"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, expenditure within the framework of the EAGGF, Guarantee section, forms the largest entry in the whole of EU expenditure, and this year amounts to over EUR 41 billion. The far-reaching management and control measures which the Commission proposes are therefore very appropriate indeed. It is a matter of great urgency that such a large part of the EU’s expenditure should be used correctly and efficiently. I do, however, wonder whether the proposed measures are the most effective. In this respect, I would refer to the useful input from the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development in this report. The Committee claims that, when data is collected, the existing databases are ignored, would you believe! This is how useful information for managing Community aid falls by the wayside. The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development is right in saying that the Commission is acting in an absurd manner. Data on payments or revenue in respect of the EAGGF, Guarantee section, can only be used at the request of the Commission for closing accounts. But surely this is no reason to ignore this information. The existence of this wealth of information should have been a reason for the European Commission to adapt Regulation 2390/99. We at the European Parliament can still rectify this mistake made by the Commission by including an amendment to the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development’s recommendation, which unlocks this source of information for the management of Community aid. If the regulation has been amended to this effect, we will back it without hesitation."@en1
