"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, surveillance is important. I congratulate the Committee and the rapporteur for having the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), among others, improve its rules on conflicts of interest.
It is only fair, however, that when questions have been answered satisfactorily and any errors have been corrected, a discharge is granted. The European Environmental Agency is in this situation. The alleged conflict of interest regarding the head of the EEA has been investigated, and no conflict of interest has been found.
Criticism with respect to public procurement has been targeted at a green façade. It was a work of art and was acquired in accordance with the rules on works of art. The green façade was a very successful information project for the International Year of Biodiversity. Over half a million people saw it. The cost per 1 000 viewers was 50 cents. The Guardian newspaper selected it as Europe’s third best biodiversity information project, and the Danes said that it was the country’s best tourist attraction. The agency should be congratulated and not reproached for such a successful publicity campaign."@en1
