lpv:translated text	". This annual report follows up Article 280 of the Treaty, relating to the policy of preventing and fighting fraud in the EU. Firstly, it is regrettable that the Eurostat affair was not included, which highlighted the risks inherent in the Commission’s outsourcing policy and the fact that outsourcing should only be used as a last resort. Secondly, the report shows that the number of cases of fraud and irregularities reported in 2002 has risen by 13% to over EUR two billion, most of these under the Structural Funds. It should be noted that the year in question was an unusual year due to the conclusion of the programmes for the period 1994-1999. Germany and the Netherlands accounted for almost two-thirds of irregularities, and for 55% of fraud and irregularities in traditional own resources, namely unpaid customs duties and unpaid duties on goods moving within the EU. It is therefore essential that we implement measures effectively to coordinate the fight against smuggling, particularly of tobacco and alcohol. Lastly, I agree with the rapporteur on the need for a Commissioner to be exclusively responsible for budgetary control and that the European Central Bank should report all cases of fraud since 1999 to OLAF."@en1
