lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all, I agree with the disapproval expressed by Mrs Pack in her proposal for a report on the Council’s attitude regarding the expected adoption of its position on the legislation in question. Indeed, its attitude does not seem to take into consideration the spirit and approach taken by Parliament both in the first amendment of the 1998 Directive and in its Resolution of July this year. I share the objections regarding the choice of where to base the Agency in question – Pristina in our opinion and not Thessaloniki – as well as the objections regarding the unilateral possibility, or so it seems – in the Council’s opinion – of extending the activities of the Agency itself to other regions of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia without even consulting Parliament beforehand. And this, at a time when the quarterly inspection and auditing of the Agency’s activities fall to Parliament, albeit after the event Nevertheless, regarding the composition of the Agency’s board, I do not understand the reasons that should lead Parliament to envisage the nomination of the seven independent experts by the Commission only. This is in direct contrast to the proposals put forward by the Commission itself which, in conjunction with the committee responsible, has instead envisaged the presence of a representative of each Member State. It is not appropriate, in my view, for Parliament to exclude, paradoxically, the Member States that constitute the European Union from a context of decision-making. First and foremost, this context is political and its operational nature comes second. This means that it is not a question of pursuing preventative checks as regards the overall aid proposed, even if the amount, EUR 1,900 million over the next five years, would suggest that this is appropriate."@en1
