lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, at the end of the life of a Parliament, we should to some extent be mindful of our own failings. If we, on our last day in the job, so to speak, table a no-confidence motion in a Commission from which the main man has already departed – that being Mr Solbes Mira, who was responsible for Eurostat – then I have to tell the House that we risk making ourselves look ridiculous. If our Chairman – who is now leaving us – achieved anything of merit, it was to take our little Committee on Budgetary Control and make people take it seriously. So I warn you against coming up with more idiocies of this sort. Secondly, Commissioner, we should be rather wary of congratulating ourselves. Looking at what the Commission managed to achieve throughout the whole Eurostat business – to which Members have already referred – I have to say that the end result was modest in the extreme. What made it that was that you, for months on end, simply ignored the reports and resolutions that this House had produced on the subject. This House may be at the end of its term, but we can still tell you that what we expect of any future Commission is another way of going about things. I hope that we will, in future, see that in another shape. That is our responsibility and the Commission's as well."@en1
