"I voted in favour of the report on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the Commission for the financial year 2009, because it provides a better guarantee of management as regards payments, particularly when funds are misused. By adopting this decision the European Parliament grants the Commission discharge in respect of the implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2009 and sets out its comments in related documents. I feel that it is necessary to simplify and reduce public procurement rules in order to reduce the overall incidence of errors. Governance problems between the Financial Regulation and the cohesion regulations can be avoided by better alignment of eligibility rules across various policies. Simplification, in particular in connection with the revision of the Financial Regulation, needs to ensure stable rules and management schemes in the long term. I regret that in considering the implementation of the budget for the 2009 financial year, the Court of Auditors has again chosen to focus on energy and research policies rather than on transport policy. There is nevertheless a need for greater transparency through the provision of proper information to taxpayers and budget authorities, and for regional and transport policies to be more closely coordinated, as at present only cursory consideration is given to the potential European added value of projects and, consequently, funds are not used as effectively as possible to eliminate bottlenecks and problems relating to border crossings or inadequate connections."@en1
