lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the level of economic and financial crime must be reduced in every Member State. Large amounts of EU funds are spent on other purposes, while the incidence of VAT recovery fraud is on the increase. I have already mentioned it before and will again: one effective method for possibly eradicating corruption in public procurement is to introduce an online tender system. As a country located at the EU’s border, Romania has increased responsibility for mitigating the impact of illegal activities. In this regard, the country’s authorities have carried out large-scale actions during the last two months, aimed at eradicating customs corruption. Cooperation and exchanges of experience must be stepped up with the Western Balkans region in order to provide more effective protection for the EU’s financial interests. I am referring, for example, to cigarette smuggling, which is a major, direct obstacle to the European budget."@en1
