"Mr President, I would like to say two things. Firstly, the Committee on Budgets has done its job and brought the draft estimate of Parliament’s 2012 budget to the point where it can be examined, debated and voted on by your Parliament, by the House, in accordance with our procedures and with what we did last year. Opinions differ among the groups. They will be able to have their say.
Secondly, I cannot allow Mrs Andreasen, who is fully acquainted with this matter, to say that there is a personal conflict of interest in having me, the Chair of the Committee on Budgets, sit on the board of trustees of the House of European History.
I do not sit on the board in a personal capacity; I am there in my capacity as Chair of the Committee on Budgets, appointed by the Committee on Budgets to represent it within that body, just as the Chair of the Committee on Culture and Education represents her committee within that body.
Naturally, if someone were to dispute that, I would be prepared to give up the role. Still, one must be careful not to confuse matters when using words such as ‘conflict of interest’, Mr President."@en1
