lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we carefully considered what position we would adopt on the discharge for 1999. This is a year when the present Commission was only able to influence the final quarter of the year and so cannot be held responsible for a very great deal. The reason why we decided to vote against the discharge was because, in 1999 too, there were so many instances of citizens’ money being mismanaged that it would have been wrong to give the seal of approval constituted by the discharge. I do not have enough speaking time to mention all the scandals but would refer to my good colleague, Mr Heaton-Harris, and my other capable colleagues from the Committee on Budgetary Control who mentioned a number of the problems with which we have been confronted. My good colleague, Freddy Blak, has written an excellent report, and I really only disagree with him about the actual conclusion, namely that discharge should be given. Mr Blak has made a great effort to find answers to quite a few questions. The more harmless questions have been answered, but the evasive or inadequate answers to other questions are unacceptable. We are still waiting for a clear indication of responsibility and for those responsible for the mistakes to suffer the consequences. Construction policy, development aid, modernisation and improved efficiency in both agriculture and structural funding are all areas in which the Commission has still not made sufficient progress. Commissioner Schreyer stated that a black list of fraudulent businesses had been drawn up. I cannot help noticing that the ‘Fléchard’ company, which is now for the second time reported to have taken part in serious financial and health-related fraud, is missing from this list."@en1
