lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the protection of the Community’s financial interests and the fight against fraud require an effective control system, which the European Union does not have. I have the utmost regard for the European Court of Auditors, but its reports give a very superficial picture, and in reality we do not know very much about how EU money is actually spent. Basing budgetary control on the DAS system, or in other words on issuing positive statements of assurance on the reliability of the accounts, does not allow abuses to be uncovered. For this reason, abuses are more frequently uncovered by the press than by the appointed control bodies. What is worse, the European model is recommended to Member States and in Poland, for example, I have noticed that the greater the similarity between budget execution reports prepared by the Supreme Chamber of Control and the reports of the European Court of Auditors, the less real information they contain about irregularities and abuses that are occurring. We should seriously rethink the system for budgetary control in the European Union; its reform should move in the direction of increasing control. Not only checking the reliability of accounts, but also checking specific irregularities and abuses, analysing their causes and making recommendations for their rectification, and also recognising and highlighting mechanisms fostering corruption should become key parts of the system of control in the European Union. We should also create the necessary conditions so that the European Parliament can use reports from national control bodies, in which a huge amount of information regarding the spending of EU money is included, which we have not been using at all up to now. This matter should be resolved systematically. Mr President, we are talking about abuses, so please permit me a small verbal abuse of my own, namely one sentence on another subject: it is precisely in this House that my country, Poland, has been accused of racism and xenophobia. I would like to express my complete rejection of this accusation and to say that in Poland for many years nobody has even had a hair… …on their head harmed due to racist accusations. I wanted to say that because I did not have the chance to speak in yesterday’s debate."@en1
