"Madam President, although the Court of Auditors states that the accountability of European expenditure has improved, it has failed to grant a full declaration of assurance for the expenditure. That is partly because, while some improvement has indeed been shown as regards the second largest item, cohesion, there are still errors in approximately 40% of the projects. Thus, out of a total budget of EUR 35 billion, there are EUR 2 billion for which no declaration of assurance could be granted. I find that unacceptable; the Commission, in particular, should therefore thoroughly investigate how these errors could have arisen and how they might be reduced. This is especially important in consideration of the discharge of the 2009 budget.
Yesterday, Mr Engwirda, a member of the Court, stated that the errors were primarily due to the complexity of the procedures. That again demonstrates that it is imperative that Europe become simpler and more transparent. If that does not happen, our citizens will continue to see Europe as complicated and overly remote."@en1
