EP approves new rules to fight fraud and euro counterfeiting

 

The European Parliament plenary has today voted in favour of two initiatives from the European Commission that will help protect the euro against counterfeiting and combat fraud against the EU budget. The Parliament backed measures which will strengthen the protection of the euro and other currencies against counterfeiting through criminal law measures. The European Parliament also voted in a first reading in favour of a Directive to tackle fraud, which will create a more harmonised framework for prosecuting and punishing crimes involving the EU budget.

"Today marks a good day for honest businesses and citizens and for our EU budget. The new rules that Parliament just voted will strengthen confidence in our most valuable assets: the euro and our European budget. If we don't take action to protect these two common goods, nobody else will" said Vice-President Viviane Reding, the EU's Justice Commissioner and Algirdas Šemeta, Commissioner responsible for anti-fraud. "Both Directives agreed on today mark a strong and unified response to protecting our currency and clamping down on criminals that want to pocket EU taxpayers' money. We would like to thank the European Parliament, especially its rapporteurs, Anthea McIntyre, Ingeborg Gräßle and Juan Fernando López Aguilar, and the Greek Presidency for their excellent work which made the adoption of these legislative texts possible."

1. Stronger sanctions and cross-border investigations to prevent counterfeiting

The European Parliament today endorsed the key elements of the Commission's proposal to strengthen the protection of the euro and other currencies through criminal law measures. Since the euro was introduced in 2002, counterfeiting is estimated to have cost the EU at least EUR €500 million. The new legislation will help tackle counterfeiting by ensuring that effective and deterrent sanctions are applied across Europe. There will also be new measures to strengthen cross-border investigations.

Every year in the EU, large amounts of forged euro notes and coins are seized and illegal print shops and mints are dismantled within and outside the European Union. Recent figures published by the European Commission show that a total of 175 900 fake euro coins were withdrawn from circulation last year, while according to the latest figures from the European Central Bank, 353 000 counterfeit euro banknotes were withdrawn in the second half of 2013 alone.

This new EU law will introduce common maximum penalties for the most serious counterfeiting offences: imprisonment of at least eight years for production and five years for distribution. Cross-border investigations will be strengthened by ensuring that investigative tools provided for in national law for organised crime or serious cases can also be used in cases of counterfeiting of currency. The law will also enable an early analysis of seized forgeries during judicial proceedings in order to better detect counterfeit euros in circulation and to prevent their circulation.

Today's vote follows the political agreement reached with the Council in the trilogue on 12 February 2014, which was confirmed by Member States' representatives on 19 February 2014, and the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) on 20 February 2014. The Directive must now be formally adopted by the Council of Ministers in one of their next meetings. After publication of the Directive in the Official Journal, expected in June 2014, Member States will have two years to implement the Directive in national law.

2. Fighting fraud to ensure correct spending of EU funds

As we are getting out of the economic crisis, public finances are still under scrutiny throughout the EU, and so every euro counts. The correct use of EU funds is paramount to generating more jobs and growth. Today, the European Parliament endorsed the Commission's proposal for new rules to fight fraud against the EU budget by means of criminal law to better protect taxpayers' money.

Currently, there is a wide variety of approaches to the protection of EU funds across Member States. The interpretation of what constitutes fraud to the EU budget differs from one country to another, as do the penalties. For example, the level of sanctions for fraud varies across the European Union from no mandatory sentence for fraud to 12 years imprisonment. Equally the time within which it is possible to investigate and prosecute offences varies widely, ranging from 1 to 12 years.

The EU-wide rules endorsed today by the European Parliament will introduce new common definitions of fraud. This will ensure that fraud against the EU budget is considered a crime everywhere in the EU. The rules will provide sanctions for fraud against the EU budget, including imprisonment, and there will be a level-playing field for periods within which it is possible to investigate and prosecute offences. This will help deter fraudsters, providing more effective legal action at national level and facilitating the recovery of lost funds.

The proposed Directive is integral to the functioning of the proposed European Public Prosecutor's Office, which the European Parliament recently endorsed. The Directive will set out the offences that the European Public Prosecutor's Office may investigate and prosecute, thus helping to reduce the misuse of EU taxpayers' money.

The European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) and the Committee on Budgetary Control (CONT) backed the Commission's proposal with an overwhelming majority in March 2014. Following todays' approval from the European Parliament, the law will be adopted once the Council, acting by a qualified majority, approves all Parliament amendments.

Culture wars in Ukraine: History lessons

Whose helmet is it, anyway? “HE WHO controls the past controls the future.” Orwell’s dictum now faces a new test. Shortly before Russia annexed Crimea, the Bakhchisaray museum, north of Sevastopol, lent some valuable artefacts to an exhibition in the Netherlands. The question as to which country these (and other objects from Crimean museums) should return is creating a diplomatic conundrum.“Let yourself be overwhelmed by the gold of Crimea,” boasts the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam. Never before has Ukraine lent so many mostly Crimean treasures. The Black Sea peninsula is filled with gems left by invaders over the centuries. The exhibition includes a Scythian gold helmet from 400 BC, pottery from Greek colonisers and a lacquered Chinese box that came along the Silk Road. “We have given our very best objects,” sighs Valentina Mordvintseva, a curator at the Crimean branch of the Institute of Archaeology. She fears she may not see them again.Who is the rightful owner? On legal grounds, Kiev has the upper hand because the Allard Pierson signed a loan agreement with the Ukrainian state. And as the Netherlands...

Greek politics: Remaking the political landscape

GREECE’S chances of recovery after six years of misery are improving. Its first bond offering in four years, seen as a test of confidence, did much better than expected. Tourists are flocking in for Easter; hoteliers predict a record 19m visitors will come this year. One long-blocked resort project on Crete seems poised to go ahead, raising hopes that foreign investment may flow into other industries such as electricity and ports. Angela Merkel, the German chancellor and often one of Greece’s harshest critics, spoke encouragingly to young Greek entrepreneurs during a quick visit to Athens on April 11th.Yet the new optimism does not seem to be trickling down to most voters. Unemployment fell slightly in January, but still stood at 26.7%. The social safety-net is stretched so thin that only one in ten of the unemployed gets any benefits. Private-sector workers complain of being paid months in arrears. An estimated 35% of Greeks now live in poverty, according to social workers and charities.No wonder Greece’s clientelist political system is in tatters. It was once a politician’s responsibility to find jobs in the public sector for...

Charlemagne: Russia’s friends in black

IF EUROPE’S far-right parties do as well as many expect in May’s European election, no world leader will be happier than Vladimir Putin. For a man who claims to be defending Russian-speakers in Ukraine against fascists and Nazis, the Russian president has some curious bedfellows on the fringes of European politics, ranging from the creepy uniformed followers of Jobbik in Hungary to the more scrubbed-up National Front in France.There was a time when Russia’s friends were principally on the left. There are still some pro-Moscow communists, for instance in Greece. But these days the Kremlin’s chums are most visible on the populist right. The crisis in Ukraine has brought out their pro-Russian sympathies, most overtly when a motley group of radicals was invited to vouch for Crimea’s referendum on rejoining Russia. The “observers” included members of the National Front, Jobbik, the Vlaams Belang in Belgium, Austria’s Freedom Party (FPÖ) and Italy’s Northern League, as well as leftists from Greece and Germany and an assortment of eccentrics. They declared that the ballot, denounced by most Western governments as...

Never again? Debate to mark WW1 centenary

by  ER/EUROPA

One century ago Europe was on the brink of one of history's deadliest conflicts that would change our world forever. MEPs commemorated the centenary of the Great War during a debate on 16 April, warning that peace and stability should never be taken for granted. They also called for more integration and stressed the importance of fighting nationalism to ensure peace, stability and security in Europe.

WW I was the first great catastrophe of the 20th century, said EP President Martin Schulz, pointing out the importance of  international cooperation.

Greek foreign minister Evangelos Venizelos, speaking on behalf of the Council, said:  "the anniversary finds Europe again confronted with situations that are testing its international political presence, from Syria to Libya and from Iran to Ukraine.”

José Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, claimed the EU "provides us with ways and means of avoiding the perversity of nationalism while retaining the culture of our various countries". He defined the current conflict in Ukraine as a contrast between "a modern, open, democratic Europe" and "the old concept of a Europe which continues to think and act in categories of power, spheres of influence, diktats, mistrust and the logic of divide and conquer".

Joseph Daul, the French chair of the EPP group, reminded that WW I was an “accident caused by selfish nationalisms” and called for more integration and common polices. “If Europe was to succumb to populism and eurocepticism we would be going back through time. It would be a return to chaos and warfare in Europe."

“New groups and parties built on hatred and xenophobia are rising in Europe,” warned Hannes Swoboda, the Austrian chair of the S&D group.  “Nationalism will cost us social peace, safety, prosperity and international influence. That would be a high price for our citizens would have to pay."

Guy Verhofstadt, the Belgian leader of the ALDE group, said war or the absence of it was once the only argument for European integration. However, he said :"Let's be honest about it. We will not only convince the younger generation by pointing to a horrible, but distant past. We need to explain to them how Europe and European integration is a tool for a better future." Daniel Cohn-Bendit, the French co-chair of the Green group, urged the Parliament “to defend a community-based interest and leave behind national interests”. “European federalism is key for [Europe's] future on the global stage," he said.

Martin Callanan, the British chair of the ECR group, reminded  that unfortunately not all countries learned their lessons from World War I as they still rely on threats and military force. The Parliament should give the signal that the EU will never support war, that peace is fragile and cannot be taken for granted in Europe, said Gabriele Zimmer, the German chair of the GUE/NGL group.

Nigel Farage, the British co-chair of the EFD group, said the idea that it was the existence of national states that led to war and that therefore they need to be abolished is a “potentially dangerous falsehood”.

Daniël van der Stoep, a Dutch MEP who is not part of any of the political groups,  said that the European Parliament had the same objectives as the out-of control leaders of the world wars, namely to create a state as powerful as possible on the European continent. "There are voters who will make clear on 22 of May that they oppose the unlawful and dictatorial occupation of their nation states."

The BBC: there to inform, educate, provoke and enrage?

The BBC has never seemed more under attack. But what provokes such passion? In the second of a series of essays on the corporation's past, present and future, Charlotte Higgins asks why the critics seem to come from within as often as from outside

Part one: What can the origins of the BBC tell us about its future?

The BBC is like the Greeks Hydra: vast and many headed. The same organisation that made Sherlock frittered away £100m on a failed IT initiative; it runs five orchestras, the Today programme and the World Service; it inexplicably buys and then sells for a much smaller sum the Lonely Planet guides. While Kenneth Clark was pacing the streets of Italian hill towns, filming Civilisation for BBC2, Jimmy Savile was presenting Top of the Pops on BBC1, and Stuart Hall was informing, entertaining and abusing in the north of England. Whatever qualities it has, it often seems to embody the opposite, too. For most of us, there are parts of the BBC we couldnt live without, much of it that we enjoy, vast acreages that we take for granted, and characteristics that we find irritating, infuriating or even loathsome.

Some of the most outspoken critiques of the BBC come from within it. One cold sunny morning I visited Jeremy Paxman in his flat in west London. As he padded around filling the cafetière, he railed against the BBCs closed corporate culture. He said: It is smug. I love the BBC in many ways, but at the same time it has made me loathe aspects of it, and thats a very odd state of affairs. When I see people being given £1m merely for walking out of the door, when I see £100m being blown on that DMI [digital media initiative] thing, a stupid technical initiative like that, I start wondering: how much longer are we going to test the publics patience?
