lpv:translated text	"I cannot support discharge being granted to the European Commission or to the other institutions and bodies. The most important reason for that is that the error percentage remains too high. The report on the European Commission by rapporteur Chatzimarkakis spells out the areas of concern brilliantly. However, the Committee on Budgetary Control has failed to conclude that the grant of discharge should be postponed, despite the fact that that is exactly the tool we should be using to exert pressure on the European Commission and Member States to make improvements. For example, the national declarations of assurance. They help improve shared management, and that also means structural funds. The many complicated rules connected with structural funds and research grants present another major difficulty. This is why I have tabled an amendment to the report by Mr Garriga Polledo from the Special Committee on the Policy Challenges and Budgetary Resources for a Sustainable European Union after 2013. With my amendment, I request that the European Commission ensures every proposal is accompanied by an impact assessment. That impact assessment must be carried out independently, not by the European Commission itself. To conclude, reduction of the regulatory burden and national declarations of assurance should lead to fewer errors in financial management. By granting discharge, the European Parliament is throwing away the most important tool it has ever had at its disposal. The Chatzimarkakis report deserved a better fate."@en1
