lpv:translated text	"Mr President, with the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, the European Parliament’s responsibilities increased considerably, as it assumed new powers of codecision in the area of preventing and fighting the fraud which harms the Community’s financial interests. The new Article 280 of the Treaty also gives the Court of Auditors new responsibilities by creating a legal body which will afford effective equivalent protection against fraud and any other illegal activity in the Member States. Harmonisation in the area of the application of national criminal law and of the administration of justice in the Member States presupposes, necessarily, the harmonisation of legislation on fighting fraud and any other illegal activity in the Community budget. This means that it also falls within the competence of the Court of Auditors to guarantee that the protection of the Community’s financial interests is done on the basis of a single and is no longer done, as it has been until now on the basis of vague, disjointed and contradictory legislation, which deals with the various attacks on the Community’s financial interests according to the policy they relate to and not according to fair principles. It is therefore time to end the narrow divisions between the Common Agricultural Policy, the Structural Funds, the Community’s own resources and the Community’s internal and external policies and to guarantee that there is one weight and one measure for all of these. It is time to end the administrative and bureaucratic feuds and chapels and show that everyone has the same will to practice justice and rigour. We think that this is the way to better control and manage the Community budget in an ever more efficient, balanced and impartial way."@en1
