lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the resolution we are discussing this evening is self-explanatory. It is a direct result of Mr Wynn’s discharge resolution of 2003. It is important that we should gain better control over EU funds. We all know that the Court of Auditors has failed to issue a positive statement of assurance during the last 11 years. It is to the Commission’s credit that it has adopted Parliament’s recommendations almost in their entirety. That is to be welcomed. The Member States, unfortunately, take a different view, and a much dimmer one, and that is why this evening is mainly intended as a debate with the Council. I have to say that I am not entirely won over by Mr Winkler’s responses and observations this evening. In actual fact, what we demand in this resolution is not that different from what is already happening in some cases. We would like to refer back to the previous statement in which we ask the highest political authority to sign that statement. In that resolution, we go no further than statements at a lower level. If we study current practice in agricultural spending, certification bodies are already in place that monitor payment bodies independently and that carry out independent checks. It is beyond me why Member States can accept this in the area of agricultural spending, but not in the other areas of budgetary spending, such as structural spending. This evening’s discussion does come with some strings attached. I assume that the Council is familiar with the Böge resolution on the financial perspectives. Not only are we asking for more funds following the Council’s decisions, we are also asking for better financial supervision, which is the very purpose of the resolution that we will – it is to be hoped – be adopting tomorrow."@en1
