"Thank you very much, Commissioner Liikanen, for an absolutely excellent reply.
Everyone who has followed this matter and has heard the demands we have made of the IT Agency perhaps has difficulty appreciating that those demands related directly to Crete. We are concerned that the Agency may be ineffective. Parliament will therefore, of course, apply pressure in this area. We are totally convinced that the Commission can also help us minimise the negative effects of locating the Agency in Crete, which I do not regard as the ideal location. The Council is unfortunately defending incomprehensible positions, for example that such decisions should be made without public scrutiny. To be honest, that is incomprehensible, given the legislation on transparency we have elsewhere.
I shall conclude by putting a question, not because I cannot work out what the Commissioner thinks but because I want a clear answer, which I intend to use in the election campaign in relation to the governments. Might the IT Agency be more effective with a smaller management or perhaps with a system of rotation? How important is it that the institutions use tax revenue efficiently and thriftily, and how might we bring this about?"@en1
