"This is a report on the EU’s financial interests which presents a summary of the available statistics on irregularities reported by the Member States in various areas, including agricultural policy, cohesion policy, pre-accession funds and the recovery of the EU’s traditional own resources. Innumerable irregularities were found in those areas in various Member States during 2009. Many of these irregularities are detected and/or reported belatedly, jeopardising the protection and proper usage of taxpayers’ money. We support the criticisms made by the rapporteur as regards the need to implement an effective recovery system. At present, the overall recovery rate is far from the desirable level. However, we would like to stress that, more importantly than having common legislation at EU level for combating corruption and fraud, each Member State needs to put the fight against fraud and corruption into practice. In any event, we would warn against confusion between control and excessive bureaucracy, which undermines the rights of those who seek support, especially small social organisations, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)."@en1
