lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Caldeira, Mr Šemeta, ladies and gentlemen, the overall error rate for spending from the EU budget was 3.7%. This figure is too high. A resolution by this House based on the Liberadzki report calls for this figure to be constantly reduced. I am concerned that the Court of Auditors’ annual report for the financial year 2010 shows that the trend is being reversed. After three years of falling error rates, the figure is now increasing again. Unfortunately, European regional policy is once again responsible, because the error rate in this area rose from 5.5 to 7.7%. Interestingly, information from the European Commission shows that the United Kingdom is in third place behind Spain and Italy in the list of states where the most errors take place. We know that errors are being made because of divided management in the Member States and we know which Member States are responsible. Therefore, we are calling on the Commission to focus on monitoring activities in these countries. The Commission must suspend or interrupt the programmes, but the error rate must come down. If we look at revenue, it is clear that one eighth of the European budget is made up of income from external tariffs. The Member States are also failing to fulfil their obligations in this area. Duties are not being levied efficiently and once again Italy and the United Kingdom, together with the Netherlands, are the main culprits. I would like to thank the European Court of Auditors, you, Mr Caldeira and all your staff for this important document, which we will make detailed use of in the forthcoming discharge procedure."@en1
