lpv:translated text	"Madam President, as the Court of Auditors' report says, we have made progress in many areas. I would like to thank it for its report. But there is one area in which we have not made any progress: in pointing to Member States individually. We are a group of twenty-five and we cannot just give one mark for the whole of the class The 300 pages of its report contain references to Greece, but you have never said which Member States are mainly responsible for our not achieving the target or — if you do not just want to be hatchet men — which Member States are doing well or are greatly improving. Other institutions do it: the European Central Bank points to individual Member States by name. You are not an assembly of diplomats defending national interests. In your press communiqués, you must point out, amongst other things, which States are doing things well and which are not. The Finnish Presidency is not even represented here, but on the basis of the report by the House of Lords, a report for which we have great respect, I am going to ask, on behalf of the group that I coordinate, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, for an initiative report to look into the Court of Auditors' methodology. I well remember how one of its members, the Belgian member, Mr Pinxten, took his post without giving up any of his economic or political responsibilities. In the end, when he was threatened with being brought before the courts, he had to leave by the back door. That shameful episode was not unfortunately the finest hour of the Court of which you are the worthy President. I would like to say one thing to Vice-President Kallas. In your speech to the Committee on Budgetary Control on the 23rd, you said that 2 100 million had been recovered. You criticised the auditor harshly — I do not know whether that is the best you could do — but I would like you to specify, if possible, which policies, programmes and Member States that 2 100 million recovered relates to."@en1
