaktivno odpravijo napake; takšno ravnanje bi olajšalo tudi delo Komisije, ki je odgovorna Parlamentu; zato pozdravlja predloge Komisije v tej smeri KOM(2004)0489 .
Takes the view that the non-recovery of irregular payments within four years (by means of administrative measures) or eight years (through the courts) represents a serious breach of the duty of care; the country concerned should then be required to settle the debt itself; in this way, Member States could be encouraged to take responsibility at an early stage and adopt a proactive approach to remedying errors; a procedure of this kind would also facilitate the work of the Commission, which is accountable to Parliament; welcomes, therefore, the Commission proposals along these lines COM(2004)0489 .
prav tako pozdravlja namen Komisije, da še izboljša sistem "črne liste"; poziva Komisijo, da preuči vse možnosti za razvoj tega instrumenta v učinkovito sredstvo za boj proti goljufijam in ga, kadar je to primerno, razširi tudi na področje kmetijstva; Nemčija, Francija, Avstrija, Nizozemska, Španija in Združeno kraljestvo že uporabljajo to možnost;
Welcomes, further, the Commission's intention to improve the 'black list' system; calls on the Commission to examine all possible ways of developing this instrument into an effective means of combating fraud and, if appropriate, extending its scope beyond the agricultural sphere; Germany, France, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom are already making use of this possibility;
ponovno poudarja svoj poziv Komisiji, naj pripravi poročilo o pomanjkljivostih sistema "črne liste" (Uredba Sveta (ES) št. 1469/95 z dne 22. junija 1995 o ukrepih, ki jih je treba sprejeti v zvezi z nekaterimi upravičenci projektov, financiranih iz jamstvenega oddelka EKUJS UL L 145, 29.6.1995, str.
Reiterates its call on the Commission to report on the inadequacies of the "blacklist" system (Council Regulation (EC) No 1469/95 of 22 June 1995 on measures to be taken with regard to certain beneficiaries of operations financed by the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF OJ L 145, 29.6.1995, p.
poziva k razpravi na podlagi tega poročila o občutnih spremembah tega sistema ali pa o njegovi nadomestitvi z bolj učinkovitim instrumentom;
Calls for discussions to be embarked on, on the basis of that report, either to make significant changes to that system or to replace it by a more effective instrument;
je zaskrbljen nad tem, da vrsta držav članic, zlasti Nemčija, Francija in Španija, ne izpolnjuje svoje dolžnosti poročanja v predpisanih rokih; 90 % primerov je sporočenih Komisiji šele v dveh letih, kar zmanjšuje možnost izterjave napačno plačanih zneskov;
Expresses concern at the fact that a number of Member States, in particular Germany, France and Spain, are failing in their duty to report irregularities within the time-limits set; 90% of cases are reported to the Commission only within two years, which reduces the prospects for recovering sums paid in error;
opozarja na to, da je iz zadnjega poročila o dejavnosti OLAF razvidno, da so preiskovalci ocenili celotno izgubo vseh primerov, ki jih je OLAF obdelal v preteklih petih letih, na 5,34 milijard EUR; ugotavlja, da bi bil do sedaj že lahko izterjan znesek v višini okoli 100 milijonov EUR; ta znesek predstavlja le 1,87 % ocenjenega zneska izgube; pričakuje, da bo OLAF pripravil analizo vzrokov za tako nizko kvoto izterjave pri primerih, ki jih je obdelal;
Points out that the most recent OLAF activity report reveals that investigators have put the total loss to the budget resulting from all the cases dealt with by OLAF over the last five years at EUR 5.34 billion; notes that, of that sum, roughly EUR 100 million has been recovered; this represents only 1.87% of the estimated total loss; looks to OLAF to draw up an analysis of the causes of this paltry recovery rate in respect of cases it handles;
Goljufije v zvezi z maslom s primesmi
Fraud involving adulterated butter
opozarja na to, da znaša finančna izguba Skupnosti, ki je nastala zaradi tako imenovanega primera Italburro (maslo s primesmi), ki je bil odkrit 1999, več kot 100 milijonov EUR in je zaskrbljen zaradi dejstva, da je bilo od zadevnih držav članic (Belgije, Nemčije in Francije), do sedaj ponovno izterjanih manj kot 10 % izgube, ki je ocenjena na 100 milijonov EUR; to lahko predstavlja hudo kršitev dolžnosti skrbnega ravnanja držav članic;
Points out that the financial loss to the Community resulting from the Italburro case (adulterated butter) brought to light in 1999 is put at over EUR 100 million and is concerned that, to date, less than 10% of the estimated EUR 100 million loss has been recovered by the Member States concerned (Belgium, Germany and France); this could represent a serious breach of the Member States' duty of care;
kritizira, da še ni jasno kakšna tveganja za zdravje predstavlja dodajanje primesi maslu; prav tako opozarja na to, da so bili dodatki odkriti po naključju, v zvezi s preiskovanjem mafijskih umorov, in da očitno ne obstajajo nobeni rutinski nadzori za preprečevanje takšnih manipulacij; od Komisije pričakuje predloge, kako učinkovito omejiti zdravstvena tveganja zaradi dodajanja nedovoljenih primesi živilom;
Criticises the fact that the true nature of the possible health risks resulting from the butter adulteration scandal has still not been established; points out, further, that the adulteration was essentially discovered coincidentally, in the course of investigations into Mafia murders, and that clearly no routine checks are carried out with a view to preventing products from being manipulated in this way; looks to the Commission to put forward proposals as to how the health risks resulting from the adulteration of foodstuffs can be curbed effectively;
poziva Komisijo, da najpozneje do 31. oktobra 2005 predloži poročilo o pregleda stanja kazenskih postopkov ni postopkov izterjav ter možnih tveganj za zdravje zaradi dodatkov maslu, poročilo, ki naj vsebuje tudi predloge za učinkovite načine preprečevanja tveganj za zdravje zaradi primesi v živilih; opozarja na to, da so se države članice leta 2000, ko se je razvedelo za afero, zavrnile razkriti ta spoznanja Komisiji;
Calls on the Commission, therefore, to submit, by 31 October 2005 at the latest, a report on the stage reached in the criminal law proceedings and recovery procedures and the possible health risks stemming from the butter adulteration, a report which should also contain proposals for effective ways of curbing the health risks resulting from the adulteration of foodstuffs; points out that, when the case came to light in the year 2000, the Member States refused to disclose those findings to the Commission;
z začudenjem ugotavlja, da so državni organi Zvezne republike Nemčije predložili zadevnemu podjetju zahtevek za povrnitev sredstev v višini 141 737 EUR, ki so bila medtem odvzeta podjetju, ter da belgijsko in francosko državno tožilstvo nista niti enkrat v petih letih sprožila kazenskega postopka;
Notes with amazement that the German authorities have issued a recovery order for only EUR 141 737 against the firms concerned, which have now challenged that order, and that five years after the case came to light the Belgian and French public prosecutor's offices have not yet opened criminal proceedings;
opozarja na to, da je leta 2003 po ocenah držav članic priteklo v blagajno zaradi tihotapljenja cigaret 200 milijonov EUR manj lastnih sredstev in da je celotna izguba morda še višja;
Points out that in 2003, according to estimates drawn up by the Member States, cigarette smuggling cost the EU some EUR 200 million in own resources and that the total loss is in all probability very much greater;
v zvezi s tem toplo pozdravlja sporazum o boju proti tihotapljenju cigaret med Komisijo (skupaj z Belgijo, Nemčijo, Grčijo, Španijo, Francijo, Italijo, Luksemburgom, Nizozemsko, Portugalsko in Finsko) in Philip Morris International (PMI); v zvezi s tem čestita Komisiji za uspešno sodelovanje z OLAF in pozdravlja odločilno operativno podporo, ki jo je zagotovila delovna skupina OLAF v boju proti tihotapljenju cigaret; sporazum predvideva ukrepe za dolgoročno preprečevanje tihotapljenja cigaret ter za odpravo sporov med Skupnostjo in podjetjem; prav tako bo podjetje PMI v obdobju 12 let plačalo Skupnosti in državam članicam skoraj 1,25 milijarde USD; poziva države članice in Komisijo, da ta plačila namenijo financiranju ukrepov za preprečevanje tihotapljenja cigaret, vključno s ponarejanjem; poziva Komisijo naj oblikuje predloge kako uporabiti bistven delež teh prihodkov, ter v kolikor je to potrebno, predstavi predhodni predlog sprememb proračuna in osnuje predlog za pravno podlago;
Warmly welcomes, in this context, the agreement on combating cigarette smuggling concluded between the Commission (together with Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Finland) and Philip Morris International (PMI); in that connection, applauds the successful way in which the Commission has cooperated with OLAF and welcomes the decisive operational support provided by OLAF's Task Force on combating cigarette smuggling; the agreement provides for measures to prevent cigarette smuggling in the long term and seeks to settle the disputes between the Community and the undertaking; in addition, over a 12-year period PMI will pay a sum of roughly US $1 250 000 000 to the Community and the Member States; calls on the Member States and the Commission to use these payments to fund measures to prevent and combat cigarette smuggling, including anti-counterfeiting activities; calls on the Commission to make proposals on the use of a substantial part of these revenues, and if necessary to present a preliminary draft amending budget and proposals for a legal basis;
opozarja, da naraščajoče dajatve na cigarete vodijo do spremembe potrošniškega obnašanja (npr. kupovanje cenejših izdelkov), po drugi strani pa visoke davčne stopnje na tobak predstavljajo dodatno vzpodbudo za kriminalna dejanja (npr. tihotapljenje ali ponarejanje cigaret);
Warns that rising duties on cigarettes may prompt consumers to change their behaviour (e.g. by switching to cheap products) and that high tobacco tax rates offer an additional incentive for criminal actions (e.g. smuggling or counterfeiting);
ugotavlja, da nezakonita trgovina na drobno (predvsem na področju ponarejanja cigaret) narašča, boj proti njej pa je težaven;
Notes that illegal small-scale trading (above all in counterfeit cigarettes) is on the increase and is very difficult to combat;
opozarja na to, da lahko tihotapske poti, ki jih uporabljajo tihotapci cigaret, prav tako uporabljajo tihotapci drog in drugih proizvodov ali substanc;
Points out that the routes used by cigarette smugglers may equally well be used by people smuggling drugs and other items or substances;
opozarja, da se zdi zaradi razlike v ceni cigaret med starimi in novimi državami članicami tihotapljenje zelo privlačno, predvsem zato, ker se osebe in vozila kljub prehodnim dogovorom v obliki količinskih omejitev pri uvozu tobačnih izdelkov v zasebnem potniškem prometu iz novih v stare države članice, pregleduje le po naključju;
Warns that the difference in cigarette prices between the old and new Member States makes smuggling attractive, particularly as, although transitional arrangements in the form of quantitative restrictions have been laid down to govern imports of tobacco products by private individuals travelling from the new to the old Member States, persons and vehicles are now subject only to spot checks;
zato meni, da je nujno izboljšati uradni postopek pomoči in izmenjavo podatkov med pristojnimi organi držav članic, pa tudi po celem svetu; prav tako je treba urediti pomanjkanje osebja v službi za carinsko preiskovanje, carinske službe pa je treba opremiti z več mobilnimi enotami, ki bi jih lahko države članice financirale iz sredstev sporazuma s PMI;
Regards it as essential, therefore, that administrative assistance procedures and exchanges of information among the competent authorities in the Member States and worldwide should be further improved; in addition, staff shortages in customs investigating services should be remedied and customs offices should be provided with more mobile units, arrangements which the Member States could finance using monies obtained under the agreement with PMI;
z obžalovanjem ugotavlja, da organi držav članic OLAF niso posredovali svojih ugotovitev v zvezi s ponarejenimi cigaretami in tihotapskimi dejavnostmi prek tihotapskih mrež (npr. v Južni Aziji); poziva države članice, da na podlagi člena 280 Pogodbe preverijo, kako bi lahko takšne ugotovitve postale dostopne OLAF; naproša Računsko sodišče, da čim prej sestavi mnenje o predlogu za izboljšanje upravnega sodelovanja med OLAF in državami članicami; poziva, da ob tem tudi preveri, ali bi pri opazovanju tihotapskih mrež pomagalo, če bi bile vzpostavljene lastne antene OLAF;
Notes with regret that Member State agencies do not pass on to OLAF the information they obtain concerning counterfeit cigarettes and smuggling activities via key smuggling centres (e.g. south-east Asia); calls on the Member States to examine, on the basis of Article 280 of the Treaty, how such information can be made accessible to OLAF on the basis of administrative cooperation; asks the Court of Auditors for a prompt opinion on the proposal for improvements to administrative cooperation between OLAF and the Member States; asks it to examine, in that connection, whether it might be helpful to set up OLAF branch offices to monitor key smuggling centres;
opozarja na to, da so dosedanje izkušnje s skupnimi carinskimi akcijami ponazorile prednosti boljšega sodelovanja med službami držav članic; priporoča, da se da temu sodelovanju v obliki stalnih delovnih skupin trajen značaj ter da se Europol še bolj vključi v boj proti tej obliki mednarodnega organiziranega kriminala;
Points out that the experience gained thus far with JCOs (Joint Customs Operations) has clearly illustrated the advantages of more effective cooperation between the services of the Member States; urges that this cooperation should be placed on a more permanent footing, in the form of standing task force groups, and that Europol should be more closely involved in the fight against this form of international organised crime;
pozdravlja sporazum med Evropsko skupnostjo in njenimi državami članicami na eni strani ter Švicarsko konfederacijo na drugi strani o boju proti goljufijam KOM(2004)0559 .
Welcomes the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Swiss Confederation, of the other part, to counter fraud COM(2004)0559 .
v zvezi s tem poziva k hitremu sprejetju predloga Komisije uredbe Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta o medsebojni upravni pomoči za varstvo finančnih interesov Skupnosti proti goljufijam in drugim nezakonitim dejavnostim KOM(2004)0509 .
Urges, in that connection, the prompt adoption of the Commission proposal for a European Parliament and Council regulation on mutual administrative assistance for the protection of the financial interests of the Community against fraud and any other illegal activities COM(2004)0509 .
opozarja, da je bil zaradi različnih afer, pri katerih so zasebni izvajalci naročil Komisije, v nekaterih primerih z vednostjo in odobritvijo pristojnih uradnikov, uporabljali denar v drug namen in manipulirali s postopkom dodelitve sredstev (afera ECHO, afera MED), že konec leta 1998 v ureditev proračuna vključen naslednji predpis: "Komisija in drugi organi na zunanja telesa ali organizacije, ne glede na obliko in razlog, ne smejo prenašati nalog za izvajanje proračuna, ki so v zvezi z nalogami evropskih javnih služb, zlasti pooblastil v zvezi s predajo javnih naročil" UL L 320, 28.11.1998, str.
Points out that, in response to various affairs in which private Commission contractors, in some cases with the knowledge and approval of the officials responsible, had misappropriated funds and manipulated contract award procedures (ECHO affair, MED affair), as long ago as late 1998 the following provision was incorporated into the Financial Regulation: 'The Commission and other institutions may not, under any form or upon any basis whatsoever, delegate to outside entities or organisations tasks of implementing the budget which may give rise to missions on the part of the European public service, especially where powers to enter into public contracts are involved' OJ L 320, 28.11.1998, p.
1, člen 54(1) in člen 57(1).
1, Articles 54(1) and 57(1).
meni, da je nesprejemljivo, da je Komisija novembra 1999 kljub vsemu sprejela pravila za pogodbe v zvezi s storitvami, blagom in gradnjo v okviru sodelovanja v korist tretjih držav, ki so dovolila sodelovanje tako imenovanih agencij za javna naročila, ki so nato organizirale javne razpise, podpisovale pogodbe in izvrševale plačila končnim upravičencem;
Regards it as unacceptable that in November 1999 the Commission should nevertheless have adopted rules governing service, supply and works contracts in the context of cooperation to assist third countries which authorised the use of so-called procurement agencies, which then organised tender procedures, signed contracts and made payments to final recipients;
pričakuje, da bo Komisija do 1. septembra 2005 predložila seznam vseh pogodb, ki so bile sklenjene od leta 2005 s takšnimi agencijami za javna naročila; ta seznam bi moral vključevati tudi podatke o trajanju pogodb, postopku, ki je pripeljal do podpisa, in višini zadevnih plačil;
Looks to the Commission to submit, by 1 September 2005, a list of all the contracts concluded since 2000 with such procurement agencies; that list should also contain details of the duration of the contracts, the award procedures and the level of the payments involved;
Prednostne naloge in perspektive dela OLAF
Priorities and prospects for OLAF's work
opozarja, da tudi za OLAF velja načelo subsidiarnosti, torej zahteva po osredotočenju na področja, na katerih službe držav članic nimajo pristojnosti ali na lastno pobudo ne izvajajo zadostnih prizadevanj;
Points out that the subsidiarity principle also applies to OLAF, i.e. the requirement to concentrate on those areas in which the services of the Member States have no competence or are failing to make adequate efforts;
opozarja, da Pogodba o Ustavi za Evropo v členu III-274 predvideva, da lahko Eurojust v boju proti kaznivim dejanjem kot pomanjkljivost finančnih interesov Unije vzpostavi evropsko državno tožilstvo;
Points out that Article III-274 of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe stipulates that a European Public Prosecutor's Office from Eurojust may be established in order to combat crimes affecting the financial interests of the Union;
poudarja, da se morajo ti načrti upoštevati pri razpravi o nadaljnjem razvoju OLAF; do 31. decembra 2005 pričakuje od Komisije in Sveta konkretne predloge o prihodnji vlogi OLAF v razmerju do evropskega državnega tožilstva in Eurojust;
Emphasises that this prospect must be taken into account in the debate on the further development of OLAF; expects the Commission and the Council to submit, before 31 December 2005, concrete proposals concerning OLAF's future role with respect to the European Public Prosecutor and Eurojust;
Preiskave OLAF in varstvo temeljnih svoboščin
OLAF investigations and the protection of fundamental freedoms
opozarja na uvodno izjavo 10 Uredbe (ES) št. 1073/1999 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 25. maja 1999 o preiskavah Evropskega urada za boj proti goljufijam (OLAF) UL L 136, 31.5.1999, str.
Draws attention to Recital 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 concerning investigations conducted by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) OJ L 136, 31.5.1999, p.
(v nadaljevanju "uredba OLAF"), v skladu s katero se mora pri preiskavah OLAF zagotoviti spoštovanje človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin v celotnem obsegu;
("the OLAF Regulation"), which states that OLAF investigations must be conducted with full respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms;
poziva Komisijo in OLAF, da v celoti upoštevata svobodo tiska, ki jo zagotavljata zakonodaja držav članic in člen 10 Evropske konvencije o človekovih pravicah, vključno z ustrezno sodno prakso Evropskega sodišča za človekove pravice na področju zaščite novinarskih virov;
Calls on the Commission and OLAF fully to respect the freedom of the press as guaranteed by law in the Member States and by Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and the relevant case-law of the European Court of Human Rights on the protection of journalists' sources;
skrbno upošteva oceno nadzornega odbora, da sedanja postopkovna pravila OLAF za preiskave ("priročnik OLAF"), ki jih je vzpostavil OLAF sam, verjetno ne zadoščajo zagotovitvi pravic oseb, ki jih zadevajo preiskave OLAF, zato obstaja visoko tveganje, da so rezultati preiskav v takšnih okoliščinah pred sodiščem ogroženi; zato Komisijo poziva, da glede na bližajočo se reformo OLAF predloži ustrezne zakonodajne predloge, ki bi pregnali takšne pomisleke ter zagotovili pravno varnost in pravno varstvo;
Notes with concern the view expressed by the OLAF Supervisory Committee that OLAF's current, self-imposed procedural rules governing investigations (OLAF Manual) may not be sufficient to safeguard the rights of persons under investigation by OLAF and that the admissibility as evidence of the findings of investigations may be called into question; calls on the Commission, therefore, as part of the forthcoming OLAF reform to put forward corresponding legislative proposals which dispel these doubts and guarantee both legal certainty and legal protection;
OLAF in varuh človekovih pravic
OLAF and the Ombudsman
poudarja pomembnost dela Sodišča pri uveljavljanju spoštovanja in razlagi pravnih predpisov Skupnosti in na podlagi svojih sodnih nalog iz člena 255 Pogodbe, prav tako pa tudi delo varuha človekovih pravic, ko gre za prepoznavanje in odpravo primerov nepravilnosti pri delu institucij in organov Skupnosti;
Emphasises the importance of the work of the Court of Justice in enforcing and interpreting Community law and by virtue of its judicial functions under Article 255 of the Treaty, and of the work of the Ombudsman in identifying and dealing with cases of maladministration in the work of the Community institutions or bodies;
upošteva stališče generalnega direktorja OLAF z dne 8. marca 2005, po katerem OLAF v postopku 2485/2400/GG ni sposoben slediti osnutku priporočila varuha človekovih pravic in ga upoštevati ter da je pri svoji obrambi pred varuhom človekovih pravic v zvezi s svojimi preiskavami glede pritožbe 1840/2002/GG navedel nepravilne in zavajajoče podatke;
Notes the statement made by the OLAF Director-General on 8 March 2005 to the effect that in procedure 2485/2004/GG OLAF is unable to comply with the draft recommendation issued by the Ombudsman and concede that in its submissions to the Ombudsman in connection with his investigations of complaint 1840/2002/GG it made inaccurate and misleading statements to him;
pričakuje, da bo Komisija storila vse potrebne korake v smislu posebnega poročila varuha človekovih pravic z dne 12. maja 2005 in še nepodanega mnenja Parlamenta o tem poročilu, tako da bo zaslišala odgovorne osebe in ponovno vzpostavila verodostojnost OLAF;
Looks to the Commission, in the light of the Ombudsman's special report of 12 May 2005 and Parliament's as yet unissued response to that report, to take whatever steps are required, if appropriate, to call those responsible to account and restore OLAF's credibility;
Postopek za imenovanje generalnega direktorja OLAF
Procedure for appointing the Director-General of OLAF
