"Madam President, I am pleased with this report. The reason for this is quite sad, however, as it consists of the observation that large amounts of fraud are committed within the European Union.
I quote: the Commission fails to consider fraud in detail and deals with irregularities very broadly. Large amounts of EU funds are wrongly spent. There is a disproportionate rise in irregularities in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria. Spain and Italy are responsible for the highest number of cases of irregularities. Over recent years, only 10% of legitimate recoveries were actually recovered. Finally, Bulgaria perpetrates the most fraud in connection with the Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (SAPARD).
These were just a few facts from the report. It is a good thing that these facts have been noted, but what is the European Union actually going to do about it? How much longer will fraud continue to be tolerated and for how much longer will the citizens have to pick up the tab?"@en1
