lpv:translated text	"Mr President, almost all the members of my group are voting against Mr Barroso’s Commission. The fact that a Christian and Eurosceptic has now been removed has not mollified us. We have not obtained the assurances of transparency and public scrutiny we requested. Mr Barroso’s Commission was not inclined to promise that the EU’s auditors and the European Parliament’s Committee on Budgetary Control could now be given permission to audit every voucher for the use of EU money. Nor has Mr Barroso’s Commission promised us full details of the Commission’s more than 3 000 working groups. Who is involved in these groups, what do the groups do, who set them up and what do they cost the taxpayers? Where is the will to draw a line under the sins and errors of the past? When will apologies be made to heroic whistleblowers such as Paul van Buitenem and Dorte Smith Brown? When will sacked chief accountant Marta Andreasen have her dismissal notice exchanged for a medal in recognition of her services? Those employees who help clear up fraud and who prevent fraud must be rewarded rather than punished. The people who should be punished are those who conceal fraud, who are responsible for its being possible to go on committing fraud and who refuse to introduce the public scrutiny that exists in each and every one of our countries. We need a Commission that will introduce general law and order. Let us hope that Mr Barroso will support his Vice-President, Mr Kallas, and that they will together show uncompromising openness and zero tolerance of fraud. Each country should elect its own Commissioner and hold him or her politically responsible, while Members of the European Parliament should be able to monitor their conduct as European administrators and, if need be, request the Court of Justice to sack them for dereliction of duty."@en1
