The European Parliament has voted on the discharge in respect of Parliament’s own accounts for 2008. Never before has this been done so thoroughly and with such a critical eye. It is a clear victory for both transparency and control and is in keeping with the traditional Danish view of good practice. The discharge report contains a number of points of criticism which require a tightening up of the current procedures and practices. These include increased clarity and openness with regard to the use of additional funds and the accountability of the financial players in Parliament. We are, of course, in favour of this and have therefore voted in favour of discharge and of the resolution as a whole. The European Parliament has to grant discharge to itself each year and that is precisely why a critical review is needed. The report is, of course, the result of a lot of compromises, but in essence it takes a particularly critical stance while at the same time pointing in the right direction with regard to future discharge procedures. Moreover, a great deal of support has been shown for this critical report across many groups in Parliament."@en1
