"Implementing the 2010 budget was a challenge, as it was the first full year of operation of our new Statute for Members and Statute for Assistants, in addition to the changes to the implementing rules for both statutes, which proved a significant additional burden for Parliament’s administrative services. Nevertheless, the EP budget was implemented in accordance with the principles of good financial management, which was confirmed by the European Court of Auditors. The Court found no serious breaches when assessing the compliance of the system of controls and supervision with the Financial Regulation. In this context, I very much welcomed the opening in 2011 of the Visitor Centre, which has already been visited by over 100 000 citizens. At the same time, I would like to suggest that a study be carried out after it has been in operation for 12 months to gauge public reaction and also to assess the costs and benefits of the centre and to consider the profitability of this investment. I do not, however, agree with the criticism levelled at EuroparlTV, which I personally consider to be a successful project, although it is still too early to evaluate it as it is still in its pilot phase. As regards the discharge for 2010, I am very concerned by Parliament’s expenditure on its seat in Strasbourg, which amounted to EUR 51 500 000 in 2010, as well as the costs already incurred for the KAD building in Luxembourg and those forecast over the next 20 years, which exceed EUR 800 000."@en1
