We regard as essential the need expressed in the Commission proposal, and highlighted in the parliamentary report, to increase transparency, both in the financing of the common agricultural policy and in the provision of accounts in respect of the expenditure practices of the EU institutions. It is also essential to improve budgetary control. However, we are disappointed at the proposal’s limited scope and the fact that the European Parliament has not been ambitious enough in either its report or its amendments.
In our opinion, there are still some proposals of no practical use which in fact limit the freedoms and guarantees of citizens, such as the requirement for ‘those using, or looking at, the data [on the Internet to] sign on or register’. In addition, there is some ambiguity, both in the Commission’s proposal and in the EP’s report, with regard to the continued publication of information. It is proposed, from the start, to carry out ‘an assessment of the advantages or otherwise of the publication of this data’ in the future. Another debatable issue is the reinforcement of the Commission’s power of control over the Member States.
Finally, we consider that the best way of enhancing ‘transparency and public understanding of the common agricultural policy’ – an objective expressed in the proposal – is through its complete overhaul."@en1
