"Mr President, anyone who follows this debate without coming to the conclusion that this is the ideal time to consider some fundamental issues must have kept his hands very firmly over his ears.
As an institution, a Court of Auditors ought always to be one of the public’s closest allies. Consider the way the Court of Auditors works these days, and ask yourself whether it can at all be guaranteed that it will be. What has been going on over the past few years? Even now, I remember the massive headlines that the Court of Auditors’ report prompted in 1992. Today, though, people say it is all ‘just the same old thing again’.
Does our making appointments to 25 important positions within the Court of Auditors represent progress for it or for the European Union, and, if so, what qualitative improvements are there going to be? What I expect of you, Mr Fabra Vallés, is that you now think about what you are doing in the light of what has been said so far, and then I expect us to get stuck in to this debate on matters of principle."@en1
