lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I stated recently that the use of financial resources available to the European Union is probably the most complex, but at the same time, the most attractive task undertaken by the Community institutions. Improving effectiveness and transparency in the use of human resources is therefore welcome, noteworthy and justifiable. The quality of European citizenship, in other words the feeling of belonging to a supranational area of solidarity, is also reinforced by the way in which the Union’s financial pillar is used. As the budgetary authority, the European Parliament is crucial to achieving this improvement. We can therefore only praise the Commission’s efforts intended to improve the criminal-law protection of the Community’s financial interests and particularly to create a European Prosecutor. In order for the reforms we are now examining to lead to effective protection of the European taxpayers’ money and also of the Union’s credibility to ensure this protection, we must make a major effort to harmonise procedures, to coordinate actions and to ensure fair and open cooperation between Member States. It is also crucial, however, that the essence of this policy is made irreversible, depending on how the Community method is used. I therefore welcome the recommendation by the rapporteur, Mrs Theato, when she maintains that criminal law cannot be envisaged as an area for Union regulation only in the third pillar and when she argues that the creation of the European Prosecutor on the basis of the first pillar could be an extremely significant step for the future structure of ‘EU Powers’."@en1
