lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President of the Court of Auditors, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the report which our former colleague, Mr Fabra Vallés, is presenting to us today is important in terms of what it says and what it suggests. It makes it very clear to us that the Commission’s accounts are reliable, and also that, despite the criticism that can be made of the accounting system, this system is not necessarily the root cause of fraud. These are two things that I feel are important in the context of the debate that we are holding. Having said that, it goes without saying, Mr President, but above all, Commissioner, that this House is concerned by the Commission’s accounting situation, and I must honestly say – even I who, as you know, always adopt a cautious attitude in the light of ‘scandals’ – that some decisions, such as the one taken this morning, do not, in my view, help the Commission to show that it can propose a legitimate reform of the accounting system and do this in good faith. I sometimes tell myself that ‘we are learning nothing’ or as the Latin saying goes . Why have we resorted to using a scandal, a mini-scandal, a mini-debate in order to delay a reform – reform which you yourselves have admitted is urgent – for such a long time? That is the question that is essentially being raised. We look forward to your forthcoming decision. I believe, however, and the Court of Auditors says this, that this has nothing to do with the discovery of cases of fraud or poor management by the Commission, but I feel, in fact, that it is high time that this reform got off the ground, is discussed, and that it is carried out in all the institutions. It is a shame that it is caused by a situation that we have recently experienced."@en1
